ooA1 BARGE FOUNDERS.
Jersey Belle's Rough Experience-He
 Crew Saved.

Crew Saved.
 New York, Sept. 1O.-The large ocean, going tug Underwater came into the lower bay early this morning and an- chored the barge Mercedita, which she had in tow, off Liberty Island! The Underwater left Philadelphia, on Mon day, having in tow the coal barges Mercedita, for Boston, and the Jersey Belle, for Providence.
 Yesterday morning at 10 o'clock, six teen miles north h-northeast of Absecom, the crafts encountered very heavy sea, which tore off the tarpulin and hatchway of the Jersey Belle and she sank in few minutes. The Jersey Belle had a cargo of 2,500 tons of coal. On the barge, besides Captain Wolfe and crew, were the captains wife and son and a young lady, Miss Ella B. Couillard, New England school teach CT, who lives somewhere along the Pe- nobscot river, in Maine, and who had been spending her vacation on the ocean. She sailed from New England on another barge.
 Just before the sinking of the barge the boiler which ran the pumps blew up with terrific force, scattering coal and splinters in every direction. The barge sank in about twelve fathoms of water and her masts are sticking out of the water. Through the good work of Captain Wiley of the Underwater the passengers and crew were saved.
 The Jersey Belle was new barge, built about eight months ago at Bath, Me. She was about 215 feet long, 46 foot beam and IS foot hold, and carried four masts, but no sails. The Merce- dita had about three feet of water in her hold

They Convene and Nominate Full State
 Ticket,

Denver, Sept. 10.-The silver republi- can convention completed its labors to- day by naming full state ticket and appointing conference committee with fuli power to dispose of the candidates upon fusion ticket.
 The conference of fusion committees from the four parties was in session all day, but nothing was done. test vote on governor failed to secure ma jority of the conference for any candi- date, though a tie vote was recorded for Adams, democrat. The delay hinges on the gubernatorial nomina- tion each party standing out for that office.
 The conventions have all indorsed the Bryan and Sewall electors nomi- mated by the democrats, but failure to set up a fusion state ticket will be the probable outcome of the confer ence to-day.
 The ticket named by the silver re- publicans follows:
 Governor, J. L. Bush; lieutenant governor, Simon Guggenheim; secre- tary of state, Harry E. Mulnix; state treasurer, George W. Kephart; state auditor, John W. Lowell; attorney gen. eral Byron L. Carr; superintendent of public instructions, Mrs. Mayne Mar ole; regents of state university, William J. Orange and Dr. E. G. Lobengfer.
 The silver party has not yet named a state ticket, and the poDulists in Pueblo are awaiting the result of the fusion conference here.

London, Sept. IDA few days ago MT. Gladstone was requested to ad- dress mass meeting to be held in Liverpool for the purpose of condemn ing the sultan of Turkey for permit ting the massacres of Armenia. In re- ply to the request MT Gladstone has written letter in which he says:
 My opinions of the great assassin and of the disgrace the European pow CTS have allowed him to bring upon them are well known to my country men, but I do not think that benefit would accrue from my taking part in meetings, however valuable and even obligatory such meetings may be for those still engaged in the active duties of public

Bridgeport, Sept 1O.-An addition is being built to the African Methodist Episcopal Zion church. To-day while workmen were engaged in ripping down a portion of the old walls they came to the place where the original corner stone was built. The pastor determin- ed to have the stone removed for ex- animation. Instead of finding the cor ner stone which everyone supposed had been laid they found plain slab in it's place.
 Members of the church were aroused over the find. An old woman, member of Zion church, says that she remem- bers when the corner stone was laid She says it was laid with the usual ceremonies and that in the receptacle were deposited coins newspapers, and documents. It is believed by some that the stone has been stolen in re- cent years and the slab substituted The date of the ceremony referred to is 1885,

WILD NIGHT OFF. THE COAST
CRAFT OF ALL KINDS BUFFETED
 BY WIND AND WAVE.

On the Sound Many Steamers and schoon- CTS Suffered Badly-Several Vessels Their Cables to be Swept Before the Gale -Rumor That at Least One Boat Foun- dered-Great Damage to Shipping Warning of the storm Did Not Reach Mariners in Time-Tempest Was at Its Worst on Block Island Sound.
 Vineyard Haven, Mass, Sept. 10- About fifty fishing schooners and a small number of coasters were anchor ed at Tarpaulin cove last night during the violent easterly gale. Schooner Red Jacket, Mullen, of Rock Island, for New York and Providence, parted both chains and dragged afoul a fishing schooner Edith L. Conley, carrying away port rail and chain plates. She afterwards drove ashore on the west side of the harbor, where she pounded heavily but remains tight. The Conley lost bowsprit and all head gear. Fish ing schooner Emma of Portland parted both chains and fouled schooner Mer- tis H. Perry of Gloucester and had main and fare boom broken.
 The Martin H. Perry lost foremost and bowsprit with all headgear, broke main boom, foregaft and sustained other damage. During the collision Ned Sheen of Provincetown, twenty eight years old, one of the Perry's crew, jumped overheard and was drowned The Perry and Conley will probably be lowed to Gloucester for repairs The masters of both vessels were taken to Woods Holl to-day where they could communicate with their owners.
 Fishing schooners Helen and Maud Gertrude of Newport hoth parted chains" and went ashore on the west side of Tarpaulin cove.
 Fishing schooner Ethel B. Jacobs of Gloucester is anchored off Woods Holl with hawser pipe broken down.
 NCWpOIl, Ih. koSpl' lV~SClioUilGL Helen F. Whitten has three feet of wa ter in her hold. The crew was at work this noon removing the fish and gear from her, but Captain Marshall does not consider her so badly off as to de- mand stripping her.
 Yesterday the fishing schooner Mi randa of Gloucester lost her headsails when nearly into the bay, and then ran off before the storm. Nothing fur ther has been heard of her.
 A sloop about the size of the Gloriana was seen laboring off Beaver Tail. Her headsails was seen to be in shreds, and moment later a lighthouse keep CT says she was nowhere to be seen. Those watching believe that she found cred.
 Plymouth, Mass, Sept 10.-Schooner Little Kate Captain Alexander Ruder, eighteen tons burden, engaged in bay fishing, lies badly wrecked on Whites flats, in the lower harbor, where she went ashore last night. The captain and crew with some of their belong ing, came ashore in their boat this morning. There are fifteen qulntals of fish on board which, with other things, will probably be a loss. The storm is doing great damage along shore. The lobster fishermen are among the suffer- CTS, as their pots are being washed ashore The fruit trees are blown tC pieces and the ground is strewn with fruit.
