of hockland, Me-. coal laden for New
buryport, was driven On the beach in
heavy northeast gale about five
O'Clock ana within an hour began
breaking up. The sea was so heavy
tina; to launch a small boat was out of
the question, yet in the face of this
peril two of the crew could be seen
making the attempt. The boat was
taken up by huge wave and tossed Lee
yond their reach. TO be washed up OH
shore, stove TO pieces. As the matches
and house went by the board the crew
made for the rigging, one, thought to
be the captain, lashing himself TO the
mainmast, where through a glass an
hour later be appeared to be dead. Five
Of the others took to the mizzenmast,
flashing their bodies to it, while the
seventh man dashed himself to The
other mast.
Hundreds gathered on The beach, and
the fishermen battled for an hour in
the surf in an effort to launch q boat,
but they were forced to abandon it.
The Plum island life-saving crew was
notified and drove over the ten miles of
rough road in the lifeboat behind four
horses, arriving at 7;15. At that hoar
binding snowstorm had set in, cutting
off view of the vessel and making it
impossible to throw lifeline to the
doomed craft. At 1915 two bodies
were wasEed ashore. and soon after il
cleared for a few minutes, when it was
seen that the masts had been swept
away and the other five had gone down
to watery graves.

Her seven men dashed themselves to the
masts and the craft broke up an hour
after striking. Three bodies were
washed ashore and the other four men
were swept in, tied to the masts, and
were rescued by plucky spectators, who
at the peril of their lives rushed into the
breakers. The vessel was commanded!
by Capt. Melanzo, of st. John, who was

RACES AT WAR.


Ing. Ind.
Whiting. Ind, Feb. 7.-Whiting was
the scene of bloody riot Thursday
afternoon and as result three men
are dead and another is living at the
point OF death. The dead are: Emory
SzanJo, Steve Mutcha and John Mokin
Seriously injured: Jacob Gladstone,
cigar manufacturer, 397 South Max
street, Chicago, shot in breast; John
Thomas, foreman for Standard Oil COM
pany, shot in right side, will die.
The trouble began in the saloon of
Joseph Maovitik, corner of Adams street
and Whiting road. For some years bad
blood has existed between the Hun
gaIians and the Polanders living in
Whiting. Maovitilx is Pole, and about
two o'clock Thursday afternoon crowd
of Hungarians entered his saloon with
the avowed purpose of cleaning out the
place. They began by directing Insult
ing remarks to the saloonkeeper and his
wife, who was also in the saloon at the
time. Several Of Maovitik's friends were
standing around, and one of them struck
Hungarian, knocking him senseless.
The Hungarians became enraged at
this, and, drawing revolyers, opened up
promiscuous shooting. Maovitils and
his wife fled upstairs, leaving the Huns
in possession of the saloon. Several
of the Huns rushed outside and with
clubs began breaking out the large
plate-glass windows of the saloon.
Maovitill from an upper window fired a
volley at the men below His shots
told, and when the smoke cleared
away Szanio, Mol<in and Mutcha lay
dead in the street
In the meantime, Mrs. Maovitik stood
at the head of the stairs and fired into
Il crowd attempting to mount the stairs.
Thomas fell, it is thought, MORALLY
wounded. Gladstone was in the saloon
at the time the trouble began taking
orders for cigars, and was endeavoring
to escape when one of the shots from
the woman's gun struck him in the
breast, Just over the heart. The bullet
was checked by matchbox in his vest
pocket, which saved his life.
At this juncture, Chief of Police Dob
bins, Officer Lowenthal and Deputy
Sheriff Emmell came on the scene. The

students ARE sted on The charge of muir
dering Pearl Bryan, were Friday
brought into the police court and ar
raigned on a charge of murder. Both
entered plea of not guilty. and they
were remanded to Jail without bail.
William Wood, arraigned on the charge
of aiding, pleaded not guilty and was
held in $1,000 bail. which will be given
in short time.
Late Friday afternoon jackson sent
for General Secretary Tibbetts, of the
y. M. C. \. When Mr.. Tibbetts arrived
the prisoner asked him TO pray with
him. The request was granted, and at
the conclusion of the prayer a Bible
was procured IN response to the wish
OF jackson. Opening the book, and
falling ON his knees, the young man
dictated the following, which was writ
ten by Mr.. Tibbetts and afterwards
signed by Jackson:

There was post norton examina-
ton held Friday at which the physi-
clans held that the head of Pearl Bryan
had been cut off while she was alive,
and they could fiud no trace of drug.
There is quite dispute among the
physicians as to whether the head was
clt off after the murder, in order to
prevent identification and discovery,
or whether the girl was murdered by
having her throat cut to the extent OF
decapitation. The lawyers are anxious
for positive evidence on this point in
order TO establish beyond doubt the
charge of murder on the two suspects.
