New YORK, Oct. 14.-Capt. w. W.

schooner, Luther NJ. Reynolds Of
Frederick, Del, were picked up at sea
from their dismasted and waterlogged

Winter Quarters lightship, when the
gale increased to hurricane. On the
11th the vessel heeled over until the
topmasts touched water. On the 18th,
the crew were rescued. Two of the
crew are nearly insane from their suf.

The Middle Of the Road Populists all
over the Union have my sympathy
and admiration. They have been sold
out and their party made a foot mat
for Democratic politicians to wipe
their feet on under the hypocritical
pretence Of patriotism. The fusion
lists have abandoned principle and
gone into a mad scramble for the
piece counter. If Bryan is defeated
it will be a fault of the traders in his

q Dreadful ESnerIenca.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 13.--The British
steamer Evelyn arrived here tonight
with the crew OF the Norwegian bard
Loviz aboard. The Loviz was aban-
doned while on a voyage from Mobile
for Rosario, Argentine Republic, and
after nine days of suffering in an open
boat, her crew were picked up by the
EVELYN. The Loviz left Mobile on
Aug. 6 with cargo of pitch pine.
On Sept 7 a heavy gale of wind was
encountered before which the bark
scudded for two days. On the 9th a
dismantied ship was sighted laboriug
in the sea. The Loyiz bore down to
her and First Mate Edward Callaksen
and two men put off ir small boat
to the laboring ship. The trip was at
the rish of the mems lives as a heavy
sea was still running. Nevertheless,
they reached the sinking bark, which
proved to be the II. f. Marshall of
Digbv, n. S, from Savannah for San
tos, Brazil, with a cargo of pitch pine.
In four trips, the men of the Marshall
were put aboard the Loyiz The Loviz
then made sail and landed the Mar
shalls crew at the Bermudas. After
leaving the Bermudas the Loviz had
pleasant weather until Sept %. when
a gale sprung up and the bark soon
sprang a leak. The men worked at
the pumps, but the bark made water
rapidly and by Sept. 25, there was Is
Ieet of water in the hold The bark
was then in long 80, lat 35. Unable
to keep the bark afoat the crew took
to two boats, there being in all nine
men in the crew. The boats were well
provisioned and well watered, bat in
the heavy sea running swept half Of
the water overheard. Finally, the
two boats were lashed together and a
sea anchor put out, and in this way
they rode out the gale. For nine days
the men driited along under the tropi-
cal sun with but one drink Of water a
day, suffered great agony ana anxiety:
When they had nearly abandoned
hope they were picked up by the stea-
mer Evelvn. The Loviz was bark
of 1853 tons and hailed from Chris
tiana, Norway. where she is owned by
NJ. Laangard & Co.

Two Desperadoes.

COLUMBUS, Ca, Oct. 14.-About
2:30 o'clock this afternoon J. a.
White, a shoemaker, and Henry
White, his son, foully murdered two
policemen on thirteenth street, this
city and fatally wounded another on
Sixteenth street shortly afterward.
There was no cause for the commits
sion of the crime other than the fact
that both men had been summoned to
appear before the recorder tomorrow
for some trivial otfense. Richard
Adams was the officer who summoned
the two men to court. Immediately
after he summoned them with tho sub.
poena both men armed themselves
and returned to Rumsey's bar on Thir-
teentb street, near where Adams was
standing. The elder White deliber-
ately levelled the Winchester with
which ne was armed and shot Adams
just above the heart, killing him al
most instantly. Officer William jack
son, who was patroiling the adjoining
beat, heard the shot and ran to the
scene. He was met by both the
Whites, who began firing on him as
he turned the corner from First ave
nue.. He was shot four tines, but
lived until Z o'clock tonight. After
the commission of the second murder
the two men walked leisurely up First
avenue to their home on Sixteenth
street, where Officer Charles Roberts
went to arrest them. In answer to his
knock upon the door, Roberts received
bullet from Whites Winchester
through the stomach. He staggered
to the street mortally wounded, and
at this hour, though alive, no hope is
entertained for his recovery. BY the
time the third policeman had fallen
crowd Of over 800 armed men had
reached the scene and the nurderers'
house was surrounded. Tom Jackson,
marshal of Girad, and Ieno Pickett,
an extra policeman of this city, volun.
teered to run White out Of his house.
Four other brave men offered to follow
them, and the crowd charged on the
house, firing hundreds of bullets into
the windows and doors. When the
fuSliade CEASED Jackson ana Hlchel
forced open the door, whereupon
White began firing upon them. The
two men rushed in upon him, and af-
ter shooting him a half dozen times
dragged him into the streets. Imme
diately after delivering Whites body
to the sidewalk from the effects of
what is believed to be a mortal wound.
He was taken to nearby house,
where he is still quartered, and though
in critical condition, there IS a faint
hope for his recovery. The young
White escaped from the house and
crossed the river near by into Alaba-
ma. where be was captured tonight at
1880 o'clock BY Officers Osborne and
Threllkeld of this city. He was
brought to this city and placed in jail.
It is believed that he will be lynched,
though the town IS quiet at midnight.

M'KINLEY'S CERTAlNTlES.
How the Republicans Feel Abou: the Sit.
uation In Doubtful States.

Gen. Grosvenor, of Ohio, sent out
few days ago an estimate OF what he
called "certainties" in the line of elec-
toral votes for Mckinley. He figured
out 27S for the Canton candidate. 1t
was mere blind. The truth is that
the Republican poll had just been fin
ished and it showed such an alarming
outlook for Mckinley that the Gros
venor lest mate" was wired over the
country.
Mr.. Bryan is gaining now every day
and the Republican managers know it.
The Plttsburg Leader, Republican
paper, has just printed elaborate re
ports OF a canvass made Of several Of
these Grosvenor States "by great
Pittsbu firm" VINO sought lnforma
ton from business and insurance men
and attorneys, OF course, all Mckin-
leyites. They rather discount Gros-
venors certainties:
California Business Mani predict
a majority Of 1000 for Bryan"
Illinois Attorney-"I consider Hi.
nois as very doubtful State, and
should not be at all surprised to see
Bryan and Altgeld prevail, although l
hope not"
Maryland Business IIsn-''I think
it more than likely that Maryland
will give majority for Bryan "
Michigan Correspondent-"My own
opinion is the vote of this State will be
pretty close, with the chances in favor
of Bryan"
Minnesota Clergyman-"It is i'm
possible tc tell how this State will 60.
The free silver candidate will be elect.
ed from this district to Congress. I
have been in Arkansas, Tennessee, IL
linois, Ohio, New York and Minneso-
ia during the last two months and find
the silver idea spreading"
Colorado Business Man-''Colorado
will give Mr.. Bryan 100, 900 ajoritv.
Attorney says Mckinley will receive
not more than 30, 900 votes in Colorado
and the poll will exceed 10000
votes"
Montana Banker "The State will 60
for Bryan beyond question. The min
ing States will not support McKin-
ley"
South Dakota School Superinten-
dent-"The Democrats, or Bryan men,
have increased wonderfully in num-
bers and are still on the increase. The
State will 60 for Bryan"
Wisconsin Business Man-"No one
feels sure of the result. A majority
of the farmers will vote for Bryan"
Thirty days ago every Democrat in
Indiana was remarking. Bryan
could carry the State now by so, 900 if
the election were held tcday.''
Democrats are asking for continu-
ance of the case. The campaign OF
education is progressing.
A fierce battle is now 'on" against
the gigantic trusts, corporations and
combinations that have been intluenc.
ing legislation, corrupting our law
makers and nominating Mckinley for
the Presidency. The people are read
ing, rejecting and deciding that the
only way out of the horrible mess is
to elect Mr.. Bryan.
The more time we have now the
greater will be the victory.
