Philadelphia, Oct. 13.-The British
steamer Evelyn, Capt. Horner, from
Huclva, Spain, anchored in the Delaware
river this evening, having on board the
almost lifeless bodies of nine seamen, the
crew of the Norwegian bark Lovise, who
were picked up at sea after having been
adrift without food or water for nine
days.
Their condition when rescued was
most Ditiable one and so faint had they
become that it was necessary to tie lines
to them and haul their attenuated and
trembling forms on board the steamship.
The particulars of the terrible suffering
of the men are meagre, as they are still
too weak to go into details.
The Lovise, in command of Capt. An
derson, left Mobile with Il full cargo of
lumber She experienced the September
hurricanes and was badly disabled. Her
condition became so bad that all hands
had to leave her in two small boats, and
until the Evelyn hove into sight they had
not seenaaa vessel for nine days They
could not have lasted another night. The
Lovise was an old. style craft. at times
she was completely ut the mercy of the
sea and it was impossible for the crew to
venture on deck. For days they clung to
the sunken fabric, expecting with every
lunge she made to lie hurled into eternity.
Finally the condition of the vessel be.
came such that the crew could no longer
remain on her, 50 they put off in the re-
manning two small boats.
Three of them lost their minds from
suffering. They raved and finally sank
in absolute exhaustion. When the Eve
Ign hove in sight these POOR fellows lay
helpless in the bottom of the boat. Capt
Horner did everything possible for the
suffering sailors and there is now hone of
their recovery.

In a Critical Condition.

Mr.. Lawrence Jones, who was stab

colored, is in a critical condition. The
first Of the week he was apparently
somewhat better, but this morning he
$ worse again, and there are grave
fears for his life. The grand jury con-
sidered the case yesterday. Toliver
was arrested and sent to Jail the day
after the stabbing, charged with as
sault with intent to kill, it not then
being known how seriously Jones was
injured. Yesterday a statement from
DR.. Reynolds was read before the
grand jury, indicating the serious con-
dition Of the victim Of the stabbing

certain. Action was therefore deferred
until the February term. If the IN
fortunate young man should die, a

against Toliver, who must remain in
Jail until the next term of court.
