Carrabele, Fla, Feb. IA boat
containing five corpses and six men
barely alive has drifted ashore on Dog
Island. When discovered by two fisher
men the survivors were lying unscon- :
scious on the decomposed corpses of
their companions. The survivors were
revived and Gilbert Holmes, who was
strongest, related story of awful suf-
fering.
Last week the IL left Key West in a
smack to fish on the west coast When
two days out the smack was wrecked,
the men escaping in "a boat without
=. food, water or clothing. Three days
after the wreck Frank Mason died and
soon thereafter Max Thornton, Alfred
Stafford, Joe West and Nathan Adams
succumbed. The survivors were too
weak to throw their dead comrades into
the sea. For the last two days Holmes
was the only one conscious and he does
not remember all that happened
The scene at the boat was horrible
The living and the dead, without rag
of clothes, were piled upon each other.
The corpses seemed to be gnawed in
places and the fisherman suggested
that, in desperation, the survivors tried
to sustain life on the flesh of their dead
companions.
The survivors are Jose Rodriguez,
Sam Williams, Henry johnson, John

CAR AND CIB COLLIDE.
The Latter Vehicle was Wrecked HI
Nobody was Hurt.


Nobody was Hurt.
Car No. "A of the West Eighth street
line collided with one of William G..
Martins coaches at Eighth and Orange
streets about O'Clock Thursday after
noon. The coach was badly wrecked,
but the car sustained no damage. No
body was hurt, and the horses, by
almost miracle, escaped injury.
The team was being driven down
, Orange street by colored man, and
the noise he made was evidently so
great that he did not hear the car ap-
proaching. The streets are narrow, and a
coal wagon prevented the motorman Of
the car from seeing the approaching
carriage. AS soon as he saw the dan-
ger, however, he shut off the current
and applied the brake.
The car struck one of the front
wheels of the cab with considerable
force. But the horses had time to get
across, and they suffered nothing worse
than fright, which, however, did not
cause them TO run away. The driver
was composed, and kept control of the
horses. He quietly got down off his
seat after the accident
The wrecked vehicle was removed to
one side of the track and the car pro-
ceeded.
Several persons who saw tho accident
thought that neither the mutorman nor
the cab driver we're at fault, as neither
one had an opportunity to see the other
until 1t was too late to prevent the
collision.

Chief of Police Dolan Receives a Peculiar
Letter from I.,wrenca. Mass, Man.

Chief ui Police Dplan Receives a Peculiar
Letter From "a L,wrenca, Mass, Man.
Chief of Police Dolan Friday morning
received a peculiar letter from John
Mccarthy, who is now in Lawrence,
Mass, in which the writer makes
serious charge against the chief, which,
however, is without foundation. Nc.
Carthy accuses Chief Doan of putting
up fake on him at one time while
he resided in this city, and alleges that
the persecution is being continued.
Mccarthy was arrested on Christmas
day on charge OF disorderly conduct
preferred by Mrs. Robinson, who
keeps a boarding house on East Fourth
street, and with whom Mccarthy
boarded at that time Mrs. Robinson's
testimony was damaging and Mccarthy
was fined S..
In his letter TO the chief Mccarthy
alleges that fake was put up on him I;
that it was concocted by the chief,
who got Judge Ball and Mrs. Robinson
into the scheme, and succeeded in con
victing him.
L4cCarthy further alleges that Chief
Dolan has written to the Boston police
and that another fake is being con-
cocted by the Boston authorities at the
instigation of Chief Dolan.
As matter of fact Mccarthy was
arrested for disorderly conduct. about
which the chief knew nothing until the
complaint had been filed. 1t was plain
case and the course of the authorities
was plain. There was no fake or scheme
about it, and since Mccarthy left the
chief has not given him a thought,
and as for dickering with the police Of
Boston or any other city TO put up
fake Chief Dolan is not guilty. He
has no interest III the man and is not
doing anything for or against him.
Judge Ball is equally innocent of the
charge, as undeniable facts were
brought out at the hearing, and the
judge was guided thereby.

don't have to give up your 80 cents

money. How is that inquired the
Western man, It's easy was the re-

your eight men come in with their
eight tickets; then collect the tickets
and send one man out with them to the
other seven. There's no rule for using
