A Crew Rescued, But a Hero Drowned.


The lumber schooner Nathan F. Cobb
of Rockland, Me-, was discovered in the
surf at Ormond, Fla, Saturday. Eight
men were in the rigging and great waves
were breaking over them. Two sailors
were swept into the sea, giving despairing
shrieks that were heard above the roar of
the breakers. A line was fastened to a
'lifeboat and Thomas Fogan of Ormond and
James Warehouse of Cape Elizabeth, Me-,
attempted to reach the wreck. On reach
ing the high breakers on the first bar, the
lifeboat capsized. Fogan swan ashore,
but Warehouse attempted to cling to the
bdat;~ 5et was finally struck by it and sank.
Mr.. Waterhouse had but recently arrived
here and was to act as Cashier of Hotel Or
mond. A line was finally gotten TO the
wreck and all the men in the rigging were
rescued.
The Nathan F. Cobb, Captain Bremen,
left Brunswick on last Saturday, lumber
laden, for New York. On Monday night,
off Frying Pan shoals, she sprang a leak
and capsized in a gale. The crew cut the
rigging away as quickly as possible and she
righted. The mate, Fred Beale, and the
cook, Thomas Besle; werelos at this time.
From Monday night until midnight on
Wednesday the wreck drifted before a
northerly gale. After Tuesday the crew
had nothing to eat.

No Chance for Dingley Bill.
The Boiling silver Senators Refuse to
go Into n Republican Caucus.

go Into n Republican Caucus.
A Washington despatch says that four
of the five boiling ''silver" senators now in
the city-Dubois, Pettigrew, Mantle and
Cannon-remained away from a caucus of
Republican senators held Monday evening,
and held conference of their own in the
committee room of Mr.. Dubois. Dubois
has resigned the secretaryship of the eau
Gus and his place on the Senate steering
committee. This is considered to indicate
the purpose of the silver men not to affili-
ate in the future with their old-time col
leagues.
The chief topic discussed at the caucus
was the Dingley bill and the possibility of
taking II up and passing it, with the result
that the matter was referred without action
to the ste ering committee. The consensus
of opinion gathered from the short speeches
made was that it would not be wise to take
up the bill, owing to the entanglements
that were sure to arise, and the more po-
tent fact that it would be impossible to get
the votes wherewith to pass it. Republi-
cans who attended the caucus say they are
firm in the conviction that the Dingley bill
is now without hope of passage. The de-
bate was participated in by upwards of a
dozen senators. Hale and Frye Of Maine
thought it expedieht to take up the meas
ure and push it, while Aldrich of Rhode
Island and Morrill, of Vermont were OPP
posed.
Senator Wolcott of Colorado introduced
a resolution, which was unanimously
adopted, for the appointment of a commit
tee to try to secure an international none
tary conference.

The Shortage of Benjamin CrOnyn of
Burlington Is $4,000.

The shortage of Benjamin Cronyn, the
Burlington insurance agent who has dis
appeared, is SIS, 900 to $4,000, and of this
amount upwards of $12, 900 is due to Bur-
lington creditors. The largest item is
$500, which arises from Mr.. Cronyn's
failure to account for the proceeds of the
sale of piece of real estate made through
his agency. The amount due to the in.
surance companies is about $500. There
are no assets whatever except the slender
item of Office furniture, which has been at
tached on a claim of $246. Nothing has
been heard from Mr.. Cronyn and his pres
ent address is still unknown. A. p. Childs
of Bennington, general agent of the New
York Life, is out about $1000;the company
not being loser, as Mr.. Childs assumed
the account personally. What became Of
the money is a mystery as Cronyn was O
man who had no expensive habits, and
who was never known to indulge in spec
ulation.

Bank Robbers Who Had Secured
$4,000.

Four men were arrested in Hanover,
Kan, last week, who are believed to be the
leaders of a gang which in 40 days has
robbed % banks in that state and secured
more than $4,000 in cash. In every case
they have used dynamite to break into the
bank vaults. They would not have been
suspected of their last robbery If one of
them had not dropped large roll of money
from his pocket at hotel. The officers
were notified and followed the men to their
home, where they were arrested. From
one of the men who weakened it was
learned that the house at Hanover was the
headquarters of the gang, which numbered
IS men, and comprised some of the most
desperate characters in the West, the ma
jority of them being refugees from the In
dian territory. A search of the premises
resulted in the discovery of $500 in gold
and silver coin, buried in the earth beneath
the floor of the kitchen, and several thous-
and dollars in currency hidden in various
parts of the building. Watches and jewelry
of considerable value were also found.
