WIND AND STORM
Caused the Staunch Schooner Calvin B.
Orcott to Go Down With All On
Board.

Chatham, Mass, Dec A.-Last nights
storm was the most severe Of the season
here. A gale was accompanied by a
snow storm. The schooner Calvin B. Or
colt was wrecked and her entire crew
lost. The gale rapidly increased during
the afternoon and the falling snow added
to its fierceness. Some fishermen on the
north Chatham shore saw the schooner
very close in Chatham bar. She was
then too close to fetch out by Ed Pol
lock reef, and the gale was crowding her
on the shore with mighty force. Her sails
were in ribbons and the ropes were as
big as a mans arm, being covered by
snow. Finally anchors were let go. 1t is
thought the captain misjudged his posi-
ton. The schooner was discovered COM
ing under sail and afterwards she was
seen flying sails of distress.
Owing to the heavy breakers the Chat
ham crew could not launch their boat.
The Orleans crew was the only one
that could possibly aid the schoon-
err 1t was II o'clock before the Orleans
crew was aware of the disaster. 1t was
1:30 before the crew reached the wreck.
Men were seen lashed to the rigging and
the line hung over them, but no men
were moving, showing that the last spark
of life had ebbed away before help ar
rived. This was at o'clock and fifteen
minutes later the masts fell, the schooner
split open and the sea claimed as fine
vessel as ever sailed. 1t was a most
trying experience for all. At daylight
this morning only the keel of the vessel
remained.
1t is thought that the vessel struck the
bottom. after dragging down to good
holding ground.
The beaches are strewn with wreckages
but no bodies have been rescued.

c. V. Williams met a sudden and awful
death at Bessemer yesterday morning
about 8 O'clock. Deceased was foreman
of a switching crew of the Birmingham
Mineral railroad, and was engaged in do
ing some work in the old DeBardeleben
furnace yards. He, with others of his
crew, was sitting on the front of the en-
gine when suddenly he fell forward,
landing on the track. There was no cow
catcher to the engine and before the pom
derous machine could be stopped the
wheels caught him and he was horribly
mangled. Both legs and arms were cut
OF and his head mashed almost beyond
recognition.
AS soon as possible information of Mr..
Williams death was sent to the yard Of
flee, and the official in charge notified S.
e. Jones & Co., undertakers, to take
charge of the remains. The undertakers
gathered up the remains and prepared
them for burial.
Deceased was 35 years old and had been
in the employ of the Birmingham Min
eral railroad for eight years, and was al
ways considered a sober, upright and re-
liable man and employe. He leaves a
wife and three children.

Is an American Newsgatherer, but Held
AS a Patriot-War News.
Havana, Dec. A.-Enrique Delgado,
who is described as an adjutant on the
rebel generals staff, was captured in the
prefecture of General Melguizo on De-
cember is. Yesterday he was brought to
Havana and imprisoned in the San AM
brosio hospital 1t Is unknown whether
he is wounded or sick. The American
consulate has taken up the case and will
submit it to the government, as Delgado
claims that he is an American citizen and
came to Cuba as the correspondent of the
New York evening papers. He denies
that he was rebel officer or that he took
any active part in the rebellion. He is
known to many persons in Havana and
elsewhere in Cuba he at one time having
been a purser in the employ of the New
York and Cuban Mail Steamship COM
pany.
A Spanish newspaper report says when
captured Delgado had in his possession
letter to the late Antonio Maceo, the reb-
ell leader, who was killed recently near
Punta Bravo, and an order from Maceo
to the rebel prefect of the district in
which he was captured directing the pre-
feet to treat him with all the courtesy
due his rank.
Captain Nazario Castillo and eleven of
his followers have surrendered at Cali
mete, province of Mantanzas.
1t is reported that the rebel leader
Jiran Rus died on the night of December

MURDER AND ROBBERY
Charged Against Spanish Soldiery-One
at Victim Mere Child

Charged Against Spanish Soldiery-One
ai Victim a Mere Child.
New York, Dec. 24-Word was received
In this city tonight of the murder by
Spanish troops of Antonio Diaz, a PLAN
ter, his son, z years old, and Manuel
Grandes, of Casignas. Letter details were
received by Cuban resident here who
owns farm near Jaruco, about twelve
miles from Havana, and 1t came from
his overseer, who announced that he had
abandoned the farm, as his position en-
tailed too great risk. The letter tells of
the death of Diaz whose farm was in the
neiShborhood. The Spanish troops had
frequently visited Diazs place and had
been treated well. Recently the Cubans
who approached so near the capital
stopped at the farm, and, though Diaz
was in sympathy with them, he request
ed them to withdraw, as it would bring
suspicion upon him. They did so and
Diaz's escape from injury at their hands
was interpreted by the Spaniards as evil
dence that he was friendly with them. A
troop of Spanish soldiers then visited the
place and found Diaz plowing in a
field, his little son near him. They put
both to death by machetes. They they
ran across Manuel Granados, who had
come to pay Diaz for some corn he had
purchased. He was likewise dispatched
and $500 found on his person was appro-
priated.

Buda Pest, Dec. 24.-Today's papers
here state that the princess of Chimay
and Caraman, formerly Miss Clara Ward,
of Detroit, Mich, the report of whose
elopement with a Hungarian Tsigane Ga
gypsy musician) caused such a sensation
in aristocratic circles a short time ago,
has arrived at Stuhl Wayssenburg in
company with the Tsigane. whose name is
Rigo. They deny that they eloped. The
princess declares that she openly bade
farewell to her husband before she left
his home, and that he was fully aware of
her love for Rigo and of her intention to
go with him. The princess, the papers
add, has visited RIGGS parents, who live
in a gypsy house, and promised them
that she would marry their son as soon as

The Robbers Escape.

The RODDerS Escape.
Kansas City, Mo-, Dec 24.-Shortly af-
ter 8 o'clock last night, a daring train
robbery was committed just one mile east
of independence, Mo-, near the famous
Blue cut, where several train robberies
have occurred. The train robbed was
the. St. Louis and Chicago express, which
left Kansas City over the Chicago and
Alton road at S:45 last evening. When
the express stopped at independence the
robbers climbed aboard without having
been seen by the train crew, concealed
themselves on the blind baggage and en-
gine tender. When the train reached the
bridge over the Missouri Pacific tracks,
about a mile from independence, two of
the robbers climbed into the cab of the
locomotive, and covering the engineer
and fireman with revolvers. commended
them to stop the train. When the pas
senger coaches had been cut off the en-
giufer was ordered to go ahead, which
he did. All the robbers had climbed up
on5the locomotive and express car and
were soon speeding down a steep grade

from Maceo to the prefect of Las Tum-
bas, commencing the bearer to his con-
sideration and courtesy. These docu-
ments could scarcely be regarded as in
eliminating.
Mr. Delgado reached Maceo's camp in
the hills, and in his quest for news
tramped nearly 200 miles. One of his
ankles gave way, and he was obliged to
go to bed in one of the field hospitals.
There he was taken, with several COM
panions. He is now believed to be in
Moro Castle.
Immediately upon learning this fact
the Mail and Express telegraphed to Mr.
Olney in Washington and cabled to Con-
sui General Lee in Havana, asking that
the legal rights of Mr.. Delgsdo be re-
garded. and that if he has not already
been shot. that the execution be stayed
until it can be shown that his mission was
not one of sympathy or intended partici-
patton with either SIDE
The cable to Consul General Lee has
probably been acted upon by Vice-Consul
Springer.
Mr.. Delgado was born in this city and
lived nearly all his life here and in Brook
lyn.

DUN'S REVIEW.

New York, Dec. PAR. G. Dun e. Co,
say this week, In their review Of trade
The failure of two important banks, the
second in size at Chicago. and the oldest
at St Paul, with some others dependent
on them, closes not favorably a month
which promised to end with only mod
crate commercial disasters 1t does not
lessen the effect of these failures that one
was caused by enormous loans in excess
of an electric railway and other con-
Germs, and that the other appears to have
resulted from heavy ventures In unsale-
able real estate. Since several thousand
business men and depositors are for the
time embarrassed as much as the Spec
ulatorS that caused the trouble, the
breakdown Is the reverse of hopeful at
present, although 1t comes when the mar,
kets are well supplied and when no Sc
rious effect In business Is to be appre-
hended.
Other important events of the week are
the failure of the billet and rail pools to
arrange a basis for agreement and the
somewhat general discharge of hands
or reduction of wages in the shoe manu-
facture. The holiday trade has been
fair, but generally in articles of medium
grade.
The reports of earnings are not cheer
ing, and the aggregate for December
thus far has ben per cent. less than
last year, the granger and other western
roads showing the most decrease.
In the cotton manufacture there Ia
further decline in some staple goods,
and takings by northern spinners are dis
appointingly light. Print cloth accumu-
lates, and prices do not advance. Raw
cotton comes forward just as it did in
other years, when official and other
stories of injury ended in great crops.
Sales of wool are restricted by the gen.
eral conviction that prices asked by in
terror holders cannot be realized. and
there is considerable disposition to un-
load speculative purchases at geaboard
markets The volume of business, all
branches considered Is not large. Pay
rients through clearing house have been
for the week 25 per cent. less than last
year, and for the month thus far the
daily average Is 9.s per cent. less than
last year.
Failures for the week have been 297
in the United States, against 322 last
year, and A in Canada, against 40 last
year.
