FATE OF a BARK.
a Story of Shipwreck-Part of
the Crew Finally Rescued.

San Francisco, Cal, Sept. %
The story of the fate of The
missing Norwegian bark SeIa
don vas confirmed today upon
the arrival of the steamship
Moana from Sydney. The Sci
adon left Newcastle, n. S. W,
on July IS. 1895, for Honolulu.
On the night of august z the
vessel struck Starbuck island
while running at a speed Of
seven knots and fifteen minutes
later four feet of water was re-
ported in the bold and two
boats were LAUNCHED with
crews of eight men each. After
laying by the vessel until day
light, Captain Jegar decided to
make for Mado island, which
he reckoned to be two days
sail. Having nothing but a
chart and compass, however,
the boats missed the island
and attempted to make Christ
mas island, bat missed that
also. They then ren before the
wind, aud for seventeen days
proceeded without a mishap.
Upon august IS the gig cap
sized and all lis occupants ex-
cept Chief Officer Kris Nelson,
who was drownSd. were picked
up by the other boat. Captain
Jegar died of exhaustion on
August Is and was buried. On
august 80 the fourteen men
divided their last tin of meat,
five pounds, which lasted three
days. Meantime they were
dependent upon occasional
showers of rain for their water
For SIX more days
they sailed on, too weak to
move, and when all hope had
been given up their boat rau
on the reef Of Sophia islands
and cast them ashore. For
tunately they were picked mp
by natives, who treated them
with the utmost kindness. But
the ships carpenter, T. Olsen,
died from the result of his ex-
posure q few days later. After
subsistiDg upon cOcoanuts, tur-
tie and seabirds for ten months
and ten days the steamer
Clyde, bound fer Auckland,
was sighted and Captaip Call
ahan, took Tie ship wrecked
men to FIJI, where ibey were
transferred to the bark Ellen,
which conveyed them to sgd
ney.

ALOSS BY FLAMES.
Many Buildings Destroyed and
Two Lives Lost.

Chillicothe, Ohio, Sept. 49,
The village of cambridge was
the scene of one of the most
disastrous conhagrations this
afternoon that ever occurred
in this country. An entire
square containing most of the
prominent business houses,
several handsome residences
and the Methodist church, was
entirely destroyed and two
prominent business men lost
their lives in an explosion
which occurred in a drug store.
The fire was started in a
barn by two little boys who
were playing with lighted
matches. The flames spread
rapidly and communicated with
the main buildings. Owing to
the limited means at hand for
fighting the fire it passed all
bounds and became unconuol-
liable. In the midst OF. the ex-
element a terrible explosion
occurred in the drug store of
w. P. Beardsley. Mr.. Beard
sley while endeavoring to save
some of his property lost his
life in the ruins. His brother
in-law, Thomas Higgins, who
went to his rescue, was unable
to get out and was burned to
death, while several others
were more or less injured, but
none fatally.
There was a stiff breeze
blowing, which famed the
flames to greater fury, and get
ting a fresh start from the burn
ing oils and chemicals in the
wrecked drug store, the fire
leaped from house to house
until it was evident that the
entire town WAS doomed. A
message was sent to Waverly
and to this city asking for aid
and both FIRE departments
promptly responded. The spe-
cial trains with the engines did
not arrive until nearly three
hours after the first alarm was
given. The best that could
be done was to prevent the
FIRE from communicating to the
other squares and the men
soon had the flames under
control.
The excitement was awful.
Men, women and children
were reduced to the verge Of
despair as they saw their pos
sessions feeding tbs. greedy
flames and tonight scores Of
people are homeless.
The estimated loss IS $50
600.

A LINCOLN STORY.

One summer morning, shortly before
the close of the civil war, the not uu-
usual sight in Washington OF an old
veteran hobbling along could have been
seen on a shady path that led from the
executive mansion to the war office. The
old man was in pain, and the pale, sunk
en- cheeks and vague far-away stare in
his eyes betokened a short-lived exist
ence. He halted a moment, and then
slowly approached a tall gentleman who
was walking thoughtfully along. Good
morning, sir, I'm an old soldier, and
would like to ask your advice"
The gentleman turned. and, smiling
kindly, invited The poor old veteran to q
seat under a shady tree. There he lis
tened to the mans story of how he had
fought for the union. and was severely
wounded, in%capacitating him for other
work in life, and begged directions how
to apply for back pay due him and q
pension, offering his papers for examin.
alton.
The gentleman looked over the pa
pers, and then took out a card and wrote
directions on it, also a few words to the
pension bureau, desiring that speedy at.
tention be given to the applicant, and
handed 1t to him.
The old soldier looked at 1t, and, with
tears in his eyes, thanked the tall gen.
tleman, who, with a sad look, babe him
good luck and hurried up the walk
Slowly the soldier read the card again
and then turned it over to read the name
OF the More tears welled his
eyes when he knew who he had ad,

A tenderfoot farmer in Arizona en-
gagged a neighbor to pillow a field that
had been in alfalfa. On being engaged,
the neighbor set his price at $50. "You
see,' he explained, these alfalfa root
are terrible to pillow. 1t takes six horses
TO pull through The roots, two men TO
hole the pillow, and a boy to drive. It's
worth at least $50, but you being a
neighbor, I'll do it for $50" The native
was engaged, and later the tenderfoot
related to another neighbor that he had
struck a bargain in getting his blowing
done. Why" was the reply, that job
is not worth $40" But it takes six
horses" retorted the tenderfoo. Yes,
that's so-two to pull the pillow and four
to pull your leg"
