Southport, Conn. Jan. 6.-Whot
appeared to be sorious fire at sea was
discovered by citizens of Southport
early to day.
About one mile off shore vessel was
burning fiercely. and in about half an
hour II was apparent that the boat
would probably be burned to the
waters edge.
At daylight the weather began to
thicken,. and the burning vessel soon
drifted from view.
IL lie impossible to tell the character
OF the vessel, but from the volume of
flames it is believed she was either
three masted schooner or sound
steamer.
A tug has put out toward the scene,
from point west OF Southport.
South Norwalk, Conn, Jan. g.
The three masted schooner M. Il. Bon
nell. whose hailing port, destination

morning, when she was discovered off
Copp Island, one OF the Norwalk group
OF islands, about four miles off shore.
The steamer Medea, Capt. Haviland
Rowland, and the steamer j. Howard
Lowndee, Capt. Lowndes OF this city,
put out to the burning wreck early

the wreck first, The vessel had been
abandoned, and there is not tho

Her min and mizzen masts are gone,

Accusations.
Special oorresoondencr OF oszetie and Journal
Dover, Jan. 6.--Tha Kent county
Republicans ale by no means pleased
with the condition of affairs in their
own ranks, in fact The Union Republi-
cans openly charge treachery.
After the Adjournment of the General
Assembly yesterday afternoon Senators
Robert j. Handy and q. Fisher Pierce,
j.. Frank Alice and several other
prominent party men held a conference
in the State House parlor for the pur-
pose of formulating some plans or at
least having an understanding among
themselves.
Messrs. Handy and Alice took
occasion to pay their respects to Sena-
tor Pierce. Mr.. Handy openly accused
him of treachery and double dealing,
while Mr.. Alice spoke on the same
line. To say that Messrs Handy and
Alice were mad all over is putting IL
mildly. Tho Republicans had expected
to organize the Senate and at the con-
ference claimed that they could have
done so had Senators Pierce and j. NJ.
@. Moore acted differently. Mr.. Moore
did not attend the conference and Mr..
Pierce got the full benefit of the un-
complimentary remarks. lie spoke In
defence Of the accusations made
against him, but at the conclusion of
the conference the Union Republicans
were in rage.
The feeling against Mr.. Pierce
among the followers OF Addicks has
vented itself in various ways, although
his friends claim that he violated no
obligation Or promise.
An attempt WAS made during the
afternoon to burn him in effigy, and
had il not been for tho Intervention of
Sheriff Shaw there would have been
trouble.
Four young Union Republicans who
had heard and believed the widest
kind of stories about Mr.. Pierce started
out from the Hotel Richardson for the
purpose of procuring dummy" with
which to carry out their intention, but
they were intercepted on Loockerman
street by the sheriff, who told them
that il they attempted to carry out their
purpose he would he compelled to act.
He finally induced them to give up
their wild notion, and trouble was
avoided

x-ray photograph was taken had been
penciled. He said the pencil marks
were not on the plate when be fret saw
it at the previous trial.
DR.. Blncksom thought the woman
was imprudent In not calling In a
pbyeician immediately aftor the

The damage case was resumed yester-
day morning, and DR.. II. j. Stubbs
and DR.. II. W. Briggs testified. They
considered Mrs. Ewing imprudent in
not callinga doctor Immediately after
the accident occurred. They were fol-
lowed by DIR. Frank Roop Smith, who
explained the X-ray photographs and
who had plate taken yesterday Of
q foot OF an inmate at the almshouse
The Court would not allow IL to be
used 10 evidence, however, and it was
laid to one side. The doctor was put
under vigorous CROSS examination
by Mr.. Hilfes. After hearing his testi-
mony the defence rested. Juror Crosse
asked the Court to excuse him that he
might attend the funeral OF relative.
Court thereupon discharged the jury
until 10 o'clock this morning.
Counsel banded UP their pleas in the
case and court was about TO adjourn,
when W. s.. Hilles came In from the
rear corridor and informed the court
that he had seen one of the Jurors
examining the plate which had been
ruled out of evidence by the court.
DR.. Smith explained to the court that
he was not aware that the man was a
Juror, and that he had only shown the
plate on being asked to do so
Judge Cullen, however, said that he
had committed grave offence and the
court intended to stop this practice, of
which frequent complaints were made.
IL Mr.. Hilles would bring the matter
properly before the court he would see
that the guilty parties we're punished.
Mr., Hilles said he would consider the
matter.
