WRECK AT SEA.
Total Loss OF a Big Sailing Vessel on the
North Atlantic.

Halifax, N. s., Oct. 3.-The British
barkentine st. Peter arrived here to,
day, partially dismasted. She was struck
by a hurricane on the night OF Septem-
Der s and compelled 10 put about For
Halifax in order 10 repair the damage.
Capt. Skaling brings the startling re-
port that the storm through which his
vessel passed was the cause OF sending
ship. which must have carried a crew
Of at least As or SO men. The St. Peter
and the other vessel had been sailing
within sight Of each other all day on
the Sth, but never came within hailine
distance. The name Of one could not
be distinguished from the deck OF the
other. When evening closed the big
ship could be plainly seen from the deck
OF the st. Peter. Then the hurricane
swept the ocean,. and the crew of the St.
Peter had all they could do to keep thei.
vessel afloat.
When the st. Peter righted herself on
the 9th nothing was to be seen OF the
four-masted ship sighted the day before,
but shortly after the ~barkent!ne passed
he floating wreck OF a ships deck and
deckhouse, which the crew identified as
belonging to their sailing companion Of
the previous day.
The condition OF the ST. Peter render.
ed it impossible for the crew to make
an examination Of the wreckage in or.
der to learn the name Of the ship. but
Capt. Skaling is satisfied that the other
vessel went down with every soul on
board.
No small boats could have lived in
the water in such a hurricane.

In Minnesota a passenger purchased
a mileage ticket from the agent Of a

he mistake OF the agent, punched on

issued, instead OF a year later. The pas
singer signed a contrac: whereby he
agreed that the ticket should be void

his fare. and it was refused. Upon his
refusal to pay other fare he was eject
ed from the train by the conductor. It
Is held that on this state OF facts he
was entitled to recover damages from
the railroad company, and that, although
a passenger can not ordinary increase
the amount OF his recovery by refusing
20 leave the train, and thereby compel
ling the conductor t expel him by force.
he conductor should. under the cir

before ejecting him, and that by reason

Editor Morning News: I have noticed

gravel and doubtless these improvements
will give. Savannahians what they have
long wished for, namely, a good roadway
in the suburbs such improvements are
expensive, however. and for Taxpayers
to get their moneys worth out of them
should be reasonably permanent. To
make them enduring provision should be
made for draining them. and would sug-
gest that the line of drainage pipes put
down some years ago on east side of
Waters road. from Thunderbolt road to
Lovers lane be extended to Estill ave-
nue., and through the latter TO Lincoln
street, or Bull street Without proper
drainage the much appreciated improve
ment of the roadways mentioned will lot
last long or will require constant repairs.
