FERREE-At the Bank Hotel, St. Fran
cisvil!e, La, Saturday morning, July II,
1887, Jas. L. Fcrree aged 80 yrs, mos.
and 13 days, native of Maryland, and
a resident of St. Francisville for the past
Is years.
The deceased was the beloved fathcr Of
Mrs.F. M.Davidson the proprietress of the
Bank Hotel, and with her he made his
home, peacefully passing the DAYS of his
old age, solaced by her affection and
tenderly cared for by her tinceasing devo-
tion.
Tho end came unexpectedly. The day
previous he seemed quito we'll and busted
himself with all the littlo occupations
that amused hls age, reading the paper
until hightfalf. He retired to rest as
usual, ana made 10 complaint during the
night, but in the morning was found dead
lying peacefully ais if asleep. DR.. Taylor
the coroner, viewed tho body, and pro
nouncctl that death from heart failure
had taken place some hours before, withou
a struggle. He had gone off like a tired
child who falls asleep with pleasan
dreams.
We extend sympathy to the bereavei
fa1hily and would remind them in thei
natural grief over tbs inevitable parting
that his death was painless, and the en-
came as sleep that had its joyful wax
Ing in the bright }tghz of eternal day.

Horrors of q ShiDwreck.

st. Johns, N. F., April 2S.-Anxiety
is felt at st. Pierre as to the condition
or the four survivors of the wrecked
French brigantine Valiant, which
struck an iceberg on the Grand banks
on the night Of April 14th and founder
ed almost Immediately. Three of them
are in a comatose condition and it is
feared that n will not live through
the night.
Their physical and mental suffer-
ings are terrible. 1t was found neces-
sary to amputate the arms and feet of
three, their ears n noses were badly
frozen and the flesh presents a CHASTITY
and leprous like appearance. AS if this
were not Wr~etchedness enough, their
reason Is temporarily, if not perma-
nently, gone. AS they lay in their cots
they rave in distracted recollection of
their awful experience.
1t is scarcely possibly to get any
definite notion Of the incidents Of the
disaster, but it seems from what can
be snatched from their incoherent cries
and rawlings that four dOries were over
turned at the moment of the wreck.
Two of the men on board the rescued
dory were taken from the water almost
drowned. They were the first two to
perish. The third who died was a
young fellow about IS years of age. He
made a stubborn fight for life.
-Four boats are known to have got
safely away from the ship, but the
captains boat was the only one after
wards seen by the occupants of the
rescued dOry. The intense cold made
it impossible for them to do anything
in the way of navigating the dory and
they were compelled to drift help
lessly.
The most horrifying incident of the
experience was the cannibalism to
which they were driven by the resist
less pangs of hunger. The dead body
which they used for food was frozen so
stiff that they were scarcely able to
hack off the flesh with their knives.
For two days the life Of the survivors
was sustained in this way.
Everything hat is possible is being
done to find the missing boats if it
should have been their good fortune
to have survived. Outgoing vessels
will make a close search of the waters
north and south Of st. Johns, but there
is little hopes of further rescues.

A special dispatch to The Messenger
from Raleigh last night says:
"Chief Justice Faircloth says the su-
preme court will adjourn on next Sat
urday for this term. 1t will file the
last opinions on next Friday. 1t Will
not hear the Wilmington mayoralty
case his term, owing to Mr.. Ricaud's
statement that his side IS not ready
We learn that, though at first some
of them not consenting, all the law
yers did consent to take the case up
next week and argue ii, If the court
would hear it. This being so, there
should be made an immediate effort by
the authorities Of this city, the bust
ness men, and the commercial bodies,
to induce the supreme court to act in
the matter at once. We understand
thai there is no limit as to the term of
the court, so hat the hearing Of the
case would be in it's discretion. Sec
ton GIG Of The Code provides that in
cases of this character the court shall
expedite their hearing and settlement.
In view of this, upon a disinterested
presentation of the Importance of an
immediate settlement of this question
to the city, no DOUBT the court will re-
consider and hear it.
The importance Of an immediate de-
termination to us cannot be Overesti-
mated. In July the city, as usual, will
have to borrow some $780, 900 to pay in
terest on it's debt. The present board
Of aldermen with a doubt as to it's title
to office. will be unable to do SO and
then our credit goes to the wall by de-
fault in the payment Of the interest on
our bonded Indebtedness. 1t is the
have to be made in the various de-
partments for lighting the city, and
other matters, and doubt now hangs
over these. If not settled, further in
dividual suits will be instituted against
the minor officials, and Generalization
will result. All this means trouble, en-
barrassment and serious injury to the
public interest. In view of this, and
the section quoted, We bell We, if the
proper effort is made by an appeal to-
day by telegram to the court, say from
the board of audit, the several mayors
the presidents of the commercial bodies
and leading business men, we may yet
have this matter settled. Will these
gentlemen not act? The Messenger
feels that it does it's duty to thus call
attention to the matter.
