The following new bills were intro
duced yesterday:
MIR. Connor-A bill to regulate the
sale of fertilizers and to determine the
value thereof. Mr.. Connor's idea is
an elaborate one. He proposes to re-
quire every farmer purchasing fertil.
izers to place a sample out OF each
grade in a bottle and place that in the
hands of the clerk of the court of his
county, to remain there until he
gathers his crop, when, if he should
have any reason to believe that the
fertilizer is not up to the limit he shall
send it to the chemist for a thorough
analysis. The result of this would
naturally be that whenever a bad
crop year came along the chemist
would be worked to death.
Mr.. Buist introduced a bill to place
street railways on footing with rail-
roads in regard to damages to persons
injured.
Senator Dennjs-A bill providing
for tha formation of Dorchester coun.
ty.
Senator Buist- st-Authorizing the State

A bill to provide for the election by
the qualified electors of the respective
townships in the State of the boards
of township commissioners. This pass
ed after Sumter, Berkeley, Edge6eld,
Laurens, Abbeville, Lexington, Will

WHILE THEY LOOKED
Mon and Women on Shore Saw q Ships
Crew Perish.

Crew Perish.
QUoaUE, L. l., Jan. 21.-The three
masted schooner Nahum Chapin,
Capt. Arey of Rockland, Maine, from
Baltimore for Boston with coal, was
lost within 300 yards of the shore at
this place early this morning and her
crew of nine men perished miserably
within sight of the hundreds of men
and women who could do nothing 10
help them.
The vessel went ashore here at 4
o'clock. For three hours she pounded
up higher and higher upon the hard
sandy beach. Then with crash she
went to pieces, and one by one the
nine sailors on her, who could be
plainly seen clinging to her rigging,
were engulfed with the wreckage and
died within hailing distance OF the
life savers on shore. 1t was raining
hard when the Chapin came ashore
The surf was unusually high and the
waves beat in upon the beach with
great fury. The storm was at its worst
when the wreck occurred. The villa
gers say that it was the worst storm
that part of Long Island has known
in years. The patrol from the life saw.
ing stations were on their beat when
the vessel struck and in a few mo-
ments at the most, the life saving
crew was on its way to the place. By
the time they reached the spot nearest
the vessel the alarm had reached the
village and dozens OF townfolks had
gathered to watch the work OF the
crew and to help if possible, too. The
crew of the vessel could be made out
clinging to her riging.
A rope was then fired from the NOR
tar. 1t struck the vessel, hung for a
second across her yards, but then it
slipped away and fell into the sea.
Then another rope was fired. This
time the rope landed safe and secure
in the rigging. The men on the YES
sci managed to secure it, but could not
make it fast to the vessel. This rope
was lost as was third that was sent
out a short time later. The men on
the vessel could catch the ropes but
they could not secure them to the
schooner.
The life savers and those on the
beach could make out moe persons in
the rigging. Six were clinging to the
foremost rigging and three men were
on the jibboom. Several attempts
were made to launch a boat, but the
sea was so terrific that it was nothing
but death to dare venture into such a
sea, and the boats could not pass the
first breaker. Finally the vessel be-
gan to sink and huge wave carried
one of the men off the jibboom and
later the others were swept away.
The six clinging to the rigging of
the foremast had been safe up to this
time, but them masts began to whirl
around and in a few minutes the miz-
zenmast came down with crash and
at the same moment a cry from the six
persons in the rigging OF the fore.
masts told those on the beach it was
all over. In few moments great
QUANTITIES OF wreckage began to come
ashore. At the last moment it was
seen that two of those who were cling
ing to the rigging of the foremast
were not men as had been supposed,
but that one was woman and the
other was a child.

in large basket and Miss Andrews was
requested to open them, each being a

After discussing the situation in all its
varied phases the jury IN the Case of the
People versus Jerome Gould, charged
with assault upon John Taub, became
convinced that there were some intrica-
cies in the case not plainly apparent.
Some were afraid that the county would
be injured by allowing such prize fight
ing propensities as were proved to be-
long to the accuser to go at large.
Another part believed the county needed
such men abroad to protect their INTEL
ests. And so they disagreed until II
last night when sleepiness began to get in
its work on the obdurate avengers of the
law of the land and averdict of acquittal
was returned. Mr.. Gould states that he
is 81 years old and has never been in
court before and hopes never to be in
court again. But he admits that there's
no telling. And thus over trivial argu-
ment long and tedious case is made,
and Jones-he pays the fiddler.

The free social entertainment OF Unit.
ed Moderns in Masonic temple last
evening was well attended and proved a
very interesting affair. The object of
course, was to place before the people
the objects and advantages of the frater-
nifty and this was done in an exhaustive
address by E. M. Johnson of Denver.
The scheme of the Moderns is claimed
to be the most progressive and advanced
that has yet come to notice. The man
agement seem to have prohted by the
experience of fraternal associations of
the past by avoiding all the elements of
weakness usual in organizations of this
character. Since March goth 80 branches
have been instituted with membership
of nearly 1900.

A Rare. Faced Fad.

The fashion Of the smooth face con.
tinues to increase in popularity, and
mustaches tare daily sacrificed to fad
which is mot so well adapted to every
man as great oany men evidently
think. The style came from England.
It became.so much the proper thing in
England for men to'appear without hair
on their faces that it was finally found
necessary to forbidithe practice in the
army, as the loss Of whiskers was
spreading,so rapidly that there prom
ised to be beardless army in short
while. Unbecoming styles of dress are
unquestionably accepted when they are
the mode. But,it was usually thought
that the selection of a mustache or a
smooth face was founded on deeper
consideration of what made a man look
well or the reverse. But that discrimi-
nation has been swept away now by the
enthusiasm with which the unshaved
lip has been declaimed as the right
style.-San Francisco A1gonaut.

The Original Color of Flowers.

Some scientific papers have endeavor-
ed to show that in the early ages all
flowers We're yellow, and the various
colors we now have have simply follow
ed the introduction of insects-that
flowers have, in other words, been
made beautiful in order to render them
attractive to insects, to encourage their
visits, SO that the cross fertilization of
the flowers might be better effected. AS
morphology teaches us that the petals
of flowers are nothing but modified
leaves, says writer in Meehan' S
Monthly, we might imagine that the
earlier attempts at inforescence would
be green and not yellow.

A Happy Meeting.

A most touching scene was witnessed
IN the streets Of Paris recently. A little
girl of about 3 years of age was rolling
her hoop. The hoop rolled up against a
gentleman sitting on bench, and the
child. gong up to him to get it, looked
at him involuntarily and suddenly cried
out. "Oh, if there isn't the gentleman
of mamma s miniature''
This exclamation Of course attracted
the attention of passersby and of young
woman, who Immediately came up to
the child, and, giving a glance at the
gentleman, tainted away. He appeared
stupefied and stared from the child to
her mother as if he Were losing his
senses. but when he say the latter uncon-
scious Oh the ground he caught her up,
clasped her i'll his arms and covered her
with kisses. She soon regained her
senses and fell weeping Oh the gentle
mans bosom. An officer, coming up,
led them of, with the little girl, and,
calling carriage, put them in. but the
bystanders had already learned their
history from their different exclama-
tons
Five years before, they were married,
with every prospect of happiness before
them, but the husband, being young,
was led astray by dissipated associates
and becoming jealous Of his wife treated
her so unkindly that she finally left him
and took a humble lodging in differ
ent quarter of the city, where she soon
after gave birth to a little daughter and
since that time had supported herself
and child by her needle. The husband
had sought his wife in vain and had at
last come to the sad conclusion that she
had put an end to her existence This
thought had such an effect upon his
mind rs to cure him not only Of his
Jealousy, but of his vices, and he had
since been living a most exemplary life,
consecrating all his thoughts to the
memory of his lost wife. New York
