RESCUED FROM THE WAVES.
Crews of Two SchOOners Saved by the
Steamer RelGenIand.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 16.-The closing
portion of the voyage of the steamship Bel
genland, which arrived to-day from Liver
pool, was eventful and interesting to those
on board On Sunday morning the water
logged and sailless schooner Willie L. Max
well was sighted and she was taken in tow,
to the great relief of her crew of ten men,
the vessel having become helpless. On Mon
day morning small boat was sighted, drift
ing helplessly with five men aboard When
the men were taken on board the steamship
il was found that they were the crew of the
abandoned schooner Theodore Dean. Capt.
James f. Hodgson, of the Dean, had been
washed from the small boat and lost. Capt.
Hodgson resided at Somerville, Mass, and
leaves a widow, two daughters and a son.
The Theodore Dean left South Amboy on
Friday last for Norfolk with cargo of coal.
When off Absecon light she lost her main
sail, and on Saturday at noon, when forty
five miles east northeast of Barnegat, she
sprung a leak, plank having been torn
from her side The vessel filled rapidly,
and with four feet of water in her hold, the
captain, at $50 D. sm., ordered the small boat
lowered, and the crew, six men all told,
left the ship. An hour later the vessel was
seen to sink. There was heavy sea and
n tremendous gale, and the small boat was
kept to rights with great difficulty. At $50
O'Clock the boat~waS raised almost on end
and Captain HodgSOn was swept overheard.
The oars were also lost, and those in the
boat were left helpless. The boat drifted
from that time until o'clock Monday morn
ing when it was sighted by the Belgenland
and the men rescued from their perilous
situation.

Assistant Secretary w. X. Day and Gov

for the return of a naturalized citizen to
this country who became insane while

August Larson, of LorentSson, with his
family, left Chicago in September of this
year to visit relatives in Sweden. Shortly
after his arrival in his native country he
became deranged, and, being without
means. became dependent on the authori-
ties of Norway and Sweden. He took out
his first naturalization papers in August,
1886, and had been citizen Just year.
Diplomatic correspondence was opened
seeking to secure the return of Larson at
the expense of the country from which he
came. The home government wrote it's rep
resentative at Washington The latter
wrote Secretary of State Sherman. He
turned the matter over to Assistant Sec

to Governor Tanner asking him TO take ac-

JOKE ON CARL SEIZURE.
Embarrassing Position in which He
Was Placed by Eugene Field.
New York Sun

Carl Schurz's appearance as Citizens
Union orator recalled to a friend of the
late Eugene Field an experience that Mr..
Schurz had in campaigning dozen years
ago or more Mr.. SchurZ was making
speeches in the West for the Republican
party at that time, and Eugene Field was
detailed by the Chicago paper with which
he was connected to accompany Mr.. Schurz
on the spel-binding expedition and send
dispatches to his paper describing it. When
Mr.. SchurZ reached a small town in Mtchl-
gan half an hour before the time set for
the meeting no committee met him at the
train. Mr. Schurz and Mr.. Field found their
way to the hall where a motley crowd had
collected to hear the speaker. Everything
was perfectly regular about the meeting
except that no one had been selected to
introduce the speaker Mr.. Schurz and Mr..
Field walked up on the platform and were
greeted with a loud cheer. Mr.. Schurz didn't
intend to lose an opportunity to speak sim
ply because there was no one to Introduce
him. Turning TO Mr.. Field he said:
Field, it's getting late and I'm anxious
to go ahead. No one knows you here, so
just get up and introduce me. You needn't
say much of anything. Just tell them that
l am Mr.. Schurz and that I'm going to talk
to them"
Mr.. Field unrolled himself to his full
height, and, ambling to the front of the
platform said in a very husky voice:
Ladies und shentlemens, 1 regret dot
hat such a sore throat dot cannot address
dis evenings. | am very sorry alretty for
dis disappointment. Howefer. am more
dan pleased to tell you dot l hat with me
my young journalistic frendt, Eugene rfeid
of Chicago, und he will now speak to you
about steel rails
When Field began this introduction Mr.
Schurz's expression was puzzled, and when
he concluded it the speaker of the evening
looked angry. Despite Mr.. SchurZS prelim-
mary explanation that he was really Mr.
Schilrz the people who heard him on that
occasion have been divided in opinion as
TO whether the speaker was Scnurz Or rielu.

scheme at Huntington.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
HUNTINGTON, Ind, Nov. 16.-Every in
dication is that Huntington county will be
among the first to secure the location of a
sugar-beet factory in Indiana. For some
weeks the matter has been quietly consid-
cred here Experts from Nebraska have
visited the city and the different parts of
the county in the interest Of a syndicate of
Chicago capitalists and have made a re-
port which practically assures the factory.
Some two hundred farmers were supplied
with the seed for raising sugar beets last
spring, and from twelve to fifteen beet sam
pies have been anaylzed from different por-
OF soil, with an invariable test Of from II
to Is $40 sugar. These facts have been
placed before q Chicago syndicate, and it's
representatives are so well satisfied they
have organized a company, to be known as
the Huntington Sugar-beet Company, under
the laws OF Illinois, to establish the bust
ness here. The capital stock is $350.0O0
$l5OOO0 OF which it is expected will be sub
scrlDed by farmers and citizens here. OPP
ton is given whether the capital stock sub
scribed here be paid in beets a. "a a ton or
IN money.
T. +. WEIGH, attorney for the Chicago
people, arrived to-day, and the work of or
ganlzing committees, soliciting stock, con-
tracing for the cultivation OF beets will be
started at once. If The enterprise is real
fzed it IS expected that the factory will be
in operation by the LIST of next September.

A cow STORY.
Exciting Adventure and Sad Fate of
the Animal.
Philadelphia Press.

Philadelphia Press.
One of the passengers who arrived here
on Wednesday on the first train from At
lantic City since the storm and Hood told q
remarkable story as to the condition OF at
fairs at Peters Beach. He prefaced his mar
rative with the narrowing announcement
that Smiths cow was dead. Everybody
knew Smiths COW. Here is the story as
it was told: Peters Beach, you know, is
a marshy island opposite the inlet, which is
practically overlooked at high tide; Tnere
Charles Smith is the proprietor. 1t is not
hosiery in the sense that 1t takes board
ers, being merely sort of halfway house
for fishermen or sailing parties who run out
of a certain kind of bait. To make sure OF
having a fresh supply of milk always on
hand Smith purchased COW. The only
even this the COW had to wade up to her
neck in salt water most of the Time Inc
result was that she stopped giving milk,
but became an expert swimmer. Once she
came back to the house with some sott-shell
crabs impaled on her horns Smith then
filed her horns sharp and she kept the laruer
supplied with crabs after that.
when the flood came on Sunday and
submerged Peters Beach Mr.. Smith to save
the cow, brought her into the oarrooIn OF
the hotel AS the angry waters rose above
the first floor Mr.. Smith and his wife moved
UP to the parlor, on the second floor, and
the cow went with them. TO prevent the
animal from breaking ornaments and fur-
niture they tied her by the horns to leg
of the piano. For two days there was much
fear and anxiety lest the whole building
should be washed away. The COW seemed
to become weary and melancholy from gaz-
ing out upon the interminable waste OF
waters. To relieve the tedium, towards
evening of the second day. Mrs. Smith sat
down to play on the piano. and struck up
"A Life on the Ocean Wave" The COW
gazed at the performer with sorrowful
expression, uttered a moo of soulful
mournfulness, then wrenched herself loose
and sprang through the window into the
flashing waves. 1t was clear case of sui
eide, and the dead body was washed ashore
on the beach, Those who have heard the
piano do not consider that there was any
thing remarkable in the action of the COW,
especially as Mrs. Smith had forgot to put
on boxing gloves when she sat down to
Dlay."
