|EVS OF NEW CASTLE.
SCHOONER COTTINGHAM LOST.


VESSEL VALUED AT $4,000 WILL
BE GIVEN OVER TO WRECK
ERS.
1t is understood in New Castle that
the schooner Emma L. Cottingham,
which blew ashore at Reybold's beacn,
below this town, during Monday S
storm, after dragging her anchor for
nearly 200 yards, Will be abandoned to
the wreckers to-day as a total loss.
The vessel, it will be remembered,
stranded on one of the highest tides
known in recent years and, now that
the tide has receded to normal, She is
so high and dry that she can only be
floated by digging to her.
The final effort was made to float heI
yesterday, when a long hawser, fouI
inches in diameter, was attached to hel
from a tugboat we'll out in the stream
With a bang and swish the hawsel
parted, shaking up both boats.
It was then decided to abandon the
vessel, and the crew was ordered off
except the steward who will remaiI
aboard until the masts, rigging, sail!
and movable appliances are gotten off
The Cottingham was worth S17,0 900 anC
was insured for about $4,000, withou
cargo.

A Point OF coInmerciaI Law.

The British court of appeal. the high
est court in the kingdom except the
house of lords, has ordered a decision on
a point of commercial law that will be
authority in this country. The ques-
ton was one where a firm of bankers
had mailed n customer a draft fof 1900.
II was stolen from the mails by n
swindler. who forged the Endorsement,
deposited it in bank to his own credit,
drew $4,000 on account, and decamped.
The question was whether the loss
should fall on the bank as remitter or
on the customer as receiver. The low
er court and a higher one both held that
the loss was that of the person 10
whom the check was sent; but the court
of appeal, with the lord chief justice
presiding. reversed the. previous de-
cisions. and held that as the check failed
to reach the person for whom it was in
tended there was no payment, and
therefore the loss fell on the bank

The oldest building in the world that

peared inside the building, to the alarm

beat hasty retreat. One person was
severely stung, and several had narrow

HEROIC COWS.
Defend Their Young Against Hungry
Coyotes.


Defend Their Young Against Hungry
Coyotes.
Almost any female bird or animal will
attack another animal, or even a man, in
defense of its young. A mother part
ridge has been known TO fly in a mans
face in order to blind his eyes long
enough for her young to hide them
selves. AS for the COW, sheis capable of
facing whole pack of wolves in de-
fense of her calf-if the calf is young
enough. If it has approached the wean-
ing period, she will very likely abandon
II TO an enemy and take to her own
heels.
The editor Of the Condor (Oregon)
Globe saw n deed of COW valor lately
that was worth recording as well as see
ing. A herd of cattle, and among them
two COWS accompanied by their calves.
we're grazing in tall dead grass when
the calves became separated a little
from the rest of the herd.
just then two huge, hungry coyotes
frept up through the grass, cut of the
calves from the rest of the cattle, and
started in pursuit Of them. After run
ming about 200 yards, the calves came TO
high. five-wired barbed-wire fence,
and being small, managed to get
through it. On the other side Of the
fence was an open pasture.
The wolves quickly followed the
calves through the fence, and were rap
idly running them down on the other
side, when the two COW mothers discov-
cred what was going on. Each uttered
loud below, hoisted her tail, and
started for the rescue.
IL appeared 10 be q hopeless chase,
for the wire fence intervened, and the
COWS were certainly much too large to
get through it. They lSnewwell enough
that it was there, and could, beside, see
it plainly, but both COWS plunged to-
gether straight into it.
The watching editor, Mortified, looked
10 see them hurled back. frightfully
wounded; but instead one of the posts
gave way under the onslaught; the
wires sank down, and in another mo-
ment the mothers were on the pasture
side of the fence, badly cut and bleed

successfully and put them to fight.

cued calves affectionately. and the coy
