AN AWFUL EXPERIENCE.
Crew of Thomaston Schooner ss Days
without Wafer and Food.

New York, November IA batch OF
shipwrecked seamen, who had subsisted
for twenty three days on seaweed and raw
fish, were brought to this port yesterday
by the Ward line steamship Saratoga
They are Captain George @. Bsnner and
his six men of the schooner Jennie =.

from Jacksonville ON September 81,
bound for Martinique, met hurricane,

patient in the hospital.
The schooner struck the hurricane
September 80. After it had subsided the
the crew found their vessel hopeiessiy
waterlogged, their store of provisions in
accessible, SO deeply had she sank, the
water casks washed away. the boats gone,
no sail In sight and no apparent chance
| of rescue.
Urged or by hunger the crew took the
pins out of their clothing and made hooks
of them. They secured line by raveliing
piece of sail cloth, and after two days
| fishing they managed to hook small
| fish. This the captain ordered cut up into
equal parts and each man received an
equal sha re-. The fish was devoured at
once. For eleven days the captain
declares they were without food OF any
kind or drop of water to drink.
For 23 days the vessel drifted lifeless,
her men growing weaker and more dis
heartened as the days wore on. Two
small sharks were washed on board and
eagerIy devoured, and that meagre sup
DIV gone, the men we're reduced to eating
seaweed. and then at last the vessel was
washed on roef and a Spanish fishing
schooner took off the half perished crew.

nearly dead from starvation.

Chicago, November 7.-General Dodge,

er was stationed at Camp Thomas as chief
surgeon of the End division, third corps.
During the time he was there the sani-
tary condition in the hospital was not
very good. The sinks in the whole
division were bad, owing pricipally to the
character of the ground and the discipline
was rather lax.

there were practically no facilities for
the care of the sick, we were short OF
medicines and had no apparatus by which
the stewards could prepare the medicines
they had. The regimental hospitals. all

with medicines as the division hospitals =

ssTammany Hall, through the many
speakers it has sent before the public in
this campaign has given full utterance to
the merits and qualities of the various
candidates it has presented to the voters
for their suffrages The work has been
done properly and well. Every fact of
value to enlighten voters as to the quali-
fications of the two candidates for gov
ernor has been given fully. The question
now rests entirely with the voters them
selves.
II am fully confident of the election of
Justice Van Wyck, but If by any chance
the people elect Col. Roosevelt. / believe
it will be great step backward for this
metropolis. The issue is plain and simple
for the electors as to the merits OF the two
candidates Which of them would he the
better man to administer the affairs of this
great Empire states The duty Of each
citizen Is plainly apparent. One of the
candidates is erratic, unsteady ana
vacciIlatlng. The other is a sensible,
cautious and conservative man. He is a
man who can be thoroughly depended up
on to administer the affairs OF this great
Commonwealth in a safe and statesman
like manner.
"The election of Justice Van Wyck
means home rule, not only for New York
but for all the other cities of the state.
Home rule In turn means progress and
advancement for tho interest of every
community. In New York alone home
rule would bring about an advancement
in valuations Of property that could not
be estimated. it is with these issues that
the Democratic party goes to the polls.
The result rests with the people.
Mr.. Croker was asked about his senti-
ments regarding the personal attacks
which had been made upon him by Col.
Roosevelt in some of his speeches during
the campaign. Mr.. Croker replied:
'sCol. Roosevelt has simply lowered
himself by these personalities in which he
has indulged. =

day.
New York, Nov. THE last day be-
fore election marked wonderful change
in the betting on the gubernatorial race,
and the odds 10 to s on Van Wyck,
which had prevailed for several days,
began to wobble early in the morning
under a pressure of republican money
until by noon even money offered by
Col Roosevelt's supporters almost went
begging. In the afternoon the odds
switched over the republican candidate
and went to and in some instances to
was offered on his chances to win. A
good amount Of this money found takers
but there seemed to be surplus OF re-
publican money on the market and much
of it was uncared for.
The first attack on democratic odds
began In Wall street in the morning and
bets aggregating $4,000 were made in
an hours time most of it being at slight
odds on Van Wyck OF even money.
When, however, the republican roll
made it's appearance with Commission
layers at the Hoffman house and the
Fifth avenue hotel, tho democratic bet
ters demanded odds which were cheer
| fully given. u
About noon G. FL. Dewitt went into
| Wall street with S26, 900 which he offered
at to 10 ON Van Wyck. Some of it was
| taken but the names of the betters were
| not made public. One bet of 5000 to
$4. 500 in favor of Roosevelt is said to
have been made in Wall street and Wash
inpton Seligman laid $500 to $3.50 on
roosevelt and offered several thousands
at odds Of 10 to s on the republican can
didate without q taker.
Bell Il Co.. who have been placing a
number of bets in favor of the Democratic
candidate today, laid all the money they
had left. about $1,000, getting to 10 for
