ALL on BOARD persisted.
Schooner L. V. Beebe WrecIxed-Light
ship Towed Into Port.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 1.-The latest re-
port Of the disasters on the New England
coast was contained in private dispatch
received here to-day from Boston, saying
that the schooner L. V. Beebe, from Phila-
delphia, Nov. H. for Boston, with 1,062 tons
Of coal, has been wrecked on Black rock,
near Cohasset. Mass, and that all hands
eight in number, perished. This vessel and
cargo We're valued, perhaps. at $4,000 She
was commanded by Captain Daniels, whose
son was mate. The Beebe carried a cargo
of coal for the FItchburg Railroad Com
pany. Captain Daniels was from Maiden,
Mass. The crew was composed of Harry
ATnott, w. w. Phillips, Edward Wadman
and Lewis L. Waller. These shipped from
this port. In addition there was a cook and
engineer, who shipped from Boston. The
schooner was named after it's owner, whose
home is at Orient, l.. J.
The Pollock Rip lightship, which was
wTenched from its position at the eastern
entrance to Nantucket sound by force of
the storm, and which believed to have
been lost, with all on board is safe. 1t was
land Tuesday 269 miles east northeast Of
Cape Henlopen, and towed into the Della
ware capes to-day. The task of picking up
the helpless ship was one attended by great
danger, and the Switzerland lost her moor
ings ana sixty fathoms of chain in doing so.
The lghtship, which had drifted sixty miles
from It's position, was anchored safely to
the breakwater, and the Switzerland con-
tinued on her voyage to this port.

Costly Pleasure Yachts and CONNER
ciaI Craft Wrecked.
NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-Port Jefferson, L.
T., has just emerged from the snow en-
barge. The story of the havoc done in Port
Jefferson bay by the storm came with the
first train. Wrecks of pleasure yachts and
commercial craft are strewn about the
shores or lie on the bottom. During the
height Of the storm the fishing schooner
Hard Chance attempted to make the har-
Dor, but was driven on the rocks at Old
Field Point, where she lies broken in two.
1t was impossible to aid the vessel and her
crew Of four men perished. The body of her
captain was found in the hold Of the schoon-
er. Early in the gale the beautiful steam
yacht Halcyon, owned by Commodore
Smith, of the Stamford Yacht Club, was
crashed into the stern of the schooner Mary
e. Cuff. The steamers port side was
crushed in She sank at the dock.
The steam yacht Rival dragged her an
chorS across the end Of BayleS dock, carry
ing away her stern. She drifted on the
beach, where the heavy sea soon demolished
her deckhouses and stove in her matches.
sank at her anchorage The schooner
yachts Carlotta, Wayward, Comanche ana
Neara dragged their anchors and went
ashore The Neara lost all her spars. The
schooner Olive Leaf was driven against
Darling's dock and lies there a complete
wreck All of the sloops and cat boats
housed in the basin were ground into kind
ling wood. The damage to shipping in Port
Jefferson bay is estimated at more than
500 600.

WORK OF LIFE SAVERS.
Heroic Attempts to Rescue the Crews
of Two Vessels.


VINEYARD HAVEN, Dec. 1.-About 9:30
o'clock Sunday morning, in the fiercest of
the Storm the Gayhead life-saving patrol
saw the flash of torch in the direction of
Dogish bar AS quickly as possible Cap
tain Hayman mustered his crew, and in a
few minutes lifeboat and all the apparatus
necessary, drawn by yoke of oxen, was on
it's way to the nearest point to the bar,
which was two and a half miles from the
station. 1t was IL o'clock before the men
reached the position they sought. They were
too late When they came to the beach
wreckage from a vessel was coming ashore,
giving evidence that she had gone to pieces.
A fragment showed the vessel to have been
the Clara Leavitt. Later clinging to a
broken plank, a man was driven in and
rescued from the waves. He was carried
to the station.
While the life savers were peering into the
storm in an effort to discover another pos
sible survivor, another signal torch was seen
from q vessel which was at that moment al
most upon the bar. The next instant she
struck. but went on in a position a little
less exposed to the fury of the waves, and
she did not so to pieces. An attempt was
made to launch the Hfeboat, but it was
swept back like chip. 1t was then decided
TO try shooting a line to the wreck but this
first appearance of dawn the gun carriage
was drawn up for service. Seven men
could be seen clinging to the rigging of the
vessel. The line was shot toward the
schooner, but it fell short. The attempt
was twelve times repeated, without success.
Meanwhile the wind had shifted more to
the northerly, and was colder aad the snow
had turned to hail Spurred by the sight
of the men in the rigging, and the ncreas-
ing severity of the storm, another trial of
the surfboat was made. The craft was
tossed back on the beach. Seven times the
boat was launched, and the most persistent
efforts of the crew TO breast the waves was
of no avail On the eighth trial. however,
success came. and under the tremendous
strokes of the men the boat was driven from
wave TO wave till she reached the vessel.
One seaman had perished but the captain,
mate and four sailors, who were barely alive,
were rescued and taken TO the station The
vessel was the Amelia G. Ireland. When
the messenger who brought the story of the
wrecks and rescue left Gayhead the ship
wrecked men were all in a serious condition
from exposure. Several of the members of
the lfe-saving crew We're more or less in
Jured while engaged in their attempt at
rescue.
The Clara Leavitt was a three-master Of
3g7.S S. tons. 1T feet long, and was built at
Cape Elizabeth, Me, in 1877.
The Amelia @. Ireland was also a three
master. She was owned by the Tldewater
Oil Company. of New York, and was bound
from Bayonne, II. j.. 10 Boston with cargo
OF oil IN tanks. She was OF zl0a net tons,

Contracts for over 100000 Tons Prac-
ticaIIy Closed by Manufacturers.

CLEVELAND. Dec. 1.-The Iron Trade
Review says Excepting the memorable
break in the rail pool in February of last
year, no such tonnage Of steel rail sales has
been closed in a single week as that just
booked by the manufacturers. 1t includes
5000 tons to the Illinois Central, 5,000 tons
to the Chicago & Northwestern, 900 tons
to the ST. Paul, $4,000 tons TO the Burlington
and large orders to Eastern and central
systems. What has been booked and what
is practically closed amounts to more than
503O 600 tons, Of which the bulk has been
taken by Chicago and Pittsburg. The fall
ure of the rail manufacturers to agree upon
the selling company scheme was followed
by a conference Of the Carnegie Steel Com
pany. the Illinois Steel Company and the
Colorado Fuel and Iron Company, as re-
ported last week An arrangement resulted
which promises to have better holding pow
ers than the gentlemen's agreement In force
previous to September. The prices fixed are

BROOKE TO BE EXAMINED.
War Investigators Hope the General
Will Return from Porto Rico.

WASHINGTON, Dec. IA majority Of
the war investigating commission arrived
here to-day after visit to New York and
Boston. Ex-Governor Woodbury. and DR..
Connor were left to conclude the work in
Boston. and they are not expected to rejoin
their associates before Saturday. The COM
mission will resume its sittings here to-
morrow. Several witnesses are still to be
examined among them being some the COM
mission had expected to see while North.
The commissioners are anxious to secure a
statement from General Brooke covering his
connection with the Chickamauga Park, and
they are hopeful that he will return to this
country to testify. The returning members
report that it was very difficult to secure
witnesses in either New York or Boston,
the persons summoned generally manifest
ing disposition not to press charges.

Edward II. Bradford, of Boston, who su-
perintended the landing of troops brought
to Boston by the vessels of the Volunteer
Aid Association, was questioned about the
case of Lieutenant Tiffany. 1t appeared, in
the doctors opinion, that had Lieutenant
Tiffany been sent 10 a hospital instead OF
being given in care of his friends, his life
might have been saved. Being an officer
and on furlough when he reached Boston,
Lieutenant Tiffany was not subject to or

$4,000 would be potent against the com
bined wealth Of the colleges of the four
recognized schools of medicine! DIR. Swain
seemingly lays stress upon the few months
of study required by students OF osteopathy
ory medical colleges were wont 10 gradu-
ate physicians i'm two years of six months
each lengthening the course later to three
years of six months each, and still later 10
four years of six months each. As the case
now stands, the osteopaJhs study, accord
ing to DIR. Swain twenty months, and the
students of medicine study twenty-four

four months Of study that the one exceeds
the other that makes the difference between
the quack and the duly and truly prepared.
