THE LATE STORM

Advices from Boston say the steam
ship Fairfax, of the Merchants and
Miners Line, is ashore on Sow and Pigs
reef, and is likely to be a total loss.
The passengers and crew are safe.
Further intelligence shows that a
hundred or more lives were lost in the
wrecks that strew the New England
coast. In and near Boston hsrbor
thirty-6ve vessels of all sizes and class
es are ashore or sunk. Nearly forty
men on these vessels persisted. TWEEN.
ty.one schooners and q barkentine are
ashore at Vineyard Haven. One of the
worst disasters was that to the two
barges, Nos. 1 and 4, of the Consolidat-
ed Coal Company, referred to yester-
day, in which the entire crews were
lost.
The managers of the Boston and
Portland Steamship Company state
that every barbor between Boston and
Portland has bsen heard from, and in
no case had the s,eamer Portland
been seen. The only remaining har-
Dor which she could have reached is
Provincetown, on Cape Cod, aud news
from that port is anxiously awaited, as
it is still impossible to reach that port
by telegraph.
The big Wilson Liner Ohio still
stands bold and erect on hard gravel
bottom in water which, at food tide
yesterday morning, hardly came to the
level of the propeller shaft. She is
firmly aground, and her predicament is
serious one. The tide in which she
went ashore was fourteen feet above
the usual food line. With her power

eral powerful tugs straining at haw-
sers oyer her stern at flood tide yes
terday, there was no tremor of the
vessel toward open water.

SLAYToN a CIGARETTE FIEND.-The
exploits at New Haven, Conn.,, of
Frank N. Slayton in palming himself
off as the nephew of Fltzhugh Lee, have
called the attention of the police au-
thorties of Richmond to the young
mans life in that city. Slayton is the
nephew of the wife OF General Bradley,
I. Johnson and spent some time in
Richmond.
In June, 1892, he was tried for for
gerry, but pleaded insanity on his ,rlal
and was sent to the insane hospital at
Williamsburg. Siayton's friends, in
making their defense of him, said that
the young man had been insane by the
excessive use of cigarettes.
At the time of the escapade which
terminated in his trial for forgery Stay
ton was nineteen years old and was at
tending the Trinity Training School.
He left there for pleasure tour south.
His places of interest included Bslti.
more, Washington, Richmond and
other places. In order to obtain money
the young man forged lthe name Of
Capt. Louis F. Bossieux to several
checks and had them cashed. Soon
these checks came pouring upon Capt
Boussieux, who, out of consideration
for the farily, gave no publicity to the
matter. The police, however, got wind
of the irregularities and caused the ar
rest of Slayton. He went to the lunat'c
asylum, where he spent about two
years. He was released upon giving a
bond, which has never been Cancelled.
After his discharge from that institu-
tion the Richmond people lost sight of
him until the young mans exploits in
New Haven. Slayton comes of a most
excellent family. His grandfather on
his maternal side was judge of prom
inence in North Carolina.
