DENSE FOGS PREVAIL.
SHIPPING IN THE RIVER AND BAY
lMPEDED.
RAIN AND HAILSTORd, ACCOM-
PANIED BY THUNDER AND
LIGHTNING, OCCURRED HERE
THIS MORNING-HIGH TIDES IN
THE CHRISTIANA.

THIS MORNING-EIGH TIDES IN
THE CHRISTIANA.
A fog so dense as to make it impos-
sible to see with any degree of accuracy
an object thirty feet distant hung over
the Delaware bay and river yesterday,
and brought navigation practically TO
a standstill
At the Delaware Breakwater the fog
was so dense that at a distance of 100
yards the largest objects we're inVisi-
bic. From the observatory station alb
solutely nothing could be seen, and as
the wind had slackened to such an ex-
tent as to cause a calm, the fog last
night Instead of giving any indications
Of raising, rather showed signs Of be-
coming heavier
A peculiarly disagreeable and dam
gerous sea has arisen, as a result Of the
steady gale that has been blowing for
three days, and vessels scheduled to
leave the Breakwater Saturday and
yesterday refrained from so doing
rather than take the chances.
The Delaware river yesterday pre-
scented a strange appearance. The water
had risen TO such a height that. at
and did considerable damage %
wharves.
The North American Wrecking Com
paIy's tug North American left the
Breakwater in the afternoon in search
cf the schooner John johnson, which
was abandoned while anchored off
Ship Bottom on Saturday night. The
schooner behaved so badly in the
storm, being tossed about like a child's
toy, that her crew, fearing for their
safety, sought shelter in a boat and
went ashore at the station at Sandy
Hook, and remained there all night
Yesterday the schooner parted her
anchor chain and drifted ashore near
Harvey Cedars Life Saving Station
where she was caught in the rushing
waters and hurled far in on the beach.
She is lumber laden, and will probably
prove a total wreck. Her length is ia
feet and her gross tonnage 314. Her
hailing port is Boston.
The German ship, Senator Versman,
Captain Friedericksen, from Djaewana,
October IL, rrived at the Brealzwater,
She reported having experienced a
terrific northeast gale Tuesday night,
ninety miles off the capes. Her decks
were swept continually by huge waves,
which caused her cargo to shift and
carried away the tOpsail.
The schooner Jacob S. Winslow.
which sailed from St. Jago, Cuba, on
January IL. for Navassa, put in at the
Delaware Breakwater at o'clock yes
terday afternoon in distress. The yes
sci encountered terrific gales at sea
during which the rudder was lost, fore
sail blown away and foremast sprung.
The schooner was found in a disabled
condition outside the Delaware capes
by the tug Thomas, which towed her
TO the Breakwater
In view of such reports, the steamers
now az the Breakwater and Marcus
Hook put Off their departure, and are
anchored near by, waiting a more IA
vora.ble condition of the elements be-
fore venturing out to sea.
Shortly after 2 o'clock this morning
there was heavy rain and hailstOrm,
accompanied by thunder and lightning,
but no serious damage was done in this
city or vicinity.
The tides in the Christiana were un-
usually high yesterday and to-day.
The fog continues to-day.

NAY HAVE BEEN SUICIDE.
Judge SeoWell Yesterday Decided Thot the Policy oD the Life of
 c. D. A. Crosble Is Worthless.

Judge Seawell filed an opinion in fa- vor of the Pacific Mutual Life Insur- ance Company yesterday in an action brought against the company to re- cover s10,0O0 on an accident insurance policy held on the life of George Doug las Atcherly Crosbie.
 While out rabbit-hunting in June, 1892, Crosbie was fatally shot. it is supposed accidentally. A short time afterward a grandmother of the de- ceased, who lives in England, put in a claim for the amount of the policy, but payment was refused. The claim was later assigned to John Jenkins for the purpose of bringing the action decid- ed yesterday. In the trial of the case the only support in proof that Crosbies death was accidental, and not suicidal, were statements made by him on his deathbed, such as, T shot myself by accident" and '"The gun went off and shot me-" Judge Seawell held that the burden of establishing the manner in which Crosbie met his death rested on the side of the plaintiff, and as he had failed in the attempt judgment must be given against him.

One of ten starters in the fourth event at six furlongs, she went over to the post an to l. chance with Thorpe in the saddle. and. overtaking George Miller at the head of the stretch, led Harry Thoburn out less than a length at the wire. George Miller was again made a favorite, but his suspicious legs must have given him trouble for the old favorite stopped badly in the run home.
 On paper the mile selling run looked a certainty for Shasta Water, and she was plunged on at the short price of to 10. The mare must have been out of sorts, for Clawson was unable to make her raise a Callop. Myth, with Midget O'Connor in the saddle, led the bunch to within a few yards of the wire, where Conley got up with Gar land Barr and in a hard drive got the decision by head George Lee easily downed the first choice for the show.
 The Baldwin entry, San Venado. took the final six-furlong sprint in drive from Glorian. The winner ruled a to favorite. and, leading from the start, won out by a head at the wire.

GETTING THEIR
 SUPPLIES READY
Many Alaska Parties Are Now Quitting in This
 City.
Large Companies in the East Have Their Representatives
 Here.

The Alaska trade committee has on Its register book over 1000 names of people who are going to the Klondike in the spring from outside the city. This list of names is open to all sub scribers to the committee, and can be had by applying at the bureau in the ferry building.
 Yesterday the number registered was seventy, and In most instances the persons who registered their names were merely representative k of larger parties which are already pre- pairing to go to Alaska In addition to this about twenty-five letters were received containing inquiries about transportation and the cost of outfits in San Francisco. One large party in South Dakota has written to the Alaska trade committee saying that it would come to the coast very shortly, and preferred to outfit at San Francisco, all things being equal.
 An Eastern party wires that if 1t can arrange to purchase S0,000 feet of steamboat lumber here 1t will send a party of sixty people to the city, all of whom will purchase their com plete outfit here. The telegram states that they will need 100 tons of sup plies and machinery, in addition to the lumber.
 Another organization of miners wants to contract for 150 tons of freight, 50 tons of coal and 50 passen- ger berths. These parties come from the East, and at the present time are making Chicago their headquarters. They have already organized the company, and are prepared to enter the Yukon gold fields as soon as it is possible to ship their supplies.
 The number of visitors at the eX- hibit rooms at the ferry building yes terday far exceeded the record on any day during the holidays. A great many of those who have been inspect ing the articles displayed are already purchasing their outfits. Several of the merchants who have subscribed to the general fund of the Alaska trade committee report that they are beginning to feel the effects of the liberal advertising which has been done in behalf of San Francisco. The demand for the special supplies which enter into the outfit of every Alaska miner is steadily increasing. And trade in these lines is beginning to be very active.
 The bulletin board which gives the dates of sailing and all information relating to steamers running to Alaskan ports is revised daily, and as fast as word Is received of the pro- posed departure of steamers for the north it is posted on the blackboard outside the committees rooms In ad- dition to the vessels which are enter ing into this trade for the first time, full list is given of the regular lines plying between San Francisco and Dyea, Skaguay and Copper River

The Match Race in the Nature of a Gift for
 Eddie Jones.
The Roman Defeated Fleur de Lis and Made a Track
 Record.
Chappie First at 80 to 1-Gariand Barr Scored in a Hard
 Drive.

It is more than probable that the Burns & Waterhouse stable thinks it. self entitled to a great big kick" On New Years day Eddie Jones. the sta ble's crack Morello colt, defeated Tor sida in a seven-furlong run, for which the latter went to the post a strongly supported favorite. It was dusk when the race was run, and when the horses returned to the stand Piggott on Tor sida claimed that Thorpe, astride the winner, deliberately cut him off fur long from the wire. The claim of foul was allowed, and, under the recently created rule, Eddie Jones was placed second and the race given to Torsida- As a result of the ruling the pair were matched for $750 a side, the race to be run under the same conditions as gov erned the New Years day race. The match was decided at Ingleside yester- day at 1 o'clock, and the son of Morello administered a sound and decisive drubbing to the Ally. In the betting the Burns & Warehouse entry was favorite, the bookmakers doing busi- ness. holding him at to 10, with to 5 against the other. As Ed Corrigan would not permit Piggott to ride, Henry Shields piloted Torsida Starter Cald- well dispatched the pair to a perfect break. Eddie Jones skipped to the front, and, never extended, won in gallop, travelling the route in the fast time of 1:27 flat. The winner Is still eligible to start in maiden races.
 It was rather pleasant day for out slders, EinStein, Chappie, Miss Ross and Garland Barr all turning up win ners at very remunerative odds.
 The most notable performance of the afternoon was that of The Roman, in the mile and a furlong handicap. the sturdy son of Brutus reducing the track record one and a halr seconds, the mark now to shoot at being 1:5311. He was an II to choice in the ring, with Willie Martin in the saddle. and IL took all of that polished riders skill to land his mount winner from Fleur de Lis, Stemler's fast mare sue cumolng only by a neck in a long, hard drive. She was as good as 10 to 1 m the betting and was heavily backed. Tom Cromwell, the second choice. was a poor third in front of Grady, Double Quick and Los Prietos.
 The Corrigan colors were borne to the front in the opening six-furIong sprint of Einstein, against which the books laid to l opening. The colt was plugged in the betting and galloping over his feld won as he pleased from Duke of York IT.
 The last performance of Kaiser Iud wlg was nothing to gloat over, but Tom Grifffn's horse seemed to be just about the real thing in the second event yesterday. With odds of to about him in the betting, he collared Iorsino in the stretch and looked to have the race we'll in hand, when Gray on the 30 to l shot Chappie. ap. parently caught Clawson. on the lead mapping and snatched the race by head. The field was a large one apd the winner was neglected in the hat- ting. Oo'
 Miss Ross was another one that was allowed to perambulate in the betting without being accorded much support
