EIGHTEEN LOST IN
 THE ASIA WRECK  Three Sailors Saved Themselves by Constructing a
 Raft.

Princetown, Mass, Feb. 23.-only three of those on board the Asia were saved. following is a list of those lost:
 Captain G. N. Dakin, Mrs. Dakin, Lena Dakin, Mate Thomas Cook. Second Mate Crosby, James Miles Ray, Michael Doyle Frank Walter, Charles Stone, Charles Wyna, George Warner, Charles Ranba, Charles Williams Charles Carlston, John Fielding, Alfred Oldbury, Burnett Burns ton, Fred Lanchet-Total IS.
 The three men who were rescued were taken to Hyannis today by the Unted States steamer Azilea, where they told the story of the wreck.
 The Asia left Manila on September 6, 1897, for Boston, with a cargo of hemp. The shin struck on Great Round shoal at 5:5o o'clock on the evening of Sunday last and the crew were unable to get her off in the fierce storm that prevailed. Tremendous seas swept over the ship, which began to leak. and at 2 o'clock Monday morning 1t became evident that she would soon go 10 pieces An attempt was made to launch the boats, but as fast as one was lowered it was smashed to pieces against the ves- sel. until they were all destroyed.
 The raft bearing the three sailors drifted down towards the Handkerchief lghtship' and at 10 o'clock in the forenoon they were rescued by the crew of the vessel. The men were so far gone that they were un- able to give either their names or that or the ship.
 On board the lightship prompt remedies were applied and the men revived, ana were soon able to tell enough to snow through what terrible experiences they had passed

KENTUCKY MOB
 DEALS VENGEANCE Richard Allen Hanged for Con- uniting a Series of Bar
 gIaries.

Mayfield, Ky, Feb. N.-A mob of about 300 or 400 citizens of Mayfeld and Graves county gather from different points in the outskirts of the city and dragged Richard Allen ,colored, out of jail and carried him to the court house yard and hung him to a tree next to the one on wfMch Jim Stone was hanged a little over a year ago.
 Allen Is the negro who broke into James A. Wright's house last Saturday night and pointing a pistol into Mrs. Wright's face, demanded his money. He was arrested hours later.
 He had his trial today along with Tom Holmes, another negro arrested for com plicity. Holmes was acquitted, there not being sufficient evidence to convict him. Allen, after being swung up two or three times, finally acknowledged that he be- longed to gang of negroes composed of himself, Tom Holmes, Harve Eyre, Bob Grundy and three others whose names could not be learned He said they were responsible for all the crimes committed here, and told who had most of the arti- clesi stolen from the people here. The mob determined to deal summary justice to the other members of the gang, and 1t is in the same manner. Allen claims that he was given $50 not to tell anything about the matter. The mob was one of the most orderly that has ever been formed in this town, not shot being fired during the entire transaction. The citizens of the town greatly deplore the act, but 1t seems to be the only remedy by which to stop the burglaries. The latest report is that they have gone after the other negroes.

Brothers-in-Law Shoot Each Other With Fatal
 Effect.

Campbellsville, Ky, Feb. 23.- One dead and the other dying is the result of des- perate duel between Robert Shipp and Lloyd Horton, brothers in law, in Taylor county, near this place today.

 This afternoon Shipp was passing Hor- toms house. Horton was standing out side and Shipp made some remark to him. Horton told him he wanted nothing to do with him, and to get away from him, whereupon Shipp drew his pistol and fired, the ball entering just to the right of Hor- tons navel.
 Horton then drew his pistol and fired. Shipp fell and instantly expired, but Hor- ton continued to fire until the contents of his revolver were emptied Into Shipp's body. Horton called his wife to assist him into the house, saying that he was killed. At D. m. he was dying. Both leave large families.

When the present chapter of Servian government passes into history the story of Natalie, Queen of the Servians, will be one of the most interesting as well as the most painful on record.
 At an early age Natalie, then a beauti- full girl, left the home of her father, Col. Keschko, of the Royal Russian Guards, to marry Milan, King of servia, and fifth of his dynasty to rule the country. Milan was rich, agreeable, handsome and gen. erous to a fault. S+s

 When the announcement first appeared in the Birmingham news papers that Dr. Harter would dis tribute free, from all leading drug stores, his Iron Tonic, and that the full result of the free distribu- ton would be published day by day in the columns of the Birm- lngham newspapers, and that this preparation should stand or fall upon the results of this investiga- tion, 1t marked a new era in the introduction of honest medicines
 That Dr. Harter has won the fight honestly and squarely is now a known fact.

back homel Schley's dispatch on dis
covering Cervera's feet in Santiago
harbor will ring through all war annals
Equally will endure his prompt and
considerable report TO Admiral Sampson,
even while the echo of his own victorious
guns reverberated against the Cuban
heights: 81 seems to me this victory is
big enough for all of us This phrase
has already gone into renown; but to
interpret it in its delicate intensity one
must recall that it was addressed to an
officer who had had no share in that
marvellous engagement.
And now read Schley's rejoinder to a
private letter of congratulation on that
same great battle:
DEAR SIR:+I thank you sincerely for
your congratulations, hut rather, they
are due to the brave officers and gallant
men who fought the battle. The great
est satisfaction comes to us all in the fact
that the victory of July has won the
love and admiration of the people for
whose defence we stood, no matter at
what cost to ourselves; and we hope it
may bring peace to our blessed country
and permit us to return to our homes
and loved ones. Thanking you again,
am very sincerely yours,

REED ON PROSPERITY.

Congressman Thomas B. Reed was of
course unanimously renominated by the
sensible Republicans of the First Maine
District on Wednesday. In the afternoon
he addressed 1000 people. He said in
part
"Why is it we have not come into
full measure of prosperity? The reason
is plain. The Republican party had
done its full duty up to the first part of
April to start revival of Industrial
prosperity. Then came the preparation
for war. Prosperity was waiting for us
and its coming was only postponed. You
and | know that when a nation sees fit to
go to war the war must be attended to
promptly and at once.
1.-The history of the last month shows
clearly that the war was attended to
promptly. The valor of our soldiers and
the splendid ability of our naval forces
have permitted us to rise above our
enemies in measure almost miraculous.
The war has enriched our history by
great events which may repay us for
what we have undergone. At the time
when war seemed imminent we were
arranging to export many millions of
tons of steel from ore dug from the
bowels of the earth and manufactured
by the skill and industry of our people
The years OF adversely were not lost on
us. When we were unable to manufac-
ture pig iron and dispose of it at $12, we
determined to make it for SO. With
every industry it was the same what
we used to make for a dollar we make
now for half dollar.
'sIn the next period of prosperity we
shall make for our own people many
things the outside world furnished us
thirty years ago. before Republican rule.
Some critics complain that our revenues
are not now what should be expected.
Why is it that less revenue is being pro-
duced than before? Because revenue
comes from imports, no imports no tariff
revenues. You and I are making things
now which England used to make and
sell to us. That is one problem we have
got to meet in the future. Our very
prosperity will have to deal with differ
emit conditions than ever before. I am
confident we will go forward in the same
rule founded on the intelligence of the
people,"

EPleRAMs OF A NAVAL WARRIOR.

Three months of hot foreign war
have advanced the United States decades
beyond every national rival in all that
relates to military excellence on land
and sea. And it has evolved heroes and
heroes, the degree and the number of
these being limited alone by the limita-
lions of occasion, while the occasion has
at no time been wanting. American
exploits Of conquest have been complete
and crushing, constant and astounding.
But there stand out two towering
personages of this war, that loom against
its background and will be pre-emlnent
fixtures in American history. These are
Dewey and Schley. The one developed
not only the prerequisites of great
naval commander and victor, but the
characteristics and geniusof true states
man and diplomat. Dewey's manage
ment of intricate affairs in his far off
sovereignty of Manila has been superior
to that of some governmental authorities
at home. At the same time, Commodore
SchIey, leaping into fame for his cool,
impetuous and logged fighting qualities,
has taken immediate rank because of
unique self-abnegatory and epigramma-
tic expressiyeness and for the intense
originality and brevity of his messages.
These disclose not only that he is a great
naval commander, like Dewey, but that
he is also ready master of chaste and
concise Anglo-Saxon. His official and
personal messages are gems, and they
are the more lustrous because his utter
ances are never volunteered but are
evolved only by the forces of occasion.

free silver should be the issue in New
Jersey upon which the election should

County Democrat refuses to be COM
forted and wants to have the issue of free
silver in the State election. For the life
of us, we cannot see what Bryan or Nc
Kinley, the gold or silver ratio, has to do
with the election of a Governor in New

porter of the Democratic candidate in
1895 as any Democratic paper in the
State, and therefore we are entitled to
speak by the card, SO to speak. AS the
Inder hes repeatedly said of late, if the
Democrats want to carry this State and
elect Governor and Legislature they
should make the fight solely on State
issues. If they want to inject national
politics in the State election. they might
as well not make any nominations and let
the Republicans carry it by default.
However, we hope that good sense and
sound reasoning have not altogether

sey and we expect to get together and

Register of Newton says Zone thing is
certain, though the next Congressman

Pitney. Every true Republican and
every citizen of the district who feels a
pride in being ably represented at Wash
ington regrets that Mr.. Pitney has de-
cided not to oe candidate. But no one
can find fault with his position; he owes
duty to his family, rather than to his
constituents, and we all appreciate that
fact and that he has served his district at
a sacrifice of his personal interests
