wreck is that no large portion of the
vessels hull or bottom has been found
in all the wreckage that has been wash
ed up on the beach.
Two Salem people. Mr.. and Mrs. Ju-
liam A. Fogg, had lucky escape. They
intended taking the steamer on Satur-
day. but on account Of the storm de-
cided to postpone their trip.
Charges are made that Captain Blan-
chard Of the Portland deliberately DISC
beyed orders and put to sea in the
storm when he had been directed to
wait until o'clock on Saturday night.
In hopes that the storm would abate.
The ship was far from her course
when she foundered The only explana-
ton which can be offered FOR this fact
is that when she encountered the storm
she was blown of her course and. with
disabled engines. tried to make a haven
at Provincetown, across Massachusetts,
bay from here.
Many Other Lives Lost.
While the total loss Of life caused by
the storm cannot be estimated with any
degree OF accuracy 1t Is known that
more than 200 persons persisted. This
estimate Is made on the basis of only
one from each crew reported missing
and each Of which would include at
least three, while the larger schooners
would have seven or eight men aboard.
Attempt to estimate the financial
losses sustained by shipping interests
Is equally difficult from facts in hand,
but it appears that the bulk Of the
damage was done between Cape Ann,
where a score or more Of vessels were
lost, to Guilty Hunk. where the steamer
Warwick Is on the rocks.
From present reports 1t is known that
56 vessels have been totally wrecked,
while 40 are ashore with hardly a
chance Of being saved. OF the Sc total
wrecks, barges not included, 43 craft
aggregate 12.202 gross tonnage. OF those
in perilous positions 20 aggregate 1859
tons. The stranding Of the big English
liner Ohio and the ocean tug Tamaqua
are not included in the estimate given,
nor many Of the big coal barges ashore
in Boston harbor. The positions Of these
are now dangerous, for they are exposed
to the northeast storm raging now.
The number Of schooners which have
been driven ashore in fairly safe berths
or damaged by collision or dismantled
can be reckoned by the scores, and
many Of them are likely to be included
in the list Of total wrecks.
The steamer Orion. Captain Smith
has reached here after an eventful pas
sage from Newport News, during which
she lost the barges Ocean Belle, for
Providence, and the Enos Soule. for this
port. The crew OF the Ocean Belle, four
men. were saved. The fate of those on
the Soule is not known.
The overdue freight steamer Brook
line, Captain List has arrived 48 hours
late on her passage from Port Antonio
Jamaica. Captain List reports that on
the evening of the eth. when off Cape
Hatteras. the Brookline ran into the
gale, which pounded.the vessel so that
1t was necessary to heave to for So
hours. Gigantic combers raked the
decks of the Brookline, washing away
everything movable.

1t seems to be the opinion amongst
competent judges that gigantic blum
der is being made in the construction
Of the stage in the new City Hall build
ing. 1t is not deep enough, and is in
ferior in length to what it should be.
Only thirty odd feet remain above the
stage for the drawing up of the scenery.
1t should if possible be the main object of
the city to have sufficient stage to permit
the presentation of large productions,
thereby bringing to the city more reve'
nue. by means of the rentals derived from
such entertainments.

THE GATE CITY SAFE.
Sighted on Monday and 1t Is Thought
on Tuesday Also.

New York. Dec 1.-Fears for the Sa.
vannah line steamer Gate City, which
left Boston Saturday. were allayed by
the receipt Of a dispatch from Boston
announcing that Captain Lewis of the
Chattahoochee, which has arrived al
that city, saw the Gate City southeast
Of Montauk Point Monday afternoon at
$3.50 o'clock.
The Gate City was holding her regu-
lar course to the southwark and had
practically left the storm track astern
There was some difficulty at first in
learning who had taken passage on the
Gate City. but the list was obtained
and Is as follows:
Miss Abbie G. York, Miss N. l.. Will
son. Miss Alice Kicker. Mrs. G. F. Rick
er. Albert Joselyn, Mrs. D. Strickford,
Moses Cante, John Edwards, Neil Nc
Phee. f. B. Osgood. A. Fost, u. S. A.
II. w. Lee. E. P. Taylor, w. II. Cook.
c. Fl. Cook, Frank York. u. j. Yerkes
and Miss Mary F. Rich.
Captain Halsey Of the Cromwell line
steamer Hudson. Just arrived here,
says he saw Savannah liner south
bound Tuesday afternoon about 1870
miles south OF Sandy Hook. 1t is
thought the steamer sighted was the
Gate City.
While it is almost absolutely certain
that the Gate City is safe. there is not
so much confidence expressed in the
safety Of the Manhattan ..teamship
company's steamer Pentagoet. which
left here last Thursday for Bangor. Me.
She is very small craft. about 1913 feet
over all. and had been in the lake trade
for good many years. Recently she
was placed on the newly established
New York and Bangor line. The last
heard of the Pentagoet was on catur-
day afternoon, when she was seen off
Highland light. Cape Cod, making her
way to the eastward.
She appeared to he all right then, but
the great storm broke shortly after
ward. and the Pentagoet must certain
ly have attempted to make port Prov
incetown was tie only harhor that she
could reach ouf Tor then with any de-
gree OF safety. but It is feared that. As
In the case Of the Portland. which also
tried tn make Provincetown and failed,
with an awful loss OF life, the Pentagoet
could not reach the haven.

The Accused N'Oman's AmanucnsiS
Gives Evidence Against Her.
WROTE TO GEORGE GOULD.
Did So Under Different Names ana
Tried to Disguise His IInndvrtt-
ing-Wyoming Judge AIsOa
Witness In the Case.

Albany, Dec. 1.-The second day of
the trial of Mrs. Margaret f.. Cody OF

ferred by the Gould heirs in connection
with Mrs. Codys alleged connection of
a scheme to prove that Jay Gould
had married Mrs. Sarah Ann Angel at
Champlain, Clinton county, in 1853, was
opened with James b. Stearns or
Rouse's Point on the stand.
Mr.. Stearns testified that the COM
plant in the Angell-Gould dover case
was mailed by him to Mrs. Cody, but
he afterward said he thought he hand =.
ed it to Mrs. Cody. Nearly all Of the
correspondence which passed between
Mr.. Stearns and Mrs. Cody and Mr.
Parker Is in the hands of the Gould at
torneys, and when Mr.. Degan, repre-
senting Mrs. Cody, asked Mr.. Stearns
how this correspondence was obta ned
by those now having possession of it he
replied that he did not know. Witness
said he had never had any conversat on
with the Goulds or their attorneys.
Nicholas J. Dack, who acted as Mrs.
Cody's amanuenss while she was in
Albany, was recalled and gave testi
mony regarding the letters he had writ
ton. Mr.. Dack testified that before he
was hired by Mrs. Cody he was asked
il he knew how to write several differ
ent hands, and one of his letters writ
ten in back hand was presented to show
that at Mrs. Cody's requ's- he had
tried to disguise his handwriting.
Under Different Names.
It developed that Dacli had written
several dictated letters to the Coulds
under different names and that Mrs.
Cody had taken one of them to CsweTo
to mail In this letter the writer told
George ]. Gould that Mrs. Cody was
responsible woman and could be trust
ed
Judge Melville c. Brown of LARA bee,
Wy. near which town lives Mrs. Pierce,
who thought she was jay G"u2's
daughter, was witness. Judge Blown
testified that one day in 1885 when he
was at Mrs. Pierce's home Mrs. Cody
was there. He told Mrs. Cody that Mrs.
Angel had told him that she had never
been married to Jay Gould, and he
wanted to know what she (Mrs. Cody
meant by her actions. At this Mrs,
Cody raved and stormed and said that
Mrs. Angel had made that denial for
the purpose of making her out back
mailer. To this Mrs. Angel replied:
Il never represented to you that /
was married to Jay Gould, and l now
state that ] never was married to Jay
Gould and that l signed the papers on
the representation that I would thereby
receive large sum of money"

The darkest street in this city is that
which is known as tho Barrc Bowery.
There, grea: majority of the crimes
are committed. From that section Of
the city como the police court cases; in
that locality are the dives where young
men 60 10 ruin; where young girls are
disgraced for life. Why do tho evil do
ers ply their trade to greater extent
on that street than in other parts of the
city? Because crime is found to a great
er extent in the dark places of the world.
No wonder that highway robberies and
free for all fights occur down on River
Street when We consider that there is
not an electric light on the street. Why
do not the City Fathers order one to be
placed there? Would it not be better
for the morals of the city to put one or
more on that street, than it is to place
additional lights in front of the residence
Of some public official As has been done
in the past half dozen years? In the
name Of good order and deeency We ask
that River Street be lighted at night.

Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1898-06-17


THE Ottawa Herald Joe Brstow's paper,
says that Governor Leedy sent the Kansas vol
unteers away half-clothed and half-fed, to re-
ceive charity from SanFrancisco. The SanFran-
cisco paper which started the story has had the
honesty to take it all back ard eXoneratc
Governor Leedy from all blame i'll the matter,
laying the blame where it belongs-wlth the
war department at Washington. Bristow's
Man Friday at Ottawa will not exhibit that
much honor. He believes that lie well stuck
to is better than the truth. Taking into coT-
sidcration the efforts of Governor Leedy to make
the boys comfortable, by furnishing them with
ove1coats, blankets, ETC., this lie of Brlstow's
Man Friday is disgusting, ard honest nen will
give it 10 credence. The boys who were at
Camp Leedy will never forget the Governors
kindness and his efforts in their behalf. We
doubt if there is one of them who would not
denounce the fellow who penned the lie. But,
this story is only a sample of the campaign
that will be carried on by many Republican pa
pers. They can say nothing truthful against
the state administration, and they forced to
resort to lies. We are glad to say that there
are honest Republicans, and they will not be-
licVc the lies.

was nominated by the Prohbitionists for Gov
crnor. Senator PETER is not third party Pro-
hibitionist, but he says he accepted the nomina-
ton in order to test the people of the state on
the prohibition question. He says he doesn't
expect to get the votes of these opposed to pro-
hibition, but if those who profess to be prohi-
bitonists are in earnest, he will be elected.
He says he will discuss nothing but the prohi-
biton question in ths campaign. OF course,
Mr.. PETER has no faith in the sincerity of the
fellows who get upon their hind legs and howl
prohibition just at the beginning of each cam
naion. The recent utterances of 'Rev." ].
G. Dougherty proves this. But, we will see
what we will see.
