Terrible Experience of Capt. Davis
in His SIoOp Yacht.

Norfolk. Va, March 6.-After being ice
hound during the terrible February biz
yard half frozen and blown away to sea,
with only himself aboard, Capt. William
Davis has at last succeeded in reaching
tbis port aboard his sloop yacht Nellie.
He started from Norfolk for Cuba with
a crew of four and a party of sportsmen
aboard Jan. 4. Proceeding to Bogne Inlet
they stopped to shoot, and then dropped
down to Harbor Island, where the blizzard
caught them.
Arrived there the eighty-mle wind that
prevailed scared the crew into semi-mu-
tiny and they declared they would go no
further. Meantime, the ice formed on the
rigging a foot thick.
on of the crew attempted to get ashore
on a sledge improvised out of bed Stats.
When about half way to shore, he broke
through the ice into the water For
twenty minutes the poor fellow struggled
for his life and. at the peril of their own
lives, Charley Rose of North Carolina and
Mr.. Green of the firm of Green & Pear
son, Madison, N. j., who were of the Mel
lies party, took him ashore where all
were cared for by big-hearted members of
the Harbor Island Club.
The rest of the crew succeeded i'm getting
ashore, but the captain remained aboard.
Meantime the blizzard had increased In
violence and the Nellie was blown out to
sea. The sufferings of Capt. Davis were
terrible He finally succeeded in reach

THEY WANT A NEW CONTRACT.
Employees VIII Make Demands of the
Cotton Belt Road.

Employees VIII Make Demands of the
Cotton Belt Road.
Pine Bluff, Ark, March 6.-The Order of
Railway Conductors and the Brotherhood
of Railway Trainmen are endeavoring to
obtain modification of their contract
with the Cotton Belt road. The men
claim that the contract under which they
are now working is unsatisfactory, and
they want concessions from the company.
A big union meeting of members of the
two organizations was held here sto-night
at which the general contract committee
representing the organizations on the
system were present. The committee has
been earnestly at work endeavoring to OBJ
tain the revision, and the object of the
meeting was to obtain a general express
sion of feeling from interested members.
The committee was given to understand
that they would have every support, finan-
cial and otherwise, of all conductors and
trainmen on the system.
There is much speculation a s to the
outcome should a revised and acceptable
contract not be forthcoming from the
railroad. The meeting tonight repre-
sents the Cotton Belts entire corps of
conductors and trainmen, from Cairo ILL.,.
to Gainesville, Tex, and tributary lines.

OHIO RIVER ON THE RISE.
Indications Are, However, That Lit
tie Damage Will Result.


Cincinnati, March 6.-Fifty-three feet
and nine inches is the 10 o'clock stage of
the Ohio river at this point tonight. The
indications here now are that there will
be fifty-six feet of water in the Ohio at
Cincinnati by O'Clock tomorrow morn
ing.
Reports from above show that the Mo-
nongahela and the Allegheny are station
airy. AT Brownsville and Morgantown,
near the headwaters of the Monongahela,
where the great supply came from to
make the flood in that river, the waters
are falling with seventeen feet at Nor
gantown and nearly twenty-three feet at
Brownsville.
At Wheeling the stage is twenty-six
feet Further down the river at Park
ersburg, w Va, the river is stationary.
At Gallipolis it is forty-seven feet and
rising slowly. At Portsmouth it is fifty
four feet and ten inches and rising two
inches an hour.
Taking the Portsmouth stage as an in
dication in connection with the condition
of the river at points above up to Park
ersburg, the indications are that the max
imum stage reached at Cincinnati will be
fifty-nine feet and possibly sixty feet
provided the floods are not increased by
further rainfall. Damage by flood in the
cities on the Ohio so far reported is slight

CHURCH RECORD WAS CHANGED.
CarvaIhO Testihes in the Famous
Cody Trial at Albany.

Albany, N. Y, March 6.-The most sig
niheant testimony adduced at the Cody
trial to-day was that of David N. Carval-
no, a handwriting expert, who. by a
chemical test, in the presence of the jury.
showed that the record in the book of the
Cooperville Church had been erased ana
changed, and that the name of Mary
Brown, the supposed wife of Jay Gould,
had been written over blank space; the
word ''illegitimate" changed to "legiti-
mate" and in the place where the name
of the mother of the Legitimate child had
originally been written, was interpolated
the name Jay Could"
This proof, in connection with the strong
testimony of Mrs. Hoyle of Rouse's Point,
TO the effect that the original Sarah Brown
was dead and that the present Mrs. An
gel, the supposed pretender to the name
and family of Gould was only a niece of
the woman who was mentioned in the al
ready disputed notch. put the case of the
defense in a nearly hopeless condition.

MEAT MADE MORE MEN SICK.
Courts Next Session VIII BE HeId
in Chicago.

III NhlcaE0.
Washington, March 1.-THE war 5enart.
ment court of inquiry held a very brief
session to-day, the last before its mem
bers start for the West, where they win
inspect the packing plants of Chicago
Omaha and Kansas City.
Ihene was but one witness examined
Lieut. Frederick L. Munson. Ninth In
fantry. He said that during his service
IN cuba up 10 the surrender of Santiago
MS command had as a meat component
OF the ration, bacon and canned roast
beef, In the proportion of about ten davs
OF the former to fifteen days of the later.
Untl the surrender he received no COM
paints of the canned roast beef, but after
the surrender his commissary sergeant re-
ported TO MIN that something was making
the men very sick. They did not know
what it was, but thought it was some
thing they had eaten. After eliminating
every other factor that they could think
they concluded it must be the canned
beef. He ordered the cooks to try fixing
UP the meat in stews, with bareback and
tomatoes. but it seemed to make no diff
ference. The men continued sick The
men then discontinued the use of the
beef
On the voyage home, they still had
canned roast beef, but the men did not
eat it. He tried to turn it into the COM
missary at Montauk, but the commissary
would not receive it.
OF the refrigerated beef The witness said
the principal objection to il was that it
spoiled before the men received it. He
was obliged to condemn his whole con-
signment of refrigerated beef on account
of this.
The health of the men remained good
till about two weeks before leaving, when
the command broke down all in a bunch
His command was the headquarters pro-
vost guard, made up of old and picked
men, They were not the sort to complain
of anything till they had reached the very
limit of endurance. Their sickness was
almost entirely bowel and stomach trou-
bic.
This wound up the taking of testimony
in Washington, and the court adjourned
to meet in Chicago on Thursday
