she stole silver backed brushes,

the Office, despite her cries for mer-

"What did you want with all
these things" asked Jacket.
II am the teacher of a Sunday
school class of eight girls, and as |
did not have any money to buy them

RESCUED in
IMID-OCEAN.
Crew Of the Schooner
Saved From Death.

After hope OF their safety had
been abandoned the crew of the
Philadelphia schooner II. and J.
Blenderman, which was abandon-
ed off the Nova Scotio coast, 400
miles from land, during the Noyem-
Der gales, were landed yesterday
at Baltimore from the British
steamer Kastalia from Glasgow.
The Blenderman, which was COM
manded by Captain Reed, Of Cam
den, N. j.; left Hillsboro. New
Brunswick, on November 9 with q
cargo of plaster for Philadelphia.
The vessel had barely cleared
the coast when she ran into a blind
ing snow storm, which was accom-.
panied by bowling gale, and was
soon helplessly drifting seward
before the storm. On November II
her mansail was blown away.
Then leak was discovered and all
hands, including Jacob Hendricks
son. a passenger from Woodbury.,
N. j., were called to the pumps,
there being eight feet Of water in
the hold of the sinking vessel.
Rapidly the doomed craft settled
down in the water as the .leak'in-
creased, and when the waves were
sweeping over her and the deck
was level with the sea. Captain
Reed ordered his men to abandon 5
the schooner and take to the small
boat. All hands, numbering eight,
crowded into the single lifeboat at
hand and intrusted themselves to
the mercy of the waves and the
bitter cold. An observation shows
ed that the schooner was then 400
miles east of st. John, New Brans-
wick.
For two nights and a day the
frail craft drifted at the mercyaef
wind and wave, but-a careful look.
out was kept, as Captain Reed bee.
1ieved he was in the track of trans
atlantic steamers. 1t was on the
second night. that the lights Of a
vessel were seen and signals of dis
tress finally attracted attention.
The vessel proved to be the British
steamer Hestia bound. from Balti-
more to Glasgow, and the ship
wrecked mariners were picked up
and tendcrly cared for.
But still another trying experi-
cnce was in store for them. Three
nights after the rescue all hands
were called upon to help the crew
of the Hestia, which was in danger
of laundering in terrific gale.
Fifty head of cattle were swept
overheard, the steamers rudder
chain was snapped and three life
boats were smashed. She weather.
ed the storm, however, and at Glas-
gov the United States Consul took
charge of the shipwrecked men and
sent them TO Baltimore on the
Kastalia.
Captain Reed recently had a
similar experience on the schooner
Arthur. The Blenderman was
built at Port Jefferson, l.. l., in
1870. and was owned by Peter
Reed and athers.

We CLEAN from letter written
on December 18th, at Phoenix,
Arizona, that Mr.. McVey Of this
city, arrived there on the day be-

gained seventeen pounds since his
arrival in Phoenix. He has taken
up the practice of medicine and is
kept quite busy at the sanatorium,
where he is assisting the other
physicians and is taking their
treatment. His specialties are the
nose, eye and ear. He has good
many cases outside the Sanatorium
of his own and expects to have quite
a good practice built up by spring."

] The court appointed Attorneys NJ. NJ.
Warner and George r. Lund TO defend
/ the priSoned.
The evidence against him is purely
circumstantial. On the night of the
murder Strong was at the depot when
! the midnight freight pulled in. He ar
rested Frank Morris, Conors' pal in the
Schofield burglary, just as he (Morris)
was hiding his grip. The officer and
/ burglar moved away together. but as
I they walked down the yard the latter
broke from the officer and ran. He
/ went through the freight train between
| the last car and the cabOose, and the
/ last he saw of Strong he too was in the
! act of going through the freight.
This is Morris story, and he says
that the place where he say Strong go
through the train was the identical
place where Conors was in hiding. The
officers theory is that he there ran
upon ConorS and arrested him. This
seems plausible. too, as he was seen
afterward by the train men and three
tramps, now in custody, moving across
the yard between the depot and the
z. c. NJ. /. warehouse with a prisoner.

PLEAD FOR THE SHEEPhEN
WHY UINTAH RESERVATION
SHOULD BE THROWN OPEN.
Senator Brown and Mr.. Smith File
Additional Brief With Secretary Of
the Interior.
Special to The Herald.)

Washington, July S.-Ex-Senator
Brown and Jesse Smith this afternoon
filed additional papers with Secretary
Hitchcock. Among them was a letter
from Governor Heber NJ Wells. ear
nestly asking that the reservation De
opened, and from Alma Eldredge, late
Republican candidate for congress, re-
counting arguments in favor of open
ing Letters were also filed from A w.
McCune, f. p. Ellison, F. j. Kiesel,

A. P. Biglow, Dennis Eichnor Heoer D:
Grant, NJ. H. Walker, Reed Smoot and
7. G.. Weber.
In their final brief presented to the
secretary today, the gentlemen say that
the exclusion of the sheep from the
Uintah reservation will produce I'M
mense loss and injury to the stock in
terests of Utah. and cripple its great
est industry: that the sheep do not
injure the forest; that the snow Will
lay just as long. and the irrlgatlnS
stream be preserved just as well where
sheep have been pastured as where
they have not: that by sending the
sheep far away from the settlements
and up into the hills there is less dan
ger of polluting the water than II they
were kept in the lowlandS; that the
reservation itself is too large in pro-
portion to the size of the state, and
that its limit should be very largely
reduced.
They formally request the secretary
to reopen the case, to call on Super
visor Bucher and Colonel May at Den
yer to make second reports and temper
arily permit sheep to enter the reser-
walton July 10, remaining two months
