building, found the jug with it's cOrncOb

Rockwell now has it under lock and key

1t is hard to understand from the
above just exactly what Sunnmerell
does want, if indeed he knows himself.
But the committee guessed at it and
agreed, when they failed to come to
any decision as to his removal that he
should be given hearing with his Wit
nesses before the full board. Nothing
has been said about summoning and
hearing witnesses against him.
Now giving Summerell hearing is
all well enough. But how about the
other side of the question:? If evidence
on one side is heard evidence oil the
other side should be also. If the board
of directors are going to probe into this
disgrace let them go to the bottom of
it. The people want no Bill Day tricks
in this matter.
Let's have no white-washing. There's
been enough of it in North Carolina al
ready. If Mr.. Summerell courts an
he should have it, but it
should be thorough, searching, impair

WANDERING ON THE ISLAND.
Searching for Fifty of the Scotsman
Passengers.

Passengers.
Quebec. Sept 30.-Under orders from
Captain Skrinshire, all members of the
crew of the Scotsman drought up today
by the Grecian have been held under ar
rest to he searched. The Allen Liner
Grecian. with AZ of the passengers Of
the ill-fated Scotsman, arrived in port
today.
The people saved are in the most desti-
tute condition, hut they were more foe
tunate than those on the Moltfort, owing
to the fact that the Grecian had plenty
of provisions to feed them. The CAPTAIN
sent Efe-boat ashore and brought off
about thirty of the crew. The next boat
brought seventeen passengers, who We're
then at the lighthouse. EARLY an the
morning searching parties vert out to
gather i'm the stragglers. but they did
not meet with great success, as There
are perhaps forty or fifty still ON the
island, an scattered in parties of two or
three.
When the passengers and crew WERE
brought alongside they We're so weak
they We're unable to climb the ladder and
all had to be hoisted on deck. Many Of
them as soon as they reached the Gre
clans deck fell, overcome with exiIans
ton and the relief of finding Il place of
safety. Captain Calvert says that never
i'm his life has he heard such terrible
tales of suffering or seen such pitiable
sights. He is of the opinion mat there
will be many deaths ON the island UNI
less immediate relief reaches there.
Walter White, of Cressington Park,
Liverpool, passenger ON the Scotsman.
is of the opinion there have already been
seven or eight deaths. Some one told
Mr.. White that he had seen two bodies,
and the second mate of the Scotsman
says that he buried one woman IN the
moss. Mr.. White says that Judging
from the exhausted condition in which
many were after their terrible struggle
along the rocks he lis of the opinion that
a good nglmber will de. There is a very
small chance of rescue, as the different
persons are scattered over the whole
island.
A revised list of those drowned by
the wrecking of the steamship Scots
man shows that II lives were lost.
Another, a Miss Sketon, is in doubt,
but nothing definite can be ascertained
relative TO her.
