0jsmantled Bark.

Halifax, N. S., April 26.-The brig Ed
ward D., from Porto Rico. arrived here
today with news of a disaster at sea,
having passed a waterlogged, abandon
ed and partially burned bark nearly 500
miles from Halifax. Capt. McClain re-
ports sighting the derelict at o'clock
on the afternoon OF the 9th inst. in lat

was badly s---,tered throughout, and
her stern had disappeared. having APP
parently been destroyed by fire. The
foremast, miZZenmast maintop, mizzen
and maintop and the topgallant were
gone and the forward house had been
washed away. The mainmast was
standing, but the main yard was in a
swinging position. What sails had not
been torn completely away were flap
ping in shreds.
The vessel was so thoroughly water
logged that IL must have been a cargo
OF lumber which kept her afoat. The
Edward ID. sailed around the wreck TO
see If there was anybody on board, but
there was no. sign of life. Owing 10

AT the NORTH END.
Democratic Politicians Talk Of Ward Committee
Notes From Capitol Hill.

Local politicians Of Democratic ten
dencies are beginning TO talk up the
new ward committees in wards Three
and Ten. They talk small politics IN
the former ward nearly all the year.
but the talk grows little warmer as
June approaches. The questionable ac-
tions Of certain members OF the ward
committee and allies at the last caucus
for the nomination OF alderman and
counciimen Is not forgotten and while
that action was rebuked by the election
ofsSouncilman Sheahan there are many
who believe that the men who played
with loaded eice against man VINO
had always been a consistent Democrat
as well as a faithful guardian of the
public interests should be permanent
ly retired. There are many who say,
however, that Mr.. Loyetts grip on the
machine is so firm that he can not De
set aside. The feeling on Smiths Hill
is in favor of the election OF commit
tee favorable to the denomination or
Alderman West and Councilman Mol
10y. Alderman West has given salts
faction to the property owners or the
ward and as a Democrat is satisfactory
TO that class or voters.

"You will probably read lot of stnS
about me In various newspapers, but I
can assure you that / am all right and

he is a very inoffensive sort of a young
fellow about 10 years. i am not king.
but just plain boss OF the ranch The
German consul had that position up 10
my arrival, but since then he has been
a very silentApartner. / am afraid he
does not like me-in fact l am not at
all popular here with the Germans. But
am all right with the English and hope
to pull through with them. / have no
doubt of being sustained by the gov
ernment in all 1 have done. i hope TO
