YACHT FOURsoME WRECKED.
Schooner Alice Col1tdes With the Little
Craft and Sinks Her in the Harbor.

The little yacht ''Foursome" which
in Southern waters on next Monday,
will probably never make the proposed
trip, for this morning she was run
into by the schooner Alice and the tug
Pindervi11e, and as a result she has
sunk to the waters edge.
The accident occurred shortly after
nine o'clock. The little craft had been
moored III the harbor along the docks
near the old mill The schooner Alice
in tow of the tug Prindervi11e, of the
| Chicago Tow Co., was making an
effort to pass through the draw to the
Allen docks. All her canvas was up,
and as the two boats were directly OPP
posite the yacht, sudden rise in the
wind threw the heavy Alice directly
against the sides of the Foursome.
The yacht was crushed in between the
docks and the side of the schooner.
| Great holes were broken in each side
of the pleasure boat, and she at once
began to sink. She was so badly dam
aged that it was with great deal of
! trouble that the owners of the boat
managed to save the material and
! equipment which was stored in the
cabin. AS soon as the Alice had been
towed to her docks, an effort was made
to save the little boat, but it seems that
she is hopeless wreck.
! The loss from the accident which
will fall upon the tug in which the
Alice was in tow will be large and one
of the owners of the Foursome stated
. that the loss would be little over
/ So, 500. The Foursome was the prop
! erty of a company consisting of Guy
Simmons, John Keh1or, B. F. Windsor
and Richard We11es. The boat has
just been rebuilt throughout at a great
expense to the young men. The en-
gins of the boat were removed at once
after the accident and it is not thought
they are badly damaged. The trip to
! New Orleans on which the young men
were to start on Monday has been in
definitely postponed.

At the meeting this morning large
amount of routine work was transact
ed. Various bills were received and
referred to the different committees for
examination and report.
The report of the County Treasurer
was presented by the deputy and show
ed the finances of the county to be IN a
healthy condition, showing balance
in the treasury of over $8, 900.
The Board also took up very inter
esting subject III regard to the care of
the dependent children, which are lett
to the care of the county. 1t has been
the practice during the past few years
to send all such cares upon the county
to the state school at Sparta, but it is
probable that at this meeting some
change will be made in this regard.
Rev. Charles D. Merrill. of Be1oit,
superintendent of the Chi1dren's Home
Society of Wisconsin, appeared before
the Board and requested that the board
allow bill of 500 for the care of eight
Chi1dred who had been taken from this
city to the Be1oit home during the
past year. The children were all de-
pendents and Mr.. Merrill stated that
he had been able to find homes for all
of them and that they had been adop-
ted by people in different parts of the
state.
This work of Mr.. Merrill met with
great favor with the Board and COM
mittee was appointed consisting OF
Supervisors Charles, Speige1hoff, Nor
in, Eng1ehardt and O'Donnen to con-
fer with Mr. Merrill in regard to the
home taking care of all children de-
pendent of the county's bounty. In
speaking of the work of the society
Mr.. Merrill explained the aims of the
institution as follows:
/. To find and obtain the legal
guardianship of every homeless child
in the State.
2. To find every good family in the
State that wants child.
8. To place these homeless children
in these family homes.
4. To keep supervision over these
children till their ma jority and pre-
vent abuse or neglect.
5. To secure their property interests
by careful legal service and by full
and careful records.
6. To replace in another home in
case of death of adopting parents.
Z. To save these chi1eren from pau
perism and crime, and thus to save the
State from the grievous burden of tax
alton for their future care, and from
the danger of a debased citizenship
arising from neglected childhood.
The plan of sending the children to
the home at Be1oit instead of the State
school at Sparta has been endorsed by
many of the County Boards in the
State, and all of these Boards seem to
be of the opinion that it is the most
humane as well as the best and most
i economical way of caring for the de-
pendent children of the commonwealth.
AS to the financial end of the work, it
is said that the proposition of Mr.. Mer-
ri11 will include the taking of the chill

Obituary.

A telegram received yesterday by 3.

death of Mrs. Roswell Park, at Leban-
on, New Hampshire. About four
weeks ago she was called from her
home in Buffalo, N. z, by the sick

terrible shock to her family and
friends.
The schooner Alice came in this
morning with a load of tan bark.

SILVER rs SCARCE.
fractional Currency is Hard to Get at
Local Banks.

Fractional silver is as scarce here as
at other places and there seems to be
no relaxation in the demand. 1t is
stated that ali the current and defaced
coins have now been coined up and the
treasury is now at the end of it's re
sources. When Secretary Gage took
hold in March, 1897, he had SO, 100000
in subsidiary coin. That sum has
steadily declined, until now there is
less than So, 900, 900 in the possession of
the treasury, and this is scattered over
the country. The demand for small
coins continues from all sections, and
there has been found no authority of
law to purchase bullion to supply the
demand. There will be a scarcity Of
small change until congress acts.

THE CHARGES NOT PROVED.
Malicious Reports About Patent Of.
flee Clerks Without Truth.

The charges against Mrs Lizzie Robin
son. a clerk in the Patent Office, and Ex-
aminer Hains of improper conduct cannot
be proved. Charges were preferred by the
Commissioner of Patents and investiga-
tions have been going on for several weeks
and many witnesses examined.
The colored laborer who made the ac-
cusation was cross examined by the ac-
cused, but could not be made 10 change
his statement. Examiner Hams denied
the charges and brought forward witnesses
TO prove that he was not in the building
at the time specified. and the unsupported
testimony of the Iaborer was insufficient
to prove him guilty, so the charges were
dropped. IL seems that Hams was en-
gagged 10 marry Mrs. Robinson and without
her knowledge, he married some one else.
She did not learn Of the fact till about a
year afterward and was then very angry
and said many bitter things against him.
Considerable sympathy IS felt in the depart
ment for Ms. Robinson. 1t is not known
what the recommendation of the Commits
sioner of Patents VIII be in the case, but
II Is quite certain that Hams will resign,
and IL is said that Mrs Robinson will rot
continue in the Patent Office.

CONCORD STREET IN BAD FIX.
Commissioners Unable to Ofcl
BrOOlSland Citizens Relief.

Commissioners Unable to Offer
BroolSIand Citizens Relief.
The Brookland Citizens Association has
complained to the Commissioners of the
condition Of Concord Street between Elev-
enth and Thirteenth Streets, and they ask
that the highway be improved. 1t is as
serted that the street has not been
graded nor graveled, and is in such bad
condition that traffic is well-nigh impos-
sible.
The complainants refer to an incident
which occurred some time ago when the
horse of a poor laborer of Brookland had
to be shot because it had broken 0ne OF
its legs in the quagmire. The matter was
referred to C. B. Hunt, Computing En-
gineer of the District, who reported that
there was no specific appropriation for
improving the street and that the funds
for repairing roads could not be legally
applicable for the work.
The Computing Engineer admitted that
the circumstances referred to in the COM
plant OF the citizens association were
substantially correct, but. the only action
that the Commissioners could take would
be to advise that practical relief might be
afforded by the presentation of largely
representative petition for curb and
sidewalk. in which event it was probable
the Roadway improvement would be justi-
fed

Ten Years in the Penitentiary for

Ten Years in the Penitentiary for
WreckInE Car.
The jury in the Lee Gaskins trial in
Alexandria county, Va, yesterday re-
turned a verdict of guilty and the prisoner
was sentenced to ten, years in the peni-
tentiary. Gasklns was indicted for wreck
ing an electric car on the Washington and
Falls Church road last October. The trial
yesterday was the second one given him.
In the former trial he was convicted and
the case was appealed, the higher court
reversing the decision of the lower court
upon the grounds of an error in the indict-
ment in failing TO state that the act was
with malicious intent. Sandy James, who
was with Gaskins when the car was wreck
ed, and party to the crime, will be placed
on trial today
