a DRAMATIC DEATH.
FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE
DROWNING OF CAPTAIN FAR
ROW

The dramatic death of Captain Fred.
Farrow. OF the barge Cllntonia, which
occurred Thursday afternoon through
the overturning and sinking OF his
life boat. near to and while approach
ing his vessel. was the subject of much
talk in shipping circles yesterday, the
unusual circumstances attending the
sad event. in the witnessing OF his
drowning by his wife. who was await
ing his return from shore, the sinking
of the boat and fruitless attempts at
finding the body Investing the circum-
stance with a melancholy interest.
Much speculation is rife as to the
cause OF drowning, and the failure of
the body to rise after the first sinking.
it being surmised by some that in cap
sizing some part of the boat may have
struck Captain Farrow and dazed him
so that he chung to the boat and sunk
with 1t, still keeping his hold and so
drowning and remaining Mt the bot
tom. Other theories are advanced, but
nothing is known for certain. and the
body has not been found. His vessel
was anchored on the edge of West Nor
folk flats, and though several saw the
upset, none could get to the rescue in
time.
Mrs. Farrow was Frustrated by the
death of her husband, the fact that
she stood on the deck of the vessel to
welcome him on his return and was
thus witness of his accident, struggle
and death without being able to offer
aid. of itself was sufficient to account
for this. Her condition yesterday was
said to be somewhat improved. but it
will be some time before she fully re-
covers. She will remain here n few
days in hope of recovering her hus-
bands body. The Captain and his wife
resided in New York.
The body of young Mr.. Forrest, lately
drowned by falling overheard from a
barge in the same locality. has not
been found and search has been given

a Postum and Bear
Though they'd like a share
OF O. honey mine In n tree,
And they both did swear
That they did not care
A. fig for it's owner the Bee;
SO they plotted deep
How they'd make sweep
On the tree in the midst OF night;
How they would not stop
Till they had each drop

But Cricket spry.
Who CHANGED near by,
Heard all of their words so bold,
And he straight did HE
To his Bee ally
And all of the plotting told.
In the dark of night, -
BY fire-fly's light,
The Postum and Bear picked their
way,
And they scratched at the bark
or the treasure ark,
While the Cricket chirped on his lay;
But the day before,
at the Frogs drugstore,
The Bee had bought a peck
OF good quinine-
Twas something fine
And sure to have effect
Now this he spread
Right at the head
or his richest honey vein;
And he yelled with glee,
He could easily see
The end. twas very plain.
After labor long,
With claw and prong,
The Postum and Bear at last
An entrance made;
With glee they swayed
AT sight Of 'swag' so vast.
Each took a bite,
Not very light.
And then went on to swallow;
Upon my word,
You never heard
Another such q hollo!
With snort and growl,
And dismal howl,
AT a bound they cleared the thIcket:
Then the Bee came out,
Gave a long. glad shout,
Aid then shook hands with the Cricket

transferred from Messrs. Gill e Thomas

run all night. This enlargement of the
facilities for communication between

With the new schcdul" in operation
the foot ferries will be deprived of

THE WORST GALE
IN MANY YEARS

Boston, Feb. "a bowling northeast
snow storm prevailed on the bay and
along the Massa chusetts coast the past
"a hours. A three -masted schooner, name
unknown, is reported wrecked off Nam
tasket beach. The Hull life saving crew
have sent out a boat. At the present
writing it is not known whether or not
the vessels crew are still alive. The
ferryboat slips were under water, and
passengers had to wade for it.
The storm played havoc along the
Lynn and Swampscott shores. The ex-
ceptionally high tides swept away all
buildings and demolished yachts and
other small craft lying on the shore at
Kings Beach, in SwamDscott. At Lynn
at high tide the water went consider
able distance up New Washington street,
flooding the cellars of several residences
and making car and freight traffic diff
cult. 1t demolished Sc, 900 worth of stone

Down on Cape Cod a bowling north

vember on the awful night when the
steamer Portland went down with all on
board, ragged all day. No wrecks have
yet been reported, but great anxiety is
felt for the safety of shipping, as it is
believed the storm is even worse off
shore in the track of vessels. None of
the lightships could be seen, and it was
impossible to learn whether the Pollock
Rip lightship was holding to its moorings

Leadville. Col, Feb. 9.--Nothing but the
most heroic efforts on the part of the
railroads entering Leadville will prevent
the fires from dying in the smelter stacks
and under the boilers of the mines that
are forced to pump constantly and in
which the drawing of the pumps would
cost months of time and enormous sums
of money. Seven cars of coal remain for
the pumping association that is unwater-
ing the downtown. mines and aside from
these, the bin of every coal dealer in the
city is practically empty. There has been
a continuous snow, storm with few short
intermssons in the vicinity of Leadville
for Is days. The provisions are running
short in Breckenridge and kokomo which
are shut off from communication from
the outside world by rail. In KokOmo
