|BUFFETTED
BY STORMS.
Seamen Receive Severe
Injuries Aboard the
Schooner Sherman.

The storm beaten schooner A. B. Sher-
man, from Savannah, January 25, made q
frantic race to Philadelphia that an iniur.
cd member of her crew might receive
medical attention. She arrived at Reed
street wharf early yesterday morning, an d
the victim, Frederick Clark, Of Baltimore
whose left log had been broken in wild
hurricane while on a voyage, was removed
to st. Agnes Hospital The physicians
pronounced his condition as critical from
tho fact that he remained SO long without
tho care his Injury required.
Captain Johnson, OF the Sherman, de-
scribes his voyage as the most pcrilous in
his experience For days and days the
schooner was buffeted by winds which
mOmentarily threatened to dismast her,
and she WAS repeatedly thrown on her
beam ends. Captain johnson said:
ION February 2, while thu gale was at
Its height, srch sails as the Sherman was
Obliged to spread were reduced to ribbens.
1t was on that day that Clark was injur-
ed by Icing SWEPT violently against deck
house. He was in great agony aud our
facilities to afford him relief wero limited
in the extreme"
The reckonin had been lost In the storm
and the captain did not know tho position
of tho schooner. He had cleared for Bal
timore, but when tho weather became
such that an observation wa, possible no

entrance to the Chesapeake

tho injured man CAPTAIN johnson lost no

Of the Sherman was spread to tho wind

When tho tall lighthouse was sighted
at Cape May the tug Somers NJ. Smith, re-
turning to Philadelphia from u cruise, af-
ter darilect along the coast, was sighted,
and she was at once engaged to tow the
Sherman to the city.
Tho battered schooner bears mute wit,
ness to the fury Of the elements. Her
decks are Uttered with wreckage and her
men bruised sand exhausted by their long
struggle.
Mats Peter Henderson, of Baltimore is
probably the most seriously injured of tho
crew but refused o go to the hospital for
treatment. He suffered dislocation of
both ankles, which were set on shipbonrd.

WON HIS

ROssi Was Granted Exc
cutive Clemency Be-
cause of the Efforts - -
of His Wife.

Trenton, Feb. 70 On pardon gran ed
by President Mckinley, Frank Rcssi has
just been released from the State Prison.
A pretty story of wite's devotion lies
behind his release, for it was duo to Mrs.
Rossi's pleadings and persistent efforts in
her husbands behalf that he gained his
liberty.
Rossi was arrested in Hoboken in 1897
for passing counterfeit quarters, Judge
kirkpatrick sentenced him to five years
hard labor in State Prison, and fine of
5000. His wife, with her two children
moved to Trenton soon after Rossi was
incarcerated. SO rs to be closer to him.
Mrs Rossi, who had been III the count

imprisoned. could speak little English. and
being ILL., she found 1t difficult to make
even u sCant living.
One child died II year or more ago from
lack of proper nourishment. All the time
Mrs. Rossi was making determined Ell
fort to secure her husbands freedom, and
although meeting wish little encourage

Finally former Senator Cranmer, clerk
of tho United States District Court. he

State Lodge A, O. U. W.

The convention of the Delaware
Grand Lodge, Ancient Order of
|. United Workmen will convene at
Dover tomorrow and the session
will last three days. Deeper inter-
est is manifested in this session
than there has been for years.
The Grand Medical Examiner re-
Gently announced that he favored
closer examination by the examing
physicians. There are some classes
of men in his opinion should be de-
barred fIom membership. A rail-
road brakeman or powder maker is
in greater danger than a saloon
keeper or his bartender. Legisla-
ton upon that subject will likely be
adopted. The finance committee
has suggestion to bring before
the convention in regard. to sur
plus fund. The committee favors
having a surplus Of $50. 900 on hand.
That legislation cannot be adopted
by the Grand Lodge. The Lodge
can make that recommendation to
the National Lodge and then should
that body favor the movement it
will become Il law but not other.
wise.
Another matter that is likely to
cause some interesting discussion
is that of asking for an increased
territory. In Chester and Delaware
counties at present there is mem-
bership of only 800, Leading menu
bers of the Order in Delaware be-
lieve that at least $500 new MEM
bers can be secured in the two adj
joining counties. The matter OF
the Workman Journal is likely to
be considered as it is claimed that
considering the benefits derived by
the editor he should give more lodge
news. The people OF Dover are in
tercstcd in the workings Of the diff
ferent lodges. The other lodges
are interested in the Dover lodge.
More local news isnccdcd to replace
the reprint from other Jurisdictions.
According to the specific ations there
ought to be more cuts of leading
Workmen. Delaware has over 5000
members at present and intends to
increase its membership But in
some lodges there is a spirit of re-
ligious bigotry and as a result the
men who otherwise would Join the
local lodge are compelled to Join
i'll other places or stay out of the
fold. Only last week highly re-
spectacle young man applied to 4
member OF Friendship Lodge and
asked him to propose his name for
membership. The member 50 ap-
pcalcd to told the young man that
would gladly do so but as they were
close friends advised him to send up
his application. lie knew the young
man would be obliged to pay SIS
examination fec and then be black
balled There are three or four
men in the lodge said to be opposed
to men of 4 certain religious faith.
The member of Friendship Lodge
accordingly is willing TO give a let
ter TO this Young man in order that
the committee of a lodge in Will
may feel satisfied that the
new member is all right.
Tho law may be changed 30 that tho
members crsling the black balls must
