AL ON BOARD WERE lost
TWO-MASTED SCHOONER, OF
THREE THOUSANDS TONS,
BROKEN TO PIECES.
HER BOW SUNK UNDER WATER
And the After-Half Blazing F~iercely.
A Terrific Gale Blew all of Thurs
day Night and Yesterday, Render
ing Impossible the Escape of
Anyone orr Board.

ST. JOHNS, N. F., January 81 a.
m.-The following comprise all the de-
tails regarding the wreck in ST. Mary's
Bay that could be obtained up to mid
night:
The ship is a two-masted steamer of
nearly 5000 tons and probably carried
a e of sixty, with possibly some pas
sengers. She went ashore before day
break on Thursday, striking a ledge at
the foot of the cliff, where escape was
hopeless. The crew launched the boats
but probably during the panic some
We're crushed against her sides, others
being swamped and all the occupants
apparently perishing.
The ship was seen to be on fire by
residents six miles away. Attracted to
the scene they found the after half Of
the wreck blazing fiecely and the fore
part under water. Kerosene in the
cargo helped the blaze.
At that time only three men were
left on board. Two were on the bridge
and n was in the rigging. Those on
the gridge were safe until about 2 p.
m, when they were washed overheard
and drowned, the bridge being carried
away. The survivor soon after left the
endeavored to get a footing. Failing in
this he made his way back to the rig
ging, where he dice of exposure during
the night.
Many dead bodies are visible tossing
in the surf. Two of them thrown up
in a GOV cannot be reached owing to
the heavy sea. One is thought to be
that Of a woman.
Boats and other wreckage are strewn
among the rocks for miles. Yesterday
(Friday) was more stormy than the
day before; and it was impossible to
reach the wreck which has gone to
tieces to such an extent that it has
sunk beneath the waves. A severe
gale is raging tonight which is likely
to reduce her to fragments.
There is not the slightest prospect
that a soul on board escaped death, as
the intense mid-winter cold would kill
any who escaped drowning.
A messenger who has just arrived
from Peters river reports that a trunk
filled with women's clothing has been
washed ashore there, as well as a gar
ment which is either a waterproof cape
such as used by a woman, or a mans
o~vereoat. Nearby was found some I'M
derwear. evidently a mans. marked
with the initials 81. j." This seems to
indicate that the ship had passengers.

CUMBERLAND, Md, January H.
Victor Reynolds Is lying fatally
wounded at his home in this city, hav-
ing received a bullet in his back which
George Mccormick intended for his
own wife.
Mccormick has been jealous OF his
wife and went home this morning in
company with Reynolds. AS DON as

to his wife: 81 am going to kill you"
He then placed his arm about her neck
and fired. The ball grazed the wo-

neck. Badly wounded though he was.
Reynolds grappled with Mccormick
and prevented him from killing his
wife and baby.
He shot twice at the woman as she

his escape. Reynolds is the son Of ex-

The affair occurred in the southern

they refuse to make it public.

PARIS, January 12.-An eccentric old
American Woman, known at the United

twenty years under the name of Lady Liv-

nary circumstances, leaving a large for

She always dressed Enthusiastically, but lived

pooh on a prominent bank for a very large
sum, the exact amount of which the Off

found indicate that the correct name of
the deceased was Maria L. Livingstone,
and that she was so years old There was
no evidence of foul play. The body has
been embalmed and placed in a mortuary
chapel and the consul-general is making
efforts to locate her heirs.

The Cramblett murder case is still on

of Cramblett told Hall about it being
there, seeming to want to wash his
hands of it's final disposal. The father,
it is said, will be the only n Cramb-
lett can depend on for an alibi. 1t is
given out that the fact that Cramb-
lett ordinarily shot right handed, and
not cross-fre as the murderer shot,
will be used as a defense, though the
State has been guarding against get

witnesses to prove that he could and

WHEELING. " Va SATURDAY.. JANUARY 49, 1900

Once a week we get potatoes. Happily
we are now allowed to buy whatever we
please, so we have been able to organ
lie a mess, and our menu is reinforced
by bacon, porridge, preserved vege-
tables, potted meats, pickles and tobac-
co. Each day we send out u orders
and the things come later. OF course
when taken prisoners we had only what
was on our persons, so we had to pur-
chase many necessities, such as
sponges, soap, toothbrushes, hair brush
es and combs. The Transvaal govern
ment, however, has given to each of US
an iron bedstead, with mattress and pill
low, a pajama suit, slippers, flannel
shirt, pocket handkerchiefs, towels,
socks, etc. We also received ready
made suits, as our khaki uniforms were
too much worn.
1--WE officers live in a large building
that was formerly used as a school
house. The men are still kept on the
race course. We are certainly far
more comfortable than we were on the
race course, for this is a stone building
while on the race course are nothing
but zinc sheds. 1t is, however, not SO
warm as the race course prison. We
are not so much annoyed by flies, but
at night there are a good many mos
quitoes. We are guarded night M
day by a strong police force, although
none of us has any intention of try
ing to escape. We are surrounded by
iron palisades. Behind the house there
is a small grass plot, on which a lit
tie zinc hut has been erected to serve
as a kitchen.
Here tents have been put up for
servants. We were allowed to bring
ten men from the race course to act
for us. There are also tents for the
guard and a zinc hut which does duty
as a bathroom. We rise at half past
6 o'clock and indulge in a cold bath.
When | am dressed l walk around the
building eight times, which makes a
mile. At half past 8 we eat break
fast on porridge, bacon, sardines, but
ter, jams and tea or coffee. They give
us the tea and coffee and bread, and
the rest we buy. After breakfast we
generally read and smoke until lunch
time, at l o'clock, when we get beer,
bread, butter, jam and water. The
afternoon seems very long. At half
past 4 we have tea and at Z dinner.
After dinner some of us play whist or
chess, while others read. l generally
go to bed at half-past 8 o'clock. Our
checks are provided. They are count
ersigned by the senior officers and
cashed."

NEW YORK, January ia dis
patch to the Herald from Paris says:
The Figaro publishes a long letter
which an English officer, a prisoner Of
wal in Pretoria, has written to a mem
Der of his family. The writer says:
I'VE are completely u off from all
news of the outside world, and are not
allowed to see the newspapers. We
know, however, of Ladysmith being
bombarded. Here we are prisoners of
war, and l assure You it is a pitiful
condition. Sometimes l feel as if l
were going mad and wish l had been
shot. We had hoped we should be ex-
changed or released on parole, but the
Boer authorities do not appear to I'M
derstand what parole means, and seem
to think we would not keep u words.
As far as health goes, We are all
well and very well treated. We some
times receive visits from those in COM
mand at Pretoria-the secretary of
war, field comets. chief magistrate and
others. They are all very polite, but
are under the firm impression that
their prisoners are not well treated by
us, and they are convinced that our
troops use 'dum-dum' bullets.
AT first we we're nine officers pris-
oners and about $50 men, but the other
day u number was increased by 45
officehs, almost all officers of the Glou-
cester regiment and Royal Irish Fusil-
iers, with Col. Carleton, so that now we
are about 81 officers and 1.400 men.
I'm front of the building there is a
veranda on which we sit and watch the
people go by. The government gives
us canned beef. bread and water to
drink, and from hms TO time lime juica.
