crew was on deck. Capt. Smith, of the

them were conscious. Some suffered

While the crew We're being taken off
Capt. Smith noticed several bodies Of
men on the ships deck When the tug
made a second trip to the :ssale all
these corpses We're submerged The
ship had in the meantime drifted to the
Jersey shore and run in the mud off
the flats.

several men with their heads at the
port holes. They We're stuck fast and
could get neither in nor out. The ship
was gradually sinking. 1t was a ter

us in their own tongue to help them for
Gods sake. Their struggles were
lssomething frantic. We could do moth

vessel was living furnace. We tried
to get to the prisoners thru the port

tried to pun him thru, but it was a
futile effort can even now hear the

We heard the cries of others back OF

handed her small hose and she played
it about her state room for few min

Democratic Committee to Meet.

1t is understood that a meeting of
the democratic state executive COM
mittee will be called for the 18th
inst, at Charleston and that the time
and place for holding the next state
convention will then be fixed. 1t
seems to be the impression that the
convention will be called to meet at
an early day, probably in May or June
in order that there may be time fer
the aggressive, vigorous campaign
which it is proposed to make. George
i. Neal. one of the best organizers in
the state has been mentioned in con-

THE BEST OF
READING FOR
OLD AND YOUNG.

Few newspapers in the country have
better news facilities than "The Pitts
burg Post" A glance of its columns
day by day will convince even the most
casual reader that this is fact. 1t
covers the local, domestic and foreign
fields thoroughly. In addition to the
splendid service of the Associated
Press, ssThe Post" receives the news
of lie world collected specially by two
of the leading New York newspapers.
Thus not source Of news is left un-
covered.
The great success of "The Post" In
reporting the Spanish -American war
is being continued now that war has
been carried into Africa. 1.-THE Posts
dispatches from London and the seat
Of war are unequaled. Particular
praise should be given the cabled let
tiers Of /. n Ford, who so ably sizes
up the war situation each day.
Now that Congress is in session,
''The Post" may be expected to give
the most complete and interesting re-
ports from the National Capital. AL
ready the events are shaping them
selves for the presidential campaign
of 1900, and 1.-THE Post" is planning
to duplicate and then excel its Won
derful record OF 1896.
The great progress made by aThe
Sunday Post" in the last few years
has made IL one of the marvels of
modern journalism. It's half-tone
supplement is not surpassed anywhere
and is equaled by few magazines.
1t Is the cleanest family paper, and
its market reports are the latest and
most reliable.
Taken all in all the prospects OF
1.-The POST are of the brightest, and
its readers have every reason to be-
lieve they will fare better than ever
before.

Walter Lewellen son of Mrs. Will

weapon which inflicted the wound
was forty four caliber gun and the

and were swapping it under the I'M
preston that IL was not loaded,
Finally 1t exploded and made a ter

through both legs buried itself in the
floor from which it was dug after the
excitement had cooled down,
The wound while a very ugly one
will not prove to be very dangerous
and II blood poisoning does not set in
the youngster will be all right again
in the course of time.
DIR. Page A. Gibbons was called by
