SCHOONER'S dumb CREW
A Dog and Cat Left on a Ship
Struck by Liner.
ThS kaiscrin Maria Theresa Runs
Down n Fishing Vessel In Steam
Difficulty in the Heavy Sea-Com-
PEELED to Abandon the Animals.

NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-Drifting in the
steamship lane, perhaps 500 miles east
of Sandy Hook, is the two-masted Brit
ish fishing schooner Pavia, in command of
big Newfoundland dog, Watch. who has
as assistant navigator nameless cat.
Capt. C. W. Parkes, the master Of Watch
and the Pavia. got here to-day aboard the
iee-coated kaiserin Maria Theresa. The
skipper left his gold watch, 500 in cash.
and most of his belongings in the Payia,
but that loss did not concern HIM half
SO much as the abandonment Of Watch,
and he hopes that some kind-natured
man of the sea who may pass the Payia
Will rescue the big dog.
The sooner was on a voyage from Pla-
centia Bay, Newfoundland. to Boston. with
a cargo of frozen herring. She ran afoul
of bad weather. About 4 o'clock Friday
morning while she was plunging through
the sea on the starboard tack. Seaman
Wanbeack, who was at the wheel, saw
the masthead light of a steamship astern.
The helmsman shouted down the COM
panion way to the skipper, who came up
and found the lofty prov of the Kaiserin
close aboard. He called all hands. An
effort was made to yarn the steamship
OFF by showing flare light, but the torch
did not burn well.
Captain Richter, OF the Kaiserin. utilized
the ships twin screws to avoid the little
fore and-after. One propeller was re-
versed and the other kept going. The big
ship turned almost as II she were on 4
pivot. Her bow missed the schooner by a
few yards. but her stern, swerving swift
ly hit the Pavia on the port side. making
great gap in her Just abaft amidships, for
tunately above the water line.
The schooner's crew ran to the star
beard rail and held on, awaiting the shock.
When they got over it the liner was near
ly four miles away. Captain Parkes de-
cided tnat the Pavia's mast, unsupported
on the port side, would soon go by the
board, and he burned blue light, which
brought the steamship back to him. He
tried the pumps and found the schooner
was not making water II was bitterly cold,
and her rigging was badly iced up. Cap
tain Richter hailed Captain Parkes, and
asked him il he wanted to abandon the
ship. Captain Parkes said he did, and Cap
tain Richter called for volunteers to man
a Iifeboat.
Second Officer Tonni took charge of the
boats crew. and an effort was made to
lower a boat. The sea was so rough and
the liner rolled SO that Captain Richter
ordered Tonni to- give up the undertaking
unt.; daylight. The sea had moderated
somewhat then, and the boat was launched
1t went to leeward OF the schooner. and
Captain Parkes his brother. mate Daniel
Parkes, his cousin, Gabriel Parkes, and
three seamen jumped aboard.
Captain Parkes wanted Watch taken off
also but Second officer Tonni said he was
saving human life only. The dog was last
seen by his master scampering about the
deck and looking at tho disappearing life
boat. As the schooner Is sound of hull she
may drift many days. and Watch may yet
be rescued

NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-The strike of the
electrical workers, which has been in

successful had not Il knights of Labor

willing to work for less wages than the
strikers.
The fight continued, neither the bosses
nor the unions being satisfied until yes

bosses agreed to discharge all members OF

A PRIESTS STRANGE DEATH.
His Body Found in the Hallway of
n Philadelphia Flat.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan 6.-The Rev.
Charles Paul Riegel, rector of the Roman
Catholic Church of the Presentation at
Cheltenham. was the man who was found
dead early yesterday morning in the hall
way of the furnished room house at 460
North Eighth Street. His clothes had
been rifed Of everything of value, in
cluding gold watch and chain. his gold
sleeve buttons, and sum of money. His
overcoat was also gone and all marks Of
Identification removed from his per-
son. AS a consequence the body was
taken to the morgue, where 1t lay uni
Identified until today.
The circumstances surrounding Father
Riegel's death point strongly to murder.
Henry Brandt. clerk who lives in the
house where Father Riegel was found,
first discovered the body. AS he was going
to work at o'clock yesterday morning he
stumbled over the body in the hallway.
The clerical coat the priest wore was up
over his head, hiding his face; his collar
was off. and his vest open. He called ii. J.
Bechtel. the proprietor of the house, and
they carried the body out on the steps
and notified a policeman, who sent it to
the morgue.
Brandt said he believed the man had
been taken sick on the street, had gone
into the hallway to rest, and died there.
He disclaimed all knowledge OF the rob-
berry The police evidently took that view
of the case also. for no investigation was
made until today, when the body was
identified. When Father Riegel failed to
return to his parish last night or this
morning the Rev. Father NJ. F. Rooney.
his assistant, went to the house of the
superior believing he had spent the night
