distress. The Manhassett changed
her course and bore down on the little
craft, which proved to be the boat
which had been launched from the
Crazy. Only ten of the men aboard
her were alive, and they were almost
helpless as result of their exposure
to rigorous weather. Saturday night
one man became crazed by his suffer
ings, and, shouting at the top of his
voice that the police were after him,
he jumped overheard and disappeared.
Four other members of the little boats
company died from exhaustion and
the exposure to which they had been
subjected.
Terrible suherfngs of Men.
All the survivors were frost-bitten
and some of them will probably have
to have their feet and hands ampu'
tated.
The Manhassett came into the harbo1
early Monday morning, showing sig
nails for assistance, and by the time
she arrived at wharf ambulances
were ready to transfer the sailors to
the hospital. Only six OF the men
could be removed, however. The other
four were in such critical condition
that it was deemed impossible that
, they could survive being taken from
the vessel.
Two of the men on the Manhassett
are Capt. w. 81. Potter, of the Louise
B. Crary, and Capt. P. S. kawling, OF
the Frank A. Palmer. The other two
men are sailors, both of whom are
raving maniacs.
The men taken to the hospital were
not only in critical condition phys,
ically, but they were in such a men
tai blight that nothing could be learned
from them as to their experience.
Of the 81 men carried by both yes.
sells, ten comprised the crew of the
Palmer and II that of the Crary. Oh
those WHO escaped eight were from
the Palmer and seven from the Crazy
F: Among those lost from the Crary
was Mate James E. Smith.
" Capt. Potter revived later in the
day, and was removed to a hospital
He said the Crary was to blame fol-
the collision, Mate Smith having dis
obeyed orders in, not reporting the
nearness Of the Palmer. g. e.

Scores Big Financial Triumph.

Governor jennings Administration
Scores Big Financial Triumph.
A Tallahassee, Fla, dispatch says:
Whatever else may be said Of Cover
nor Jennings administration, 1t mas, al
least succeeded in materially increas
ing the revenues Of the state. Ihe
last achieve ment in this direction was
the passage of the old Indian war
claim bill with which one congress al
ter another has struggled in vain.
The passage of this measure at the
nresent session was secured by incor
porating it in the omnibus bill-a step
which will add something like 100000
to the states resources. Already the
newspaper fraternity throughout Flor
ida is busily engaged in spending the
money in advance.
Il is however, much to be regretted
that so much misapprehension should
nreyail as to the manner in which the
proceeds of this claim are to be dis
posed of. AS a matter OF fact, the
money will go into the general fund OF
the state, subject to the action OF tn
legislature, and as for the old Indian
war warrants, upon which so many in
diyiduals are now pinning hopes that
can never be realized, it is a we'll
known fact that they were long since
outlawed.
Florida's Indian war claim is based
directly upon the money expended oy
the state in the suppression OF hoStll'
ties during the Seminole OUTBREAK
while the warrants in question were
not issued until 1861.

raignment. A..;

Under the caption, "A Death Head
at the Feast" Henry Watterson, edt-
tor, has the following to say in The
Louisville Courier-Journal regarding
Grover Cleveland's harmony" speech
at the Tilden Club banquet in New
York:
THE democratic party is not SO rich
either in leadership or in position OF
strategic advantage that it can aiord
to reject good counsel from any quar-.
ter, but surely it has the right to draw
the line on Grover Cleveland.
"To Grover Cleveland's insuficiency,
to use no harsher term, 1t owes its
undoing.
"He found the party, what Mr.. TIE
den had made it, q moral unit, great
compact body Of fighting men and
that, having twice betrayed 1t, for his
own selfish ends-he left 1t leaderlesS
and divided to the mercy Of the WINDS
and waves Of factionism, called into
being by his own lack Of generosity
and foresight. e.
HE, literally, held Carlisle whilst
Carlisle's enemies skinned him. But
later along, when sacrifcial nominal
ton was In issue, he was prompt even
voclferous, In his refusal to consider
it. In a word, he was receptive can-
didate for fourth nomination.
1T seems q kind If irony that II

Mr.. Cleveland's baleful re-entry into
political activities. Mr.. Tllden died
with words of scorn and contempt
upon his lips for Grover Cleveland. He
understood perfectly the coarse ter.

mental makeup, his obtuse selfshness,
his ignorant obstinacy, his vulgar SELF
assertion, his indefatigable duplicity.i
THAT Mr.. Cleveland should put him.

leader is proof OF a self-conhdence
which would be sublime II 1t were not

Died Amonq Strangers.

An air of mystery has developed
in Charleston over the identity of c
x. Smith, in charge Of the American
Steel and Wire Company's exhibit at
the exposition, who died suddenly a
few days ago.
When it was seen that he was seri-
ouly i'll friends of the young man asked
him to give them the address of his pa
rents in order that they might be mott
fed of his condition. Smith declined
to give this information. His friends
urged him to talk, but he would not
and died with his secret.
When telegrams were sent to the
New York headquarters of the COM
pany the answer came that nothing
was known in that establishment Of
Smiths family connection. He began
work with the company at the Paris
exposition and was put in charge OF
the entire display at Buffalo and
Charleston.
The steel and wire company instruct
ed the local representatives to spare
no expense in the funeral, but Smith
was buried among strangers with hi
secret untold.

Fought Braveiy For Life-EIdcst
Brother Succeeds to Throne.
King Albert of Saxony died at Dres-
den Thursday night. He left no chill
dren,. and Prince deorge, his eldest
brother, succeeds to the throne Of Sax
ony.
The death of the king brings 70 a
close one of the most determined and
extraordinary fights 70: life against
long odds which has ever been known
in history. The kings case was de-
clared hopeless by his physicians sew
eral weeks ago, and they have an
nounced more than once that he could
not possibly live for more than a few
hours. Each time, however, he rallied.
About a week ago the royal physi-
slams announced that the end was
near. The bishop was summoned to
the bedside and the last rites OF the
church were administered to the king
While his MAJESTY was surrounded by
the members of his household who
were awaiting the end, he suddenly sat
up in bed, called for cigar and an
nounced that he was ready to attend to
affairs of state.

Careless Handling of lye.

Five deaths have occurred In and
around Beaufort in the past few years
from the careless handling OF concen-
trated lye by the parents Of children.
Only a day or two ago negro child
about two years of age, living near
Beaufort was taken to the office OF a
physician by its parents in the hope
CT saving it's life from the effects OF
swallowing concentrated lye, which
was consumed in infantile ignorance.
The usual autidote was administered,
but no hope is entertained for the
child's recovery.
The physician expressed the opinion
that legislative restriction should be
placed upon the sale of this deadly pol
son to persons too ignorant to realize
the danger of placing it within the
reach of children.
