SHlPWREcK EXPERIENCE.
More Than a Month AGrift I'm Wa
terIogged Ship and Open Boat.


terIogged Ship and Open Boat.
NEW YORK, Nov. 7.---Twenty-seven
Us on waterlogged ship, working
tinuously to keep her from sinking,
i ten days afioat for 1,450 miles in
1; heavy sea in an open boat before
tEey reached land, were the terrible
experiences of ten men and woman
who have just arrived in this port
from Trinidad,
The woman was the wife Of Captain
Kay of the British bark Florence b.
Edgett. The men were the captain
and his crew of nine.
With the lack Of observation peculiar
to seamen, Captain Kay and his men
failed to record theiI experiences in de-
tail save in the brisest way. 1t does
not appear to occur to. them that to
drift on the ocean for more than. a
month, nearly all the time within
sight of the beaten path Of steam
ships and not to be observed, was out
of the ordinary chance Of peril that
sailor takes.
II have made several voyages with
my husband" said Mrs Kay in relat-
ing their terrible experiences, ''but this
is the first time we ever had any trou-
bic. There was plenty Of warning Of
the storm that was our urdoing, but
we were not prepared for the severity
of it when it came on Sept. IS.
cit seemed to us that there We're vol
canoes erupting under the surface Of
the ocean. At times we were fairly
under water. During the first night Of
the storm / was dashed to a mast, pro-
tected to some extent by the deck load
of lumber. If it had not been for our
lumber cargo we would not have lived
out the storm.
The vessel was simply torn to pieces
inside. My trunks We're broken open,
and 1 lost my jewelry and clothes.
All our provisions were water soaked,
and salt water got into our fresh wa
ter making it almost unfit to drink.
Half the time while we were aboard
the ship the decks Were awash. We
remained on the ship for twenty-seyen
days without sighting sail.

His Good Record Saved Him on
Charge Of Assault

His Good Record Saved Him on
Charge Of Assault.
Patrick d. McGrath was before
Judge Burpee in the city court to-day
charged with intoxication and ass
saulting Officer j.. Mccarthy. Yes
terday afternoon the accused passed
the officer on Bank street in BROOKLYN
and struck at him with a black
smiths hammer The officer could
not explain why the assault was made
upon him, except that it was on ac-
count of little trouble they had
some seven years ago. Then the Of
lcer arrested the accused for selling
0 minors. At that time the accused
sept saloon. The officer knew of
10 other reason why McGrath should
attack him. Twice before he assaiIed
him, but not In such a msnner as this
time and he let the matter go by. But
this time the manner Of the assault
combined with the weapon used was
too significant Of the state OF feeling
of the accused toward him and he
could not afford to ignore it,
McGrath said he could not recall
any of the circumstances Of the as
sault. He did not recognize the ham
he got it. He was never arrested be-
fore for anything like this. He was
asked if he had been drinking and he
replied that he was celebrating the
Nection. He said he was fifty-seyen
ars of age. On account Of his good
record the court suspended sentence
upon the charge of assault and inn
posed fine of $40 and costs on the
charge of intoxication.
John Delaney, charged with intoxi-
cation, was let go. the case being con
tinued for 30 days. Sentence was
also suspended upon Morris Kornof-
ski, charged with assaulting a young
fellow named John Pace. The affair
occurred on Spring street and the
cause was a loaf Of hard bread, which
in the estimation of the accused the
complainant was wasting.
A complaint against John Turgeon
for. breach Of the peace was settled
for So and complaint against Luigi
Ricciardi for breach of the peace was
nolled.

Fire Insurance in Vermont.

The Insurance Press, in reviewing
fire insurance statistics for the past
year, contains this about Vermont &:
THE Green Mountain state is not
a profitable field for fire insurance
companies. During the last 20 years
the fire losses have eaten up 20 per
cent of the premium receipts. That
means a net loss on fire underwriting
operations and explains the disap-
pearance of the three Vermont com
panies which have suspended bust
ness. Expense charges commissions
to agents, taxes, expense of adjusting
losses, and general expense) call for
about 35 per cent of the premiums,
So that whatever loss ratios exceed
65 per cent of the premiums, the pos
sibility of profit on the fire insurance
business, as a whole, ceases. The
cost to the insurance companies OF
fire underwriting operations in Yer
mont for the 20.year period ending
with 1900 was about $105 against
every 500 taken in premiums.

had been in poor health a long time,

from heart trouble. She was SO years
old. Besides her husband, she is sur.
vived by a father and a mother, two
sisters, Mrs. Chas. Holbrook and Mrs.
Will Kellogg, and two brothers, Martin
and Palmer Blake. In July, 1896, she
married Herman L. Bryant, at Lowell,

Many pleasant comments were
made concerning the repairs made
upon the court house, within and
without; convenient, colnmodious
and pleasant throughout, Judge,
Bar and Jury, as well as all having
business therein, can transact the
same much better than under the
old inconvenience. Twas good
investment all around, say all.
Judges Morse and Thomas, the
two best looking Associate Judges
the county ever had, gave close at
tention to their duties all through the
term. They were solemn and wise
on the bench and good-natured and
jovial when released from the strenu-
Gus duties of court. They are all
right and nothing but good words
are heard concerning either of them.
The young attorneys for the State
made able arguments in the Stygles
case. 1t was Bicknell's maiden eff
fort" and he spoke for fifteen min
utes with the earnestness and zeal of
Webster. States Attorney Cheney,
who is getting over his youthfulness,
held the attention of the Jury for
fifty minutes, while he expounded
the merits of the case with an ear
nestness equal to that of an old-time
attorney.
Judge Start, in all the cases
brought before him, maintained his
reputation for fairness and justice
to all. He has a pleasant and
strong way in charging jury, and
in disposing of cases, does so to the
satisfaction of attorneys on either
side. The Judge is admired by the
bar for these qualities as well as for
his social and genial ways. He has
warm place in the hearts of La
noble county people.
Geo. w. Gale, indicted for shooting
the Fisk boy at Stowe last summer,
pied guilty. He was sentenced to
the Vermont Industrial School until
81 years of age. Execution was
stayed and he was committed to
care Of Probation Officer Stevens,
who will allow him to remain at
home during good behavior, The re-
port of the Probation Officer in this
case was a most thorough one and
it was upon his suggestion that the
case is thus disposed Of The boys
parents feel very sorely over the en-
tire matter and the people of Stowe
as well as the county are satisfied
with the decision reached by the
court.
