Atlantic City, N. j., Jan. 21.-The
bark Abiel Abbott. Capt. Hawkins,
went aground one mile north of Ship
Bottom Light last night, and is fast
going to pieces. Five of her crew of
nine men We're picked up to-day by the
life savers. but it is believed the other
four members were killed by falling
wreckage.
The Abbott was bound from Turks
Island for New York. laden with salt.
Last night during the heavy weather
she lost her bearings and ran aground.
When she struck, the strain caused one
of her masts to fall. and 1t is thought
that four of her crew were either killed
by the wreckage or stunned and knock
ed overheard and drowned. The other
members were in a dying condition
when taken from the wreckage to-day
by the life savers. The Abbott will be
total loss.
Following is the list of those saved
from the schooner; Capt Isaac b.
Hawkins, Seamen James Butler, Otto
Berg, James Burns and Frank Leaven.
The last named died after being res
cued
The missing are: Mate ]. II. Pierce,
Seaman Asher Palmer, Henry Carter
and Tim Brandt.
When the life savers reached the
Abbott it was found that she was dis
masted, and there was no sign of life
on board. The fog lifted and the life
savers began a search for the crew
of the bark. After cruising about the
wreck for some time, they located
what was supposed to be the bark's
boat, but upon drawing near, 1t was
found to be the Abbott's house. Cling
ing to the top of the wreckage and al
most dead from exhaustion were five
members of the crew. They were
quickly taken into the lifeboat and
brought ashore, none able to tell of
the terrible sufferlngs.
AS soon as the men were landed at
the life saving station. the life savers
| again went to the scene of the wreck
| but have not yet succeeded in finding
any trace of the other four members
| of the crew.

WILCOX SENTENCED
FOR THIRTY YEARS.
Judge Thought the JurY's Verdict
Hard to Cnderstand.

Charlotte. N. c., Jan. 21-After be-
ing out for twenty hours, the jury in
the Wilcox murder case at Hartford.
N. G, at o'clock this afternoon re-
turned verdict of murder in the Sec
ond degree, and the defendant was
sentenced to the penitentiary for
thirty years, the full limit of the law.
Wilcox's attorneys gave notice that an
appeal will be taken to the Supreme
Court. The prisoner will be returned
to Jail at Elizabeth City where his al
legged crime was committed, to await
the orders of the court
The jury sent word to the sheriff at
II O'Clock last night that it desired
that the charge he repeated to them.
This was done this morning at $3.50
o'clock.
In sentencing the prisoner, Judge w.
b. Council said in part:
The jury have seen fit to return a
verdict of murder in the second degree.
They have found that the defendant
took the life of Miss Cropsey through
malice but without generalization and
deliberation. BY what process of rea-
soning they arrived at this conclusion
it is not for me to say. l regard their
action, however. in the light that they
have been as charitable to the defend
ant as possible in the light of the evil
dence in the case as they viewed it,
and resolved all doubt on the question
of generalization and deliberat ton in
favor of the defendant. If guilty, 1
think he deserves the fun limit of the
law"
The prisoner was called upon at the
Jail after the verdict. He was very
pleasant to the correspondent, but did
not care to talk of his case.
The crime of which James f. Wilcox
was found guilty is alleged to have
been committed at Elizabeth City. n.
c., on Dec. 20, 1901 He had called at
the home of Ella Cropsey, and when
leaving at II o'clock at night, called
the girl out into the hall. This was
the last seen of her alive. Her body
was found in the river 800 yards from
her home, thirty-seven days later and
a slight bruise was found on her head
which led to the theory advanced by
the state that she had been hit with
blunt intrument and thrown into the
stream.
The evidence against Wilcox was cir
cumstantial He was convicted of
murder in the second degree at the
first hearing last March in Elizabeth
City, but on account of a demonstra-
ton in the court during the trial, a
new trial was granted, and the case
moved to an adjoining county. The
jury which tried the case the second
time was composed of eleven white
men and one negro. Five of the former
are Quakers.

tural appropriation bill, which has just
an item OF $4,000 to enable the de-
partment to carry on it's experiments
for the development of the cane syrup
industry in the South. particularly in
Georgia.
Last year the bill carried a similar
appropriation, but only $4,000 of it
was devoted to this purpose. The work
was, however, put well under way by
DR.. Wiley, the head of the chemical
department, and his assistant, and a
great deal of good is anticipated from
it, The bill as reported to-day pro-
vides that $4,000 of the total sum given
to the department for experimental
purposes shall be used exclusively for
the purpose of investigating, determine
ing and reporting upon a proper treat
ment and process in order to secure
uniform grade of first-class table syrup.
1t is understood to be the purpose of
Secretary Wilson and DR.. Wiley to use
a portion of this amount for the es-
tablishment of a model plant in Geor-
gia, and Waycross has been selected as
the proper point for this plant. DR..
Wiley, in talking about the purpose Of
the department, this afternoon stated
that he and the Secretary have fixed
upon Waycross as the proper point for
the model plant, and ii will go there.
Representative Brantley of the Eley-
enth District has been particularly ac-
tive In promoting this appropriation,
and in interesting the Secretly of Ag-
riculture and DR.. Wiley in the work.

Three German war vessels supposed to

1890 o'clock this morning. The fort re-
turned the fire. The engagement was
in progress at 1 o'clock this afternoon.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press, in a row boat. approached to
within three miles of the fort at noon.
The roar of the guns was terrific. The
Panther appeared to be not more than
500 yards from the fort. Her guns were
being fired every minute. The fort
could not be seen for the clouds of
smoke, but it was plain that the Ven
ezuelan gunners were answering the
German fire splendidly and with great
rapidity.
At l o'clock in the afternoon an 'ex-
plosion occurred, apparently in the fort,
and denser cloud of smoke covered
part of the ramparts.
number of Indian fishermen were
intercepted, fleeing from the direction
of the fort in their dugout canoes. They
reported that the smoke seen was from
the burning village of San Carlos,
which had been shelled by the German
ships, and was in flames.
The Smelling of San Carlos has Gre
ated much excitement among the Ger
man residents of this port, who have
protested against the action of the

LYNCH IS ON TRIAL
FOR HIGH TREASON.
Charged With Aiding the Beers
Against the Crown.


London, Jan. 21.-The trial of Col.
Arthur Lynch, member of Parliament
for Galway, on the charge of treason
by aiding and abetting the Kings and
late Queens enemies during the war
in South Africa, he, according to one
unique sentence of the arraignment,
"being moved and reduced thereto by
the instigation of the DEVIL" COM
menced to-day before the Lord Chief
Justice, Lord Alverstone, and two 9TH
er justices. The prisoner pleaded not
guilty.
Col. Lynch was pale and careworn
but he stood in the dock composedly
listening to the lengthy Indictment
which occupied nearly an hour in read
ing.
Drawing, quartering and beheading
accompanied the death penalty for
treason until 1870, when this was abol-
ished. The death penalty, however,
remains.
The Attorney General, Sir Robert
Finlay, opened the case, recitng the
alleged reasonable acts as fully re-
ported at the preliminary hearing.
After the conclusion of the evidence
for the crown, which did not differ
from that presented at the preliminary
hearing, and the reading of Col
Lynch's statement made before the
committing magistrate, the case was
adjourned.
