Lady Laurier, arrived yesterday afternoon
from Sable Island. The Lady Laurier
reports that Gloucester fishermen engaged
in fishing in boats of the northwest bar OF
Sable Island had come to the superintendent
reporting the discovery Of submerged
steamer At low water they had touc ed
it with their oars. The fishermen tried to
make out the wreck, but all they could do
was to demonstrate that the hull was that
of large steamer and they believe that 1t
s recent wreck.
The discovery was reported to Supt.
Boutillier Of the island. That official did
not know how new the wreck was or indeed
whether it might not have been there since
last year. The existence Of a sunken
steamer at that spot was news to him, and
the location OF all the known wrecks on
the island is charted 1t may have been
a wreck last winter OF some steamer never
heard from after leaving port. 1t was
Bout illier's intention to make thorough
invest igation after the Lady laurier left.
No wreckage has been found on the island
within the past few months and II this
unknown hull is the result Of a recent dis
aster the sea made very complete work
in hiding traces of it.

OswEoo, N. Y, June l4.-Guarded closely
during life, the story Of the career Of Alfred
Moran, a member OF the famous Walker
filibustering expedition, has been brought
to light by his death, which occurred in this

of a wealthy Southern planter and at the
age Of II years, in 1851, left his Kentucky
home and went to st. Louis, where he
joined wagon train bound for California.
After journey OF months, during which
several of the party were killed by Indians,
the Eldorado was reached and the boy

In 1855 he went to San Francisco and
joined Gen. Walker in his fllbustering
expedition to Central America, where he
participated in the capture OF the city Of
Granada and Gen. Correla, whom Walker
tried by court martial and sentenced to be
shot. Walker received 200 ecruits from
the United States and joined in the war
between Nicaragua and Costa Rica. In
the second battle, which occurred at Rivas
Moran was wounded.
Walker was subsequently captured, put
on board an American steamer and brought
to New Orleans. imprisoned and finally
released. He returned to Nicaragua, and
gathering about him what remained Of his
IoTCe, started anOtner reVOIutlOn, was
captured and he and his command OF 1872
men, Moran being one of the number, were
sentenced to be shot. Moran appealed
to the American Consul, but he refused to
interfere. The British Consul was APP
pealed to and stopped the execution. after
which the men were brought to New York.
Moran who was the prospective heir to
vast estates, wrote to his parents and the
reply came that he was disowned and dis
inherited. He came. tc this city and was
a prominent citizen for many years.

It-Men All Hope to Get Back.

The Central Federated Union was in
formed yesterday by n letter from the
Rockmen's and Excavators' Union that
the union has given up its strike both in
the subway and throughout the city. The
letter said that the union, though 1t had lost
the strike, would build itself up again, and
It's leaders believed that when the proper
time came they would be able to secure
the wages they had demanded.
There were about 1900 members in
the union. all Of whom struck work both on
the subway and against the other con-
tractors who employed them. All will now
apply for work under the conditions exist
ing before they struck. As the subway
contractors want to have the work COM
pleted as soon as possible they will put
on as many men as they can.

union, took the floor at the Central Federated

The strike against the Iron League came
up for discussion at yesterdays meeting
OF the Central Federated Union. The dele
gates Of the Brass Workers Union and other
organizations which have strikes against
the League wanted other unions to strike
in sympathy. The arbitration committee
of the c. F. U. reported it's failure to get
the representatives of the league or Of the
Building Trades Employers Association to
recognize It,
Some of the delegates got very angry
because the c. F. U. was not recognized
by body Of employers. Finally motion
was adopted that the delegates OF the black
smiths hePers foundry men tile Layers =;
the shops should direct the members OF the
union in each shop to demand arbitration OF
the iron workers troubles. Failing to
get it they are to quit work.
If this programme is carried out it will
lead to a general strike in the shops Of the
Iron League involving many thousands
of men.
