LIFE SAVING AT SEA.
Rescue of Crew of Schooner Pioneer
by Steamship Rotterdam.

New York, Jan 13.-The Holland.
America line office here has received
details of the rescue by the steamship
Rotterdam, Captain c. j. Stenger, OF
the crew of the schooner Pioneer in
mdocean Dec. II.
The Pioneer, Captain w. /. Kennedy,
left Exploit Harbor, N. f., for St
Johns. n. F., Dec. 4, with a cargo of
wood and was disabled in snowstorm
and driven out of her course.
On the night of Dec. II her signals
of distress were sighted by the Rotter-
dam, which bore down and at great
risk lowered a boat in which the cap
tain and crew of the schooner were
brought aboard the steamer. They re-
ported that for nearly two weeks they
had been drifting about buffeted by
heavy seas, barely able to sustain life
on scanty rations of fish and flour, and
expecting every moment that the
schooner, which was leaking badly
would founder.
The schooner, being menace to ma.
vigatiOn, was set on fire by the boat
crew of the Rotterdam, which then pro
ceeded on her voyage and landed the
rescued men at Rotterdam Christmas

Citizens He'd Up Coal Train.

Arcola H., which for the last two
weeks has suffered a fuel famine, had
coal to burn Saturday night.
An Illinois Central train with IL
cars of coal stopped there to repair the
locomotive and the coal was confscat
ed by body of citizens.
Efforts to buy the coal from the rail
road company were fruitless, so the
crowd, which had increased to 500 or
600 people, set to work to unload it.
Many prominent citizens assisted in
the raid Among the number were
Colonel ]. B. Beggs, president of the
National bank; the Rev. Edward
Beach, pastor of the Presbyterian
church. the Rev William w. Prout,
pastor of the Free Methodist church.
and Policeman Graft.
Farmers bringing corn to town were
persuaded to turn their wagons into
drays, and they assisted IN hauling coal
to those most in need. The coal was
distributed in ton lots. A weigher
was secured and a strict account was
kept, in the hope of making satisfac'
tory settlement with the company that
owns the coal.

Six hundred people sat down to o
most remarkable banquet in Berlin.
The dishes consisted entirely OF
horse meat and were served in various
forms. The society for the preven-
ton of cruelty to animals issued the
Invitations to the dinner, which was
given for the purpose of demonstrating
the nourishing and palatable qualities
Of horse meat, thereby causing in
creased consumption of meat and a
ready market for old horses.
The bill of fare consisted of horse
soup, picked horse tongue, filet OF
horse and roast horse. All of the
dishes we're nicely prepared and were
evidently greatly reished.

INCREASE IN FREIGHT RATES.
Reasons Given to Interstate Commerce
Commission by Several Railroads.

Washington, Jan. 13. - The Lake
Shore and Michigan Southern, the
Michigan Central, the Baltimore and
Ohio and the Norfolk and Western rail.
ways have fl ed with the interstate
commerce commission their answers to
the request of the commission for a
statement of reasons for the increase
in freight rates by the trunk line rail.
reads on grain, packing house pro.
ducts, dressed meats and other articles.
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad
cites the large increases in taxation as
one reason and also says it must
spend almost S12,O00,O0O in needed ad.
ditions to its equipments.
The Michigan Central says its rea
sons are the greater increase in the
cost of maintaining and operating its
road, consequent on the increase in
wages of its employees already made
and additional increases which it is
likely to be compelled to make in the
near future, and the increase in the
cost of materials and large increase
in taxes The road says that during
the year ending June 80, 1902, approx,
imately $5S6,000 was paid for rebates
and other commissions allowed from
the published rates.
The Norfolk and Western says its
enormous traffic has taxed the re-
sources of the company to the utmost
and equipment additions are needed
Material advances in wages of EN-
ployes have been made and other ad
vances are in contemplation in the
near future. The increases in freight
tariff, according to this answer, are
necessitated by the advanced price OF
material and the partly advanced price
of labor, and steady increase Of about
$150000 per annum in taxes.
The demands of the public are stat
ed to be increasing AMI the only thing
that the company has to sell is the
transportation. The price of transpor
tation, the road says, must be suffi
cient for the adequate and proper man
agement and conservation of the prop
erty.
The answer of the Lake Shore i;
along similar lines.

think it over" said Senator Stewart.

HURT IN A RUNAWAY.
Secretary Moody Jumped From Car.
riage as the Horses Became Un-
manageable.

Washington, Jan. 13-The superin-
tendent of the naval academy tele-
phoned to the White House yesterday
afternoon that during the reception to
Secretary Moody and Senator Hale at
Annapolis the horses attached to their
carriage ran away and Secretary
Moody was thrown out and slightly
bruised. Senator Hale escaped iu-
jury.
1t seems that Secretary Moody was
driving from the station at Annapolis
in a carriage containing, besides him.
self, Senator Hale, Superintendent
BrCwnson and Lieutenant John NJ.
Boyer the superintendent secretary.
AS they entered the academy gates
the marines presented arms and
bugler blew blast, proving too much
for the nervous horses. One of them
jumped to one side slipped, and in
falling broke the pole.
In an instant the horses were off
and beyond control. The team was
headed directly for the river and see
ing the danger of drowning, Secretary
Moody leaped from the carriage and
fell heavily upon his face.
The driver at the moment managed
to throw the horses towards the Off
GERS quarters and salted the team
without injury to the remaining pas
sengers.
1t was discovered that the secretary
was bruised, his nose was SCARED and
he was considerably shaken up. 1t
is stated positively that he was not
seriously injured and will be all right
soon. He refused to ALLOW himself to
be carried into the commandant's
house and insisted on walking to a
bedroom where he was put to bed.
Later reports from Annapolis are
that the secretary probably will re-
main at Annapolis for a day or two
| in order to recover from the shock
resulting from the accident.
He is quite stout and his fall was
so severe as to render him unconscious
! for a few minutes. His face Is un-
pleasantly disfigured and among the
| injuries is a confusion over one OF
his eyes and a cut on his nose. He
| Is at the home of Superintendent
Brownson. of the naval academy where
he will remain during his enforced
| stay at Annapolis.
