ship, No. So, Goes Down Few Min
utes After Crew Entered Lifeboat-
Taken On Board the Azalea.

New Bedford, Mass, Dec. 12.-Per-
sistent bailing by hand for twenty
four hours. and wireless telegraphy
that brought help at last, saved tn"
lives yesterday of thirteen men on
board the Nantucket south shoal relief
lightship No. SO, but the vessel went
down a few minutes after the crew
had tumbled over the side into their
lifeboat.
On Monday, the lighthouse tender
Azalea lay alongside the waterlogged
lightship, unable to render assistance,
owing to the fearful sea. At length
the weather moderated, then an effort
was made to tow the lightship to New
Bedford, but after eighteen miles had
been covered, the water, which was
coming in steadily through a leak in
the fire room compartment since early
Sunday, began to gain on the already
exhausted crew, and the distress sig
nal was hoisted. The crew launched
a boat and jumped into 1t. They had
rowed only short distance when the
lightship plunged beneath the waves.
The men were taken on board the
Alazalea, and brought here safe and
sound early today.

eluding arrest, and so far not even the
slightest clew to his identity hsa been
obtained. Riding wheel, operating
only in the early evening when thei
streets are usually flied with people.
he quickly gets away from the scene
of his operations, and mingling witn
the crowds, makes arrest at least most
difficult, especially because Of the fact
that no one has as yet been able 20
give an accurate description of him.
His last attack was made Saturday
on lady walking along the sidewalk.
He Jumped from his wheel and threw
his arms around her. Struggling and
calling for help she was finally re-
leased, when she promptly tainted, and
the man made his escape. 1t is re-
ported another young woman jabbed
her hatpin into his skin several inches
and with a howl of pain he released
her and made off into the night.

Progressive Republicans Circulate
Paper Containing Declaration Of
PrincioIes-Many are Signing = A
Candidate for Congress to Be
Brought Out Soon.
Special to Times-Republican

Speclal TO I1fneS-RepuDllcan,
Corning, Dec. 12-The political sit
uation in this (Adams) county is
somewhat peculiar. For years there
has been bitter fight between two
factions of the republican party, for
being anti-Cummins But now the
term Of our present postmaster expires
in February and the two factions have
locked horns over a successor, with
Congressman Hepburn between, with
present prospect of him being fattened
completely out as far as this county
goes.
The progressionists are headed by
Senator Turner and followed by Repre-
sentative Gregory and the republicans
officials at the ourt house (the sheriff
is democratic) with the exception of
the clerk of the courts and the janitor
who are on the fence. A declaration
of principles is being circulated and
generally signed by republicans where
ever presented, in favor of an anti
pass law, a state wide primary law, the
repeal or modification of any law that
shelters combines or trusts detrimental
to a Square deaP and to fight the rail-
road domination in the politics of our
congressional district
The feeling is growing that we have
congressional timber right here among
us, and in all probability the name of
Adams favorite son will be presented
to the people for congressional honors,
in few days.

Washington, Dec. 12.-In his annual
report for the fiscal year ended June
80, 1905, the commissioner of the gem
eral land office recommends that the
office of receiver of public moneys in
all local land offices be abolished, as IL

off the public domain, the report shows
that during the year nearly 1000 en-
tries were suspended on reports of
special AGENTS and that 1900 entries
were Cancelled as a result of these and
prior proceedings.
Reports from special agents showed
unlawful enclosure of public lands in
more than 100 instances, the area Of
