NO TRACE or J.. II. SOCTHWICk
II Is Now Suspected That the Missing MAI
Met With Foul Play.

GENEVA, n. Y. June l.-Nothirg has
been learned of the fate of L. H. Southwick
of New York, former owner of the Long
Point Hotel on Seneca Lake, who has been
missing for the last month, but as the in
vestigation proc the suspicion that
the missing man met with foul play is
strengthened His friend Stewart l.. Plrdy
whom he intended to visit and whose home
he started for when last seen, Is confident
that he was never drowned. He suspects
a certain person.
esterday the police here were informed
of the finding on May of a rowboat at the
foot of the lake which had drifted to
tfat point Another erson reported the
inuing of an oar. This was thought to
rrove that the man had been drowned.
but to-day two men from Dresden, Samuel
Dunlap, boat builder who had repaired
MIR. Southwick's rowboat at one time. and
Clarence Angus, came here and identified
the boat and oar. MIR. Dunlap said the boat
had teen lying on the banks Of cre elk for
two years and was entirely unseaworthy.
The opinion is that some one set the boat
aGrift to give the impression that Mr.. South
wick had been capsized and drowned.

CUTTING ANSWERS DELANY.
Declares In Libel Suit That what He Said
Was True and Privileged.

The answer Of Robert Fulton Cutting.
the Citizens Union campaigner, to the
complaint in the $3.50, 600 libel suit instituted
against him ty John j. Delany. Corpora
ton Counsel, because Of some unco mpli-
mentary remarks afterward published made
by Mr.. Cutting about Delany at the last
city cc invention Of the Union. on April 49,,
was filed in the County Clerks office yes
terday. Mr. Cutting admits making GER
tain derogatory remarks about Delany'
but pleads justification and privilege.
Mr. Cuttings statements at the oonven-
ito n took the shape Of declaring that Delany
was Mayor McClellan's campaign man,
ager at the last municipal election and
that he had been appointed Corporation
Counsel because of his success in obtaining
contri' utions for the Tammany campaign
fund from number Of corpo rations which
have franchises in the city limits. They
also touched upon the CO ntracts held ~
the New York Contracting and Trucking
F. Murphy, the Tammany leader, Is con-
nected Mr.. Delany asserts that the effect
of Mr. Cuttings reflections is to damage
his regulate and injure his social and
professional standing TO the extent OF $780,
600.
Mr.. Cutting in his answer sets up that he
bore not the slightest luminosity III feeling
to Delanv and that the remarks complained
of in his address to the members OF the
Cti2er = Union were actuated solely by his
desire TO criticize honestly the present adj,
ministration and its officers in their official
acts. To that extent. he maintains. the adj
dress was privileged statement. and
furthermore, he adds on information and
belief the statements we're true.
Mr. Cutting goes on to assert that his
charge that Delany favored unduly certain
franchised corporations is substantiated by
the facts. particularly in the case Of the
Cor solida,ed Gas Company and other cor
poratiors that are in litigation with the city.
He saws that the claims legally held by
the city against these corporations have
not been diligently prosecuted and that
the Corporation Counsel has neglected to
press pending suits to recover moneys due
the city from railroad and other corpora
TORS for paving and street repairs for car
license fees and for the percentage OF earn
ings to which the city is entitled under
the franchises.
Another part of Mr.. Cuttings answer
deals with the alleged failure Of Mr. Delany
to take some decisive action in the matter
Of removing the elevated roads from bat
terry Park.
Issue having been joined by the service
Of the answer, the suit may come up FOR an
early trial, unless the Corporation Counsel
elects to demur to Mr.. Cuttings answer.

WOMAN BRAvEsT OF ALL.
After Captain of Boat Became Ex.
hausted, She Steered Craft.


Halifax, N. S., Feb. 10.-The second
boat from the wrecked Fsurness Line
steamer Damara reacher port Thurs
day. 1t contained Captain Gorst, ten
of the ships crew, and three passen-
gers. One of the latter was wo-
man, and to her presence in the boat
the men attribute their safety.
Though II hours in the open boat
with the temperature at 2 deblow zero,
and a mighty gale lashing the sea, the
gallant sailors bent to their oars,
while Mrs. Prowse, bearing up under
the ordeal with heroic courage,
cheered them at their task.
A score of times they were almost
overcome by the cold. Waves re-
peatedly dashed over the boat, the
water freezing as it fell and turning
the sailors into statues of ice. Captain
Gorst became so numbed that the til
ler dropped from his hand, and Mrs.
Prowse seized the line herself and
guided the boat in it's heartrending
progress toward shore.
When near the landing at Pleasant
Point, whence the news of their arriv-
al was telephoned today, the sailors
were so worn out that they could not
force the boat through the surf, and
the men on shore waded and dragged
the boat in.
