an agreement to burn 100000 bales

The farmers are indignant at the

I In several other towns similar scenes

where the movement will stop.
| The proposition to burn 100000
bales, with a view to prevent further
decline in the price and make If posi-

Waves Sweep Ship.
Watchers on shore marvel that the
crew has not succumbed to exposure or
been washed from the deck or rigging OF
the steamer. All day Wednesday the
steamer was swept by mountainous
waves that left only her funnel visible
from Fire island and Thursday the chilly
blasts had coated her sides, deck and
rigging with ice. The condition of the
steamer herself was unknown to those
on shore, but twas feared that she could
hardly be fit to live in and that the seas
breaking over her were sweeping her
interior through broken cabin windows
and doors; and that the condition of her
crew must be extremely uncomfortable

hands, was washed overheard. He was
seen holding up his hands in the trough
of the sea in an appeal for help, but moth
ing could be done, the deck being clean
swept by the breakers, and he was car
ried astern and speedily lost to sight.

crews from the Hatteras. Kennakeet and
Curds Hill stations on the North Caro-

unknown steamer stranded on Diamond

there has been no communication, lies
in the same positfen last reported and a
portion, If not all, of the crew are sup
