 teriOus Case.

Philadelphia, May 4.-Mrs Florence Ward of Port Kennedy, Pa, sister of Mrs Robert Rushton Shaw, who with her husband, was found dead in a field near Blackpool, England, yester. day, made a statement of defense of her dead sisters memory to-day. She said her sister was Elizabeth Walker and was married to Shaw in this city five years ago. she being then 19 years old and the husband only 20. They were first cousins, and the mother of Shaw, with whom they lived i'll Black pool, was jealous of the love which the husband bestowed upon his young wife. The mother, Mrs Ward stated idolized her son and was opposed to his marriage. This fact. she intimated might have something to do with the tragedy.
 My sister was highly esteemed by her friends here and better girl never lived" declared Mrs Ward. Tt is an outrage to even suggest an intrigue oI anything improper in her life previous to her marriage declare positively that she was pure, good girl, incapa. ble of doing wrong"

GERTRUDE
 GOES DOWN
All On Board This
 Barge Lost.
The Vessel w as Bound from Hoboken to Providence = Had Cargo of Coal Aboard.

Newport, k l., May 1.-The New London tug Gertrude put into New port harbor to-day and reported the loss of the barge Moonbeam off Point Judith last night, with all on board, in- ciuding the captain. engineer steward and two children of the captain. Cap tain c. ". Halyburton of the towboat did not know the names of any of those drowned.
 It was learned from other sources, however, that Charles Ackers was the captain of the Moonbeam. The cap tain had his 13-year-old daughter and his son, aged [, with him.
 The Moonbeam was being lowed from Hob0ken to Providence, with a cargo of coal. She went down ill a gale which swept Long Island sound during the night. She was owned by the Eastern Coal Co of Providence.
 The Gertrude had in tow the barges Moonbeam, Ariadne and Snipe. in the order named. All were laden with hard coal consigned to the Eastern Coal company. Yesterday afternoon a high southwesterly wind rapidly in creased in force and by evening heavy seas driven by the gale began to wash over the tug and her deep laden barg- es. At times all four vessels were completely submerged, but the tug struggled on for hours. The tow was off Point Judith on the southern Rhode Island coast when those on the Ger trude saw torch flashed from the decks of the MoOnbeam, immediately followed by a shrill blast from the barges-steam whistle signalling for as- sistance. In spite of the heavy seas, Capt Halyburton of the tug ordered the engine reversed and dropping the tow, put about and attempted to ap- proach the Moonbeam. The barge was rolling and pitching fearfully and it was apparent to those on the tug that the barge was partly full of water. Seas constantly made clean breach over her. The danger was great but the tug was headed for the laboring craft and she was but short distance from it when the barge suddenly ca reened, gave final plunge and noth- ing more of her could be seen save a few pieces of wreckage which had been swept from the decks. Capt Halyburton remained in the vicinity for long time, his men peering into the darkness for some trace of those who were on the barge and straining their ears for cry for help, but no sight or sound was noted. The sea forbade the launching of life boats. When the, captain was sure that there was no chance of picking up anyone he picked up the Ariadne and Snipe, and headed for Newport. reaching here today. Capt Halyburton says from the Moonbeam's behavior he was of the opinion that the water poured through the hatches when the seas swept over the decks.
 The Moonbeam was built at Sears port. Me in 1859. Her gross tonnage was e75 and her net tonnage 641. She was 14O feet long, 31 feet in breadth and 30 feet deep. She had been in the coal carrying traffic for long time.
