Denounced Jail Management.

Wilmington, Special.-In coGnec-
ton with the sentencing Of several
prisoners to short. terms for retail
ing, Judge Purnell in the Federal
Court took occasion to pass very caus-
tic criticism upon the III in
which the New Hanover county Jail
IS conducted, saying that it is a dis
grace to a civilized community from
all accounts. Conditions In the pris-
on were likened unto a Black Hole
of Calcutta. The worst features of
the treatment of the prisoners, the
Judge declared, is the Jail fare. He
said that he would have no more
United States prisoners suffer unnec-
essary punishment by sentencing
them to terms in the Jail here. He
regretted even that prisoners had to
stay there to await trial. The Cum
berland Jail was but little better, he
said, and had the single advantage
that the prisoners were sometimes
able to get out. He signified his pur-
to take the alleged bad treat
ment of prisoners up with the attor-
ney general to see hat the parties
responsible for conditions are prom
pity punished.

Halifax, n. s., ;SpeeiaL-Dispatch-
6 have been pouring into this city
bringing news Of vessels wrecked OF
In distress, of wires Frustrated and
of damage Gone BY the gale and sea
kRlong the coasts of Nova Scotia, Cape
Breton, New Brunswick and Prince
Edward Island. Fotnp vessels were
driven ashore, another, after having
everything movable on deck washed
away, was forced to put back to the
port from which she sailed, and the
steamer Turret Bell, which went
aground on the north side of Prince
Edawrd Island last week, was driven
farther in shore.
The storm was most violent IN
Northumberland Strait. Two schoon-
ers and one bark were swept aground
in this strait, and a third schooner
was wrecked near the eastern en-
trance.
The Norwegian bark Adeona, tried
to weather the gale off Rexton. N. B.,
but dragged her anchors and ground
ed on North Reef. She sprang a
leak. The tremendous seas made it
impossible for any vessels to go TO
her assistance, leaving her crew of II
helpless in the severe cold and heavy
gale, and Ill danger of being swept
overheard or dying from exposure.
Near the same place the schooner
Alexander, lumber laden , went
ashore.
The Windsor, n. S.. schooner
Omega, lost her sails on Wednesday
last when off CharlottetOwn. and, the
seas washed owe her carried away
her cabins and deck load. She drift
ed swiftly for 80 miles across North
cumberland Strait, until she finally
brought up on the rocks at Fox
Point, on the northern coast of Nova
Scotia. Her crew of four men had
been obliged to man the pumps with
practically no rest since Wednesday
and during all that time they had
had neither food nor drink, all their
supplies having been swept overheard
They were rescued, almost overcome
by exhaustion and exposure, soon
after the vessel grounded. The
schooner will probably be a total
loss.
A Newfoundland schooner. the
ldenty of which has not been learn
ed, was wrecked last night at Camp
bells Cove at the eastern end of ,
Prince Edward Island. The crew
succeeded in getting ashore safely.
The 1876 ton steamer Turret Bell. |
which is valued at $1,000 600, proba-
bly, will prove a total wreck off Cable
Head, Prince Edward Island, on the
north coast where she went ashore
last week.
