TWO SAILORS RESCUED
Had Been on a Raft for Five Days.
Captain and sailor That Were Given
I'D as Lost Brought TO Wilmington
and are at Marine Hospital.

Captain Sears, Of the schooner r. D.
Bibber and a sailor, We're brought TO
the city yesterday morning and are now
a the Marine hospital. These men
were given up as lost but were picked
up on Friday morning on a raft having
been at sea without either anything TO
eat or any ate since the previous
Monday morning. Both were very
feeble but the captain especially so.
His feet were badly swollen. They
were given up as lost, the remainder OF
the crew having been picked up by a
nOrthbOund steamer. The schooner
George Eta Lawrence, 293 tons, Cap
tain M. A. Hansen, bound from New
York to Charleston with a cargo Of ce-
ment picked up the men off Frying Pan
shoals lightship. The Lawrence was
slightly disabled, some Of her rigging
beng gone and vas leaking some. She
was towed into Southport harbor by
the tug Blanche.
Each day brings reports of some
schooner either lost or disabled at sea
in the recent storm.

FREAK OF THE STORM
House Was Swept Away and iron Bed
Found Where HouSe Stood Embed
ed in the Sand With Only Small Part
of Top Visible.

Although no inlet is to be seen at the
present time south of Lumina, Or
at least where the Butts cottage stood,
it is believed that an inlet was cut
during the storm but was filled up
again with sand. In the Butts cot aga
was an iron bed and when the co tage
was torn to pieces the bed was n SOME
manner dropped below into the sand
At the very point where he cot age
stood the beach is ct least two feet
lower than formerly and sitting up
right, with but top Just above the sand.
Is the iron bed. How the BID ever
got SO embedded in the sand unless
there was an inlet there. it is hard 10
tell. The beach side at Wrights lie
seems to have washed very badly nd
is much narrower than before the
storm, but the sound side seems 20
have filled in.

Out on Account OF IrreguIarity.

The protest against receiving votes
cast for sheriff in the Fourth ward vas
withdrawn by Mr.. Woodus kellum yes
ter1ay morning.
At the appointed time, 1890, the ex-
ecutive committee met in the court
house for he purpose Of hearing evi-
dence as to the tricky work done, there
being 20 more votes in the boxes than
We're cast. Captain A. L. deROsset, one
Of the ~pOllhOlders, explained how the
votes were counted, stating that the
COWan votes were counted as they were
taken from the box but that the Bid
die votes were counted afterwards.
When the books were opened he said
the votes were taken out and placed
in hats. Captain deROsset stated that
only two Of those present touched the
ballots, Mr.. Charles Keen, who repre-
sented Mr.. Biddle, and Mr.. Henry Hew-
lett who also represented Mr.. Biddle.
Each of these, he said, TOOK up a hand
full Of ballots presumably to help in the
count but they were told to put them
down which they did. He said be be-
lieved the tickets were put in the box
after the COwan vote ha dbeen counted.
Captain deRosset explained that the
tally kept by several gentlemen who
were at the polls corresponded with
the tally kept by the poll holders.
L was upon the conclusion of the
testimony of Captain deRosset that
Mr.. Kellum announced hat he would

popularity called So common is this
nervous disease in childhood that in
some schools one-fifth of all the pupils

of the disease is betrayed there is usually
adistnrbance of the general health. Thu

February that She commenced to take
the pills and they made the greatest
change in her. They not only cured
every trace of the st Vitus' dance but
helped her in every way. She never was
very stout until after she took the pills,
but now she has gained in weight. She
goes to school every day and is well and
happy. DR. Williams Pink Pills are
worth their weight in gold
