DARING RESCUE OF SEAMEN
Sixteen Men Hauled Through Surf
at Cape Henry.
Vessel Barely Saved From Drifting
on Treacherous Diamond Shoal.
Only to Be Wrecked.

Norfolk, Va.-Sixteen men were
rescued from the steamer George
Farwell, which went ashore one-half
mile south Of Cape Henry weather
station in a fierce northeast storm.
The rescue of the men was particu-
larly daring, twelve of the imperiled
mariners being hauled through the
high waves at night.
There was a gale blowing at the
time, and the sea was running high,
yet in the dark the breeches buoy
was successfully operated. and every
man was safely hauled through the
surf. One was a passenger, Freder-
lex s. Heittmann, Of No. PIT Elm
street, New Haven, Conn. He had
been aboard for his health, and re-
marked after being landed that he
was thoroughly cured Of the sea, at
least.
The crew was taken are Of at the
Cape Henry Life-Saving Station, and
aftJrward sent to the City Mission.
Captain Chisholm. of the Farwell,
and the chief engineer remained at
the wreck.
Parts of the steamer soon began
coming ashore, and it Is believed that
she and the cargo in her will prove a
total loss. The Farwell was bound
from Jacksonville, Fla, for New Ha-
; ven, Conn, with $4,000 feet OF cy-
press lumber. The lumber and the
vessel are worth about$125,00 600. The
steamer was owned by the j. G. Tur-
ner Company, Of New York, and this
was their only vessel.
The Farwell was a well-knoWn
coaster, and had long been engaged
in the lumber trade.
1t was, perhaps, well for the men
aboard the steamer that she went
ashore. For ten days she had been
battling with northeast storms, and
when Cape Henry light was sighted
there was not a pound OF coal In her
bunkers. Captain Chisholm said
hat he was just considering the
burning Of the cargo for fuel when
The ship struck on the shoals, n
The was helpless. He was making for
Hampton Roads, where he expected
10 replenish his coal supply, and had
made out Cape Henry light. The
Jog then hung low, but when the
steamer headed for the light the mist
rose, obscured the light and the
steamer stranded. A patrol from the
Cape Henry Station saw through the
mist the red costen signals. Of the
steamer and answered from the
shore. Then the fog shut out every
thing. and it was thought that there
would be no attempt to rescue.

NEW YORK CENTRAL FINED.
Judge Holt Administers Rebuke
With a Penalty of %$1O8,OOO.

New York City.-Judge Holt in the
United States Circuit Court fined the
New York Central Railroad the sum
of S108, 000-S18,000 on each of six
counts-on the charge of granting
rebates to the sugar trust.
Frederick L. Pomeroy, assistant
traffic manager Of the railroad, a CO.
defendant, was fined $1,000 on each
count, a total Of $4,000.
Judge Holt delivered a scathing
indictment Of the practices of the
railroad in sentencing.
"Such a violation of law" said
Judge Holt in passing sentence, sis
much more heinous than the ordinary
common, vulgar crimes usually
brought before the criminal courts.
Those are crimes of sudden passion
and temptation These crimes we
are dealing with were committed by
men of education, business exper-
fence, and standing in the commu-
nifty, and as such they should be ex-
pected to set an example of obedience
to the law, on the maintenance OF
which the security Of their property
depends.
"This corporation received large
and valuable public privileges. 1t
was under the highest obligations to
treat all citizens alike, and not to
| grant any unjust determinations.
| This was a secret crime, the proof OF
which was difficult to obtain. The
law was originally passed twenty
years ago. The complaints OF the
granting Of rebates by railways were
frequent and i%nsistent.
1T is not too much to say" con-
| tinued Judge Holt, that If the bust
ness had been carried on upon this
basis and the discrimination contin-
ued in favor of one shipper 1t might
have been that competitors would
have been driven out Of business"

|N]4 MEN DROWNED ON
| FLORIDA HOUSEB0A1
Vessel Blown to Sea by Hurricane
and Torn to Pieces.
STARVED SURVIVORS AT MOBILE
We're Rescued by the Mallory Liner
Colorado After Clinging to
Wreckage For "a Hours-At-
tracted Attention by Cries.

Mobile, Ala. - Charles Anderson,
Otto Brink, Joseph Nelson and Chas.
Olsen, survivors from Household 4,
of the Florida East Coast Railroad,
which was blown to sea and wrecked
by the hurricane Of October IS, were
landed in this city by the Mallory
liner Colorado. They report 104
men drowned off this boat.
The survivors were picked up nine
ty miles off Key West, having attract
ed attention by their cries. A small
boat was put out from the Colorado
and the exhausted and half-crazed
men were taken on board. They
were almost nude, their clothes haV-
ing been torn off them.
Nelson, who was captain Of the
houseboat, says that the hurricane
began early in the morning, : and
tossed the boat from her mooring,
several men being blown overheard.
Two big extra anchors were put out,
but the wind increased in velocity
and the house of the boat was car
ried away, and eventually the hull it.
self was torn to pieces. A number OF
the men were killed, and others had
legs or arms broken.
Forty-two men who were clinging
to one side Of the wreck were res
cued by a large steamer. Nelson
says he and the men with him tried
to signal the boat, but could not get
a reply. When the hull finally went
to pieces he and his three companions
hung on to part of the bottom and
foated around in the water, SUBJ
merged to their waists till they were
picked up. BY that time they were
nearly dead from their sufferings and
terror, as a great many sharks were
in the vicinity.
The first news of a hurricane that
visited the towns of Ruatan, !Tela,
Utilla, Coloado and Ell Provence.
Honduras, on October IL, was
brought here by the Norwegian
steamer Harald, which arrived with
a cargo of fruit. A number of YES.
sells were wrecked, several destroyed,
and buildings in each Of the towns
mentioned badly damaged. The loss
to the owners of the fruit plantations
will, it is stated, reach almost ST..
100000. The British schooner
Southern Queen was thrown on the
beach at Ruatan and went to pieces
in less than an hours time, and the
Harald suffered somewhat and will
have to be locked. A great wave &C.
companied the hurricane and swept
everything before 1t.
Captain Henrichsen reports that
when he left, the beaches were
strewn with vessels of all kinds, in.
Guiding three large sailing vessels.

FAMINE IN MURDER JURORS.
Only One Man Qualities Where 2o
Murderers Await Trial.

New York City.-A famine in ju-
rors, due to conscientious scruples
against capital punishment, made i'm
possible the trial before Judge Fos-
ter of the first of twenty-five murder
ers held in the Tombs. Only one
man qualified out Of thirty talesmen.
When the panel was exhausted Judge
Foster sent the clerk Of the court
over to borrow some talesmen from
Judge Rosalsky. The latter asked II
any OF his panel would volunteer to
serve in a homicide case, but not one
was willing to do so.
The clerk went to Judge Cowing's
court, with the same result. and in
the part in which Recorder Gof pre-
sided he had no better luck.

Praises Cuticura Remedies.
"Our baby had that dreadful complaint,
Infantile Eczema, which afflicted him for
several months, commencing at the top oil
his head, and at last covering his whole
body. His suferings were untold and CON
slant misery, in fact, there was nothing
we would not have done to have given him
relief. We finally procured a full set OF
the Cuticura Remedies, and in about three
or four days he began to show a brighter
spirit and really laughed, for the first time
in a year. In about ninety days he was
fully recovered. Praise for the Cuticura
Remedies has always been our greatest
pleasure, and there is nothing too good
that we could say in their favor, for they
certainly saved our baby's life, for he
was the most awful sight that | ever be-
held prior to the treatment of the Cuti.
