IN FACE OF DEATH.
Crew Of George NJ. Grant Spent a
Narrowing Night on Board.

Norfolk, Va, Feb. 2S.-After a har-.
rowing night on the deck Of their vessel
with the life savers on shore unable to
reach them either by lifeboat or breech-
es buoy and with death staring them in
the face for several hours. the crew Of
the four masted schooner, George NJ.
Grant from Brunswick, Ca, to Perth
Amboy, N. J., lumber laden, which went
ashore at Cape Henry, were rescued to-
day by the Norfolk tug Jack TOwhey
which started at once to Norfolk with
the shipWrecked men. Conditions grew
worse on the Grant as the hours passed
and just before the arrival of the Tow
hey It looked as Though the schooner's
crew, already half frozen from expos
ure would have to take to the rig
ging Of the vessel to save themselves.
Immediately after the rescue Of the
Grants crew her decks became awash
and the schooner soon sunk. Her cargo
remains intact as yet, but the conditions
on the coast are still severe and the in
dications are that the vessel will be
total loss.
The three-masted schooner, John A.
Beckerman, in collision with the Nor
folk and washington outward bound
steamer in Hampton Roads, last night,
was this morning towed to Norfolk and
ran aground to prevent her sinking.

after sailing from Norfolk last evening

STAND BY THE BOARD.
Answer of Attorneys in Railroad Con-
test Is Filed.

The answer of the board of railroad
commissioners to the suits brought
against it by the railroads of the state
was filed Tuesday afternoon in the
federal court. A. E. Helm of Wichita
was here and attended to the case. 1t
has been agreed that the - cases filed
by the railroads shall be consolidated
into one test case. The attorneys for
the board, Mr.. Helm and Carr Taylor,
deny that the board is unconstitutional
and make the counter charge that the
railroads have formed a trust and are
therefore barred from prosecuting a
suit in the state. The specific allega-
ton is as follows:
said defendants aver that all rail-
roads are parties to and members of
| organizations known as the Western
Trunk Line company and the Trans
missouri freight bureau, which associa-
tions are organized and maintained by
said railroad companies for the pur-
pose of agreeing upon rates and
charges to be established and main
tanned by said railroad companies for
the purpose of unlawfully preventing
competition among said railroads in
the matter of said transp ortation
charges; that the complainant and
other railroad companies, defendants
herein named, acting through their re-
Spect1Ve representatives as mem berS OF
said Western Trunk Line company and
Transmissouri freight bureau, prior to
the filing of the original complaint of
the HOckaday Hardware com any,
with the board of railroad commission
ers of the state of Kansas, agreed
among themselves upon all through
rates to be charged for the shipments
of hardware in carload lots from the
city of St Louis and other Mississippi
river points to Wichita, Hutchinson
and Salina, and that said railroad COM
panies agreed in the same manner
upon the rates to be charged for hard
ware in carload lots, from the cities Of
Atchison, Leavenworth and Kansas
City to the cities of Wichita, Hutchin-
son and Salina; that the rate of 55
cents per cwt. from St. Louis to Wich-
tia and Hutchinson and of 4 9 cents per
cwt from st. Louis to Salina and the
rate Of SO cents per cwt. from Missouri
river points to the cities of Wichita
and Hutchinson and Of 81 cents per
cWt. to Salina, were also fixed and
agreed upon by the complainant, and
said other railway companies defend
ants herein; that said agreement on the
part Of said complainant and other rail-
road companies, members Of the said
Western Trunk Line company and the
Transmissour1 freight bureau, was and
is in violation of the provisions of the
act Of congress of July 2, 1890. by
which It IS provided that: Every con-
