No Attempt Made to Save Passengers and They
Went Down Into Watery Grave With the
Steamer-Heart Rending Scenes at the Morgue =
The Known Loss Will Reach Near 200 Persons.

Providence, r. l., Feb. IA new ell
cment was injected into the horror at
tending the loss of the steamer Larch-
mont in Block Island sound Monday
night through collision with the
schooner Harry Knowlton, when Cap
tain McVey of the steamer today adj
mitted that his life boat was one of
the first. If not the first. to leave the
sinking ship.
This statement was made in reply
TO the charges by Frederick Hlergseil,
an 1S-year-old lad of Brooklyn, one
of the survivors, that passengers were
left to shift for themselves. that the
ships crew crowded the boats without
attempting to provide for the pas
sengers and that Captain McVey was
the first to desert the ship. The state
ment Of young Hiergsell created a
sensation in view of the fact that ten
Of the nineteen survivors were em-
ployes on the ship, or in other words,
that while approximately 20 per cent OF
the vessels crew was saved, only
per cent of the passengers survived.
Captain Mcvey explained that while
his boat may have been the first In the
water it was because he had good
crew and that he remained by his ship
until she went down. He said that he
made no move to get into his boat un-
til he had given orders to his men to
lower all boats and clear away the

New York, Feb 14.-The trial OF
Harry K. Thaw was resumed this
morning, but the court had been in
session less than Is minutes when in
formation was received that the wife
of juror No. IL, Joseph b. Bolton. was
in a critical condition and recess was
ordered until p. m. to enable the
juryman to visit her bedside.
Mrs. Bolton, who had been uncon-
scious all morning, died just as her
husband reached her bedside. Mrs.
Bolton suffered from double pneumon-
la and early today her temperature had
risen alarmingly.

Attorney Jerome announced the death
of Juror Bottoms wife when court con-

follows that the state will be Obliged
to pay the debt and to. pay into the
different funds OF the public institu-
tions such amounts as were diverted
from said institutions in the purchas-
ing of said bonds and in the creation
Of sinking fund, and it will be fur
ther necessary to appropriate money
to redeem the outstanding illegal bonds
not purchased by the board of univers-
ity and school lands, and which amount
to about $4,000, so that in addition to
the support Of the different public in
stitutions You have before you the
question Of the appropriation of money
to take UP the outstanding illegal
bonds and moneys diverted from the
funds of the different public institu-
tions of the state. There is, perhaps,
no immediate necessity for the pay
ment of the funds of the different in
stitutions used for the purchase OF
such bonds, but in this connection /
lwill call your attention to section III
of the enabling act, which provides
that the proceeds, OF the sale OF lands
granted for educational purposes shall
constitute a. permanent school fund,
the interest of which only shall be ex-
pended in the support OF said schools.
and that under the decision referred
to, the supreme court in constituting
this section holds 4'that such proceeds
constitute a permanent trust fund, the
interest and income OF which alone
lmay be used BY the state, and that
only for the support Of such schools
as are designated by the enabling act
of the constitution and to the mainte-
nance Of the permanent school fund, to

mon school fund shall be faithfully

benefit of the common schools of the
state and no part Of the fund shall
ever be diverted even temporarily from
this purpose or used for any other
PURPOSE whatever than the mainte-
nance of the common schools =
and If any portion be not expended
then 1t shall be added to and become a
part of the school fund.- and section
l59 OF the constitution, which relates
to the other educational institutions,
provides that Hthe proceeds Of all such
lands and other property received from
amy source shall be and remain per-
petual funds the interest and income
of which, together with the rents of all
such lands as remain unsold, shall be

section III of the enabling act before
referred to, which provides that the
Iproceeds of the sale of such land shall
llconstitute permanent school fund,
the interest of which only can be ex-
pended in the support of said schools;
and section 159 further provides that

The work Of opening the Casseton
branch from Casselton to Marion is
getting on as fast as possible The
work is very slow on account of the
solid and deep drifts, against which a
Russell plow driven by two engines
can scarcely bury itself the length of
the plow and engines until forced to
stop. 1t then requires the labor of
some seventy five section men to dig
out the train, clear the track, fiange
out the rails and get ready for another

KILLED HIMSELF IN COURT


there were candles lighted i'm the court
room. One of the brightest stars among
the many great lawyers at this bar,
Joseph Bradley, the elder, was Surratt's
counsel. AS the light was growing
DINNER the late Richard J. Merrick,
another of Washington's legal orna-
ments, placed in Bradley's hand a note
and pointed to a passage. Mr.. Bradley
arose and addressed the court. He
read from the Maryland statutes, which
prevailed here, an unrepealed law,
dated. l think, in 1889. which required
that an indictment for a criminal of
Tense must be made within two years
after the crime had been committed
Judge Wylie rather sternly asked for
the book. He read the law and Surratt
was freed.
There was a great sensation and
some excitement. Suratt was speeded
away to a hiding place. where he re-
manned concealed for some time, and
that was the end of the John Surratt
case.
Then there are many other great
trials in our courts. most of which are
fresh in the public mind. The Bradley
trial will end the list for the present"
