NEW YORK. Dec 1.-THE bark Ed

boy. 1865
The task. OF saving the lives OF the crew
OF the Phnney was extremely hazardous
owing to the binding snowstorm and
terrific seas which we're breaking on the
beach. 1t was impossible for the lie
savers to launch boat through such a
sea. and they prepared at once to shoot a
life line over the bark and bring the
crew ashore In a oreeches buoy.
AS the bark lay-.only about one hun
dred feet from the beach. there was u
good chance Of saving the sailors In that
way. The .iife-savers made several un-
successful att npts to shoot the life line
to the mark. but owing to the gale, the
Lyle gun would not throw the line as
FAR as the wrecked vessel. Two tugs
tried to reach the bark but failed. and
the life-savers then tried to reach the
vesse lin their power life boat. Ten Or
twelve men are in the rigging of the
.Phinney watching the efforts of the life
savers.

A QUEER DEAL AT TROY.
Husband Gives His Wife to Another
Without Divorce.

Troy, Kan, Dec. 23.-Recently Car
rie Mcdowell and William Bean of
Elwood, were arrested on a warrant
charging bigamy, sworn to by J. j.
Clayton Of the same place, and a few
days later the husband of the woman
was arrested on a warrant charging
him with aiding and abetting in the
commission of the crime, and he was
lodged in the Doniphan county Jail.
Bean became enamored of Mrs. Nc
Dowell after she and her husband had
lived together for seven years This
met with the husbands approval. and
he took no offense, and at a family
meeting, at which Bean was present,
tween himself and Bean and she chose
Bean. At this juncture all three par
ties went to ST. Joueph, and Mcdowell
ties went to st. Joseph, and Mcdowell
had a legal separation from her and
that she had his consent to marry
Bean. The three parties then went to
Atchison and Bean secured a license
and Judge Casey married William
Bean to Mrs. Mcdowell, the husband
sanctioning the marriage.
This wedding took place last June,
after which all parties went to Colo
RADIO, and Mcdowell claims that if
Bean and his wife had remained there
no trouble would have resulted The
preliminary trial was held before Jus
tice Brown today, and each of the
parties was held to the district court

MILITARY Road SURVEY.
Government Engineers Ready to Re-
port on Leavenworth- FIT. Riley Route

Leavenworth, Kan; Dec. 3.-The gov
eminent engineers sent here from the Of
flee of public roads at Washington for the
purpose of making a survey OF the diner
emit proposed routes of the Fort Leaven-
worth Riley military road, have compile
ted their work and left for new stations
The first work was done over the valley
route. This took the party all the way
to the edge of the Fort Riley reservation
When this survey was completed the par
ty returned here direct. They next start
ed to Topeka over the middle route, hich
took them by way of Springdale, Oska-
loosa and ThomDsonville.
From Topeka there is only one route
to Fort Riley. so when the former city
was reached the party returned over the
northern route which runs by Dunavant,
Ozawlxie and Meriden.
Four weeks were consumed in surveying
these two routes, two weeks going to To-
peka and the same length of time return
ing.
Mr. Voshell reports that there is only
half mile difference in distance between
the valley and the northern routes. The
middle route is seven and a half miles
shorter than either of the others
The middle route merges into the valley
~oute at ThompSOnville which is forty-
Two miles distant from here.
The valley route is entirely level with
the exception of a part of the road be-
tween here and Stranger valley and a
mile. or so near Topeka where the road
crosses the Calhoun bluffs.
The middle route is generally h1lly and
the northern route is almost exclusively
