CONGRESSMEN WITNESS
 A RESCUE OF SEANEN
STEAMER BLUECHER TAKES LUCKLESS THIRTEEN OFF
 SINKING BARK.

Speaker Cannon and Members of His
 Party Returning From Trip to Ca-
 nal Zone See an Event Not on Their
 PrOgram--Rescued Men Faint with
 Hunger-Had Nothing to Eat for a
 Week but Soaked Biscuits.
 New York, April 7.-1Nearly every vessel that has arrived from southern ports during the last week has brought some story of marine disaster, wrought by the cyclone off Hatteras during the last ten days of March. The Bleucher, arriving to-day from West Indian ports, was no exception. Standing in disconsolate groups about her decks were luckless thirteen, which the liner had saved from the laundering bark, the Gulfport, and rescued just as the storm-beaten vessel was on the verge of going down. The rescue waa witnessed by Speaker Cannon and oth- CTS of the congressional party which the Bleucher had on board. It was a weary band which the lifeboat of tho liner took from the waterlogged wreck. They were faint with hunger as for nearly full week they had nothing to subsist on, except few water soaked biscuits.
 In their every posture was the utter Weariness which had come of three days and nights of unceasirg and what oft seemed hopeless toll to keep the wreck afioat.
 It was shortly after o'clock on the morning of Thursday last that the word went round the Bleucher that the vessel had altered her course to head for wreck which had been sighted, and that a rescue was about to be attempted. On the deck of the wreck stood the crew in glistening oil skins.
 Little difficulty attended the work of rescue. A lifeboat in charge of officer Beyer was lowered from the Bleucher and rowed to the wreck. Into this went Captain Larson of the bark and the twelve members of his crew.
 There was a large black dog on' board. The animal had been injured bv a falling spar, and as the boat was al-s ready too deeply laden for safety, one of the men killed the animal with d belaying pin.
 When the seaworn captain and his crew were sufficiently revived the told the story of the voyage which has efrd- ed so disastrously.
 Captain Larsen said that his vessel was carrying a, cargo of oak slaves and had set out from Mobile on March 5 bound for Bergen, Norway.
 The bark had been out twenty days, and had reached no further than the east Florida coast, when she encoun- tered gale in which she sprung aleak so dangerously as to send all hands to the pumps. The men were still striv- ing to keep down the thrush of water when, five days later, a cyclone burst upon the bark, and despite all the men could do the water steadily gained. On the morning of the rescue the vessel was completely waterlogged, and kept afloat only by the buoyancy of her lumber cargo. The Gulfport was built in Italy in 1877. She registered and was owned in Norway.

POLICE DO NOT SEE JOKE
ANsONTANS WHO SENT FAKE MES
 SAGE MUST ANSWER FOR TT.

Ansonia Store -- Peter Wood and
 Louis Lodge Victims of so-Callcd
 Practical Joke.
 The police of this city and of Ansonia are hot on the trail of a so-called prac- tical joker of the latter city who caus- ed the detention in this city early Sat- urday morning of two friends on the supposition that they were burglars. The victims of the so-called joke were Peter Wood, of Ansonia, and Louis Dodge, of Derby, and they are not in a very happy frame of mind over the af- fair.
 Early Saturday morning Sergeant Gibson, who has charge at the central station during the night, was called up by some one in Ansonia and told that store had been burglarized in that city and that the men who had done the work were on the train which ar rives in this city about a. m. De- scriptions of the two men were given and they were promptly telephoned to Depot Officer Simon Streit, who was told to detain them until further mo- tice.
 On talking further with his inform ant however, Sergeant Gibson became suspicious and said that he would not cause an arrest unless the complaint was made by some Ansonia police off, cer. In order to carry out his so-called joke the Ansonia party called another to the telephone and introduced him to Sergeant Gibson as Officer O'Donald of that city. It developes, however, chat Officer O'Donald was not on duty at that time and was sleeping soundly at his home.
 The supposed officer told Sergeant Gibson that he had captured che per- sons who had committed the burglary, and that Wood and Dodge could be re- leased. In the meantime the train from Ansonia had arrived in this city and Wood and Dodge were detained by Officer Streit. They were not, howev- CT, arrested. Neither were they taken to the police station, and the local po- lice deny the repore prevalent in An sonia that they were searched and their valuables taken from them.
 Messrs. Wood and Dodge started from Ansonia with the idea of going to New York, it is said After their de- tention, however, they decided to give up the trip and returned to their homes
 Chief Ellis of Ansonia, and the local police have been searching out the jok- CTS. Their names are now known and it is expected that they will be severe ly punished. Sergeant Gibson is being warmly commended for the way in which he handled the case. Had the meu been arrested tue city would have been laid liable to a suit for false ar- rest.

Condolences OF A GOLDFISH.
Revealed Secret Of His Lengthy Alb
sence From Home.

Capt. Collins, a well known fisher
man of the banks, was persuaded into
buying large Goldfish by fish pedler.
After the departure of the pedler he
saw it was not fit to be eaten, so it
was thrown away.
In few days the pedler again
stopped at Collins door. The captain
went out to his cart and began to ex-
anime his fish Suddenly leaning
down, he placed his lips close to a
large cod and began whispering to it.
The pedler locker rather astonished
at this, and as soon as the captain
raised his head he asked what he did
that for.
Well" replied Collins, 81 was just
askin' him how his relatives were, out
in the old ocean"
"And what did he say?" asked the
pedler.
"He said," replied Collins, chat
when he left them they were in good
health, but as he hadn't seen them
for two weeks, he did not know
whether they were alive or dead at the
present time. Boston Herald.

Ml.taka Of a COLLEGE Girl.

Charles Dana Hazen, head Of the
history department Of Smith college,
had excused one of his pupils from
recitation on account Of sickness.
Shortly after the recitation hour the
professor had occasion to pass through
the main street of Northampton, and,
much to his surprise, saw his excused
student coming from the opposite d.
rection.
This was critical moment for the
college girl, who took in the situation
with a glance. Something must be
done at once to escape his notice. The
book store nearby was her only re-
sort, and If she could have reached it
on time she would have been all right
In her excited state of mind she got
into saloon just one door from her
intended hiding place. On discovering
her mistake she rushed into the street
and into the arms Of the professor.
