FOUNDERS IN A STORY
UNKNOWN SCHOONER AND FER
CREW LOST OFF DELA-
WARE CAPES.

New York, Jan. 27.-Tales OF a
shipwreck at sea and possible loss
of life are the echoes of the recent
severe storm that were brought to
port yesterday by belated and tenn
pest-tossed steamships
Fears that an unknown three
masted schooner with her crew
have been lost in the storm off the
Delaware capes are expressed by Of
ficers of the steamship Manhattan,
which limped into harbor yesterday
from Baltimore. The schooner was
seen struggling in the trough of the
sea off the Delaware capes, and
when the Manhattan, which was
blown off her course, neared the
locality where the schooner was
last seen, many pieces of wrecked
vessel and quantities of railroad
ties were seen floating in the water.
The Italian steamer San Giovanni
reached here yesterday with Cap
tain -- V Morse and the crew of
five from the oil barge Matanzas,
which, with two other barges, the
Fall River and the Grafton, in tow
of the tug Concord, from Pniladel-
phia for Boston. broke adrift dur
ing the storm and for two hours
was at the mercy of the waves,
which wrenched off the rudder and
opened her seams. The Matanzas
was filling rapidly when the Italian
merchantmen rescued Captain
Morse and his crew. The Fall River
and Grafton are still missing
The battered approximations of
the transatlantic liners arriving
yesterday We're mute evidence of the
assaults of the raging seas encoun-
tered in the storm, while incoming
vessels in the coastwise and lesser
trades all report incessant battles
with waves.

every portion of the city. Almost
with the dawn of the morning the
heart broken parents began receiy-
ing messages of coincidence and
sympathy from their many friends.
The death of Miss Criddle was due
to pneumonia with which she was
attacked about one week ago. AL
though she was in the hands of
q trained nurse and was given the
very best medical attention the dis
ease refused to yield to the treat
ment. Two or three days ago her
condition assumed an alarming
phaze and from that time she grad
ually declined until the end came.
Miss Criddle was born and reared
in Waxahachie, and was 81 years
old just one week before her death
occurred She was a young woman

the Waxahachie public schools and

high school department. Later she
attended Lebanon College for Girls,
graduating from that institution.
