STRANGE SHIPWRECK
4 sToRY OF NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH.
Captain and Crew of Schooner Adam doned at Sea, Tell of Thelr Experlenee--Brltish Steamer
 Rescued Them.

New York. March 5z.-The story of a strange shipwreck on the nigh seas and a narrow escape from death was told by Captain Grimm &nd the crew of five of the Baltimore schooner William II. skinner. abandoned at sea, on their arrival here today aboard the Cunard liner Etruria from Liverpool.
 The Skinner sailed from Georgetown, &. C., on February IA, for New Haven, Conn, with cargo of lumber. The next day the chooner ran into heavy gale. and in the high seas the heavily iadened craft began to leak. The crew manner the pumps, but the schooner filled rapidly and suddenly turned over on her port side. Captain Grif- fin and the crew scrambled up on the starboard side of the hull and dashed themselves fast. Swept by the seas, the men thus remained for three hours when the schooner suddenly righted herself. Cutting themselves free from the flashing. the crew succeeded in reaching the schooner's deck.
 Days passed. and provisions. though carefully husbanded. gave only scant nourishfnent to Captain Griffin and his men. Tn a weeks time. they faced death from starvation. On February g, when hope was almost lost, the British steamer Bray Head. bound from Galveston for Belfast, was sighted and took off the sailors.
 The William IT. Skinner was built in Baltimore in 1893 and was 220 tons burden.

 Tn many counties, huge aigns have been erected on buildings and in high places nearby declaring the intentiou of the farmer not 10 raise a crop this season. Realizing the difficulty of making living for their families In case the decision to raise no tobacco Is adhered to. many tenant farmers are preparing to move to other states. while many farm owners have placed their property on the market with the avowed purpose of leaving Kentucky.
 The murder of farmer Hedges. in Nicholas County yesterday. and the raids in Woodford and other counties last week. have increased the alarm. In announcing their determination to go elsewhere, the tenants declare that it will be impossible to subsist from the proceeds of crops of hemp. wheat and corn.
 In the neighborhood of Mount Ster- ling, many farmers have received threatening letters. with which were matches. powder and poison and in both farm districts and tobacco towns. armed guards have been placed at threatened points. Conditions through out the state are declared to. be now worse than at any time since tobacco war began.

COL. ;. W. FAIRFAX DEAD.
welI-Known Veteran of Civil War
 Passes Away.


 Passes Away.
 Richmond, Va, March 21.--Col. John Walter Fairfax died today at his home, LeesyIvania. Prince William County, Va, in his s0th year.
 He was a well-known veteran of the Civil War, having held the rank of colonel in the Confederate army. In 1864 he succeeded Colonel Sorrell as ranking officer on the stan of General IonRstreet Owing to his rash and gallantry, Colopel Fairfax has been characterized in history as Long streets fighting aide"
 No parsonage in Virginia, perhaps, embodied more uniquely the character istics of the old-time Southerner than did Colonel Fairfax. Typically a cre- ation of the social conditions that pre- vailed In Virginia, three-quarters of a century ago, his quality had never changed through the transition to the new order of Southern life that fol- lowed the abolition of slavery.

pfr. Brvauie succeaaor.

Pensacola. Fla, March 22.-(Special.) ) Speculation is rife here as to whom Governor Broward will name as the successor to U. s. Senator wm. J. Bryan, who died in Washington this morning after a long illness.
 Mir. Bryan was named to succeed Senator S. R. Mallory. his appointment being announced Christmas Day, and although he was in Washington only few weeks when he was taken i'll. he accomplished much for Florida. and particularly Pensacola. The Florida campaign is now in full blast, with three candidates for U. s. Senator. Con- gressman Vim. B. Lamar of Monticello, Jno. s. Beard of Pensacola and Albert Gilchrist of Jacksonville.
 It Is not believed the Governor will name any of these parties. and the most plausible selection he could make at this time is believed to be State Senator Thos. F. West. of Santa Rosa, who is not only a close friend of the Governor, but a brilliant and able statesman. Ex-Senator Samuel Pasco. of Monticello, was an applicant for the position when Mir. Bryan was nam ed and 1t Is probable that hs will again apply.
