Washington, Feb. 1O.-Rather an
amusing incident occurred in the
Senate yesterday while that body was
in executive session. A sharp pas

ators Lodge, of Massachusetts,, and
Senator Smith, of Michigan.

THEY PERFORM HEROIC FEAT.
Save the Crew of Schooner Tint
Goes to Pieces.
Delaware Breakwater, Del, Feb

Delaware Breakwater, Del, Feb
1O.-The four-masted schooner
Sarah w. Lawrence, from Newport
News, with a cargo Of coal for Bos
ton, was today blown aground on
the Hen and Chickens Shoals off
Cape Henlopen, Del. The crew Of
nine men and the captains wife
were rescued by the Cape Henlopen
life-savers. The schooner broke in
two after the ten persons had been
taken off.
They were landed at Lewes, Del.
The sea was running so high that it
was impossible for the life-savers
alone to go to the assistance of the
stranded vessel, and a tug was called
upon to tow the life-savers in a
launch out to the schooner. The
Cape Henlopen men risked their
lives in putting their. boat through
the pounding surf, but they reached
the schooner safely and just as the
hull of the Lawrence became sub
merged. Those aboard were hud-
died on the fore house of the sunken
vessel.
The sea was running so high that
the hardy rescuers were unable to
get close to the crew and life pre-
servers and ropes were brought into
use. The captains wife was the
first taken off, and it took several
hours to effect the rescue of the
others.

A Brute That Attempted to Assault
Two Girls. -, -

Bainbridge, Ca, Feb. s.-1ke
Jones, negro, attempted to trimi-
nally assault the 16year-old daugh-
ter of Joe Spooner early this morn
ing.
The negro went to the home Of
the Spooners, and there was no one
at the place except the daughter.
The negro asked where her father
and brother were, and the girl tod
him that they were both in the
fiell working. He then told her
that he wanted to buy some sau-
sage. When the girl went out to
the smokehouse to get the sausage
for him, the negro followed her. AS
he caught her around the throat
she pulled away, and ran past him.
screaming, 10 the field, where her
brother was working.
A posse was soon organized and
succeeded in finding the negro who
was brought before the girl, who
identified him. He was carried to
Iron City and placed in the town
Jail. There was some talk Of a mob
taking charge of him, and he was
brought to Bainbridge on the noon
train.
A number of citizens of the west
ern side of the county, where the
crime was committed, have followed
the negro here, and there is consid-
cradle uneasiness among the officials
that the negro will be lynched.
Judge Frank Park, of the Albany
circuit, is here in town and has
offered to give the negro just as
speedy trial as necessary, saying
that he would remain over until to-
morrow, if necessary.
The same negro has been identi-
fed as the one attempting an as
sault upon the daughter of another
white man in the same section some
months ago.

MAKING wHIsKEY
IN A STILL IN A COUNTRY
GRAVEYARD.
When One Took Drink Of It He
Sang "Hark From the Tomb, a
DoIeful Sound"

Atlanta, Feb. 10.-In a unused
grave Of country graveyard, near
Macon, an Illicit distillery was found
last week by the revenue force.
Monday, officers in the York set
tlement of the Dark Corner" Of
South Carolina, found three children,
each of whom is under ten years,
making brandy with still which
they had constructed themselves.
The distillery in the graveyard
was concealed within the grave, and
the dirt was heaped up in way to
give the impression that the grave
had been used. The owner Of the
distillery had first upened the grave,
fixed in the still, then placed planks
across the top and covered them with
earth. At one end, but very care
fully hidden, he had left an opening
by which he might enter and go out.
In the gray of the morning, a
negro passing along the road that
runs by the church yard, saw head
apparently bob up out of grave,
then quickly disappear. He didn't
stop to investigate, and he was still
speechless when he reached the next
house. Others took the matter up
and a small party was formed. When
the graveyard was reached, they
formed a ring and slowly closed in
on the uncanny grave. But instead
of the weird things their magma
ton had painted, they found the
opening at one end and the still
inside.
1t is believed that this distillery
had been operated for some time,
but even those living within the
immediate vicinity were unaware of
it's presence The liquor it produced
is said to have had peculiar de-
pressing and saddening effect. After
drinking it, ones desire was to sing,
"Hark From the Tomb a Doleful
Sound" instead of 1--WE Won't Go
Home Till Morning"
The place where the children were
discovered making illicit whiskey IL
not far from Asheville. They had
constructed a complete still them
selves, and were making brandy OF
as good quality as any that can he
distilled. A wooden bucket served
them as cap, pair of kegs were
used as doublers, and a bored-out
poplar limb served as worm. The
officers say that not on- Of the
children could have been over ten
years.

NEGROES FATALLY BURNED.
One Woman in Field and Two
Children in House. :.

Cades, Feb. 10.-Hester Wingate,
a colored woman who lives few
miles above here, caught fire while
burning brush and before anything
could be done for her, her entire
clothing had been burned off. She
caught and burned in the presence
of several men, who failed to render
any appreciable service. One got
his hands severely burned while
doing what he could to aid her.
Yesterday came news of the burn
ing of Mellard Woods house and
two-year-old child, while father
and mother were some distance away
at a neighbor's house. This seems
to be another Of those not unusual
cases among colored people, where
they go away and leave their child
rem alone in the house to meet death
by their parents, gross carelessness.
