Among the questions asked in the
circular sent to the industries was
one connected with prospects for

four classifications poor. fair, good,

personal statements OF the contrihu-

of any preconcerted and systematic
effort to check the reign of political
agitation. In other words. depression

The four-masted schooner Joseph q.
Ray. Capt. Hichborn, which struck on
the Middle Grounds. inside Cape Charles,
early last Friday morning and which
will probably be total loss adds an
other to the long list Of old traders to
this port that have been wiped out by the
perils of the sea in the last three or
four months
The Ray was on her way from Port
Tampa, Fla. to Baltimore with load OF
phosphate rock, and was on the last leg
of her long trip when the accident oc-
CURED. The tug Defiance Of Baltimore,
soon after the vessel stranded. went to
her aid, but was unable to float her, and
the coming of a heavy northwest gale
made the chances Of saving the schooner
very small.
Her crew of nine men were taken of by
the tug and landed at Norfolk. The Ray
was formerly one of the ice-running
fleet from Maine to this city, and until
a year or two ago was a frequent visitor
to this port. She was built and owned
by Washburn Bros. of Thomaston, Me.
and was managed by Capt. j. b. Croker
Of Boston. The Ray had just been rebuilt

of its former position. He had not been

made.

such an extent that they will on their
own initiative induce as many men as
possible now outside the church to be-
come affiliated with 1t.
