SHIP WRECKED MEN
GIVEN UP FOR LOST
Capt. Reed and Grew Return to Sta
ton After Fruitless Cruise Of Four
Days Seeking for Them.

After fruitless search lasting
four days for a distance of sixty
miles along the gulf coast in three
directions from the Brazos Island life
saving station, Captain Wallace
Reed reported yesterday that abso-
lutely no trace could be found of the
seven ill-fated sailors who abandoned
the steamship Nicaragua when she
was disabled during the storm on
the gulf on the morning Of Oct. is.
Captain Reed and his crew or
seven men gave up the search only
after they were completely tired out,
and after they had sustained many
minor personal injuries that de-
manded rest Favorable weather en-
abled them to make a close and care
full search all along the coast, twen-
ty miles north, twenty miles east
and twenty miles south. Nothing
could be found that even indicated
thatthe sailors had been washed
ashore in the territory covered by
the crew of the Brazos island sta
ton.
The report that a sailing vessel
had been washed ashore at the
mouth of the Rio Grande was con-
firmed by Captain Reed, but he
states that it was one of the life saw
ing boats owned by his station. 1t
had been washed seven miles inland
Captain Reed does not believe that
the sailors are anywhere in his ter
ritory, and he does not venture a
guess at where they probably would
land, Telegras from Galveston
last night indicate that no other
news of them has been received, and
it is therefore probable that they will
be seen no more until the "sea gives
up its dead"

BECOME NURSE
MICHAEL BROWN, PUBLISHER,
SAYS REGRETS FOLLOWED AND
HE HAD TO LEAVE HIS WIFE.
Special to The journal.

Philadelphia, Sept. Ia. - When
Michael Brown, a publisher of foreign
books at 32s South Fifth street, was
arraigned in court yesterday charged
with desertion and non-support by his
wife. Mozria, he told Judge Audenried
he had left his wife because she was
forever bemoaning the death Of her
former husband and had attempted to
commit suicide"
According to Mrs. Brown, her hus-
band deserted her on August Z, after
eight months of married life. She de-
clared that Mr.. Brown married me in
order to nurse me back to health, as I
was in a failing condition over the loss
Of my former husband"
We'll" remarked Judge Audenried,
from your appearance 1 should say he
has pretty well succeeded" Mrs.
Brown insisted that she is not as
strong as she looks, but said she has
no complaint to make of her husband
treatment. Il love him and want him
to come back to me-" she said.
Brown didn't show any disposition to
return, SO the court made an order of
$3.50 a week against him. That will
remain in force until he pays up ar
rearages in rent on the house his wife
occupies. Then it will be reduced to
$40
