Heroism.
The following incidents of true hero-
; isms are taker, 'rom the Norfolk, Va.,
correspondence of the New York Herald
relative'to the loss of the steamship Me
tropolis on the North Carolina coast,
where over one hundred souls perished :
Among the many soul-harrowing inci
dents attending the wreck on Curri
tuck Beach, it afTords sympathizing hu
manity pleasure to record a series of in
cidents and accidents illustrative of a
degree of cool courage and unparalleled
heroism which cannot fail to shed a glo
rious lu'tre over the names of the panic
ipants therein, and from them reflect its
glory upon the American people. One
of the chief instances of horoism, well
worthy of record, was that mauifesteit
throughout the entire day of the wreck
by Mrs. Anne Iluet, who being early as
sisted from a dangerous position on the
main deck to one comparatively secure
in the starboard forerigging, remained
there until the closing scene a spectator
. of rhe principal horrors, yet calmly
awaiting whatever fate Heaven might
have in store tor her without a murmur.
And surely her experience during the
trying day was of a kind seldom encoun
tered by her sex. Scarcely secured in
her new position she witnessed tne death
of Mrs HarrisoD who, when washed from
ill > pilot house, was grasped by Quarter-
n,.t.;er 1’oland and almost immediately
t irn from his arms by a ruthless breaker,
which drowned her there and then, at
the s me time washing her husband from
the wreck to safety,a strange rulingof Prov
iJcuce. the same wave proving the harbiu
ger of deatn to one and of life to the other
of this wedded pair. Thefall ofthe main
most and the instant rending of the after
portion of the ship, with the violent death
of several who had clustereu in the slight
shelter afforded by the saloon to the star
board waist, must have been most horri
fying to a woman, since it forced tears to
eves that had witnessed death in various
forms on many decks and on many fields,
but only prayers passed her lips, and
those were fur the repose of the souls of
the departing.
Again, when a father and son were
torn as luder beneath her gaze, the come
ly lad of perhaps fifteen sinking to bis
final rest within a few feet of her, no
outcry escaped her but a fervent prayer
t; at God would have mercy on the sotil
sc suddenly called to judgment. Sever
al limes during the day she bad clasped
tli.- hand which had aided her to her se
cure position with the murmured hope
that he Would not desert her, while the
br.nze son of the sea, his own heart
aching for the dearly loved wife that he
might never see again, could only su-
‘ We a e in the hands of God, let us
trust to oi. ,.
But most touching of all her mani-
fi -cations during the day was her prayers
:!; o iir husband might he admitted to a
si cure position by her side. This prayer
her p.-.ite-jior was obliged to decline in
view of the paramount claims of thesiclt
ami injured who had found refuge there.
Again was her heroic fortitude niosi
in-unlisted when the unclouded beams of
the fast sinking sun flashed brigntly
over the las! group of despairing survi-
v ms of the wreck in their struggle for
life, as the last vestige of the ill-fated
ship suik beneath them, torn asunder
aud horn down to the bottom by the re-
c *—-le-s surf. Toe foremast had fallen,
an l i... iiouh beatn», torn from their fast
enings, ha.’. n.-rmitted the sides of the
shin to separate, the starboard aide cuing
deeper aud depar down as each saco.
sivo surge passed over until all that
clinging group of over forty were forced
in: - their ba'tle with the waves. Then
my informant, who had been throughou
most deeply interested in the lady’s fate,
saw her and her husband suhmerged bv
three heavy seas in rapid succession, tht
last one washing them clear of the fore
chains among a small mass of wreck
Amid the smuilieiiug foam ne managed
to breathe again the advice he had
often uttered during the day, “Trust in
God and your life, preservers,” and
li -pushing his last hold on the wreck,
now'entirely engulfed, joined them in
their' battle for life A few minutes laier
lie saw that husband and wife together,
yet separate, both evidently the play
things of the surge aud despairing of
their safety, borne on towards the
shore. Again lie saw her when stru
gliuil in the undertow, distant some ten
yards from him",elf and without her hus
baud and though almost in the jaws ot
death himself could not repress the fer
vent “Thank God! thank God-'" that
sputtered from his lips through the foam.
A, few n-i-a-" Utcr the Llendly hand--
ot Timothy O'Brien aided others in
placing him in safety and a few minutes
here the form of the heroic woman
rom the surf insensible, but alive, a
nonmnent of the Almighty Providence
hat lntd borne her all unaided through
hat terrific scene and also saved herhus-
xind, the last that were rescued of all
hat hand of sufferers.
Prominent among tho heroes of the
Metropolis tragedy stands this humblt-
,nd unpretentious looking Irishman,
timothy O’Brien. By his own una-d-
d exertions he rescued from the break-
rs and surf nearly fifty persons. Tim-
ithy is a native of the county Limerick,
reland; is about thirty-four years of
five feet six inches high, very stout
uilt, a Hercules in strength and of the
reatest physical endurance. This is
' e second wreck from which he has
scaped with his life, the first being that
f the steamer Golden Gate, which was
DSt off Acapulco, on the Pacific coaBt
3 1303. She was burned to the wa-
sr’s edge, and O Brien wps one of the
sventy-tive persons who swam ashore,
distance of seven miles. Soon after
ie Metropolis struck on Thursday
loraing, and began to break up, there
-as it general rush for the rigging.
’Brien secured a position high on the
isiimnast, but when it became appar-
at that the only chance for life was to
rim ashore he boldly jumped from
e rigging over the heads of the others
id struck out for the beach, which he
ached safely, the fifth man from the
reck. Realizing the peril of his lei-
w-passengers, O'Brien hastened over
the' Currituck Club house, three
farters ol a mile d-stant, where he
rocured a pair of overalls and a quan-
ty of dry matches. He returned, built
iveral fires, after which began the work
| hich marks aim a hero. The sea was
1 11 of the struggling victims buffeting
th the breakers, and, one by one,
ey were sinking, never to rise with
■ e, when O'Brien, at 10 o’clock, plung-
boldly in to the rescue. One by one
i brought the nearly exhausted, aud,
some instances, half dea.d victims
f bore and placed them In the hands
others at the fires. He never halted
■til 5-o’clock in the evening, when the
it survivor had reached the shore. In
b seven hours during which he was
1 as engaged O’Brien had saved nearly
:y people, many of whom would have
islied but for his great coolness and
i manly aid.
I he last and crowning act of this
lat feat of humanity was the rescue
Mrs. Anne Huet, the only surviving
aale of the wreck. She was strug-
ng feebly with the breakers, sup-
jrted only by a life-preserver, buMv
Intly exhausted and about to sink.
Brien saw her awful position, and,
■ling to a young man named John
Iberty to help him he started through
the surf for the dying woman. Twice
the treacherous waves snatched her
from his fiiendly grasp, but at last he
caught her and with Doherty’s assist
ance brought her ashore in an uncon
scious condition. Sue was alive, hotv
ever, and was at once subjected to the
somewhat barbarous remedy of being
rolled upon a barrel to get the salt
water out of her, and then placed upon
a bed tick, beside one of O'Brien’s first.
In about thirty minutes she revived to
find her husband beside her. He had
washed ashore about forty yards below
on the beach, and when dragged out
his first exclamation, was:
“Is my wife drowned?’’
He was told she was saved, and, over
joyed, was carried to her side, where
he remained until she opened her eyes
to realize that both had escaped wa
tery graves.
The San Elizario Massacre.
Telegram to N. Y. Herald,
Sax Antonio, Texas, Feb. 2.—The
following affidavits will appear in the
San Autonio Express to-morrow :
“Before me, the undersigned author
ity, personally appeared one Andrew
Loomis, Deputy Sheriff of Pecos coun
ty, Texas, who, having been duly sworn
according to law, deposes as follows : I
was in the barracks with Lieut. Tay’s
battalion, Texas Rangers, in San Eliza
rio, El Paso county, during Thursday,
Friday, Saturday, and until about 11
a M. on Sunday. I went out under a
flag of truce, and up to one of the rifle
pits occupied by members of the mub;
that upon arriving at the rifle pit I was
placed under a strong guard, searched
and robbed of all 1 had, and then
marched to the general headquarters.
That night (Saturday, 16th) I was
placed in a small room adjoining the
council room, and while lying down
near the partition was surprised to hear
persons talking in English in the coun
cil room. One of the speakers had a
very pleasant but ccarse, heavy voice,
and the other a mild, easy way of talk
ing. Neither ot them were Mexicans
or of Spanish origin.
“The parly with the heavy voice
mentioned my name, and also that of
John Atkinson, and said that I would
have to pay a ransom of $400, and that
Atkinson was to he shot unless he paid
a much heavier price, and then would
have to leave the country. This kind
of conversation was carried on in Eng
lish for about half an hour, when it was
changed to Spanish. There seemed to
be many Mexicans present, but there
were at least three persons in the room
who were not Mexicans nor of Spanish
origin. At the end of half an hour il
was again changed to English and eon
-inued for three quarters of an hour,
when one of the partners, not a Mexi
can, says, “Come, Jack, it is time lor
us to go.” They seemed Well pleased
with the suggestion made by the par y,
who seemed to be a leader among
them.
“Among the Mexicans engaged in
the attack on the rangers’ quarters and
in the murder of Howard were many
from the towns of F,. Paso, Gaudalnupe
and San Ignaci in Mexico. These
were the parties who were for killing
all the Americans, their watchword be
ing, “Down with Gringos! Plunder!
Blood ! Blood!"’
Andrew Loomis,
Deputy Sheriff, Pecos county.

E. W. Bates,
Clen, ( '(iu:ity Court, Pecos county.
London, Feb. G.— r e w f . Standard’s
Vienna dispatch says that a, con
ference Austria will insist on fixiDg um,
exact limit to the Russian occupation
-if Bulgaria and the Danube fortresses.
Each State setids two delegates to the
conference.
Tne correspondent of the Times at
St. Petersburg says the feeling of un
easiness with regard to the political sit
uation seems to increase. The attitude
unexpectedly assumed by Austria is
known to all.
The Times’ Berlin dispatch says all
the powers have accepted Austria's in
vitation to hold a conference except
Russia, whose adhesion may be hourly
expected. The conference assembles
almost immediately.
The Tiroes’ Vienna dispatch says tho
portion of Suleiman Pasha’s troops still
at Kavala have been ordered to embark
for Salonica to act against the Greeks.
The Times’ correspondent at Athens
reports that the Turkish ironclads and
transports have been ordered to convey
10,000 troops to the gulf of Valo to op
pose the Thessalian insurrection, and
endeavor to cut off the retreat of the
Greek army.
The Daily Telegraph’s Vienna dis
patch says Hobart Pasha has been in
structed to bombard the Greek ports
unless the Greek troops are recalled.
London, February G.—A special to the
Times from Berlin says Roumauia in-
ists on having D-ibrudja without ceding
Bessarabia to Ru.-sia. The correspon
dent of the Times at the headquarters of
the czarevitch telegraphs as follows ;
Three hours before .he arrival of the
news of the armistice, a Russian officer
with a flag of mice had started for Rust-
chuk to demand its surrender, aud if re
fused to notify the consuls and other for
eigners to leave within twenty-four,
when then the place would have been
stormed. The condition of the armis
tice, as far as they affi-ct this part of
Bulgaria, are that the Turks give Rust-
chuk and Silistria, withdrawing the gar
rison to Shumla and Varna. Sercu days
are to be allowsd for the retirement of
the garrison, and on the eighth day all
shall march into Rustehuk. The news of
peace is hailed with great delight by both
officers and men.
The California Legislaturenasamend
ed the riot act of the State as follows:
“Sec. 420. Any person who, in the
presence or hearing of twenty-five or
more persons, shall utter any language
with intent either to incite a riot at the
present nr in the future, or any act or
acts of criminal violence against person
or property, or who shall suggest or
advise or encourage any act or acts of
criminal violence against any person or
persons or property, or shall advise or
encourage forcible resistance to any of
the laws of this State, shall be deemed
vuilty of a felony, and on conviction
thereof shall be punished by imprison
ment in the State prison or in the coun
ty jail for a term uot exceeding two
years, or by lino not exceeding five
thousand dollars, or by both.
“This section shall take effect on and
after its passage.”
