field. Mr. Pat Creamer, the engineer, discover
ed that something was wrong with his engine,
and immediately called for brakes and shut
off steam. On examination, it was discovered
that the axle of the driving wheel was broken.
Upon further examination, it was discovered
that the axle had been cracked some time, and
that only one and a half inches of solid iron
had held it together. Mr. Creamer, on the day
previous, carried a heavy freight up the road,
and was reloading as he came down, and
while ascending the heavy grade at Brookfield
the axle gave way. It made no unusual noise,

of the engine to one side, which was sufflei-nt
to attract the ever vigilant eye of the engineer.
Thus a great calamity was averted, in which,
probabiy, many lives would have been lost.

precocious and doughty knight hit upon a
salutary and effective plan of dispersing the
crowd. He drew a pistol from a secret pock

the contending factions, and a general stam

called for him. Brooks appeared frightened,
and jumped out at one of the doors near
Waite, who called to him to halt, but as Brooks
c intinued running, both officers opened fire
upon him. One pistol ball struck him in the
back of the head, but did no damage. Gold
Champion, another negro, came to the assist

into the edge of Lake DeSoto and captured
him. He is now in custody, under a warrant

Lake City Reporter: “On Wednesday night,
soon after dark, a party of men went to the
house ot Mr. W. A. Hardy, one mile east of
town, for the purpose of ai ling Miss Hansome
Keen to escape from custody, as Mr Hardy
had taken charge of Miss Keen to
guard her until court on Tuesday, at which
time she was to undergo investigation on the
charge of murdering her infant. Mr. Hardy
heard the party at the gate, and he looked cut
the door at them and ordered them to halt
(there were about six or seven of them), when
they replied. ‘Shoot, G—d d—n you.’ believing
that he would be shot instantly, he raised bis
gun, when a man standing by the side of the
house (at the door of the room occupied by
Miss Keen) tired at him, and the ball struck
him iu the left breast. Dr. Bacon has
since cut it out near the point or the right
shoulder. Mr Hardy then fired both barrels
of his gun into the party and probably
wounded one or two They instantly fired into
the house, and nearly a hundred buckshot
marks are visible in the walls. One buckshot
struck Mr. H ’s litMe son, Bunyan, aged about
five years, in the right side of the head, crush
ing his skull. Another shot struck and wounded
a negro man named Alfred . who was in
the hou'e. Mrs Hardy, although knowing her
danger to be imminent, seeing Miss Keen wi: h
her goods packed and trying to get out at the
door, seized her and held her until the attack
ing party left. Although Mr. H was
wounded severely, he reloaded his gun and tlie
party fled. A runner was sent to town, aud
Deputy Sheriff Bethea immediately summoned
a part cf the Light Infantry and some young
men, also armed themselves at the ar
mory, and hastened to the scene and
remained until everything appeared
quiet, when the Deputy sheriff left a
guard at the house and returned to town
and sent for the Sheriff, who lives fourteen
miles distant. The Sheriff arrived early Thurs
day morning, and a warrant for the
guspee’ed parties was obtained, and he pro
ceeded to summon a posse and started iu pur
suit of the criminals, and iu the afternoon re
turned to town with Henry Harrington in cus
tody, and at the mill yard of Thompson &
Hart arrested John McCall, a brother in-law
of Harrington. Tae prisoners are now con
fined in the court house under guard. The
people are shocked at the crime, and are glad
to see that the officers intend to execute the
law. Drs. Bacon and Chalker, who attended
the wounded, probed the wound upon the

REVIEW OF THE DAT.
Washington, August 30,10:30 p. m.— The
day at the Executive Mansion has been ex
tremely quiet and uneventful, the news
from the sick room being very gratifying to
all inquirers. Shortly after the midday
bulletin was issued a ripple of excitement
became noticeable owing to a rise of the
patient’s pulse to 116, but the cause of this
was satisfactorily explained by the attend
ing surgeons. The explanation was in effect
that the increased pulse was due to the
slight incision in the parotid gland made by
Dr. Bliss this morning. The attending sur
geons say that during the extremely en
feebled condition of the patient do Import
ance should be attached to slight fluctuations
of the pulse. The President continues to
take his usual nourishment, and during the
day, in ‘addition to koumiss, milk porrlge
and beef tea, which he partook of freely, he
ate another piece cf milk toast with appa
rent relish.
During a conversation this afternoon Dr.
Boynton said that the glandular trouble was
much better, and that there was a large dis
charge from it this morning; that there was
not much change in the condition of the
wound, and that the granulation had been
renewed, but not to any great extent. He
considered the general condition of the
patient fully as good as yesterday, and said
that while there has been no material gain
of strength, there may have been a slight
improvement. “There certainly has been a
marked Improvement since the recent cri
sis,” continued the doctor, “and he now
takes his food with as much relish as at any
time during his Illness.” In reply to fur
ther interrogatories, Dr. Boynton said no
marked change is expected at once. All
that one can reasonably expect is that the
patient will hold his own tor a few days. If
he makes even a slight Improvement,
it will be perfectly satisfactory. In re
sponse to the question: “Are there any
symptoms indicating another crisis?” the
doctor said that be had not noticed any
such symptoms. The interview was con
cluded by the doctor’s remarking that the
prospects for final recovery are very fair,
but iu a case of this kind, he said, no one
can say positively that the patient will re
cover. Therefore he could not make any
definite prediction on that point.
ANOTHER GOOD DAT LOOKED FOR.
10:15 A. m —The President, enjoyed an
other good night’s rest, and it is thought
staitsouton what bids fair to be another
good day. He slept well. Ills stomach still
continues to perform its work laiisfactorily,
and tbe parotid swelling Is progressing
favorably. His pulse, temperature and res
piration, as compared with yesterday morn
ing, are about the same. The slight in
crease in the frequency of his pulse, ”is
thought to be due to an accumulation of
pus In another portion of the glandular
swt liing, which was observed this morning
by Dr. Bliss, who made still another in
cision, and released the pent up pus. On
the continuance of these favorable symp
toms another day of progress is predicted.
NO MARKED CHANGE.
12:30 P. m. [Official Bulletin ]— At the
rnrroti g dressing another small iic’sion was
made in the lower part of the swelling on
the right side of the President's fae“,
which was followed by a free dbcharg i of
healthy looking pus. A similar discharge
took place through the openings. The
swelling is perceptibly smaller, end locks
hetter. The wound remains la an unchang
ed condition. Thera has been a little rise
of temperature since morning, but the
pulse is more frequent,. In other respec s
his condition is abou’ the same Pulse 116,

pulse somewhat Hion.
The following was sent this afteinoon to
Minister Lowell by Secretary Blaine :
“The President’s condition has not ma
terially changed sluce ray last dispatch.
Another incision was made this morning lu
the parotid gland with very satisfactory re
sults. The pus flows freely, aud the swell
ing grows less. His pulse at this hour, 3p.
m ,is lower than during the forenoon, as
wa6 the case yesterday, but on both days it
has been higher than his other good symp
toms would seem to warrant. It is now
110. At noon It was 116.”
SATISFACTORT PROGRESS.
4:45 p. m.—ln an interview with a reporter
of the Associated P es at half-past four
this afternoon, Dr. Bliss said that the pro
gress of the President’s case to day had
been very satisfactory. Auolher incision
about tbree-fourths of an inch in length
was made in tbs patient’s right cheek this
morning, anil a large additional quantity of
pus was removed. The openings are now
all in communication one with another, and
the condition of the gland is improving every
hour. The patient’s pulse has had a some
what higher range to-day than yesterday,
but Dr. Bliss does not attach much signifi
cance to this fact for the reason that the lo
cal disturbance arising from the glandular
swelling Is sufficient to explain it. Tne pa
tient’* geueral condition remains as good as
yesterday, and his stomach is behaving ad
mirably. Dr. Bliss does not look for any
marked or decided change in the direction
of recovery before Friday or Saturday, by
which time he thinks the gland will have
ceased to be a dangerous feature. Up to
this time all goes on as well as could be ex
pected.
A VERY FAIR DAT.
6:30 P. m. [Official Bulletin ]— I The Presi
dent has passed comfortably through the
day. He has taken the usual amount of
nourishment by the mouth with stimulat
ing enemata at stated periods. Hts rise
of temperature this afternoon is a degree
less than yesterday at the same time, and
his pulse Is less fri quent than at noon to
day. The parotid swelling has been dis
charging more freely and is continuing to
diminish in size. Pulse 109, temperature

HE KNOWS IIE IS BETTER.
10:30 P. m. —The following was sent to
night to Minister Lowell by Secretary
Blaine: “The President, if not rapidly ad
vancing, is at least holding his own. His
fever is less than last night, and bis swollen
gland steadily improves. His pulse contin
ues rather hieher. running this afternoon
from 110 to llfi. Perhaps the best indica
tion in the case is that the President him
self feels better, and, his mind being now
perfectly clear, he readily compares one
day’s progress with another.”
A TRIBUTE FROM HIS PASTOR.
Rev. F. D. Power, pastor of the Vermont
Avenue Christian Church, in this city, has
written a letter concerning the President’s
character as a Christian man, in which he
says: “He ha never hesitated when it was
necessary to testify to his faith. He has
lectured publicly in the Christian
Church within two years on the
evidences of the Christian religion,
and he has for six years been
a devout and constant worshipper
and communicant. Taking Into the esti
mate all the temptations attendant upon
6uch career, the general looseness of Wash
ington life and political life, especially the
marked unfaithfulness of Christian men
when they attain such prominence in official
position, and the extrema poverty and ob
scurity of his brethren in Washington, to
gether with their poor house of worship, I
esteem him as an unusual Christian, a man
faithful where nine out of ten would have
failed.”
THE INDUCTION BALANCE AGAIN.
Dr. Hamilton arrived at half-past ten
o’clock to-night. Dr. Agnew expects to
leave for Philadelphia to-morrow morning.
Private Secretary Brown said this evening
tta’ Professor Bell has succeeded in per
fecting an induction balance, by which he
can locate precisely the ball In the Presi
dent’s body. It has not yet been determined
to try the experiment, however.
VIEWS OF THE CABINET.
The members of the Cabinet were at the
Mansion until quite a late hour to night.
Secretary Blaine, in response to a ques
tion, said that he considered the patient
better, and he felt much encouraged.
Secretary Hunt considered the fact of the
President holding his own during the day a
good sign, and that bis condition was evi
dently better than at the same time last
night.
Postmaster General James said his hope
had been fully reestablished, and he viewed
the case from the standpoint which he did
previous to the crisis of Saturday and Sun
day laat. Mr. James, like many others,
expressed the opinion that the nation’s
prayers had been answered.
Secretary Lincoln said there was no ma
terial change from yesterday, and there did
not appear to be any unfavorable symptoms
developing.
General Swaim continues sanguine. He
said at nine o’clock that the patient was
moving on towards recovery slowly, but, in
his opinion, surely.
ANOTHER TALK WITH DR. BOYNTON.
Late this evening a representative of the
Associated Press obtained the foliowiug
statement regarding the President’s case
from Dr. Boynton, Mrs. Garfield’s family
physician. The Doctor said:
“Were It not for the advent of septicemia
in the President’s case, he would now be
convalescent. The stomach trouble of two
weeks ago, the glandular complication, the
stupor and delirium, the rapid pulse, the
loss of strength, etc., were all due to this
cause. Tbe wonderful vitality of the Presi
dent enabled him to overcome all the dan
gers and complications attending the wound
prior to the occurrence of the blood
poisoning. In his case septicsemta had un
dermined the very foundations of life, pro
ducing a condition much resembling ty
phoid fever, attended with stupor, delirium
and great prostration. The processes of di
gestion and assimilation had been
pretty much arrested, so that, al
though he partook of a sufficient
amount of nutritious food, he became great
ly emaciated and exhausted. His blood,
besides being vitiated by the absorption of
septic matters, had become more and more
depraved on account of the failure of the
system to assimilate food and transform it
into blood. The President has been laboring
under the influence,of this blood poisoning
for some time, r.nd during the past week it
tfccame evident that unless a favorable
change soon occurred bu vital powers would
give way. On Friday morning a change for
the better was noticeable, the first indica
tion of it being an abatement of the stupor
and delirium. This was followed by the ap
pearance of other fayorable symptoms, which
Indicated that blood polton was being
eliminated, and that his system was making
an effort to rally from the terrible depres
sion caused by the septica'mla. The prob
lem now was to sustain his strength until
nature could further eliminate the poison.
The President was weaker on Satur Jay than
at any previous time, yet his condition
was less critical than on the two preceding
days. On Saturday it was more a struggle
with exhaustion," the cause of the ex
haustion having to some extent been re
moved, while on the preceding days the ex
haustion was nearly as great with no appar
ent abatement of Its cause. If the blood
poison continues to be eleminated
and no more septic matters are absorbed,
the President wili slowly but surely regain
his strength. In his present condition it is
not impossible that there may be further
absorption of the septic matters, bringing
with It serious complications, but it Is confi
dently hoped that such will not be the case.
No irreparable mischief has occurred to
any of the vital organs, and his recovery is
more than probable.
“As the processes of digestion and assimi
lation become more fully re established bet
ter blood will be manufactured from the
food, which, as it circulates through the sys
tem, will stimulate to more healthy action
all the functions of the body. The pro
cess of repair in the wound, which is
now at a complete standstill, will be re
established. The discharge of pus, which
has almost ceased, will again become nor
mal as to quantity and quality. Granulations
will spring up and the wound will rapidly
heal. The glandular trouble, although
a r. suit of the septic and depraved condi
Lion of the blood, became not only an an
noying but a dangerous complication, and
its subsidence was a very Important element
in bringing about a favorable change in the
President’s condition.”
In answer to the question as to the dif
ference between 6eptica3uiia and pyaemia,
the doctor stated that the same condition
of blood poisoning iu a patient might be
pronounced pjtemia by one physician and
septicaemia by another, but that in all
cases sep’.lcajmia preceded pyaemia; that
septicaemia could and did exist in
dependent of pyaemia, but- that pyae
mia hid no existence independent
of the septic* nia, and that, of necessity,
the two condtion | often existed simultane
ously in the same patient. During the
course of septicaemia, thrombi of the veins
sometimes occurs. Emboli produced by
such ihiombi are carried by the nervous
blood to the right side of the heart and,
through the pulmonary artery, to the lungs,
where they form what are known
as mota-tatic abscesses. On the
same principle these abscesses are some
times formed on the liver, spleen and
other portions of the body. If such a state
of things occur the case becomes one of
typical pyaemia. If this clinical distinction
between the two diseases be accepted as
true, tlie President is suffering from
septicaemia, and not pyaemia, • for
in his case there have been no metastatic
abscesses. The abscess in the parotid gland
Is not supposed to be a metastatic abscess.
“What I have described as septicaemia
would no doubt be calied by some physi
cians chronic pyaemia.” The Mansion was
closed about eleven o’clock, at which time
tbe patient was quietly sleeping.

Charleston, S. C., August 30. —The inter
ruption of telegraphic communication be
tween Charleston and Savannah, and the
many rumors which were in circulation here
on Monday, caused the most intense anxiety
here as to the fate of the Forest City. When
the train from Savannah reached here on
Monday night there was a large crowd of
people at the depot anxious to hear the
news, and there was an eager demand for
the Morning News of Monday, which con
tained a full account of the ravages of the
gale.
The effects of the storm in Charleston
were not as disastrous as in Savannah. The
damage to property will probably not ex
ceed #IOO,OOO, and is distributed among a
large number of persons. There were four
lives lost, three negroes and one white
person.
The accidental drowning of Mr. Thomas
P. LeseEue cast a gloom over the entire
community. He was the youngest son of
ex-Chaucellor H. D. Ltsesne, and was a
very popular young man. Ills bodv was
discovered this morning in the marsh on
the James Island shore, and was interred
this afternoon. The funeral services were
held at Bt. Phillip’s Church, Bishop Howe
official iug, and were attended by an im
mense crowd of people, white and eolored.
A lviees from the coast indicate the almost
total destruction of the rice crop by the
high tides, and the very serious injury of
the sea island cotton crop.
Two foreign steamships, the Royal Min
strel and the Sparta, have arrived here to
load with cotton for foreign ports. They
are chartered to clear on the 16th of Sep
tember, and, although cotton Is coming In
as rapidly as could be expected, some doubts
are entertained ot the ability of the agents
to load the vessels by that day.

Good Advice from a Leading: Medi
cal Professor.
The learned doctor says: “Keep some
kind cf a tonic medicine always in the
home, and If anyone feels unwell, make
free use of it. But first be sure that it is
both harmless as well as meritorious. Put
no trust In alcoholic preparations; their use
will lead to Intemperance; neither be partial
to any remedy that produces a severe cathar
tic effect, for prostration of the nervous
system and digestive organs is sure to fol
low. The mildest and best medicine ever
Invented for strengthening every part of
the body acd restoring impaired or lost or
ganic functions to their normal condition,
and one which is haviDg an unparalleled
and rapidly increasing sale in the Eastern
States, is Brown’s Iron Bitters. Any drug
gist will procure it for you if you request
him to do so, especially when he finds you
cannot be persuaded to take some substi
tute. It dot * not contain alcohol, and is
the only preparation of Iron that cures
headache and does not blacken the teeth.
It Is a sore reviver, a true strengthened and
the very best medicine ever invented for
permanently strengthening the pulmonary,
urinary aud digestive organs, and prevent
ing consumption, kidney diseases and
chronic dyspepsia, often curing these dis

Fkrnandina, Fla., August 30.—Mallo
ry’s steamer the City of San Antonio, put
Into this port last night to clear her dis
charge and bilge pumps and fasten down
her after boiler. In the storm of the 27th

She will make the necessary repairs and
proceed to Galveston at once. Capt. Bur
rows reports that the storm was the most
terrific he has ever experienced.
Port Royal, 8. C., August 30.—Capt.
Hines, of the steamer Western Texas, re
ported the Martin’s Industry lightship gone.
All buoys at Port Royal have been shifted.
New York, August 30. —The steamship
Hudson, from New Orleans, arrived here
to day. She reports having had heavy
weather off the east coast of Florida lasting
thirty hours. August 28th she fell in with
the ship Sandusky, from Pensacola for
Liverpool, with lumber, dismasted, water
logged and stern gone. She took off the
crew, who had been seventy hours without
food or water, gave them clothes and
made them as comfortable as possible.
The report of Captain Lowden, of the
ship Sandusky, says: “We left Pensacola,
August 12th, for Liverpool. On the 25th
the wind increased to a heavy gale from
the northeast, and the ship commenced
leaking badly. On the 26th the gale in
creased to a hurricane, the leak paining so
fast that both pumps could not keep tbe
vessel free. At 6p. m. she had ten feet of
water in her hold, with both pumps con
stantly going, but to no purpose. At 8
p. m. a squall of great violence threw
the ship on her beam ends, when the masts
were cut away. At the same time every
thing was awept from the deck, including
both houses with all the stores and fresh
water. All the officers and crew reached the
weather mizzen rigging except two seamen
and the cook, who were never after seen,
and must have been swept away
when her deck load went over.
The ship slowly righted after
the loss of her top hamper, but was a com
plete waterlogged wreck, the crew remained
on the mizzen rigging until daybreak, the
sea continually sweeping over them and
threatening to carry them off every moment.
At daybreak we were enabled to better our
position somewhat, but as the ship was
constantly breaking up it was a day of ter
ror. About four and. m. we saw a brig
steering nearly for us, but she passed us
by without noticing us, though her people
were plainly visible to u. The wind was
still blowing a heavy gale, and tremendous
seas were breaking over the ship. When
nearly dark, the whole stern frame broke,
and was swept away with the after part of
the main deck, and the timbers commenced
coming out from between decks. We were
obliged to abandon our position aft, and
after great risk got forward and into the
foretop, where the night of the 27th was
passed.
“The next day was fine, but with heavy
seas constantly deluging the ship. At 5:30
p. m. we saw a vessel, which proved to be
t he steamship Hudson,from New Orleans for
New York. The crew and officers were
taken off after being seventy-eight hours on
tbe wreck without food or water. Every
kindness was shown us by Captain Free
man, his officers and passengers, the latter
making up a purse, which greatly gladdened
the h-art.s of the destitute mariners.”
The gale was one of the mo3t severe,
so Captain Freeman reports, that
he ever experienced. The wind reached
the velocity of a hurricane on the evening
of the 26th. As the ship was fabt breaking
up she will soon cease to be a danger to
navigators, although she was abandoned iu
the track of northern bound vessels.
The steamship Chalmette, from New Or
leans, also arrived here to day. She reports
that ou August 28th, at Ba. m., 6he fell in
with the schooner Lucie Wheatley, Capt.
Sipple, from Jacksonville for Baltimore, in
a sinking condition, and took off her Cap
tain and crew and brought them to this
port.
Captain Sipple says: “We left Jackson
ville August 13. At Ip. m. the ship was
struck by lightning, shivering her fore
mast, foretopmast and mlzzentopmast, and
damaging her hull. The wind was west
southwest. We fixed the foremast and se
cured it, but it was not safe. Fitted up a
jumper stav and set a spare jib as a main
stay sail. The wind was variable on the
16:11 and partly calm on the 17th. On
the 19th the wind was west and
the weather hazy. On the 20; h
the wind changed to the northeast, aud,
increasing from the 21st to the 24th, we had
heavy seas, and the wind was blowing a
hurricane, the vessel leaking, and the
pumps constantly going. On the 26th and
27th we threw over part of the deck load.
On the 25th, at noon, the vessel was full of
water. The masts were swept away aud the
hull righted, but she was wholly under
water, and all hands were obliged to look
out for themselves, being part of the
night up to our waists in water.
Oa the 28th, in the morning, the steamer
Chalmette, from New Orleans for New
York, sighted us and came to our rescue.
She launched her boat with two officers and
four men. At 9:30 a. m. she had all of
us on board. The schooner was then
breaking to pieces bo that the lumber was
coming out. She was then in latitude 31:50,
longitude 78:45. The schooner was built in
1874 at Frederica, Del., and was owned by
Governor J. W. Hall & Son, of Frederica,
and Mrs. Wheatley, of Lebanon, aud was

John Molony, Thomas Ross, Harry Miller,
Arthur Stannard and John Colson, seamen,
were brought to Charleston by the schooner
M. C. Mosely, Captain George W. Dow,
from Boston, on Monday about 11 o’clock,
having been picked up in an open boat off
the North Carolina coast about 2 o’clock on
Sunday. Captain Thompson’s account of
his shipwreck and narrow escape of his life,
as given to the Charleston News and Courier,
Is thrilling and interesting.
The Alphonse left Cienfuegos on the 9th
Instant with a large cargo of sugar and mo
lasses. She experienced light winds and
calms until she reached the neighborhood of
Jupiter Inlet on the Florida coast. The wind
then sprung up from the eastward and blew
from that direction for twenty-four hours.
It then shifted to the northeast and began
to blow briskly. The Captain tacked his
vessel back and forth until Thursday just
when the wind freshened to a gale. At day
light on Friday the gale increased to a hur
ricane from the northssst. The Captain then
hove to under short sail and managed to
hold his own until the lower topsail and
main staysail were blown away. The vessel
then fell in the trough of the sea and
he had to put before the wind and run
under bare poles. She sped along at terrific
speed, now on the top of a gigantic wave
and now seemingly fifty feet down in the
trough. Friday night came and the vessel
was still kept on her southwest course, fly
ing before the storm. As night came on
the difficulties Increased. It was found im
possible to keep a light of anv kind, and
the Captain had to trust to Providence and
keep her before the wind without knowing
where she was going. When daylight
dawned on Saturday the Captain
found that he was moving northwest
by north, the wind having changed in
the night. There was no diminution In the
force of the gale, and the vessel was kept
scudding along before the wind under bare
poles until Saturday afternoon, when the
Captain again hove her to. For forty four
hours the crew had b%en at the pumps with
out cessation, and without food or drink or
sleep. The vessel began to leak badly. The
forecastle was washed away, and the seas
began to break over her sides, breaking in
her bulwarks and scattering the bunks and
effects of the seamen. About 5 o’clock
Saturday afternoon the Captain found that
the vessel was sinking rapidly.
The men were exhausted and faint for
want of sleep and food, and he himself had
no rest for thirty-six hours. As good luck
would bave it, about this time- the wind
moderated and the sea went down enough
to allow the launching of the 6mall boat.
This was done with safety, and the Captain,
mate, cook and crew of five men left the
vessel and got Into the boat, not having
even time to secure food, water or clothing,
except, such as they had on their hacks, the
vessel not being more than a foot above
water and still sinking. Not knowing his
whereabouts the Captain headed the boat
northwest, hoping to come iu sight of land
or strike a passing vessel. He was soon out
of sight of his vessel, the night being very
dark, but knows she must have gone down
V ry shortly after he left her.
On Saturday night the wind freshened
again, and the rain fell in torrents. The
only thing to be done was to keep the boat
before the wind, which was done with diffi
culty. About midnight the boat shipped a
sea which knocked the Captain and mate
under the thwarfs and filled the boat half
full of water. Fortunately there were two
buckets aboard, which were used for bail
ing out the water, and the boat was soon
righted again, and her course was continued
northwestward. At two o’clock on Sunday
afternoon the Captaiu sighted a vessel to
windward, which proved to be the schooner
Moseiy. As soon as the Captain of the
schooner saw the boat, he hove to and took
the castaways on board.
Cant. Thompson says that he cannot, speak
too highly of the conduct of Capt. Dow,
who did everything in his power for him
and his exhausted and half-famished crew.
He even supplied him with his own cloth
ing and gave up his own bed in order that
he might recover comfortably from his
fatigue.
The brig Alphonse was built at Quebec
ten years ago, and was 338 tons burden,
American register. She was owned by J. &
G. Fowler, of New York, and was valued at
<IIO,OOO. The cargo, which was owned by
and consigned to the owners of the vessel,
consisted, as above stated, of sugar and mo
lasses, and was valued at $38,000. The
Captain is under the impression that both
the vessel and cargo were insured. Capt.
Dow, of the schooner Moseiy, which
rescued Capt. Thompson and crew, sailed
from Boston to Charleston on Monday
the 23d Instant, with a general cargo con
signed to M. Goldsmith & Son. For the
first three days he had pleasant weather and
light winds. He then encountered a heavy
southeast sea. On Thursday the sea ran
very high, and the wind freshened from the
northeast. The vessel, however, ran along
easily until Sanday about 10 o’clock, when
she sighted the Swedish bark Herald, bound
from Mobile to Gottenburg, with signals of
distress flying. The Captain bore down on
her, and, finding her in a sinking condition,
rescued Captain Cedarbarg and his crew of
twelve seamen. On Sunday afternoon the
Captain sighted the boat containing Captain
Thompson and his crew, who he rescued,
as above 6tated. He then came on to
Charleston, and arrived there at 11 o’clock
Monday morning.
The experience of the Captain and crew
of the Swedish bark Herald were no less
startling and interesting than these of the
brig Alphonse. The Swedish bark Herald,
Capt. Cedarberg, belonging to J. F. Strom
berg, of Gottenburg, sailed from Mobile,
August 11, with a cargo of lumber for
Southampton, England. About 4 o’clock
on Tuesday, August 23, it commenced blow
ing very fresh from E. N. E ; had to short
en sail as the wind kept increasing. On
Friday, the 26th, about 2 a. m . there was a
heavy gale from northeast by east, and
about 10 a. m. clewed up all sails except
storm spanker and storm staysail, the stay
sail, which was new, being soon after car
ried away. About 8 p. m. a heavy sea
swept over the vessel, carrying away
boats, bulwarks, part of deck load,
smashing fore part of cabin and filling it
with water, damaging forecastle badly and
ruining provisions. At the tame time four
men were swept overboard, but all were
washed back and saved except Charles Lar
sen, of Gottenburg, ordinary seaman, about
seventeen years of age. The three who es
caped being drowned were seriously In
jured, and will be sent to the hospital. It
was found Impossible to keep the vessel
free with the pump, and on Saturday about
5 a. m., wind northeast by east, had four
feet of water in the hold, and, while she was
kept free as possible, by 12 o’clock there
was an additional foot of water in
the hold. The pumping was kept
up until 4 o’clock, when the water
was gaining so rapidly, and the bark
had such a heavy list, was compelled
to cut away fore and main topmasts to ease
her. This was about 8 p. m. Saturday; the
pumps were going incessantly until Sunday
morning, but without success. The wind
shifted about 12 o’clock Saturday night to
east southeast. Early Sunday all available
sails were set and an attempt made to steer
northeast and reach the nearest port, but
the vessel would not steer, beiEg half full
of water. About 9 a. m., In lat. 33 4 N.,
long. 78 30 W., saw a schooner and Imme
diately set signals of distress, when she
came close to us and proved to be the M. C.
Mo>ely, of and from Boston for Charleston.
Although a very high sea was running at
the time, their yawl boat was safely launch
ed and succeeded in rescuing the Captain,
two mates, steward and eight men, about
midday.

HORRIBLE CATASTROPHE.
Two Officer* Blown to Fragments
by a Torpedo.
Washington, August 30.— The particu
lars of the killing of Lieutenant Com
mander Edes and Spalding by the explosion
of a torpedo, at Newport, R. I, yesterday,
have been received.
Both officers were in the inner harbor in
a torpedo launch, and were putting the
torpedo in position, in order to exhibit au
experiment to Admiral Porter. The torpedo
was to be exploded by the breaking of
an electric circuit. Edes had the
deadly missile in his lap while Spaulding
was rowing the launch. The tide was low,
and the torpedo was planted In about
three fathoms of water. Near by were the
remainder of the class under the instruction
board. Admiral Porter, Capt. Selfridge and
the officers of the torpedo station were on
Goat Island, where the torpedo station is
located, for the purpose of witnessing the
experiment. Edes leaned forward to arrange
the apparatus in the water, when a loud
noise and explosion were heard, and the
two bodies of the unfortunate men were
seen in the air. The bodies went into the
air some 35 feet, and with them ascended
the debris of the boat. The workmen em
ployed on the station waded Into the water
as soon as possible and recovered all that
was possible of the bodies. The class Imme
diately returned to the Island, and an officer
was detailed to go to Narragansett Pier and
break the news to Edes’ wife, who had gone
there this morning for a few days’ visit.
She is from Washington. Spaulding, who
was not married, resided in Portsmouth, N.
H. The Coroner’s jury brought in a verdict
to the effect that Lieutenants Edes and
Spaulding met their death by the accidental
explosion of a torpedo, which would not
have happened had they followed Instruc
tions. No one at the torpedo station is to
blame.
Colonel A. Wood, Merryweather, whom
everybody in Scranton, Pa., knows, writes
and says: “I had long suffered from a de
rangement of the bladder and kidneys; It
had made my general health poor. I also
was troubled with severe indigestion; pills
gave me only temporary relief, and I ex
perienced great anxiety of mind, as well as
physical distress. A friend recommended
Brown’s Iron Bitters. I have used it with
most gratifying results, and just now my
health never was better, and I feel that the
cure is permanent.”
Fatal Runaway at Augusta.
Augusta, Ga., August 30.— John King
Walker wasinstautly killed near this city to
