A hard run of luck seems to follow the
Americanized sailing bark Sophia, form
erly a Danish craft, which was spoken at
sea by the Cephalonia and arrived at Ban
try with decks swept, dismasted and wa
terlogged on a voyage from Halifax to
Tralee. On her last outward voyage from
Cadiz with a cargo of salt for Halifax, she
vas forty-six days on the passage, with
windlass gone and crew exhausted by
working the pumps, the vessel having
rprung a leak on the passage, and they
ware unable to wofk the cra'ft into Hali
fax harbor without the aid of a tug. The
Sophia, previous to her voyage to Cadiz,
had been at this port for several months,
having put in here in distress, after sus
taining considerable damage to her hull
by striking on Sapelo bar. She was con
demned and sold. Mr. James Foley and
other Savannah parties were the pur
chasers, and she was repaired and put
under the American flag. Her master,
Capt. Pedersen, took out naturalization
papers, which enabled him to continue in
command of the vessel. An account of
the Sophia'6 last voyage is published in
another column.
Nine days from Philadelphia to St. John,
Porio Rico, was the time made by the
Baltimore barkentine Hattie G. Dixon,

INCENTIVE FOR INFORMERS.
MONEY* MAY' NOT BE AVAILABLE
FOR EXPOSING MOONSHINERS.
Southern Members Sneered in Kill
ing the Appropriation Clause in
Committee of the Whole—Mr. Can
non to Make II Motion to Have the
Action Reconsidered —Chairman
Cannon Explain* the Henson for
an Increase of the Appropriation.
Washington, Feb. 23.—A variety of sub
jects occupied the attention of the House
to-day during the consideration of the
sundry civil appropriation bill. The South
ern members, who have for years been
fighting the appropriation for “informers”
on illicit distilleries, succeeded in killing
the appropriation in committee of the
whole, but chairman Cannon gave notice
that he would demand an aye and nay
vote in the House.
A resolution was adopted Inquiring of
the treasury department what has been
done by the United States to prevent the
conveyance to the Cubans of articles pro
duced in the United States, also as to the
prevention of filibustering.
The general debate having closed yes
terday, to-day the reading of the sundry
civil bill for amendment under the five
minute rule was begun.
The appropriation of $75,000, for the de
tection of violations of the internal reve
nue laws, caused some debate.
Mr. Kitchen, Don., of Tennessee, and
Mr. Linney, Rep., of North Carolina,
were bitter in their denunciation of the in
justice of the system of paying for infor
mation. The former moved to strike out
the item. It provided a premium, they
contended, upon false prosecutions.
Mr. Kitchen denounced the “dirty scoun
drels” who informed for pay, and declared
that frivolous prosecutions would not
cease as long as the government paid for
testimony.
Chairman Cannon explained that the in.
crease in the appropriation Of this fund
from $50,000 to $75,900 was due to the in
crease of the tax on whisky to sl.lO a gal
lon. A gallon of whisky cost less than
20 cents. The evasion of the tax gave a
profit of 90 cents a gallon. A mere state
ment of the case showed the necessity for
using other than ordinary means for se
curing Information.
Mr. Evans, Rep., of Kentucky, who is
an ex-collector of Internal revenue, sup
posed the item and said that he proceed
ed on the theory (hat the moonshine in
dustry must not arid shall not be preserv
ed. He was opposed to the doctrine.
After some further debate by Messrs.
Tate, Dem., of Georgia, Swanson, Dem.,
of Virginia, and Pearson* Rep., of North
Carolina, in favor of the amendment, and
by Mr. Sayers, Dem., of Texas, in oppo
sition to it, the vote was taken and the
amendment to strike out the appropriation
was adopted.
Mr. Cannon gave notice that he would
ask for an aye and no vote when the bill
was reported.
The House soon adjourned.
VEGETABLE PARTY OF THE 400.
Mr. Maliany Denounce* a Kevel
YVhlle Sailor* Are Being Hurled.
Washington, Feb. 23.—At this Juncture
Mr. Mahany, Rep, of New York, Inter
rupted by delivering a five-minute speech
in denouncing what he termed the “revels”
of the so-called 400 of New York while
the nation was In mourning for the loss
of the pallors of the Maine. While the
mangled remains of the brave sailors who
perished in that awful explosion were be
ing carried to their graves, the so-called,
self-denominated 4CO of New York held a
social revel which was termed a "vegeta
ble parly.” The speaker contrasted Die
feeling manifested by the so-called social
leaders in the metropolitan city of the
United Stales and the condition in Lon
don when tho Camperdown sank the Vic
toria. in London on that occasion there
was everywhere [!ss black badge of mourn
ing. Every social function was abandon
ed, while in New York the social leaders
wearied high heaven with their revels.
Yet, in their last campaign, these game
people prated of national honor when a
financial question was n the coun
try. A few days ago when the national
head was bowed and dismembered frag
ments of her dead were going to
their graves, ho said, they were utterly
oblivious to their grief. He did not de
sire, he said, to reflect on the rich. There
was a distinction between (hose who em
ployed capital In a productive capacity
and those who were drones and users of
wealth, who" toKed not nor spun, but who
were using it to disturb the nation's hour
of moyrning by their revels. (Applause).
He would hot hesitate, he Said,’ so far as
he was concerned, to endeavor to free
the skirts of the Republican party from
association with-those mere possessors and
spenders, of the. rich who presumed to
represent national honor when ihey
thought their bonds wer* threafirhed, but
who had not a tear for those who went to
their graves in its defense. (Applause.)
Mr. 'Mahany referred to the "vegetable
party”, given by Abram S. Hewitt of New
York on the cvehing of Feb. 17.
RIG BLOW AT CANDLER.
Several Buildings Demolished ami
Other Itiiiuaue Done.
Candler, Fla.. Feb. 23.—A terrible .storm
of wind and rain, accompanied by (ho
heavies* fall of hqtl ever seen here, swept
over this place late Saturday afternoon.
The storm came from the Northwest, nnd
for half an hour the rainfall was the heav
iest for a long time; hall as large as hen
eggs fell In great quantities, piling up a
foot deep in many places. The growing
vegetable crops suffered severely. ' And
the young tender growth on the orange
trees was broken off very badly. A great
deal of timber was blown down, and
fences were laid low.
The large two-story packing house of
Frank Moses was completely wrecked.
The residence of L. B. Smith was blown
from the foundations and set flat on the
ground.
A house belonging to W. W. Felter rf
Kane, 111., was also blown off the blocks.
Capt. T’. M. Rickard's wind mill and
tank was blown down. Prof. Henry Rick
ards lost a fine cow, being kililed by the
falling Umber. Almost every window on
the north and west sides of the houses
were demolished, were not protected by
blinds. This part of Florida has never
been visited before by such a severe
storm, that is In the memory of the olo
et settlers.
J. Y. McKinney had just completed a
pineapple shed, covering one acre oj
ground; this was leveled to the ground and
Is quite a heavy loss. The lettuce crop
was being shipped, and the crop was fine,
but the plants are badly hurt by (he hail.
Cabbage also suffered severely.
The orange trees are coming out much
better than was expected after the cold
snap, and the trees were nearly covered
with young growth, but to-day the trees
are almost stripped by the
heavy fall of hail'
MAY III! A FIRE 810.
Suspicious Conduct of n 10-Yenr-Old
Negro Boy.
Frank Adams, a negro boy, about 16
years old, Is held at the barracks as a
suspicious character.
Adams was arrested early yesterday
morning on Jefferson street near Ander
son with a jug of kerosene oil In his hand
and a box of matches In his pocket. He
could give no satisfactory account of how
he came in possession of the oil. Ho at
first said the jug had Vinegar in It. Then
he said he got Ihe jug and oil from his
uncle. A later Investigation showed this
to be untrue.
Adams’ suspicious actions and the sus
picious character of the things he was
carrying led the police to believe he was
an incendiary. Recorder Hartridge con
tinued his case for further Investigation.
