Cohashet, Mass., Nov. 28.—All doubt con
cerning the supposed loss of the steamer
AUentoivn was dispelled this morning. A
visit to North Scituate beach shows the shore
at that point to be covered with wreckage,
consisting of fire buckets, tables, chairs and
other furniture, all marked “Allentown.”
Capt. Brown of the North Scituate life sav
ing station has made diligent inquiry along
the coaat in search of bodies from the
steamer, but has discovered none as yet. He
advances the opinion that the ship has
'foundered off the Davis or the southeast
light, each of which lie about a mile east of
Uinot’s ledge. An attempt will be made to
reash Minot’s tomorrow morning, for in
formation concerning wrecks.
A Philadelphia dispatch says: Capt.
Odieru and Chief Engineer Campbell of the
wrecked steamer, Allentown, were detained
'in the city as witnesses in a lawsuit, and the
vessel, when she left here, was in charge of
Capt. George W. Paul, who had been first
mate for the past aix months. Chief En*
cincer Campbell's place on the vessel was
taken by Benjamin Pritchard, who has held
the position of assistant engineer for several
year*.

Gloucester, Mass., Nov. 28.—The fishing
nchttoner Percy arrived today from Geode’s
-Banka, having on board Capt. Darran and
the crew of the brig Mary Fink, picked up
yesterday evening twenty-five miles south
east of Thatcher’s Island, Capt. Darran
states that he sailed from Bath at 5 o’clock
Sunday morning for Philadelphia with 625
tons of ice. When ofl'Segairett it began to
blow and snow. The vessel was running a
'Southerly course under upper and lower
topsails; the w ind increased to a hnrrican
and the set sails were blown into ribbons.
The aea washed everything movable from the
deck and carried away tbe bulwarks. The
'teasel was hove to Sunday night and had be
gun to leak. The men worked
incessantly at the * pumps but
the water gained so fast and
tue vessel rolled so heavily that they were
forced on Monday forenoon to abandon her,
she having become unmanageable. The
two mates and a seaman were badly injured
by seas breaking over the veaiel. They lay
by the brig all night in their boat, and sev
eral of the crew were badly irost-bitten.
Tuesday morniag several went on hoard the
vessel again, but were uuable to work her,
she having seven feet of water in her hold,
and they returned to the boat. The Percy
arrived just when tbe crew
-were almost exhausted. ' having
■ t feed for forty-eight hours. The
: Percy took the bring iii tow, but was unable
■to hold her, and finally let her go adrift.
■She was a good vessel of 406 tons, built at
Mills Bidge in 1873, and recently rebuilt at
Boston. .She was owned by Durran <fc El-
well of Philadelphia, her hailing point.
Opt Darran called upon the city physician
here for assistance to send the injured tail
ors to the United States marine hospital at
Boston, and says the icy.ici.ins refused to
art ill the until r at all, an I told lii.n if they
wtute.l to get to Boston, they could walk
there.

SKNATOIt COLQUlrVB SPEECH.
Tie Expresses His Tlianks for Re-election
anil Lettuce His Position.
Semftor Colquitt said: Jfy object in com
ing before you today is not to deliver an
addrvsi. My only purpoee U to express in
<s few words my honest and sincere thanks.
£ M he devoid of all sensibililv and
just feeling if I did not make known to
you how deeply I am affected by the testi
monial you have given me of yonr esteem
nod confidence. You have renewed the
Crust which yon put into my hands s few
years ago. It imposes upon me new obli
gations. It increases my devotion to a
people before whom I have walked and
wei jui I have loved from my childhood. It
strengthens my purpose, amidst evil days
and evil tongues, and thiough all vicissi
tudes U political fortune, whether of vie-
ton or defeat, to maintain their rights and
defend their honor.
Many of yea know that public life la
not free from struggles and irritations, and
that sometimes you will meet with rancor
vad bitterness where you least expected. I
mb not a su anger to such experience. On
the other hand, there are rich rewards and
Qouolstiuna which cheer and gratify the
heart, and this reward and this consols-
tlon yon have given me in
the almost undivided votes, expressive
‘■of your cmfidence and approval,
sudoumos or opposition.
That there should be suggestion of oppo
sition.is not surprising. I have been no
neutral in politics. I have not been eva-
si?e or non'Committal. I have not spoken
in barren generalities, ncr in vague terms,
but freely, independently, emphatically
have I declared my views. Especially in
the last twelve months have I spoken in
unmistakable terms of that foul and un
natural monster, which, under the name of
protection, invades every community to
plunder and destroy. We have reaa of
tho Goths and Vandals and their ravages
upon the splendid monuments of Roman
genius and the proud trophies of Roman
valor. But these do not surpass in enor
mity that legislative warfare that is car
ried on against our trade, our commerce
and our industry.
To be 6ure, we do not see the arm of vio
lence. Our field* are not overruu by a
foreign soldiery, our towns are not con
sumed by fire, onr ships, freighted with
the products of the laborious husband
man, are not plundered by Algerine pir
ates, but the work of destruction is not
lets certainly accomplished by the “in
visible ministry of the law,” which goes
fortlt like the genius of famine and pesti
lence.
The power of monopoly is felt every
where. It has its paid agents, its conspir
ators and its subsidized press. By appeals
to the ambitions of some and to the avar
ice of others, it has combined a confeder
ated strength that threatens the overthrow
of all popular rights and interests. By
concession, by conciliation, I
might have appeased this unsatiated
power, but I preferred to run the hazard
of becoming its victim rather than the in
strument of its oppression.
PRINCIPLES BEFORE POLICY.
It has been whispered in this hall that,
since the defeat of the democratic candi
date for the [presidency, we should abandon
our principles, repudiate the declaration
of our state convention and county meet
ing-, •id of the 60,000 democratic majori
ty oi the state. I am proud to know that
the general assembly of Georgia has not
been seduced into betrayal of her pro
fessed principles. The resolutions of the
tslented member of Bibb, unanimously
adopted by this body, give assurance that
you stand steadfast ana immovable. Only
a trimmer or a traitor would abandon the
effort to reduce the burden of taxation be
cause of our defeat. We will not desert
our post because it is difficult to hold.
We will not fly to the rear ip the presence
of danger. Is our fidelity to a cause to
last only so long as we can rejoice in its
triumph? Are our convictious so fsint
and heartless that they will be abandoned
because of temporary defeat?
The senator appealed to the members to
stand firm to their principles, and then
said:
“While we have met for the purpose I
alluded to, shall we not use the occasion
for a higher, nobler purpose, and pledge
our mutual faith to hold to the last all the
principles we have professed, and that
whoever may prove recreant, we will not
abanded our leaders, non desert the cause
handed down by our fathers, to the keep
ing u d preservation of the Democratic
party ? For one, I don’t mean to desert
them. Whether at home or in public
councils my voice will be heard in their
vindication and my best efforts used to
save the people from unnecessary burdens
and oppressive taxation”

The Prohlbitloniat* Pat Oat Substitutes for
the Aulls on the Conservative Ticket.
Atlanta, Nov. id.—[Special.] — For
some weeks the tenor of the criticism
passed by leading prohibitionists upon the
conservative ticket for mayor and council
has been that they were not at ail satisfied
with its general make-up. While they
were willing to admit that the ticket, as a
whole, was more acceptable to them than
the people’, ticket, a tsc former hod four
prohibitionists on it while the latter had
none, still, many of them expressed a de
termination not to support it, and a meet
ing was called at the court house at which
resolutions were passed against the ticket
and condemnatory of the manner in which
it was-gotten oat and it being supported.
Their mam objection to tne ticket was
that iU head, J. T. Glenn, the candidate
for mayor, Antone Konlz and Joseph
Hirscli were dyed-in-the-wool antis,'and
for this reason the probis could not vote
for them.
Recently several meetings have been
held at the headquarters of the Prohibition
party on Broad street at which the ques
tion of putting out a straight prohibition
ticket was canvassed. I-ast night this mat
ter came to a head and it was decided to
make up a'ticket by adding three prohis
to it, nutting them on the ticket as substi
tutes tor the anti. The fail ticket is an
nounced today and reads as follows: ■
For mayor, William Markham; for
alderman, Wm. Middlebrooks; for council-
men : first ward. J. P. Trotti; second ward.
J. J. Meador; third ward, A. S. Robbins;
fourth ward, J. 8. McLendon; fifth ward,
B. E. Miles; sixth ward, Hugh T. Inman.
The substitutes are Markham, Trotti
and Miles. The former is a well-known
republican who has, upon several occasions
been announced for congress in this dis
trict as the candidate of the Republican
party. The second is a merchant, and the
third is the aurviving member of the firm
of Miles <& Horne, contractors on the
new capitol.
It is said that a ratification meeting will
he held by the prohibitionists in a few
days, when the ticket will be indorsed.
The putting out of this ticket makes tbe
contest for mayor a three-cornered one—
J. Tom Glenn, Walter R. Brown and
William Markham.
A bill is now being put through the leg’
ialature providing for increasing the num
ber of aldermen from five to aix, and,
should the bill become a law, the addi
tional alderman will hive to be elected at
the election which takes place Decem
ber 6.
Cut off Uls Toe. to Clot on Hi a Boot*.
fjC2 the Vorlr THHnnu.
A traveler tells the following story to
illustrate the insensibility of Maoris to
pain: “My friend,” he says, “had given a
Maori a pair of boot* but they were too
short for him. For some time he endeav
ored lo force them on, but this was im
possible ; so he seized a small tomahawk
(hatchet) and cutoff his Urge toe to the
length of hi* other toes, and then applied
tome juice of the flax-plant (“Phormium
tenax") to the cut to stop the bleediDg and
pulled on the boot, which wasnot removed
until the toe healed. He put on the other
boot after a similar operation. X hare
known several instances which appear to
prove that the Maoris art less sensible to
pain than Europeans.”

Willie Wingard Given Ills Freedom by the
Governor—Ills Crime.
Atlanta, Nov. 28.—[Special.]— Gov.
Gordon this afternoon signed a pardon fur
Willie Wingard, a 15-year-old white buy,
who was sent to the penitentiary fur a
term four of years fur the killing of his
stepfather in Savannah.
SVingard was tried at the June term of
the superior court of Chatham county,
and lound guilty of voluntary man
slaughter. The circumstances of the kill
ing are, briefly, as follows; The mot Iter of
young Wingard Mid hia stepfather did not
live happily together, owing to the fact
that Mrs. Wingaid was frequently beaten
and abused by her cruel husband. The
boy frequently witnessed these a Halts, and
finally became so wrought up by their con
stant occurrence that he notified his step
father that the next time it occurred lie
would be made to suffer for his brutality.
Soon after this notice wss served, an
other scene of like character was enacted.
Young Wingard entered the home Tu- It
was going on and. arming himself with a
pistol, he shot and killed his stepfather
Several reasons were assigned by the
governor for granting the pardon, among
them the. age of the boy, the extreme
provocation connected with the affair, the
b>>> - it'll 'I behavior while in contineinent,
and the further fact that a petition was
signed by a large number of prominent
citixena of Savannah for hia pardon.
The order for young Wingard's release
was forwarded to the Dade county coal
mines this afternoon.

Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. 28.—The offi
cial bulletin is as follows: New cases, 3, all
white; deaths, none, total cases, 4,680.
There is great indignation over the refusal
of the board of health to issue a proclama
tion allowing the return of refugees to this
city. There waa talk today of a public meet
ing to deuounce the board, but this did not
meet with sufficient support. Influence is
being brought to hear by refngees to be al
lowed to enter tbe city, and some citizens
here go ao far as to say that they will pro
tect the refugees from arrest in case they
come in on the trains.
Hazen, a returned New York refugee, who
has been residing nt Burnside Beach of late,
came to town today and was arrested and
fined $100. He refused to pay the fine, and
now lies in the city jail. On the other hand,
one or two refugees ate known to have come
in on today’s northern train, and no notice
of thd fact waa taken by the police.
TheTimes-Union, in a long leader this
morning, condemned the action of the au
thorities and advocated immediate permis
sion for ths entry of refugees. Among
other things it says: “Experience has
demonstrated that there is little if any
danger of contracting the yellow fever after
the tall of frost. This epidemic does not
differ, ao far as we can tee, from past visi
tations of the disease in other localities.
Frost has been heavy all over the country,
and it is the open sesame which should ad-
mit refugees again within the
gates of their own city. If
the authorities here have not ordered this
wide promulgation of the opinion that it is
safe to return after frost, they hare at least
never spoken a word which could lead refu
gees to think differently. Now, if we are
to be guided by the dominant idea of yester
day’s tripartite conference, frost has nothing
to do with removing or lessening the danger
of taking the disease. This can be removed
only by disinfection. Who ever heard of
wholesale disinfection before, or who ever
heard of shutting the people out of a city
while It is in progress? What a metamor
phosis we have already had! Two frosts,
one light, the other moderately heavy.
Now, what valid reason can be
given for refusing refugees an entrance here?
Two-thirds or three-fourths of them would
come to houses that have not been infected,
even if we admit this to be a factor of dan
ger after the fall of frost. We shall be play
ing the refugees false if we keep them out
any longer. We have been told that frost
would lemove all danger, and now suddenly
to take all this back and compel them to
wait for nearly four weeks while disinfec
tion is in progress, would he unwarranted,
unprecedented, unjust and even tyranical.”
A CASE IN NEW YORK.
New York, Nov. 28.—Another case of
yellow fever .was reported by Dr. Geo. C.
Wilson tomaht in the person of Raphael
DeLano, of 76 Mulberry street. DeLnno
arrived from Jacksonville with his wife and
two children today, and waa taken sick
soon after Isis arrival. Shortly after noon
black vomit began and Dr. Wilson notified
the police and the hoard of health, which nt
once had him removed to the reception
hospital. DeLnno told the doctor
that he had been in Jacksonville
during the epidemic and had nursed
several patients, but had never caught it
himself. As the man and his family at once
went ton dvneeiy populated Italian or.after,
fears are entertained that the gemis may
have spread. Dr. Edson of the health
board said lie had not learned of the case
until 11 o’clock tonight, and that he had
uot madean investigation.
REMOVAL OF RESTRICTIONS RECOMMENDED.
Washington, Nov. 28.—Surgeon Porter
at Jacksonville, Fla , today telegraphed to
Surgeon-General Hamilton that as two frosts
have occurred, and the fever is principally
confined to Sonth Jacksonville, across the
river, he recommends that the restrictions
on railroads ruuDing into the city be re
moved ao far aa to permit citizens to leave

An Alleged Confession Introduce,
JPHsooer In His Own It.tmtr
CniCAGO, Nov. 28.—The criminal court
roern wag crowded thU morning when
the Hronecke dynamite trial waa resumed,
Hronecke has changed a good deal in hia ap
pearance since yesterday morning. He
looks worried and shifted about nervously
in iris aeat and eagerly listened to every
word of the testimony.
The first witneis was Officer Muchaski,
one of Inspector Bonfield’a Bohemian detec
tives. He gave the jury tbe details of a
confession made by Hronecke after his ar
rest. After the conspirators hail beep
put in jail Muchaski visited Hronecke in his
cell. Hronecke hnd a copy of the Daily
News in iris hand. “I have fuel been read
ing here,” he said, “that some of the people
who were arrested witli me are giving things
away and putting all the blame on me.
Now, I am going to tell the whole truth.”
Muchaski then arranged a meeting between
Hronecke und Inspector Bonficld and a
stenographer in the library of the jail.
Hronecke’a revelations at thia and subse
quent interviews were atated. This officer’ll
testimony waa corroborated in part by Officer
Louis Haas.
Officer Shauer testified that
July 22, in the states attorney’s
office in an additional • statement
Hronecke said that Capek told him tbe Ger
man anarchists wanted to start a fire in the
city to avenge the death of Spies. Capek had
also given him some bombs, beccause, as
Capex said, he was too well known to use
them.
Inspector Bonfieid was cross-examinad
without result and the state rested the case.
For the defense Hronecke was put on the
stand and arid that be waa not an anarchist,
and never h«d been one. He never be
longed to an anarchist society and did not
believe there was such a thing in existence.
He them made a general den.al of the truth
of Clilebun’s story. He never made, manu
factured, bought, sold or procured any
dynamite. He never said that he was at the
Haymarket, and was not there. He had
never been harmed by Bonfieid, Gary
or Grinnell and had no reason for
seeking revenge on them, nor did he
ever threaten to do so. He never said that
he was prepared to kill President Cleveland,
or would go into a court room with bombs.
Kaarafiat, he said, left a box of bombs anil
dynamite at his house in October, 1886, and
never returned for it. He had never heard
from Kaarafiat bat once since then, and that
was when lie received a letter from him,
soon after the bomba were left at this house.
Hronecke said he grew afraid and threw fif
teen of them into the river.
On cross-examination Hronecke laid the
bonds found in the woodshed were put there
by an o d man who boarded at the house,
and who picked them up on the Luke front
among refuse. They were designed to hold
paint and for other harmless uses. The
court then adjourned until Friday.
GROWING MORE SERIOUS.
Engineers, Firemen anil ;ilrnktnien; Dis
posed to Join the Sinking Switchmen.
Indianapolis, Nov. S8.—The switchmen’s
strike has assumed a new and threatening
phase. Traffic in the yards and on the belt
road moved along with regularity today.
The officials assert that new men are apply
ing constantly.
The situation with the strikers had grown
desperate; they must do something, and,
consequently, they called a seoret confer
ence last night with the engineers and fire
men, at which a very strong sentiment fav
orable to the switchmen was manifested.
After prolonged discussion a decision was
readied which the striking men hailed with
pleasure. In accordance with the action
of the meeting, a committee
omnosed o( representatives of the three
brotherhoods was appointed to call upon the
officers of the various roads today anil re
quest them to submit the matter at issue be
tween them and the switchmen to arbitra
tion. Thia forenoon the committee called on
several superintendents and followed its In
structions. No threat accompanied the
request and the officials were left tu judge
for themselves whether refusal to heed
it will lead to greater complications.
That they regarded this phase
of the trouble as mnch more serious than
mere surface appearances indicate, is evident
from the haste with which they gathered
into secret conference at the Union
station. The result of this confer
ence of superintendents has aa yet
Liken no definite form, either fer arbi
tration or concession. The brakemen
have keen outspoken in their sympathy for
tho switchmen ever since the strike began.
On several occasions early in the trouble
they refused to fill plac-s vacated by atrikera
and were discharged. This action they took
simply as individuals, but it is now under
stood that their brotherhood has passed on
the qnestion and officially instructed its
members to fill no places which switchmen
have abandoned.
