District Knormons Plaeera Uncovered.
flj Seattle, Wash., July 27. Among the minors
j who are outfitting hero for the Klondlko Is Mr.
M. T. Fitzgerald. Replying to an Inquiry about
I the Northwest Territories, he saldt " The Klon-
dike Is but a speck on the mnp ot that
I great gold country. Last souson I spent
I ilz months In the Peace River country
jH in the Interest of tho Forty-third Mining
fl Company of Ottawa, going in the capacity of a
(I prospector. Our exploring party Included
m thirty-one men and sixty-three horses. Ash-
croft, llritish Columbia, on the Canadian Factflo
( Railroad, was the starting point, thence over
' the Cariboo wagon road to the Quetnello River,
220 miles. Crossing Upper Fraier River, we
. travellod northwesterly, following the old tele-
graph trail to Stewart Lake, stopping at Fort St.
Jainea. distant 200 miles from Quesnelle, and
4S0 miles from Ashcrott.
" We struck the gold country at Horsefly and
were In it the rest of the Journoy. Crossing
Stewart Lako at Fort James wo took the trail
to Hanson Creek, travelling ISO miles
to tho Oralneca country, where Col. Wright
of Ottawa and Capt. Black ot Victoria are open
ing up large hydraullo mines for their
respective companies. Hero coarse gold
is found together with nuggets of silver,
being the only place in America out
side of Mexico where stiver in this form
has been discovered. Camping at Black Jack,
we prospected the country and made a number
nf InnnttnnR an which mnchlnerv has since been
(placed, and mines are now In operation.
" Breaking camp at Black Jack, we crossed
the Omlneca River Into an unexplored region,
travelling north 370 miles from Omlneca or 840
miles northwest ot Ashcrott, our initial point.
This brought us Into the Peace River country,
where we spent the balance ot the season, prospecting-
and locating mining claims.
"We took up 2,300 acres of placer ground
along the Peace River. At a depth of 18
feet we struck bedrock and found the ground
to prospect 9300 to the cuhlo yard, and
In some instances as high as $600 were
obtained. The largest result were ob
tained, on the rlvor bars. The gold Is coarse
and is what Is termed barley gold with occa
sional nuggets worth from 910 to 918. Peace
River Is aboui the size ot Fraier at
Quesnelle, fully halt a mile wide, flowing
east through a low country for a dis
tance fully 1.500 miles into the Great
Slavs with Its source on the eastern slope
ot what we termed spurs of the Rooky Moun
tains and far south ot the Klondlko and Stewart
rivers. It will be the first county to receive tho
overflow from Klondike and Yukon, and Its
record will prove interesting.
"While the season U short, like that of the
Klondike, there are some advantages possessed
over that country. The ground never freezes to
such depth, and mining Is much easier. What
Is known as the Axctlo Divide lies south of the
Peace River, but the vegetation grows quite
rank In the few short months of summer. Buch
vegetables as turnips, onions, and radishes have
been grown along the shores of Stewart Lake.
, "A wandering band ot Indians known as
Foxes, very peacefully disposed, live In this
. country, trapping and hunting for the Hudson
;: Bay Company. I purpose prospecting tho
; country between the Klondike and Peoco
rivers, and I will go out well prepared for tho
journey. The Northwest Territories are now
surprising the world, and they have still greater
surprises In store."
There were no steamers satllmr direct for
Alaska from Seattle to-day, but tho city is full
of men waiting for vessels that will depart
nearly every day from July 80 to Aug. 0. The
steamer Kingston carried out over 200 men to
night to connect with the Islander, sailing from
; Victoria to-morrow.
WARXIXO O OLD SEEKERS.

Will Tempt Fate irThey Start arext Fall.
1 8an Fraxcisco, July 27. Another shipload of
' Klondike prospectors sailed to-day on the
steamer State of California for Portland, where
she will connect with tho steamer George W.
I Elder for Juneau. Soventy were booked for
f the Ynkon, and tho greater part were tender-
& feet who never hod any experience. Three
I were bell boys from a leading hotel. Four girls
on tho wharf sang: "Oh, there'll bo warm
, times on the Klondike to-night," a paraphrase
' of a popular negro melody, which gained ap-
1 plauso from the crowd.
f Tho crazo still continues here, but the warn-
1 lngs in regard to the danger of not reaching
1 the Klondike In season to avoid snow are hav
ing their effect, as are also reports from Dyea
that Indians and pack mules cannot transport
one-quarter of tho supplies which have been
piled up thero during tho last week.
Eastern expeditions which oxpect to start
from hero as late as the middle of August and
go by way of 8L Michael will surely come to
grief, as they cannot possibly get more than
half way up the Yukon before tho river freezes
over, and transport for the remainder of tho
distance will havo to be by tho slow and costly
methods ot sledges.
Louis Sloss, tho bead of tho Alaska Commercial
Company, said to-day: "I regard it as a crime
for any transportation company to encourage
men to go to the Yukon this fall. With tho
present and prospective rush, it will be Im
possible to get enough provisions through to
supply the demand. The Seattle peoplo who are
booming the steamship lines may be sincere, but
a heavy responsibility will rest on their shoul
ders should starvation and crime prevail In
Dawson City next winter.
" Wo have tried to give tho facts to all appli
cants and discourage this wild rush of clerks,
' professional men and women who are unused
to any hardships and whose chances of getting
out ot the country alive will bo very slender,
1 even though they should muko money. Con-
I ditlons are radically different from thoso in
I California in tho early days. Tboso who crossed
1 the plains or came by the Isthmus found hero a
1 genial climate and plenty of food, Thoy also
1 turned to other vocations when mining proved
I unprofitable. But on tho Yukon, if a roan can't
1 get work as a miner, ho mutt leave tho country
, or starve. If It Is winter ho cannot getout, and
to, Bhoull the food supply run low, hundreds
I will perish miserably. Honco I repeat It Is a
i criiuu to encourugo this rush, which can only
end In disaster for three-quarters of the new ur-
rival 8,"
Notwithstanding this warning from tho head
of tho company, tho Alaska Commercial Com-
panj b steamer Excolslor will Bull to-morrow
afternoon loaded to the guards with freight and
villi 111) passongers. Theeo include about a
dozen newspaper correspondents and artists,

m dike gold discoveries, und the City of Topeka,
, sailing to-morrow, has already refused more
than 100 ninn, who will now soekpassage on the
Alkl, sailing on Aug. 2. in spite of the fact that
thero Is no ndcquatn means of getting supplies
ovor the pass from Dyea? to tho lakes.
It Is reported that scores of men are starting
out from Dyet with picks and with what provis
ions they can carry on their backs. leaving their
supplies behind; but a hand of Indian packers
atonoot tho most difficult points on the trail
turn all such mon back, by tone when necessary,
in spite of protests.
Tho Indians tloclaro that no man will bo al
lowed to go across tho pass without sufficient
pro visions to keep him through the wlntor.
Soven thousand tons of supplies were at Dyea
when the City nf Topokalett the north, and as
much moro will go on every steamer now sched

across the pass unless horses now ou the way to
Dyea are found to bo able to carry packs across

for all the men and supplies to reach the other
side, hut If not hundreds of Impatient mou must

Kx-Collector of Customs Watson and his
party of California capitalists are now building
sleds and boats here, and will try a now scheme
to cross thopats. taking horses to drag sleds and

Tho City of Topoka last night brought news
that men liavo gone out from Junoau to search
for n now pass to relievo Dyea travel, but no re
ports had been rvcelvod from thorn before tho
steamer sailed. The men claim that a better
pass than via Dyea can bo found from Taku. a
little south, and old Alaskan prospectors aro in
clined to think It probable.
From the present outlook, however. It Is prob
able that news will soon come from Juneau and

Canada Won't Rnroree Uer Allen t-rt Against
Americans at Iter Diggings.
Toronto, Ontario, July 27. It is now certain
that the threatened retaliation by Canada
against tho United States by enforcing tbo Allen
Labor law against American miners In the
Canada mining camps will not como to any
thing. A semi-official announcement In tho
Oft be, the Dominion Government organ, to-day
is to that effect.
It says that on tho question of alien miners
tho Dominion hasheretofore followed tho policy
of the Imperial Government In leaving tho re
sources of the empire for development by all
men freely and without regard to race or na
tionality. Tho motives underlying this liber
ality are strictly politic It Is manifestly good
policy to permit all willing workers to help
build up and increase tho greatness of tho em
pire without Inquiry Into their nationality. Nor
Is It likely that a policy which has proved so
beneficial in furthering the growth In commerco
and power of the empire of Great Britain will
ever be abandoned.
AnatY POST O-Y THE XtTKOX.
A Company May Start tor circle City Early
Belt Mouth.
WjtsnrsoTOK, July 27. Tho President and
Secretary Alger had a conference at the White
House to-night arranging tho necessary official
notion tor the establishment of tho proposed
military post In the Alaska gold fields. There
was some talk about the practicability of tho
step at to-day's Cabinet meeting, and a question
as to the right of the Executive to direct tho
establishment of a military command in tho
territory without tho approval ot Congress was
brought up. Tho sentiment of the Presi
dent and Cabinet, however, was in favor ot
going ahead. Doubt as to tbo authority of
the Executive were disposed of by reference to
the Attorney-General for an opinion. The opin
ion, delivered later In the dav, supported tho
contention of those who desire the post to be es
tablished. It la held that tho President has the
right to send troops to any of. the territories to
protect the Interests of the United States and
that the appropriations for the transportation
ot troops and the malnlenanco of the army may
be used to carry out the project.
Tho chief obstacle in tho way ot the project Is
tho expense. The cost of the expedition was
discussed by tho Cabinet, and the figures given
for one company showed that It could not be car
ried out without a gTrat drain on the resources
of the army. Transportation would amount to
a largesiim.andthe freight rates on thesnnply
of provisions, clothing, tents, and general bag
gage would make necessary the expenditure of
a groat deal of money. Some doubt was also ex
pressed about the ohancet ot tbo expedition
reaching Its permanent location before the win
ter commonced. After a discussion lasting for
some time, the President said be had not de
cided fully what he would do, but Indicated an
Intention to render a decision to-morrow before
bis departure from Washington.

CnETEHME, Wy., July 27. Capt. Patrick
Henry Ray of the Eighth United States In
fantry, stationed hero, received telegraphio
orders to-day from the Secretary ot War direct
ing him to go to tho Yukon country, Alaska,
and establish a United States military post.
Capt. Ray said:
"I will havo in my command one company of
Infantry consisting of sixty-two enlisted men,
two lloutcnants, and two surgeonB. I have not
been advised what men I am to take. To-day
all ot my company and about 100 other
privates in the regiment asked me to take them.
I will bo prepared to leave Seattle by August,
and will proceed by sea to St. Michael. I will go
up the river, and probably establish quarters
near old Fort Yukon before the winter season
closes In. I recommended tho establishment of
a milltnry poft at that placo In 1B83, after ray
return from Alaska, and had it been established
It would huvo proven of immense advantage to
the Americans.
"Tbo present rush of prospectors and miners
over the Chllkoot Pass routo is extremely Ill
advised. Thousands will perish from hun
ger and oxiosurc, and the Government
would do a humane act If It would place
troocs on the pass to turn peoplo liack after
a certain timo. Tho gold regions can bo reachod
without hardship by on overland routo through
tho British possessions skirting tho eastern
slope of tho Rockies. Cattle could even bo
driven by this routo."
Capt. liny has been in tho army since 1801.
Ho served with distinction in tho volunteer ser
vice during tho war and entered tho regular
briny In 1867. Ho took part In tbo Sioux
and Aptcho campaigns. , In 1881 Capt.

XIV TUB COXXECT10VT CASE,
John Weeks of Ilanttnton Taken Into Custody
Ills Ilrothr-ln-Law, Charles Dolnar.
Leaves tho Place Suddenly neasons for Be
lieving: That the Men Committed the Crime.
BninonronT, Conn., July 27. John Wocks of
nuntlngton was arrested this afternoon and
brought to Police Headquarters in this city.
Thepollco are confldont that ho Mono of the
men that robbed tho house of Goorgc Marcus
Nichols In Danlols Farms Inst Wednesday night
nnd murdered tho ownorand shot Mary Nichols,
tho dead man's sister. Tho arrest of Weeks is
tho result ot the work ot the detectives on tho
line laid out at the start of their work on tbo
case, that the Job was done by porsons living In
the neighborhood.
Tho result ot to-day's work did not turn out
just ns tho detectives hoped It would. Thoy
had planned to get two men, but found that ono
of t hem had escaped. Charles Botnny, who the
detectives think plannod tho work nnd helped
to carry It out, left Huntington suddenly yester
day. For more than a week It was known thnt
he was there, but ho kept very closo to the
house. For several days tho detectives havo
boen watching tho neighborhood, but were not
prepared to mako an arrest. In some way the
suspicions ot tho detectives becamo known, and
fearful that Bolnay and Weeks would hoar of It,
they deolded to mako a move to-day. It Is prob
able that Bolnay did hear ot the move and dis
appeared. Boinay Is a brother-in-law of Weeks. He was
married to Carrio Weeks on June 15 last. His
business Is selling cheap Jowolry and small
household articles and housewives' supplies to
people in the country. That would give him a
knowledge ot tho people In the neighborhood.
Since his marriage to Carrlo Weeks ho has mado
Huntington his home, and has spent most ot the
time at bis wifo's homo, except when away on
trips in the country selling his wares. Bolnay
is also believed to bo a fugitive from Justice,
being wanted by tho authorities of Dutchess
county for robberios committed there last winter.
In New York State Bolnay was known as Ma
son, and It Is said his plcturo Is In tho Rogues'
Gollory as Bolnay, alias Mason. Tho manner in
which the Nichols murder was commlttod cor
responds partly with tho methods employed by
tho robbers when they were operating in Dutch
ess county, and the moagre description given of
ono of tho mon tallies with Mason. In the first
masked burglaries Andy McCabe, a former
sailor, who was captured on Christinas Day, as
sisted. He confessed, and was sent to Sing Sing
for ten yearn. In his confession It appears that
Mason often spoke of going to Bridgeport, say
lug he had relatives there.
Tills afternoon Superintendent Birmingham
and Detoctlvos Arnold and Cronan of this city
and Detectives Lolth and Wilkes, tho Plnkerton
men at work on tho case, left tho city. They
drove to tho residence of David Cole, in the
"Isinglass district, " so colled. In Huntington,
wheroWeiks makes his home. The house Is
about a mile from Huntington ccntro on a high
way seldom used.
The road leading to tho houso is narrow, with
woods on each side, the branches from the trees
coming so close together as to form a canopy
over the road and making almost a hidden road
way. When tho officers arrived at tho house,
which lsaoncstory-and-a-half cottage standing
back some dlstinco from the raid, and stoppei
at the gate, the place seemod desorted. Tho
curtains were all drawn, and thero was not a
sign of life. The officers left tho carriago and
mado a search of tbe nremises.
In passing a window Superintendent Birming
ham noticed the curtain drawn back a little,
and ho saw a woman's face peering out. A
knock nt the door was answered by a young
woman. In response to an Inquiry for Mr.
Weoks. she said he was ou t picking berries with
Mrrand Mrs. Colo, and that she was alone In
the house. The young woman was Mrs. Charlos
Boinay, tho wife of the man tho officers were
after. When asked where her husband was she
said ho hud gone to New York yesterday and sho
did not know whon he would return.
Then a search of the house was made. There
are four occupants of tho bouse and a revolver
for each, and one to spare was found. All were
fully loaded and ot largo calibre. In one room
was found a small satchel, in which was a lot of
cheip Jewelry and packages of needles and pins,
such as fakirs peddle thruueb tbo couutrj vil
lages. In the satchel also were found a number
ot ,38-callbre curtrldgee. .
One of tho revolvers in tho house was B3U
calibre. The officers Moo tenured some clothing
and a lot of letters. In tho house w cm found
copies of nearly every New York and Bridge
port nowsnnper since the day of the Nichols
murder, while thi officers were senrchlngtba
house theyoung wife looked on and said nothing,
but evaded tbo questions which tbo dclecth es
put to her.
After tbo search was completed the ofllcers
waited for Weeks to return. Grandfather Cole,
aged 82 years, came first, accompanied by his
wife. Thoy both had palls of berries which thoy
had gathered. After some time Weeks arrived.
Weeks has the repututlon In Huntington of
belncr a bad vounor man and a tlshter. As ho
stepped to the gates Superintendent Birming
ham, who was standing just Inside, said to him:
" What Is your name I
"John Weeks," he repliod.
"You're tho man wo want," Bald Birmingham,
at thi same time grabbing him by the wrist.
Weeks drew back a little, nnd made a moo
with his other hand toward his pockot, Dotec
thes Arnold and Lelth were too quick for him.
They held him socurely. Ho had a 32-callbro
revolt or in his pocket fully loaded. He was
disarmed. When the other Inmates ot tho houso
woroquetlor.od about Bolnay they all said that
be had left yesterday morning, and they did not
know when ho would return. Before tho detoo
tlvis hod told Weeks what he wus wanted for
aged Mrs. Cole said:
" Don't you be afraid, John; you can prove an
alibi."
Tbo stories told by all practically agree as to
Bolnay s doparture. Weeks wu brought to this
city and locked up. Tbo police also credit
Bolnay and Weeks with tbe robbery ot the
bouse ot John Nichols In the village of Nicholson
on tho night of May 21 last. Tho descrip
tion of the robbors as given by Kato
Nichols, daughter, who hod quite a long
talk with them whllo they wore In tho house,
corresponds with Bolnay nnd WockB. In tho
clothing which tho officers took away to-day
belonging to Weeks tbe detectives bellovetbey
have found a clue. Miss Kato Nichols, in her
statement to tbo authorities, said ut tbe time
the robbers wero engaged in fastening tho ropos
around her father ono of them bent oor, and
sho noticed that on tho trousers one of the men
wore thero was an lrreular natch. To dav in
tho room occupied by Weeks tncro wns found n
pair of trousers, very mudd) and wrinkled, as
it they had teen wet, with an irregular patch
on tho seat, such as Mies Nichols described,
Tho bullet taken from Miss Mary Nichols's
Shoulder was a 32-rnllbrc. Tho revolver found
on Weeks to-day was of the same calibre.
Weeks Is 23 years old, of sturdy build, and has
dark, piercing c) os, such ns Mnry Nichols says
sho notlcod ono of tho robbers hud when tho
mask partly fell from his fsco whllo thoy wero
enjoying their feast the night of the murder.

$500,000 FIRE IN YONKERS.
JJXO BAT FACTORIES AXD BILK
MILLS DESTROTED.
The Fire Htarlrd About S o'clock In tbo After
noon 1,SOO fCmp1o)ees Were nt Work
Unly Two Hurt Two Others nrported to
lie Missing Two Kill Ire DIocksDurned Over,
Soveral buildings in tho ccntro of tho busi
ness portion of Yonkors and used for manufac
turing purposes wero destroyod by flro last
night, tbo dnmago being estimated nt nbout
$500,000. Tho loss Is fully covered by Insur
ant e.
Tho flro started about S o'clock In tho old
Wnrlng building on Elm stteot, a fivo-story
strucluro, 300 feet in depth, and having a
frontago of seventy feet on Elm street,
Thoro woro ovor a thousand mon, women, and
children nt work thero when Charlos Chester
field, tho engineer, discovered tho flro in tho
blowing room of tho Emplro Hat Works, altuat od
In tho lowor part ot tho building, and owned by
William M, Rood & Co.
The alarm wns communicated to tho peoplo on
tho third floor, whore Georgo K. Skinner had his
silk works, and to tho fourth floor, whero 300
hatters wero at work In the employ of Puss
Brothors.
Tho top floor wns unoccuplod, and many of tho
girls employed on the third and fourth floors
ran to tho top loft for safety. When they found
tho entlro building enveloped in finmes they
climbed out on the flro escapes and mado tholr
way to the ground.
Halt a dozen men who Jumped from second
story windows received slight Injuries, and one
woman received a fracture ot tho anklo by fall
ing out ot a window. James Cairns, employed
in Reed's establishment, jumped from a second
story window and sprained his ankle.
Whon tho Fire Departmont arrived tho flames
had spread to an adjolnlngbulldlng, a long brick
structure used by John Rowland as a hat fac
tory. Halt an hour after the Arc was discovered
tho roof caved In and the oast wall fell.
At 0 o'clouk tho fire had spread from Row
land's factory to tho Yonkers City Laundry
building, and then tho flames crept along a
wooden shed to the Empire Hat Works Annox
building, which was completely destroyed.
Twenty feet In tho rear of tho Empiro Annex
was an old frame building used as a storeroom
for hat boxes. Tho flames soon wlpod this out
with its entlro contents.
Tho wind blew the flames along tho linos of
cloth hanging In tho factory yard to dry and sot
flro to Slmmons's hat factory, at tho head of
Ann street. Sevoral boilers exploded in tho
burning buildings.
At 7 o'clock tbo firemen from Mount Vernon
arrived In trolley cars, and, beaded by Chief
William Jewell, marched In a body to tho Are.
They had no engine with them, so their services
were of little valuo.
Many volunteor firemen from Dohbs Ferry
and Hastings hurried to Yonkers In time to
throw-beds and bedding out of the windows of
tenement houfes in tho neighborhood of tho fire,
hourcs which nt no timo wero In danger.
Tho fire spread, however, to tho Belknap row
of toncinentK. which are occupied chiefly by ne
groes, nnd many of tho tenants fled Into the
streets, currj ing tholr household furniture with
tin m.
Tho end house and tbe row facing on Pali
Rado nvonuo and adjoining one of tho burning
hat factorlos was partly destroyed, and two of
tbo tenant. Matthew Galliner and Mrs. Uattio
Shavlou. lost all of their furniture.
Tbe buildings on two square blocks running
from Elm street back to Ann and James streets
wore destro) ed. It was midnight when tbe rire
meuhadthe tire under control. Thoy decided
to keep at jiprk'kil night to prevent the sprond
of tho flames to Alexander Smith's Son a big
carpet factory, a few hundred feet away.
when tho lire was discovered in tho hat fac
tory, tbesuperlntendent of Smith's works dis
missed tho 2,000 employees of the carpet fac
tory nnd put many of them nt work wetting
down tho root of the Smith building.
The loeses so far us could bo learned last night
were as follows: William M. Reel & Co., dam
apo to stock and machinery. $00,000 in main
building; Skinner & Oo. domngo to stock of
silk, P50.0OO; Poss Brothers, full stock
of hats and cloth. P40.000; John Row
land, damogoin main building to stock, SiO.OOO;
11 SklnncrJc Co.. $4,500; Rowland's hat box
end storage building, ?3 600: Empire flagging
shods, 83,000; Pecne 8 City Laundry. 82,000 to
building. Tho estimated loss on buildings was
82H3,0O0and on stock 5213.000, which Is sup
posed to be fully covored by Insurance.
Two ncrsons were reported as missing, and
the polico bi-lleved that both had perished in
the flames. One Is a young woman employed in
Reed's hat fivctorv and the other is tho factory
watchman, Jacob Strauss.
Just before tho factory wall fell Strauss was
seen at a window on tho top floor trying to
grope his way to tbo flre-cscuin balcony. Near
Llni was young woman. Tho police believe
that both were caught by the fulling wall and
dashed to death.

A furious storm from thonorthrnstbrokoovcr HsbobbI

night and played havoc with tho many yachts iiismaB
anchored in that harbor. All had to got tholr MH
extra anchors out to keep them from bolng i'MSanH

Passaic, N. J. Tho Williams brothors havo been MIissbH

) car-old baby, Edmund Sinclair Williams, and nlaamal
Mrs. Williams, Sr mother of tho brothers, jj! H
a cook and a young man, friend of tho yacht '!iSnnnnl
owners. Two anchors wero out. Ono of these iirliinanl
was a very heavy anchor, attach) d to a two-Inch itllannfl
chain. Tbo sea was so rough thnt this chain ';MI
parted, nnd, the small anchor being Insufficient 'AHmaasi
to hold tho schooner, she drifted toward a reef. Tiumani

Tho rowboat was being tossed about like a I 'Jfll

thought his mother and wlfo would be safer In 9iH
It than in tho big schooner, and bo helped them iaaSsmai
into the boat. Just as his mother and his baby -SPEIannnl
gotln tho small boat the schooner's storn was flltannl
swept up on tho rocks, and her bow swung "jsansmai
around beforo tho sailors could get their boat JilTtil
out of tho way. It struck the small boat, cap- '.'sijsmal
suing It, and the shock knocked the baby out of fttlanni
Mrs. Williams's arms. Mflll
Both Bailors swam toward the child, whllo Mr. fffi-lnnB
A. E. Williams plunged overboard and arnbbed fwlB
his mother. It was dark ns pitch, but Mr. Wil- I5Vi!B
Hams saw tho lights twinkling on shore, and as (MlH
it seemed to bo near, ho started to swim there afftlnfl
with his mother. Mr. E. A. Williams threw a fe 4B

hard swim to the shoro that Mr. Williams had, r-tB
burdened as he was with bis mother; but ho 'iSyilsBnl
landed her on tho bench at Davenport's Neck. Vlflltnl
The bouse of Mr. William E. Isolln is near the flUll
point whero they landed, nnd Mr. Iselln was manni
out on tho shore to see what damage the storm fannsBni
had done. Ho, with his two sons, carried Mrs. 4aaLmasi
Williams into their house, while Mr. Williams tmlH
followed them. Mrs. Williams was immediately JiaWial
