Alfred Petter, ene et the aurlers el the
calamity, shortly after he arrhed in the city
en the train that brought tliu bedlea, gae
the following narratUe :
" We wero at supper when tlie clouds in
dicated the storm. Tliroe-iuartorsof an hour
later, or about Osii o'clock, the tornado struck
us nnd cail7ed tlie vessel. 1'ntil alnmt half u
acceud befere It tame tliere had lieen an
almost p'rfect calm. Seen or eight minutes
before the che1 caiUcd the captain hail
erderetl us nil below, mid tlie ladies Immedi
ately elxiyetl. The mainHall and jib were up
when the squall struck us broatlHlde. At
that moment Mr. Jerdan, Mr. Heckley, Mr.
Clark and myself wero below. In K('IK
down 1 saw the captain leae the wheel te
hurry lerward, and, bolleWng that he needed
help, I rushed en deck. As the teasel Jusi
then went oer 1 could net reach him. 1
pulled Mr. Jordeu out olthecoiiipanlon-way,
as the water was rushing in. The wind se
tilled the Jib that we could net haul It down.
It we had had another lnlnute te work at It
we might hae cut it loose and saved oery eery oery
bedy. "Thorehao been iii(iilrles as te why no
assistance could be Riven te the six ladies
aud Mr. Clark when the ensel went ever en
herslde, The beat was built with what are
called ' sharp line,' aud was tery bread
amitlahips. Tlie only escape from the cabin
was by the unupanlen-way. The windows
wero very small and had Iren bars en thorn.
When the vessel was en lier beam ends. nnd
the survivors were clinging te the hull mid
the rigging, the companion way was nbeut
four ami a half or lle leet under water, nnd
Us sliding cover had been clesed te protect
the ladies from tlie rain.
"I took oil' nnd threw away my shoes, and
ellered te dlve and try te open the slide, but
the captain said it would be a rash act, nnd I
would bosure te leso my tile. He said he
would lash me fast if 1 attempted it, aud
that befere I could raue myself te prepare te
uive i weuia ue mown iniriy leei or mero.
Anether ebstacle te giving assistauce was
the oxtremo darkness accompanying the
storm.
"Of ceurse we cannot tell whether Mr.
Clark or any of the ethers in the cabin at
tempted te open the slide or net. When the
waterwas aboe the companion-way In the
cabin the seven jiorcens wero probably up
among the berths, holding en as best they
could, te keep their heads in the air space.
Woceuld hear their voices and their pound
tugs en the vessel with their hands or feet.
It was Biiggobted at first that an axe might
be get fr'u the pilot beat and a hole cut
through tH5ie air space, but seen It was de
cided that this must net be done, as It would
remove the last vestige of hepe of saving Ilia.
The vessel waalleating, and the moment an
axe had made a small hole, the air that was
sua primerwug some of tliu llei weuitl es
cape The only hojie was te have tlie yacht
towed te shallow water, where it would net
sink If u hele was cut
"We clung te the vessel for two or two and
a half hours, and refused te leae It until we
saw the seams opening and the water Ireui
the IiiBlde coming out. Then all hepe orsav ersav
lug theso Inslde was gene. We were shiver

were bruised by the hall that fell during a

Describing the cauistroptie Mr. llullilcy
saltl :
"Handy lliKik was sluhlett about 0 o'clock,
and the wind suddenly died out, mid the
sails Mapped lazily from the masts. We went
eating our supper In the ferehatch when sud

It seen devolepod Inte a heavy shower, ami

cried out te haul down the Jlh mid, making

his actions, nil the ineii went en deck except
Chester Clark, who remained below te ipilet

tlie deck the sminll struck tie, ami ever went
Iho vessel en her beam ends. Tlie force of
the wind was such that we were compelled
te hang en with nil our strength te keep from

sons which began te break ever tliu vessel.
"The wind was blowing n hurricane, no
miles mi hour, as wonUernards learned, and
hailstones ns lnrge as hens' eggs Ix'gun te
fall, compelling ustolildueur heads under
the mil, at the smne tliue standing en the
sltle of the cabin In water waist deep. There
came n lull alter ten minutes, and we heard
thn ladles crying for help mid knocking en
the top or the cabin. We tried te get Inte the
cabin and get thum out, but woie iiuable le

heavier than the first struck ns, and It s em

hailstones, which cut our faces and bruited
our heads.
" Pilet Ixiat Ne. a new enme in sight, but
her sails having blown away in the squall
she was unable te run down te our n-tlst-alien.
They rout a Ixiat, hew ever, ami we
get them te go alter the tug l.eorge W. l'ride
te come and tow us Inte shalhm water. The

vessel the attempted te tow us te the beach,
but the title was se strong that the line came
ntlrilt. Tiietugs Hnvllmid and Cramp took
us all eir the schooner that our weight might
net sink the vessel mi low. A line was get
ever the hind of the visscl'a foremast te
keep her from drilling out le him bulore the
strong ebb tide.
"Towards morning the title turned ami

When the platform of the coming Democra
tic state convention shall have buouuiade, the
the next consideration will lie the proper
candidate for govorner te place upon It.
Though party platforms have deservedly
been brought Inte contempt for thelr Insin Insin
eerlty and frequent trilling with great public
questions, they belong te thopelltcal machin
ery nud cannot be readily ills'ieuee with.
Whlle a bail platform may be mended by a
candidate whose sound record would make
up Ter errors in its construction, the beat plat
form that could be dev ised would be or 110
use with a bail candidate. It may be pro pre
mised that the next Democratic cenv entleu of
lVnnsylvaula will declare against the abuses
and oppressions of theaxlstlngtarlll sjstein ;
In favor et enfertlng the previsions of the
constitution prenibltlngunj 11st discrimination
in freights aiidollierwrengscommlttod bythe
carrjliig corporations, and in favor et tlie
regulation and restraint of the mi-clilelsef the
liquor trallle b3- 11 hlgh-llconse law. The
next thing will be le nominate it candidate
rer govorner who can stand erect en this plat
form. The question of tarill revUieu, it Is true,
has untiling tode with the election of a gover
nor, but it cannot be kept out of the discus
sion of this campaign. 11 the Democrats et
Helms lvanla wero nover se much disposed
te ignore the tariir issue the Republicans
would net i-ermlt thorn te de se. In fact, the
itepublicau managers are com polled te make
this the sole Issue or the campaign because
of thelr lamentable failure le meet anj of the
questions of statu policy which are Invelved
In the contest. An unequivocal declaration
by the Democratic state convention in favor
of a substantial revision of the tarill would,
of course, biroiitet the list el candidates ler
governor overy Democratic member or Con Cen
gross who veted against consideration of the
ways mid means committee. It should at
the same time exclude lreni nomination any
ether man who tavers the enrichment of
great maiiiiracturiug iiioueolies at the ox ex ox
Ienseof thomassesof American cousutners,
or who la net in known sympathy with the
cilerts or the national Democratic party te
relerm the abuses of the tarill.
Un the question et unjust freight discrlnii discrlnii
intieus it would be tar trem judicious te so se
lect a candidate for govorner who Is con
spicuous for oxtremo and unreasoning hos
tility le railroad corporations. The Demo
cratic part3 does net wage a blind warfare
against corienillon, but seeks only te re
strain lliem within constitutional llmiu, and
thus te prevent their unjust eiicroachmeuts
011 the rights of the people. What should be
demanded 111 it cauilldatelur guvemerlsamau
who may be depended upon te enferce the
constitution without fear or favor. It may be
saltl that n governor of Hennsjlvania has no
power ever this question except In etllcial
messages and In the eorcle of ihoveto.
This is a great deal; and there have been
times when the political inllucnce of a gov
ernor el Pennsylvania was Inr greater than
his etllcial Dener. The nomination of a
candidate for govorner whoe Interests are
complicated with railroad corporations
would make nmocker3' of the platform. It
would be better te make no declaration en
this question than te present te the poeplo a
candidate whose record and position would
give tlie lle te tlie utterance.
Tliere should be the same harmony be
tween the platlurm and thu candidate en the
liquor question, which has become a burn
ing issue in l'ennsylvaula Inconsequence
of tlie abuses nnd confusion In thu adminis
tration of the law untler tlie preseut license
system. Whlle the Democrats favor a Uni
term license system se high In its rates us te
restrain the abuses of the liquor trallle, thelr
op)eslllon te prohibitory legislation puts
them logically in hostility te overy step In
that direction. If laws rer prohibiting the
consumption of wines aud liquors for drink
are a proper oxeroiso of the power et aslate,
thore is no need or agitating ter n prohibitory
amendment. The legislature lias only te pass
the necessary laws whenever public opin
ion is rijKi ler the change. Hut when an
amendment te the constitution is sought for
thu purpose of abiidglng the existing per
seiuil rights of thu citUeu in matters et taste
and of extending the power of the majority
te the control 01 the minority In vvhutthey
shall drink, then resistance te prohibition
should begin at the beginning. If the 111a 111a
ieritv have un rluht te luterlere Willi thu per
senal habits unit customs et a minority, thou
the majority have no right te declde the
question at the ballet-box or in any ether
wav, and the legislature has no right
te submit the question for decision.
The t'rnnuy et the mauy-headed multitude
may become mero aggressive aud oppresslvo
than that el the Blugle dest. When the
majority way prescribe what the rest et their
fellew-cltUeus shall eat or drink there wiH
be 110 bounds te the control which the state
may exercise ever the conduct ami tastes of
the luiliv idual. The minority would become
prisoners ut large In a state In which every
breath et the vital air of personal liberty
would have been extiaustctt. vv 11110 111c
Democrats ut I'ennsylvanlii nre w tiling te re
strain the abuses et the liquor tialllu by 11
well-regulated hlghdlceusu system, they
cannot atlerd te tamper with thu personal
rights aud property et the cltien by encour
aging tliu I'lohibltleulsts in thu nomination
el a rain-water candidate for govorner.

no right te discriminate against ene class et

this gigantic evll le go utichocketl Is te

graied when we romemlxjr that discrimina

under any protext, Is a subversion of the

explored by the I'inkerten force. Parsons,
Mr. Cornish says, was ene or the first te
blossom out as a red het Anarchist. He seen
took Spies into his council. Whlle In Oriel's
saloon ene night Cornish heard Mrs. Parsons
make a violent speech, in which she advoca
ted hurling bouibsnttheresldeiiceofwoalthy
cltleus of Chicago. Spies told them he hail
a better plan which was as fellows :
Let overy man arm himself with a little
syrluge just laige enough te be concealod In
the closed hand. The point of the syrlnge
should be as small and fiue as the point et u
needle, that it can easily penotrate clothing
and skin. The bulb must be filled w lth prusslc
acid. Armed w ltli thlsyeu can w alk alongside
of the porseu te be romevod, quickly Insert
the needle point into his tiesh and at the
same time squeeze the bulb sending the
prusslc acid into his veins. The victim will
net mind tlie attack any mere than he would
the prick of a pin, but the poison would kill
him in a very lew minutes mul his death
would be a horrible one. He would net
knew, aud If he did, cculd net tell what had
been doue te him.
This ingenious scheiue was greetetl with
acclamations of approval and applause by all
who wero present, including Parson, riolder
and Deizy.
