A ment dlcanlreus shipwreck occurreil at

Island life saving station, Intitleeu miles
south of Cai Henry, V. Net less than
twenly lives were lest, among them Uve life
saving moil, who In the discharge of their
duly, were drewnnl. The morning was bit
terly cold and a blinding snow storm pre
vailed, with til" wind blowing a gale from the
northeast. Dining a lull Iu thu storm the
life saving patrol from Little Island life sav
ing station sighted a large ship stranded en
her about fW yards Ireui the shore. When
tie siw tlie vessel he was en his way te meet
the patrol from Ilamo Neck station and ex
change checks showing that both patrolmen
had been fi the end of their beat. 'Iho Dam
Neck patiel was only a few yards distant
when the rosse! wn sighted, and both tired
rockets te notify the crnwer theatranded ship
thnt shn had buen sen. They hurrled back
te their tospecttvo stations nnd gave the
alarm.
In a llttle while Iki'Ii crews, with lifeboat
nnd apparatus, were abreast of the wreck,
nnd the boom of a mortar announced that a
line had been shot out t tlie HI fated vtsiel.
The shot was unsuccesful, nud a second was
llretl with like risiilL Alter tiring six un
successful stmts, the life saving men deter
mined te tirnve the futleus cea and llie death
which semiiid certain hi awall their venture.
The word efiHiminand being given by CapL
Delnnra, of life saving station Ne, I, known
as Llttle Inlsnd, six et the most expert
tieatmeu tnauiiid each beat. At his
command the men gave way with
a will, nnd lu n moment both
beats were breasting the furious waves.
They reached the ship in salety, and flve of
me snip a crew woreiaxou ma nioueai and
ten In n ship's Isiata, which was launched for
the purpese. The bouts were headed for the
shore and net a word was spoken, for each
man reilUfd the awlul peril which sur
rounded them. With a steady pull the two
neats wero making geed ueauway for snore
when a wave el great ower struck both
beats, capsizing them Instantly and pitching
their twenty-two occupant, Inte the boiling
sea.
Theu began a despsraU) struggle for Hie,
and with many of the men It was a prolonged
ene. The herrtlliid life savers en the beach
wero powerless te assist their drowning com
rade or the unfortunate strangers. The
drowning men were carried southward by
the sons, and seme or them were washed
ashore. As they came within reach they
were picked up, and endeavors were made
te revive them and In two Instances with
success, although ene or the two Is badly In
jured. The v onset in llie Herman ship Ellztbeth,

The strlke among the New Jersey coal

there is ns yet lie absolute coil famine the
stocks of retailers are growing less day by

dread te the day when they wilt have te
suspend business at leas! temporarily. These
are, of course, only small dealers who have
been expecting the usual drop lu the prices
Qxed by the big "cemblne,"aud, fearing te be
caught with coat that they could net sell at a
profit, refrained from laying lu a stock. The
anticipated drop did net come aud new they
find themsulvts compelled te restrict their
sales in many cases te regular customers.
When the strlke begau the coal companies
took matters very uoel, and declared that If
the men did nut want te work they could
easily Hud ethers te take their places. Se
far as can be acertalned the strikers show no
signs or ylelding, and yet, In spiteef their as
sertions that their business would go en in
spite of thorn, the companies are furnishing

Nkw Yeuk, Jan. 10. Judge llarretthss
denied the motion made by Jnke Sharp's
counsel for a change of venue, and he will
therefore be tried In this county en the
charges of bribery found against him by the
grand Jury In connection with the Hroad Hread
way railroad steal.
Judge Barrett, In rendering his decision,
says: 'Tundefendnnr, In thebrlofefcounsol,
presses only the point as le the alleged preju
dice growing out el newspaper publication.
Ue thus abandons all claim of a?rsenal ill
will because el his connection with ether
railroad enterprise. Upen the argument
counsel withdrew the claim of hostility
growing out of the strikes of railroad
ompleyof. Tbe question Is thus reduced
te this : Is the court satisfied that the
defendant cannot have a fair and Impartial
trial lu this county iu censequence of news
paper criticism ? Thore Is no satisfactory
ovldcnce te substantiate the dofendant's be

enter the court room upon his trial with as
perfect freedom from npprehonded violence
hs tbojudgeand tlie Jury."
TheJiidgeln his decision gees onto say:
" It is much eailcr te Influence prejudicially
te an accused the sentiment of a small com
munity than thnt of a great cosmopolitan
metropolis, The press of a great city teems
with matter mere or less overlooked by large
classes of readers which would set a village

throws upon the defendant the burden of
clearly establishing by facts and circum

which would doprlve him of a fair and Im
partial trial Is mero exactlng In large com cem
niunlea than in small, and that where tbe de.
fondant relies solely upon newspaper denun

that this denunciation has had some etTect by

A woll-attendod meeting el the wholesalo

of the Tobacco Beard of Tradn of Baltimore,
en Seuth Gay street, te take action upon the
question of petitioning Congress for the re
pent of the Internal rovenuo tar upon
tobacco preductD, Mr. G. W. Gall was
chosen chairman, and Mr. Itobert Stewart
secretary.
Mr. Win. Boyd ellered a sorles of resolu
tion, a fellows :
"lleselvett, That a committee of flve be
appointed te endeavor te secure the required
legislation toward the abolition et the system
of Internal rovenuo he rar as It rolates te te
baece, cigars, suull and cigarette, mid te bave
power te take such ether notion with regard
thereto as In their J udgmeut shall be expe
dient '
"2. That tlie committee appointed shall nt
such tlme as they shall deem advisable go te
Washington and endeavor te secure such
legislation.
"3. That the co operation or tlie villous to
bacco trade and workers organizations aud
unions in this city and state be requested te
further this object se far ns tbe same shall be
possible.
"I. That petitions embodying the senre et
the meeting be circulated and nlgned uud for
warded te Congress.
The resolutions were dfscue'ed nt length,
and wero adopted with only two or three
negatives. Tliose who spoke for their adop
tion were Messrs. Geergo It. Coflreth, Wm.
II. Myers, B. F. Parlett, Bebert Steart,
Michael Dunden, Jonas Itenenreld, L. H.
Neudeeker, Geerge E. Wagner, C. O. Isaacs,
L T. Cruse, G. W. Gall, Edgewerth Bird,
Wm. Lamping, Themas Cremer und ethors.
Theso who spoke en the ether slde wero
Messrs. W. A. Marburg, J. B. Stailerd and
Jacob Wight,
The arguments ter the repeal or the tobacco
taxes were that the Internal roveuue stamps
and labels are a restriction upon the trade,
which Is hampered by thbse requirements.
The removal of the tax will rollevo tobacco
from this surveillance, and its entire aboil abeil aboil
Hen Is asked for, aud net merely a reduction.
Tobacco has for twenty years paid from
thirty te twenty-four millions of dollars
n year In taxes, The government
doe net need this taxation, and its re
moval Is asked for. The tax system enables
large concerns te monopolize the business.
The minority slde or the argument was that
the Internal revenue tax or eight cents a
luuuu en uinnuiaciureu. louacce and 3 par
thousand en cigars Is net onerous te tlnmi.
and that the Internal roveuuo system is net
disadvantageous.
The committee appointed te visit Wash

Isaacs, L. II. Neudecker, Ellas T. Cruse and
Bebert Stew art.
On motion et Mr. Gall, the committee was
