Eoth Eoats Overdue, and the Sailing Tort

FOUXD ON ONE HALF OF THE WEECK
rSPECIlL TELEGRAM TO THE DIBPATCn.J
Xew York, June 26. The identity of
the vessel cut in two on or just before
Thursday last by the iron prow of a swift
running steamship, about 260 miles east of
Sandv Hook, has been pretty well estab
lished. It is believed that she was the
JCova Scotian ship Fred B. Taylor, ivhich
left Havre in ballast for this port 43 days
ago.
She was spoken on June 12, about 9G0
miles east of Xew York, by the "White
Star steamship JIajestic, bound west. On
Thursday last, her after-half, floating bot
tom up, was passed by the Dutch tank
steamer Ocean, which arrived on Saturday
from Amsterdam. The forward half was
passed on "Wednesday last bv the steamship
Stuart Prince, which arrived on Friday
irom Mediterranean ports.
The Ocean passed the after-half in lati
tude 42 22', longitude 68 10', and the
Stuart Prince passed the forward half in
latitude 40 21', longitude 68 20'. They
were thus onlv a few miles apart The cap
tain of the Stuart Prince says that the
shaven part of the wreck he saw was under
water. The jibs and all head sail were set,
and most of the foremast was out of the
water.
A Jllnnte Drsoriptlon of the "Wreck.
To a Nova Scotian skipper interested in
the Fred B. Taylor, Captain Voge, of the
Ocean, gave to-day a minute description of
the wreck. It was apparently that of a
vessel in ballast, otherwise it probably
would not have been afloat That the
vessel was a ship was evident from her
xnizzen channel"!, which were very lone.
Her stern was large and round, like that of
the Fred B. Taylor, and she was painted
black. That part of her counter on which
her name was lettered was under water, but
her hailing port, "Yarmouth, N. S.," was
visible.
All this answers to the description of the
Taylor. She had been struck on the port
Eiae, and the cut was as clean as if it had
been made by a gigantic ax. It looked as if
it was only a few hours old. The fate of
the Taylor's skipper, Captain E. F. Hnrl
bert, and his 22 men, must be a matter of
conjecture until the steamship that ran the
ship downis heard from, unless she too was
wrecked by the collision.
There is a chance that some of the Tay
lor's crew may have clnng to the after-half
of her and may have been rescued.
Description of the MUtiInc Vessel.
The Taylor was a sturdv double-decker,
of 1.798 tons, and was built at Tnsket, N.
S., in 1883. She was 237 feet long, 42 feet
beam, and 24 feet deep, and was constructed
of hard and soft wood. She was overhauled
and repaired last year, and was in first-class
shape. She was owned by "William Law &
Co., of Yarmouth.
Captain Hurlbert, who Is, or was 28 years
old, was accompanied by his young bride
on the ship's last voyage to Havre. She
left him there and came to Brooklyn. On
"Wednesday Mrs. Hulbert became a mother.
The ship was chartered by PaulGerhardt,
of the Brazil Mail Line, and was coming
nere io loaa ior jsuenos Ayres. xne late
of the ship naturally started the nautical
sharps guessing what steamship it was that
had run her down. The fact that the Por
tuguese steamship Vega is five days over
due at this port, from Lisbon, whence she
sailed June 5, caused the linking of her
name with that of the luckless Nova
Scotian.
The Vega's agents, G.'Amsinck & Co.,
are somewhat uneasy about her. One of
their representatives called at the Barge
Office to-day and said she had been confi
dently expected on "Wednesday last. He
had a tug re?dy to-day to go down and meet
her, under the impression that she might be
reported disabled.
Fir Hnndrod Llm In Donbt.
"When the Vega left Lisbon she had 316
steerage passengers aboard. She called at
the Azores and got probably 100 more. Her
usual time between this port and Lisbon,
including five days at the Azores, is from 15
to 16 days. She is now 22 days ont She is
an iron vessel of 1,143 tons and was built at
Newcastle by A. Leslie & Co., in 187D.
If she or any other westbound steam
ship ran down the Fred. B. Tay
lor, the Nova Scotian must have
been standing to the south on the starboard
tack, otherwise she probably would not
have been struck on the port side. A blow
on the same side might have been inflicted
by a steamship bound east, if the Taylor
was standing to the north on the port tack.
If the steamship was bound this way, and
was not damaged, or sunk in the collision,
she ought to have been heard of before to
day. Three steamships, La Gascogne from
Havre, the Brittania from Gibraltar, and
the Fulda from Genoa, arrived to-day and
saw nothing of the Vega, and nothing of
the drifting halves of the Nova Scotian.
Some of the experts were inclined to doubt
that the Vega had the speed "to make
such a clean cut through the Tayl6r.
They said it was more likely that
the ship had been hit by one of the twin
screw racers, but there was none of them
there The nearest was theMajestic, which
on her last west-bound trip spoke to the
Taylor and brought news to the Captain's
wile that his ship was nearing New York.
The Majestic did not leave this port, on her
return, until Wednesday afternoon, the
day the wreck was first seen.
AFIEE THE ALLIANCE VOTE.
A Georgia Democratic Platform Maker
Analyze tlie Chicago Affair.
Atlanta, Ga., June 26. L. F. Garrard,
the Georgia member of the Platform Com
mittee at Chicago, says: "I insisted that
for 25 years the Southern States had ap
peared in the National Deniocratic'Conven
tion and were told what was necessary to be
done to carry New York and Indiana for
the Democrats, but that the time had now
come when they nere brought face to face
with the problem of retaining the solid
South in the Democratic ranks and that the
views of the South must be respected. By
a careful readins of the platform adopted it
will be een that almost every material idea
in the Gcorz-a platform is covered by the
national platform."
Summarizing, lie declares that the ar
raignment of the force bill is the most
prominent plauk; that the tariff plank is
all that could be asked for. the amendment
adopted being a mere change of phrase-
syndicates is complete, the section being
written by him. The silver plank he holds
to be lor absolute free silver, its declare-
ver, and the fact that gold is already free
giving the same character to the demand
for kindred metals, which is to put it on a
parity with it in all respects. The platform
.nakes silver free as gold. The platform.
he argues, should receive the support of
A FREE SILVER HAVEN.
The People's Tarty Expects to Gather In
the Malcontents Who Bolted the Minne
apolis and Chicago Conventions Chair
man Taubeneck Expresses His Opinions.
St. Louis, June 2a H. E. Taubeneck,
Chairman of the People's Party National
Executive Committee, was seen to-day at
the committee's headquarters in this city
and questioned regarding the party's
prospects. Said he:
"You can rest assured that our National
Convention will be a big concern. It will
be a deliberative body, not influenced by
Federal officeholders or those who expect
Federal offices."
Begarding the platforms adopted at Min
neapolis and Chicago, Mr. Taubeneck said
that so far as he could see they were, except
in the tariff planks, identical. As to the
attitude the silver-producing States would
probably take durins; the coming campaign
Mr. Taubeneck stated:
From the con espopdence I am receiving,
especially from Colorado, tliev sny that
no.ther Harrison nor Cleveland ctm poll
over 5 per cent or their respective party
votes. Tills holds true in every other min
ing State. Colorado ha 10,000 votes enrolled
in lier silver clubs. Every one is pledjrea to
vote for no man nor cany unless tliev favor
tree and unlimited coinage of iilver, and my
opinion is that these people mean lust ex
actly whit they sav.
The Democratic "delegates from Colorado
at the Chicago Convention liavo called a con
vention or Democrats for Colorado. I think
they will declare both the nominee and plat
form at Clilcaao as undemocratic, lepuUlate
it , and elect delegates to confer with the
People's Tarty at Omaha. They will also
call on every other silver State to do the
same, and I think it will be done. Tho Ex
ecutive Committee ortlio Bimetallic Lenirue
is in session, and from information I have
they will declare both the old parties as
enemies to bimetallism, and itsuo a call to
the tree silver clubs and the Uimetallic
League to send delo.ates to Omaha and con
fer n it li the People's Party. With the proper
nominations and with a (rood canvass we
will sweep the South and West everything
south of the Ohio and west of the Mississippi
livers.

Denizens of Sevrral Suburbs Fleeing for

ing Worse Improvised Raffs in De
mand. Chicago, June 26. Five square miles of
territory adjacent to Dauphin, a suburb of
this city, are buried beneath a flood to
night, and 1,000 or more houses between
State street and Lake Michigan are at the
mercy of the waves, which- strong east
wind has forced through the basement and
first floors.
The great body of water which has been
collecting in the region, has broken all
barriers, and this afternoon burst the last
obstruction at Eighty-seventh street, raft
ing down with terrific force upon Grand
Crossing, whose citizens were panic-stricken
bv the sieht of a sea of risinc water in
vading every home, driving householders
either from their dwellings or to the second
stories. At present there is not less than two
feet of water in the streets. Every base
ment is flooded and the foundations of
many buildings are weakened-
The immediate cause of the flood is the
breaking of the Eighty-seventh street bank,
due to an accummulatlon of water during the
recent storm. Grand Crossing at midnight
was in despair. At Fordham and Dauphin
Park the suffering was only less in degree,
as there were fewer to suffer and a less num
ber to experience the terror of a possible
death before morning in waters which were
rising at the rate of one inch ah hour.
Every effort is being made by those over
taken by the flood to escape with their
families. It is only by means of improvised
rafts that movement irom one point to an
other is possible. Up to the present no
Iosb of life is reported, but rescuing parties
have started to help those whose perilous
condition give rise to a fear for their safety.

The officials of the local ball club are in
strong hopes that the team have now gotten
fairly down to work for the balance of the
vear. Yesterday afternoon Treasurer Brown
said:
"Our team will face the 8t. Louis Browns
to-morrow, and the form displayed recently
by our players has been snoh that I expect
them to win. It seems as if our pitchers
are now all in good form, and if they keep
all right I think we have just as good a
team as there is in the country. Just think
where we would have been had Terry and
Ehret been with us in cood form for the
past few weeks. "We would have had seven
or eight more carries won and so many less
lost to our credit, and that would have put
us high up in the race."
Mr. Temple was also in a good humor
yesterday because of the form displayed by
the local team last week, and he expects
that the plavers will now keep on winning
more games than they lose. They have won
four ont of the last five played, which is a
splendid showincr.
Baldwin will likely pftch to-dav, and he
will nrobablvbe onnosed bv Breitenstein,.
the left-hander. Our slngzers polished
"Breit" oS to the queen's 'taste when he
was here, but he is pitching very effectively
now. It iB generally understood that the
Pittsburg sluggers are easv marks for left
handed twirlers, but it will not be a sur
prise if the St Louis South-paw gets a
thumping by them if he faces them.
The team have four games to plav away
from home this week, and they will finish
the first championship before leaving again.
The wind-up of the first half will be with
the Bostons, and that ought to make mat
ters extremely exciting. If the Philadel
phia team keep on winning during their
"Western trip, the Boston series here may
be one of the most exciting of the season.
The struggle for positions ranging from
fourth to eighth or ninth places is sure to
be a great one, and as the New York and
Washington teams finish away from home,
that ought to give the Ptttsburgs a good ad
vantage in the struggle.
So far this season there has been one fact
fully demonstrated, viz., that such cities as
Louisville are jot profitable enough for the
League. Manager Buckenberger states that
it does not pay a team to go there. This
feature is likely to be seriously considered
by the magnates before the year is ended.

He Hasn't Had His Own Way With the
New York Ball Team.
XKw'tYoitK, June 26. Special The po
sition of Manager l'nt Towers in connection
with the New, York League Baseball Club is
particularly trying at this moment. Had
be been allow ed to carry out his own ideas
early in the season, tUero is every reason to
believe that the local team would occupy a
much better position than it Is mow enjoy
ing. However, he did not have his own way,
but he now comes out with nn announce
ment stating that complete managerial
powers have been conferred upon him at
this stage of the game, and. he will endeavor
to reconstruct the team. He assumes a
' large responsibility at a,very late day, and
in ins worK nas tne well wisues or every
one. Shonld he be successful in this second
series of games Sir Patrick will rival Adrian
Anson oi Chicago, who enjoys the dis
tinction of bein tho best manager of a
baseball club in the country.
Captain Johnnio Ward, of the Brooklvn
Baseball Club, will win considerable money
on the result or tho first baseball series. He
made a number of wafers with Now Yorkers
before the season opened, betting that the
Iirnoklyns would heat the Giants in per
centages. So lar the race is all in Brook
lyn's fnvor, and Ward will soon have tho
pleasure of rakinsr in a pocketful of shekels
and a small package of Now York club's
common stock.

AN EXPLANATION AND AN APOLOGY.
On June 13 we advertised a special sale of Baby Carriages.
Although our stock was exceptionally large at that time, yet so
numerous were our sales that within a week our assortment wa3
broken, and we were completely sold out of some of the lines
advertised. Hundreds of would-be purchasers went away dis
appointed, as much to our regret as to their own. But; "it is
an 111 wind that blows no good." and the fact that our own
stock was almost entirely sold out enabled us to go into the
market ready to buy large lots; and as the season is about over
for the manufacturers we were able to practically dictate prices.
Consequently we offer inducements this week even surpassing
the sale of June 13.
