Lewis, Del.. Oct. 11. The schooner
Luther A. Koby, from Schiverie, N. S..
consigned to Philadelphia, with plaster,
came ashore at daybreak this morning
in a heavy northeast gale below the
point of Cape Henclopen and almost
Immediately went to pieces. Three of
the crew were lost and Ave saved.
Since yesterday a fierce northeast
gale has been blowing along the coast.
The life saving crews have been on the
alert and all last night patrolled the
beach on the lookout for vessels in eiiu
tress. In the early dawn the Schooner
was seen driving towards the bench.
The lile savers hastened toward;! Ihe
spot she was heding for. but rw
struck before they came opposite to
her. Before the crew could get their
apparatus Into working order, the
vessel pounded to pieces In the heavy
surf. The men aboard of her clung to
whatever pieces of wreckage they
could grasp, and struggled through tin
whirling waters to the beach. Three of
thein never reached it, but the other
live, bruised and battered by the waves,
ilrann ashore by the life savers.
The wind blew a gale and every vessel ,
in the harbor sought refuge behind the j
breakwater. Not a pilot boat ventured ;
to sea. The bark Alice, which was ,
anchored a mile west 01 me ure
water, began to drag her anchor, but
two tugs went to her assistance and
towed her to a safe anchorage in the
harbor.
The wind Is blowing a fearful gale
from the northeast tonight and the tide
is piling upon the shore. It is feared that
at high water tonight the life saving
stations on the shore may be swept
away.

AS TO FILING NOMINATION PAPERS
Claim Thut Certificates of ('audi
dates for Ihe Home of Representa
tives Should lie Filed with County
ConiniiioncrftA Point of Law
That May Cause Chaos lu Political
Circle.
Pittsburg. Oct. 11. E. J. Brennen, of
this city, forwarded a letter last night
to Chairman John M. Oarman, of the
Democratic state committee, in regard
to the construction of the act of June
111, ISM. relative to the filing of nomi
nation papers. Mr. Brennen contends
that the certificates of candidates for
the tate house of representatives
should be filed with the county commis
sioners instead of the secretary of the
commonwealth, the former provisions
of the act of ISM having been repealed
by the act of 189X If Mr. Hronnen Is
correct it is claimed every nomination
m&de for the legislature this year by
boih parties Is Invalid and as' it Is too
late to file certificates with the coun
ty commissioners, nomination papers
would have to be resorted to. A nice
point 01 taw is involved In the ques
tlon, and it Is stated that Mr. Brennen '
will tile a bill In court, which will neces
sitate a decision.
II is also stated that Mr. Brennen is
so sure of his premises that he has
caused nomination papers to be circu
lated In his own district and will on
or before Tuesday next present the
pa tiers to the county commissioners for
tiling and In case they refuse to do so,
will bring the matter before the courts
on u writ of mandamus.

BURNED MOTTO" BUTTONS.
Father Ludcke Collected About One
Thousadd from Parochial' School
Children and Had a Bonfire.
New York, Oct. II. A lively crusade.
has been instituted by the Rev. Francis
Ludeke, assistant pastor of St. Vin
cent de Pnul's church, in North Sixth
street, Williamsburg, against the
wearing of motto buttons by the pu
pils of the parochial school attached
to that church. He began on Friday
morning by visiting the school, col
lecting anout
thousand buttons fruin
he scholars and then burning them In
a big bonfire which he lighted for the
purpose in the back yard of the school.
Father Ludeke has a reputation as
a fighter in the Eastern District, and
has carried several crusades to a suc
cessful end. The practice of the boys
and girls in his school of wearing from
one to ten buttons, with varying kinds
of inscriptions on them, was noticed
by him a few days ago during a visit
to the school. The motto "Lend Me
your Wife," which he found pinned to
the coat of a seven-vear-old '-hoc.
! brought matters to n crisis.
The priest went to the Academy
building on Friday morning and called
the teachers together. Then the chil
dren were assembled In the large class
room, made by opening some folding
doors. The teachers separated and took
up their stutions In various parts of the
room. After placing a large basket on
the platform he turned to the children
nnd said that all who wore motto but
tons on their persons must come for
ward and put them In the basket.
This announcement created a sensa
tion, and the eyes of the children tilled
vlth tears. Many of them began to
secrete their treasures, but seemed
moved by the appeal that the priest
made. He Is very popular with the chil
dren. When the buttons were all put
In the basket they numbered about one
thousand. Campaign buttons were re
turned to the owners. At the noon re
cess the children were all taken to the
back yard, where a big tire hud been
built, und they watched the destruction
that followed.
In speaking of the matter yesterday
Father Ludeke said: "These buttons
have played havoc among the children.
They neglected their lessons and some
seemed to have tline for nothing but a
comparison of their collections. The
principal objection, however, was on
account of the Immoral Inscriptions
that I saw upon some of them. The
nature of some of them was such thut
the law ought to be Invoked to stop
their manufacture. They are danger
ous to the children and could work the
greatest harm. I did not take all the
buttons, making the exception in cases
of campaign badges. To have taken
them would be to destroy their ideas of
patriotism. All these I returned to
them and these they will be permitted to
wear.

THE U. S. LEGATION NOT GUARDED
Constantinople Jails Are Crowded.
Procedures Against Armenians Are
Said to Be Lacking in Klenieut of
JusticeThe American War Ships
How on the Way to Smyrna.
Constantinople. Oct. 11. Minister
Terrell denies that he has made any
request ot the Porte In behalf of his
Government for the admittance of the
Cnlted States gunboat Bancroft
through the Dardanelles, but he ex
presses holies that arrangements were
made for her admittance before the
Bancroft started from America for
Turkish waters.
Mr. Terrell Is the only diplomatist
who has left the protection of Thera
pia. He Is living in Pera, and the
American Legation is the only one that
is not guarded. Mr. Terrell has pointed
out the houses of Americans which re
quire special guards, but has declared
to the Turkish police that it is their
duty to guard the legation without a re
quest. The jails are so crcrtvded with Armen
ian prisoners that it seems impossible
for them to hold any more. The special
tribunal organlied for the purpose of
trying the Armenians Is wholly inade
quate to dispose of the cases, and a
second court will be organized to ex
pidite matters.
Washington. Oct. 11. The cruiser
Murblehead left Mersina, Syria, this
morning for Smyrna, making the fourth
ship of the European squadron now on
the way to that port to Join the flag
ship Minneapolis, which arrived there
last Wednesday, the San Francisco
having left Genoa for Symrna on
Thursday and the Cincinnati and Ban
croft having been, steaming for the
same destination from Gibraltar since
Tuesday last. By the middle of next
week Admiral Selfrldge will have his
entire fleet directly under his eye, and
It will then, perhaps, be possible to
learn what b,is instructions are.
It is asserted at the navy department
that the men whose times have expired
will be transferred from the other
ships to the Marblehead, which will
then come home, unless some emergen
cy requires her continuance in Turkish
waters. Naval officers continue confi
dent that an arrangement will be
reached enabling the Bancroft to go to
Constantinople, as contemplated by
Minister Terrell, and In their opinion
the little ship will proceed to her des
tination without much delay.
EUROPEAN PRESTIGE DWINDLES.
London, Oct. 11. The Standard will
tomorrow publish a despatch from Con
stantinople slating that there has been
a steady downward condition of affairs
miring tne past tnree weeks. European
prestige dally dwindles at the spectacle
of diplomats without instructions and
without the heart or courage to intimi
date any steps for themselves. The
better Informed Moslems are anxiously
awaiting foreign intervention, especial
ly t.y (ireut Britain.
The Porte continues its policy of ex
terminating the Armenians and devas
tating the country occupied by them.
The arrests are as numerous as ever.
The special tribunal continues to con
demn innocent persons to long termsjf
imprisonment ut nam labor, and large
sums of money are extorted from the
richest Armenians.
