When discovered by two fishermen the
fUrvivor were, lying 'unconscious on the
decomposed corpses of their companions.
The survivors wera revived, and Gilbert
Holmes, who was the strongest, related a
story of awful suffering. Last week the
eleven left Key West on a smack td fish
on the west coast. "When two days out
the smack was wrecked, the men escaping
in a boat withTut food,-water or clotfimg.
Three days after the wreck Frank Mason
died, and soon after . Max Thornton,"Al
fred Stafford, Joe West and Nathan
Adams succumbed. The survivors were
too weak to throw their . dead comrades
into the sea, and the corpses remained, in
the boat. - .'
For the last two days Holmes was the
only one of the living conscious, and he
does not remember all that happened. The
scene at the boat : was horrible. The liv
ing and the dead, without a rag of clothes,
were tumbled together, Thb -corpses

Ihe home of her married lover. Andrew C.

day night. - --. "
Kahe's prqmineno4 from his connection
with the matcir factory, and the girl's
previous good character and excellent repu

and -the girl's companions are grief
stricken, while ;he residents of the'neigh
borhood in which the death took place
are horrified, j ' - -1 . -'
Rahe, after being, released from the po
lice station on tail, packed up a few goods
and left town. It is believed that he has
gone to New York. His wife, who is now
in York, Pa., has been notified of .his dis
grace, but she, refuses to believe it. A
telegram she sent to her friends in this
city says it is all a case of blackmail," and
.that her husband's enemies are - trying to
injure his basiqesi reputation. She char
acterized the dead girl as a party to the
conspiracy. " ." ' : .
Rahe's story vould lend some truth to
his wife's belief were it not for the fact
that he has admitted that he willingly
agreed to the lia-on. ;
Chief of Poliqe Hendry is satisfied that

Mrj Talbert was evidently suffering un
der great excitement while this attack was
being made, and an outbreak was expected,
but he restrained himself with difficulty
and turned the! attack with a pleasant ref
erence to the fact-- that Canada had been
heard from (Mr. Hardy was born in Can
ada).! Later, however, while; he was dis
cussing another bill, he took occasion to
remark that he had noticed those who
had taken no part in the war were loudest
in their proclamations of patriotism and
their; denunciations 'of those who had
fought against the Union. . Mrt Talbert
himself served j in the Con federate army
throughout the war. Mr. Hardy did hot
serve in the Union army. "I have no
ticed," .concluded Mr. Talbert, "that those
who are invincible in time of peace were
generally invisible in time of war." ;
A Repulse for the Tariff Hill.
Washington, Feb. 14. The friends of

yesterday afternoon when, by the decisive
vote bf 21 yeas' to 29 nays, the senate de

man of tho flnanco committee, to take up
the measure. The negative vote which de
feated the motion was given by Demo
crats, Populists and four Republican sen
atorsviz, Teller, Mantle, Dubois and Car

publican, but its total is less than half
of the aggregate Republican strength.
Mr. Morrill's motion has been anticipated
for some 'day 8, but it was not pressed
pending consideration of the urgent de
ficiency appropriation bill, t

ette under De Long until the crushing of
the vessel in latitude 77 degrees 15 minutes
and longitude 155 east, indicated that, the
near approach t o the north pole was to be
made by a well equipped and properly con
structed vessel from that direction by the
New Siberian islands. - !
"The Jeanette had drifted through two
long Arctic nights in that region, and this
would indicate that if it is possible for a
ressel under" Orainary conditions to endure
so long, it is to -be expected that one of
special construction, as was Dr. Nansen's,
would succeed in going much farther. Dr.
Nansen's advance since June 24,1893, has
given him time to make at least very close
approach to the north pole, and I think it
highly probable that, with favorable con
ditions, he has succeeded in' arriving at
the long coveted point. " 5 ;
"Since communication with the New
Siberian islands at the mouth of the Lena
and Delta is continuously had by means
of the traders and hunters of that region,
it is not improbable ihat Dr. Nansen has
had means of sending dispatches to the
Russian settlements in Central Siberia,
ana thus nome. o 1 think the report is
not at all improbable. The appropriation
made by the Norwegian government, and
supplemented by private subscriptions, so
abundantly equipped JDr. Nansen that he
has been unhampered so fair aS his ship is
concerned, and the conditions : have been
altogether very favorable. '
"It wasj however, expected that the first
news from him would chronicle his arrjr,
val off the north coast of Greenland, as It
was his theory that his vessel would drift
with the ice north of the New Siberian
islands nearly, if not directly, over the.
north pole, and thence southward to the
coast of ; Greenland. It seems, however,
that instead of drifting south after once
having arrjved at the north pole he, has re
turned southward by way of the outward
voyage, as did De Long after the.crushing
' No Confirmation in St." Petersburg.
St. Petersburg, Feb. 15. No confirma
tion has been received of the news that
Dr. Nansen has discovered the north pole
and is returning to civilization. If he is
returning his own dispatches are likely to
arrive before any answer is possible to in
quiries sent to such wild regions, devoid
as they are of telegraph or other means of
regular communication. ; Captain Wig
gins opines that if it is true that Nansen
is returning he musfirave abandoned his
ship. This observer regards the report re
garding Nansen as not impossible. ,i . .

him Cordially, and in answer to the lead

not be because his friends would not world
