Rescues tha Cicwof ths Henrietta, Captain Hubbard, of tha West India Mail Steamship Company steamer Barracouta, has been remarkably succsssful In rescuing victims of shipwreck. He has many medals from humane societies hero and abroad for what ho has done. While second officer of the National Lina steamship, the Greece he cammand'jd the boat that took oft over 200 Eassengers from the Franco, of the French ine, which went down in mil ocean about a doz-sn years ago. 8 nee then h has saved . i" j . i 1 1 . i bno crvws oi nyo oiner smaller crait. ine last of these beiuz Captain John L. Hani- iiiett and six me i, who were taken oflf from tho sinking sc'iooner Henrietta on Saturday and brought into this port on the Birracouta 3"eterday. Tha Henrietta, which was about 115 tons burden, belonged to Esenhaur & Co., of Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. She sailed from Auguilla, west Indies, on December 1, with a c irgo of salt. During th first night out a terrific gale struck her. A heavy .sea arose w'hichNhe r. de but poorly on account of h r heavy cirgo. -The reefed foresail was split and shortly afterward tha- stern trisail was torn to shreds.. As ths storm increased and th craft liecnm more unmanageable, the captain ordered the m?n t throw over some of tho salt. The r broke through the cabia bulkhead to reach the hold aud threw over board twenty tons of cargo. This helped things a little for a tiai but with daylight came still heavier waves and fiercer gales. A leak was sprung, the rudder was carried away, and after throwing out a drag and finding he could do nothing e se the captain let the schooner run right before the wind under a closely reefed main sail. ; Things began to look desp-rate. The men toiled at the pumps night and day until the fourth evening, when the weather began to mxlerate. This afforded little relief, how ever, as the leak was so bad that it was easy to see the ship would go down if they stopped work at the pumps. Exhausted as they were the men kept on pumping while the captain fired signals of distress from both quart 'is. For six days they drifted in this ay, catching a glimpse of but a single ship which was too far distant to see their signals. On last Friday evening, however, the Bar racouta, on her way here fr m St. Croix, hove in sight. It was about ten o'clock and captain Hubbard himself happened to be on the bridge. Noticing a bright light flashing up a d going out ag in on his port bow he made for it. The sea. and wind was so high when he came within banling distance that it seemed dangerous, to launch a boat. But on hearing the schooner's couditio i he called for volun ee to go to tho rescue. Every officer anu man came forward. Chief olficer Wdlliarus and four stalwart fellows were selected.' The mo n wh'c'a had been under the clouds up to that time came out and by this light and by skillful management the boit reached the schooner, took off four of thi exhausted crew and brought them to the Earracouta. A sec nd trip was made for Captain Ham meu, t le other two sailors and such baggage ai ecu d ba secured. "Tbey were a badly usd u lot of men," said Ctpiain Hubbard, a: he talked about the affair in hiscosey little ca in "aud I don't think they could have s uck it out much longer." ''-.o," broke in Captain Hammett, whose weather beaten face still showed t aces of the rough experience he had on the sinking schooner. "I don't think we could either. We were simply fighting for life during those ten i ays, and that made us desperate. One has no idea what he can do till he is placed in that po i 'v'oi. But I I ell you when w e struck the steauiar's deck we all felt as though we had just been lifted out of the grave. It's the first crsf fc I ever had to leave under such circumstances. " The schoonr was last seen in latitude twenty four degrees and t venty-six minutes and longitude twenty-s.x degrees and twelve minutes. She did not sink while in sight of t'aestetmer. Her loss is nearly covered by insurance. FIRE AT ST. AUGUSTINE. Qreat Destruction to the Business Io. t ion of the Town. Fire broke out at St. Augustine, Fla., in the paint-room of C. F. Hamblen's store, which is near the sea-wall and south of the plaza. The clerks and others had to flee for their lives. Tho fire department responded promptly, but the fierce heat prevented the firemen from doing much good. The inflam mable material of the surrounding buildings furnished food for the flames, and had it not been for the favorable breeze blowing to ward the bay the entire town, with the palatial Ponce de Leon and other maguiiicent hotels, would have been destroyed. After four diours' hard fisht with engines and bucket bi igades the fire was under control. The losses are: C' F. Hamblen, $35,00.) : J. H.

' . - The fire department consists of two new Sflsby engines and one hook and-ladder company, out it was forty minutes before the steamers could get up steam and throw a stream. The losses cannot bo obtained to night, but the total loss will be about $200,000; insurance $:50,O00. The town will be rebuilt in old Spanish and Moorish style. POWDER MILL DESTROYED.

ROBBING UNCLE SAM. An Old Swindling Game Worked at the Cincinnati Sub Treasury. The office of the Sub-Treasury in the Gov. ernment Building atjCincinnati, was entered by an apparently respectable man and wo man and the gentleman, stepping forward asked the Sub-Treasurer's assistant, Mr. Munson, to oblige him with large bills for $1,000 in notes of smaller denomination. . He complied with the l-equest, but found after thev left that they had secured $500 more than was their right. He Immediately fol lowed, but could not find them in the crowd ed streets. They were seen to separate at the nearest corner, each goiag in a different direction. The secret service men were put on the case within five minutes, but as yet have found no trace of the pair. The litter seemed perfectly familiar with the office, even so much as to speak of one of the officials who was not present. An hour later, a well-dressel gentleman ordered a gold watch of Duhme & Co., jewellers, at Fourth and Walnut streets, a block away, requesting that it be sent to bis room, where he would pay for it on delivery. The messenger was given a certified check on the Franklin Bank, which was found to be bogus. The landlady from whom the room was rented states that the swindler had secured it from her scarcely an hour before. The same swindle was worked on Wilmot J. Hall & Co., Chas. Smith & Co. and A. A. Bennett & Co., the total amount secured be ing in the neighborhood of $500. He also socured $3X) from a Third street merchant by the same means. The swindler is a young man of good appearance. That he is adept at his trade is estabhsbed when it is known that the swindles were accomplished within rew n nrs and in ainerent pms or inecity. The checks in each ease were drawn on the same bank, the cashier's name being forged. The operator is the same who recently worked in Chicago, New York and Philadelphia A CHINESE PROCURER. He I m port el Pretty (iit-Is aud Sold Them for $1,500 Each. The first convksion in the cases against Chinese procurers who bring over female slaves for brothels in Cliinat ,wn, San Fran cisco, CaL, was gained when YFung Ah Chung was declared guilty of the crime of importing twj young girls for sale. His conviction was due to a clear story told by the girls, who were sold by their relatives to the procurer and to a document found on 1 his person which gave instructions for the girls in regard to proving prior residence in J California.
