Big Schooner Founders. Drew In
Rigging For Thirty Six
Hours'.
Seven of the cr w of the three-masted
schooner Frederick Rossner, after
clinging to the one remaining man of
their waterlogged and partially disman
tled vessel for thirty-six hour,- were
rescued off Hatteras Sundae af rnooplMw)Ufaolurlng Company's plant yes
by the United Stale steamer Carriilo.
- Bound for New Bedford With a cargo
of lumt er from a Sou h Atlantic port,
the Fredrick Rossner, Captain Chase,
was caught in the gale on Frioay nigh ,
before all hands could be summoned
on dck to shorten sail the blow carried
away two of the masts, snapping them
off close to the deck. The mass of
wreckage toppled overboard, putting the
lumber-laden vessel at the mercy of the
towering waves which soon began to
break over the helpless schooner.
The men were forced to take to the
one remaining mast as the deck load of
lumber began to go overboard and the
chooner to leak through the seams
from the pounding of the waves. With
out food and soaked to the skin, they
watch) d the si hooner sink lower and
lower in the water all day Saturday
while with blood-shot eyes they scanned
the horizon for the sight of a pasnirg
vessel. The storm whxh had wrecked
their vessel passed, but the deck of 'he
schooner was awash, cutting off tm tr
food and water supply. All of Satur
day night and Sunday morning they re
mained in the rigging, chilled to the
bone by the brisk northeast wind.
Sun J y afternoon at 2:30 o'clock the
United Fruit steamer' Carriilo. bound

wretched men thought the steamer

AttemptS to Break in Women's
Boom at Bridgeton. Bound
Over, to Superior Court -Without
Bond.
" J. S. Johnson, a young white man
who claims Wilmington and several oth
er North Carolina cities at bis home, is
now being held in the county jail in this
city without bond on a very serious
charge, that of attempting to break u
to a room in a dwelling at Bridgeton
jthich was eccupied by ladies.
f TArinaAtt nrelner at OwtArrat Ata a fam
days ago and secured board with Mrs.
M. C. Cahoon at that place. He was
givan a room in the ell part of the build
ing and seemed to be well satisfied wilb
his new place. It was noticed by Mrs
Cahoon and ber daughter that the new
boador acted in rather a suspicious man
oer at times but they paid but little at
tention t him.
Lae Tuesday night Mrs. Cahoon, ber
daughter nd a neighbor wbo waa spen
ding the night with the family, heard
sorre one trying to enter the room
M ss Cahoon ran to the window and
called for help. Several persons re-
f ponded and found Johnton outside the
bed room door. His condition at the
time clearly showed that he was under
tne it fluence of ' some powerful drug.
He was placed under arrest but fought
o t av g ly that it was found ncceasa
y to ecjirely bind his arms and fet
before he could be controlled and con
viye.d to this city and placed in jail.
Yesterday morning he waa given a
preliminary hearing before Justice ol
the Peace W. R Barrington, on a war
rant charging him with an attempt at
burglary. The defendant refuse! to
plead tither guilty or not guilty, and
in fact but little could be got out of
bim. However the magistrate found
probable cause and bound him over to
superior court without bond.
That Johnson ia a slave to "dope"
in various forms there ia but little
doubt. On bis person were found sev
eral packages which had contained co
caine, and his actions at the time of his
arrest ihowed that he waa mentally
unbalanced at that time.
