. The large three-matted schooner M. L.
Bonnell was burned to the water’s edge
, ‘ last night, offthe Norwalk Islands, and
; is almost a total loss.
Residents of the hills about Norwalk
flrét noticed the blaze. which kept in-
meaning in brilliancy. about 7 o’clock last
night, off Oak Neck, on the Long Island
shore. The vessel drifted across the
Sound to the vicinity of the Stamford
light. and then came up the Sound to
' the Norwalk Islands. where she ground-
ed on the beach at Copp Island. The
boat continued to burn all night, and is
.at present on fire}
Captain Stanley Lowndes. of the
steamer J. Howard Lowndes, put out to
her this morning. ‘He succeeded in get—
ting a line to the schooner. and took her
in tow for Cockenoe’ 11 Island. The fire
was still burning fiercely. and there was
a dense smoke in and about the big ship.
while frequently there was the noise of
an explosion.

company a plant at Wilson Point.

secured Captain H Rowland to take the
steamer Medea down and learn the cir-
cumstances. The Medea could not get
near enough to the Lowndes to speak
with her, and after ascertaininf that
nothing could be done she returned.
Superintendent Mills reported that the
vessel was doomed, her main and mizzen
masts and the aft portion of the boat
havinglbeen burned away: The forward
mast was still standing, with the sails
set, although they had been badly torn
n the main must falling through them
The boat was about four miles out
from Goose Island, and had apparentif
been headed east. None of the crew
were about the boat, having abandoned
her. It is probable she was deserted
soon after she caught fire.
Mr. Mills thinks the boat was loaded
with some kind of acid, and it was the
, carboys containing the stuff that ex-
ploded at intervals 0n the forward
deck of the boat could be seen several
large casks, similar to those used to
hold acids.

the Bonneli was owned in New York.

Mr. Sculley treated of the early work

endeavoring to show that while .111 who
participated in those explorations and
settlements ware influenced to a greater

catholicity among the native, Catholic
missionaries left their homes and coun-
tries to brave the dangers of unknown
lands, actuated solol y by 11 dosireJor the

—Salvation Army hymn.
A long time ago a very wise man
prophesied. “A little one shall become a
thousand and a small one a strong
nation." Is it possiblethat he had in
mind the Salvation Army?
Many of us can remember. when the
Army was the butt of universal ridicule,
caused. probably. by the novelty of its
methods and the peculiar dress of its
followers. Before that period there was
a time when it was really a dangerous
thing to enlist in the Army. The "sticks
and stones, which break men's bones“
have not been an unknown factor in the
evolution of this powerful organization.
In these latter days, however, bodily
persecution is confined to the foreign
field. Americans know the work of the
Army so well, and have found in it so
much of human sympathy and fraterrr
alisrn, that long ugozthey ceased t9 rail
at these soldiers of the cross, and, gen-
orally speaking, have learned to look up
to the officers as men and women won-‘
dcri’ully unselfish, and possessing a kind
of divine property which enabled them
to is content with the pl11inest and most
unambitious lot.
111 our large cities, particularly, the
Army has attained :1 strong foothold.
The poor, the sick, the dying. the pris-
oner. tho destitute. and "in- that has no
helper" are the fit subjects of. its (1111-11;
and the crowning bounty of it all is, that
this which it gives is personal. individu-
al help. No sending of paid 111issi1111a1"
ies, notrusting 11.1 lifeless dollars to do
the work which man alone chn do for
man—that is not the manner of the Sal-
vation Army. There is no place so for-
saken of the righteous that those bravo
soldiers dare not enter to plead and pray
under the banner of the cross. There is
no man so degraded. no woman so lost
to womanly virtue, that they will dos-
pair of his or her temporal and eternal;

'" Is not this the spirit

which is lackingiu ourohnrches todaymv
the work which We as Christians are too
indolent, too niggurdly or too "some
thing” to undertake? Clorgymen all
over the land seem to have arrivcdnt
the same conclusion and are upholding
the Salvation Army as an institution
ordained of God to :wcomplish the work
which the church. with all its talents,
will not do.
With this statement of facts. which
are not new, let us turn to the work now
being donl1 in South Norwaik. Two
oillccrs, Captain Trcvitt and Lieutenant
Dammes are stationed here and have
been conducting meetings every night- in
a hall on the Washington street bridge.
Captain 1'}. J. 'i‘rcvltt is an English
girl of good family, who entered the
ranks some five years ago. She is bless:
(ill with an attractivo personality and a
fearless enthusiasm which wins many
friends for the cause she loves. Her work
has loin mostly inNew York cit y,11nd some
of the scenes of sin and suil’oring which
she describes are honrtrendingfihe speaks
in the highest terms of the kindness and
good-will which the people here have
shown the Army representatives. Two
young women entering a strange place
without the wherewithal to furnish
their rooms 01' to provide for themselves
for more than 11 few days, determined to
establish :1 mission which may or may
not prove soifsustaining-«two people
under these conditions are in a position
to appreciate the value of a helping
hand. And not only hands, the
captain says, but South Norwalk
hearts and South Norwalk pocket-
books. as well, have been open-
ed to help. Rev. A. s. Kavnuogh.
Dr. Beard. Rev. and Mrs. R. O. Shor-
wood, Frank Ferris and many others
have done what they could to make
plain the wayof the Salvation losses.
Hero is the copy of 11 letter that has
been of great service to Miss Trcvitt in
introducing the work here:
