The Minnie. Rowan Fast Betweeli
; iTwo ROCKS on: Scltuate.
A Large Hole Stove in Her Bottom-
A dispatch from Scituate, Mass, says
that eight members of the crew of the
threemasted schooner Minnie Bowan,
of South“ Norwalk, bound for Boston,
coal laden, are in the rigging of the
vessel, which lies stranded about one
thousand feet from shore, near the third
The seas are breaking over the
schooner and drenching the men to the
skin. They are in a most dangerous
plight, and, owing to the rough seas
and high winds the life saving crew has
not been able to render any assistance
as yet. -' '
Every effort will be made, however,
to save the lives of the men, and i
they can retain their hold they may be
rescued. The‘ vessel will doubtless be
a total loss.
Senator John H. Ferris, one of the
owners of the Rowan, received a tele-
gram announcing the wreck Tuesday
and started for Boston. This morning
hetelephoned ,thatwit was, reported at
Boston that Capt. C. C. St. John and
crew had been rescued, but as he had
not gone to the scene of the wreck he
could not verify the report. He also
stated that it was reported that 'Captain
.St. John was severely injured. .
. Senator Jehn H. Ferris, who at once
departed for Boston on receipt of the
telegram announcing the wreck of the
three-masted schooner Minnie Rowan
ofi‘ ‘Scituate, Mass, telephoned _Wed-
nesday that he had gone to the scene
of the wreck on Wednesday and found
the Rowan lying fast between two rocks
with her back broken and a large hole
stove in her bottom. H e also estimated
that about 500 tons of coal had been
washed overboard. Wednesday even-
ing he carried four of the’ crew, who
were badly frost bitten, to the Boston
hospital where they are doing nicely.
The report that Captain St. John had
broken his leg is untrue. When taken
. off the wreck the captain was nearly
exhausted and is now threatened with
pneumonia, but Mr. Ferris hopes that
he will pull through all right.
. It is not known yet what will be done
in regard to the wreck, whether she
will be sold to the highest bidder or an
attempt made to get her off.
A telegram received from Captain A.
B. St. John Wednesday announces
the safe arrival of the Rowan’s sister
ship,_ the Eva L. Ferris, at Norfolk,

The Disease Entirely Drivln Out
By Six Bottles of Allen’s.
Mr. ELLIS B. USHER of Bonny Eagle,
Maine, whose case has become well
known for miles around, and whose re-
lease from this terrible disease is consid-
ered almost a miracle by all who know
him, is now a well man, and considers
Allen's Sarsaparilla the most wonderful
medicine of the age. ‘
BONNY EAGLE, Ma. Gentlemen .- —
Your. Sarsaparilla has been of untold
value to me. For-twenty-six years} have
suffered from acute rheumatism; have
had rheumatic fever eight or ten times,
and have hardly been free from rheumat-
Vic pains for many years until about sev-
‘en months ago. For the last six or
eight years I have suffered terribly. .I
have spent hundreds of dollars for doc-
tors and medicine, but could get no ben-
efit. I tried all the remedies known, in-
cluding two kinds of sarsaparillas, but
continually grew worse, until I was un-
able to do even the lightest work. I
could hardly move around. I was in
this condition, and had been so for over
a year, when I began taking Allen’s
Sarsaparilla. I have now taken six bot-
tles, and have hardly felt a twinge of
rheumatism for seven months, during
which time I have been doing a man’s
I can now do as much
hard work in a day as the majority of
all of which is due to Allen’s

ANOTHER LIFE SAVED.
Exoc S. SMALL, of Windham Centre,
Me., writes :—For some time I have been.
very sick with kidney disease and was
given up to die; in fact I did not expect
to live much longer. I was all bloated
up to nearly twice my usual size, and
had a continued pain in my kidneys and
liver. I tried doctor’s medicine in vain,
took two bottles of a very well-known
sarsaparilla, without receiving any ben-
efit, and at last began taking Allen’s
Sarsaparilla. The first few (loses made
me feel worse, and I thought I should
have to give it up, but I continued its
use and had not taken half a bottle before
I began to feel very much better. I con-
tinued to improve and now I consider
myself cured. I have no pain, the sore-
ness and weakness are all gone, and I
am gaining strength every day. I
think Allen’s Sarsaparilla saved my
life, and I am vimi ofan opportunity to
speak in its praise and to reéommend it
to others.
A BETTER MAN.
C. Y. FULLER, Blacksmith, East Uu~
ion, Mo, writes :—For four years I have
' had kidney disease, which has been con-
tinually growing worse, although I took
medicine that claimed to be a sure cure.
My trouble consisted of a severe pain in
the lower part of my back and hips, and
also a complete loss of appetite. I be-
gan taking Allen’s Sarsaparilla, and two
bottles have cured me. The pain left
my back and hips and has not returned
since. My appetite is complete, for the
first time in years. Allen’s Sarsaparilla
is decidedly the best medicine I ever
used, and I will recommend it to all. It
cures.

Charles also Gets Drunk; and
’ Demolishes the'Plano.
Sent to Bridgeport Jail by the Jus-
tice. '
Charles Britto’, a loafer well known
in the police court, left his home at 19
Monroe :street, . South Norwalk, Sun-
day morning and went to Stamford
where he visited a‘ club room and spent
the day in playing cards and drinking.
After he had become thoroughly drunk
he purchased a bottle of liquor and
took the train for South Norwalk. Ar-
riving .at the depot he alighted and
staggered to his "home. When he
reached the house ’ he found his wife
playing onthe piano, and on her refus-
ing to stop he grabbed the lamp from
off the piano and threw it out, of the
house. He then went down cellar and-
procuring an' an came up and demol-
~ished the piano. ‘WOrd was at once
sent to the police and Britto was ar-
rested and locked up.
When the case was called before Jus-
tice Barrett this morning, Mrs. Britto
appeared and related the story of her
husbands conduct andcruelty. They
h’ vs four children and Mrs. Britto
works and supports them besides her
drunken husband, who, according to
his own testimony, has not done any-
thing for their support other than work-
ing at odd jobs for about ten weeks
during the last fifteen months. Dur-
ing the trial Britto constantly threat-
ened his wife, and was ordered to keep
still by the court. It also leaked out
during the trial that Britto had been
arrested for drunkenness and to keep
him from going to jail his wife had
borrowed the money and paid his fine,
but Britto has never had the manhood
to repay the loan.
After giving Britto a severe lecture
on his conduct Justice. Barrett fined
him 37 and costs and gave him thirty
days in jail in addition. Britto ap-
pealed the case and went out in com-
pany with officer Pennington to get a
bondsman, but failing in this he with-
drew his appeal and was taken to Jall.
It was the unanimous opinion of
those present at Court that Britto
should have received at least ninety
days for his conduct.

be non-irritating”. easy of application,
and one that will reach the remote

proof positive that only one remedy has
completely met these conditions, and
that is Ely’s Cream Balm. This safe
