Experience of Admiral Bunce's Ves- sels—Showed Sea-Going Qualities of a High Order, Admiral Bunce’s blockading squadron reached Charleston, S. C., yesterday after- noon, as indicated in dispatches to The Star, after a disastrous voyage from Hampton Roads. Three men were lost overboard from the battle ship Maine dur- ing the gale Friday, one man was crushed to death on the cruiser Marblehead, an- other was fatally injured, and six others were so badly hurt that several may lose limbs. The Marblehead made bad weather of the blow. As she lies off the jetties she presents a dismantled appearance. Her forecastle is stove in, a portion of her su- Perstructure and two hatches carr! away. The heavy seas that swept her decks also carried away her search light, lower port boom, smashed the rails and Swept overboard the life boats. Carpenter Shawberl was crushed to death in the forecastle when it was wrecked by a monster wave, and Plumber Hickey had his skull crushed by the wreckage, and probably will die. The six seamen who were injured were believed to have been hurt at the same time, but the officers of the vessel are reti- cent as to the details of the accident. It is understood that the injured men will be brought ashore for treatment today. Shaw- berl was buried at sea. ‘The other vessels of the fleet show marks of their rough voyage, their upper deck hampers being damaged. The Voyage From Hampton. The squadron weighed anchor in the roads Thursday morning and put to sea. Friday evening the weather thickened, and by night it was blowing a gale. The Indiana returned to the roads, owing to the condition of her turrets. The rest of the fleet, however, poked their noses into the storm and headed south. When about fifty miles off Hatteras the fleet encountered the full force of the blow. Open squadron formation was maintained, and the vessels were put in order for a siege of weather. i ‘The bate ship Maine rolled in the bis seas, the waler washing her decks at every plunge. Ii was late Friday afternoon that the accident occurred which cost three seamen their lives, and three others were rescued only by prompt and heroic work. A gang of men were ordered forward to make more secure the lashings of the big guns. The deck was deluged, and the wind was freshening every moment. The men were at work with the lashings, when an unusually heavy sea curled over her bows and swept aft Six of the gang were picked up and car- riei cverbeard before they could escape the wave. Work of Rescue. When the ery of “Man overboard” was carried back there was a scene of mom tary confusion, but in an instant th» splen- dil Ciscipline of the crew was apparent. Life buoys were cut loose, and the order quickly given to get a boat overboard. The high seas made this a work of peril and difficulty, but a boat's crew, under Naval ‘adet Waiter R. Gherardi, son of Rear Ac mira! Gherardi, retired, was finally low- ered, excelient seamanship alone prev ing ‘the frail craft from being crushal against the sides of the big battle shi While the engines had been reversed at the first signal from the bridge. the mo- mer.tum of the ship had carried her some distance beyond the spot where the seamen were swept overboard, and the set of the current was carrying them farther away every moimcnt. ‘The ship's crew watched the rescuers as they pulled manfully in the heavy seas, the waves running so high that the little boat was at times hidden from the vessel's deck as it rushed down into the trough. Drowning Men Battle for Life. Meantime the drowning men fought bravely and three of them managed to keep afloat until their mates hauled them from the water. They were Seamen Hassel, Cro- ran and Freeman. The remaining three—Brown, Nelson and Kogel—were not to be seen, The lifeboat cruised back and forth over the spot, but the brave fellows had given up the struggle and met a sailor's fate. Cadet Gherardi and his boat’s crew were highly compl- mented by the. officers for their bravery. Friday night the fleet made heavy weath- er of it, but managed to keep within signal- ing distance of one another. Toward morn- ing the squadron hove to and weathered out the rest of the gale in that manner. The (fficers say it was one of the worst galcs the fleet has ever experienced, and all unite in praising the seageing qualities of the vessels. Beyond the loss of the three men there were no further accidents, and the fleet bears little mark of its tempestuous voy- 2. tthe Fern made Charleston before the worst of the gale, being forty-eight hours ahead of her consorts in making harbor. The Dolphin, which came up from the scuth, arrived Sunday and experienced no severe weather. ‘A boat from the Maine went up to the city yesterday afternoon with several ofti- cers. They visited the collector of the port and filed telegrams. A dispatch from Wash- ington was awaiting Admiral Bunce, pre- sumably from the Navy Department, in connection with the blockading maneuvers. The greatest fears were entertained by every one for the safety of the big moni- tor, Amphitrite. But she rode through the gale without the loss of life. Captain Schley of the New York said that she was caulked up tight, and, with her decks clear under the waves, fought it out. With the enormous amount of heavy superstructure ft 1s not at all probable that the monitor escaped without considerable damage. Burial at Sea. ‘The Marblehead had a sad ceremony Sat- urday afternoon. The body of the dead carpenter was sewed up in canvas, welght- ed with shot and consigned to the watery grave. The commanding officer of the ship read the burial services. Aboard the Maine the commanding officer and two of his officers formed a board of inquiry to investigate and report on the loss of the three men. The Marblehead and Columbia found the Amphitrite and proceeded to the bar. The New York returned as far north as Hat- teras, looking for her, and then headed for Charleston. What damage has been done to the fleet cannot be learned. While the ships were cff the bar, the fleet engineer was sent aboard the Maine, probably to inspect her ergines. The following ships are now at the mouth of Charleston harbor: The flagship New York, battle ship Maine, cruisers Columbia and Marblehead, mcni- tor Amphitrite, dispatch boat Dolphin and the transport Fern.

Grosvenor of Ohio and Richard- son of Ternessee as tellers on the part of the House to count the electoral vote on Wednesday, = = aes MR. DAVIS INDORSED The Northeast Citizens’ Association Favors His Confirmation. The Work of the Civie Center Ex- Plained—Question of Openin: The features of the regular meeting last evening of the Northeast Washington Citi- zens’ Association were an address by Dr. John M. Gregory, president of the Civic Center, and the indorsement of Henry E. Davis for district attorney. Dr. Gregory Was present in response to an invitation extended by the association at {ts Januarv meeting, and he was greeted with enthusi- astic applause, after a glowing introduction by President. Evan H. Tucker. At the beginning of his remarks Dr. Gregory stated that he had read of the deeds of the Northeast Citizens’ Associa- tion, though not personally acquainted with its members. He then went on to ex- plain that the Civic Center is an organiza- tion of good citizens, not affiliated with any trade interests, but intended to serve as a central agency to co-operate with all other organizations working for the general good of the communit: The Civic Center, the speaker went on to say, is by no means a novel organization, because for fifteen years past there has been a move- ment in England and the United States for municipal betterment. Continuing, Dr. Gregory stated that the attention of each committee of the Civic Center is specially directed to four points. The first of these is to make a careful soctological survey of the entire field of the city to ascertain what is the condition of the city as regards the scope of each com- mittee. The second is the taking of a census of the forces already at work, or the societies engaged in promoting intellectual and moral well being. There are over 200 of these organizations in existence. The third point is the bringing to notice, if such 1s found, the neglected territory, and the fourth, by all methods of publicity to arouse the attention of the public. The movement for municipal betterment is in the air, Dr. Gregory went on to say. He called attention to the fact that public interests cannot be separated from private interests, and further stated that Wash- ington stands alone as the one federal city of the country. It has a conspicuous posi- tion, and it is impossible to change its in- fluence. Here, according to Dr. Gregory the entire country should find something worth copying. The boldness with which the great cities of England have taken hold of the matter of reform was described at some length, In conclusion, Dr. Gregory remarked that he was present at the meeting particularly to urge that there is in the air of the nineteenth century that which will bring about needed municipal reforms. All mun- icipal privileges that are needed for the public good will surely come. Dr. Gregory paid a glowing tribute to the women as workers for reform, and added that the molecular forces of society will in the end bring about the desired result. He wanted to see Washington the model city of the Union and of the universe. On motion of Mr. Martin a unanimous vote of thanks was tendered Dr. Gregory A communication from the East Wash- ington Citizens’ Association was read, re- questing co-operation in the effort to secure the opening of the Congressional Library each week day evening. Mr. King, Dr. Kirby and several others spoke in favor of urging that the library be opened Sundays, as well as evenings. It was voted, by a larrow margin, to adopt a memorial to Congress t> that effect. The question of sustaining the memorial was referred to the committee on proposed legislation, and the secretary was directed to notify the East Washington Association of the action taken. Mr. Davis’ Nominatio: The matter of the nomination of Henry E. Davis for the office of United States attorney in and for the District of Colum- bia was brought to the attention of the association by Mr. H. H. Martin, who offered the following memorial, addressed to the Senate of the United States: “Your memorialists, the Northeast Wash- ington Citizens’ Association, respectfully present to your our indorsement of the nomination of Henry E. Davis, esq., for the office of United States attorney for the District of Columbia. Having confidence in Mr. Davis as a man of supreme ability. strict integrity and dauntiess courage an: energy, we feel assured that every interest of the government and of all the residents of the District of Columbia would be faith- fully served by, him. We, therefore. most earnestly pray your honorable body to con- firm his nomination.” Mr. Chappell, in indorsing the memorial, attempted to review the political situation as regards Mr. Davis. Mr. Carver arose to a point of order, and Mr. Chappell re- marked: “As usual, I'll sit down if I am so ordere by the president. ‘The speaker was permitted to conclude. Dr. Kirby questioned the propriety of the resolution. Its adoption would arouse sen- timents, he thought, that would not be for the advancement of the association. Dr. Kirby moved that the memorial be laid on the table, but it failed to carry. After a general discussion, Mr. Davis re- ceived the unanimous indorsement of the association for the local United States dis- trict attorneyship. The special committee on charities, con- sisting of Messrs. John B. Algate, John R. Colvin and A. Hi. F. Holsten, reported that it found its occupation was gone by reason of the fact that all contributions for the relief of the poor had been disposed of, that the sources of supply had become exhaust- ed, and that no funds from any source were available. ‘While it is claimed that the donations for the poor from this section of the city were distributed to the poor of the sec- tion,” the report read, “your committee had no means of verifying such statement.” The committee recommended the adop- tion of a resolution setting forth that all contributions, of whatever nature, made by the people of the northeast section of the city should be under the control of and dis- tributed by a properly constituted commit- tee of its citizens, to the end that such con- tributions may not be diverted from and made of no avail for the needs of those for whom they were intended. The resolutions sugeéested that the president of the associa- tion be empowered to appoint such a com- mittee as the one mentioned. It was pro- vided that the proposed commiitee shall have power to solicit contributions and expend the same to those who are found to be needy, and to formulate such plans for the procuring ef such supplies as they shall from time to time need for the relief of the suffering poor. After the transaction of other business of a routine nature, the association ad- journed. —— HE GAVE OUT THE QUESTIONS. A New York Oustom House Clerk Severely Punished. Just before the Decomber examinations for promotion in the New York custom house Theodore Babcock, jr., secretary of the board of examiners, Jearned that ques- tions to be used in the examinations were in possession of. one or more competitors. Mr. Babsock came to Washington and re- ported the matter te the commission. It was decided to hold the examinations and excite no suspicions. During the examination and afterward Mr. Babcock traced, the orisia of the leak- age to Thomas F. Murphy, a clerk em- ployed in his own office, and he at onze re- quested the collector to relieve Murphy from duty. Murphy fnaily acknowledged taking the questions sur-eptitiousty from a private compartment of the secretary's desk by means of a duplicate key. Me was suspended and afterward removed from the service by the Treasury Department. The commission has continued the inves- tigation, and--while it J3 not believed the questions were known to but few, it may not be possible to- determine positively the extent to which they were. known. The fact that ecg mid ee ge ti Sond the examination of its integrity, Papers have been canceled and the competitors will be re-examined March 22. Murphy was alone responsible for the vi- olation of the lay IP angers to removal, his case will be to the Attorney General for prosecution in the courts for violating section 5 of the civil service act. ——____+ e+_____ ‘The will of the late Oliver T.
