Succor Came When the Crew Had Given Up Hope of Rescue. WORKED AT THE PUMPS UNTIL EXHAUSTED. Signals of Distress Unobserved Until Water Had Covered the Decks. BOSTON, Mass, March 24—Twenty- seven happy men arrived in Boston har- bor o-day, glad that they were still in the land of the living. They were the rescued crew. of the ship Androsa, bound from San - Francisco to Liverpool, and to Cap- tain Wise of the Wilson line steamer On- tario they owe their lives. It was a thrilling tale of a terrific storm, of terrible sufferings and of a brave res- cue. from impending death that the sur- vivors told to & CALL correspondent to- day. The dismantled ship was sighted about 600 miles from their port. They had been out 127 days on the voyage. The Androsa carried the most valuable cargo sent from San Francisco last year. A hurricane struck the vessel on March 2. It tore through the rigging, stripped the yards and created havoc generally. Then the hull sprune a leak and for six days the seamen worked the pumps for their lives. They kept the water down pretty well until March 6, when it began to gain at an alarming rate. The pumps got clogged with grain, and the faces of the men blanched with fear. | They did not know how much longer they | could keep the ship afloat, but they kept | at it. Signals of distress were displayed, but for almost a week they were unob- served, and hope almost deserted the un- fortunsate sailors. Finglly the water arose to such extent in the bold that the crew was forced to | leave the deck, which was soon awash. | The seamen took to the rigging. Their | dying hope was revived and their joy was | indescribable when they saw the steamer Oaniario approaching. Their distress sig- nalsbad been goen aod just fn time. One of the Ontario’s boats was lowered, and the Androsa’s men were taken aboard. After the rescue storm followed storm unul the good ship arrived in port this | morning. The logbook of the Ontario shows that the passage must have been a bad one, for the steamer left London on March 1. The shipwrecked sailors were in a horrible condition. Their hands and | feet had become swollen, and they could not get their boots off their feet. ‘It was as fine a piece of work as I ever saw in my "’ said Captain Wise to a CaLL correspondent, referring to the res- cue. “We expected every minute to see the boat overturned. The sea was growing worse every minute. The waves were mountain high, and we lost sight of the boat between seas. Hurricane followed hurricane so fast that we could hardly keep track of them.” Captain Morgan of the lost vessel said to a CaLr correspondent: ‘‘When the leak was discovered we fastened the crew to the pumps with bow lines arouna each man, and as only the weather handle of a pump could be utilized we attached a bell- rope to the handle so that more men could work atonce. A part of the crew continued jettisoning the cargo, and, be- ing unable to leave their work for fear the vessel would founder, they had no nour- ishment for two days and nights. The men were fast becoming helpless. Their feet were swoilen to double their normal size, and some were unable to bear their weizht upon them. “As soon as the men became toex- hausted to work the pumps they were liftea pelow and given nourishment, and upon their recovering safficiently were lifted back to their position at the pumps, as they were unable to stand on their foet. It became a question of a few hours when the vessel would founder, as it was rap- idly sinking and the weak efforts of the crew at the pumps seemed to have po effect in keeping the water down. The Ontario came just 1n the nick of time."” The names of the rescued are: Captain David Morgan, First Mate William Elli- son, Second Mate David Evans, Boat- swain Hans Olenavens, Steward W. Ten ron and Seamen G. A. Tillman, H. M-yer, C. Stuyvesson, A. M. Stafsudd, F. Hud- son, C. Johnson, G. Broadley, C. Rov:land, C. Larson, R. Blought, H. Mathieson, J. Clarke, J. Farrington, O.

Balfour, Guthrie & Co., the commission merchants on Caliiornia street, were the agenis of the Androsa. Tue vessel was laden with a mi-cellaneous cargo. mostly iry zoods. Its owners were E. T. and F. W. Roberts of Liverpool, where it was built. Iis gross tonnage was 1892 tons. The Androsa was one of the stanchest thips that came {0 this port, and Captain Morgan is known as amost careful ma- tiner. 4+ Case of the Plague at Sues.

Detective Gibson Takes Charge of His Trunks aod Their Contents. Story of a Cruel Dessertion Told by the Putative Wife of the Ncbleman. MERIDIAN, Tex., March 24. —Detective Gibson arrived here this morning at 6 o’clock, and accompanied by G. A. Dodge went at once to the County Jail to view the body of Joseph E. Blanther, acting under instructions from Chief of Detec- tives Lees of San Francisco. Three pho- tographs of the dead murderer were taken in the yard ot the jail. The articles of clothing identified by Dodge as having been seen on Blanther in San Francisco were taken possession of by the California officers. Two trunks arrived from Cleburne, Tex., where they had been checked by Blanther. His ticket was also turned over to the detective. Both trunks were opened at the Sheriff's office and the contents examined. In one trunk was nothing but the effects of a woman who passed for a few months as Blanther's wife. The other, a well-worn leather trunk, was filled with all imaginable kinds of articles, but nothing that could identify the dead man as Blanther. All the coi- lars and shirts and other articles were marked with the initials, “A. F. K. evidently for Arthur Forbes Kopperl. The most interesting thing found in the trunk was a small phial, which had con- tained about ten grains of morphine tab- lets. This was empty. It was reportea on the street that De- tective Gibson was seen to find a small box which had been carefully concealed in some clothing, and to quickly examine the contents and then put it into his pock- et. He also obtained, it is said, some photos of women showing that -Blanther | had been in Georgia. The statement of Homer Randal and John Womack, the men who made the ar- rest, were taken to-day. The body of the murderer and suicide was turned over to Gibson and Dodge, who gave a receipt for it. The officers from California then gave directions for the burial of the corpse, and at 2:30 o’clock the coffin was lowered into the grave. With a pencil Dodge marked on the wooden beadboar: JOSEPH E. BLANTHER (Alias Arthur Forbes). DIED MARCH 22, 1897. turned away, Dodge said: “Poor Blanther! I was mourner be had, after all.” Detective Gibson and G. A. Dodge left at 5:20 o’clock for San Francisco in charge of Blanther’s trunk and contents. Blanther’s only dread after his capture was to meet the California officers. The supposition is that he bad mor- phine tablets concealed in his clotbing when placed in jail, and was pre- pared to take his life rather than return to California. He made no confession, but repeatedly asked if the California of- ficers had come. the only BLANTHEKR'S DESERTED WIFE. Ahe Declares Her Belief in Her Hus- band’s Innocencs. MONTGOMERY, Ara., March 24.—Mrs. Agnes Forbes, who has been in the city since a year ago last June, was separated at Atlanta from Bianther, who, she says, was her husband. She is now on her way to Meridian, Tex., to take charge of the body, baving left on Monday night on the receipt of & telegram from the San Fran- eisco Chief of Police notifying her of her alleged husband’s approacning death. She merely gave out to her friends here that she was intending to visit friends in Ga., but the local Chief of Police, who has been in communication with the Chief of Detectives in San Francisco, re- vealed the woman's identity. A year ago a strange woman arrived in the city and announced that she was pen- niless and, having been deserted by her husband, was determined to make her own livelibood. Sie became the agent for face cosmetics and rented a room first at 28 Robinson street, then at 96 Mobile street and later at 308 Scott street. She seemed to prosper in her business and the women of the city, to whom she told pitiful sto- ries, sympathized with her and financially aided ber. ' In June, 1896, shortkv after the death of Mrs. Linefeid, Mrs. Forbes called on Chief Gerald, who held a circular offering a reward for the capture of Blanther. She said she was in search of Arthur Forbes Lavenle Vrecourt, her husband, and she 420 1n Texas, claimed to be his relative.

The Chief was astonished at the! resemblance between the picture he held | of Joseph Blanther and thatof Forbes, and when he showed the Blanther photo- graph to the woman s"e pronounced it that of ber husband. She refused to re- linquish the photograph. Subsequently Mrs. Forbes wrote to the San Francisco police regarding the matter, saying the description and age corresponded with that of her recent husband. She was mys- tified only in the names, She said: *‘If Blanther is his real name he mar- ried me under an alias.

Dr. Carver, Tom Marshall and Henry Zee Lead With a Tie Score of Twenty- One Birds Each. LONG BRANCH, N. J., March 24— Elkwood Park not only claims the dis- | tinction of being the finest shooting | grounds in the world, but has the honor of being the scene of the best pigeon- shooting match known in the history of the world. The match referred to is the great American handicap, which commenced at 10 o'clock this morning with 146 entries. This is the largest number of shots ever competing in any single match. Eleven oi the entries who paid their $25 entrance fee forfeited. These were Ben Cooper, T. M. Farmer, T.D. Hooper, J. Wort, J. H. Shafer, “‘Chicago,” M. M. McMillin, Sim | Glover, A. H. Sherman, A. S. Hunter and W. H. Sanders. No reason was given for their withdrawal. The match could not be finished to-day on account of the darkness. Twenty-one rounds had been shot at 6 o’clock, when it was decided to discontinuc and shoot | off the remaining four rounds to-morrow | morning. Dr. W. F. Carver of Chicago, Tom Marshall and Henry Zee, of Newark, are tie with clean scores of 21 each. Over a dozen men are tie for second place. When the first squad of marksmen went to the traps this morning it was raining quite hard. Shortly before noon the sun came out, to the satisfaction and joy of all. During the afternoon a brisk wind blew across the grounds. Irby Bennet was the first to lose his bird, a right- driver. J. G. Messner, who was looked upon by many as a winner, had the same luck. The next to miss was G. E. Grieff, and after-him came “Old Hoss” Hostetter of Pittsburg. When the ninth round was finished thirty-five contestants had clean scores. In the next three rounds the number dropped to twenty - five. The greatest number of misses were made from the No. 2trap. This faces exactly south and caught the full benefit of the wind. Connie Ferguson, tre 15-year-old son of Cornelius Ferguson Jr. of Brooklyn, was the star attraction of the handicap until he was compelled to drop out in the sev- enteenth round. 0. R. Dickey, the winner of last year’s handicap, has twenty kills to his credit. His only miss was in the fourteenth round, when a left quarterer got away from him. With three tied for first money on the twenty-first round there is considerable speculation as to who will be the winner. Dr. Carver, on account of his past record, is thought to have the best chance, but Marshall and Zee may surprise him.

Captain Jack Brewer, who circulated a petition yesterday asking the committes to allow him to enter the handicap, find- ing that the committee would not accept his entry, declared he would enter suit against the Interstate Association for Leavy damages.

Colored Lad Cuts Oat the Pace All Through Twenty- Four Rounds. It is Give ani Take in the Wind- Up—Erne Over Weight, and Forfeits $500. NEW YORK, N. Y., March 24 —Frank Erne of Buffalo met George Dixon, the colored feather-weight champion, for the second time at ¢he Broadway Athletic Club to-night. Dixon got the decision without the shadow of cavil. Dixon was himself to-night and he did all the lead- ine up to the twenty-first round. Erne stayed away and scarcely landed three good blows until the twenty-first round. Dixon fought differently from his usual style. He was more cautious and tried hara to get Erne to lead, but the Buffalo lad appeared afraid and sluggish and he kept strictly away until after the twentieth round. Then he made a des- perate effort to knock his man out, but failed utterly. The preliminary was to have been a twelve-round bout between two colored middle-weights, Lon Beckwith of Cleve- land and George Beyers of Boston, but Boyers had his man groggy after two minutes and eight seconds of the fifth round and the referee stopped the bout. “There were 4000 spectatos present when Erne and Dixon appeared. Dixon weighed 1213, pounds and Erne scaled 13024 when they were weighed at noon to- day. Tom O'Rourke wanted to call the match off, but Dixon wished to fight and Erne forfeited $500. The betting was even. Dixon's seconds were Tom O’Rourke, Joe Elms and Charley Miner, while Erne was looked afier by ‘‘Brook- lyn” Jimmy Carroll, Frank Zimpher and Sam Callaghan. Before the men shook hands Tom O'Rourke addressed the spectators and declared, as manager of the club, that ail bets were off, as Erne was over weight, but the referee announced that all bets made after the weights were declared stooa. There was little work done in the first round. After & minute’s sparring Dixon’s left found the eye, Erne countering on the body. More sparring followed and George led again, but Erne clinched. Erne’s left reached the jaw lightly in the second, George countering on thie heart. George opened tue third with a left over the ear and a moment later sent the left hard on the nose and had the best of the fighting that followed. Dixon rushed, but as stopped with a left on the body. Erne ung a left on the jaw, George counter- ing bard on the wind. Just as the bell rang George sent a hard right on the nose. In the fourth George sent his left strong on the nose and repeated it a moment later. After a lot of sparring George shot his left to the jaw. Erne stopped a hard swing cleverly and they were sparring when the bell rang. George was fighting cautiously, but doiag ali the leading. Dixon knocked his man’s head clear back with a left in the Lifth and then put right and left on both sides of the jaw. Dixon waited for Erne to lead, but he would not, and tnen George hammered him on the jaw and body. Erne warmed up toward the close and put a couple of straight lefts on Dixon’s face. In the sixth Dixon went on the aggres- sive with & light left, after which he smashed a right on the body and followed with a left hook on the neck. Then George smashed a straight left on the face and repeated it a moment later, Erne countering on the body. Dixon -kept cutting out the pace in the seventh and did all the work., Both tried swinging in the eighth, but were wild. Dixon used a goud straight left with effect and punished his man on the wind. Erne’s left found the chin with great force in the ninth. Dixon put a hard leit on the wind and swung his right to the face. Erne led twice in the tenth but was short on the first and the second went over rge’s head. The eleventh was mainly devoted to sparring. Dixon was a bit careless on the opening of the twelfth and justescaped a fearful swing for the jaw. The blow just grazed and unearly staggered George. L'ne colored boy came back with telling force on the body. Erne puta good right on the body, but Dixon retaliated with a hard left on the body and then came again with his left on the j Both were fresh when the bell sounded half the journe; George cut loose in the thirteenth round ana landed a shower of blows on body and jaw. Erne countered on the nose, and after a mix-up George sent a fearful right on the &{t of the stomach that nearly doubled Erne up. The round was all Dixon’s. Dixon got right to work in the four- teenth with a right and left on head and body. Then Georze staggered his man witn a left flush on the face. Erne met a rush with a hard one on the mouth in the fiiteenth, and then Frank shot a left in for a right on the neck. Dix- Jonsbota hot left to the neck in th ! teenth, but Frank counterea 'sharply. George then lunded on the eye. Dixon staggered his man with a hard leit swing on the jaw in the seventeenth and had Erne on the run for'a second, but the. Buffalo boy recovered quickly, and was fighting when the bell rang. George started the nineteenth with a couple of smashes on the face. Dixon kept up the atiack, Erne not attempting to lead until djun as the bell rang, when they exchanged lefts with free hands in a clincb. Dixon smashed three lefts in the face without a return in the twentieth. Erne le twice after the opening of the twenty-first, but was wild, and George smashed him twice. Erne swung a hard right for a knock out, but the blow caught George on the back of the neck and only turied him around. Erne tried desper- ately with the right in the twenty-second and upper-cut George twice with the right. Dixon smashed in three or four on the face, and punched his right twice on the body in a clinch in the twenty-third. In the twenty-fourth, as Genrge rushed in Erne countered on the left eye. Erne led with a left and swung it on top of George’s head, whereat the colored lad smiled and drove a left over the heart. Dixon came in with a lert on the wind for the last round. Erne fiddled a lov and George caugh* him'a soaker on the ribs, repeating it later amid eheers. Krne sent a hard right to the heart, but George came back hard on the ear. Agsin Erne drove a left on the ribs and they came togsther for a fierce rally, both exchanging hard punches before the bell rang. There were loud cries for Dixon, and when the referee deciced in his favor there was not a dissenting voice. a7 S BAT TROPHIES FOR PETALUMANS. Prizes Awarded to the Marksmen of Company €, Militia.

Remarried Within Six Months After Obtaining Their Decrees. Loft the State to Evade a Peculiar Law, but the Precaution Was Fatile. TACOMA, Wasn., March 24— The statute in this State probibiting a person from marrying within six months after he or she has obtained a divorce was to-day decided by Judge Kean to hold good not only within the limits of the State, but outside its limits, The question was de- cided in the Marquardt case, the court fol- lowing the line of reasoning laid down by the State Supreme Court in re the Smith estate, in 4 Washington. In that case the doctrine is advanced that, where a divorce is granted witha prohibition against the remarriage of either of the parties until after the ex- piration of six months from the date of the decree, while the divorce is absolute and complete in all other respects, yet on the quesiion of the right of remarriage the decree will be considered as held in suspension during the six months, and not to take effect to that extent until the time has expired. ‘With this view of the case, Judge Kean announced that as the person was for the time incapacitated to marry and did not have the legal capacity to contract a mar- riage, an attempted marriage was void, and the rule that a marriage legal and valid in the jurisdiction where contracted remained legal everywhere did not apply. The announcement of Judge Kean’s de- cision has caused a sensation smong all classes, eince its effect must be to invali- date scores of marriages in every county in the State. At Tacoma, Spokane and Seattle alone the number will reach hun- dreds. Under the laws the obtaining of divorces In Washington is comparatively easy, and while this fact has not been generally advertised many persons have come from outside States to obtain mari- tal separations. Many of these bave been from Oregon, but others have come from as far East as New York. While divorced persons have been care- ful to abstain from re-entering wedlock daring the prescribed six months within this State, it has been the custom of those desiring to remarry to go to Victoria, B. C., or Portland, Or., and carry out their plans. Frequently persons have been divorced here one day and married out- side the State the next. These are the mar- riages now declared illegal. Large prop- erty rights are thus affected, and many children are judicially determined to be illegitimate. Buicide at Santa Crus.
