Their Thrilling Story of Pro- longed Misery, Madness and Death. Five Days Without Water and With Nothing to Eat but the Cap- taln’s Dog. ST. JOHNS, N. F., May lL.—Another boat belonging to tts wrecked French | bricantine Vaillant. 'was accounted for to- day, though only four of the twenty-one | personsaboard lived to ceil a tale of pro- ongzed misery rarely equaled in marine annals. These Tour were picked up on April 30 by the fishing vess 1 Amedeo and lanuded at St. Pierre to-night. Their boat left the Vaillant with twenty- one poopie, including the captain and his dog.” They baa not'time to provide food, viater or ours,and the boat drifted about 1ike a log for days. Those aboard crowded the boat greatly and huge seas swept over them: necessitating consiant bailing. Few ‘of those aboard were well clad, as all were inbed when the accident happened, and Diercing winds increased their suffering. Vainly they tried to quench their thirst by sucking. ice and chewing their leather | belts, and their vitality was speedily ex- hausted. After two days’ exposure the castaways began to succumb. Four died on the third day. six on the fourth, three more | sutcumbed on the fifth day and another | four on the day preceding the rescue. | Many deliberately threw themselves into | the sea to avoid further suffering, while othersdied raving mad. The effect on the survivors was appalling. They are still haunted by tha terrors of - these spec- tacles, especially by the actions of those who, becoming insane, scugint to overturn | t:e boat 10 end the misery of all. | The dog was killed on the third day and | its body eaten, the survivors drawing lots | for shares. The captaindied on the fourth | day and nis body, like all of the rest, was immediately committed to the waves. By using the clothing of the dead the surviv- ors managed to keep from freezing. When rescued they had exbausted the dog meat the night before and Jay amid ice in the bottom of the boat. Qne of | them saw a light bearing down on them and had barely strength to shoutas the Amedeo passed within a foot of sinking them altogether. Their clothing was [lmmd thickly coated with ice and their limbs 80 badly frost bitten that they will | have to be amputated. They relate their experiences with difficulty, but declare that no cannibalism was resorted to. They saw none of the other boats. Will "ot Fisit San Diego.

Murders the Children of the Woman Who Gave Him a Night’s Shelter. After Then Committing an Assault He Steals a Horse and Escapes. GRAND FORKS, N. Diak, May L— Young August Norman, who had worked at Koute Hillsteadt’s farm, eight miles west of Larimore, called there last night, and, finding the father of the family ab- sent, requested permission to remain all night. Mrs. Hillsteadt- demurred, be- cause she was afraid of Norman; but he insisted, and was finally taken in. Just before 1 o'clock this morning Nor- man tiptoed to Mrs. Hillsteadt’s room and asked to be admitted, saving he wanted to discuss business mat.ers. Mrs. Hillsteadt, who had been awake all night, refused to answer. Norman threat- ered to kill her and ker four children. He tried to batter down the door. Failing, he rushed upstairs to the room of Mrs. Hitle steadt’s 15-year-old son Peter and cut his throat with a razor. Returning again, he demanded ad- mission to Mrs. Hillsteadl’s room., She bad swooned away and did not hear him. He then went upstairs a second time and cut the throats of Thomas, agea 13; Adolph, aged 11, and Oscar Hillsteadt, aged 3. Adolph and Oscar are dead and the others dying. After this, Norman secured a piece of scantling and battered down the door of Mrs. Hillsteadt’s room. He assaulted her, stole a horse and disap- peared. $AN JACI 10 DISTRICT BUIT. 4ction Brought to Invalidale the Sale of Irrization Bonds.

Claims He Gazed at Her Too Long and carnestly as She Passed. Was Driving Along a Street When the Alleged Offense Was Offered. STOCKTON, CaAL, May L—A 'Dml}l driving a spirited horse reined up the ani- ma! on El Dorado street,almost in front of Belding’s dry-goods store, at 6 o’clock last evening, and addressing the command to Dr. R. Palson said in determined tones: ‘“Come here!” The physician ;uyud up to the buggy king what she desired. ”-vwfm do you mean by that?” she de- manded. * By what?” he queried. “By that,”” she replied with vim, slash- ing the physician with her whip as she spoke. The blow was aimed at his face, but it landed on his shoulder. The horse started up at the swish of the rawhide, and the doctor coolly stepping back to the sidewalk walked around the , referring, presumably, to a telegraph pole corner of Main street to his office, just as | though the unpleasant Interview had never occurred. It was all so unexpected and was over so quickly that very few people saw it. Those who chanced to be on Main street could not see 1t, for the reason that the doctor stood so closely to the buggy that the top shielded him from view, and just at that hour the street was almost deserted. There were a couple of witnesses to the affair, however. One person who saw it +aid that the woman in the buggy—Mrs. Pearson, the wife of Fire Chiaf Pearson— declared after striking the doctor, “I'll fix you!” But the lady herself says she did not use that expression. She had driven by the doctor a few minutes be- fore, accompanied by a temale compan- ion. She says that the physicisu stared at her in such a manner that it attracted the attention of her lady friend, who mentioned Lie fact, “Isn’t that awful?” she said. To use tho language of Mre. Pearson herself, it made her b ooa boil, and short'y afterward she drove back alone. Upon meeting the physician the second time she reined up her horse, as described, and ck out with her whip. ( l bad had a pistol I wou!d have shot hi remarked the lady aiterward. ‘‘When I returned home I told my hus- band of the matter, and told him that if he would go with me I would publicly borsewhip the doctor on Main street last night. D-. Bulson has been staring at me in such a way that I couid not stand it, and 1 was determined not to. He has been staring at me now ‘or a long time, and whenever he pa:ses my home he always luoh over at me in a very offens.ve man- ner. Dr. Bulson was seen by a reporter and denied vigorously that ‘the woman had struck him. When questioned the physi- cian said that she might have struck at him and he not have known it. *'She might have hit the post,’” he added, | made the leading fight against the bill, near the scene of the occurrence. Tne | doctor did not deny that sne called him up to her bugev. SAN RAFALL C ' BEMENS H iEVEST, Famous Gilligan’s Hack Proves a God- Band to the Numerou. Urirers. SAN RAFAEL, Cin, May 1.— The fame of Gilligan’s hack, in which ex-Sena- tor James G. Fair rods when he visited | 8an Rafael, is being heralded about the sireets, and on the arrival of the trains from San Franci.co the cabmen ery in thunderous voic:s that they have Gil- ligan’s hack ior hire. So great has been t e public demand for rides in the famous vehicie thai more than one Gilligan hack his come into existence, and lo! if the demand increases every Wagon or carry- allin the town will be put forward as Gil- ligan's back. When a curious person alights from a train at this place now and asks for Gilli- gan's hack, a dozen men spring forward 10 offer the ‘only genuine venicle in which Senator Fair rode when he visited San Rafael,” so with the celebrated will case dragging its weary way through a San Francisco probate court, the San Rafael cabmen are reaping a golden harvest, and to pick out Gilligan’s hack would be an undertaking fraught with almost insur. mountable difficuities. S g No Subsidy for Seattls Steamers. TACOMA, Wask.,, May 1 — Seattle's steamship line to Yokohama, the Nippon Yuesen Kaisua, which started as a Goy- ernment line and with much flourish of trumpets will be compelled to Paddle along without any Government subsidy this season. The Japanese Cabinet Min. isters who hold ‘shares in the company submitted a bill fora grant of 340,000 yen per annum as & subsidy to this line, but ~official advices received at the Japanese consulate here confirm (ng rumor that the Parliament smothered the bill in committee.
