Marsters sailed from New York March 29 on a voyage to Demarara, and returned to port yes terday afternoon in search of police assistance and the services of a sur- ‘ge0n. On the night of March 29, about sixty-six miles east of Montauk Point. Capt. McNeil came on deck to take a look at the weather, which was some- j what hazy at the time, and called to the mate to bring the fog horn. The captain had hardly stepped outside the companionway when Seaman W. Holzheur, who was at the wheel, drew a revolver from his pocket and fired five shots in rapid succession directly at the captain, every one of which took effect. One ball entered the cap- tain’s face just below the right eye; one hit him in the neck, a third in the thigh, another in the left shoulder, and the other in the arm. The captain, who was dazed by the suddenness of the attack, and the rapid firing of the revolver, fell prostrate on the deck. The mate rushed to the rescue of the master and disarmed the would- be assassin, securing him before he could do further damage. Capt. Mc- Neil’s wounds bled profusely before they could be bandaged by his wife, who was on board. Although he is very weak, none of the wounds is con- sidered dangerous. Holzheur was im- mediately put in the irons and con- fined in the lazaretto. He is a native of Germany, about twenty-nine years of age. When seen yesterday after- noon he stated that he had no recollec- tion whatever of shooting Capt. Mc- Neil, and appeared to be dazed. He was turned over to the police authori- ties of Stapleton, S. I. BLEW UP HIS HOUSE. Schmuda Hoped to Kill Himself and the Man Sent to Arrest Him. Dunkirk, N. Y., April 2 — Joe Schmuda, an Austrian, put a dyna- mite cartridge in the stove of his resi- dence on Pangolin street, this city, last night and blew himself up. Po- liceman Otto Walters was entering the house at the time with a warrant for Schmuda’s arrest. Schmuda’s in- tention was to kill himself and the Policeman. In his own case he has robably succeeded, but Policeman lters, although badly shaken up and slightly bruised, says he is all right. When the explosion occurred the policeman had his hand on the door. The next instant he found him- self on his back in the street, forty feet away. Schmuda was taken from the ruins to Police Headquarters, where a surgeon discovered that the wounded man’s body was a repository for fragments of the stove, tin uten- sils, wood and ashes of the weight of several pounds. Schmuda attempted to kill his wife and drove her from home early in the day, and the war- rant of arrest was on that account. MINERS BURIED. Deadiy Result of a Giant Powder Explesion. Prescott, Ari, April 3—One hun- dred pounds of giant powder exploded im the Ohio mine of the U. S. Mescal Mining and Milling Company late yesterday afternoon.

The miners set at work immediately to remove the rock from the drift to reach the imprisoned or buried men. Fatal Shooting. St. Louis, April 3—Charles A. Day shot George Thorn through the breast and shoulder, inflicting fatal wounds. The scene of the tragedy was in Louis A. Cella’s saloon, Twenty-first street and Washington avenue.

A British Bark Goes Ashore and Her Crew is Drowned. London, Dec. 31.—The British bark Osseo was wrecked in a gale at Holy- head yesterday morning, and with her perished her entire crew of twenty-six men. The Osseo was driven ashore back of the Holyhead breakwater. Her signals of distress were first heard by. the coast guard about 4 o’clock in the morning. At that time it was pitch dark, and great waves were washing over the breakwater. In spite of the danger of being washed into the sea, the guard proceeded along the break- water, and, having rigged up the rock- et apparatus, began firing life lines in the direction of the wreck. The faint light of the rockets soon disclosed the fact that the vessel had broken in two amidships, and that the main mast had fallen, crushing the lives out of several of the crew. A few survivors could be seen clinging to each half of the vessel, and their piteous cries for heip could be heard above the roar of the storm. After many failures the coast guard succeeded in firing a line over the wreck, but by that time all on board had perished. A lifeboat vainly tried again and again to ap- proach the wreck. Not a vestige of the bark could be seen to-day, and there is no prospect of any salvage. The Osseo was a bark of 1,399 tons. She arrived at Falmouth on December 15 from Taltal, and had been ordered to Anderson. Reports of stormy weather continue to be received from all parts of Europe. Numerous small wrecks and casualties are reported in Great Britain and Ireland. Many lives were eaved by lifeboats. A severé gale is blowing on the Baltic, and navigation is suspended at Copenhagen. PARKHURST DISSATISFIED. An Understanding Between Lexow and Supt. Byrnes. New York, Dec. 31.—In an interview with a Tribune reporter, Dr. Park- hurst was asked: “Have you an idea from reading the testimony of Supt. Byrnes that there was a previous un- derstanding between the Superinten- dent and the Lexow Committee?” He replied: “There is not the slightest doubt about it. In fact, I am free to say that I knew some time ago that there was an understanding between the committee and Mr. Byrnes. I am not prepared to say that Mr. Goff had any knowledge of it, but the under- standing involved the manner in which Mr. Byrnes was to be treated. Just what the understanding was I decline to state, but I knew that Byrnes was not to be badly damaged. I first made up my mind that there was an under- standing when I heard that Byrnes was supplying the committee with in- formation. My sentiments in regard to Mr. Byrnes are the same now as they always have been. I have been fighting Mr. Byrnes three years, and he has been fighting us, and I am firm- ly of the conviction that if I care for the safety of our organization I can- not afford to become allied with the enemy in any way, shape or manner. I look upon Supt. Byrnes as a consti- uent part of a system that is corrupt, and for that reason I do not believe it iy wise to have any dealings with m.” A Chinaman Suicides. Watertown, N. Y., Dec. 31. — Lee Ling, a Chinese, aged eighteen, who had been @ prisoner in the county jail here since November 19 on a of assault, committed suicide in his cell yesterday afternoon by hanging. On November 19 Ling entered a laundry, of. which his consin, Charles Jim, is proprietor, and demanded $200, say- ing he wanted to go back to China.

The hut he lived in contained nothing but a rough table, a few cooking utensils and about fifty volumes of French religious books. A Fire at Sing Sing. Sing Sing, N. Y., Dec. 31—Fire was discovered in the storehouse and laun- dry of Sing Sing prison yesterday morning. Although the firemen re- sponded promptly the flames had gain- ed considerable headway.
