Half Frozen, the Men Bent to the Pumps, but to No Avail, and the Ship Became a Floating Iceberg—Cap tain Fires the Boat. New York, Feb. 8.—The Identity of the burning schooner, a torch upon the ! great highway of the Atlantic, sight ed by the St. Paul off the Banks was made known yesterday when the At lantic Transport liner Me sab a, from London, brought into port Captain Wil liam Fitzgerald and his crew of seven, of the schooner Amanda, from St. 1 jhn’s, N. F., for Bahia. They were rescued by the Mesaba at a time when their sinking vessel had less than 24 hours of life left in her. The Amanda, a three-master, had sailed in rough weather from St. John’s on Jan. 24 with a cargo of salt fish. She into ice and sprung a leak. The temperature was 10 degrees be low zero. She had put on a heavy coat of ice and was constantly adding to it. In spite of unceasing labor at the pumps the water in the hold kept gain ing. The coating of ice kept thick ening; the ship was becoming a float ing iceberg and settling deep. In spite of unceasing labor at the pumps the water in the hold kept gain ing.

S ill the schoon er settled . On the afternoon of Feb. 1, Second Mate and Boatswain James McCarthy sighted the smoke of the Mesaba on the lee bow, 4!£ miles away. The Mesala had sighted them first, had slightly altered her course and came to the rescue, sending out a lifeboat. The eight men watched their chances as the boat rose and fell. They were so nearly frozen they could hardly stand, but one by one they jumped into the arms of the rescuers safely, with the exception of Patrick Wree the cook. He was nearly across the deck on his way to the rail when a heavy set struck the schooner, knock ing him down and throwing him up against the rail, cutting his head an injuring him internally. The doctor gave the first nld. Captain Fitzgerald, before leaping, the last to abandon her, set his ves sel on fire In order to free the pat.. of navigation of a menace.

Husband of Murdered Wife Identifies Old Lover as Slayer. Pittsburg. Feb. 8.—“He killed her! He killed her! That’s the fellow. He gave me back her i»ocketbook in the dark, too.” John A. Kirkpatrick, almost crazed with grief and anger, this morning made these remarks in the Allegheny police station when told of the ap pearance of Norman H. Geyser, who was arrested for the murder of the beautiful young Mrs. Kirkpatrick last Saturday evening. Her body was found frozen stiff 14 hours later in a vacant lot. “I know he killed her,” continued Kirkpatrick, frantically, as he tried to get at the prisoner. “He has threat ened to kill her because she would have nothing to do with him. Let m at him!” Kirkpatrick wandered through the streets of the town last night, and this morning appeared haggard and wild looking at the cell room doors of the police station to know if any arrests had been made. This was the first intimation he had that Geyser had been taken in by the authorities. Geyser, whose father is connected with the city lire department and is strong in politics, said later he had met Mrs. Kirkpatrick on the street about 7:30 o’clock Saturday evening and had talked with her a few min utes. He had not seen her again. Asked where he had spent the rest of the evening, he said, “in a saloon up town.” The body of the murdered woman was viewed in an undertaker’s shop by many hundred shop girls, who had known Mattie Shook and had admired her beauty before she became Mrs. Kirkpatrick.

Chicago, Feb. 8.—Angered at the au dacity of Helen Doctores, a young wo man whom she accuses of stealing the affections of a married man to the dis tress of his family, Miss Minnie Ja cobs attempted to make up for the inadequacy of the law by chastising her In front of the county jail. She seized the woman by the arms and shook her violently.

Btrect Cars Stopped; City in Darkness; Telephone and Telegraph Lines Out of Commission—Railroad Trains Are Running On Schedule Time. Atlanta, Feb. 8.—Forecaster Mar- bury is unable to announce with any degree of accuracy what the weather i will do, as during the morning he has received no advices except one from Washington, D. €., which says that rain may be looked for Wednesday night, with probably warmer weather. The conditions from the surrounding territory being wanting, the forecaster hesitates to predict what Atlanta may I expect. It may be stated, however, that he does not, so far as he can judge from local conditions, look for any serious fall of the mercury within the next 24 hours. A feature of the present unusual lo cal condition is the fact that Atlanta has suffered more from the absence of information than any of its sister cit ies. Augusta, Memphis, Savannah and other southern points have received their weather reports with but slight interruption, while Atlanta received none on Monday, and next to none up to 11 o’clock Wednesday morning. This shows that the storm of sleet and ice , in and around Atlanta has probably been the worst in the south. Freezing weather, coupled with a steady downpour cf rain, followed closely upon the heels of the recent heavy sleet storm, has placed Atlanta in another had plight. The conditions ; that confronted the people Wednes day morning, when they awoke from their slumbers, were almost as bad as | those of Monday. Trolley cars stopped, telephones dis abled and old mother earth wearing a heavy coat of ice, making walking unpleasant and unsafe, was the state of affairs, and, in addition, a steady rain was failing. As the water struck the ground and spattered about much of it was immediately converted into ease ice, replenishing the sleet, which yes- ! j terday, under the rays of the sun, gave way to slush and water. The rain froze hard on telephone, telegraph and trolley wires, while the shade trees all over the city were la den almost to the breaking points with ice. Indeed, in a number otf places the trees gave way to the heavy load, and many limbs were broken, falling to the ground. The indications Tuesday were that Atlanta would soon be free from the reign of the Ice King, and that condi- All Ilia ICkkm In One Banket. Goodman Gonrong—We don’t git nothin’ at that bouse.

Startling But True. People the world over were horrified on learning of the burning of a Chi cago theatre in which nearly six hun dred people lost their lives, yet more than five times this number, or over 3.000 people, died from pneumonia in Chicago during the same year, with scarcely a passing notice. Every one of these cases of pneumonia resulted from a cold and could have been pre vented by the timely use of Chamber lain’s Cough Remedy. A great many who had every reason to fear pneumo nia have warded it off by the prompt use of this remedy. The following is an instance of this sort: “Too much cannot be said in favor of Chamber lain's Cough Remedy, and especially for colds and influenza.

Savannah, Ga., Feb. 8.—After having boon two days in the custody of the .police, Miss Pauline Poffenberger, of Newark, Del., aged 17, and George Bond, of Dover, Del., aged 18, were married by Rev. Charles H. Strong, rector of St. John church. The release of the young couple vvas secured this afternoon upon ha beas corpus proceedings instituted by Judge H. D. D.

Waycross, Ga., Feb. 8.—The little town of Pearson, on the Brunswick and Western railroad, was thrown into the wildest state of excitement Tuesday morning by the discovery of the mysterious murder of Mrs. Mary Smith, an aged white woman. Mrs. Smith resided on the outskft-ts of the town with her little 10-year- old granddaughter. This morning the screams of the child attracted the attention of the neighbors, and upon investigation the dead body of the woman was found in the house with her throat cut from ear to car. The child could give not information about the killing. She had only dis covered her grandmother’s body a few moments before the neighbors arrived. There is every reason to believe that the womn was murdered, though no one has so far been connected with the crime. Bloodhounds were brought out, but failed to strike any trail. Business was at a standstill and everyone has been lending assistance in looking for clews to the killing. growing warmer, and the sleet was melting and flowing away in the sew- err. Rejoicing was general. Every one, even the children, had had enough of the sleet storm, and as conditions changed for the better, business in the city took on new life. About 7:30 it began to rain, not very hard, but just hard enough to thor oughly wot the ground. At first the fall was light and the impression was that it would soon hold up, hut as time wore on, seconds became minutes and minutes became hours, the rain increased and the temperature began to fall, not very fast, but quite enough for it to be noticeable. course she only takes it now when anything disagrees with her.” Sold by Cherokee Drug Co., Gaffney; L.
