Halifax, N. 8., J'tdy 19.?News was |
received by mail today or tho wreck of
tbe schooner Pubnico Belle on the New
foundland coast on July 9. Two women
and five ehilderu went down with tho
vessel. The vessel, which was com
manded by Capt. Butts, left Catalina on
the 8th inst. for fit. John's with a cargo
cf lumber. .She had, besides the captain,
a crew of four men and ten passengers,
live of whom were women and as many
Children.
The vessel encountered fair wealher
until 11:30 o'clock that night, when a
sudden storm arose, which continued
until daylight the next morning. The
vessel loat noth her main and forsails
and was driven ashore on the cliff at
about 2:30 on the morning of the 9th.
One of tbe crow got ashore with a rope,
and by this means the rest of the crew
dnd three of the women were saved.
Mrs. Freemau and Miss Carolina Hlg
gin8 were drowned, and also live child
ren wore lost. One was an infant of
Mrs. Freeman, three were children of
Mrs. Kachel Burton (who was saved)
and the other was a girl named AUcu
Hicks. Those saved were Mrs. Rachel
Surton, Miss Julia Burton and Miss Se
na Wells. ^
Miss Seliua Wells says all the crew
except the captain wont ashore first.
While the latter, Was assisting Mrs.
Burton to land, a heavy sea washed all
tho rest of the women and children
overboard. She, Mrs. Burton and Miss
Burton were washed ashore, but noth
ing was afterwards seen of any of the
others. Those saved walked hdand for
some dlbtinco until they came to the
house of a fisherman,* where they wero
cared for.
Mrs. Burton says that but tor cow
ardice of the crew all would have been
saved. As soon as the rope was got
ashore those "heroes" went ashore and
left the captain to take oare of ten
women ana children. He did the best
he could, unassisted, and did not desert
them until they were all washed over
board. Mrs. Burton says that two lit tle
Uoys, one of whom was her son, were
seen after she got ashore, and their
voices coula be heard calling for help.
Beyond trying to reach them l>y throw
ing a rope tho crew did nothing, and
the agonized mother was forced to
watch her boy go to death without be
ing able to raise a hand tg help.them.
The galleut little fellows clung on quite
a while but the highs eoss Anally had
their effect and they were washed off
aad their voices stilled in death.
Mrs. Freeman, one of the lost, was
the wife of William Freeman, now in
Victoria, B. C. Mrs. Burton and i*or
whole family were on their way to St.
John's to take passage lor New York,
where her husband is.
Capt. Butts confirms the story of the
women, thctv his crew , jumped ashore
at tho lirst chance, and left the helpless
jpaasengers to their fate.

NSTANT'S WARNING.
UuUdfnjt Blown Uuwu by n
rum. Mum, July 10. -During a
severe u'orm this afternoon an unfln
lahed^hree.-story hotel at West Superior
was bio vn aowu.
When the storm came up Boss Car
penter Cross called to bis men who were
working on the building to get out of
the building, and twelve of them jumped
from the windows. At the same mo
ment a number of passers-by ran into
iructure to escape the storm. As
they entered the building, without an
Instant's warning, it collapsed, burying
seventeen men. Tho structure did not
uiov?? a loot from its foundation. It
simpiv flattened out as though by a
terrible blow from above. Three tiu-.J
ners on the roof stayed where tlw<r
were and escaped serious ipjury, though
the fall was tuirty<?M0Ffeet. ./
Hundreds saw tho catastrophe, and
the work of fescue begau at once. The
ruins stood not six feet above the
ground, and the roof seemed to coyer
the whole, greatly retarding the work
of rescue. ,
11 ermann l'aussey was first recovered.
He was found in a sitting position, bent
nearly double, with spikes driven into
his spine and almost every bone in his
body broken.
John Laur was found on his back,
with four timbers lying across him,
cutting his body into as many pieces.
It was a horrible sight, and the over
work d rescuers sickened in removing
the body.
John Schofleld was found in what
evidently had been a room on tho third
Uoor, and was still alive, though he died |
as soon as the weight was removed
from him, his back being broken.
The bodies of Charles Lucius and an
. unknown man, evidently one of those
who took shelter in the ill-fated build
ing, were found in a room on the ground
Hour. Both bodies were flattened out
of all resemblance to humanity.
While the work of rescue had been
going on, raiu and lightning, with high
wind, had set in, and the violence of
the storm became territlc, forcing the
men to leave work, which has now
been resumed. It is probable that all
the bodies will be recovered before
morning.
In addition to the list of killed, live
others are unaccouuted for and are be
lieved to have been killed.
At East Superior a dwelling was
struck by lightning and its inmates
severely injured. The storm was the
most severe rain and wind storm that
hav yi?ited this section of the country
lb many months.
Stay lug Away from Church.
Mr. BurdottOt-though not a preacher
by profession, does somo good exhort
ing. Not long sinco he gave some
reasons why men do not go to church,
and did it so well we give it after his
fashion:
So you are not going t? church this
morning, my son ? Ah, yes, I see?the
music is not good. That's a pity; that's
what wo go to church for, to hear t ^e
music And the less we pay tho better
music we demand.
And the pews are not comfortable.
That's too bad; the Sabbath i3 a day of
rest, and wo go to church for repose.
The less work we do during tho week
the more rest we clamor lor on Sunday.
The church is far away, it's too far
to walk, and you detest riding in
street car, and they're always crowded
on Sunday. This is indeed distressing.
Sometimes whep 1 think how much
farther away heaven is than tho church,
and that there are no conveyances of
the road of auy description, I wonder
now some of us are going to get there.
a rr-nd the sermon is so long always.
ah nusio oafngsf are indeed to be re
gretted. I would regret them more
sincerely my boy, did I not know in a
few weeks after the frost ts out of the
ground you will squeeze into a stuffy
street-car with a hundred other men,
breathing incense of whiskey, beer and ,
tobacco, and hong on to straps by your
eyelids for two miles then pay fifty
cents for tho privilege olSaitling qq.?yV
routrh plank \i\ tho.?' onrtllng sun tor two
hours ley .5r, while: in tho intervals of
q ? ecratchUmid will blow dis
, thunder out bf a dozen misfit
|ip?igtit lu your very oars, and come
mo to talk/the rest of tho family into
a state or f&ural paralysis about the
dandiest gtfrrtc.s you ever saw played on
thom grounds.
Oii*vlay/preaohor does not appear to
bo sattajica wich reasons of tins kind.
SO far t'ro'bi it, he is of tho opinion that
tltey^jiiujies, all so much lying, led
thereto bytho father of lies, the devil
himself. For he goes on to remark
(ids sermon not quite ended:)
Ah, my tioy, you see what staying
away iro'm church does! It develops
a habit of lying! There isn't one man
in a hundred who would go on the
.witness stai d and give under oath tho
same roasorv for not going to church
'that he gives his family every Sunday
>" ">r;;lng. My son, if you don't think
yotj ought to go, you wouldn't make
any excuse for not going. No man
apologizes for doing right.
There is-oaeYnndbut one, reason why
people do not attend church?they do
not like Uod or the worship of Cod.
What will such peoplo do when they
get to heaven ?
As It Should lie.
