Ki i.nr-Varrav Eicsoe From Death. I
if Postiaxd, Jle. (Special). The schooner
fusan P. Tburlow, bound from Hlllsboro,
New Brunswick, for New York, went to
pieces on Cashing Shoals about three miles
from this city, at 8 o'clock Wednesday
night. The story of the disaster became
known when the only survivor of the crew
* appeared in an exhausted condition at the
hat of a fisherman. The dead bodies of the
mate and three sailors were found on the
beach where they had been washed up during
the night.
The single survivor of the wreck was E.
Beimann. He was brought at once to this
city, and gave the following account of the
loss of the vessel:
The Thurlow, on her voyage from Hills- j
boro to New York, encountered rough
weather off the Hnino coast, and, as the
storai increased, the captain decided to
ftwtUnd Harbor for shelter. He was
I only a few miles out from Portland Harbor
when the rudder ropo parted, and tho ship
became disabled and at the mercy of the
heavy sea. The captain and crew tried to
repair the steering-gear, bat, while they
were thus engaged, the sohooner struck on
the reef. Ail three masts were carried
away by the force of the compact, one of
the topmasts striking the captain and
crushing one of his legs.
The men were-ordered to jump for their
lhres. Beimann was caught by a huge w&to
aad hurled into the sea. He was washed
?p on the beach of the island three times,
hat was unable to obtain a foothold, being
swept back by the undertow.
. He managed to get hold of one of the
spars and clung to it for a long time. Finally,
he was earned on to the beach, where
the receding waves left him safe. He lay
? there benumbed with cold and exbansf~
tad ny his battle with the waves,
if " for seme time. At length he dragged himself
to the hut of a fisherman, where he was
eAred for until morning, when he was
brought to this city and the story of the .
disaster became known. The bodies of j
State McLean and three sailors were
washed ashore on the island during the |
Slight. Hothing was left of the vessel in I
the morning. The beaoh is strewn with

WILLIAM TERRISS ASSASSINATED.
Stabbed at tbe Stage Door of the Adelphl '

London was borrlflod by tbe brutal murler
of William Terriss, tbo famous actor*
Aj he was about to enter tbe stago door
it the Adelphl Theatre, on the Strand, to
play in "Seeret Service," an American

who until three weeks before was a super
on the Adelpbi stage, plunged a long,
sharp butcher knife into Terriss's back between
the shoulder blades, penetrating the
lungs And heart. Ho loft tbe weapon
sticking in the wound.
As the unfortunate man tottered through
the stage door and fell to the floor the
murderer stood coolly by. He said nothing,
and made no resistance when taken
into custody by the janitor, who at the
same time shouted for assistance.
Mr. Terriss merely ejaoulated: "Who
did this? He has killed me!" Then he became
unconscious, and before a doctor or
other aid was at hand he died.

A TEMPERANCE COLUMN
THE DRINK EVIL MADE MANIFEST
IN MANY WAYS.
Til* Prevent Need A Kishop's Opinion on
the Temperance Qnotion Advocates
of Total Abstinence Have the Kespect
of All Classes Kvils of Drunkenness.
At a recent meeting of the Catholic Total
Abstiuence Union of Philadelphia, Bishop
Prendergast made an addret&s to the delegates,
in which be said:
"Wo have active members, honorary
members, and what might be called sympathetic
members. For some reason, hard
for you to understand, these will not work
and give their names to your cause. This
may be inconsistent, and wo may say that
they are not doing all they could do, but
one of the beet efTeets of the work of the
total obslinence societies is the change
they have brought about in publio opinion
regarding the use of intoxicating liquor.
"It used to be an evidenee of crankiness
for one to be a total abstainer. Now you
bare the respect and sympathy of aii
classes. I would remind you that the
fathers of the Council of Baltimore, in urging
upon Catholics to unite in extirpating
the pestiferous evil of drunkenness, urged
Sriee ts and people to do so for love of region
and for lore of country, two of the
highest motives to be proposed to any
right-minded man or woman. Drunkenness
not oniy destroys religion in its victim,
but brings disgrace on religion itself.
It was one of the objections in the past
(and, unfortunately, there is some of it
left) urged against Catholics. It is aa evil
against the country. It destroys the citizen
and the family. For love of religion
and for love of country the Council of Baltimore
urges priests and people to unite in
extirpating this evil."
xoe SIBBOp WBBieU IUM UN lUIUlg uiu- i
tive for work most be supernatural tbe I
salvation of souls. The material good re- I
suiting from total abstinence was not to be
despised, but the chief aim should be to i
preserve souls from sin. He spoke of the |
great good that may be aooomplished by j
extra endeavor in the enrolment of juveniles,
and assured his hearers that ho j
would continue, when giving confirmation,
to advise and nrge the children to Join the
tempesanee societies in their parishes. riTwas
brtWk.--Go
to the insane asylums, poorbouses, j
prisons, orphanages, and ask what brought
the inmates there. Many, alas, too many,
will tell you that it was drink. Men and
women endowed with the noblest gifts,
capable of doing much good, are hardens
to themselves, their families, and the community.
Some have lost the use of their
minds, others their property, others have
broken np their families or condemned
them to a life of misery and shame;, all
of thejn&re damning their immortal souls.

If so, then the only moderation possible

is total abstinence.
