Mr, Wajrstaff'n Opinion as to the Bill Affecting tho Mriiljro Trustees, Colonel Alfred Wagstaff, president; of tho bridge trustees, whou askd this morning for his opinion of Mayor Boody's bill introduced at Albany, providing for the reduction of the number of bridge trustees said: "I don't know anythiug abont the measuro ex oept what has appeared in the newspapers. I hr.vo not consnlied with anyone about it." "Do you think it would be wall to change the organization of the board as tho bill provides';" asked the reporter.

"In my opinion the administration of midge affairs is conducted as smoothly and well as it iB possible almost with such a big machine to run as the bridge is. I supposo tho presidency is really the objective point of the measure. Brooklyn waota that, of course It really doeB not make much difference whether the trustees are few or many. I do not see very well how the bill can pass." GROOMS DAY. The Bowen Wentworth Wedding To morrow.

Chicago, 111., January 27. The ooroner is investigating to day the death of Clement R. Bradloy, a young Englishman, who reooutly came hero from Brooklyn, N. where he has a sister, Mrs. Haigh of 300 Oreene avenue.

Yosterday ovening Bradley was found lying in front of 40 West Madison street, nnconscious. Whethor he slipped and fell, or whether he was kuooked down for some purpose by members of the unsavory gang that infests that neighborhood, may never bo known, for when Bradloy was found ho oould not apeak a word and two hours later be died at tho aounty hospital without throwing any light on the matter. Tho EngliMhroan appears to havo been a wild, dissipated sort of fellow, for on Docouibei' 2 he waB admitted to tho Washingtonian home, are sort for the cure ot drunkards. Several days ago he loft the institution and took a room on West Madison street. His mother lives in England and a brother is in business in Exeter, N.

H. While at the home he reooived letters and money from Mrs. Haigh of Brooklyn, who he said wbh his sister. Yosterday morning he called at the WaBhingtonian home and waB given a letter from her containing money. Mrs.

Haigh wus notified of Bradley's death last evening and sho telegraphed back for the hospital authorities to await further orders aa to the disposition of the remains. His father, she said, will provide a burial. FELL READ IN THE STREET. Sad News for the Watting; Bride STounc John Compton. of John Comptou, 21 years old, of 181 Eagle street, was hastening homo from his work just after 6 o'clock last ovening, knowing that hie young wife, whose honeymoon waa not yet over, was anxiously waiting to meet and groet him.

At the corner of Oakland and Freeman streets he stopped suddenly, placed his hand to his heart, looked at some passersby in an imploring way as if seeking their assistiwice, and before they could offer it staggered forward a few steps and fell. A moment later he was dead. An ambulance snr. geon who was summoned pronounced the case one of heart disease, and the news was broken by some friends as gently aB possible to the waiting bride. Compton was a young man highly esteemed in his neighborhood and only a fewhourB before his death had been receiving some hearty congratulations on his recent wedding.

SOLD OUT THE SHERIFF. Sheriff Darling sold the stock and farming implements on the Knickerbocker stock farm, near Huntiuton, yesterday. F. P. Jordan was tho ostensible proprietor, although the which was purchased of tho late James A.

Van Brnnt, is in his sistor's name. It waB an unpaid note of held by the Van Brunt estate which caused the trouble. The Jordana are Brooklyn people aud they moved out to the farm but a year ago. THEY DON'T PAY $100,000 Taxes on Personal Property for 1890 Still Due. Some of the Men Whom the New Plan for Collecting These Arrears by Simple Suit Will Hit, if It Becomes the Law.

Interesting Transcripts From the Keg istrar's Books. The little ameudment to the city charter regulating tho taxation of personal property whioh Mayor Boody's cabinet prepared yesterday, is a very innocent looking thing in itself, but if it passes the legislature there will be a mighty squirming among the rich men of this town aud some that aren't so rich. There standu on the books of the arrears department between $00,000 and $100,000 of taxes assessed against personal property in the city in 1800 and still unpaid. The taxation of personal property is highly unpopular; indeed, odious would not he too Btrong a word to express tho sentiments of most men blessed with so many stocks and bonds that tho assessors take cognizance of them, and men of tho highest character and most scrupulous promptness in all other financial matters decline to pay taxes their personal property until they are forced to. The public sentiment supports them in this course so far at least that they do not lose Hocial caste or business standing by their refuBaL Now, there is no adequate machinery to force the payment of these arrears.

If the nw amendment to the charter is adopted tho registrar may sue the delinquents in any court of record and collect bis judgment. There are more rich men in the First ward than in any other of the city, and the total arrearages of taxes on personal property in that ward for 1800 is $14,875. A reporter of the liAOLE to day compiled a liat of the men in that ward assessed for $3,000 or over of personal property. Hero it is, and a perusal of it will show the class of men throughout the city who may be sued by the registrar if the new amendment is adopted. John M.

THE NEW RULES Are Not Relished by the Repub lican State Senators.

They Object to the Contempt Clause and Forget Party Precedent The Assembly Passes a Bill Admitting Reporters to Electrical Executions The Tabernacle Taxes Other Local Measures. Special to the Eagle. Albany, N. Jauuary27. The report of the committee on rules was the special order in the senate to day and it provoked an interesting debate Objections were made to the proposed amendments to rules No.

14 and No. 47. Tho first amendment provided that if any senator present refuded to vote, unless he was excused by the senate or was directly inter ested iu the question, such refusal should be deemed a contempt and until purged, all privileges of membership should be refused to the person or persons so offending. Rule No. 47 is amended so that a majority of the senators piesont may decide to go into the consideration of executive business.

At present a vote of a majority of the senators elected is re quired before executive buBiuess can be considered. The rule is furthor amended 60 that all nomi nations sent by the governor for appointment to office shall be referred to any standing commit tee, instead of the committee which oousidere the business which the officers are appointed to perform. Senator Oantor moved that tho proposed amendments be adopted, but Senator Saxton objected. Well, it makes no difforunoe whether we adopt them now or later on," remarked the Democratic leader. Senator Saxton said that tho amendment to rule No.

14 indicated that the majority was try ing to find 'some authority for its action in punishing three Republican sonators for eon tempt. He maintained that the rule was unneces sary, as the statutes proviuen mat a senator could be imprisoned for disorderly behavior. If there was any disorderly behavior, the conrtB would punish the guilty senators. The purpose of the change in rule No. 47 was to permit the Bon ate, by a majority of a qnorum, to confirm nom inations.

He did not believe that this change was constitutional, as that document provided that the governor should make appointments with the assistance and advice of the senate, and he did not think that nine members, a majority of a quorum, could be oalled the seuato. Senator Cantor said that there was no inten tiou to pass an ex post faoto rule. The change in rule No. 14 made that rulo similar to the corresponding assembly rulo, which was drawn by General Hustod and recommended by Senator Saxton, when the latter was iu the lower house. Senator McClelland said that If anyconfea sion of error had been maae, no wanted to dissent from it.

There had been no confession. Rule 14 had been amendod for the benefit and satisfaction of tho minority, who thought that the seuato had uo power to punish for con tempt. Senator Cantor remarked that he was not at all surprised that the Republicans were opposed to tho change in Rulo 47. Thoy had exer cinfiri riTlrnnie deliberation in confirmiiiL' nor" nations. Governor Hill had not been able to get ocnator Saxton moved that the objectionable ameudment be stricken from the report, but tho amendment was lost.

Then the report was adopted with the exception of tho proposed change in the forty seventh rule, which was laid over before the vote was taken. Senator Rocsch called attention to the action of the Republican senate in 1882 iu punishiag Senator John C. Jacobs for contempt bocause he refused to vote. The time of the asBembly was maiuly taken up with the consideration of Troy bills. Assemblyman Shields, however, introduced the bill, making tho process servers iu the district attorney' office county detoetivos, and Assemblyman Con rady offered a bill reducing the fare on the Thirty ninth stroet ferry to 2 cents aud compelling the ferry to run boats all night.

He also introduced the Tabernacle tax bill. A bill to establish the Adirondack park was in troduced by Assemblyman Ryan of Westchester. It provides that a state park shall be maintained within the oonnties of Hamilton, Herkimer, St. Lawrence, Franklin, Essex and Warren, aud directs the forest commission to purchase lands in thouo counties at a prico not greater than $1.50 an acre. The assembly has passed Mr.

Green's bill al lowing nowspaper representatives to witness executions by electricity. The governor to day appointed Charles W. Gordon, coroner of Suffolk county, resident on Fisher's island, in the place of Alfred J. Hol brook, who was elected last November but failed to qualify. HOW HIS SKULL WAS FRACTURED.

Threats of Trolley Legislation Laughed At. President Lewis Says That the Compauics Are Protected by Triple Authorization. General Sloeum's Road Yesterday Commenced Work Despite the Frost. The surface railroad companies have now been authorized by every possible authority to chaHge their motive power from horses to trolley. All that stands in their way are the threatened injunction suits.

In srae quarters, usually well informed, the idea exists that there is more in the talk of litigation than appears on the surface. One local broker says, aid claims to have reoeived his information from good authority, that an attempt will be made to attack the constitutionality of the law giving the state board of railroad commissioners authority to permit a change of motive power. Mr. Daniel F. Lewis, president of tho Brooklyn city railroad cempany, to day said: "It's all wind, all talk, with nothing behind it.

Wo are protected on all sides. We have received perraissiou to go ahead from the state authori ties from the looal authorities and from the property owners. How are they going to attack us I hear that an attempt will be made to attack the law under whioh tho state board gave ns permission. In the first place, I don't think that it will succeed, for the same thing was tried in New York and the court of appeals sustained the constitutionality and validity of the law. But even if tne law should be declared unconstitutional what good would it do If the state board has no authority in the matter the board of aldermen certainly has and we have its permission nlo.

You see that we are amply protected on all sides." Mr. Lewis said that before giving out any large and general contracts he andE. W. Bliss would take a trip to all large manufactories of trolley machinery to examine the various patents and patterns. Until they returned, in the middle of February, nothing would be done exoept to increase the oapaoity of tho present power station on Second avenue.

H. M. Thompson, secretary of the company, returned from Albany last night bringing with him a copy of the decision of the state board. He felt pardonably proud of the ease with which be had defeated all opposition up there. In the course of conversation with the reporter he mentioned one interesting and siinificant faot.

It was that, excluding city property, such as public buildings, squares and parkB, he had filed consents amounting to nearly $7,000,000 more than a majority value of the property through which his company's roads passed. The other railroad companies do not seem afraid of injunctions or of any legal opposition which may stand iu the way of the trolley. Yesterday a gang of men were sent out by the Coney Island and Brooklyn railroad company (General Sloeum's road) to place trolley poleB. They battled unsuccessfully with the frost, however, aud were compelled to desist by the hardness of the gronnd. General Sloeum's intention is to install the system gradually and, as it is completed mile by mile, to run the cars which in the summer he uses on the Coney Island road.

to The Gelid Wave Which Extends All Orer the Land Has a Silver Lining iu the Northwest Last Winter's Record Brokeu The Outlook. This is the coldest day of tho winter. At 8 o'oloek this morning thermometers registered 8 degrees above zero. This was 0110 degree lower than the coldest day of last winter, whioh was March 2. It was still eol Jar to the north and eas of Brooklyn.

Citizens of Albany wero shivering in a temperature of below zero. Northfield, was too cool to be comfortable with thermometers which registered 4 degrees below zero. At Montreal the mercury was shoved clear down to 10 below and Rockliffe, Canada, enjoyod the unpleasant distinction of being the coldest place within the jurisdiction of the United StateB weather bureau, with a temperature of 14 degrees below zero. Local Forecast Officer Dunn eat in his comfortable office this morning apparently trying to feign inuoconco and condone his qffjvtgf all, making believe it was not coat. He said for he wore had reached its lowest point A'hi's viciuity and it would now gradually grow warmer, although the temperature would remain below freezing point to day and to morrow.

The weather will continue to grow warmer Friday and Saturday and about Sunday, if no nnfor seou circumstances arise, it will be quite pleas ant. To day the temperature has been below the freezing point throughout tho entire country as far Boutb aB Georgia and Alabama. The cold wave has a silver lining up in the Northwest, where it is becoming decidedly warmer. Iu that region the temperature has gone up from 10 to 25 degrees. At 11 o'elock it was above the freezing point at Helena.

and Fort As inibotne, Mou. With oharaoteristio pervorseness it was warmer in Montana than in Alabama. Galea have beeu prevailed all along the midatlantio and New England coast, blowing off shore with velocities ranging from thirty to sixty four miles an hour. The weather is generally clear over tho entire country. The forecasts are fair weather to day and to morrow.

Tho chilling blasts which have been piercing the chinchilla aud sealskin armor of pedestrians will probably crease in force to night. At 11:30 the mercury in local thermometers was becoming more rational, having reached the vicinity of 15 degrees above zero. The disconsolate plumber was decidedly chipper to day for water pipes were frozen up iu many private residences. The Long Island water mains at Jamaica froze up and burst and there was no water for engiuee. In the rural districts chickens were frozen in their roosts anil many persons whe were compelled to remain out of doors were frost bitten.

At about 10 o'clock tho ferry boat Central of the New Jersey central railroad company was detained half an hour by an ioe blockade. The tug boat Dataware of tho Penusylvania railroad company released a float sho was towing and went to tho assistance of the Central. A hawser was attached aud the Central pushed iuto her slip. The ice was not thick enough for Bkating in Prospect park and many urchins who oame there during tho day wero disappointed. The big.bridgo promeuade was almost deserted this morning.

The few pedestrians who hurried aoross it appeared decidedly uncomfortable, for it was, without doubt, the coldest thoroughfare in the city. THE REPORTERS' NOTE BOOK.

A GOOD ARREST Made by Detective Delahanty for Inspector Byrnes. This Prisoner is" Said to Hare Stolen a Horse, Passed Bogus Checks and Tried to Kill Mis Wife. Detective Sergeant Delahanty of the Fourth preoinot, and Detective Sergeant Murphy of Inspector Byrnes' New York headquarters staff, brought an interesting prisoner before Superintendent Campbell this morning in the person of James Wilson, alias.Thomas Walker. The man in custody was arrested on Monday laBt at the corner of Grand and DeKalb avenues on a charge of intoxioatieu. Deteetive Delehanty had suspicions of the man and queBtlon'ed him at the etation.

The accused gave his name as Thomas Walker, aged 35, no occupation, and said hia home was on West Twenty second street, but would not give the nnmbor. Tho de tective.upon searching him, found Walker's pook ets crammed with blank chocks on various Brooklyn and New York banks. When sober on Tuesday morning tho prisoner was asked why ho carried so many cheek blanks with him, but he positively refined to give any explanation of the matter. Juetico Connolly committed the prufoaer to jail until Friday morning in order to give Deteotive Delehanty more time to make an Investigation. He haB learned that Walker, whoso real name proved to be Wilson, was the person over whose extradition to Connecticut on a charge of horse stealing Bouie time ago, waB the occasion of strained relations between Governor Hill of this atate and Acting Governor Bulkley of Connecticut.

Wilson had been arrested in this state for the larceny of a horse and wagon in Connecticut and Governor Hill refused to recognize Governor Bulkley's requisition papers. The result was that Wilson secured his freedom. He returned to his home in New York city and about three weeks ago attompted to Bhoot his wife. He fired two Bhots from a revolver at her, but luckily for her neither took ef feot. Mrs.

Wilson, who is a remarkably pretty young brunette and childless, olaims that the quarrel which precipitated the assault arose because she refused to comply with a base proposition by which he sought to profit by her immorality. Before the warrant for attempted murder oould bo served on him the htuband fled. Sinoe then Iuspeotor ByrneB' men have been looking for him. Within the past two weeks the police of New York city have found additional reason to add to their anxiety to place Wilson bohind bolts aud bars. It is alleged that he has beeu swindling New York merchants by means of forged oheoks on banks this and the sister city.

When Detective Delahanty learned all this about the prisoner ho communicated through Superintendent Campbell with Inspector Byrnes. Wilson says he came to Brooklyn in order to find his wife, whom he had reason to believe waa living al 320 DeKalb avenue. Wilson was taken from Raymond street jail today and after a talk with Superintendent Campbell was seat over to New York city in Deteotive Sergeant Murphy's cuatedy. Mr. Campbell considers tho arrest a most creditable one, made by one of tho mo3t wide awake officers on tho local detective force.

TOOK JUSTICH WALSH'S ABViCE. Mr. Chapman Wants 53 cr Hiisbaml'a Sanity Determined. Mrs. Hawley Chapman called at the Adams streot court this morning and had a long talk with Justice Walsh.

Acting upon his advice, she afterward visited the charitioR commissioners' office, on Elm place, and to Clerk Short entered a formal oomplaint against her husband. She explained that sho wanted to send him to a private asylum. In such caBea it is not customary for the department to act, but as the request was made at the suggestion of Jnatioo Walsh an examination as to Chspman's sanity wiii be made by Dr. O'Contiell and Metcaif. Chapman, who is now in Raymond street jail, was very quiat last night and is giving tho officials there no trouble.

He will be bronght iuto court on Friday. Drs. O'Coimell and Metcaif visited the jail this afternoon and made an examination into Chapman's mental condition. Dr. O'Connell said: ''We are not prepared as yet to Bay the man is insane." HEANEY'S HOME.

A Well Kno wn Political Figure on the Move. The Alderman to Leave the Third for the Sixth Ward and Resign From the Democratic General Committee New Headquarters for Willoughby Street. Tho moving spirit has overtaken Alderman Arthur J. Heaney. For nearly twenty years Miv Hoaney has been a resident of the Third ward His modest dwelling on Atlantic avenue, near Court street, is one of the landmarks of that section of the city.

For the past sixteen years Mr. Hoanoy has been a member of the Democratic general committee and has taken a prominent part iu the polities of his ward. His independence is so strong that the boys sometimes call him a kicker and he is ready to admit the truth of the charge. Mr. Heaney is a man who thinks for himself.

He is a sturdy, uncom promisiiig Democrat, but when party affaiiB are not run according to hia idcaa ef right ho does not hesitate to say so. Now the alderman is about to move from the Third ward. Although possessed of considerable means, he will not follow the examplo of his former colleague, John McCarty, and set up his home on the aristocratic park slopo or even venture so near that delectable region as hiB friend George Sterling, who has an elegant house on Park place. Mr. Heaney has purchased aenjij; stantial dwelling at 170 Amity his Sixth ward, and wi' he kll0Wl) ne is eacriflce by this step, but lie is acting in deference to the wishes of his family and is willing to give up everything for them.

His removal will necessitate his resignation from tho general committos and from the Third ward but the chauces are tliat bo will in due time become equally aotivo in the politics of the Sixth "ward. Mr. Heaney is a great admirer of Hugh McLaughlin. Another prominent political figure will soon bo on the move. It is given out that 1 homes A.

Kerrigan, tho Seventh ward Democratic leader and well known auetionoor, will change his headquarters from 13 to 9 Willoughby street. Of course, Hugh McLaughlin will go with him, for the veteran leader in as much identified with Kerrigan's as the gallant colonel himself. The auction room, whether at the old stand, 35 Wil loughby street, or at 13, has been the Mojca of the Democratic politicians hereabouts and con spicuous party men trom uinereut, sections ui the country, and men or prominence in otner walks of life have often called there to confer with the head of tho organization. Colonel lier igan will take possession of 0 Willoughby street ou May 1. SUPER TTSSRS' C0J1JHTTEES FOR .1892.

MeKane's Position DeBited What Other Democratic Leaders Say Regard fiiff the Action of the State Committee. That a pleasant understanding between the local leaders and those who control Democratic politics in tho state exists is apparent from the general tenor of their conversation regarding the action of the state committee, both as to the selection of the date and the location decided on. "Had you any objection to an early eon ven tionr' ex Register Hugh McLaughlin was asked to day. "Oh, I don't think the question was considered at all," ha answered. "But is it not unusual to hold a convention so early In the year?" continued the reporter.

"I don't see that much objeotien can be made in that direction," was the ex register's response. "I attended a national convention in 1800 at Charlestowu, and I guees it was a couple of months earlier than tha Democratic party holdB itscotiventioH now. What has the time or place to with the wishes of the Democratic votersr They are the people to be considered." "Are you a candidate for a place on tho delegation of four to the national onnvention that will he designated by the state committee?" queried the reporter. "I never was much of a candidate for anything," was Mr. McLaughlin's reply.

"But would you accept tho offioe if it wore tendered?" continued the reporter. "Well, I think Brooklyn ought to have something. But you must romombor that this does not mean that I am a candidate. There are able men in the Democracy of this county." "What are your personal preferences as between Senator Hill and ex President Olevoland for the presidency." "That is a questiou I will not answer. I have always found in my politioal experience that disagreements are disagreeable." Sturdy John Y.

McKani, with a big nlster well muffled about him and the glow of health on his cheeks, strode across the city hall square about noon. There are no half measures about Mr. McKane. What ho believes in he has no hesitation in expressing. "U'ouid you favor sending ex Register McLaughlin to the national convention as a representative of the state at large ho was asked.

"Most decidedly," answered Mr. McKane. "There is no mau in politics that I knew of for whom 1 havo greater respect. His judgment is admirable, he is always cool and temperate in his expressions and it is very seldom that he misses the weak point in tho party opposing him. This county, with its big Democratic majority, is undoubtedly entitled to the distinction of a state delegate and who of necessity and by the ohoica of all the Democrats within its borders would be more acceptable than Mr.

McLaughlin?" "What do you think of the date fr the convention and its location 7 "Oh, I don't see that it makes much difference." "Will Hill or Cleveland bo the nominee of the Democracy?" continued the reporter. "It lookB to me as if a Western man would be named," answered Mr. McKane. "Tho place or time of holding a convention haslitllc to do with tho result," remarked Mr. William A.

Furey, the secretary of the general committee, and then he went on laughingly: "if auy of tho delegates decline to serve between tho Albany convention and that held iu Chicago we can till their places."

Tn J'ress contain this special dispatch from "Holland," its New York correspondent: "Colonel George Bliss iu an interview inswti that Hill's politics have been such as practically to compel lus nomination, for they are the kind which dazzle a party which is composed of such elements as now make up the Democracy. The colonel also insists that Mr.

Blaine is to be the Republican candidate, not because of any dissatisfaction with President Harrison, but in spite of the confidence which the party here has in the President's administration. The colonel's words in the interview are these: 'I want to prophesy a liltlo.

IS EG AN KILLED? A Rumor in Wall Street That He Has Been Assassinated And That Chili Has Seized a Pacific Mail Steamer Blaine Said 1o Have Signed tho Ultimatum Under Pressure and to be Disgusted Minister Moutt Reported to Hare Misled His Home Government. There was ft wild rumor oa Wall street tiiin afternoon Unit Patrick E2.11), the United States minister to Chili, hud bcun assassinated iu that country. Nolliinu na known of it in Washinc ton and none of the cable companies had received auy iutelliirencc to that effect. It is looked upon us a canard. Another rumor afloat in Wall strent late this afternoon is that a Pacific mail steamship has been sized by Chili.

The report, which wts current at 3 o'clock, could not be continued up to the time the Eagle went to press. Special to the Wasuinh iox, V. C. January 27. It i8 reported in political circles in and about the department that there has been a serious split to day in the cabinet ever the Chilian business.

Mr. Elaine's friend say that although ha areued the ultimatum he did it under pressure and that he is non vory much disgusted at the outcome of the affair and the present situation. Secretary Tracy has not been at his office to day. He has remained at home and denied hiinielf to all callers. It is reported that the representative of the Chilian Eovomment in this city sent a communication to Secretary of State Blaine to day to the offect that if the spolony received yesterday from Chili was net satisfactory to our government, another and second communication would be gent, couched in such lancuacre as to meet all the demands of President Harrison.

This is cousid ered by tha congressmen the city to be the real gitnation to day. Captain Schley, however, is blamed on all sides for not aetinu more promptly when his sailors were attacked.

The correspondent of the Times at Santiaco de Chili to day telegraphs that the text of Chili's reply to the ultimatum of the United States has not yet been disclosed but, the correspondent adds, that until Saturday Chili, rslyiuer upon the advices received from Minister Moutt as late aB Friday, that pacific assurances were given him constantly by Mr. Blaine, the American secretary of state, considered that a settlement had been practically arranged, especially as Chili, through President Montt, had given counter asMirances of a friendly feeling and a desire to aa'isfy all reasonable demands.

President Montt position, tho correspondent adds, is now seriously compromised. Fortunately for tho tranquillity of Chili, tho entire nation places confidence in the patriotism and prudence of President Everything in Chili remains qniet so far. AT THE HEltCT OF THE STORS.

Th tna, Edward Webster became disabled during the northwest gale in the morning, and, together with two of the dumping boats of the street cleaning department of New York, which she had in tow, was blown out to sea. Tho scows were empty and their sides exposed a large surface ts the angry winds and turbulent sea. The hawser which connected tne tag and scows had parted aud becoming entangled in the propeller of the tug stopped her engines and rendered her unmanageable. The tug H.

Tha disabled tus and its scows and the others dropped by the Nichols were drifting out to sea with the storm buffeting them about 111 a manner which made their recovery appear very doubtful to th Nichols' crew. There were five men on the Webster, her owner, William SUennessy of this city, and two men on each scow. The vessels are provisioned for twenty four hours.
