P Mayor Weir's crusade against the so clal
evil Is exciting consldorablo comment. The
question baa been agitated to a greater or
less extent for several months. The minis

taken up the matter with their usual earnest

well demoralized during the past week.
Nearly nil of them have been arrested and a

Kearney appear for the defense with E. A ,
Cook , county attorney , and Benson of Eustls
for the state. The prosecution has clearly
established the fact that the crime was pro-
meditated. Walker's grievance against
Stevens seems to have originated on account
of Stevens taking laud which Walker used
for range purposes. It is also clearly proven
that Walker made repeated threats to kill
Stevens. The defense will endeavor to
establish the fact that Walker is of un-
aound mind , but pure cusscdncis seems to bo
the extent of his insanity. Walker's brother
and nephew are hero with him.

ADBITT IN A BARREL.
Fearful Experience * of tlioVifu ot an
Italian Sailor.
The bark Crlspo , bound from Jamaica to
Prlnco Edward island with a cargo of rum
and molasses , put in at ? Now London , Conn. ,
on , the 8th inst. , for repairs. In tlio neigh
borhood of the Bermudas she encountered a
small hurricane that weakened her foremast
and carried away her flying jib-boom. On
board was a woman that waa nicked un
about 20 ! ) miles northeast of the Bermudas
floating in a molasses hogshead and nearly
dead from exposure and hunger. The
woman tells a story of adventure that is
rarely mot with even in the annals of sea
faring life set forth In fiction.
Sue gave her name as Mrs. Mary Urotano ,
and according to her story she'sot sail Sep
tember 2S from Arccibo , Kan Juan island , in
the Italian bark Corqumez , of which her hus
band was captain. They cairled a cnrgo of
rum , molasses and spices , nnd were bound
for Now York. From the start the Corqumcz
mot with rough weather and made slow
headway. When fifty miles southeast of the
Bermudas two sailors were washed overboard -
board by a . heavy sea and drowned. This
accident left the bark with a crow of only
six men.
For nearly throe weeks the bark buifotcd
the heavy seas , mulling but slow headway ;
then one of the sailors was ) stricken with
pneumonia , and , in spite of all thocrowcould
do , bodied. This left live men aboard the
bark , and that number was cut down to three
a few days Inter when a sea came aboard ,
tore a boat from its .fastenings and swept It
against tlio mate and the cook , driving them
agalnsi the leeward rail and crushing the
life out of them.
With but two men to assist him , the captain
found lilmsclf unable to mun.igo the vessel
properly. Mrs. Bretano had followed the
water with her husband for several years ,
and she was something of a sailor. She did
her best to assist her husband , but in spite
of the efforts of the depleted crew , the ves
sel sheared around until she sailed squaruly
bcforo the wind. For two days she drove
inland bsforu a tcarlliu pain that finally car
ried her foremast away , and a few hours
later a sea ripped up the wheel and carried
it overboard , taking with it two men who
were steering. The captain and his wife
were alone , and. with the steering apparatus
gone , nil they could do was to hope for tlio
best.
Twenty-four hours without rest the man
and woman tolled at the pumps , then Mrs.
Hrotano's strength gave out , and her hus
band continued alone. The water gained on
the pumps , nnd when a sea came orer the
stern and swept thu length of the lurk , tear
ing up the hatches , the water pournd into
thu hold like a cataract. The captain , see
ing now thut work at the pumps was useless ,
turned Ills attention to ijovl&in. ? some
means of saving his wlfo. It was a question
of a few hours when the vessel would go
down , and she was likely to bo overwhelmed
any moment by the waves that were grow
ing heavier.
' WKIi the asslstanco of his wife the cap
tain managed to got an empty molasses
hogshead out of t tie hold , and lashing it to
thu mainmast , ho cut a square hole
in the side of it largo enough to admit
the body of his wlfo. Around
the barrel hn fastened several lengths
of strong rope , securely lasliing thorn there ,
so that the barrel was Dually inclosed in a
sort of network of rope , To thu end o ( these
ropes that hung from the sldo of the cask ,
opposite the hole , ho attached several ploces
of ulg iron , that together weighed a good
many hundred pounds. Into the barrel ho
put provisions nnd water and wearing up-
parel , and after all his vrilo got in. Thou the
barrel was unl'ishcri ' from the main mast.
With his wlfo provided for , Captain Bro-
tana boson work on another hogshead that
ho intended to prepare in the same manner
for his own occupanuy. Ho had roped the
cask and was getting the iron ready for it
when a mighty sea throw the vessel on her
beam ends nnd another wave swept tlio deck
clean. That was tholasttliutMrs.Brotanosaw
of her husband. The casK in which shu stood
was ballasted by the weights that hung mi-

it afloat. The fate of her husband overcame
the woman , anil sie ! says that 'she fainted.
She must.havo lain a long time unconscious ,
for when she again rcali/ed her surround
ings it wns night. The waves wore running
mountains high , but the cask rode them like
a duck. She sufTnred u good deal from cold ,
and aho was contiuually wet by the spray
that How through the opening at the top of
the cask. She had a good supply of provi
sions in the shape of oauued meats and water
in bottles.
At the end of two ( lays the Y7ind and the
waves subsided nnd the woman could stand
up and take-a survey of the son. She had
no Idea of her whereabouts , bat she hoped
that she was in the path of some craft that
would pick her up. Her strange vessel
stood the wear and tear of the waves
splendidly , hut she -was la constant fear that
the weights would become looao. hi which
case she know that the cusk would roll over
and nil.
As ncarlv as she can calculate , she was
alloat five days. On the fourth day aho
drank the last drop of water that Bho had
and ate tlio last morsel of food , a poou deal
of which had been spoiled by the salt spray
boating Into the opened cans of mo.it and
noaUing the biscuits that she couldn't pro
tect. She suffered intensely from the cold ,
and as her body grew weak from hunger and
thirst she felt the exposure more keenly. On
the morning of the ilfth day she becama so
weak that ahe couldn't stand , and hoping
for a quick termination of her sufferings
she lay helpless In the tossing cask. It was
on this day that the cask was picked up by
the Orisno and the woman discovered. Shu
was terribly exhausted , but she uas given
good care by the captain of the Crlspo , and
under the effect of nourishing food she soon
regained her strength , and but for the grief
that she felt at the f aloof her Husband , she
showed no signs of her terrible experience.
