St. Johns, N. F, May 4—One of those dreadful marine disasters which too frequently happen near rockbound shores occurred at Southwest Island on Sunday morning. The island lays to the westward of this place and is situated off Channel harbor. The male residents of the islaud are almost all hardy fishermen and frequently put out to sea In their fishing boats even in threatening weather when the fish are running high. Eftrfy on Sunday morning the noise of a powerful fog horn and the sound of a steam whistle were board. As the latter noise indicated that a strange vessel was off the coast, the majority of the inhabitants left their houses and gathered on the beach. Rain was falling in almost impenetrable sheets, and a tliiqk wall of fog obscured objects at a, short distance. London, May 4.—In the boose of commons Mr. Charles E. Lewis (Conservative), member for Londonderry city, moved that the house take notice that a bleach of privilege bad been committed by the publication of an article in The Times charging Mr. John Dillon with falsehood, the article in  being an editorial oomnMBt on Mr. JohW Dillon's denial that he had been an accomplice of Sheridan, tla dynamiter. The mottoa was seconded by Mr. P. A. Munta (Conservative), member for Tam- Worth. A Cleveland physician says Jack Dempsey will never be able to fight again.

Brooklyn, Mjy 4.—The crowd that daily walk across the Brooklyn bridge stood still yesterday afternoon to look at two tough looking young men in chock jumpors who were hustled along the south driveway toward the Brooklyn tower by two btidge policemen. Almost at the same instant a dark object that looked very much like a man was seen to shoot from the front seat of a covered wagon near the center of the span out over the Iren railing. The object disappeared in on instant, and that part of the throng whose attention had been diverted from the two young toughs looked down through the gridiron over which the cable cars pass and saw what they thought was a man struggling in fctye strong tide thdl raced under the great bridge. Presently they sa.w a boat oome along and pick the figure up, and row with it toward the navy yard.

Grand Rapids, Mich., 4,—Charles Martin,.a farmer, 88 years old, has .not lived, happily with his wife, and his wife' had threatened to end her oxistenco. While her husband was temporarily jibeent, she gave rat poison to their two young children and then swallowod a dose herself. The mother and the oldest child died before antidotes could be administered. The othQr child is in a precarious condition. Mr. Dillon demanded that the editor of The Times be brought before the bar of the hotue. The speaker, answering Mr. pfflon, said that if the house decided that the article was a broach of privilege, motion could then be made to bring the offenders to the bar. Mr. W. H. Smith moved that the house adjournin order to argue questions of faqt. Gradually the tog became less dense and tlieu rockets could be seen ascending at short but regular intervals. At once the islanders began to burn tar barrels and men waving lighted torches rang along the beach. The Right of rockets ceased and in their stead blue lights were burned continuously by the crew of the unknown vessel. Jt was impossible to distinguish the exact position of the stranded vessel, and even the most venturesome of the fishermen declared that it would be suicidal to attempt to reach the vessel, as no boat could live in the roaring surf, which was pounding upon the beach as though it would liaimpcr it into fragments. When the sound of the sea diminished, as it occasionally did, hearftanding shrieks could be heard. Hugged men cried, mothers wrung their hands, children wept, and the mental suffering on the shore was as great as though the vessel was known to be bringing dear ones to those who stood there powerless to help them. All that could be done was to pray for daylight and that the elements would not crush the vessel until succor could be given those on board. That the vessel could withstand the shock of the seas which every moment were thrown up against her sides and down upon her decks was thought improbable and the worst was feared. The young toughs by this time were being hurried along over the stone driveway toward the Brooklyn Bridge police station. As they were scurried acrosB the Car tracks into the station a great crowd looked upon them with curiosity mingled with a sort of admiration as the associates of the comrade who hod plunged from the heights of the great metallic) segment The bridge policemen, however, unfeelingly charged their prisoners with being drunk fcnd disorderly. They were bundled into a cell, and when a reportw talked with them last night they wor* hilarious, thoroughly ignorant of the fata of their supposed associate, and, with the fumes of tanglefoot coming like a monsoon through the iron bars, they protested that they liadnt the slightest idea of jumping from tfie bridge or in any way assisting anybody else to do so. Mr. Dillon strenuously opposed adjournment, saying that he desired an immediate settlement of the question. If the house would now consider the matter he would prove the publisher of The Timet to be a base and oowardly liar. Mr. Sexton said the Irish members accepted the challenge and Insisted upon full and immediate inquiry. "Let them," he said, "have an inquiry by a committee and then let The Times produce its battalions of forgers and liars. The Irish members would fully justify themselves." His I Jo £ub Paper Beaches S800,000. Philadelphia, May 4.—The' appraisers appointed by tho court to ascertain the amount of assets and liabilities of the in* solvent firm of John & James Hunter have bad returned to them over $800,090 of outstanding paper issued by James Hunter.

New York, May 4. — Ex-Commodore Smith, chairman of the America cup committee, received a letter from Secretary York, of the Royal Clyde Yacht club, Glaqgow, expressing Mr. Bell's satisfaction with the details arranged by correspondence in regard to the forthcoming contests for the cup. Mr. York says that Mr. Bell is anxious to have the date of the races fixed now, so that the yachtsmen interested dan make their engagements accordingly. He says the Thistle will be dispatched in time to be in New York three or four weeks before the dnV of the first raoe. The committee has decided that the raoes shall occur Sept. 27 apd 29 and Oct 1. on Sycamore street, and Dean Rodman, the rector, welcomed them in a few well chosen remarks. At 10:80 the annual sermon was delivered by Rev. Dr. George W. Watson. The sacrament of the Lord's supper was administered after the sermon. The convention was formally organized with Bishop Scarborough in the chair, Rev. E. K. Hmith, of Iiambertville, secretary, and E. 13. Smith, of Lambertville, assistant secretary. After the organization luncHeon was tei-ved to the delegates in the parlors of the Crescent Avenue Presbyterian church. In the afternoon tho bishop announced the committees and made his annual address, which occupied over an hour, gave a feviow of the state of the church in the diocese and brought a number of matters to the attention of the delegates. At the conclusion of the addro-js the convention occupied itself with routine business and the discussion of the measures advocated by the bishop. Beer More Expensive. Buffalo, May 4.—Tho brewers of this city organized a union to-day. The price of beer to retailers is to be advanced about 10 per cent, over the present cost of production, tho wages of employes having been raised 15 per cent, on Monday, and also on account of the increased freight charges on hops and other brewers' materials brought about' by the operations of the interna to commerce act. Mr. Brad laugh spoke in opposition to adjournment and characterised this debate as a concerted plan on the part of the Conservatives to assist them in the passage of an odious measure, Sir William Vernon-Harcourt said that Mr. X/ewifl' motion was a covert method of bringing an accusation by one section of the house against another; yet when the Irish members asked instant opportunity to meet the charges the accusers sought to adjourn. Mr. Hugh Holmes, attorney "general for Ireland, denied that the government had connived at tbe motion, which, ha .contended, was offered by Mr. Lewis in perfect good faith. If The Times publisher were called immediately to the bar of the house the house would not nowtw able to hear evidence in support of the charges; therefore, in the absence of the publisher of The Times, he thought that the very best way to arrive at the truth was to offer a mottpn to adjourn aad-ca2ZD .. u "Why, boss," they added u} a breath, "we only climbed ovqr from the promenade on to de roadway for fun. We haven't de pluck to hop over inter de river." Meanwhile Capt. Ward and six of his men were scouring the river front for the bridge jumper and the me* who had hauled him into the boat. The captain and llis men went up the river as far a« the navy yard and then gave up the search. It was authoritatively learned last night that the jumper was a protege of a Brooklyn tailor, and that body and soul he was made ot shavings. One of his men, in telling the story, said: New Haven Carpenters- Idl*. New Haven, May 4.—More than 500 carpenters are idle, owing to a strike caused by members of tho union who refuse to longer work in shops where non-union men are employed. Building operations almost wholly suspended, and from prtennt Indications are likely to continue ao for some time, as neither employes nor employers show any signs of yielding. Su.idouly a tremendous crash sounded loud above the howling of tho wind, the roar of the sea and tho hammering of»the surf. Every man and woman on the shore knew what that meant. Many of them had beard that awful sound before during their residence on the rock ribbed island. They knew that the vessel had sunk and that all on board bad gone to a sudden and horrifying death. In the evening a missionary meeting was held in Grace church. The services began at 8 o'clock, and the reports of the deans of the diocese were read. Discussion by the bishop and others of the missionary work of the diocese occupied the remainder of the jvening session.

Fox has telegraphed Fatsey Sheppard that Jack Me- Auliffe has decided to waive the joints disagreed to and would fight Jim Carney, tl«e English champion light weight, at his own tATinU "We had the bridge jumper stuffed yesterday morning. Then we dressed him in a fine ■nit of clothe*, put a mask where the fhce ought to have been, provided him with a soft felt hat and shoes, and started with him, laid out in one of Hildobrand's bakery wagons, at 8 o'clock. We crossed South ferry, and got to the New York entrance of the bridge at 4:13. This was the time agreed upon ifith the men in the boat, who had instructions to bo out in the oenter of " the river just under the bridge. We drove on to the center of the south driveway seven minutes later and our bridgo jumper was over in an instant. He sank gracefully, head foremost, and, after the usual splash he came up smiling, and was pulled into the boat. The boat pulled to the foot of Washington street, where I landed, and the boat went on to Catharine ferry, where it was pulled under a dock. Our bridge jumper was stripped of his fine raiment, leaving him with his body of shavings, and the suit of clothes will remain here as a reminder of the first jumper the bridge policemen did not capture." ■ ' Crushed Under Tons of Coal- Mouwt Caemel, Pa., May 4.—While Edward Miller, • prominent citizen of Mount Carmel, was* engaged at work at the Reliance colliery, hundreds of tons of coal fell Without warning aad crushed him to a shapolesf mass. The body was afterwards recovered. To-day the convention resumed its labors, »nd may conclude its sessions by evening. — —•« . - Mr. Gladstone opposed adjournment The demand of Mr. Dillon and Ids colteafdes for immediate trial was entirely just and impossible for the house to resist It had always been customary for the house itself to deal with a motion calling attention to a breach of privilege without delay, ahd afterwards, in special cases, by the appointment of a committee or Inquiry. As daybreak approached the fury of the storm waned. Preparations had been made tb*RO out to the wreck, and dawn disclosed it about 400 yards from the shore. Floating wreckage now began to appear, and it was learned from it that tho wrecked vessel was the steamship John Knox, bound from Glasgow to Quebec with a cargo of Are brick, manufactured iron and assorted liquors.

WabhinGTO N,May 4.—Cooler, fair weather followed by local rains, winfls shifting to westerly. The motion to adjourn was canted by a vote of 213 to 174. Mr. Smith moved to resumo consideration of the question on Thursday. At that time he would give his opinion whether a bread; of privilege had boen incurred. He expected, however, for the sake of fairness to "the Irish party, that the appearance of the printer of The Times at the bar would be ordered. *' * Best beer—not Best's—but best by far, You always find at Kennedy'! bar.

One of the bodies was identified by a certificate of discharge found in a coat pocket as being that ot John McGuire, a fireman on the ill fated Vessel. Mr. Sexton contended for to-day instead of Thursday as the day for resuming the discussion of the question. A fact leading to the exhumation was that Marshal Ney's skull had been trephined for a wound received in battle. If the skull of the man buried here were found to present evidence of the trephine it would be proof that the belief just stated was well founded. Mr. Dillon inquired if the editor of Hie Times would be brought to the bar when the house again took up the matter.

The people on shore formed a volunteer crew and went out to rescue the remainder of those aboard, but the current carried the rescuing party away. Those on shore sent out a third boat, which rescued the captain and steward. Attempt at Rescue. It is stated on good authority that Lewis really acted against the wishes of the government by bringing the question forward. The cabinet will hold a special meeting today to consider the matter pending between The Times and Mr. Dillon. The explosion 4a supposed to have been caused by the carelessness of the engineer in allowing the water in the bolter to get too low. Dr. Frank H.
