Steamship Caledonian, a week overdue from Manchester, came in today, after fighting gales and tremendous head seas for 2800 miles. Officers reported that bad weather was continuous and said there was not one pleasant day since leaving Manchester. Jan 6. Jan 17 the steamer was facing the worst storm of the passage. She remained on her course as long as It was possible to keep her headed west, and then she hove to and was driven miles to the eastward.

On that day she covered only 27 miles In the direction of Boston. The seas battered the vessel until it seemed as though her superstructure would be crushed In, but she came through unscathed. Those on board saw nothing of the leng overdue steamship Epsom, 11 days late from Rotterdam. The Epsom left that port Dec 31, and was due here Jan 13. Some anxiety is beginning to be felt for her because of the protracted passage.

It Is ttgured that the 730 tons of bunker coal which she had on board n'ust be nearly exhausted, and that she will be compelled to put Into some other port to secure a fresh supply. The Epsom is laden with 2000 tons of cargo. ENGINES CAUSE TROUBLE. Mi, PP L- Wtz. Tkg Widow EX-CHIEK INSPECTOR JOSEPH DUGAN.

Judge Chase In the Middlesex Superior Criminal Court at East Cambridge today sentenced James H. Horsfall, a well-known Lowell business and club man, to six months In the Lowell Jail, for reckless operation of an automobile. On Nov 11, 1911, Horsfall, while driving on the State road between Tewksbury and Woburn. ran down Mrs Ruth Klt-trcdge her so seriously that she cled the next day. He was Indicted by the Grand Jury for manslaughter but at the trial the Jury disagreed.

Horsfall was then tried on four lesser counts. On one, that of operating an automobile while Intoxicated, he was found not guilty. On the other three counts, reckless operatln and running away after doing damage to person and property, he "was found guitly, and Judge McLaughlin, who presided at the trial, imposed a sentence of six months in the House of Correction at Hast Cambridge, and a 1300 fine. The case was taken to the Supreme Court on exceptions. His conviction on the count, alleging reckless operation, was sustained.

On the third and fourth counts his exceptions were allowed, and the court stated that If the Government wished to prosecute further, a new trial must be held on the two latter counts, in view of the conviction on the first having been sustained. "On the other hand," the court Bald, "the Government may elect to have the defendant sentenced on the single count on which his conviction has been upheld." The court's decision was handed down Jan 6. and today the district attorney moved for sentence on the single count. Attorney James F. Cavanaugh appeared for Horsfall.

The Judge made the six months' sentence in the Lowell Jail, Instead of the House of Correction at East Cambridge. HAS MADE RESTITUTION. the' in Speakers Announced All Ushers to Be Women.

Questioned by Mr McLellan, Miss Stone related an occurrence In the Public Garden Involving her patient and herself and the former brother, Franz Wenz.

She said it was some time In 1910, and that Henry Wens and she were seated on a bench in the Public Garden when they saw Franz Wenz approaching.

VESSEL IN THE WAY. Dismasted Vessel, the Charles Lu-ling, Finds It Hard to Secure a Berth in Port. The old schooner Charles Lullng, dismasted and otherwise crippled, is having difficulty In finding berthing room. The craft has worn out her welcome at some of the wharves at the South Slid and she has been ordered to vacate. First she was at Curtis Pope's Wharf, where she landed a cargo of lumber.

The owners of the schooner claimed demurrage. It Is understood, and decided to take the claim out In wharfage. Thee were objections to this by the lumber concern and the wharfinger ordered the vessel away. She dropped down the canal to the City Yard, where she remained several days. Then an appeal was made to Capt Hird.

the harbor master, to get the vessel out of the way. as barges bound to the City Hospital could not go to their berth. Capt Hlrd peremptorily ordered the captain of the schooner to move, and the Lullng then went back to Curtis Pope's. The lumber concern has since been trying to get the vessel away from its pier. The Lullng was partially dismasted while on a passage here several weeks ago.

Since then she has made one trip to Portland, having been towed down and back. What disposition will be made of the craft is not known. itoetia Daeey.
