Steersman on Frail Craft Attempts
to Pass Astern of a Tugboat
"With 4 a. Tow DcspUo
Cries" of 'Warning.
BEVERLY, N. J., Oct. 22. A launch con
taining nine men, all of. Philadelphia, col
lided with a barge In the Delaware River
off this place late this afternoon, result
ing In the drowning of six of the occu
pants of the little boat The other three
were roscued by the crew of the tugboat
Bristol, which was towing the barge whon
the accident happened. Those rescued
are: Captain John Winch, the owner of
the launch; TV. F. Russell and J. Ruther
ford. The dead:
WILLIAM WINCH.
JOHN ELLIS.
JOHN STEVENSON.
SAMUEL HERRON.
NORMAN DELANET.
JAMES YONKERS.
The launch was hired by eight of the
men, most of whom live in the northeast
ern ' part of Philadelphia. The elder
Winch took his son along to assist him
in running the boat. The day -was spent
near Croydon, on the Pennsylvania side of
the river. The start home was made late
in the afternoon.
Opposite this place the launch met the
tug Bristol. In command of Captain Mott,
which was towing a barge to Bordentown.
N. J. "Whether Captain Winch saw the
barge is not known; nevertheless he at
tempted to cross the tug's stern. Captain
Mott hailed him and tried to prevent him
from doing so.
Captain Winch was standing at the
wheel of the launch as he went around the
ir.ern of the tug. The hawser of the tug
struck him and knocked him overboard.
Before the captain's son or any other
member of the party could take the wheel
to steer fhe launch clear of the barge the
latter struck the frail boat amidships,
capsizing it.
The launch roiled under the barge and
its occupants went with It. Captain Mott
put the tug about and went to the rescue.
He and his crew threw ropes and life pre
servers to the struggling men In the
water, but they were able to save' only
three of them. The rescued men were
landed here by the tug and cared for at a
hotel. They left for Philadelphia late to
night. Captain Mott, assisted by several resi
dents of Beverly, wont in search of the
bodies and were rewarded by finding
three, but darkness put an end to the
work. The local authorities tonight re
quested the Philadelphia police to send a
tug to Beverly to drag for the other bod
ies, and a police boat was ordered to the
scene. She arrived here late tonight. The
launch was washed ashore. It Is badly
wrecked.
Captain Winch is completely dazed over
the accident. "Only a few of the men
were known to me," said he. "Most of
them wore friends of John Ellis, at whose
suggestion the party was formed. We
left Philadelphia early this morning In
my launch and sailed up the river as far
as the mouth of Neshamlny Creek. We
wvnt up the creek as far as the clubhouse
of the Alliance Boat Club, some of the
membors of which were known to some
of us. We spent the day there, and soon
after 6 tonight started on the return
down the river.
"I was at the helm, and when we
neared the Beverly wharf, on the Jersey
shore. I saw the tugboat making its way
up the river. In the dusk that had set
tled over the river, I could only make
out the dim outline of the tugboat. Aftor
we passed tli? tug I turned the launch's
prow more toward the Beverly shore I
was horrified by seeing the bulky form of
n barge up over us.
"Before I could give a cry of warning
the boats met, and 1 was caught In a
swirl of water and brokon Umber. I
could fel myself bumped along the bot
tom of the barge; then I struggled loose
and swam to the top. After lloundering
around In the water for what seemed
ages, some one threw me a rope, and I
was dragged aboard the barge.

HAPPY FOR THREE DAYS

Isabel McDermoth. who was married
City Treasurer Sargcaut Wednes
day, paid their respects to the bride.
ho. it Is alleged, has been a terror
to brides in tho past. Mr. and Mrs.
"Sargeant got out of town on an -early
morning train, practically as "blind
baggage." They left a house furnisnca
for their return. Since then young
married couples who had been the vlr-
tim of Miss McDermoth's pranks bavo
been busy.
The house has a placard In evory
window, signs arc everywhere In the
ard, old shoes, umbrellas and rubbers
are piled Itnec deep, rice Is strewn
broadcast, while steramers of "White
paper float from many imaginary pin
nacles. The house Inside Is more ex
travagant in Its arrangement than the
wildest tale In the "Arabian Nights."
Many hundreds of persons visited the
house today, going on foot and In car
riages. Mr. and Mrs. Sargeant win
return from Portland tomorrow ana
their arrival will be signal for further
hilarity of the character.
Two marriages In Aberdeen the past
ten days brought out the charivari
fiend and the ricethrowcr. It has got
to a point In Aberdeen that many
bachelors, who otherwise would be
come benedicts, stay out of matrimony
for foar of the annoyance that fol
lows such an act. Ten days ago a
couple decided to be marriod at tho
unseasonable hour of 5 o'clock In the
morning In order to avoid the rice-
thrower and the shoesllnger. When
they came back from their trip the tu
mult was ten times worse than If they
had not endeavored to be cautious.
The charivari fiends went In small
squads, five pr six at a time, until the
distracted bridegroom had to Anally
write chocks on the bank to get rid
of fhem. A couple, last week, to avoid
the rice racket, got away safely to
Hoqulam by a great deal of Ingenuity,
and the next morning on Jhe way to
Portland hid themselves In the baggage-car
and the baggage-man had to
almost u"e force to keep tho rice ma
niacs out! The car was covered with
shoes and ribbons tacked and tied all
over It while the train remained In the
depot. This sort of Idiocy would seem
to merit special legislative enactment.

A TRAINED NURSE
After Years of Experience, Advises Women in
Regard to Their Health.
Mrs.. Martha Pohlm&n
of 55 Chester Avenue,
Newark; N. J., who is .

Blockley Training' School,
at Philadelphia, and for
six years Chief Clinic
Nurse at the Philadelphia
Hospital, writes the letter
printed below. She has
the advantage of personal
experience, besides her
professional education,
and what she has to say
may be absolutely relied
upon.
Many other women are
afflicted as she was. They
can regain health in the
same way. It is prudent
to heed such advice from
such a source.
Mrs, Pohlman writes:
"I am firmly persuaded,
after eight years of experience
with Lydia. E. Pinkham'a
Vegetable Compound, that it
is the safest and best medicine
for any suffering woman to
use.
"Immediately after my

pains down through my limbs so I could

trouble as I have ever known. Lydia H.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, however,
cured me within four months. Since that
time I have had occasion to recommend it to
a number of patients suffering from all
forms of female difficulties, and I find that
while it Is considered unprofessional to rec

Early in Race for Mayoralty.
Local politics was plven a decided
Impetu3 the past week by tho announce
ment of Mayor Llndstrom that he will
be In the field this year for a rcnom-
Ination. Ho has shied his castor Into
the arena earlier than has been the
custom with Aberdeen aspirants for
raayorallty honors in the past, probably
with the Intention of putting a blight
upon a few incipient booms.
Mayor Llndstrom has been one year
in office, and prior to his term as
Mayor served In the Council. He has
never been a positive character, and
up to the time he took the initiative
In the shack razing, when the Council
was lukewarm on the proposal to de
molish them had little in the way of
municipal advancement to his creJIt.
The shack Incident will, doubtless, be
the lever that will place him back In
the Mayor's chair, for It has developed
a stratum of political acumen In the
man which hitherto had not cropped
out. Mayor Llndstrom, however, has
been watching municipal affairs. He
has grown some, and If elected there
Is the probability of recommendations
which. If carried into effect, will meta
morphose some of the almost antedolu-
.vlan principles which have been ap
piled to municipal affairs In Aber
deen and which will continue until
some man arises with backbone suf
ficlent to work a revolution In present
methods.
While Mayor Llndstrom has demol

halls, which a great many good people
regard ns a much greater crying evil.

movement developing, which will have
Its greatest Incentive In a series of

far the movement for their suppres

Smells of the Stable.
When the plan for the present Cty
Hall was In an embryonic state undor
Mayor West's administration It was sug
gested by men who had lived elsewhere
that it would be folly for the city to build
a combination City Hall and fire depart
ment on account of the aroma that would
arise from the stables and permeate the
entire building. The city had a lot on
which a building for the fire department
and Jail could have been erected, leaving
the Council free to plan a building sole
ly for City Hall purposes.
The old City Council and Mayor, with
one exception. Ignored the statements of
those who had gone through a comblna
tion experience In other cities and built
the combination hall. It took only two
sessions of the Council In the new build
ing to find out that where horses arc
stabled underneath city solons a stench
will arise, and the new building, one of
the prettiest imaginable in an archltectur
al way. is already destined to be an III
smelling place on a warm Summer day.
and on every day for that matter.
A Iilttle Church History.
Bishop Keator, of this Episcopal dlo
ccsc. has left an unpleasant taste In the
mouths of some members of the church
hero which the new pastor. Mr. Barnes
of Seattle, may be able to eradicate. The
long and sustaining suit of the church
Is a society of women known as St. An
draw's Guild. In the past they kept the
church on its feet and built the rectory-
some time ago a air. George, an
apostle of the high church cult, was sent
here and Immediately began to sit down
on the guild, because they gave dances
to raise funds to meet church expenses.
Bishop Keator must have sustained Mr.
George, for the guild did no work after
he landed here, although the members
worked half-heartedly In an Individual ef
fort to do things. When Mr. George went
away the church was left silent and alone
except at long intervals. Meanwhile the
bishop accepted the rent of the rectory,
which had been erected out of dancing
money, and applied It to doing good In
whatever way he thought best. The
church has finally a pastor and the old
guild members like him and If he gets
his salary It will be because theulld
will get it for him.

A HIT
Whnt She Gained by Trying Again.
A failure at first makes us esteem final
success.
A family in Minn, that now enjoys
Postum would never have known how
good it Is If the mother had been dis
couraged by the failure of her first at
tempt to prepare It. Her son tells the
story:
"We bad never used Postum food cof
ree till last spring (a year ago) when
father brought home a package one even
ing Just to try It. We had heard from
our neighbors, and In fact every one
who used It, how well they liked it. and
that besides taking the place of coffee ag
a beverage It furnished a most nutritious
and healthful article of food. So we
were going to give It a trial.
Well, the next morning mother brew
ed It about 5 minutes. Just as she had
been in the habit of doing with the
other coffee, preparing it, I fear, without
paying special attention to the direc
tions orlntcd on the package. It looked
weak and didn't have a very promising
color, but nevertheless fatner raised nis
cud with an air of expectancy, it cer
tainly did give him a great surprise, but
I'm afraid It wasn't a very pieasam one.

or twenty minutes, and this time we
were all so pleased with It that we have
used It ever since, and though we have
a auantlty of the old conree m tne nouse.
I fear It will all be spoiled before wc can
eet It used up.
"Father was a confirmed dyspeptic and
a cun of coffee Is to him like poison. So
he never drinks It any more, but drinks
Postum regularly. He. Isn't troubled with
dyspepsia any more, and Is actually
growing fat, and I'm sure Po,stum Is the
cause of It. All the children are allowed
to 'drink It and they are perfect pictures
'of health." Name given by Postum Co.,
