"Oh. yes, I have a sentimental interest in the old ship," said Ad miral Clark. "But 1 would not cross the Sound to see the vessel in Brem erton. I am glad to see that the Oregon is being rebuilt and made tit to take a place in the line, she could give a good account of herselt in this late day.

William Gotheridge, one of the survlvois whose brother was lost, said when he was hrotight to shore: "We had got about one third of the distance acrosj the river when I suddenly felt a if I were sinking. In another minuaie I felt the cold water about my legs "Albert Gra ham, who was running the boat shut down the power but it was too late. 1 looked at Graham and noticed he was very pale, but he did not say a word. My brother and I. who were both good swimmers, started to get loose from the boat and 1 yelled to him to dive. We went cverboard and came up. He made a grab for me but I was suddenly dragged tinder water by a fellow who grasped me hy the waist and 1 went down the second time. "I was pulled tinder the water and had just time enough to take a hreath as we went down again. Under the surface the man lo! tne go and I came to the top and began to swim for shore when a skilT came up and I was pulled on hoard All this happened in about three minutes and I have not seen my brother or heard anything about him since." Edward Vogclei. one of the two brothers who were saved, while a third was last, said; "While I was struggling in the water and trying to keep up a steamboat went by I called for help, but the boat went on. Some one on board called out: 'you arc crazy' and that was the only response to my cries for help. Had it not been for John Deer, the brave ferry- through whose efforts eigtit were saved, there would have been but two survivors out 01 tnc o. Deer lived in a houseboat moored along the shore and helped run the ferryboats. He was in the boathousfl when he heard cries for help. Hur riedly jumping into a skiff he rowed into the middle of the swift stream and rescued cifiht of tis. These were all of the survivors except two who came a-hore. Searching parties were out all niht matching along the river Iron! for sign of any stragglers who mitjht have swam ashore. Women and children joined with the men who searched the banks all night long looking for loved ones who had not been found. AH the men in the boat except Graham, the ferryman, were employes of the Pressed Steel Car Company, on their way to their homes in Woods Run after a day of labor.

N'F.W YORK, May 12 According to horsemen, Jack Atkin, the top weight horse in the Metropolitan handicap, which is to open the rac ing season in the East at Belmont I'ark tomorrow may not be a starter. It was commonly believed that he would be reserved for tbe toboggan handicap on Saturday. Jack Atkin with the other three horses carrying heavie-t weight for the Metropolitan event have been doing fine work dur ing the last winter. James R. Kcene's three-year-old Turncoat galloped the Metropolitan distance of one mile easily in 1:43 yesterday. Arasee and Mary Davis in company went the distance in 1:44 2-5, The fact that Jack Atkin in a trial went three quarters of a mile in 1:19 3-5 led turfmen to believe that he would be reserved for the Tbbogin. John E. Madden's much-talked of three-year-old Fayette, which last season was rated net to Sir Martin, now a derby choice in England, galloped a mile in 1:43 and as he has had the benefit of a long early preparation at Washing ton, he is looked on as thoroughly fit. Mclntyre will probably ride him. Half Sovereign had an easy gallop of a half mile and is stil to be ready. High Private was given only a can ter yesterday but is considered a doubtful starter.
