. terrible Disaster at Sea.

A terrible disaster occurred of
Watch Hill, Rhode Island, on the
morning of the 3Oth ult. AT an early
hour of that morning the steamer
Metis, with crew and passengers to
the number of over hundred and
fifty, was struck by the schooner Moe
casia, and in hall an hour went down,
carrying with her to sudden death,
not less than seventy souls. Most Of
the passengers obtained tickets on
board, so that it was impossible to
furnish a list of names of the lost.
The following is the statement of
Captain Charles i. Burton, of the
steamer .Metis, as given TO j. Wesley
Smith:or the Albany argus: 4
We lett New York at 5 :15 P. NJ.
on the 29th of August. The weather
was overcast and rainy, with "a fresh
breeze 1rom the southeast. At 3 40
q. nl.,: ,:w hen between the two light
houses ON Moniaak Point and Watch
Hill about three miles off tire Rhode
Island shore, the propeller was run
into bg;an unknown schooner, striking
lius forty ieet abaft OF the stern, or
l!nearl pabreast of the pilot-house. The
propeller was immediately stopped
| anditurned around, and we endeavor-
led to find the vessel, but failed to do
so.,iI sent the mates and pilot below
to ascertain if the propeller was
making any water. They reported to
me that she was not, and we consid-
cred the damage very slight. We then
proceeded on our way to Providence.
@SAfter running few moments the
Eengineer reported that the steamer
was rapidly filling. 1 Immediately
HEADED her for the nearest shore, and
used every exertion i'll my power to
save the passengers and crew. AT
this, time the wind was blowing a
strong gale from the southeast, ac-
companied by heavy rain. 1t soon
became evident that the steamer must
| go down. 1t was not longer than half
an hour from the time she was headed
| for the shore until she sunk. The life
boats were lowered and filed at once
with persons anxious to be saved.
One Of the boats was swamped, but
twas soon srighted by the Chief Engin-
Ieer, who was in her. He sculled her
: ]lupS46 the wreck, and she was again

lIpersons were left OH the upper deck,
(which drifted with the gale.
ssTlfe storm still continued, and al
though several vessels came in sight
Ilnoue recognized us. We continued
/ in this perilous condition until about
eight O'Clock a. M. when we drifted
on the beach about half mile from
/ Watch Hill Lighthouse. The surf
was very high and our danger was in
l.creased. BY this time quite number
of people from Watch Hill Hotel
were on the beach profering aid, but
all was of no. use to us. The roar oi
the, surfpreyented any communication
and is was evident to US that the deck
on which we foated must soon go to

up commenced, and we were al

DEATH OF S. r. FREEMAs.-The an
nouncement of the decease of our fel-
low citizen, Stephen r. Freeman,
which occurred at about half past five
o'clock on Thursday morning last,
will be received with feelings of sad
ness and regret by his large circle OF
friends and acquaintances. The dis
ease of which he died was consump-
ton superindueed by diabetis, with
which he had been afflicted for two
years or more. Mr.. +. had been long
connected with the business interests
of Ravenna and Portage County. He
was born in Rutland, VT, Nov. z,
1906, and was consequently in the six
ty-sixth year of his age at his death.
In january 1884, he was united in
marriage with Miss Lucretia A. Sea-
ton, who survives him. He came to
Ohio in 1886, and settled in Cleveland
where he continued to reside two or
three years. He removed to Palmy-
IA in this county in 1889, and remain
there and in that vicinity till April,
1916, when he came to Ravenna, and
for about a year thereafter he vas en-
ployed as clerk in the County Au-
ditor's Office, under Auditor Rhodes.
He then entered the employment oil
the late Cyrus Prentiss and took the
management of his extensive cheese
and produce business continuing in
that position till after the death OF
that gentleman. About year after
that he went into business of dealing
in butter, cheese and produce for him
self and continued in that business in
connection with his SON, to the time OF
his death. He was an upright, honest
intelligent and energetic business
man, and q gentleman of fine social
qualities. He leaves q widow and
five children, one son and four daugh'
ters, with q large circle of friends and
acquaintances to mourn his death
His funeral took place from the fami
ly residence on South Chestnut street
on Friday afternoon, and was conduc
ted by the members of Ravenn:
Lodge, No. 65, 1. o. o. F., of which
he had for many years and up to th'
time of his death been q devoted ant
honored member.

DURING the fever epidemic of last
month, the stock of Ayers Ague Cure
in the Old North State became ex-
hausted, and before supply could be
received from Lowell, the suffering
from chills and fever became fearful.
A few parties were SO fortunate a. to
have it on hand, and in Iredell County
the druggists eked out their slender
stocks by selling doses-a spoonful
each-for a dollar. Many paid ten
dollars for bottle, when the regular
price is but one, and thought them.
selves favored at that, so valuable are
the curative properties of this prepa.
ration, which not only expels the poi.
son from the system, but leaves the
patient with unimpaired health and
vigor.-Raleigh, IN. CO. Standard.
