THE DESPATCH WRECKED.
She Went Ashore On Assateague (Va.)
Shoals in q Gale.

The United States steamer Despatch while
on her way from New York to Washington
ran ashore on Assateague shoals on the Vir-
ginia coast during the night and was totally
wreck ed.
The weather was thick and nasty that
night, and the commanding officer OF the
Despatch hugged the shore too closely in his
efforts to avoid the full fury of the weather,
and her dangerous position was not discov-
cred until Il was too late to avoid being
driven on the shoals by the heavy northeast
gale which prevailed.
There is hardly a more dangerous and
treacherous place along the coast than AS
sateague. The tug North America went to
her assistance.
The Despatch was firmly fixed In the sand,
broadside on to the beach. A high sea was
running and rapidly pounded her to pieces
The Assateague life saving crew succeeded
in getting her officers and crew ashore In
safety, and they were properly cared Tor.
There was little or no hope of hauling the
vessel Off
The grounding of the Despatch is not new
experience with the Navy Department. This
is the fourth time within a year that she has
thus distinguished herself, but on each oc-
casion she has been hauled off without incur
ring serious damage.
The Despatch succeeded the old Iallapoosa
as the Presidents yacht and despatch vessel
about six years ago, Her days as despatch
vessel were already about ended: Inc
yard to take her place, and it is expected she
will be ready for the service in about sixty
days. The Despatch upon being relieved
was to be assigned to duty as freight boat
after a general overhauling, of which she was
badly in need.

A NIGHT OF BURGLARIES.

Several Homes Entered by Money
Seeking Thieves-A Hasty Re-
treat at the Pistols Mouth-Sapo-
lilo Did Ii,
At IA. NJ. Thursday morning the res
idence of o. S. Freeman was entered by
burglars throu gh kitchen window
which had not b been fastened. Mr.. Free
man had been up only five minutes be-
fore to see il his little boy was covered, ,
and was about falling asleep again when
he heard something fall. Going to the
head of the stairs he heard cautious foot
steps and notice the flicker of a match.
Securing his revolver from a bureau
drawer he went part way down the stairs
and calling to the intruder fired several
shots into the kitchen. The would-be
burglar made a dash for the kitchen
door, which he had not yet had time to
ooen. The door opens into a little
piazza enclosed by a storm door. The
outer door was locked and further
strengthened by stout piece OF wood
braced underneath the lock. The bur-
glar did not know this, and rushing out
of the kitchen door iell over himself and
the piece of wood, making most un-
earthly noise. He recovered himself, how
ever, opened the door and made his escape
in the darkness before Mr.. Freeman,
who had only his night clothes on, could
pursue him. Mrs. Freeman is naturally
nervous and was prostrated for some
time after the shooting.
The house is a spacious one, located on
the boulevard, and surrounded by trees
and lawn with windows on all sides,
every one of which had been tried. The
one through which the thief entered is
in the kitchen above the sink and fully
seven feet from the ground, and was
reached with the aid of large box
which stood in the yard. The i'm
print of mans muddy rub
Der was plainly seen in the
sink, and it was the falling of a
cake of sapolio from the window sill into
the sink that aroused Mr.. Freeman. The
family had only the day before returned
from two weeks absence.
The same night thief entered the
residence of Mr.. S. j. Freeman, 30 Irv-
ing place, through dinlng-room WIN
dow, and stole some money from
pocket book and child's bank. They
were evidently frightened away before
they could accomplish anything further.
