Extreme Peril of a Lady and

Three Children.
ATLANTIC Cry, n. j., March ~.
The recent heavy storms along
thls coast have caused the formation
OF lnnumerable beds Of quicksand
which are sources Of deadly peril to
nnwary people. The wife and three
children Of ex-Mayor Giipin, OF this
citv. were rescued from one Of these
traps of shifting sand yesterday just
as the tide was rising. each succeed
inp wave threatening to enguli
sl,em. Mrs. Gilpin and her chill
slren were out driving in a buggy,
and the besuty Of the day tempted
tb.m TO turn their horse's head
backward for a drive along The
shore. They drove slowly, so close
to the waters edge that little rippies
flowed about the horse's hoofs.
They had scarcely proceeded a quar-
ter Of mile when Mrs. Gilpin
noticed that the carriage wheels
were sinking to ali alarming exten
in the sand. The horse Logan Il
founder, sinking to his knees al
every step. At last he was unable
to pull the buggy any further, and
stopped painting with the exertion'
he had made. Too late an attempt
was made to turn In shore. The
horse could not move, and the hubs
of the buggy's wheels were hidden
in the sand. The tide was rising
rapidly beating against the carriage
side. Mrs. Gilpin and her children
leaped far out iEshOre. They sank
into the sand above their knees,
and every struggle which they made
only served to make them sink more
and more. They shouted for help
but no one, at that moment, was
rear. Unfortunately the place to
which their pleasure trip had led
them was an unfrequented part OF
the beach. Higher and higher rose
the tide, and as it did so the sand
grew softer and softer, letting its
prisoners deeper into its deadly folds.
The water had almost reached the
waist Of Mrs. Gilpin, and hope OF
lticue had deserted them, when
Wilson Willis passed 100 yards
away. The frantic calls for help Of
the imperiled people reached his
cars, and he rushed to their aid.
With The help Of a bathroom door
which he wrenched from its fasten-
ings he managed to reach Mrs.
Gilpin. His weight kept the door
under water and prevented him
from sinking into the shifting sand,
1t was hard work to get Mrs. Gllpin
out, but he finally succeeded, and
got beyond the edge Of the quick
sand to firm ground. Relieved ol
iLeir combined weight, the bath
room door had fioated in shore
Willis secured IL again, and after
half an hours struggle rescued the
three children. He then spread an
alarm, and the rescued people were
attended to. Later they were taken
home. The horse was saved by
means Of u tackle floated out In o
boat. The carriage was lost.

BLAZING PETROLEUM.
Plays Sad Havoc in Barcelona
Harbor.

BARCELONA, March 28.-In the
harbor here yesterday a sailor of
lighter, which was transporting pc
troleum from an American vessel to
the docks dropped lighted match
on one side of barrel. The bar
rel took fire and in moment was in
a blaze. The fire leaped from stem
to stern and the crew of the lighter
jumped for their lives and swan
ashore or to the other boats. The
lighter drifted around in the harbor,
q mass of flame and the burning oil
ran out on the water. Six vessels
at anchor near the spot where the
lighter took fire tried to get away,
hut the rapidity with which the blaz-
ing oil was blown toward them left
them no time. The corvette Thyra
caught first at the waters edge aud
those of the crew on board had to go
away on the other side in small
boats or jump and swim until
picked up. The corvette's decks
were on fire within a few minutes,
and the vessel was burned to the
waters edge and sunk within an
hour. The four steamers Cassilla,
Albino, Waller and ri caught
shortly after the Thyra was aban-
doned. The Thyra crew had a hard
time in escaping. Attempts were
made to tow them away from the
other shipping, and to bring streams
Of water from other boats to bear on
them, but the oil in the harbor reu-
dered these attempts 80 unsafe that
no volunteers could be kept at the
work. The warship Lepanto was
started from her moorings, but be-
fore she could get under way one of
the burning steamers swung up be-
side her and her rigging caught fire.
Before this could be eXtingulshed
burning brands were blown ON the
decks by the rising wind and the
commander was unable to keep the
few men not absent on leave, fight
ing the flames. They lowered the
boats with the aid of launch
which came out TO them and es.
capped unhurt. The Lepanto sank
last evening, The launch Cassilla
also was burned and sunk. Not a
life was lost, although several men
were injured while trying to beat
back the flames from the Lepanto.
The widest panic prevailed among
the ships In the harbor during the
fire, and many who were at dis
tance from the lighter when Il took
fire saved themselves only by start
Ing seaward Immediately, The spec
tacle OF the six burning ships was a
scene Of awful grandeur, aud was
viewed by thousands on the
wharves.

BALTIMORE, March 2S.-In the

ia obedience to the decree of God,
who said, The gates Of hell shall

THE GOOD GRAY POET. f"
Walt Whitman Passes Peacefully
Away at Camden.


PHILADELPHIA, March a.
Calmly and peacefully, like a child
asleep, Walt Whitman passed away
Saturday evening, at Camden, N. ].
He had been weaker than usual for
several days past, and at 4:30 in the
afternoon he began to sink. DIR.
Alex. McAllister reached the poets
bedside, and shortly after the doctor
found him In dying condition.
He asked the patient If he suffered
any pain, and he whispered an
answer in the negative. Three
minutes before death he said to an
attendant, "Weary, shift" They
were the last words uttered by Mr..
Whitman. His breathing became
fainter and fainter, and at exactly
6:43 p. m. he passed away. At the
time of the "good gray poets"
death his bedside in the humble
little frame cottage was surrounded
by little group consisting OF
Thomas b. Harmed, a close friend,
Horace L. Trabbel, his secretary,
DR.. McAIlister, the housekeeper ,and
Warren Fitzinger, his faithful male
attendant. The news of bis death
was telegraphed to Lord TennysOn
and other friends in England, DR.
Buck, Of Ontario, his biographer,
Colonel Whitman, his brother, and
also his many friends throughout
the country. A plaster cast Of the
dead features will be made. Whit
man left carefully drawn will, but
its contents are not to be made pub
lie until after the funeral ceremony.
The remains of the deceased will be
placed in his recently completed
tomb in Haveleigh cemetery, in
Camden, a spot selected by Mr..
Whitman when he was enjoying
his usual health and where he Wis
tied many times during the con-
struction of the tomb. No arrange
ments have been perfected for the
funeral.

Deeming's Confession.

LONDON, March 27.-Tbe papers
publish Deeming's confession to the
Rain Hill and Whitechapel murders
today. The story has caused the
most intense excitement, There Is
much difficulty in fixing the two
Whltechapel murders to which
Deeming ls said to have confessed
Although ten murders are attributed
to "Jack the Ripper" there is much
doubt az to whether the last two
were committed by the same hand
that committed the other eight.
The police of Leeman street station
do not have much belief that Deem.
ing committed the last two crimes.
rhey admit, however, If the con-
fe, sion refers to the murder of Alice
Mckenzie, which occurred in 1889
and Mary Kelly, committed in 1888
Y : possible Deeming is telling the
