A VIKING SHIP

Found 14O Feet Below the Surface Near
sandy Hook-Lighthouss Contractors
Encounter 1t In Sinking . Well
Possibly Treasure in the hold.
NEW YORK, Aug. 8.-[Special IA ship
that was sunk ages ago was few days since
discovered imbedded in sandy clay 140 feet
below point several miles outside Of
Sandy Hook.
Some weeks ago Isaac Hathaway 8 Co.,
civil engineers and contractors, who hail
from Pennsylvania but have much public
work In this neighborhood, began opera
tions on the foundation of q new light
house on Orchard ShoslA The water at
this spot was growing shallower every
year. The sand forming the surface of the
bottom of the bay is so hard that after 100
tons of iron work had been put In place the
heavy structure sank only an inch or two.
To get full and better supply of fresh
well at the point ct which they worked.
About ten days ago 1000 feet of two sizes
of iron piping arrived and work began.
Between 125 and 140 feet down the pipe
met deposit of blue clay mixed with sand
finer than mustard seed. Then the sharp
steel cut the hull of the buried ship, but
they were unaware of 1t until strange
jetsam began tumbling out of its top. The
tubes passed through her deck and hold,
then through her bottom or side and again
entered another bed of sand
The pieces of deck brought to the surface
were Of oak and in fair state of preserva-
tion. 1t is estimated that her bottom rests
in sand cradle about 160 feet beneath the
bottom of the bav. The depth at which she
lays and the uncommon hardness Of the
mountain of sand she lies buried under,
makes her discoverers believe she was q
vessel of some adventurous Norsemen, and
went down before New Amsterdam was on
the charts

Lillian Kennedy as Charming as Ever In
New Comedy Drama.
How many times has the poor but honest
maiden married the wealthy aristoorat,
upon the stage, to her temporary discom6-
ture? And how often has the wicked inter-
Looping villain kept the audience guessing
when his last plot will have been plotted7
The familiar virtuous young lady ofhumble
origin, her wealthy hubby and the inevi-
table villsin with the curling lip and the
ansrchistic hair, are all at home in "She
Couldn't Marry Three" the new comedy
drama produced at the Bi}ou Theater last
night As far as the play goes
there is not great deal that is new In 1t;
the old, old melodramatic material being
woven in with some irrelevant comedy, and
the songs and dances which Miss Kennedy
affects. The title "She Couldn't Marry
Three"-which is a taking trap for the
theatergoer-gives a clew to the main line
of the plot. A young and simple fisher
girl is loved by three men, and with not the
best sense she chooses q wealthy aristocrat
instead of an honest fisherman of her own
station in life. She wisely throws a scamp
aside, however-though, by the way. it is
not clear that he wants her till she is some
body else's wife This scamp lays all sorts
of traps for the young couple ana nnally
succeeds in separating them. But though
he plots in approved style till the very
last and tries hard to have his rival, the
lawful husband, run over by railroad
train, the villain dies in due time by the
hand of the fisherman and platonic lover of
the lady fair.
Miss Kennedy, in the guise of the fisher
girl heroine, made pretty picture She Is
Q capital actress, who sometimes suggests
Lotta, but who has dainty sentimental
side as we'll. Last night she was plainly
suffering from bad cold, In spite of which
she sang bravely. Her gracefulness Is
strongly shown in her dancing John j.
Kennedy's delineation of raw yokel
was broadly humorous, and the scene lifted
from "a Rough Diamond" in which the
rustic Philistine visits his elevated rela-
tives, was the funniest thing of the evening.

dyed Villain respectively we're satisfactory.
The ruins Of Tynemouth Priorv made
picturesque scene, and the rest Of the
scenery was pretty good. The great rail-
road scene," as usual with these attempts at
terrific realism, was decidedly funny, al
though the locomotive spouted showers of
real sparks and snorted in and out of season
under the compulsion Of real steam. The
audience was very large and enthusiastic
considering the heat Fans were out in
great force.

After facing each other q minute or two
in the omnibus which was still waiting for
my luggage-which my maid, an expert
command of nouns and very small of verbs,
was looking after-I broke through my
English reserve (Which was never my
strong point), and asked: "Have you lost
your luggageP"-which. indeed, was the
supposition 1 had made.
The girl seemed much relieved to be able
to speak. "Oh, no." she said, "much
worse than.that hayeIlost my mother-and
father. They were to meet me here bv this

when she would step into the arms of her
mother. All SO beautifully arranged, no
trouble at all-instead of which she had

to hasten on her things" and to change
into smother carriage; and now at the end,
where she hoped all her troubles were
over, there was no mamma on the platform.

not have known what to do, or where to
look, but for that kind man, who himself
lost his luggage, and had to 90 back to the
frontier to look after 1t. "He said this was
the best hotel, and I had better 20 to It,
and then telegraph, =" she repeated, looking
out, as the omnibus got into motion, with
wistful eyes ct the pass engers in the streets
"You must stay with me till they turn

A CHANCE ENCOUNTER.
By MRS. OLIPHANT.

met her just outside the railway station,
In one of the great italian towns; indeed, it
was in the omnibus of the hotel to which 1
was going, and which stood there, as they
all do for long time, awaiting the collie
tion of luggage. She was quite young, not
20, girl so perfectly CONNIE il faut, SO
well dressed from head to foot, so evidently
accustomed to be cared for and looked after
that her little air OF bewilderment and dis
tress, and the way she looked about as if
seeking some familiar faoe, was all the more
noticeable. L hope 1 should have been as
sorry for more ordinary specimen of
humanity, but l certainly should not have
been so much interested. She was not alone,
however, at this moment, but was accom-
panied by man, who put her into the
omnibus with sundrv expressions OF en-
enlargement, and descriptions OF how she
would find her smaller luggage outside, etc,
TO which she replied with profuse thanks,
without ever ceasing her anxious look
round the wide space before the rail-
way station, which was crowded
with people coming and going. 'T'll look
round in the evening and see if you have
heard anything" he said; to which she
replied by begging him not to take the
trouble TO disturb himself, with many
renewed expressions of thanks for his kind
ness TO her. He pstted her on the shoulder,
as he shook hands with her, encouragingly.
He was q man twice her age, and had
trientjv look and an American accent
There was not about him the smallest trace
of Don Giovanni; yet that pat on the
shoulder Immediately quickened my grow
ing desire to intervene. She was not q
beautiful girl-in my experience beautiful
girls are very rare; but her features were
agreeable, her complexion of that blanc mat
which the French admire so much, her hair
of q pretty chestnut color, the outlines of
her soft, young face distinct, though very
delicate and fair. But il was the little air,
which could scarcely be called personal dis
tinction, yet which made impossible for the
girl to look common under any circum-
stances-the perfect physical training and
well-beine, the perfection of care and re-
gard for her comfort, and selection of the
appropriate and becoming In every personal
detail, which suggested that every precau-
tIon had surrounded her an everything
possible had been done for her, from her
cradle up-which struck one most Her
dress was quite simple, yet of the best kind.

of the passengers had travelled all night.

for me beforehand-O like to travel COM
fortsbly)-beside nice little fire, with our
aloaks and wraps thrown of, and johnson
already in the room beyond with her Etna
making . pleasant fragrance Of tea, the
mystery was very speedily and very simply
curiosity; but I am not sure that it was
this feeling or rather a still more natural
impulse which made me suggest that If the
porter found them, Of course her father
would come immediately to take her to the
much desired mamma
"Oh, mother will como herself" she said
quickly; and then with little embarrassed
laugh. "You will think Il the strangest
thing-but though, Of course, shall have
to call him father, and there IL no other
name to give him-I have never seen him
yet"
''You have never seen your father"
cried
And then she told me with . little
blush, as If she were somehow in
fault, twisting about little ring on
1t, that she had been for long time in
school in Germany for her education,
though her homo was In England; that as
mammals health would not permit her to
live in either country, she had been spend
ing the winter on the Riviera, at Nice and
other places; and that, as . matter of fact,

She gave her head the faintest little shake,
but she said, "Oh, hope so," hurriedly, as

not care to enter. Poor little thing; her
heart was sore over this new relationship.

what they used to be. When was girl

BAND MUSICIANS ARE ARTIsTR

So Declares Commissioner Hoyne when
Asked for the Arrest Of Canadians.
CHICAGO, Aug. 8.-An unsuccessful at
tempt was made yesterday by the Chicago
Musical Union to secure the arrest of the
famous Thirteenth Battalion band, of Ham
ilton, Ontario. as 1t passed through the city
en- route to Denver, on the allegation that
it had come into this country in violation of
the alien labor law, being under contract to
play for the St. Bernard Commandery, of
this city.
On behalf of the band it was stated that 1t
was under no contract to play for any COM
mandery in this country and was merely In
attendance on the Hamilton Commandery.
United States Commissioner Hoyne de-
clined to issue warrants on this ground and
for the further reason that musicians are
artists and exempt from the operation OF
the law
