Institute, read Prof. Owen Seaman's
lecture on the marriage customs, burial
rites and Olympian games of the ancient
Greeks to the Young Mems Christian
Association Chautauqua Circle in the
Associations gymnasium rooms last
night. Prof. Wait made interesting COM
ments and received close attention. The
lecture shows that among the ancient
Greeks marriage was civil contract and
not religious rite, it's associations were
practical and not romantic. At

AN INTERESTING RAILROAD SUIT,

Judge Noonan and Counsellor John c. Besson
argued case before Judge Lippincott today
which from a legal standpoint is OF considerable
crest. Ten years ago Vincent A. Flanagan, a
boy, was injured by q car belonging to the
North Hudson Railway Company, Judge
Noonsn recently brought sui1 on behalf of Elan
agan TO recover $4,000 damages. On behalf of
murrer the statute of limitations, and asked
that non suit be entered. Juege Noonon to-
day asked the Court to dismiss the demurrer
and claimed that the General Railroad and
Canal law of 1881 did not apply TO horse car
companies. He also contended that there had
been no lackes on the part of the plaintiff, and
that as the act was supplementary one it did
not vitiate the original law
Counsellor Besson contended simply that the
statute of limitations prevented the continuance
of the case. Judge LippnootJ took the papers
and reserved decision.

Jail, charged with defrauding N. w. White &

SEQUEL TO A THRILLING TALE.
The Destruction of the Derelict Drisko
Recalls the Story of Her Wreck.

The Destruction of the Derelict Drisko
Recalls the Story of Her Wreck.
New YORK, Nov. IS .-When the United
States cruiser San Francisco reported,
about week ago, its destruction of
the lsmber-laden. water-logged schooner
Drisko, off the south Atlantic coast by
the novel method of ramming, it told
but the sequel of thrilling tale of
hardship in which a woman, and
bride at that, bore the rigors of storm
and restitution that nearly proved
fatal to able bodied sea men. 1t was
on October that Captain R. B. Drisko'
from Jonesport, Me-, taking on a cargo
at Charleston, S. c., for Jamaica,
planned to take his newly welded wife
on voyage for wedding trip. They
sailed that day, with crew OF six
men. The day was bright, but at mid
night there was hurricane and at day
break the vessel was put about with
difficulty and permitted to scud under
bare poles. Then the captain went be-
low and, giving his wife a suit of his
own clothes, directed her to put them
on, knowing that the worst was likely
to happen. She had hardly doomed her
strange costume when a wave struck
the ship and threw her around broad
side to the sea. The captain clambered
out on deck, dragging mis- wife after
him and then, tying a rope about her
waist, he made 1t fast TO an iron rail.
A giant wave at that moment threw
the vessel on her beam ends and before
she righted the captain discovered
that his wife had disappeared. The
rope was still fast, however, and he
was able to drag her back, bruised and
exhausted. The vessel finally righted
and all hands dashed themselves TO the
top of the deckhouse and there they
by the storm, which continued with una
bated fury until the fourth day. Then
sailor dived into the cabin and found
can of meat. Some bunting was i'm
provised into distress signal and for
seven days they waited. On the morn
ing of the 10th the Mexican, Captain
Alexander, from New Orleans to Liver
pool, discovered them and the ship
wrecked people were taken aboard.
Before his departure for his home in
Maine Captain Drisko told the story as
above related. His wife sat close by
him
