Fifty years ago Roger Drury of Web

Last summer, in his sixtieth year,
Roger Drury's health declined and be-

same time the cherry tree manifested
unmistakable evidences of decay, when
the old man had it cut down and sawed
into boards, from which he had his cof-

final summons came. Three weeks ago
he was compelled to resort to his bed,

\ TERRIBLE FIGHT.
1t Was In the Stokeroom of the Steamer
New York on Her Recent Trip.

1t Was In the Stokeroom of the Steamer
New York on Her Recent Trip.
When the big New York was cutting
her way through thick bank of fog
Friday night few miles off the Hook,
Third Engineer Raum climbed down
into the stokeroom and told Chief Fire
man Hinz that he should get up more
steam. The engineer spoke in such a
commanding tone that the chief fireman
got nettled and replied that, in his
opinion, the steam pressure under which
the ship was then working was suffi-
cient for the required speed.
The engineer became enraged and
with curse grabbed IL foot poker, the
handle of which was protruding from
one Of the immense furnaces, and was
about to run the redhot iron through
the body of the chief fireman when
Fireman Wagner threw himself upon
him from behind and bore him down,
thus saving the life of Hinz.
Then commenced terrible Life and
death struggle between Wagner and the
engineer. The men were on platform
from which the coal is shoveled into
the furnaces. Both men are of powerful
build, with muscles of steel. They
gripped each other where they lay and
rolled over and over. Each tried hard
to push or roll the other into one of the
blazing furnaces. About 40 coal pass
ers and firemen stood around, but could
not interfere, as the chief fireman told
them to keep aloof. Wagner had the
advantage of being naked TO the waist,
while the engineers movements were
somewhat hampered by his close fit
ting uniform.
Wagner finally managed to get hold
Of his adversary's throat, and he tight
ened his grip until the engineers eyes
bulged from their sockets. Then he let
him go. Raum was almost dead. A
bucketful of water was dashed into his
face, and he revived sufficiently to drag
himself to the elevator and be hoisted
on deck.
Two hours later Fourth Engineer
Peters came down the stokerOom and
told Wagner that one Of the mach1nists
wanted to see him. The fireman went
up to one of the coal bunkers, where
the machinist was said to be waiting.
Here Wagner was attacked by Peters
and knocked down and almost beaten
to death He says that the first blow
struck was by Peters, who hit him on
the right temple with brass knuckler,
in consequence Of which he almost lost
consciousness. Then the two fell upon
him mercilessly.
Wagner made no complaint to the
captain or any of the officers, believing,
he said, that he would not get justice
against superior officer. He went be-
fore United States Commissioner Shields
when the New York came into port and
swore out warrant against the two
engineers setting forth the facts related.
They were arrested by United States
Marshal Jacobus and Deputy Marshal
Solomon. Their examination was post
poned until June 23.-New York World.

A Boston Fad.

One of the luxuries of a very recent
birth is the physician for the hair. In
Boston he is one Of the most popular of
the medical fraternity in town, and a
woman can hardly be in the fashionable
set without falling into the hands of
this really charming man. If she goes
to the most fashionable hairdresser and
shampooer in town, it will not be even
her second visit which will make her
acquainted with what the scalp special
ist can do for her hirsute adornment,
and if she meets the fashionable doctor
first her vsiit to the hairdresser and
shampooer is only deferred. 1t makes
no difference whether she begins with
the doctor or the shampooer-she is sure
to see the other at once.-Boston Jour-
