ADRIFT 40 DAYS IN A SAIL BOAT.
UNCONSCIOUS WHEN FOUND.

On July 10 John Trask and Edgar
Davidson left Apalachcola, Fla, in a
boat sixteen feet long for few days
fishing. From that time until August
goth nothing was heard of them and
they had been given up as lost. In
the afternoon Of August aoth, Sam
Johnson, a negro fisherman, was about
three miles off from st. Petersburg,
Fla, in his skiff when he noticed
boat half mile away from which
something white was flutterlng. Inc
negro rowed TO the boat, and was
horrihed to find two men in 1t lying
face downward and seemingly dead.
Johnson towed the boat ashore as
rapidly as possible, and physicians
were summoned. Examination show
ed that the men were not dead, and
after several hours work they we're
resuscitated. Trask and Davidson
tell horrible story of their sufferings
since leaving Apalachicola on Iuly 10.
On July IS they were caught by
storm and their boat driven far out in.
to the Gulf. The mast was broken
and they were at the mercy of the
waves. They had no compass and
they drifted hither and thither. Their
stock of provisions and water was
small, and though they husbanded it
carefully week ago the last parcel of
bread and drop of water was gone.
According to Trask, the suffering
affected Davidson's mind, and he
made several attempts to jump into
the gulf. Trask finally lashed his
companion to one of the seats of the
boat. Sharks, too, followed in the
wake Of the castaways, cycling them
greedily. -Four days ago Trask lost
consciousness, and he knew no more
until he was revived by the doctors.
Before Trask lost consciousness he
tied a portion of shirt to the broken
mast, and this attracted the negro's
attention. The men are in terrible
condition, physically, and Davi1son's
mind seems still affected. Their flesh
has been almost cooked by the sun,
a, and their eyes seem ready to burst
from the sockets.
On Davidson's arm the doctors
found the imprint of teeth, and they
think that while the man was dying
of thirst he tried to assuage it by suck
ing his blood. Similar imprints were
found on Trask's arms, but he says he
does not remember biting himself,
though he thinks 1t likely, as he ad-
mits his terrible thirst crazed him
The men are nothing but skin and
bones, but with proper care they will
recover. Atpresent they are too weak
to lift their arms. Trask is said to
be from New York, while Davidson is
a native of Ohio.

WALKED OFF A MOVING TRAIN.
JULIUS LINDEGREN's TERRIBLE Ex-
PERlENCE IN wYsoX SATURDAY
NIGHT.

Julius Lindegren, the piano tuner
who often visits Towanda, had terri
bic experience Saturday night, and
one he will not care to take again.
He was a passenger on train twenty
three, which reaches East Towanda
ut 0;2o in the evening. After the
trair had left Wysox station, the
brakeman woke Lindegren up and
told him the next stop was East
Towanda.
Mr.. Lindegren gathered up his bag
gage, consisting of satchel and cane,
walked to the rear door of the coach
and stepped off the train, which at
that time was running over forty miles
an hour. At East Towanda, the con-
ductor reported the accident to the
station agent, and he in company with
others secured lanterns and went in
search Of Lindegren. About half
mile below the overhead bridge near
II. w. Mobiles residence, he was
seen walking on the track, with the
grip in his hand. His face and hands
were terrible lacerated, and he talked
in rambling manner.
AS soon as carriage could be Sc.
cured he was brought to the Ward
house and DR.. Johnson summoned.
Sunday morning after resting quietly
all night he was mnch better, and
talked nationally of the accident. He
supposed the train had reached East
Towanda and was standing at the
station when he left the car. His
physician says his injuries appear tc
he slight, and that he will probably be
all right in few days and able to be
around.
Officials of the Lehigh were down
early Sunday morning, and found hi:
hat, umbrella, pencil and watch neal
the track where the accident had oc
cured. 1t was indeed a miraculous
escape, and Mr.. Lindegren is to bt
congratulated that his injuries were
not OF more serious nature. 10
,odndd Reoieac.
Mr.. Lindegren is we'll known here
and has many customers in this sec
ton.

A DEVOTED MISSIONARY REMEN
BERED.

On Sunday evening memorial SER
vice will be held in the Lutheran
church, in honor of Mrs. d. A. Day,
who for aI years has been with her
husband, laboring in the dark conti-
nent of Africa.
For some time Mrs. Day had been
suffering from African fever, which
the physicians could not control, and
1t was found the only hope was to
leave Africa and come to America.
She arrived last June, her husband re-
naming at his post, trusting that her
native atmosphere would restore her
broken health. But it was too late.
She continued 10 decline until August
10. when in the home of friends in
LewlsDurs, she passed to her rest.
Everything possible was done for
her recovery, even sojourn at Clifton
Springs, but nothing could avail.
Her body was buried at Miffiinburg
with all the honor and recognition the
church could bestow, large number
of ministers being present and taking
part in the services. Mrs. Day was a
member of the Susquehanna Synodi-
cal Woman's Missionary Society, and
1t is likely that all the churches in the
Synod will take some action with
reference to her death and burial.

Gas Discovered in Monroe County,

Never in the history Of Tobyhanna
Mills has there been SO much excite
ment in that place as was caused by
the discovery of natural gas. Edward
Daley and Charles Transue were en-
ployed by Charles Sherman to dig a
well about one hundred feet deep for
water. After several days Of hard
work they got down some seventy-fve
feet and struck flat rock that spread
all over the bottom. The men drilled
a hole some ten or twelve inches.
This they nearly filled with one
charge of dynamite and then applied
the match. The result of the ex-
plosion was heard all over Tobyhanna,
and was so effective in its work that ii
blew the rock clear out of the well.
After the explosion the men thought
they had water for sure, but instead
OF water they got most powerful
supply of natural gas. Already Sher'
man has received many offers for his
farm or share in the gas well.

perfect tranq utility reigns night ana day

business is usually a manifestation of
chronic dyspepsia, disorder to the re-

adapted In the general vigor begotten
of complete digestion and assimilation,
two functions aided by this auxiliary of

Gus people should use it steadily, not at

constipated, and those troubled with
malaria, rheumatism and kidney trouble,
also derive unspeakable benefit from it.
The aged and infrm find that it tends
greatly to lessen their physical troubles;

Allen G. Thurman's Memory.

"Among men Of remarkable memo
ries will give prominent place to the
Old Roman, Allen @. Thurman, said
Lawyer Mills. "To mention slight in
cident of his powers: When I was asso-
ciated with him in prosecuting what is
known as the tally sheet cases in Ohio,
was peculiarly impressed by the great
ness of Mr.. Thurman, by his strength of
intellect, profusion Of thought and mag
nifcent accomplishments as lawyer. I
was also greatly impressed by his fine
scholarship, and have this illustration
Of the accuracy of his learning: While
one Of the attorneys engaged in the case
referred to was addressing the jury he
professed to make quotation from
Shakespeare-'to make assurance doubly
sure. Mr.. Thurman, with affected in
dignation, turned to me and said, I
thought he used to be a schoolmaster.
said, Yes. We'll, in that case, he
said, he ought to know better. Shake
speare never said that What do you
mean, judge?' asked in surprise. i
mean, said he, that Shakespeare never
wrote "make assurance doubly sure. y
What he wrote was "make assurance
double sure" myself had doubts as
to the correctness Of this criticism, but
afterward verified it by examining the
standard editions of Shakespeare. -
