THE ESTELLE EXCURSION,
over $50 Persons Enjoy am Out
ing in South Jersey.

The last excursion of the season to
Estelle, N. J. given by D. L. Risley, the
real estate agent, left Philadelphia last
Saturday morning at $50 O'Clock by
special train over the South Jersey rail
road.
Over $50 excursionists were in the
party and after the train started it was
discovered that the large stock of provis-
ions which had been selected for dinner
was not on the train.
1t was too late then to go back and
see where the trouble was, SO the train
sped on until Estelle was reached. The
EstelIe stores were at once visited and
their stocks of goods depleted, but their
supplies were insufficient for so large q
crowd and messenger took one Of the
teams at the Station and hustled over
to Mays Landing, and bought a lot of
choice edibles and drove back-16 miles
in all just about the time the country air
had whetted the appetitis Of the visitors.
Several large tables were quickly set and
nobody left for home hungry when the
train started at 4 O'Clock. The bill of
| fare embraced oysters, celery, corned
beef, Clipped beef, lobster salad, potted
tongue, sausage, devilled ham, pickles,
cheese, cakes. plum pudding, pears,
peaches, bananas and coffee.
Most of the excursionists were Phil
| adelphians, some very prominent citi-
zens. One of New York's influential
soDs. ex-Mayor Callohan, OF Buffalo,
came with the party to see the eleven
acres he had bought on Third ave. He
was well pleased with his purchase.
On the trip down Mrs. Vandever, one
Of the most enthusiastic property own
ers in Estelle, took up penny collection
for the benefit oil the Estele church. The
amount secured was $5.7O.
1t is not likely that any more excur
sions will be on to EstelleA OF the 1906
farms there Mr. Risley has only about
100 unsold. These will be quickly dis
posed of and as most of the Estelle buy
ers will hold to their farms there willno
soon be any more property for sale ther,
-that ID, not at the old price.

1t was a grand success
How many people l can't tell
So you will have to guess
They came down on last Saturday
On special train
They certainly had a splendid day
There was no sign of rain.
They all went up to the place
Known as Hotel De Hatch
Then to the woods they did race
To see what they could catch.
The water they found was very fine
The soil was deep and good
The air was fragrant from the pine
And other kinds of wood,
And then to dinner they did go
Full and plenty was there
On the table it made a show
Placed neatly and care,
Dinner over; they we're full
The table did not look SO fine
We Estellians then bad pull
SO we all got up in line.
We send our thanks to Risley
And his merry handsome crew
An agent would surely be
Ii the way only knew.

The State Forced to Pay for the Appeal
Transcript-The Laws Delay.
CARRoLLToN, Mo-, Aug. 13.-Just
after the Taylors were sentenced by
Judge Rucker to be hanged October 4,
their attorneys gave notice of an APP
peal to the supreme court. Then the
two who were once considered among
the most promising men Of wealth in
Linn and Sullivan counties, presented
Rffidavits that they had no personal
property or real estate, and were abso-
lutely without the means to pay for
the necessary transcript.
Prosecuting Attorney Bresnehen
said that he knew that there were un-
satisfied judgments against the two
men in Linn county for 5000, and
the judge ordered the stenographer
and circuit clerk to prepare the trans
eript at the expense of the state. This
will cost the state between $500 and
$500.
The judge then granted stay Of
execution pending the appeal 1t is
expected that the case will be docket
ed at the November term of the SUI
preme court and that there will be a
decision next spring. Thus the Tay-
lors cannot be hanged at the earliest
before late next spring.

LOST BY THE TREASURY.
A Largo Sum Of Gold Has Been Exported
TO Europe.

W EuEOpos
WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-The treas.
hry yesterday lost 81, $50, 900 in gold
for export to Europe, leaving the re-
serve only about $1,SO0,OOO above the
800, 900, 900 point.
Mr. Curtis, the acting secretary, said
he had nothing to say in regard to
the matter. He had no specific i'm
formation and could not say whether
the syndicate would allow the $780,
900, 900 to be encroached upon or not.
None of the other officials would talk
In the absence of Secretary Carlisle.
This heavy withdrawal has given rise
to report that another bond issue is
impending, but there is no one in
Washington who can speak nuthorita-
lively on the subject, or who has in.
formation not shared by the public.
The best public opinion is that the
syndicate will not allow the reserve to
be encroached upon until after Octo-
Der l, when, as generally understood,
its obligation ceases. But even in the
event of still further Withdrawals, it
is believed that both Mr.. Cleveland
and Mr.. Carlisle would see the reserve
reach a point below any that it has
yet tonched before they would take
any steps to recoup it by another sale
of bonds or purchase of gold.

THE EIBE DISASTER.
FINDINGS OF THE ADMIR-
Atty COURT.
The Mate of the Crathle Held to Be
Mainly Responsible for the Awful Col
llslOn-Ohicer In Charge of the ElbO
Was Not Entirely Blameless.

BBEMER HAVEN, Aug. 13.-The adj
miralty court has rendered decision
to inquiry made into the sinking of the
North German Lloyd steamship Elbe,
in collision with the British steamer
Crathie, in January last. The court
holds that the blame for the collision
must be attributed to the mate of
the Crathie, who deserted his post inn
mediately before the occurrence and
went into the galley of the Crathie,
but says the officer in charge of the
watch Of the Elbe cannot, however, be
freed from the reproach that he
omitted to get out of the way of the
Crathie by a timely manipulation of
the helm, and failed to attract the at
tention of the crew of the Crathie by
signaling with the steam whistle.
In regard to the steps taken to save
life on board the Elbe, after the col
lision occurred, the court holds that
the orders given by Captain Van Cos
set, and executed by the officers and
crew of the Elbe for that purpose,
were deserving of praise.
Elbe foundered, the finding Of the
court says that it was not attributable
to defects in her construction, lack Of
seaworthiness or defects in the equip
ment, loading or manning of the ves-
sci, but solely on account of the dam
age occurring, which extended to the
water-tight compartments amldships,
80 that two of its divisions were
flooded.
As to the allegations made against
the commander of the Crathie, the adj
miralty court finds no ground for CEN
surfing him or the other navigators of
the Crathie; in regard to their omitted
attempts to save life after the collis-
ion, as the Crathie, according to the
findings, suffered such severe injuries
that there was justifable fear that
she herself would founder. In con-
clusion, the court finds that the con-
duct of the survivors of the crew of
the Elbe who were rescued by the
British fishing smack Wild Flower,
from an open boat, is deserving of
recognition, and that the rescue of
ship-wrecked people by the Wild
Flower merits the highest praise.
