Two Men Are Thrown ont of Boat and
Are Rescued by the Wilmington Police.
Paul Ryder and Charles Hayes, two
residents Of Hollyoak, while rowing in
the Delaware river Friday afternoon,
came near losing their lives, but by
the fortunate presence OF the Whining
ton police they were rescued from
drowning.
The men were rowing about the river,
when suddenly the boat was over
turned near the mouth of the Chris
tiana and both were pitched headlong
into the water.
They succeeded in reaching the over
turned boat, and clung to il until the
tug Meteor, which was coming to
Wilmington, came alongside The tug
had been chartered by Marshal Lannan,
who, with his deputies and squad OF
police, were bringing the Cubans
which had been captured at Penn Is
Grove TO this city. The men who were
struggling in the water were taken on
board the tug by the police and mar
shals and brought to this city. They
were both found to be drunk, and the
accident was evidently due to their
inability to take care OF the boat
When the craft upset the anchor fell
and the boat was held by it. 1t was
left in the river and it is presumed
somebody came along and rowed it off

natural one. Mr.. Taylor was the special
friend of the late William H. Wander

The great fortune of Miss Vanderbilt

Mr., Taylor. He is the second son of
Henry A. G. Taylor, and his inherit
ance came from his grandfather, Moses
Taylor, one of the most successful and
respected old-time merchants.
Miss Gertrude Vanderbilt is the eedest

Vanderbilt and one of the worlds
richest heiresses. She is pretty and
attractive, slightly above the medium
in height and slender. Her complexion
is fair, her features small and regular,
her eyes gray, and her hair brown and
abundant.
Mr.. Taylor was graduated from Yale
University in the class of '93, and be-
longs to the KnickerboclSer and Metro

enthusiast in all athletic outdoor sports
and had become expert at polo this

The pilgrimage of st. Johns Com
mandery, Knights Templar, to Boston
last week was extremely pleasant. Gen.,
j. Parke Postles stated Monday night
that the commandery never made a
pilgrimage that was enjoyed more and
never was the recipient of more kind
ness and attention.
The Sir Knights arrived in Boston
at midnight on Monday, four hours
late, but Notwithstanding the long
delay their host, William Parkman
Commandery, Of East Boston, was wait
ing to receive them and escort them to
their headquarters, the Maverick
House. Coachesewere provided for the
ladies who accompanied the Sir
knights. Despite the unreasonable
hour the streets were thronged and
when the First Regiment Band struck
ur 'DiXie" the multitude became
wildly enthusiastic.
Tuesdays chief event was the NAM
moth parade. st. Johns Commandery
had the right of line and was escorted
to its position by William Parkman
Commandery. 1t paraded early and
got through early and at O'Clock it
lunched with its host. That evening
the Sir Knights and the ladies' visited
other Communicates.
