after Humphrey Marshall. Or maybe he
was after us. I'm not certain. Anyhow,
we had passed through a country where
the women were proverbially ugly We
had passed hundreds during the day, and
generally they called us Yanks, or any
old name to make us mad. But we never

"But some of the boys got ratified after
a while n concluded to fire a yolley

STORY OF DEATH IN OCEAN.
Rather Than swamp the Boar. the
Crew Stared on the sinking ship.

Crew stayed on the sinking ship.
A sad story of death in the ocean and
the noble devotion of a captain n some
of his crew was received here today when
| the steamship Antwerp City arrived up
| with twelve shipwrecked men on board,
| the sole survivors of the crew of the bark
| Magnhild, which was lost off Newfound-
land.
On the ninth instant the bark Magnhild,
of Christiania, Captain Tolefsen, a wood
en- vessel of 1.461 tons, sailed from Phila-
| delphia with a cargo of 1880 tons of an
thracite for this port. For thirty years
| she and her captain Ave been regular
visitors here. Up to the morning of the
twenty-irst she experienced fair weather,
but on that day. when about seventy miles
north of the Bird Rocks, off N~ewfound-
| land, she encountered a dense fog, and
the vessel lay to.
Soon afterward a heavy wind from the
| southeast raised a big sea and she rolled
heavily. Being caught in the trough of
the sea, the cargo shifted, and the vessel
| turned over on her lee side, being thrown
upon her beam ends. The water came
half way up the deck, and, as a last re-
sort. the masts were cut away, but in
their fall they crushed two of the boats
and ripped up the decks. Soon the water
entered the opening and the wet anthra-
cite. as slippery as ice. went even more
to leeeward.
The captain. considering the position
perilous, ordered the l%ongboat, which was
upon the house and was the only sound
boat left, to be launched. The men were
all upon the house, and twelve of them
entered the BOAT. When they were seated
the captain refused to embark, and re-
marked to the other FIVE, which included
the first mate. The boat will swamp if
we go on board. and we may as well die
here as anywhere" Seeing that the dam
ger became every moment more immi-
nent, the boat was reluctantly pulled off
under command of the second mate.
Ten minutes later the Magnhild gave a
heavy lurch and slowly disappeared. The
first mate was seen by the boats crew
clinging to a large hatch, and an effort
was made to reach him. The wind, how
ever. was too heavy. and they drifted
apart, and soon were separated.
This occurred at one p. M. and for
t~wenty-four hours the boat tossed about
at the mercy of the waves. Then the
steamship Antwerp City. which was run
ming before the wind, sighted her and
picked up the men. turning the boat
adrift. Although some of the crew hope
that the mate may yet be picked up,
others are sure he was swept off the
hatch. Moreover, the officers of the Ant
werp City think that other vessels usually
pass too far out to even run across them.
The steamers crew state that the long
boat, which was the longest of any of her
whole eighteen men, but the captain did
not want to risk the lives of the twelve
men in it. The missing men who, is is
tain Tolefsen, First Mate H. A. Hansen,
Steward Hans Wickner, Cook Wilhelm
Jarsensen, Able Seaman Elex Sjorgren
and Carl Carpenter. Survivors have been
taken charge of by the Norwegian Consul
here. Mr.. Schwiuter.-Montreal Gazette.

THOSE BOULEVARD M
Many Accidents the Result OF Last
Night3R Darkness.

Those unreliable electric lamps which
grace the Boulevard that popular road
of Hudson County, failed to show the
the light of their c-ountenances last even
ing, and as a result the road was dark as
dungeons. The lights went out about
eleven o'clock Monday evening and last
evening they failed to him at all. These
lights when at their best are very poor
n do not light up the roadway half
enough. Besides every other lamp on the
road fails to light and the citizens and
wheelmen have to kick the pole on which
the lamp is fastened before the light
bursts forth.
A crowd of youngsters every evening
make it a practice of running from pole
to pole in Greenville and kicking them to
make the lamps burn. This shows that
the lamps are defective or else why do
they do not light?
The state of darkness about four nights
each month is really becoming monoto-
nous. 1t plainly shows that the county
needs another engine in the power house
which can be used when that now in use
breaks down. At present when the en-
CINE in the power house at Snake Hill
breaks down, the road has to stay dark
until the damage is repaired. be it ever so
long. Another engine is the County
needs and that badly.
There were any amount of accidents on
the Boulevard last evening on account of
the darkness, although not of a serious
character. From the Morris Canal bridge
in Bayonne, to Bartholdi place the bed
rock on the road is exposed, and is in
a very dangerous condition. 1t was at
this point that several tires were pune
tured by the sharp stones. Charles Har-
ris, of West Sixth street, Bayonne, while
riding near Danforth avenue collided with
a carriage and was thrown from his
wheel. His right arm was cut otherwise
he escaped unhurt. His wheel was wreck
ed. At Bidwell avenue a young lady was
thrown from her bicycle by running over
a large stone. She was also fortunate to
escape unhurt. These are only a few of
the many little accidents which resulted
from the darkness, for cyclists all along
the line were complaining of punctured
tires, at the same time giving the Board
of Freebooters a good raking over for the
darkness, which is a great drawback to
cycling in this county.

TRIED A NEW DRINK.
And Were Victimizad by the Farmer
Who Eurni.hed the Core Cider.

eSome of us fellows that think we know
all about soft drinks are just about as
liable to go against the wrong one as
rank outsiders are" The man with a

ton, took a gulp of his mixed tipple and
proceeded witt the story.
zone Sunday before there was much
baseball playing on that day allowed, I
picked up a club of mixed players, an
other chap did the same and we sneaked
into a back township to play a match for
$100 a side. The thing was kept SO quiet
that there was not more than half a
dozen spectators. Among t0em was a
big farmer-looking fellow with a fog horn
voice and what he called cider from the
core. You don't know what this is, hey?
Well, neither did up to that time. But,
compared with it, brandy is as new milk.
In the winter you freeze the cider. In the
centre of the barrel there is left the pure
spirits which resists the cold. This you
draw off and you have core cider.
ut was good and we took plenty of it.
When it cam time to call the game we
put the money into the old nan hands.
Having the umpire fixed, I was feeling
pretty good and made several side bets.
My boys were first to bat and for a time,
being keyed up on the cider, they batted
like fiends and we had fifteen runs in

best. Then there was chaos. Players
were chasing balls, three men were try
ing to bat at once, and the umpire was
singing Annie Rooney then in ner in,
fancy. The sun was never brighter than
at three o'clock in the afternoon, and
there wasn't a cloud in the sky when the
umpire called the game on account of
darkness and thickly proclaimed that
my team had won on points. We all
agreed with him that it was too lark to
play and lay down in the broiling sun to
rest When ] came to the farmer was
the stake money and so were eight or
ten watches. He did with core cider what
he couldn't have done with a gun. I'd
