healthiest and purest lives come from
those who do not eat meat before the

Potatoes, sliced thin and fried, are in

Cake clogs tho stomach. All rich

point, Brooklyn, died near this city this morning
from the effects OF injuries sustained by being
struck by the top OF n broken mast near Borden
town two hours earlier. Silas c. Edwards, the
proprietor of the hotol where Mitchell lived, has
just had built the sloop yacht Almeda. 1t was
built at st. Michael's, Md, and Mr.. Edwards,
with his vito and family, Mr.. Mitchell. Capt
John L. Tyler Of Eastport, Long Island, and
Thomas J. Dreher, a boatman. made up q party
to take the sloop to Brooklyn.
When the party reached Maryland the weather
was 30 bad that Mr.. Edwards sent his family
home by rail, and the others started on the Al.
media, When tho boat reached the lower Della
ware Bay the weather was SO rough that 1t was
decided to take tho inside course through the
canal from Bordentown TO New Brunswick and
into the Raritan Bay. Mules were procured to
tow tho boat from Bordentown, and the start
was made this morning.
Soon after leaving the flrst look north Of Bor-
dentown the mast OF the boat caught on the
limb of a trco overhanging tho canal and the
mast broke at the shrouds. Mr.. Mitchell was
sitting on the deck and tho broken mast struck
him on the back Of the head. knocking him sense
less. He regained consciousness after n time
and was apparently none the worse for the blow,

Trenton, Mr.. Mitchell was seized with a spasm
and was removed from the boat to the lock
tenders house and physicians were summoned.
Before they arrived he was dead.
| The body was sent to Poughkeepsie, where
Mitchell's mother lives.
Coroner Disbrow found but twenty-five cents
in Mitchell's possession. and he made inquiries
of the other members OF the party. They were
all surprised, as they said he had considerable
money but "a few minutes before he died and had
all the money for the party. On Wednesday
night, while lying at Bordentown, Capt. Tyler
was robbed OF $50 in cash, an indorsed check
for $50 on q New York bank, and a gold watch.
Capt. Tyler and Seaman Dreher were asleep on
the deck at the time.
Mitchell was So years old. He was born In
Poughkeepsie and was twice married. His first
wife died many years ago. and OF the second
wife he rarely spoke. An only son, who was on
the point Of graduating from a college when he
was 81 years old. was accidentally drowned.
Two years ago Mitchell moved to Brooklyn. He
was considered well to do. and often spoke of u
share Of a $50, 900 litigation he was interested
in. During the last few years Mitchell did not
do much law business.

Mr.. Breslin thought so well Of him that this
summer he brought him to Edgemere from his
Chicago hotel, the Auditorium, and installed
him as head bartender. He was not robust,
but he was considered q very good WINNER.
To-day the sea ran very high in a southwest
erly direction. About 4 o'clock in the after
noon, young Nugent put on his bathing suit
and appeared on the beach. A number Of the
guests had contemplated a bath in the surf. but
Life-saver Scofeld had warned them that it
was dangerous in the high sea that was run
not to go beyond the life lines.
Fifty persons or more watched Nugent, and
there weres many m on his agility and
grace as a swimmer. Presently the young man
was abreast OF the last pole supporting the rife nfe
he turned. Those watching him saw some
thing was wrong.
Nugent, too. His p~ractised eye told him that
the young man was struggling desperately in
the current he had warned him against.

to his two assistants as he sprang into the
water and started to swim toward the youth.
