Eighteen Miles OFF Key West and the
Vessel is Capsized-only Four Persons of
All Those on Board Are Saved-The Cap
tain's Three Children Lost.
Key West, Fla, March 3.-The
schooner Speedwell, Captain Collier,
from Marco, Fla, for Key West, was
struck by squaIl to-day while off
Marquesas, eighteen miles from here,
and capsized. Nine persons were
drowned out Of thirteen, all told on
board. The victims, We're the three
children of Captain Collier, George,
Tom and Wilbur, aged respectively
four, six and eight years, and the en-
tire Nichols family, Bradley Nichols
and his wife, their son and the lat
ters wife, and two grandchildren. The
family was from Bridgeport, Conn.
Those saved are Captain Collier, Sam
uel Gates and Jesse Green, deckhands,
and r. w. Bates Of Marco, Fla, pas
senger. The Nichols family is said to
have been well-to-do. All had been
staying for month or two at small
hotel kept by Captain Collier at Mar
co, and they were on their way home.
The survivors say that the Speed
well, which was small vessel of about
twenty-five tons, was making slow
headway this morning against head
wind. About o'clock Captain Collier
was at the wheel and the Nichols fam
lily and the Collier children were in the
cabin asleep. Suddenly a squall came
up. Gates and Green rushed to take
in sail. As the. jib tapped loose the
squall caught the schooner and blew
her clean over on the port side. Col
lier, the deckhands and Bates were
swept into the seething sea, but caught
the rigging just in time to save them
selves. The wind, rain and surges
drowned the dying cries of the impris-
oned Nichols family and the Collier
children. The men lashed themselves
to the rigging. After being there for
three hours the sea subsided. Then
they cut themselves loose and bailed
out the boats and rowed to Marquesas.
Captain Collier has been sailing now
for twenty-five years in these waters
He is not to blame for this awful thing.
"The squall came suddenly from the
west" said Bates. "Old Mr.. Nichols
was the only one to get out of the
cabin I guess he was washed out, for
after young Mrs. Nichols waved her
hand at me I saw what I thought was
the coat of Mr.. Nichols floating. We
did not see a thing Of the children or
hear cry. We had to bail with the
hat all the time we were in the dingy
and often came near being swamped. !"
Soon after being brought into port
Captain Collier and Jesse Green went
out on a yacht, accompanied by a div
er, to try and recover the bodies.

TRIAL OF NEW TORPEDO BOATS.
The Gwin and Talbot Exceed Their Con.
tract Speed.

Bristol, r. l., March 3.-The two new
government torpedo boats, the Gwin
and Talbot, just completed by the
Herreshoffs, were given their official
speed trial in Narragansett bay to-day
and exceeded their contract speed, the
former making an average of 20.9 knots
per hour and the latter I'll. The COM
pany figures that as the Gwin had been
in the water ten days, this would ac-
count for the difference in the speed
between the two boats. The Gwin's
engines made an average of 430 revolu-
tions and the Talbot's 422. The naval
board, consisting of Captain Frederick
Rodgers, Chef Engineer C. Rolcker and
Naval Constructor j. F. Hanscom, all
expressed themselves as much pleased
with the performance of the boats. The
board will remain in Bristol for a day
or two to receive the tidal returns and
examine the boats more closely.

FIVE srEAmERs FROM ALAsKA.
That British Flag 10 Raised
on Doubtful Territory.

Seattle, Wash, March S.-Five
steamers arrived from Alaska to- day
the Utopia, Hueneme, Del Norte, Pro-
lection and Queen. The Queen brought
last Sunday. The most important news
was a confirmation of reports that q
Canadian official has raised the British
flag on what is regarded at least as
doubtful soil, and trouble with long
shoremen Is feared ON account of the
employment of Indians at the docks.
The presence of United States troops
alone prevented serious trouble. A
compromise was made with the white
men to perform the work at so cents
per hour. Last summer the boundary
line was at Lake Bennett, then at Lin
dermann and now at the summit Of
the mountains, which is only twelve
miles from salt water.
Two days before the Queen left Skag-
uay the wind, which had blown from
the north continuously for several
weeks, shifted and began to blow from
the southwest. The change in the
weather caused hundreds of people,
who had been detained by the severe
cold, to start over these trails from
both Skaguay and Dyea, and when the
steamer left a general exodus from
both towns were taking place. Both
trails are reported In excellent condi-
tion. On the trip down the Queen
passed the Cottage City a short dis
tance south of Wrangel Narrows. The
latter ships bow was smashed in and
covered with canvas to keep out the
water. The ship Lucille, bearing the
government party northward, was
spoken by the Queen near Kennedy Is
land and reported all well on board.
ottawa, Ont, March 3.-When shown
dispatch stating that representatives
from Skaguay had confirmed the re-
port that the British flag had been
raised at Summit Lake, also that the
Canadian government intended estab-
fishing a custom house at Crater Lake,
both places being in dispute, Minister
of the Interior Senton said tonight:
'This is an old story revived. There
is a Canadian custom post at Summit,
but it is not in disputed territory Tbe
British flag was not being raised and
customs posts Were not being estab-
lished in disputed territory"

Philadelphia Banks to Merge.

Philadelphia, March 3.-The directors
of the Seventh National bank have de-
cided to go into liquidation and to
merge the business with that of the
Fourth Street National bank The
bank is perfectly solvent, but owing to
poor business of late it was considered
best to close UP it's affairs. The Sew
enth National bank is one of the Oldest
banks in the city. Its capital was re-
duced several years ago from $3.50, 900
to 5000 600.

SENSATION IN WARSAW.
Due to Prohibition Of Celebration In Homo
of Polish Poet. -

of q Polish Poet.
Berlin, March "a dispatch to the
Lokal Anzeiger from Warsaw says the
police have prohibited all festivities in
connection with the centenary of the
birth of the Polish poet, Adam McKieS
wicz. The prohibition has made q
great sensation. McKiewicz, the Polish
poet, was born in 1898 and died in
1855. In 1928 appeared his "Konrad
Wallenrod, a poem describing the bait
ties of knights Of the Teutonic order
with the heather Lithuanians. Here,
under a thin veil, he represented the
sanguinary passages of arms and burn-
ing hatred that had characterized the
long feuds of the Russians and Poles.
The objects Of the poem escaped the
Russian censors. With his Pan Ta-
deuscz," usually considered his master
piece, it did much to stimulate the eff
forts of the Poles to shake of their
Russian conquerors.

LONG-BoUrE11E CONFERENCE.
Naval Bill Under Advisenent, Also Matte
of Additional Men,

Washington, March "a conference
was held between Secretary Long and
Representative Boutelle, chairman of
the house naval committee, to-day. 1t
proved to be in reference to the regu-
lar naval bill and had no connection
with the emergency measures. Mr..
Long said they had gone over the ques-
tion of docks, equipment, ETC., as pro-
vided in the regular bill Captain
Crowninshield had been called in to
discuss the matter of additional men
and apprentices, which had been rec
commended. In no sense the secretary
said, had emergency questions come
up. There was no need of considering
them now, he said, as no doubt existed
that congress would act promptly
should any emergency arise requiring
supplies beyond those of the regular
appropriations bills.

Centuries ago, people used to
fear what they called the pesti-
lence. "Black Death" was the
most terrible thing in the world
to them. They feared it as peo-
pie now fear the cholera and
yellow fever. And yet there is a
thing that causes more misery
and more deaths than any of
of these. It is so common that
nine-tenths of all the sickness in
the world is traceable to it. 1t
is merely that simple, common
thing constipation. 1t makes
people listless, causes dizziness,
headaches, loss of appetite, loss
of sleep, foul breath and distress
after eating. The little help
needed is furnished by DR..
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. One
pill is gentle laxative and two
a mild cathartic. Once used
always in favor. If you are care
less enough to let an unscrupu-
lous druggist sell you something
on which he makes more money,
it is your own fault if you do not
get well. Be sure and get DIR.

THE OGG POND PICNIC
War and Romance Mingle In Its
Celebration

Several hundred people gath
cred yesterday under the trees
that constitute natural park
that make the vicinity of Hog
Pond an ideal picnic ground.
But to dip slightly into history,
it is said the word Hog is a cor
ruption of Ogg and that it's
name is linked with very inter-
esting incident connected with
the Seminole war, in which a
teamster, carrying paymaster's
strong box, containing $50, 900 In
gold, hid the treasure and aban-
doned the team and later, with
his companions, came back and
exhumed the treasure and had a
high old time disslpating with
their I'LL gotten gains.
The other version is that an
old settler by the name of Jun
Hall, knowing of the hide, secured
it, for all at once he blossomed
into a married man, with plenty
of gold to pay his debts and sup
ply his material wants, when it
was noticeable, that up to that
time Jun never had a l6 to l in
his pocket from one year to
another.
The last incident TO this buried
wealth, is that Green Hodge, a
year ago, i'm connection with u
Mr.. Pitts, spent a month in pros
pecting around Ogg Pond with a
rod and never struck the strong
box containing the shekels, which
the dishonest United States
teamster had secreted. In con-
nection with Green Hodges
search, he entered into a cores
pondence with the war depart
ment at Washington, which
many letters passed, but Archie
McIver, who read the interesting
correspondence, says there is no
record in the war department
showing that an army paymas-
ter, during the Seminole war in
Florida. was short $50, 900, be-
cause of the acts of a dishonest
tealnster; and is inclined to be-
lieve the narrative is a myth.
Be that as it may, the story is
concurrent and is told and re-
told by the people of that section
with sense of it's truthfulnesS,
that leaves no doubt in the mind
of the hearer. But to get back
to the picnic. 1t was one Of the
most sociable gatherings we ever
attended; there were probably
several hundred persons present,
made up mostly of the people OF
Blitchton and the Standard
mines. Probably the most in
teresting feature of the day was
the presence. of Archie Mclver' =
educated monkey "NemO, .
whose entertaining antics de-
lighted the young and greatly
amused the older ones. To see
him eat ice cream with a spoon,
chatter his teeth at the chill the
CONCEALED substance gave him
and rub his stomach to neutralize
the unexpected cold wave that
passed "lnards' would have
caused a brass monkey to grin. In
the twinkling of an eye, the
amusing cuss loosened his chain
and climbed Il tree. To get him
down was the question. CoaXing
only made him climb the higher
and when two boys with ascend
ing procllvlties, sought his cap
ture, he grimaced a sardonit
grin that caused the anxious
lockers on to reciprocate.
Uncle Jun Carter and Squire
Hodgens and others desired Gen
eral Bullock and others te
crate for the edification Of the
picnickers, but the monkey show
