Official Reports From stations on
North CaroIina's Coast.
The Life Saving Bureau received reports
yesterday OF the wrecks along the North
Carolina coast, reported in press despatch
es Tuesday night, but the official reports
are coming In slowly owing, presumably.
to the fact that wires are down. There
are twenty-six life saving stations from
Cape Henry to Cape Lookout, and these
stations are connected by wire from Cape
Henry to Oeracoke Neck. All the wrecks
reported in the press dispatches occurred
along this stretch of coast. but only four
kilograms relating to the situation have
reached Acting Chief Pike, and the infor-
nation they contain is not complete.
Lieut.. Charles Johnston was sent to Gull
Shoals station several days ago to investi-
gate the wreck of the schooner Aaron Shep-
pard, and a despatch from Elizabeth City
announced his arrival there. He has been
directed to investigate the Priscilla and
all other wrecks involving loss OF life from
Cape Henry to Cape Fear. The dispatches
received at the Life Saving Bureau are as
follows:

RUN DOWN BY A TRAIN.
Two Sisters and n Little Boy Killed
on Crossing.


Seabright, n. J., Aug. 23.-Three persons
were killed by the o'clock express at the
north crossing of the Central Railroad of
New Jersey near this place this evening.
The dead are: Miss Katie Louisa Terry,
twenty-five years DID, Miss Juanita Terry,
thirteen years old. Charles w, Trippe, jr.,
three years olds The Injured are: Mrs.
Charles w. Trippe; Junan Trippe, three
months old; Miss Louisa Faure, a nurse.
The Misses Terry, whose parents are dead,
live with their sister, Mrs. Trippe, at 327
West Seventeenth Street. New York. They
have been spending the summer at the
cottage which adjoins the Rumsen Beach
Hotel. The Misses Terry, Mrs. Trippe, the
little boy, and the nurse and child started
for ride after lunch. When they reached
the north crossing, within a quarter of a
mile from their summer home, the north
bound local passed. The southbound express
was then coming, but on account of the
noise of the passing local nothing was
heard of the express until they were cross
ing the track, when the horse baked. The
next instant the train was upon them. The
horse was literally cut TO pieces and the
wagon smashed into thousand pieces,
while the occupants were hurled into the
air. Miss Juanita Terry and the child
were killed outright. Miss Louisa Terry
lived about fifteen minutes. The injured
are expected to recover.

Philadelphia. Pa, Aug. 23.-A peculiar
murder was committed here today. The
victim was a four-year- boy, the child
of John Wing, of 30 North Lodor Street.
The child was discovered at o'clock in a
lot by woman who was picking berries.
She took the child up, but, finding that
he was covered with blood. would have
nothing TO do with him, and walked sew
eral squares before finding Patrelman
Wrenn, to whom she told the story. He at
once sent for an ambulance and went for
the child. 1t was taken to the Presby-
terian Hospital.
The back of the boys head was crushed,
the neck being cut by the force of the
blow. Knotted around the throat wss a
dirty handkerchief, which was drawn SO

THE sHAMRocK's DRAFT.
1t Is Said to Be Two Feet More Than
Tint of the Columbia.

New York, Aug. 23.-The Shamrock
draws 22 feet of water. Her depths of hold,
according to her custom house certificate.
is Jos feet. Her free board is about feet
amidship; so she has a fin below her hull
proper of about Is feet. These figures are
based on information obtained taday from
a very reliable source. The informant did
not wish to be quoted, but said that he had
seen the docking plans for the yacht and
that they called for % feet, which was the
draft of the Shamrock. This makes the
challenger's draft two feet more than that
of the Columbia
1t was rather quiet day for the sailors
of the Shamrock. 1t was thought that the
steel racing mast would be stepped. but
Captains Hogarth and Wringe, after long
consultation, decided not to put the mast
in, and tonight were still undecided as to
when the spar would be put on board. 1t
will probably be some time tomorrow jf
the weather is favorable. The sailors.
however, had plenty to do. They worked
with a will and seemed much better than
they did in the heat of the two previous
days. DR.. Mackay reported that the men
who had been i'll were all on the convaI-
escent list and would soon be well again.
TWO more attaches of the fleet of Sir
Thomas K. Upton arrived on the Aurania
today, and were taken from the steamer 70
the Erie basin on the tug James A. Law
renee. They were William Crawford the
superintendent of the Fife yard at Fairlie
and an assistant named Fife The Aurania
also brought over several bales of sails for
the Shamrock. gang of men was at work
today getting the racing spars ready to be
put on board and another gang overhaulad
the rigging, some OF which was placed on
the deck OF the yacht, and Will be sent up
as soon as the mast is stepped. The super
intendent OF the drydock said today he
understood the Shamrock would not be put
in the dock until she had been completely
riggedr and it was very probable she would
not be hauled out until just before the
races. He said there would be no trouble
in docking the yacht in the big dock where
there is twenty-four feet of water. The
Erin was foated out of the drydock at $3.50
a. m. and went to Cummunipaw to coal.
after which she proceeded TO her former
anchorage, off Tompkinsville. Her topsides
are to be painted white and the yacht viii

PORTO RIeo's RELIEF WORK.
Denial That the Natives Refused
to Unload Supplies.


to Unload Supplies.
San Juan de Porto Rico. Aug. 23-The
press dispatches saying that the longshore-
men here refused Ito unload the transport
MCPHERSON, which brought the supplies for
the Porto Ricans made destitute by the hur-
ricane, were untrue. They had demanded
the. usual Sunday wages, which are twice
the weekday rate. When the situation was
explained to them they resumed work, some
declining any pay. Native soldiers of the
Porto Rican battalion volunteered to un-
load the supplies and the AiceIde of San
Juan. Sanchez Mo,ales, brought seventy
five volunteer laborers to assist.
The supplies are very welcome and will
be more needed in a few weeks. The dis
tribution boards are all we'll organized and
are working hard to relieve the needy.
