The Eagle Wing is owned by William

New Jersey Yacht Club. In company
with the sloops Charm and Spray she
left the boat house, foot of Tenth street,
Hoboken, Saturday week for a fishing
cruise up the Shrewsbury River. Com
modore Sherman did not accompany the
excursionists and the duties of sailing
master devolved upon Captain James
Danson Of New York.
Leaving the Charm and Spray anchored
off Locust Point yesterday morning the
Eagle Wing turned its nose homeward.
Captain Dauson is an experienced yachts
man and kept his weather eye cooked for
squalls, but the sky overhead was so
clear that no one on board expected Wiur
followed. without warnirga squall broke
UP on the frail craft and began pitching it
about the waves like a chip. The MAIN
sail was set and THE combined efforts of
the crew could not haul it down or
bulge the boom an inch.
The Eagle being pitched madly a while
and was then taken up and riven at a
terrific gait before a wind blowing over
twenty miles an hous The expected

of the crew. reported that all hands on
board suffered heavy loss in the way of
clothing. jewelry and other valuables.

Horseshoe, where she still lies with her
shining kkeel blinking in the sun.

macetI Cove Life Saving Station reported
the accident to the marine observer at
Sandy Hook, and that was how It was
first learned. Details concerning it were
still scarce in Hoboken today. as none OF
the crew would be seen by reporters,

HITCH OF GROVE STREET STEPS
Erie VIII Not Pay For Those the
New Plans Make Necessary.

Counselor Charles l.. Corbin represent
ing the Erie Railway Company, and
Street and Water Commissioners Nolan,
Heintze and Sullivan held a conference
at the office of the Street and Water
Board Saturday afternoon relative to the
payment of cost for the erection of four
change in the original plans for the de-
preston of Grove street under the Erie's
elevated structure.
Mr.. Corbn pointed out the fact that
the railway company had generously
agreed to pay the cost for depressing the
street, when it was not compelled to do
so Its agreement, however was to de-
press also the sidewalks Such a howl
was made by property owners interested
concerning the depression of the side
walks that the original plan was aban-
doned and it was decided to leave the
sidewalks at grade and make the roadway
depression two and half per
cent. grade instead Of five per
cent grade as originally agreed upon.
Leaving the sidewalks at grade necessi-
tates the erection of four flights of steps
leading from the roadway to the side
walks on each of the corners at Tenth
and Eleventh streets Mr.. Corbin de-
clared it was not fair to put the company
to this additional expense. when IT had
offered to do the work Of depressing the
street gratudtously.
Some of the Commissioners argued that
the difference in the cost of depression
with sidewalks left at grade would almost
pay for the steps, but Mr. Corbin did not
think so. AS the company refuses to erect
the steps. the Commissioners, in view Of
the fact that the company IS doing work
of depression Of the roadway at it's own
expense. will make no effort to compel it
to do so.
