SUNK AT THE WHARF
The Steamer E. A. Halves Went Down
This Morning With a Crew Of Ten
Men on Board-They All Escaped.
The Boilers and Cargo Went to b
Bottom of the River

This morning about 8 O'Clock the
wharf at the foot Of Chestnut
street, met with a peculiar mishap.
While her crew was asleep on board
they were awakened by the lurching OF
b boat and they Immediately rushed
out ON deck 20 find that the boat vas
filling with water and was going down.
Before they could all get off on the
wharf, she kceled over with her house
and deck odt towards h channel.
The pilot did not get off in time. but
he swan to the wharf and was pulled
ashore by the assistance of others of the
crew.
When the steamer keeled over on her
side, her boiler pitched from its station
out Of the boat and went to the bottom
of the river. The cargo Of cotton seed
and over 300 barrels OF rosin also went
overheard and floated ava or sank.
The crew consisted Of ten men, in
Guiding Captain Irwin Robinson, Mr..
Frank Creel, the engineer, n eight
colored deck hands. It is marvellous
how they all escaped, when the acct
dent occurred at the unusual hour it
did.
The cause Of the accident is not
known, but it Is supposed that the
steamer Sprang aleak and filled with
water, causing her to loose her balance.
Captain Robinson says hat a half
hour before h lurched and went over
he went through the steamer and that
she then had no water in her that he
could notice. The steamer had arrived
last night about 8 o'clock from a trip
up the North East river.
The Halves belongs to the Black
River Packet Company, and as Mr.. D.
McEachern is largely interested in the
company, he was telephoned about the
accident. He came dawn, and inquired
into the accident and looked after the
steamer but could do very little.
The Halves was not insured for such
an accident as happened to her. The
vessel did not sink, as her superstruct-
ure and cabins kept her afloat
on her side after her boiler and cargo
went overheard.
The men on board lost all their be-
longings but as they are in the steamer
it is supposed they will be recovered.
Some of them barely got out in their
underclotheS.
The damage will probably be more
than a 81, 600. The steamer will nave
to be u~p-righted and repaired, and
considerable expense will be incurred
in raising h boiler.

Bell for Second Advent Church

At the annual congregational meet
ing of h Second Advent church on
last Friday night, Elder ]. P. King,
was reelected pastor. Mr.. w. j.
Reaves, treasurer, and Mr.. George H.
James, secretary.
The meeting was one of the largest
and most successful in the history of
the church The reports of the Off
GERS We're received and all showed
marked progress the past year. having
been the most successful in the history
Of the church. More money was raised
for the pastors salary, for the support
of visiting evangelists and for other
purposes than in any previous year
This church has recOllected Elder ].
P. King as pastor for the year of 1901,
and proposes to do something that will
max the beginning of the new CEN
fury ring in his ears MIR. King has
been a servant Of this church for nearly
thirty years and after his reelection
Friday night. he threw I'll a bold
hint that is going to be acted upon.
He announced h a the church must
have a bell, and ~thereupon the follow
ing committee was appointed ITO set
on foot a movement to carry out the
suggestion: Messrs. w. J. Reav IS,
chairman, George H. James, G. G..
Price, Preston Cumming IN EbeIi
Horton. They propose ITO raise the
necessary funds to purchase the bell.
and we heartily commend their endea-
vors. as a bell has been a long felt
want for the southern part of the city,
for among all he white congregations
south of Market street there are only
two church bells. One Of these is in
significantly small, to say the least Of
it. and the fact hat there are only
two bells among the various white
churches in that part of the city is not
very fiattering to the thousands of
Christian people that live in that quar-
ter.
Mr.. King deserves this encourage
ment, for his unflagging service in that
part OF the city has been of inestimable
benefit to the moral and spiritual de-
velopment OF it's youth. He has one
of h largest congregations in the city
the membership being $50. The Sum
day school has $50 pupils and is doing
a good work among the children.
The committee appointed to raise
i.nos 30 ourohase the bell wiz be glad
to receive donations from those dis
posed to help in the ause. The COM
mittee proposes to frame h names of
all donors and hang the roll in the
vestibule of the bell when the
bell is put UP.
