Drowned Man Identified as William NJ.
Storms, an Aged MuIatto,
The body of man was found floating

on Saturday afternoon by Walter Sibley,

believed that 1T was the body of Will
liam NJ. Storms, mulatto, aged 7s
years, who had been missing since the
previous Saturday. Stems boarded
with Harry Anderson, lib Orange
steet, aud from the description of the
dead man, said it tailed in every way
with Storms. A watch and other articles
were identified by Anderson as belong
ing to Storms. A small diamond stud
which Storms usually wore was not
found.
For several years Storms was sexton
of st. Andrews Church, which position
he left about a year ago. Recently be

is THE ROGERS WILL VOlOp
said THAT He Bound Himself Years Ago

Said That He Bound Himself Years Ago to
Leave His Property to Relatives.
Paterson, N. j., Dot. ID. What has
become OF the contract which it Ia said
the four brothers, Jacob S., Theodore,
Jason and Columbus Rogers of locomo-
tive building fame made in their life,
time binding them in the disposition of
their property When the will Of Jacob
s. Rogers was in dispute before Chan
nellor Magic the dissatisfied relatives
finally withdrew The caveats and their
counsel announced that litigation
would be started to enforce specific
performance of this contract. The rela-
tives are hunting high and low for it, as
it involves the disposition of sc, 900, 600.
Over 20 years ago, 1t is said, an agree
ment was signed by the four brothers,
in which they pledged themselves to
dispose of their properties at death to
members Of their own families and the
agreement was carried out BY Theodore,
Columbus and Jason. The agreement
provided only for the disposition Of the
bulk of the. property, and there was
nothing to prevent any of the brothers
from making minor requests to chart
ties or public institutions, but the
agreement was certainly bar to any
thing like the will of Jacob S. Rogers,
Who gave practically his whole estate
to the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
A number of relatives Of the four
brothers were aware Of the fact that
there was such an agreement. Jason
and Columbus Rogers referred to it at
different times and one or the other Of
them had tho instrument. 1t is believed
that it will be found somewhere in the
mass of papers lett by the three
brothers, for it is not believed that
Jacob s Rogers ever had the paper
after he signed it.
There is an intimation from one
source that the agreement was never
signed by Jacob S. Rogers. Ii certainly
does not seem probable that man as
strong willed and as eccentric would tie
himself down by any such agreement.
He always believed in the utmost lib
erty and it will surprise great many
should it be shown that he at any time
Of his life restricted himself in the dis
position of his property. 1T is asserted
that there are several witnesses who
saw the document and who will swear
that it bure the signature of all four OF
the brothers. A curious circumstance
which will tell in favor of the axecu.
tors is that only one copy of the docu-
ment was ever in existence. 1t would
/ be natural that each of the brothers
should have copy.

FATAL FOOTPRINTS IN SAND.

Tacoma, Wash, Oct. IA. The steam
ship Glenroy brings news from Hong
Kong that wreclxage has been found on
Bikar Island, small uainhabited stoll
of the Marshall group, which proves
that the British ship Manchester came
to grief there.
The Manchester, Capt. F. Clemens,
left New York loaded with kerosene
shipped by the Standard Oil Go. just
one year ago. Her destination was
Yokohama, but the ship has not since
been seen, shipping men agreeing that
she must have been lost in a typhoon.
Footprints and marks of two boats
keels on the sand, together with other
signs, make it certain that Capt.
Clemens, his wifs, two children and
crew had been on the island and, un-
able to find water, had pushed off
again.
Plainly marked in the sand were foot
prints of a woman and children. The
body of one sailor was found in a
sorubby growth of trees near shore,

The!Delaware College football team
played the strong Swarthmore eleven,
on the latter's grounds last Sa urday
afternoon and was defeated by the score
of 10 to 0.
Delaware started out with rush and
succeeded in keeping Swarthmore from
scoring in the first half. They were
light but quick, and ripped Swarth-
more's line up time and again. They
also held we'll, but were unable to stand
the strain and weakened considerably
in the second half. During the first
half Swarthmore played an unsatis-
factory game, being weak both on the
defence and offence. Plumbing was
also very prevalent. In the second half
Swarthniore took big brace and played
lively game. Stewart was twice
pushed over for touohdowns. For
Swarthmore, Stewart, Mannakee, Lip
pincott and Hall played we'll. Matthews
also made some pretty end runs. Jack

The Wilmington Steamboat Co.,
through Horace Wilson, vice. president, |.
filed a petition Friday in the United
States District Court, in Philadelphia,
asking Judge Mcpherson to make an
order limiting the liability of the COM
pany for damages arising from the ex-
plosion and burning of its steamer, the
City OF Trenton, on August 26th, last
The petition describes the steamer,
the accident and other features of the
case at length, and cites the fact that
eight suits for damages have already
been begun, and that others are con-
-templatee. The document states that
on the fatal trip up the Delaware River
there were on board about 100 pas
sengers, and a cargo of one burial
oasket and two boyes of lemons, and
that the amount of money received from
the passengers was only about $50, while
nothing was received for the freight.
In referring to the list Of victims, the
petition claims that 20 passengers and
four employees were either killed by the
explosion or drowned, and many persons
injured.
The limit OF liability the company
wishes fixed is an amount not to exceed
the value of the company g interest in
the steamer, as provided for in the acts
OF Congress OF June Goth, 1854, and
June 18th. 1885, The court is also re-
quested to make an order seeking due
appraisement, and the Payment of the
same into court, or for the giving OF
stipulation, with sureties, providing for
such payment whenever ordered by the
court, such amount TO be in place of
the steamer and for the benefit of all
claimants who shall establish thelia.
bility of the steamer or the company.
The court is then requested to name
commissioner and issue a monition to
the various plaintiffs in all suits and
all persons claiming damages. citing
Them 10 appear before the court and
establish due proof of their claims,
public notice to be given of the time
for such action. Ii liability is then
shown, the amount appraised is to be
distributed pro rata among the claim
ants who establish their claims.
The petition also mentions the fact
that the wrecked steamer City of ITEM
ton is now in possession of the United
States marshal, under an attachment
issued on the libel of James McJaulley,
who claims 1882 30 for towing and
pumping services rendered after the
explosion and burning of the vessel.
