UNABLE TO RELEASE HERSELF,


Two Tugboats Also Failed to Float the
Stranded Steamer.
Providence, K. L., April "a. The
steam or Chester W. Chaplin went ashore
about 8. l5 o'clock last night, as she
was feeling her way out from Provi-
dence, but it was several hours before
the news was received in this city. At
first, it was thought that the steamer
could release herself, as she was pro.
ceeding at slow speed but after sew
erai trials With reversed engines, the
efforts were discontinued, and two of
the steamers officers started in small
boat for Warwick Neck ligh thouse, on
the west shore of the bay, whence they
communicated with this city by tele-
phone.
As soon aa possible, two Of the
Providence Towhoat Go. Is tugs were
dispatched to the island. The Provi-
dence, Fall River x Newport Line also
sent the steamer Bay Queen from New
port TO take off the passengers, and to
render any other service possible. The
tugs took positions on either side Of
the Chaplin, and for several hours they
strained and pulled on the stranded
craft, but all efforts we're fruitless.
When 1T was seen that the steamer
would be delayed for some time, the
pas engers, who had suffered no dis.
comfort, and who had shown no evil
dence of panic, were informed that
they would be taken off. They we're
transferred to the Bay Queen and
brought to this city. A special train was
made up as speedily US possible, and
the travellers started for New York by
rail early today.

"ATTIC'S TREASURES.

To be Disposed of at Public Sale Next
November for the Benefit of the Della
ware Hospital.
Communicated
The iummage sale Of the Delaware
Hospital last year was so successful it
is little wonder that it has borne mani
fest fruit in making Wilmington rum
mage sale mad;' so one might think
by the announcements of similar sales
for different charities.
The manager of the Delaware Hos
pital announced in the papers last o.
tobsr that their sale would be an
annual affair, the first of a series
while the series" could reap such
financial SUCCESS. 1t was the intention
then to have the rummage sale at the
same time 10 October, but as sale of
a similar kind will be held the first two
weeks CT that month, it seems better
for both charities for the Delaware
Hospital to put its annual "rumulage
sale" a little later in the year. Novem-
her next will be the month in which
the committees of last year will keep
shop again amid an array of everything.
All things ancient and modern, good,
better and best, will be welcomed and
sold next November at the Delaware
Hospitals annual sale of ''attic trea-
sures."
Many things have already been sent
to Mis-. Charles q. Rumford, No. l401
Market street. and many more goods
are promised and are being kept for
this sale. Friends of the charity who
In the spring house cleaning wish to
get rid Immediately Of winter clothing,
furnitiira or nf tha tsfotaami, auar 40
cumulating, will please send word to
any manager of the Delaware Hospital
or to the hospital itself, and their gifts
will be sent for, with appreciation of
their kindly thought Of the institution.

A LITTLE HEROINE.
Josephine PriciSett Submits to an Opera
tion for the Sake of Another,

Josephine Pricisett Submits to an Opera
ton for the Sake of Another.
Josephine Priokett, the young
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. William s.,
Prickett of No. 1907 West Fourteenth
street. is little heroine. about three
days ago har little cousin, aged seven
years, was severely burned 50 badly
In fact, as to make it necessary to
engraft flesh from other human be-
ings, IN order. to save his life.
Learning of this, Josephine, OF her
own accord, offered to allow a portion
of her skin to be taken from her side,
and with a great deal of satisfaction
submitted to the operation. About
20 gratis were taken from her.
The child to whom the burning ACCT
dent occurred is Joseph Polk, son IF
the Rev. and Mrs. Samuel Polk of
Eddington, Pa He was preparing to
take a bath and had e. towel pinned
around his neck while taking off his
shoes He was sitting on the floor
between heater and lamp, when
the heat blew the towel over the lamp
and the towel caught fire. He tried
to put out the flames by rubbing the
towel against his body, which served
TO involve large portion of his body.
He was burned on the breast and
abdomen and right arm. Bits of
towel chung to his flesh. His father
rushed TO his aid In response TO his
Screams and tore the burning olcth
from him. Sone of his flesh came off
with the towel. Then Mr.. Polk hitched
up horse and drove for DIR. Stroup.
The next day he noticed that pieces Of
his boys flesh were on. the harness
where they had been transferred from
his hands when preparing to go for the
doctor.
So much of the body was involved
that it was necessary TO supply new
skin, and thus far about 100 CRAFTS
have been applied. About so have
come from the boys father. Miss
Amos of York, Pa, and Mr.. Ellis Of
Philadelphia as we'll as little josephine
Prickett of this city, all permitted the
ENGRAVING OF portions OF their skin
upon the injured child. His condition
continues very serious, but it is hoped
that the heroic efforts made will save
his life
