Union Grange Meeting at Chelsea.

A union grange meeting was held
with Chelsea Grange at the chapel last
Saturday. Owing to the bad travelling
the attendance was not as large as
usual, but a most enjoyable day was
passed by those present. The meeting
opened at 1890 A. NJ. with c. X. Green,
master of Chelsea Grange in the chair.
After the opening services the ques-
ton (Which is the most profitable for
the farmer. to raise his grain or buy
it," was opened by Bro. j. Fl. Barton of
Windsor and a most interesting dis
cussion followed. At noon recess was
taken for dinner which was as usual
an excellent one and was done ample
| justice to by all.
At 1.3O p. NJ the following program
was delightfully."- rendered: Instru-
mental music by Miss Bernice Watson;
| reading, Mrs. Dora Lawrence; solo,
Mrs. A. l.. Hayes; reading. Mrs. Ellen
Green; solo. Mr.. Volunteer" Master
Earle Hayes. who was heartily encored
and responded by singing ''Baby's Lul-
aby." in a charming manner. This was
| followed by a short discussion on the
/ Ritualistic work of the grange, which
was very interesting and instructive.
The meeting closed at $50. all voting 1t
| a very happy occasion. The next meet
| ing will be held with Pittston Grange
the 1st Saturday in March.

| night, what vessels the men who lost
| their lives came from. They might
have been on either the barees towed
by the tug Richmond. reported as pass
ing without tow Block Island bound
for Newport, r. l., from New York, or
the tug Cuba, which passed Block
Island two hours later. which left New
London. Conn, yesterday, for Newport
News. and was returning without tow.
When leaving port. the Richmond had
three barges and the Cuba two.
Wreckage strews the shore in the Vi
cinity of the Bellport, L. l., life saving
station. and one body came ashore. One
barge was thrashing about, this after
noon. near Forge River station. The
finding of the other bodies was reported
later from-the same point. The largest
piece of wreckage is the after quarter
and portion of the stern of a barge.
On this last were the letters 20. p. E."
The crew of the American merchant
man Schepp, full-rigged ship, which
went ashore on Long Beach. l.. l.,
shoals. early today. were in peril of
their lives all day and late reports say
they are still on their stranded vessel,
though the danger of death had been
lessened owing to the slight abatement
of the storm.
A westerly gale was blowing 20 miles
in the, morning. Captain Andrew
Rhodes life saving men reached the
Schepp about daybreak and found the
seas breaking over her bow and stern.
She. was about 1000 feet from shore.
Her maintopgallant and royalmizzen
topsail, with the foretopgallant stud
ding sail, had been carried away and
almost every spar was broken. Several
of the crew could be seen on deck run
ming to and fro to keep from freezing
to death.
The life savers of Capt. Rhoades' sta
ton and those Of the Long Beach sta
ton under Van Wicklen made several
attempts to shoot the lifelines over the
Schepp, but the afternoons efforts
were not successful. Then they tried
to launch the lifeboat, but this, too
proved impossible, owing to the high
sea.
The crews of the going tugs John
E. Berwind and E., S. Atwood had a
narrow escape from going to the bot
tom with their craft, Sunday after
noon. Nothing was known Of their
plight until the arrival, today, Of the
German steamer Barcelona, whose crew
rescued the tug men.
The tugs had been delivering provi-
sions to the stranded steamer Cavour,
ashore at Long Beach. L. l., and were
proceeding back to this point. When
| the gale struck them the waves began
to wash over them; not only sweeping
off everything movable, but flooding
their holds and getting into the fire
boxes.
The seven men on each tug were in
imminent danger for over two hours.
The tugs were helpless and gradually
sinking when the Barcelona hove in
| sight and took the half frozen crews
aboard. Within half an hour after this
the two tugs went to the bottom.
| The Berwind was probably worth
$4,000 or $4,000, the Atwood about
| $4,000.
