RACED WITH DEATH AND LOST.
Special Train Failed to Garry Son to
Mothers Bedside in Time.

LAKEWOOD. n. ]. March Sit was a
race with death. and death won. One
of the Jersey Central's fastest engines
at 1915 o'clock Monday night for New
York. The train was chartered by Rob
ert Sternbach and it carried a messenger
to summon his brother, Sidney Sternbach,
of No. q East Seventy-seventh Street
to the deathbed of his mother Mrs.
Sternbach became critically i'll at a hotel
here last evening and a physician said
she would not live until morning.
Mrs. Sternbach's husband and one son
were with her. She asked for her other
son, Sidney. Efforts were made to reach
him by telephone or telegraph, but ow-
ing to the storm it was found inn ossible
to get message through to New York.
Mr. Sternbach then decided to charter
special train and Edmund R. Kim
brough, a hotel clerk. was sent to in
form Sidney Sternbach of his mother
illness. The railroad wires were down
and the dispatcher here was reluctant
about sending out a special. Finally he
was persuaded to let the train go. The
engine driver crowded on all steam.
Between Lakewood and Red Bank the
distance was covered at the rate of a
mile a minute. The engine driver did
not know at what minute he might meet
a train ahead
AS the train few by Red Bank there
was a loud cracking of torpedoes. The
train was stopped, and the station agent
said there was a freight train just ahead.
There was no place TO sidetrack the
freight, so the special had to crawl into
Jersey City behind the ether.
At the Jersey Central's terminus the
messenger found he would have to wait
half an hour for a boat He tried to
raise" Mr.. Sternbachs residence by
telephone. but failed. II was a few min
utes before O'Clock in the morning when
he reached the Sternbach house. Mr..
and Mrs Sternbach were ready in few
minutes, and the party left Jersey City
at $3.50 o'clock for Lakewood.
They were out of Jersey City less than
fifteen minutes when they found an
other freight train ahead, and they had to
follow this into Lakewood. When they
reached the hotel Robert Sternbach met
them at the entrance. glance at his
face checked their questions.
TOO late" he said, mother has been
dead an hour.

NEW YORK, March 5.--Rev Rudolph

Church OF St Paul he Apostle at Sixtieth

been made, there were few in the church.
The ceremony was an unusual one. mas

converts are taken into the church at one
time. In fact. the converts are usually
received singly.

the case of Mr.. and Mrs. George Parsons

FUNERALS IN ROWBOATS.
Remarkable Scenes in Paterson Due to
the Flood.

NEW YORK, March 5.-The falling OF
the waters in the streets of Paterson
making navigation in boats possible, and
uncoverng the surface OF the cemeteries
permitted several long delayed funerals
yesterday in that stricken city.
These presented the most remarkable
features OF the latest disaster that has
visited that unfortunate city. Instead OF
hearses and carriages there were row.
boats to convey the collins and the mourn
ers.
The first of these remarkable funerals
was that of Mrs. Peter Masher. whose
body had lain for several days at No. SO
Ricer Street. So swift was the current
that flowed past the house that a row.
boat could not safely be held there, but
by an ingenius arrangement the trolley
wires that are strung near the house were
utilized.
The coffin was suspended by wire
looped over them and so hauled across
the street where the current was less
swift, and lowered into a boat. Then it
was rowed to West Street. where it was
placed in a hearse and driven to Laurel
Grove Cemetery.
