When Lydia E. Pinkham's Rene
dies were first introduced skeptics
all over the country frowned upon
their curative claims, but as year
after year has rolled by and the
little group of women who had been
cured by the new discovery has
since grown into a vast army of
hundreds of thousands, doubts and
skepticisms have been swept away
as by mighty food, until to-day
the great good that Lydia e.

among the women of America is
attracting the attention of many Of
our leading scientists, physicians
and thinking people.
Merit alone could win such fame !;

BARGES SINK; THREE DROWN |
CHILD LOST BEFORE PARENTS EYES
A THIRD VESSEL AND CREW
THOUGHT TO BE LOST

At least two coal barges and three lives. and
probably third barge with her crew. were ,ost
off Penfeld Reef Bridgeport, in the blow Of
Tuesday night. The two 5arges Henry Hughes
and Baxter foundered and the barge Taylor got
;drft ana it is believed sank with all on board
also. Those drowned were the ten-year-old son
of Captain Joseph Mitchell of the Hughes. and
Captain William Symons and woman OF the
Baxter.
The story of the disaster was brought to this
city Yesterday by the tug Volunteer, owned by
McWiIliams Brothers which had the Hughes and
the Baxter in tow. The Volunteer and the TWO
barges started from Jersey City bound Tor port
land Conn. on Tuesday. The barges were trali-
ing tandem behind the tug the Baxter on the
Volunteers towIine and the Hughes bringing up
the rear. On board the Hughes were captain
Joseph Mitchell, of ROndout. n y; MS Wlle'
ten-year-old son and fve-year-oid daughter.
ON tho Raxter was CAPTAIN William Symons of
Ticonderoga, and Captain Milliken said he was
informed that there also a woman on thlS
barge but he could not verify the statement VI
tell who she was if that were true.
When the tow entered the Sound heavy
weather was encountered, and about 1:3O a. m
the wind shifted from south to southeast ana
blew a gale Captain Milliken, fearing that MS
tow would get away from him. trled TO put
into Bridgeport, which light he picked UP about
the time the gale broke on him. AS he came
about the Baxter, straining on her toWIlne' was
swung into the trough of the sea, and the waves
washing over her she foundered. Before she
sank lights indicating that she was IN distress
were observed by Captain Milliken, ana ne cur
the towIine and turned back. Before ne couid
get to the barge she had sunk. The line from the
Baxter TO the Hughes also cut ana Wheh
the tug reached her she was rolling badly In the
trough of the sea, and half full OF water;
Grouped on the bow were Captain Mitchell and
his family The mother held her five-year-old
daughter in her arms, and as the nose or the
tug touched the side Of the laundering barge
she passed the little one into the arms or the
sailors Mrs. Mitchell was next rescued, put
before Captain Mitchell could pass the boy
aboard the tug sheered off and the lad fell into
the water and was drowned before his parents
eyes Captain Mitchell saved himself by a wild
leap from the deck of the barge to that OF the
tug.
The tug POttsville, towing the barges Taylor,
Benjamin Brown and another, the name or
which was not obtained, was in difficulty about
mile away from the Volunteer. The barge
Taylor got adrift and the Pottsville was obliged
TO put into Bridgeport without the vessel 1t
was probably lost.
The barges Hughes and Baxter each had about
seven hundred tons of coal aboard. The Henry
Hughes belonged to John Hughes, and the BaX-
ter to Robinson, Baxter & Dissosway. They were
valued at between 5000 and $4,000 each, and
were insured.

ron the magnifcencc of its walls nor the

principles it represented and on the work 1t

eyes of sorrow and its ministratons TO the needs

on him, and replied in a low voice to the ques-
lions put to him. He said that he had accepted

his duty. Then DR. Smith asked the cOngrega-
ton If they were still ready to receive DR.. Stew
ensOn as their pastor and TO help him fulfil the
work Of his pastorate. They replied In the ar
frmative by raising their right hands. Dr. Smith
declared the relationship duly constituted" and
called on the Rev. Thomas J. Stevenson, brother
of the pastor just chosen. TO deliver the charge.
Mr.. stevenson is much younger than his brother
He referred to the Joy it gave him to see his
brother in a place where the opportunities for
work in the cause We're 80 great. He spoke in
remembrance Of their father. who served in the
ministry for fifty years.
At the close II the exercises DIR. Stevenson held
informal reception and shook hands with a
hundred or more Of the men and women who
had attended the service.
