ter Have a Desperate Strug- !
gle to Reach a Place Of
Safety.

While Harry Okes. Harry Bartlett.
John Klein and several companions were
out sailing Sunday afternoon on the New
ark Bay they had narrow escape from
drowning.
Mr.. Okes owns sailing boat and ne
invited few of his friends to take II
pleasure trip with him last Sunday. All
went well until sauall struck them
just as they were rounding the light
house. Not being able to take the prop
er precautions, the force of the wind
pulled out one of the stays and sthe
boards it was fastened to. The boat
lurched and began to fill with water.
The water poured in the opening 50
fast that the young men had time only
to leap over board and swim from the
boat, which sank to the bottom in a very
few minutes. Fortunately they We're all
good swimmers and reached the shore
in safety after long swim.
Harry Okes and Harry Bartlett swan
TO the lighthouse while the rest made for
the shore. It being dark by this time
they decided to sleep in the lighthouse
that night. They were taken to the
shore in steam launch the next MORN

stars that they were not drowned.
On Monday Okes hired tug and
towed the boat as near the shore as pos
sible. The mast and sails were almost
totally destroyed. He will have the boat
raised from the bay as soon as possible
and have the damages repaired.
The accident caused much excitement
and large crowd soon gathered on the
shore. The young men all took it as
a joke and said that they had an uney-
pected bath.

Editor Jersey City News
Sir-In your article in today's issue,
Revolt Spreading" you state that G. N.
Fowler refused to present a petition
from the City Committee to the Presi-
dent. This is misstatement, which l
would ask you to correct The Hon. (9
Charles n. Fowler of Banking Bill fame,
did refuse to present to the President
a petition in behalf of Mr. Morgan
Thomas from fourteen Grand Army
Posts of the counties of Hudson, Union
and Essex. Also a petition signed by
citizens of Bayonne.
Furthermore a certificate testifying to
Mr.. Morgan Thomas's untarnished rec
ord as a citizen and to his high standing
in the Republican party and to his nn-
firing work in behalf of the organiza-
ton. was signed by twenty-six of the
present Bayonne. City committeeman,
numerous ex-committeemen, ex-leaders
and co-workers, was also sent to the
Congressman.
These documents the so-called Honora-
BILE Charles n. Fowler considered a mere
bagatelle, and he refused to present same
to the President.
Very respectfully.

The quartette must have been impa-
tient for. thinking the Judge had fallen
asleep while dressing himself, they again
yanked the bell. Just at that moment
the Judge opened the door and ushered
the young people into the parlor.
Now, let me see, said the smiling
Judge, (which couple will be married
first ~
"There is only one couple to be mar
ried. judge said the bridegroom. who
gave his name as James n. laugh, of
No. 402 Gator avenue.
"And which of these sweet young
ladies is to share your lot?" asked the
Judge.
"Why, Sadie, here" said the bride
groom Sadie blushed and took her
prospective husbands hand. The brides
name was Miss Sadie Collins, of No.
POI Van Horne street. She was indeed
pretty. She gave her age as twenty.
:. FATHERLY ADYICE.
The Judge duly performed the cere-
mony, kissed the blushing prlda and gave
the young people some fatherly advice.
