MISS GOLDBERG FELL
IN DELAWARE RIVER
Accident to Yachting Party
at Pennsgrove Causes
Excitement

An accident to several members OF a
yacnting party at Pennsgrove, yester-
day afternoon, caused much excitement IN
that usually quiet resort. 1t was only
because the water at the spot where the
accident occurred was knee deep that no
more serious damage was done. As St was
skirts and hosiery were drenched.
The accident was the end OF an enjoy
able sail on the Delaware river. DR.. and
Mrs George w. Quinn. who are summer
ing at Pennsgrove, with their guests,
Miss Goldberg and Mr.. Scott, Of Philadel-
phia. composed party that went out on
the Delaware IN a yacht for a sail early
IA the afternoon. The party thoroughly
enjoyed the sail and it was not until they
were within a few feet OF the shore that
the accident occurred.
The entire party, when a short distance
from the shore left the yacht and got in
a row boat to be rowed to the steps where
sailing parties generally land. DR.. Quinn
left the boat first TO assist the women
on and when Miss Goldberg attempted to
step from the boat to the steps the trouble
started. She in some manner pushed the
boat away and stepped overheard. The
water was but about two feet deep but
the unfortunate young woman slipped and
fell over.
Mrs. quinn became so excited that she
also fell IN. II was not until Dr. Quinn
had called to the women telling then
there was no danger that the excitement
abated.
Mrs. j. T. Murphy Of Baltlmote, who is
also summering at Pennsgrove, witnessed
the accident from the porch Of her cot
tage. She became very excited fearing the
persons who slipped overheard would
drown and called 70 her husband to go &c
their assistance.

Sandy Hook TO witness an attempt of
a foreign cup hunter tc wrest from
America the yachting So:emacy Of
the world. returned to New York dis
appointed because the sea had refused
a field of combat to the racers, but,
nevertheless, jubilant in the convic-
ton that Sir Thomas Lipton's latest
challenger, like the two Shamrocks
which had preceded her, was doomed
TO return to England empty-handed.
OF course, the race was not abso-
lutely conclusive, owing to the light
and shifting character OF the airs, but
in a 15-mile beat to windward, a por-
tion of which was sailed in a driving
rain. the cup defender Reliance showed
her heels to Shamrock III in COM
manding style and in weather condi-
tions which were supposed to be to
the particular liking of the challenger.
Fifc's latest creation has been herald
ed rs a veritable wizard in light
breezes in windward work. especially
with a jumpy sea on. while the Re
lance in her trials had demonstrated
best reaching and running in a whole
sail wind. Yet with a breeze varying
from one to - knots and against a
long ground swell the defender out
footed and out-pointed her. The Sham
rock did not turn the outer mark, and
there is, therefore, no way of knowing
absolutely how badly she was beaten.
but it was estimated that she was
more than mile astern, or about 10
minutes in the existing strength of
the wind when the Reliance rounded.
AS a result of the trial the experts
believe, blow high or low. that the Re-
lance will win this, the 18th, series for
the Americas cup. The day was a
miserable one for those who went
down to the ocean race course off
Sandy Hook. A mist lay over the
city and bay in the morning, and when
the great fleet of excursion steamers,
steam yachts, tugs and sailing vessels
reached the starting line where the
big single-stickers were already jock
eying for a position, black, threatening
clouds we're gathering over the Jersey
Highlands. The dark water reflected
no shadow, and the mist all about
shortened the observation. The
breeze was not over six knots, and
the murky waves spilled no white froth
from their crests.
The boats will race over the same cours
tomorrow.

Of the crematory committee do not seem
to be able to reach an agreement relative

Some favor a cheap brand. while Others
want the best in the market, WHICH COM
mands high price. After the regular

tract will be awarded at the next meet

MIDDLETOWN' s
ARTESIAN WELLS
Professor Chester Who Gave
Opinion Was Wrong
About Rock Strata
BORED DOWN FOR NEARLY 900 FEET
From the Two Wells over 400 Gallons
A Minute Are Pumped-lt Is Cold
and Can Be Used in Any Kind Of
Boiler. &

In connection with the talk about
water and artesian wells, the expert
ence OF the town of Middletown may
be interesting at this time. as the ex-
periments made and the results the
commissioners found that II was pos
sible to get enough artesian we'll water
TO more than meet the needs of the
town. and furthermore the opinion Civ
en- by Professor Chester OF Newark,
who has been associated with DIR. A.
Robin, the present bacteriologist OF the
Water Department. did not agree with
the government experts and the facts.
The following is a statement OF FITS
as related by resident OF Middletown:
In 1892 the commissioners OF Mid
dletown secured George J. Kennedy.
who had put down flowing well at
Dover TO the distance OF 165 feet. For
this work he charged so a foot.
At Mlddletown he went down be-
tween 800 and $50 feet. when S. M.
Reynolds, a member OF the commits
sion. since dead and who was a friend
of Professor Chester, got the latter 10
go TO Middletown and make an inves-
tigatlon and analysis showing the diff
ferent strata of earth and rock under
the town. Professor Chester said that
the geological dip was from north
west to southeast. That the average
dip was from twenty-five feet to n
mile. on that and the samples shown
him he based his statement that II the
well was continued 10 400 or 425 feet
the bed of rock underlying the Pcnin-
sula would be struck. Since that time
well has been driven nearly 900 feet
and the rock has not yet been encoun-
tered
After the matter was placed in the
hands OF the Light and Water Com
mission OF the town, Mr.. Kennedy was
dispensed with and J. H. X. Shannahar
OF Easton. Nd. secured. He Increased
! the well TO the depth OF 555 feet. III
got n continuance and an abundant
supply OF water About 200 gallons OF
: water are pumped every minute.
While Shannahamwas drilling the wei
the state geologist OF New Jersey who
was on the scene said that the United
States geological reports showed that
the dip was from southwest to north
east.
A second well was afterwards driven
10 the depth OF $40 feet. and as In the
first one no rock such as Professor
Chester said would be found was dis
covered. From the two wells 400 gal
Ions Of water are pumped every min
ute. More could be pumped II it were
necessary. Neither OF these are flow
ing wells. the water coming TO within
about IS feet of the surface. II Ia
good water and is used I'm the boilers
