Exhibition Saturday = Out
of MariOn'S Class.
HIT VISITORS FREELY.

The Marions had batting matinee
Saturday and twirler' Becker, of the
Pearsalls, was the sufferer. The locals
knocked out eighteen safe hits for a
total of twenty four bases. Every
IL an on the team was credited with at
least one single, but Moorehead was
the leader of the sluggers, having four
hits, one of them a home run and
another a two-bagger as his day S
record with the stick. The local
second paseman also scored five runs,
of which three were made without
any assistance from his fellow
players.
In the second inning ne lifted the
ball over the left field fence. Nc
Phillips and Lyons each corralled
three hits for the locals
The Marions won the game rather
easily the score being 10 to 8. The
visitors held the locals for four
innings but good stick work in the
fifth and eighth gave the home team
t ur runs IN each inning. This was
much too big lead for the visitors tc
overcome.
In the second inning, BoeL ler, while
sliding to the plate, turned on hi;
ankle and the game was delayed fol
several minutes. He continued II
the game. but went from left to right
field. Healy who caught here several
games with Milburn, was behind the
bat for the visitors.

TOLD OF THE
CONVENTION.
Rev. S. T., Jackson Conducted
an Interesting Service in
Simpson N. E. Church.
THE EPWORTH LEAGUE.

The services in Simpson M. E.
church last evening, in which the
ideas of the Epworth League con-
vention at Detroit were followed,
were very interesting and instructive,
and were attended by large congre-
cation.
The music was the same as was used
at various services at the convention
and was greatly enjoyed. A mixed
quartet rendered several selections
and Mrs. r. W. Macan and Mrs
Jennie Pemberton sang a very pretty
duet.
Rev. s. Travena jackson, who was
the delegate from Simpson M. E.
church, in very interesting manner,
described the convention. He told OF
the decorations of the city of Detroit,
the royal welcome accorded the dele.
gates, over 30, 600 in number, and the
largely attended services throughout
the city, with their beautiful music
and stirring addresses.
Mr.. jackson said in part:
"It is my desire to bring to the
people of Perth Amboy, as far al
possible, the spirit of that great. con
course of people, representing every
State in the Union and even Canada
When we entered the city, we saw
the red and white of our church and
the red and yellow of the southern
church displayed on every hand. Al
night there were electric lights
throughout the city, setting forth the
words Welcome Epworth Leaguers
We were received in the churches anG
home of the city, irrespective o1
creed and were officially welcomed by
the mayor of the city.
"The addresses were most stirring
and enthusiastic, one of the best De
ing delivered by the governor o.
Nebraska.
"The great spirits displayed were
those of welcome, progressive christ
ianlty, Bible study, christian fratern
ity, conquest and the spirit of Pente
cost. -

musical selections were introduced
After the address Rev. Mr.. White, Of
the Westminster, pronounced the bene

NAVY YARD DESERTER
SURRENDERS HIMSELF.
Took French Leave from Boon Navy Yard and Wants Go
BuckWent far Sqyrvee--Says he Does not Like the
Lookup Very Much and is in a Hurry to Return.

Yesterday a young fellow walked in
to police headquarters and surrender
ed himself as a deserter from the
Brooklyn Navy Yard, saying he was
Fred Boehn, twenty-one years old,
private in the marine corps, and with
no relatives except an aunt in Union
Hill, N. ]. The authorities at the
Navy Yard were notified and someone
is expected soon to take Boehn back
to Brooklyn.
The fellow had quite story and,
speaking with a News reporter this
morning, said:
81 am not regular deserter only
being three days out. By staying ten
days l would become a deserter and q
search would be made for me. / am
in what is called the fourth class,
which means that cannot leave the
yard when on leave of absence.
Thursday night, two other fellows
and myself exchanged our uniforms
for civilian s clothes and, when the
sentry was at the end of his beat
furthest from us, we climbed the
fence surrounding the yard and
cleared out. We started for Sayreville
and stayed there a couple of days.
The other two fellows kept right on
down the line, but l walked all the
way to this town and gave myself
up.
"When l get back will have trial
and be put in the brig for several
weeks I knew what I would get
when took French leave, but that
couldn't keep me- back. There are
fellows doing the same thing every
day, so I'll have plenty of company. -
Boehn did not seem to mind his
predicament in the least, but said he
wished the authorities would sent
somebody for him soon as he did ND
like the local lookup much.

Great Luck.

The fishermen took advantage of
the fine day yesterday and were out
on the bay in great numbers. Some
good catches were brought in. They
were mostly from Princess Bay
William Gleason, S. J. Ahearn,
George B. Edmunds and Thomas Glea-
son, of Bayonne, had tussle with a
turtle which tipped the scales at
eighty seven pounds. They were
fishing at Princess Bay, when they
espied the turtle on shore. They
didn't have any idea 1t was such a
difficult job to capture turtle, never
having had previous experience with
a really big one, hut they found out
before they got got back home. When
the fishermen arrived home with their
prize they invited a number of their
friends to turtle soup party.

VESSEL WEATHERED
FIERCE HURRICANE.
B,q Steamer the Dock Smelling Refining Company
Does not Show the EHecS of the Storm Coating of SoH
Smokestack Bound North from ico--Coyo Was Shifted

To look at the big steel steamer
Sidra, Captain Freeman, which is
now docked at the American Smelt-
| ing & Refining Company's plant,
where she arrived this morning from
Tampico, Mexico, with a cargo of
lead ore, there is nothing to show the
weather she experienced while on the
trip north. She had a pretty hard
time however, and narrowly escaped
going to the bottom in the big West
Indian hurricane which did so much
damage in Jamaica short time ago.
The steamer left Tampico before
the weather forecast people had any
idea that there was to be hurricane
and she was several days out when
the lookout repo1 ted what appeared
to be a pig cloud, making rapidly for
the steamer. 1t grew larger as it APP
proaches and it was evident hard
blow was at hand. The gale soon
reached the vessel and storm broke
with all its fury. The gale increased
and the big steamer rolled heavily.
Many tons of the lead was on deck
and the vessel was onlv loaded to
about half her full capacity. Had
she had full cargo, she would prob
ably have gone down. AS the gale
increased to hurricane, the cargo on
deck began to shift and, in order to
steady the vesseI more, the captain
ordered all hands to assist in throwing
the cargo into the hold. This was
hard work and several of the men
were nearly swept from the deck in
spite of the fact that they were lashed
fast and wore life savers.
With all the carg o below, the
steamer rode the gale little better.
After hard run, the. vessel finally
passed out of the storm. The only
noticeable feature as she lay at the
dock here, is that her smoke stack has
a coating of salt where the spray had
lashed and evaporated.
