WILMINGTON MAN INSANE
STRAPPED To PRISON COT
Charles Shumar Incarcerated
in Camden Prison After
Being Drugged

Crazed by drink, robbed Of several hun
dred dollars, while under the influence Of
a drug, and strapped TO a prison cot,
Charles Shumar. of this city, is in a
Camden jail and it Is thought is hopeless
ly insane from the effects of his expert
ence.
shumar lived at Seventh ana Pine streets
in this city until his father and mother
died within a month of each other. Since
that time he has divided his stay batween
this city, where he visited friends, and
Philadelphia.
by the death Of his parents he inherited
several thousand dollars and has been
spending money with a reclSlessness that
soon promised 10 exhaust the supply. He
was here last week and was demonstrated
with by his friends, who saw that his con-
dition was becoming alarming, but he left
for Philadelphia soon afterward and the
news OF his Incarceration was the first
they had heard from him since his de-
parture.
Possessing great strength, the man,
since his removal to the Camden jail from
the City Hail has dened the jailors ef-
forts to keep him bound, bursting leather
straps, ropes ana bandages as though
they were strings. His rawlings continue
for hours at a time, during which, it Is
necessary for the jailors and 'itrusty''
prisoners to hold him to prevent his harm
ing h mself.
Shumar was arrested at the Market
street ferry on Saturday afternoon while
In fit OF delirium, and it required the ef-
forts Of three policemen TO get him to the
City HAL. Yesterday morning a squad
, Of policemen, under orders from Chief
Foster, took him Ito the JAIL where he be-
gan to break. one after another, the straps
binding him to his cot.
The death Of his parents so close to-
gether seemed TO change him entirely.
From quiet, retiring man ne became a
restless, strenuous character. II is feared
he will not regain his reason again as he
is now in delirious agony. trying to break
the fetters that bind him to the prison
cot crying out "They have got any money
let me get at them."

OLD SWEDES CHURCH
PASSES 204TH MILESTONE
sRector Absent, Because OF
Illness, for First Time in
Fifteen Years

The 204th anniversary Of the c0nse-
Grafton Of old Swedes Church was cele-
brated in the historic ediiice yesterday.
Because Of the illness OF the wear, the
Rev. Martin Il. Dunlap, the early cele-
bration Of the holy community was
omitted, but at 1890 o'clock the Rev.
H. Ashton Henry rector Of Trinity
parish. was the celebrant, with Charles
N. Clash. of Trinity Church, as the
server. The gospel was read b- the
Rev. Spencer S. Roche, Of ST. Marks
Church, Brooklyn. The music was Of o
high character, Miss Mary Dunlap be-
ing at the organ. The attendance was
large.
In addressing the congregation Mr..
Henry referred to the illness Of Mr..
Dunlap, and asked the prayers OF the
congregation I'm his behalf. This is the
first time that he has been absent from
an anniversary celebration of the
church in fifteen years. His condition
now is improved.
A strong and eloquent sermon was
preached by the Rev. Mr. Roche, whose
text was Philippians ii. 1918: Where
fore, my beloved as we have always
obeyed, not as in my presence only, but
now much more I'm mine absence, work
out your salvation with fear and
trembling; for it is God which work.
eth in you both to will and to do of His
good pleasure" He dwelt briefly on
the doctrine of the Trinity and its prac-
teal helpfulness in life. He held that
in our lives consciously to make the
best of them, we should keep in touch
with God and follow His direction. He
illustrated this by apt Illustration and
dwelt most appropriately on tho work
Of the Swedish colonists, their reliance
upon God and their feeling that they
had work to do besides simply getting a
living.
Mr. Roche referred feelingly to the
the fact that fifty years ago his father
was the pastor of Asbury Methodist
Episcopal Church, this city.

HUNDRED PERISH
IN BOAT COLLISION
Terrible Shipping Disaster
Near Marseilles in Which
One Steamer Sinks
DESPERATE EFFORTS TO RESCUE
Force Of the Collision Cut Great Hole
in the Liban's Side, and in Short
Time She Went Down-Desperate
Efforts to Rescue Those on Board.

Marseilles. June S.-A terrible ship
ping disaster occurred a little distance
from this port. when two passenger
steamers. the lnsulaire and the Liban,
both belonging to the Fraissenet
Steamship Company of Marseilles,
came into collision. The Liban sank
and over 100 OF her passengers and
crew perished
The steamer Liban left Marseilles
on her regular passenger trip to Bas-
tia, Corsica, and was run down and
sunk by the lnsulaire OFF the Marie
Islands The collision was witnessed
from the pilot boat Blechamp, which
was about two miles distant. The Bile
champ Immediately repaired TO the
spot to render assistance. The force
OF the collision had cut great hole In
the Lihan's side. and she already was
making water rapidly. Her captain
saw the only chance was TO run the
steamer aground. and the Liban was
headed full speed for the shore; but
within 70 minutes of the collision, and
while still in deep water, the fore part
of the steamer plunged beneath the
waves. and n few minutes later she
had entirely disappeared.
In the meantime. the Blechamp, the
steamer Balkan, also belonging TO the
Fraissinet company, and other vessels
had drawn near the sinking ship and
were making desperate efforts to res
/ cue those on board. The BlechamI
picked up 80 persons. many of whom
were at the point of exhaustion. The
Balkan rescued 81 passengers. and II
addition to the passengers II of thI
crew we're also saved.
Officers of the steamer Balkan dc
scribe the scene just before the Libai
disappeared as a terrible one. AS thl

At the same time the boilers exploded

moments the victims we're seen strug

over them and all was silent. O

The Balkan launched three boats
and the other vessels did all possible
to save the victims in the short time
that elapsed between the time of eel
