SAILING PARTY

Edward Cuny ST.. and Sons on AT
ternOOn Outing When Boat
Began to Fill.

While out sailing Thursday after
noon, just off Newport, in their yacht
Florence, Edward Cunv ST.. and his
son Eugene and an adopted son Albert,
of Broadway, had a very narrow
escape from going to the bottom. The
high ave nearly swamped their
craft.
Mr.. Cuny and the boys left Totten-
Vile for a sail early in the afternoon.
Everything was going nicely until
they were opposite Keyport when,
without the least warning, the waves
began to run unusually high. The
sail boat was soon full of water and
the three had all they could do
to keep her afoat. In speaking Of the
adventure Mr.. Cuny said he thought
his last day was at hand. The water
in the boat was several feet deep
when they succeeded in landing near
Keyport. They then made their way
to a hotel where their clothes were
dried, after which they came home by
train. Yesterday afternoon A. E.
Morgan, of Broadway, and Mr.. Cuny,
went to Keyport and brought the
Florence home late in the evening.

fight that seemed imminent President
Buchanan adjourned the convention
without hour and without waiting to
put the question.
Later, when President buchanan, re-

to reconvene the convention, the Parks

Parks now announces his intention OF
making trouble when he gets back to

on many jobs and that he will get even

depose him by starting another union
