Mrs. Russell Catlin and Mrs. Clay

" Heart" party last evening in honol
of their daughters, Sophie Catlin anC
Madelein Walker, at the home of the
former
The Catlin home was radient in red
Strings of red hearts, large and small
were festooned from the chandeliers tC
the walls in all the rooms in a most eff
fective manner. The soft glow of the
red shaded light and candles made o
very pretty scene.
Misses Ruth Gabrielson, Cora Talk
ington and Maude Laughead assisted in
entertaining. "Hearts'' was played
the first part of the evening, in which
Ted Holmes received the first prize
while the consolation was bestowed up
on Willie Perkins. Refreshments were
then served in which the red color
scheme was carried out. The tables
were very pretty, decorated with hearts
and lighted with small red candles. Ev.
erthing was heart shape from the ice
cream to the candies.
After the lunch, each guest "fished
for their fortune" and this created
much merriment. 1t being leap year,
the girls held full sway, and during the
remainder of the time, each one was
obliged to propose to each boy and were
given either Il heart or a mitten. In
this "heart" contest, Miss Evelene
Calbreath received the largest number
of hearts, while Miss Nellie Thielsen
got the most mittens.
The whole affair was delightful in
every detail, and the young guests en-
tered heartily into the fun, and spent
the last hour in dancing.
Those invited were: Misses Althea
Moores, Evelene Calbreath, Claudine
Rose, Bella Morrison, Nellie Thielsen,

Walled in by Ice,

Gloucester, Mass.-According to the
story of Capt. Vincent Nelson and
crew Of the schooner Fernwood, which
was abandoned off the Newfoundland
coast, all hands had a narrow escape
and only gave up their ship when alb
solutely obliged to. g.
The Fernwood was abandoned off
Port au Port, N. f., encircled by heavy
gulf ice. For five days prior to he
abandonment the crew battled inces-
sanity with the ice foes. The ice
was jammed in against the vessel until
the hull was nearly buried. On Jan
90 the situation became dangerous In
the extreme. The vessel was close in
shore and was in imminent danger of
being sunk by the Ice walls which sur
rounded her.
With the utmost reluctance Capt.
Nelson gave orders that the vessel be
abandoned. Everything was left in ship
shape, the sails furled, etc.
When leaving the crew hoisted a
dory up to the summit of the ice wall
which they took with them over the
ice for use should they meet with any
open water between them and land.
They succeeded in reaching land all
right. walking ashore at Stevensville,
there taking the ears for Port au
Basques. Thence they were taken in
charge by the U. S. consul and for
warded to their homes.
From their description of the sur
roundings there seems but slim hope
of saving the Fernwood intact.

TRAIN DERA|LED
Every One Of Thirty Passengers
IS Injured.
Conductor and One Passenger Were
Also kiIled-Accident Occurred on
Boston intercolonial Express 40
Miles From Halifax--Train Rolled
Down an Embankment Into River.

Halifax, N. S.-While running at the
rate Of 40 miles an hour. the express
on the Intercolonial railroad bound for
Boston and Montreal left the track at
Hunters crossing. 40 miles outside Of
this city, recently. and in the crash
that followed the precipitation OF the
five cars down a 30-foot embankment
into an almost dry river, not one Of
the 80 persons on board escaped injury,
while one was killed outright, one IA
tally injured and two or more are like
ly to die. The names of the dead are:
Mrs. John Classy, Halifax; Conductor
Robert Duncan.
A relief train bearing the body Of
Mrs. Classy and 10 of those most Sc
riously injured arrived here from the
scene of the wreck.
The accident took place at 10 O'Clock
in the morning, but by nightfall the
track had been reOrened for traffic and
the telegraph service, which had been
broken by the rolling cars, had been
restored.
The injured were conveyed to the
hospital and every provision made for
their care. Robert Duncan, conductor
of the train, who had his head badly
bruised, leg broken and suffered inter-
nal injuries, died in the hospital. He
was one of the Oldest conductors on
the road, and up to the time of leaving
Halifax could boast of long career
unmarried by single accident.
The other person whose condition is
grave is an Armenian peddler who was
in second-class Car. Besides the con-
ductor and the peddler, Bassas. Mas
ter J. B. Blair is in a critical conai-
ton from loss of blood, his scalp hav-
ing been torn from his head.
Injuries of other passengers consist
of broken limbs and bad cuts about the
head and body.
None of the persons concerned in the
wreck is able to throw any light upon
the cause of the disaster. The train
consisted of locomotive, postal car,
baggage car two passenger coaches
and pullman, in the order named The
train was inspected before leaving
North street station in this city.
At the time of the wreck the train
was running about 40 miles an hour,
and the accident occurred on a curve.
Engineer Ross, driver of the locomo-
tive. felt she, ,"'sdw the baggage car
swerve from the rails, followed by the
coaches and pullman, and, dragging
the mail car with them, the wi Die Ave
went over the embankment and rolled
down 80 feet into the Shubenacadle
river, which flows near the tracks at
this point. Fortunately, the water in
the river was only knee-deep.
The pullman turned over twice. One
of the coaches struck n tree and wa.
ripped open from end to end The
other cars were all more or less
smashed and landed bottom up. with
the passengers lying on their roofs.

physician, found his condition such
that, after consultation, an operation
was decided upon and was performed
by Drs. Bull and Pool. The patient

Mr. Whitney's condition was bad,
however, on Sunday and Monday, and,
at a consultation by Drs. James, Walk

second operation was deemed neces-
sary to offer the only hope for the pa
Lient.
A bulletin issued in the morning stat
ed that there had been slight i'm
provement in the patients condition,
but shortly before alarming symp-
.oms were noted, and hurried prepara-
ions were made for second opera

the influence of ether, but whether the

is unknown.
When the physicians perceived that
the patient was in danger Of death,
Harry Payne Whitney and Miss Doro-

few minutes he had breathed his
last.
Oxygen was used and all the skill OF
the physicians and surgeons brought
into play, but to no avail.

More Ceremony Wanted.

ashington-Because of the prece-
dent established by meeting Governor
Taft with a troop of cavalry and ac-
cording to Mr.. Root, the retiring sec
retary, the same honor when he left
Washington, it is learned that the
same courtesy will be requested of this
government when the next new ambas-
sador is received in audience for the
first time by the president.
This is the custom observed in other
countries, and 1t is understood that
American ambassadors abroad always
have insited on full military honOrs.
1t appears that the late Lord Paunce-
fote, the first ambassador appointed at
Washington, neglected to draw up with
the state department the usual proto-
col providing for the reception of am
bassadors.
Such a convention is felt by diplo-
mats to be highly desirable.

TENSION INCREASING.
Russian Situation Acute, but May Not
Result in War.

Nesut IN war;
st. Petersburg-The statement print
ed abroad that the Russian reply Is
being held back while Nj. Kurino, the
Japanese minister communicates its
substance to his government is untrue
The Associated Press is semi-offlcial-
ly assured that the Russian response
will not be sent before Feb. 8, at the
earliest.
The tension unquestionably is in
creasing and the bonrse showed a ner-
vous feeling, but beyond the decided
Russian military activity, there is lit.
tie definite news.
M. Kurlno denies that the foreign
Office has given him an intimation OF
the nature of the reply.
The japanese legation Is without nd.
vices indicating important develop.
ments In Japan, but 1t is admitted that
the long delay in the response, coupled
with the reports of Russian military
activity are doubtless increasing the
tension and gravity of the situation in
Japan.
The strain here is manifested by the
continuous semi-panicky condition of
the bourse. The papers still hope for
peace, but they show a, more skeptical
tone.
The Russ declares that in spite of
alarmist rumors it does not think there
will be war; on the ground that there
is nothing in the negotiations to war
rant war, welcomes the warnings to
Japan in the French press, which. the
Russ says. has lost patience with the
malicious campaign, which prevents a
peaceful settlement and regrets that
hitherto the contlnentaPpres has done
nothing to check the agitation in the
British newspapers.
The paper says that il the newspaper
exaGgerations had been eliminated,
there was no reason why the negotia-
tions should not already have reached
peaceful settlement. The situation,
the Russ adds. is now acute, but may
not result in war.
