stunned. Joseph Van Note was unin-
jured. He chung to the boat shouting
for help. Jesse Sculthorp also caught
hold of the boat, but he soon became
unconscious. Joseph Van Note caught
him as ne was sinking and supported
him with one hand while he chung on
the boat with the other. Frank Hur-

not been to church of late. the vicar
hurried and soon caught up with him.

Saved Unconsciou. Man.

John Rice, young man employed
in Philadelphia and residing in East
Burlington, was severely injured the
other evening in attempting to alight
from the 6.45. eastbound train. Rice
had been informed that a stop would
be made in East Burlington and he
was standing on the steps ready to
get off. When he found that the train
did not stop, he jumped and was
hurled with great force across the
rails Of the westbound track, He was
cut about the head and arms and was
unconscious when found some time
later by Eli Lawrence, who had the
wounded man conveyed to a nearby
hotel. The Amboy mall line passed
shortly after. and If Lawrence had not
found Rice when he did it is probable
that the unconscious man would have
been run over by this train with fatal
results.

Mother Saves SONS Life.

Mrs. Timothy Sullivan, of James
burg, saved her family from being
burned to death in a fire at the Sulli-
van home early in the morning. She
awakened to attend her son, Harry
Sullivan, who was very i'll, and found
the building mass Of flames. After
giving an alarm, Mrs. Sullivan ran to
the room where the sick young man
was lying. She found him in stupor,
he having been overcome by smoke.
Mrs. Sullivan realized that If she wait
ed for assistance for minute the
flames would be upon her. Taking
the youth in her arms, she carried him
through a hallway and down stairs
through clouds Of smoke. Flames
were then bursting through the inte-
rior walls and she was seorched. The
home was completely destroyed, with
the contents. The other members OF
the family had all they could do to
save themselves Several started to
so in after Mrs. Sullivan and the pa

RUSSIA EXPECTS SEA FIGHT

Believed Close Proximity of Fleets
Will Result In Battle.
st. Petersburg, March 9-The where
r abouts of Captain Reitzenstein's Vladi-
vostok squadron is carefully guarded
by the military authorities. but there
is strong impression here that when
the seven japanese warships appeared
off the harbor Sunday and Monday the
Russian squadron was outside, per
haps down the coast cooperating with
the Russian land force near the mouth
of the Tumen river. If the Russians
were outside and the japanese def
nitely ascertained that fact a big sea
fight is probably imminent. as it is
considered certain that the Japanese
in that case will lie on and off Vladi-
vostok to prevent the return of the
Russians. giving battle If they are
caught in the open sea. The harbOrs
along the coast in which the Russians
might seek refuge are frozen, and tho
squadron must eventually be forced to
return 70 Vladivostok for coal.
A naval service organ here argues
lengthily that the present japanese
naval disposition presages a move
ment on a large scale in the Sea of
Japan. and the paper accounts for all
the japanese ships except the battle
ship Yashima and the armored cruiser
Tokiwa, one first class protected cruis-
er and five second class. reckoning the
battleships Full and Shillishima. the
armored cruisers Iwate and Asama
and the protected cruiser Takashiho
as being injured.

That is the terse advice we want to
give you about that hacking cough

remedy for it to-day-and let that
remedy be DR.. Boschee's German
Syrup, which has been in use for over
thirty five years. A few doses of 1t
will undoubtedly relieve your cough
or cold, and its continued use for a
few days wifi cure you completely.

will surely effect a cure-as it has
done before in thousands of appar-
emily hopeless cases of lung trouble.
