schooner Ella Francis was sunk in col
lision With the Nantucket last Saturday
night. Mate Wentworth was the only

place 10 dense foe off Norsuch Light,
Cape Cod. The schooner at the time OF
the collision was bound from Elizabeth,
n. j., to Rockland, Me-, with cargo
of 240 tons of coal. When the vessels
came together the fog horns were blow
ing on each. The Nantucket struck the
schooner with such force as to cut the
entire bow away and the vessel sank i'm
mediately. Those who were lost were
Captain Thorndike, of Rockland, Me-,
and w. Harvey, Mike Seaton, and Her
bert Gray, all of Rockport, Me. Those
who we're drowned were in one of the
schooner's boats, wAich was drawn under

mate, however, remained aboard the
schooner, and was in imminent danger
of drowning, when the boat from the
steamship reached him just in time.

A NEW USE for lager beer has been
discovered. The beverage, it is said,
will keep mosquitoes at safe distance,
as well as afford immediate relief from
the burning and itching incident to the
bites of these pests. According to the
Baltimore Sun, this discovery has been
made by Capt Chas. X. Adams, of the
Maryland Pilots Association, whose at
tention was accidentally called to the
preventive and antidote. Heretofore
many people have made liberal use of
coal oil in order to escape the annoyance
occasioned by mosquitoes. The odor of
beer is more pleasant and equally as
efficacious.

The Decentralization Against Turkey.

Paris, Aug. 9.-Government circles
consider the action of the United States
in sending warships to Turkey as fully
justified under the circumstances. No
international complications are appre-

BIeeest Coal Cargo on Record.

Twelve thousand tons of coal will be
shipped from the Greenwich coal piers
TO the Pacific coast on the new steam
ship Minnesota, which will leave New
London in about two weeks for Philadel-
phia. The Pennsylvania Railroad has
already begun making preparations for
the loading Of the vessel. twill be the
largest cargo of the kind ever shipped
from an American port, but it will not
by any means fill the vessels hold, as
the steamer, which is the largest vessel
under the, American flag, would take
twice as much were it not for the great
draft necessary to float her to sea when
loaded to her full capacity.
The Minnesota is of "a, 600 gross tons
capacity and her maximum draft will be
q feet when she shall leave Philadel-
phia, which, it is considered, will allow
her to pass over the shoals in safety 1t
will require 240cars of so tons capacity

-Four Points In Making Tea.

The president of the American
Tea association, writing in a well

are four exact rules to be followed
in making tea, and the neglect of
any one Of them will render the ar
ticle vaIueless. Nearly every house
wife .neglects at least one" The
four rules are these: The water
must be freshly drawn from the
faucet. It should boil hard for five
minutes before pouring on the tea

leaves not less than seven and not
more than ten minutes and should
then be poured off into another

The Aberdeen Sand and Lime
Brick Corporation.

The enterprise that promises
most for Aberdeen at this time is
the Sand and Lime Brick Corpor-
alton that is in process of creation
with Messrs. Geo. c, Paine, Robt
Kaye and b. G. WEIGH AS com.
mittee on organization.
This corporation will operate
with capital stock of $40, 10000
and will erect a plant having ca
pacity of $4,000 merchantable
brick per day.
The brick will be made of pc
culiar kind of sand which abounds
here at Aberdeen. On being mix
cd with little lime after a partic-
ular method, this sand is manufac-
tu-cd into the highest grade of
building brick, having the quail
ties of durability, finish, color, etc.
far surprising the brick made of
clay, and can be made at much
less cost. Their cheapness and su-
perior qualities will make them
the popular building material, and
at no distant day they will
supplant the clay brick entirely.
Samples of these bricks, made
of the sand taken from pits here
at Aberdeen, were exhibited at
tais Office yesterday by Mr.. b. &.
WEIGH. They were gray in color,
smooth, compact and bearing con-
siderable resemblance to stone.
We were informed by Mr. WEIGH
that blanks for description 10 the
stock of this corporation can be
had of him; also, that he will glad
ly explain To any Interested the
nature of the corporation and ex-
hibit specimens of the brick made
from the Aberdeen sand.
A plant like this, employing
probably several hundred hands
i'm the converting of mineral
wealth into "A mar ketable product,
would be great stride towards IN
dustrial development for Aberdeen
and help the town in more ways
than one.
The Weekly hopes that those
having capital to invest will inves-
tigate the advantages offered by
this corporation. and that the plant
may he erected and put in opera
ton at an early date.
