DR|FTED
ALL NIGHT
ON SOUND

IL was a hazardous trip undertaken by
Capt. William r. Flanagan and Marine
Engineers John Deiory and II. ii. Roosa
with one sailor Cyrus True. to deliver the
two steam launches OF the Nautical
Preparatory school equipment TO their
destination at .Tompkins Cove. n. Y.
At least that is the Impression created
by the narrative OF the trip by the men
who returned TO this city yesterday. after
having been gone since the 18th of last
month. The trip was hazsrdous at best.
but to be adrift on the sound one entire
night and helplessly freezing to death by
slow stages was at least uncomfortable.
The builder of the vessels ordered them
to be brought to the factory. 90 miles UP
the Hudson. and the captain with the men
with him undertook To perform the task.
To the poor condition of the engines the
trip was not rapid as expected.
After coaling at stonington Capt. Fian-
nigan and the crew made another start
toward the west. This time they reached
New London, where the water supply was
replenished. The cruise was being made
in easy stages owing to the condition OF
the engines. which refused to do the work
they were capable OF doing. The party
remained at New London over Sunday.

the time thcy started from Providence.
On the trip from New London the added
strain on the engines soon manifested IT.

work satisfactorily from the start, gave

Q. This occurred when the craft were
off Stratford light
The launches were thus left at the
mercy OF the waves. which tossed them
about like fioa ting wreckage. The men
were compelled TO face the prospect OF
spending the night on the sound without
food or fire and ractically no shelter I'm
what was little better than an open boat.
They had enough canvas to>make sails.
but there were no maets in the launches.
and so II was impossible for them 10 make
any headway whatever.
The launches were finally sighted by
the oyster steamer Ostrea. Capt. Decker.
which was out gathering oysters. Capt.
Flanagan and his men signalled distress
by raising their hats and coats on poles
and the Ostrea came TO their aid.
After hearing the story of the four men
who had been drifting about all night long
Capt. Decker towed them TO Bridgeport.
where the engines were repaired at the
Connecticut Boiler works.
The two disabled launches had been re-
ported I'm distress by the keeper OF the
Stafford lighthouse on the previous night
The men then started in the launches
for New York. which port they reached
without any further trouble.

There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition of the mucous lin

this tube gets infiamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
flammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever I;

damages for alleged breach Of contract.
The ease was tried in Justice Young's
court first and judgment for a few

taken to quarterly court. During the
trial this morning the defendant stated
the reason he refused TO permit Norwood
with whom he had contracted TO sell
hamburger steaks at Wallace park TO
sell the steaks was that the Dutchman
who ran the theatre objected to the

Judge Lightfoot remarked that, at
was the Dutch who originated this steak
and Il would surprise me Just as much

The attorney for Nlaholeas remarked
that II was probably the audiences at
the theatre that objected and not the
Dutchman running the theatre.

CROP REPORT
VEGETATION SUFFERS SOME
FROM A LIGHT FROST.

The following is the Kentucky crop
report:
The temperature averaged consider
ably below the normal for the week.
Light frosts were reported in many
localities on the 10Th and 10th. Ten
der vegetation suffered a little, but
no serious damage Vas caused by the
frost.
Local showers occurred over the
greater portion Of the state from the
l2th to the l4th, and again on the
18th The rainfall was generally
light. but in some places it was mod.
erately heavy. In the central and
north central portion of the state the
drought has become quite severe,
water for stock being very scarce.
In the localities visited by showers
blowing for winter wheat has ad-
vsnced well and sowing is in progress.
II the weather is favorable. q large
acreage will be sown.
Tobacco cutting has progressed
satisfactorily and quite portion of
the crop 10 in the barn. In some To-
calities slight damage was caused by
frost, but the area affected is small.
Corn has not matured as rapidly az
was expected, on account Of showers
and cool weather. 1t has deteriorated
to some extent and will be somewhat
below the average in yield this is due
to the effect of drought on the late
planting. The early fields are gener-
ally very fine.
Winter apples have continued to
drop and the yield will be light and
quality very poor.
In some localities visited by local
showers pastures have improved. but
they are badly dried mp in others.
Irish and sweet potatoes are quite
good. but garden vegetables have dried
up and are becoming scarce.
Hemp is turning out rather better
than expected, and millet and sor
shum are quite good.
Farm work is well up with the ex.
oeption Of blowing, which has been
delayed by dry weat her.
