BURNED OFF NEW JERSEY SHORE
Explosion and Fire on Vessel Wit
 messed by Thousands.


 ATLANTIC CITY. \. J., Dec. 22.- The barge Baker. bound from New York for Philadelphia, in tow, has been burned to the waters edge of the coast here
 When first sighted she was so hid den by fire. smoke and fog that her name was indistinguishable.
 Soon after the rumble of an explo- sion was distinctly heard on shore. and a great mass of flame shot out of the ships hull. She was drifting toward shore with the mountainous swell. and it became evident to the most san guine that unless her crew had es- caped in the boats there was no help for them.
 Meanwhile the piers and shores were lined with thousands of men, women and children. watching the thrilling spectacle through glasses and hoping against hope for the crew.
 As soon as the ship came in nearer her name was made out.
 It Is presumed the crew was taken off by the tug Sea King. which was towing the Baker. The Absecon life saving crew at a late hour went out to the turning barge. but could do nothing to save the vessel Nothing was seen of tBe tEz Sea King nor of the Isrge Reading. which the Ses King also had in tow
 The Baker had probably been burn ing an night. but was not seen from here until the morning. when she had foated to within five miles of this shore.

Girl Takes Her Life.

Annie Smith. a Polish girl about 17 years of age. tried to commit suicide yesterday afternoon at about j o'clock at her boarding house on Spring street. Annie came tO this country some time ago and secured work in one of the local rubber factories. and it is said that sine not being as apt at the work as some of her fellow country women. she in some manner lost her position. left the factory. went to her home and sent a little girl out for some Paris green. As soon as the little girl returned with the poison Annie took a large dose of it and then went into nearby store and told the proprietor what she had done. He would not believe her so she went to her boarding house and was very snuu taken sick from the effects Of the poison. Dr Krpll was summoned and when he arrived she begged him tO let her .Iie as she did not have any thing to live for and did not care 10 live. But instead 0f doing this the doctor did everything in his power to save her. The doctor said that a great deal of the poison had gotten into her system and that her chances for re- ,7Overy were very small. the cOBS-- quences being that the girl died last night at about 12 o'clock This is a story that is indeed very sad. to sev the least \ youmz and pretty GIrl alone in a strange country no friends ur relatives and without position Of any kind. especially at this time of the rear

DON'T WANT THEM.
Meriden Police Hope lilly Jumpers
 yKy;Il Not Ca,,,a

Meriden Police Hope lilly Jumpers
 s-n Will Not Come. ~- s The fact that representative of the Holy Ghost and Us society, commonly known as the Holy Jumpers from the peculiar antics exhibited by them in their meetings. was here last Sunday Meriden with band Of the members of his sect and hold meetings, has caused considerable interest on the part of the public, and some anxiety on the part of the police department.
 When seen by a. Record man Chief Van Nostrand said he hopes they will not come,r for wherever they have been there has bsen much disorder, particu- larly on the part of the people attend ing the services. There seems to be no legal way to prevent such meetings be- ing held as the Jumpers" will not have to obtain license because they do not charge an admission fee to their meet. ings. If they held them in the open air
 permission would have to be granted by the mayor, and it is doubtful if 1t could be secured.
 Sergeant Loomis, of the West Haver police force, was interviewed about the Holy Jumpers" who for some time have been holding meetings in that bor ough. He saida We had considerable trouble on account of the meetings bn
 not so much with the Jumpers as with those who attended the. meetings
 They hold very peculiar services and
 cut up some very funny antics whicl seem to, us a travesty on religion, A | first their meetings were held in Tenn perance hall but on account of the dis | order caused by those who attended thu Women's Christian Temperance union
 owners of the "building. d!spossesset | them, and they are now holding thei | services in private house. City Attorney Bush looked up tn ! law, but could find nothing that coult be used to prevent the meetings."-
