LINER ASHORE
NEAR NEW YORK
Big Vessel Grounds at Night
and Is Believed to Be in
Position of Great Danger
SEA BATTLES RESCUERS
Identity of Ship Not Yet
Known, but 1t May Be One
Of Transatlantic Craft
SEA BATTLES RESCUERs
Special Dispatch to The Can.


NEW YORK, June. 6.-Hard and fast
ashore about mile and a half from the
Short Beach Life Saving Station near
FIeeport. Long Island, is a big steam
ship. which is believed to be one Of the
transatlantic liners. So high sea Is
running that it has been impossible for
the life savers to reach her. Captain
Smith of the Short Beach station says he
believes the ship to be in great danger.
adding that there is slight chance of her
escaping without serious damage The
vessel is fastened high on the bar about
half mile from the spot where a ship
in the Chinese trade went ashore two
years ago and was pounded to pieces.
1t was at high tide at about O'Clock
last night that the ship went aground.
The first known Of her distress was when
the residents of Freeport heard her
whistle. Tire ship was then burning red
fire and rom her deck signaling with a
strong searchlight.
The life saving station at Freeport is
abandoned, there being only one man in
charge. The steamship stopped signaling
at about $50 o'clock and began playing
two searchlights in an effort to locate
her position.
Persons living on the coast are positive
that the grounded vessel is one OF the big
liners They base this belief on the long
line of lights showing The incoming lin
ers scheduled to arrive to-day include the
Kaiser Wilhelm III, the Cretlc and the
Astoria
The coast lookouts of the Merritt-Chap-
man Company reported TO their office In
this city that the steamship was ashore,
but said no calls had been made for as
sistance.
The steamship is off what is known as
Jones Beach, a long, low-lying sandbar
about seven or eight miles to the west
Of Fire Island.

two Mexicans on a dark street tonight,
Detective Joseph Ritch of the Los An

less than a dozen feet the fight waged
until both revolvers were emptied. The
men disappeared into a row of shacks
and escaped. An examination of the
route they took disclosed numerous
blood spots.

A dealer makes soc more on fourteen gallons of ready y-for-use paint, at $1.5O per gallon, than our agent does on eight gallons of L. & M. paint and six gallons of linseed oil, which make fourteen gallons of the best paint in the world, at sl.2O per gallon; the prop erty-owner loses just $4.20.

The worst of all was that the doctor could give me no hope of recovery"
 "How were you cured?'
 ''I read in newspaper that Dr Will liams' Pink Pills had cured locomotor ataxia and one or two friends spoke to me about them. In the fall of 1903 l began to take them for myself and l had not used more than one box be- fore l found that the pains in my knees and ankles were greatly: reliev- ed.

 Edward H. Ariel lives at No. 43 Powow street, Amesbury, Mass. Ev- cry sufferer from locomotor ataxia should try Dr Williams Pink Pills without delay. There is no reason why they should not do for others all all that they have done for MT Ariel. They also cure sciatica, neuralgia and partial paralysis. Any druggist can supply them.

VICTIM HAD BECOME HELPLESS WHEN 1 HE TRIED DIR WILLIAMS PINK PILLS, | BUT WAS CURED IN FOUR MONTHS,
 Because he did not know that there
 IS remedy for locomotor ataxia. M, Ariel endured four years of weakness pam and the misery of thinking his
 case to be incurable. Any druggist
 could have told him that pr Williams
 Fink Pills, after establishing reputa-
 tlon for the quick and thorough cure of ordinary nervous disorders, had been used In cases of ataxia with results that were astonishing even to the makerS of that great nerve remedy.
 The Dr Williams Medicine Company investigated these cases carefully, found the facts beyond dispute. and the cures lasting. Then the victims Of lOcomOtOr ataxia were told to de- spai1 no longer. In the hope that it may shorten the misery of others sim ilarly afflicted, MT Ariel makes the statement:
 "At the outbreak of the Spanish war l went with Company B, Eighth Regiment, M. V. M., into camp at Chickamauga, and while there my system became thoroughly poisoned with malaria. When I was out, I carried that disease | home with me. After a while locomo- tor ataxia appeared"
 "How did the ataxia begin?"
 "I first noticed pain in my ankles and knee joints. This was followed by numb feeling in my legs. I was at work in the Portsmouth, N. H., Navy Yard when the symptoms first appeared. At times I had to drag my self around; my legs would shake or become perfectly dead"
