HIS BODY Recovered.
Vessel Was to Have Sailed Sal.
urday But the Crew Was Miss
ing Until Late at Night.
MATE SLEPT ON THE DOCK
Was Aroused Too Late to be O
Any Assistance to the Captain
Funeral Arranged For.

The sloop Chief, with her captain,
Charles o. Berg, aboard, sank Sat
urday night while lying off Berry's
dock in the Woodbridge creek.
Men went to work there yesterday
and recovered the body, which, after
being viewed by Coroner Bishop, of
this city, was removed to Hirner's
undertaking establishment, at Wood
bridge.
1t is said that the schooner was to
have left Saturday afternoon, but did
not do so on account of the crew and
captain not appearing. Some time
last night, probably early in the eve
ming, Captain Berg was seen to go
aboard the sloop, and it is thought,
lay down and went to sleep. While
he was slumbering, unconscious of
any danger, the boat went down.
The Mate Arrived.
Richard Burns, the mate of the
sloop. came to the dock at about II
O'Clock Saturday night, and seeing no
boat lay down on the wharf and
slept until morning. He was awak-
ened by man, yesterday, who asked
him where the captain of the craft
was, and told Burns, who seemed to
be slightly intoxicated. that his sloop
had sunk. "Oh, yes" said the mate,
and on becoming aroused, ran for
assistance, which resulted in the find
ing of the drowned captain. The
captain, it is said, was somewhat un-
der the influence of liquor, when he
reached the dock Saturday night, and
bottle was found lying near him on
the dock yesterday morning, at the
time he was aroused.
According to Investigation, the
sloop must have been sinking when
the captain went aboard, and not no.
ticing anything wrong, went to bed
at once. The sloop was to leave for
Cheesequake creek yesterday, and is
said to be one of the oldest crafts in
the harbor.
AS near as can be learned, Berg
has no relatives, with the exception
of brother in South Amboy.
The funeral will be held from the
undertaker's at O'Clock tomorrow
afternoon

500 AT ST. MARY'S
ParOchial School Opened This Morn
ing With Slight Increase.

Over 500 children attended the
opening of the st. Mary's parochial
school this morning. While this
number is not much larger than that
OF last year, Father O'Connell ex-
poets the attendance to increase grad.
ually. When the pupils arrived at
the school this morning, they found
everything was new, and not one de-
tail had been left out to make the
general routine of work in accord
ance with some recent plans. Father
O'Connell at recent mass spoke of
the way parents take their children
from the school and send them to
the public schools. He does not
agree with them on that point, and
urges that the members of his parish
send their children to the parochial
school.
An addition may be built to the
school soon, to accommodate the in
creasing number of pupils.

Large congregations attended the
Baptist church yesterday when their
house of worship was opened for SER
vice for the first time since it's reno
vation. Everyone was delighted with
the interior appearance. The pastor,
Rev. w. p. Hill, dedicated the organ
and the several gifts.
The first thing noticed upon enter
ing was the aisle arrangement. There
are now three instead of two. The
center one is broad and leads direct
from the door to the pulpit. The two
side aisles are narrow and are next to
the wall, with seats only on one side.s
In the center back OF the pulpit
stands the beautiful organ with its
gilded pipes, making a pretty effect
with the handsomely frescoed green
walls. The green carpet covers the
floor completely, and the woodwork
is finished in oak.
The pulpit furnishings are all new
and add completeness to the whole.
The music in itself was an inspi-
ration and the sermon was enjoyed
by everyone.
Mr.. Hill took two texts. His first
was from the 11Sth Psalm. 25th
verse: Save now, | beseech thee, o
Lord; o Lord, | beseech thee. send
now prosperity"
The second text was from Matthew
6;S3; But seek ye first the kingdom
of God and his righteousness, and all
these things shall be added unto
you''
Mr., Hill pointed out that the
church wanted prosperity as well as
the individual, but the way to be
prosperous was to seek first the king
dom of God.
AT the close of the regular service,
brief dedication service was held.
Mr.. Hill read off the list of gifts, and
then a prayer was offered with the
congregation standing, followed by
singing Praise God, From Whom
All Blessings Flow" ~
The gifts consist of a lecture q
sented by Mrs. Jones, of
Park, q former member or
church; the communion table by
Samuel Watson; the pulpit cha
Miss Ethel Kioeh's Sunday s,
class; the pulpit Bible by the pril
department of the Sunday scho
the pulpit hymna!s by friends, an
the pedestal by Mrs. Martin.
The organ was paid for partly by a
gift from Andrew Carnegie and part
ly by the members themselves.
Ernest Hilsdorf presided at the
new organ. He was assisted by
choir. The new organ gave the ut
most satisfaction, and assisted great
ly in the singing.
AT the evening service the Orpheus
Glee Singers were feature, and a
solo was sung by Mr.. Treat. The
church was filled and the day closed
one of the most successful occasions
in the history of the local Baptists.

ARE
ACTIVE AGAIN
Police Have Numerous Cases on
Their HandS--AII RObberieS
in Center of City.
THINK GANG AT WORK.

On account of the number of re-
cent robberies, it is said that gang
of petty thieves is working in this
city. Two more robberies have been
added to the list, both in the center
of the city, and although the losses
are small, the style of entrance tends
to make the police believe that the
same parties committed both of them.
EARLY yesterday morning, entrance
to Fowler's confectionery was gained
through a rear window, by some of
the gang, and after. they had broken
open cash register, a number of
chewing gum machines, and secured
about sc in change, made their exit
as mysteriously as they had entered.
Mr. Fowler says that a number of
10c cakes of chocolate were stolen,
also some pound boxes of candy Fur
ther than this, he does not know, but
expects to make a thorough eXamina-
tion today.
A Salvation Army contribution box
which was on the counter and filled
with small change, was carried away
by the thieves, who probably could
not get it open.
Another Robbery.
The store of Wagner & Wurtzel, at
377 State street, was also entered but
search of the place revealed that
nothing had been taken.
One of the proprietors on entering
the store yesterday morning, saw
that the papers on the desk were
scattered around, and also saw that
the books were in a state of confu-
sion. Going to the rear of the place,
he found one of the windows open,
and at once knew that some one had
been in the store.
The police were notified at once in
both instances, and if possible will
try and locate the thieves, who from
their work, seem like amateurs.
