1iplcheTous Reefs and Sand Bars of the St Lawrence Claimed
 Many Victims
VESSELS SWEPT TO PIECES
Most Thrilling Wreck Wa. the Russian Ship Sovinto on
 November 6.

Chatham, N. B., Nov 23.-Half a hundred lives were lost and nearly score of vessels were swept to de- struction on the treacherous reefs and sand bars of the gulf and river St Lawrence during the season of naviga- ton now drawing to close. Of six ty persons who perished in these wa ters within the past year, nearly fifty met death this month, the most disss- trous to shipping In the St Lawrence m dozen years. The financial losses aggregated quarter of million dol lars.
 The majority of those who perished were lost from square rigged vessels or foreign register. The most thrilling wreck this month was that of the Russian full rigged iron ship Sovinto, or Helsingfore, which struck on a bar on Priests pond, F. E. l., during fu- rious northeast gale, on the night of November 6. while on voyage from Dalhousie, N. B., for Melbourne, All stralia, with a cargo of lumber. Three or the four masts went overheard within half an hour after the vessel stuck. Several of the crew were kill cd by the falling spars. The big ship broke in two soon afterwards, and one-half of the crew reached shore. In all ten of the Sovlnto's men perished.
 Another disastrous wreck was that of the Norwegian bark Adeona, of Arendal. which was driven ashore by the same storm at Richibucto. Cap tain Johansen and his ten men, one of them German student, after remain. Ing on board two days, evidently fear ed that the great seas, which were constantly dashing over the vessel, would mash her to pieces, and during the height of the gale they launched q boat and attempted to reach the land. The boat was capsized by comber, and the entire crew was drowned. The masts of the vessel went by the board and everything moveable was swept Into the sea. The crew could have saved their lives, however, by remain ing aboard ship, as the hull withstood the tremendous seas for ten days. When It was possible for a life saving crew to reach the derelict, the ships eot Wao AOuhu uAso III tuG AOACCuStiCs The Adeona was bound from Rexton for Preston, England. with lumber
 Yesterday another Norwegian bark, supposed to be the Mazda of Skien, bound from Riviera du Loup. Que, for Buenos Ayes, was lost with all on board. The vessel struck on Red isl- and reef and foundered. It is thought that the captain. his pilot and twelve men, were lost.
 Half dozen lives have been lost in the wrecks of schooners during the fall. but only four on board the dozen steamers stranded were drowned.
 The transatlantic line steamer Ba- varian, which struck on Crosse Isle, Gulf om St Lawrence, last fall, was fioated a week ago. As all the largo vessels which were lost this fall wero insured. heavy loss falls on the un- derwriters.

 Regions
TROOPS ACCOMPANY OFFICIALS

Paris, Nov 23.-The taking of the church inventories, under the law pro viding for the separation of church and state, in the mountainous regions of France, where an abundance of snow has fallen, is progressing slow ly on account of the hostility of the population which compels the troops sent with the state officials to con- duct regular military operations, keep open their lines of communication and bring up supplies.
 The authorities of Marseilles have begun legal action against Bishop An drian, of that city, because of the vio- lent language he used in protesting against the action of the authorities under the church and state separation laws.

CITY NEWS

As a result of dog bite, the To- years-old son of the fruit dealer in the old Earle house at the corner of Bank and Meadow streets, has a very sore leg and 1t looks very much as though blood poisoning may set in. He was bitten a few days ago by a dog owned by a liveryman. A doctor was needed this afternoon to dress the wounds.
 There was a good breeze blowing about town to-day and men whose hats didn't At tightly had a hard job taking care of them. In some in- stances half dozen men were chas- ing their hats through Exchange place and it was amusing to see how the headgears managed to keep out of the way of their owners. One would think that they were very much dissatisfied with the places assigned to them and were making frantic ef- forts not to be captured and made to cover the heads of their masters any more. Once a hat gets out of your reach it is much better to stand and let 1t futter around for a few minutes and the chances are that somebody vill pick It up. and In this way you will come into possession of it again quicker than if you pursued it with all the speed at your com msnd-

 "Caruso did not remember but would not say he had not been there.

COAL AND THE SOUTHERN MILLS

The Industrial revolution that has
been going on at the South during the
last twenty-five years is told in the
figures Of the coal production OF that
section, says the Republic.
While the output Of all the coal
mines of the United States has in.
creased between seven and eight
times in that period-from 1900. 600
tons to 3l5.OOO.OOO tons-the output
Of Southern mines has increased
thirteen times-from G,l57OOO to
nearly SO.OOO.OOO tons.
The greatest increase has been in
West Virginia, which in 1850 produc.
ed only 100000 tons, while in 1905
the quantity was 37SOO.OOO. which
was almost exactly the output Of the
Illinois mines in the same year.
Texas which reported no coal in
1850. dug 100000 tons in 1905. The
Indian Territory with only $4,000
tons in 1850, turned up 100000 tons
Iast year while Arkansas got on,
about 100000 in 1905, against only
10 0 tons in 1900
D. course the greatest Increase is
reported from Alabama. which had
only $4,000 tons in 1850. and by 1905
increased the output Of its mines to
12.OOOOOO tons, an increase Of nearly
.furty-fold
A considerable part Of this enor.
mously increased coal production
has been used for heating, taking the
place Of wood or of coal brought from
other states, but most of it has been
burned to make power for productive
industries. The figures give in a nut
shell the story OF the most remarka
bic industrial development that has
taken place in the same time in any
other part of the country.
