OF THEIR FATE
Victims Of tho FrghHu Railway Disaster at Salisbury Eng
land, Felt That Some Disaster Was impending and Dis
cussed Their Feelings With Friends On the Dock Before
Sailing From New York. Of One Party Of Five Only One
Survives Of Another Of Seven But Two Escaped Death

been singularly anectionate and when
their acquaintances learned last night OF
the horror at Salisbury the conversation
was vividly recalled.
IL was due TO circumstances, also,
that John l.. Mcdonald wealthy
turfman, was among the dead. That
circumstance was devotion TO his all
ing wife. Two weeks ago Mr.. Nc
Donald had planned for the voyage,
but because OF the illness OF his wife
he postponed the trip until her health
was improved when she accompanied
him.
When the New York sailed from her
pier there were seven persons in a
small group, all OF whom were well
known. and OF all the happy crowd on
the great liner no persons were more
cheerful than they. out OF the seven
two survive.
In the party were Mrs. Lillias Hurd
Waite, one OF the best known milli-
ners in New York. and the wife OF
former Alderman Charles B. Waite.
John l.. Mcdonald and Mrs. Mcdonald; /;
Charles T. McMeekin. the Kentucky
turfman; Mrs. c. w. Elphicke. and her
daughter OF Evanston. Ill, and Miss
Mary r. Howieson. who conducted
millinery business I'm this city.
They were all old friends and II was

tion's birthday in the British capital.
Mrs. Mcdonald and Miss Elphicke
alone escaped.
Perhaps the saddest OF all the announce
ments which the cables brought TO rela-
tives and friends in New York yesterday
was the message received by Judge Dugro
at the Hotel Savoy from his daughter.
Mrs. Frederick Cossitt, stating briefly
that death had ended her brief honeymoon
trip and that she would return TO New
York with tho body OF her husband
Attended by many OF the supreme court
Judges OF the city and persons promi-
rent IN New Yorks best society the Co.'S
sits wedding at the Savoy had been one
OF the most notable OF the June nuptials.
Miss Dugro was admired by very large
circle OF friends and her husband was
one of the most popular men In Prince
ton When the young couple sailed they
were accompanied To the pier by many OF
their friends. who attended the wedding.
What adds 10 the severity OF the blow Is
the fact that Judge Dugro and his family
were 10 sail tomorrow 10 join their daugh-
ter and son-in-law In London. All ar
rangements had been made for a trip on
the continent together and Judge Dugro
was expecting a message from his dsugh-
ter announcing their safe arrival in Lon
don when the cable was received telling
OF the catastrophe at Salisbury.

friendship that they had planned TO hold
