BARGE LANDSEER ON
BEACH NEAR AB5ECOM
Tug Mary E. ScuIIy Took Crew From
Vessel and Is Supposed to Have
Proceeded Up Coast

Advices We're received from Proyi-
dence, R. l., last night to the effect
that Captain Downey, of the tug John
Scully, which arrived at that port
yesterday from Newport News, re-
ported that while off Absecom, OH the
New Jersey coast, Thursday, he sight
ed the tug Mary e. Scully, bound
from this port for Boston with tow,
standing by the coal-laden barge
Landseer, which was apparently
stranded on the beach.
1t appeared that the tug was taking
the crew off the stranded barge and
she very probably has continued her
voyage to Boston with the remainder
of the tow, leaving the Landseer on
the shore.

A movement was started by the
Exploitation, Commission last night
looking toward the installation OF
about 20 additional electric arc lights
on Washington avenue between
Twenty-fifth and Thirty-fifth streets
during the jamestown Exposition pc
Rod. A special committee composed
of Messrs. j. II. Morton. II. l.. Farrar,
j. II. Sprague and j, j. McKeon. was
appointed to wait on the merchants
along the avenue and ascertain wheth-
er or not they will pay the cost of
maintaining the lights during the Ex-
position.
1t is estimated that 1t will cost in
the neighborhood of $500 TO install
this number of lamps, but If the mer-
chants will pay for the maintenance
of the lights 1t is proposed that the
commission pay the cost of Installing
them.
The plan is to place two additional
arcs in each block, making three
lamps to the block, which would
make the avenue by night almost as
light MS by day.
The commission met in the parlors
of the Pocahontas hotel with n large
attendance. The finance committee
reported that after paying for the ad.
vertisements to lie run in the May
issue of Munsey's and McClure's
Magazines, the commission would
have a cash balance of 5000 with an
additional $500 yet uncoiiected.
The commission unanimously voted
TO have 100000 small folders printed
for distribution out of the city. These
folders will contain interesting facts
about the city. including the hotel
accommodations.

he evinced passion for music, which
he sought every means Of gratifying.

songs as "Jnst Like Love-" 1.-THE Death

of sixteen he had entered on Il military
career in France and the Low Countries.
In 1000 he sought service against the
Turks, who We're then at the height OF

to threaten Vienna itself. On tile way
