turn trip to New York, leaving
Bridgeport at 8 o'clock. A high sea
was running at the time and it was
blowing and raining. Sdmething went
wrong with the motor machinery
when they were three miles off Nor
walk and they started to make re-
pairs. 1t was while they were at work
fixing the machinery that big. wave
struck the boat and capsized it.
Edward Auth got to the sloop first
and he aided the others to reach it.
One by one the four young men, be-
numbed by the cold and wet to the
skin, lost their grips on the sloop and
were washed away and drowned. Ed
ward Auth was the only one that had
strength enough to keep his grip.
The four who were drowned were
all less than thirty years old, single,
and mechanics.
Captain McGoldrick lives at 50
Commerce street and is well known
here. He has been in the employ of
the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company

captains the company has. He has
two sons who are also captains of

THREE DEAD IN
A NEWARK FIRE
Turn Verein Hall in William ST.
Destroyed Early This
Morning.
EIGHT FAMILIES IN PERIL.

NEWARK, June 3:-Three 8 lives
were lost and thousands of dollars
damage was done in a fire-the worst
that Newark has had in years which
started shortly before 2 o'clock this
morning in Newark Turn Verein Hall,
1873 William street.
The known dead are:
HOENEKE, JOSEPH, janitor of the
Turn hall, 1888 William street,
burned to death in his apartments.
HOENEKE, MRS. JOSEPH, wife of
the janitor, overcome by smoke and
burned to death.
HONENKE, -, child of the jani-
tor, overcome by smoke and burn
ed to death.
At 3 o'clock the fire was considered
under control. 1t had practically
wiped out the building at 1872 and 1874
and the structure of the Turner'S at
1856 and 1873. Chief Kiersted at that
time said that he believed there had
been but three fatalities.
The flames, famed by strong
northeast wind, spread with great ra-
pidity, and for time conflagration
| of serious proportions was threatened.
Chief Kiersted took in the situation
at glance and Immediately on his
arrival at the scene he ordered a
second and a third alarm turned in.
Despite the volumes of water pour
ed into the building it had little eff
feet and when the firemen saw that il
would be impossible to save it they
put all their energy into saving ad
joining property. Stream after
stream was turned onto structures
adjoining that which was burning.
1t was not long before the work OF
the men began to tell, but not before
the flames had caught the roof of the
next door house But here the spread
was stopped and the fire mastered.
A strong northeast wind drove the
flames before it, threatening the rows
of tenements in William and other
streets of the thickly populated dis
tricts. Hundreds of frightened men,
women and children. many of them
clad only lit their night clothes, fled
from their homes, or were aroused
and driven out by police or flremen.
The buildings on William street,
from West to High, and from West
street to Springfield avenue, were
threatened with destruction.
There were eight families in the big
Turn Verein structure. The Turn
Hall was on the second floor, and the
tenants occupied the other five floors.
Policemen Gilroy and Murray dis
covered the flames and broke in a
rear door. They rushed upstairs, to
find that the flames We're gaining
rapid headway They began to rouse
the sleeping tenants. and hurried
them from the building.
It was supposed that all had been

PRESSERS STILL OUT
AT TERRA GOTTA PLANT

A number of men are now back at
work at the New Jersey Terra Gotta
works, but most all of the pressers
are still out, although the laborers
have returned, having been granted
the desired increase in wages by the
company.
The pressers quit because they
would not work with non-union la
borers, and it was expected that the
pressers would return today.
Superintendent w. H. Griswold
was very reticent when questioned
this morning. He admitted that the
pressers were still out and said he
thought he knew why, but he would
not discuss the matter.
The pressers refused to return to
work until the factory officials were
ready to take them back in body
The officials commenced to pick out a
few of the men whom they wanted
to return, but this method was OBJ
jected to by all the pressers and none
returned to work The pressers are
independent in their dealings with
the company as they belong to the
terra Gotta workers union and when
they act, they do so in a body inde-
pendent of any individual. As the
matter now stands the men will only
return to work when they are all
taken back When that will be done
has not yet been decided by the fac
tory officials, who wanted only eigh-
teen men this morning.
The company is advertising today
for fifteen pressers and finishers and
twenty-five young men to learn the
trade, which would indicate that they
do not intend to take back the work
men who are now out.

 WITH BIG STEAM PUMP

The men who are interested in the Susitna district are going about it's development in manner which will get results, be they good or bad. On the Pennsylvania will be received an eight-horse power steam boiler and a No. 2 Cameron pump which will be freighted into the district to be used in prospecting the ground. Dan Rose, Clark Duff and R. Smith are the ones who are taking the boiler in. It has been impossible to sink to bedrock, where it is confidently believed a rich pay streak exists on many of tn claims on Valdez creek, owing to the water. The ground is about seventy feet deep and it is intended to use the boiler and pump in keeping the water out until bedrock is reached and thus determine the value of the claims Valdez News.
