HILL BACK ON THE JOB.
Former GOrernor to Boss Democratic
State Cam pai gn.

Unwillingly but because of pressure brought
to bear upon him by Democratic national leaders
and particularly because of appeal by Mr.
Bryan to his party loyalty, it now seems GER
tain that David B. Hill will return to active
political life through becoming chairman OF the
Democratic state advisory committee soon to be
named by Chairman Conners. This would mean.
it was said last night. that the former Governor
would run the state campaign.
Mr. Hill came here yesterday from his home
in Albany and had q long conference with
Murphy and Conners. While Mr.. Murphy said
last night that decision had been reached
as TO the craftsmanship Of the advisory commit
tee it was understood that when Mr.. Hill left
here for his home at 1 o'clock yesterday after
noon he had practically agreed to take the place
The only other man who was talked of for it
was Thomas N. Osborne. of Auburn, and he
only in the now improbable event of Mr.. Hills
declination.
Bryan visited Wolferts Roost on Sunday for
the express purpose of getting Mr.. Hill to act as
chairman of the advisory committee. Mr. Hill,
it is understood at first declined absolutely to
consider such proposition. He told Mr.. Bryan
in effect that he was through with politics, had
retired and wanted TO stay retired"
Then it was that the Peerless One played his
trump card. He made a strong appeal to Mr.
Hill on the grounds of party loyalty. He told
tae former governor lIldl ne was the oiliS HIGH
in the Democratic party in this state who could
harmonize 1.-The warning elements Of the party
He pointed out to him the vital necessity Of
carving the state this fall. The Democratic
Presidential nominee clinched his arguments
with the statement that Hill owed it to his
party to take the place.
It was then that Mr.. Hill made a quasi
promise, it is understood, 10 accept the chair
manship and, following this promise. the
conference with Murphy and Conners here yes

SWEPT FROM HIS DECK
CAPTAIN DIES IN STORM.
Hurricane GiUes Fruit Steamer Ter
rible Battle.

The little fruit steamer Senator. from Port
Antonio. which had a terrific fight for four days
with the recent West Indian hurricane, arrived
here last night in command of her chief officer.
Captain Aarsbold, her master, having been
washed into the by a comber that broke
over the bow
The little steamer had fair weather when she
cleared Port Antonio. but when two days out the
barometer dropped suddenly and Captain Aars-
bold ordered the to prepare for storm.
He anxious to make port quickly as he
could because of the perishable cargo of fruit
he had taken on at Jamaica. When coming up
from the West Indies all fruit steamers leave
their matches open 10 give sufficient ventilation
and coolness to their fruit cargoes-
Captain Aarsbold that big storm was
coming ur and battened his matches The work
was hardly done when the hurricane kicked up
a tremendous Tons Of water pounded on
the deck and slapped with terrific force against
the house. Within half an hour after the gale
began it increased to a velocity of eighty miles
an hour, and the Senator could hardly keep on
her course.
The captain remained on the bridge through
out the first day and night Of the blow. The
steamer swung around into the trough of the sea
and was tossed furiously about from right to
left. Mountains of water crashed over the
matches and great flood poured into the hold
The pumps, however, which were in good con-
dition able to cope with the flood, and kept
the water from; putting out the fires. Cap
tain Aarsbod got his little craft out of the
trough and hoisted head sail to steady her as
she rode over the heavy seas.
When off Waiting Island, the Bahamas. the
storm threatened to carry away the SAIL and
Captain Aarsbold went forward to superintend
the work of securing it. A high rolling sea
curled over the bow and swept the captain over
board
The comber came quickly and swept aft
with such force that the unfortunate skipper had
opportunity to save himself. When the flood
cleared from the deck the captain was missing,
and il impossible to bring the steamer about
TO get him. The sea like a seething caldron,
and if the steamer had stopped instantly the
captain would have been dashed against its
sides The officers many of the steamers
which arrived here after weathering the hurri-
cane reported that no one could have lived five
minutes in the heavy seas.
The Senator continued on her course to New
York in command of her chief officer. After
losing her captain she was pounded unmerci-
fully, and two of her lifeboats smashed
into kindling wood. Eight of her vents were
also broken. Her cargo of fruit will most likely
be a total loss. because of the great amount of
water she shipped in the hurricane.
