Overcrowded in a small boat upon

William Andrews, of Port Griffith,
was entertaining a number of rela-
tive5 from Providence, Lackawanna
County, and after dinner took them
out for a boat ride. There crowd
ed into small boat seven men, in
ciuding Andrews and his sister~in-
law and a little nephew, started out
Andrews was at the single pair of
oars. He rowed broadside to the
current and had gone only a few
yards from shore when the boat was
caught in the rush of the waters
and swept quickly down stream.
People on shore saw Andrews
struggle with the oars when he rea-
lized that the boat was getting be-
yOnd control, and then the accident
happened quickly.
One of the men in the stern NOV
ed forward to help Andrews with the
oars. This caused the boat to rock
and ship some water at the stern
Those seated there stood up. The
boat rocked more, and then followed
a wild scramble of the frightened
persons. The next moment the boat
upset and all the occupants were
thrown into the water
None of those on shore who wit
! messed the accident could do any
thing to rescue them, as no other
! boats were available. In less than
three minutes nothing remained in
S. .ght except the boat floating bottom
upward and some distance down the
river.
Andrews lived only a short dis
tance from the river bank and. his
wife and three children, upon learn
ing of the accident, rushed to the
shore. Mrs. Andrews tried 10 jump
into the water, but was restrained.
A squad of the state Troop b was
sent across the river from Wyoming
by Captain Robinson and they have
charge of the work of searching for
the bodies. Coroner Dodson has or
dered an inquiry.
One of the boys who witnessed
the tragedy said that the man who
was rowing seemed to dip his oars
too deep. This he said, caused the
water to splash over the side of the
boat. The woman, in order to avoid
the water started to move toward
the stern of the craft. This shift
ing of the seat caused the boat to
rapidly fill with water, and in a
few minutes all were floundering in
the rushing river. The two boys
grabbed the clothing of their mother
as the boat toppled over and the
three disappeared almost instantly.
The river is high and the swift cur
rent carried three of the men to with
in so feet of the bank, while the
others were drowned within stones

LOST CHILDREN TURN up
THEY WERE KIDNAPPED FROM ST.
LOUIS LAST AUGUST.
Detective Finds Them Wandering
Aimlessly on the North Side Of
City of Chicago.

Chicago, Ill.-Two Italian children,
identeified from photographs as To
masso and Grace Viviano, who we're
kidnapped from st. Louis August last
and who have bean sought since by
the police of many cities, were found
October 15 wandering aimlessly on the
north side of the city by Detective
Stephen Parodi of the Chicago Avenue
police station.
The children when found were sit
ting on curb stone at North Halsted
and Reese streets. Both were weep
ing, the little girl, who is less than
four years old, sobbing bitterly, and
Tomasso, her cousin, who is years
old, trying to comfort her. Detective
Parodi took the children in his arms
and asked them where they lived.
Tomasso said that he did not know.
Remembering the Viviano case he
asked Tomasso If his name was VIVA
no. The boy nodded his head as If to
confirm his identity. The detective
hurried with the children to the Chi
cago Avenue police station. Photo
graphs of the missing st. Louis chill
dren were procured from the central
detective bureau and Inspector
O'Brien was convinced on comparing
them with the homeless foundlings,
that they were the long sought victims
of the st. Louis kidnapping which had
taxed the ingenuity of the detectives
in many cities for weeks
Tomasso, the elder Of the two chill
dren, was asked by the inspector and
Capt Rehm where he and Grace had
been since they were taken from their
home in st. Louis. The child could
give no intelligent answer. He said
he did not know where he lived and
could give no account of his abandon
ment Inspector O'Brien notified the
ST. Louis postoffice of the recovery of
the children.

BOAT WRtC ED IN LAKE ERIE
Six People Meet Their Death When
They Attempt to Go to Shore
for Assistance.

Detroit, Mich.--In the wreck of
the steamer George Stone of Cleve-
land. o. on Point Pelee, Ontario, up
per Lake Erie added gruesome chap
ter to the history of marine disasters
on the Great Lakes. Six lives were
lost and 12 were saved and the tail end
of the recent gale is now lashing a
hopelessly broken vessel that was not
insured and belonged to NJ A. Bradley
of Cleveland.
The six victims lost their lives when
Capt. Paul Howell, Peter Daley of Erie,
who was passenger, and six mem
bers of the crew were capsiZed in the
surf attempting to go ashore for as.
sistance. Two of the crew clung to
the overturned boat four hours until
they drifted ashore, six were drowned
when the lifeboat capsized and the re-
naming ten members of the crew were
taken off the wreck by the steamer F..
M Osborne of Cleveland, and brought
to Detroit. One of the ten brought to
Detroit, John Diedrich, was knocked
into the Detroit river by crowd of
strikers ON the docks and narrowly es-
capped drowning after his arrival here.
In explanation of the wreck of the
Stone 1t is said the combination of
wind and currents that sent the Brad
ley steamer to her destruction were
almost unprecedented on Lake Erie.

WORRIED CASHIER SUICIDES
Aged Mother-in-Law Drops Dead When
She Views the Body of the
Dead Official.

Mineral Point, Wis.-Beside the
grave of his mother in Graceland
cemetery, Frank e. Hanscome, cashier
of the Mineral Point First National
bank, whose doors were closed recent
ly, committed suicide October II by
taking carbolic acid and then shooting
himself in the right temple with a re-
volver. Mrs. John Gray, ST., Hans
comes aged mother-in-law, dropped
dead when she viewed his body. The
cause of Hanscome's suicide is be-
lieved to be dependency occasioned
by heavy financial losses and worry
over the affairs of the bank.
Phil Allen, jr., vice president Of the
bank who has been under arrest at his
home since October Is, charged with
embezzling $168,00O of the banks
funds, said that Hanscome was entire
ly innocent of wrong doing in connec-
ton with the bank.
Hanscome was SO years old. He was
connected with the First National
bank for 20 years. Throughout the
financial difficulties. he worked night
and day. He was also bondsman for
Vice President Allen several times.

PAyRoLLS KEEP EXPANDING

Industry.

New York City.-Bradstreet says:
Improvement is the order of the
day in trade. collections and indus
try. Colder weather, freezing temper
ature, light SHOWS or killing frosts,
coupled with froer crop movement,
have helped retail trade and collec-
tions at the west and northwest while
lower temperatures and high prices
and free marketing of cotton have
helped distribution at the south. job
bing trade has been coincidently bene-
flied by reordering to fill broken
stocks, and the distribution trade side
presents very favorable appearance.
From industrial lines tho same story
of full order books and of longer hours
now comes, payrolls are expanding
and available skilled labor is reported
closely employed. with less idleness
noted than for two years past.

Hairpuffs, rats, false curls, hair bows
Frills and fluffy lingerie.

JOIN THE GREAT SILENT ARMY
Death Claimed 1882 War Veterans
Last Year, Yet More Money Was
Paid Out for Pensions.

Washington, d. C.--Death's inva-
sion of the fast thinning ranks of war
veterans caused 4S,312 names to be
dropped from the pension rolls of the
United States last year. OF this num-
Der 32,S31 were survivors of the civil
war. The total loss to the pension
roll from all causes was 51,5S1. In
striking contrast to these figures, COM
prised in the annual report of Vespa-
sian Warner, commissioner of pen
sions, is the statement that the govern
ment paid out in pensions in the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1909,
S161, ,973,703, which the commission
er declares is the largest amount
ever disbursed for pensions in one
year.
Summarized. the report shows these
facts: Number of pensioners at the
beginning of the year, 9516S7; number
of new pensioners added to the roll,
46,0SS; pensioners on roll at close of
year, 946, 1874, a net decrease of 5,493.
Survivors of the civil war on the roll
now number 59S,961.
Commissioner Warner explains that
the increase in the amount paid out
for pensions was, due principally to the
large number of pensioners placed on
the roll under the act of February 6,
1907, granting S12, SIS and $40 to sur
vivors of the war with Mexico, and the
civil war, on reaching the ages of 62,
70 and rs respectively.

1t may be impossible for the depart.
ment of agriculture at Washington OF
any other human power to succeed in
every attempt to cause two blades of
grass to grow where one grew before.
But there is no doubt of the efficient
work done by the department. in stim.
ulating crop growing wherever poss-
ible Now the experts of tlat branch
of the government are turning atten-
tion to opportunities in the Panama
canal zone, which is under American
jurisdiction. 1t is believed enough fruit
and vegetables. including those of
both the temperate and tropical eli
mates, can be produced to meet the
requirements in this direction of the
$4,000 persons now residing on the
zone. If this can be done fresh tri-
umph will be scored for the depart
ment and important economic results
will follow. And all that will be in
line with the practical ideas which
govern the department of agriculture.

Yet they propose that the young shah
shall marry and assume the RESPONSE

And apparently they have the estao-

NO wonder that even the sluggish east

GOES 81 MILES IN AIR
COUNT DE LAMBERT FLIES FROM
JuVisY To PARIS.
After Passing Several Hundred Feet
Above the Elffel Tower, He Re-
turns to Starting Point.

Paris, France.-Count De Lambert,
the French aeroplanist, just before
dark on October 18 accomplished one
of the most remarkable and daring
feats yet credited to heavier than air
machines. Starting from the aero
dome at Juvisy in Wright biplane he
flew to Paris, a distance Of 13 miles.
After maneuvering over the city at an
average height of 400 feet he assembled
In gradually diminishing circles and
passed several hundred feet above the
Eiffeil tower. He tnen returned to
Juvisy. Thousands who watched from
the streets of Paris could barely cred
1t their senses when they saw the
aeroplane, tiny object gliding swiftly
far above the tower.
Count De Lambert was given a tre-
mendous ovation on his return to
Juvisy. Orville Wright, who was there
with his sister, rushed forward and
wrung the hands of the aviator as he
alighted, pale but radiant. He was led
to the pavilion, where his health was

The count held up his hand and shout
ed: "Cry long live the United States,
for 1t is to her that I owe this sue

The official time of the flight was 40
minutes 80 seconds. The distance was
roughly estimated at so kilometres (31
miles) and the height varied from 800
to 1900 feet.
