After an all days struggle, the surf
men OF the Watch Hill and Fishers
island life saving stations succeeded
Tuesday in freeing the tern schooner
Grace Seymour. which has lain help
less in Long Island sound for two
days.
With several of her sails threshed
to ribbons by the terrific blow she met
coming up the outside of Long Is
land Friday and Saturday. the Sey-
mour. bound from Ceylon, Ga, to
bridgeport, Conn. with 100000 feet
OF hard pine lumber, slipped around
past Montauk point at o'clock Sat
urday night.
The three master was crippled by
Jhe loss of her spanker. forestaysail,
flying jib and maintopsail, and came
to anchor in "a fathoms of water in
a comparatively sheltered position.
tuesday morning Capt. w. III. Fox
well raised signals OF distress Both
the Fishers island and Watch Hill
crews started out in their power surf
boats. The schooner was about 1-2
miles south of Watch Hill and the
two crews made the row in half and
three quarters of an hour respectively.
In raising the anchors one of the
Fishers island surfmen Prentiss A.
Lamphear. was painfully injured, the
windlass brake slipping and crushing
his left foot. After the anchor had
been placed on the, bows of the yes
sci Davis Dabis of the Watch Hill
crew took Lamphear ashore and from
the station sent the injured coast
guard to his home near Westerly.
The Seymour raised all her sails
that were serviceable and started on
down the sound toward Bridgeport |
and was expected to arrive there with
out further mishap.
The Seymour was built in Hadley,
Conn. in 1888, and until recently was
owned in Barnstable, Mass. Recently |
she was purchased by New York par |
ties. She will probably receive tenn
porary repairs at Bridgeport.

Heaviest Stakeholder in Holmes Syn
dictate That Put on Rapid
Transit.

The announ cement OF the possibility
of John j. Mitchell, the Chicago bank
er, being offered the treasury portfolio
in the cabinet of President Taft awak-
ems peculiar interest in the three cit,
les, III view of the fact that Mr.. Mitch
ell was at one time heavily interested
in Tri-City Railway company proper
ties.
When the Holmes syndicate of Chi
cago acquired the various lines in the
three cities and consolidated them I'M
der the management of Managing Di-
rector ID. H. Louderback. Mr. Mitchell
was the chief stakeholder. The com.
pany was at first known as the Daven-
port & Rock Island Railway company.
Then came from Chicago Mr.. Louder
back and with him J. F. Lardner, as
secretary and treasurer.
Rebuilt the Lines.
Mr. Louderback rehabiIitated the
properties. installed electricity and
transformed horse car, service into
rapid transit. The merged lines then
became The Tri-City Railway company
and Mr.. Louderback made Mr.. Lardner
general manager, position he contin-
ued to hold through the period that
the local capitalists who afterward
acquired the properties from the Chi
cago people, enjoyed them. The Tri-
City people, as is known, made a
bonanza out of the lines and sold them
along with the lighting plants to the
New York combine now owning them
Made Paving Possible.
1t was the Chicago syndicate in
which Mr.. Mitchell vas so extensively
interested, however, that first bore the
heavy burden of putting the street cal
company in up-to-date shape and made
possible the first street paving in the
three cities, evincing in that connec
ton a degree of public spirit and lib
crafty that the people here will not
forget.
