industry"
The bill Is said to be backed BY the
hop growers Of Oregon who COM
plain that since Oregon is rapidly be-
coming dry" in the state, brewers
are blacklisting the Oregon brewers.
This is the first time that an attempt
has been made to divorce beer from
whisky in a local option law.

Through the mass Of wreckage, two
stewards we're already extricating the
women who had been caught in the
impact. II was very evident that the
passengers we're in the hands Of men
trained to care for them in the best
manner possible in the fact Of such
emergency, and II was this knowledge
that kept feeling Of fear from our
hearts"
Miss Potter, Mrs CrandalPs room
mate. said that before the order
came TO transfer the passengers to the
Florida, nearly all the passengers
we're crowded well forward on the
Republic. Nearly all watched the
captain on the bridge.
Finally Captain Sealby turned
himself toward us with his hands up
lifted as signal for our attention,
and said; "All passengers will be TAX
en- to the steamship Florida He told
US women and children TO be the first.
There was no josting nor exhibition
Of fear All in all, the conduct Of
the women was excellent. 1t is un-
fortunate that right at the start there
should have been an exhibition by
one man that was otherwise. He
was not only man either, but he
surely did seem to be the most crazy
person Of all. He elambored into the
FIRST boatload. There was a yell Of
derision from the passengers. The
sailors who were to row the lifeboat
and officer in command plainly show
ed contempt for the fellow, He came
back to the deck Of the Republic in
ignominy. The passengers ieered all
the while he was making the journey.
Lifeboats made trips in almost uni
form precision. There was so much
to admire in the proceedings that our
fears were all more dispeIled."

After the Republic Goes Down Cap
tain Sealby Stated That Two People
Who Were Killed by the Collision
Were in Caskets Aboard Vessel,

WooDSH0LE, Mass, Jan. 2S.--
The story Of the sinking Of the liner
Republic and the dogged heroism Of
Captain Sealby in sticking to his YES
sci until Il had sunk beneath him
was told today by Lieutenant Scott
executive officer Of the revenue cut'
ter Gresham. Scott said that when
the Gresham found the Republic
Sunday morning the passengers and
all Of the crew except Captain Sealby,
the second officer and IS volunteers
had been transferred to the Baltic.
Gresham and the British passenger
steamer passed line to the Republic
to tow the injured vessel, but she
proved very unmanageable in the
northwest wind. Late in the after
noon the derelict cutter Seneca arriv-
cd and passed a line to the Republic,
but by that time she was taking wat
er fast. AT 7 o'clock last night the
entire crew was ordered by Captain
Sealby to abandon the ship. They
easily overlook the Gresham. They
said they could not persuade Captain
Sealby to leave his ship and the sec
ond officer refused to leave the side
of his commander. Scott says that at
8 o'clock last night the bow Of the
steamer was Illuminated by search
light and was seen rising fast. Five
minutes later two pistol shots and
two blue rockets, the signals agreed
upon by Sealby and Greshas were
heard and seen, and at $40 the Re
publie's bow shot up high in the air
and she sank Is miles southwest of
sound shoals lightship. The
Gresham lowered a boat and the
crew under command Of Gunner Jo-
hansen started of. The boat return
ed three quarter of an hour later
with both the captain and the second
officer. They had been pickd up cling
Ing to the wreckage, neither had life
preservers on, When the Republic
began to sink Captain Sealby climb
ed to the foremast and reached the
light as the boat went
down. The second officer jumped from
The rail into the sea, He was bruised

OLD MILESTONE PRESERVED.
Relic Dating to 1857 Embedded in
Concrete Walk.

From the New York Sun
A milestone which ground grist for the
residents of the old Sunnyside section OF
Long Island City more than two hum
dred years ago has been embedded face
upward In concrete sidewalk in front
of new office building at 49, Jackson
avenue, near the north plaza of the
Greensboro bridge. This relic is said to
have been imported from Holland by the
old Brouchard family. which settled in
Sunnyside about 1857. Jean Rrouchard
was Huguenot who escaped from
France into the Palatine and from that
point came to America. He was the an
cestor of the Brokaws and Bragaws and
BragauS of today.
The gristmtl stood on the old Dutch
Kills creek near the Middleburgh road.
named for famous Clergyman Of colo
MAI times. The stone planted i'm the side
walk Is the upper stone 1t is about four
feet three inches in diameter and the fur
rows on Its upturned face tell the story
OF Its service to the early settlers Years
ago the old mill fell into disuse and went
TO decay.
Dutch Kills creek. which became a
muddy. sluggish stream passed entirely
out of existence several years ago when
the pennsylvania railroad began leyeling
Sunnyside hill and filing in the hollow
through which the creek ran to make way
Ioi Tue Dig railroad yard. Even historic
M1ddieburgh avenue. over which the Brit
ish and Continental troops fought and
marched, was wiped out In the erum-
bling of the old mill the neither milestone
was buried in the soft ooze surrounding
the mill. George II. Paynter, whose
father bought up the tract of land on
which the mill stood. had the top mill
stone hauled to the junction of Skillman
and Jackson avenues. where it has re-
posed for years. In completing his new
office building Mr.. Paynter had the old
stone planted in the center of the side
walk.
