Since A6-year-old Austin Barbalaci
wandered barefooted and hatless from
his home, 29s East Kinney street, yes

by friends and relatives who with the
police have searched the city for him.
Little Austin was seen to leave the
house about 5 o'clock yesterday. He
wore no hat and was barefooted. A lit
tie blue waist and dark boomers consti-
tuted his costume. When he did not
return at moor the lads parents began
to worry, for he was always present at
meal-tlme. Joseph Barbalaci, the
father. started5 out to search the neigh
borhood. He was unsuccessful. He
could fnd ne one who had even seen
the boy.
Barbalaci reported that his son was
missing at police headquarters, and the

keep a watch for him. The boys
mother is almost frantic with worry,
and members of the family have aban-
doned all other duties to supplement
the police search for the runaway.

PLAUT EMPLOYEES TO GIVE
A "RUBE' MINSTREL SHOW.
Farmers to Supplant Black-Face
Artists on Stage.

Members of the L. S. Plaut & Co.'s
Employees Mutual Aid Association are
to present a "rube' minstrel show
Tuesday evening. November 8, in the
Kruger Auditorium.
The advance sale of tickets indicates
a record breaking attendance. AL
though the affair is to be purely a min-
strel entertainment, it will differ rad
ically from the old-time black-face
style; the characters will be farmers,
fresh from the country, with all the
rural settings. Ruben" "Silas,' "Jem.'
Uncle Josh" and others are carded to
produce the fun for the evening.
Elaborate scenic and electrical effects
will be an important factor in the pro-
duction of the show and no expense
will be spared. The entertainment was
proposed at the urgent request of those
who witnessed the black-face minstrel
show last April, which was pronounced
by critics to surpass that of many pro-
fessional companies.
The "rube" end men are: William F.
Kirst, Frank j. Chesney, Mortimer
Schlosser and George H. Kahn. The
soloists are M. Gam, ]. Cohen, Charles
Mapner and Miss Allie Moran. Edward
Symons will occupy the centre of the
stage in the capacity of interlocutor.
There will be a string quintet of viii
lagers-Miss Kaufman, Henry Vein
berg, Henry Wepperling, Arthur Wen
eel, Lester Rose.
Music will be furnished by Krimke's
orchestra.

She got the supper ready, however, and
shortly after Acquette went out.

100 SHIPS SUNK
BY TIDAL WAVE
ON FLORIDA KEYS
More Than 500 Homes Wiped
Out and Thirteen Churches
Wrecked at Key West.

KEY WEST, Oct. 1S.-It was believed
today that many lives were lost and
more than 100 vessels sunk in the hurri-
cane and tidal wave which swept Cuba
and the southeastern coast of the Uni
ted States. This sorely stricken city is
gradually recovering from the shock
of the hurricane, n toll is being taken
of the damage done. But one death,
that of Frank Gray, a photographer,
has been reported so far, but the money
loss is estimated at fully 81 900, 900. 1t
is feared that further information will
reveal considerable loss of life along
the coast of the peninsula.
Mayor Fogarty appealed to the Wal
Department in Washington for military
aid, n the 400 troops of the coast bat
teries have been instructed to lend
every assistance possible. The military
quarters were badly damaged, the hos
pital having been unroofed and two of
the barrack buildings badly shaken.
But h soldiers have ample tent ac-
commodation.
Hundreds of homeless are still roam
ing the streets. hungry, and with little
prospect of shelter.
Half the city is practically in ruins;
more than 500 homes have been de-
stroyed.
Thirteen churches were blown down,
the only ones in the city remaining
standing being one Catholic, one Metho-
dist and one Baptist.
Many factories suffered from the fury
of the wind. three Of them being COM
plete wrecks.
Not a single residence or business
house in the city escaped flooding, and
few were uninjured by the wind.
A scene of devastation presents itself
from every side. Telephone, telegraph
and electric light poles, trees. n tin
roofs are lying in every street, the
thoroughfares are impossible and
debris of all kinds filters the entire
city.
All the wharves along the water front
suffered, Curry's and Sweeney's being
demolished. Many small vessels were
crushed against the fishing wharf when
the steamer McAram dragged her an
Choir M was driven along helplessly
by the severe gale. The McAdam went
down. but all on board were rescued.
The quarantine boa Senator is in the
woods at Hog Key. All efforts of the
wireless station here to get into COM
munication with the steamer Homus
have been futile.

BLAME BAD ROADS
FOR FATAL CRASH
At ATLANTIC CITY
Auto and Trolley Collision That
Killed Woman Caused
by Ruts.
Especial to the newark star.l

ATLANTIC CITY, Oct. .1S.-Mrs.
Harry McDevitt, who was in the auto
mobile which was smashed by a trolley
car on the shore road, near Absecon
last night, is a little better today, and
it is believed she is now out of danger
of losing her life. Mrs. Thomas Nc
Dewitt, the other woman in the ma
chine who was injured, is still in bed
and will be. for several days, but there
is no danger of her losing her life.
The body of Mrs. Silas Reed, of Phila-
delphia, who was hurt SO badly she
died an hour afterward, has been taken
in charge by a local undertaken and is
being prepared to be. taken to her late
bone. 6646 Var Dyke street, for burial.
Sinclair Boyce, motorman of the cal
which sideswiped the McDevitt automo-
bile and resulted so disastrously, has
not been arrested yet. He Immediately
gay himself up, but was permitted to
go home by the officials until such tim
ss he is wanted. Coroner Sontheimer is
awaiting the action of C~oroner's Ply
stefan Souder before he orders an in
quest.
The condition of the shore o is
said to be really responsible for the ac-
cident. McDevitt vas running down
the road toward Pleasantvilie, when
he saw the car coming toward him
His left wheels were running between
the tracks, and he attempted to turn
out into the road on the right.
There were deep cuts and gullies
and while he managed to get his front
wheel out of the track the rear wheel
refused to pull out, just ran parallel
with the rail. The motorman did not
siacken for he believed the machine
would get out of the way In ample
time, but the rear wheel did not per-
nit the machine to get out of the way
and the car struck it with a side
swipe, head on.
The shore road has been in an ex-
ceedingly bad condition for a long time,
and many narrow escapes from serious
accidents have occurred thereon. The
trolley company's tracks occupy the
centre of the road, and they are
charged with keeping that section of
the road in repair. It is believed an
Inquest will be held tomorrow night.

GIVES MARRIAGE AGENT SIX
CENTS AND TURNIPS AS FEE.
Levin Had Sued Farmer for Aid
in Seeking Wife.

WASHINGTON, N. j., Oct. 13.-Tur-
nips now are legal tender in this Sec
ton of New Jersey in matrimonial
agency cases. Six cents damages and
a bushel of turnips made up the award
to the plaintiff by Justice of the Peace
Lindaberry in the case of Levin VS..
Bryan. In that litigation Levin had
sued Bryan for $25 for services as a mat
rimonial agent. Bryan already had paid
a bushel of turnips. He insisted that
Levin had no valid claim, and that he
also ought to be compelled to give back
he urnips or their equivalent in cash.
Justice of the Peace Lindaberry could
not see 1t that way.
THE testimony tends to show that a
contract was entered into between the
plaintiff and the defendant in his ac-
tion," the justice said. 1T also tends
to show that although the contract was
made 1t has been filed by no means by
the plaintiff. Nevertheless, I feel he is
entitled to six cents damages and the
bushel of turnips which were paid on
account. Judgment for the six cents
and the turnips will be entered. The
costs will be charged against the de-
fendant.'
