NINE DROWNED
AS CRAFT UPSET

Nine lives were lost in a terrible
drowning accident in the North branch
of the Susquehsnns river near Wilkes
Barre SUNDAY afternoon. Nine bodies,
unrecovered, are adrift in the swift
curIuut now and are likely being car
rled down stream.
Authorities OF the various towns
along the river are looking for them
and they may drift as far as Sunbury
or even TO the Chesapeake bay. as did
a couple of those from the Mifflinville
bridge disaster.
Wilkes. Barre, Pa. May 10.-Nine
persons, boating in the Susquehanna
river at Port Griffith. near this city,
were drowned by the boat upsetting.
They are William Andrews, of Port
Griffith Theodore and Thomas And
rews, Frank Marianosky, Adam Stru-
kus, Frank Ganofsky, Mrs. Frank
Ganofsky and their two small boys,
John and Michael, all of Providence,
near Scranton. None of the bodies
have been recovered.
William Andrews was entertaining
a number of relatives from Provid-
enoe, Lackawanna county, and after
dinner took them out for a boat ride
They crowded into small boat. five
men with Andrews, his sisterin-law
and two little nephews, and started
out.
Andrews apparently did not realize
how dangerous the current was. He
rowed broadside to the current and had
gone only few yards from the shore
when the boat was caught in the rush
of the waters and swept quickly down
stream.
People on shore, who hsd warned him
about going out in the overcrowded
boat, saw him struggle with the oars
when he realized that the boat was
getting beyond control, and then the
accident happened quickly.
The boat was low in the stern. with
the several people seated in it. Appar
emily one of the men there moved for
ward to help Andrews with the oars,
the movement causing the boat to
rock. 1t shipped some water at the
stpru

The Pennsylvania railroad our big.

the dividend paid on November q,
1908, was sent TO IS, 739 stockholders,
OF whom about $4,000 were women.
A year ago, the number of stockhold-
els was 52,622, and about $4,000 of
these were women. The increase in
thes number of women stockholders is
one Of the strong tendencies shown
by This and other high-class railroad
properties. Even more noteworthy.
however is the tendency toward the
elimination Of foreign holdings of
stock, and the gradual gathering OF
the stocks of our big properties by
the citizens of the United States. Ten
years ago almost half the stock of
the Pennsylvania was held abroad To
day, according to figures kindly fur
nished TO us by the PENNSYLVANIA Rail-
road Company, only about IS per cent.
of its stock is owned by stockholders

Seasons come and go; seedtime and

Yet there is always a liability to ac-

freedom from reverses and suffering.
No one IS removed from need of help
and sympathy of his fellows It is
just such a world as is best suited to
develop helpfulness in men, good fell
