SHIP IN DISTRESS
HEADS AWAY FROM
LINER NEAR HER
Vessel Lab9ring in Heavy Sea
Off Nantucket Changes
Course Oddly.

Capt. Joseph Amos Harrison, OF the
steamship Victoria de Larrinaga, from
Glasgow TO Barber & Co., steamship
agents. which arrived in to-day, reported
seeing steamer in distress yesterday
morning about thirty miles of Nam
, tucket.
A northerly gale was blowing and the
sea was running In giant waves. At
o'clock in the morning Capt. Harrison
made out a black hull laboring in the
trough Of the violent sea. With his glass
he read a big letter IS" on the black
funnel OF the vessel the insignia OF the
Standard OIL fleet.
Capt. Harrison laid to for signals and
suddenly saw the aboring steamer dis
appear in the hollow OF a mammoth
wave. The vessel was headed north
then. but when she emerged from the
great mass OF water that had seemed
almost to swallow her she had headed
about TO the south. The Victoria de
Larrlnaga was hove to for half an hour.
expecting that the steamer would ny
some signal When she did not Cant.
Harrison proceeded on his way to this
city.
Capt. Philip Ruprecht, chief OF the
marine department OF the Standard OIL
Company said, after hearing Capt.
Harrison's report, that he believed the
craft he had seen was the big towing
steamer A. F. Lucas, OF the Standard
OIL fleet.
The A: F. Lucas sailed on Sunday for
Halifax, towing an oil-laden barge. Four
hours after Capt. Harrison saw her
laboring, her captain had sent a wire.
less that he was 200 miles from Sandy
Hook.
Possibly at the time Harrison saw
her." said Capt, Ruprecht, "she had
dropped the line Of her barge and that
was why she was compelled to put
about. AS the oil barge was very deep
in the water, It Is likely that she could
not ne made out from the bridge OF the
Victoria dc Larrinaga. AS the Lucas
is equipped with wireless, / am sure
we would have heard II she was In any
trouble"
BOSTON. Feb. 9.-No steamer an
swering the description Of the one
thought to have been disabled, the con-
dtion Of which was reported BY the
steamer Victoria de Larrinaga in New
York to-day, had been sighted or
spoken from Vineyard Haven, or any
OF the southern Massachusetts ports,
up to noon to-day.
Mariners at those points were unable
to Identify the vessel In the description
given by the Victoria dc Larrinaga.
The steamer, City Of Everett, which
has one funnel with large So on It.,
and which Is bound east from Phiadel-
pha with loaded oil barge in tow.
passed Vineyard Haven at noon to-day.
II Is thought that Yesterday she may
have been near the position referred to
by the Italian liner. She showed no
signs to-day OF being disabled

Says Theme of Every Bar He
Writes Floats Out From
His Head Rest,
By Ethel Lloyd Patterson.

The most interesting thing about Ar
thur Hartmann, the Hungarian violin!st,
Is his pillow. There are plenty of other
things-his habits and his hair cut, and.
OF course, his talent-some call It genius
but almost any one would give the pill
low precedence.
But then, II We are to believe Mr.
Hartmann, the pillow IS really respons.
bio for everything except the hair cut.
Mr. Hartmann did not want TO tel,
about the pillow. lie hates publicity
and he fears lack Of comprehension
from the gross unmusical mind Besides
lie was saving the history OF the pillow
until he was a really grea. man. Then
he was going to say: "BehOld the pillow
done it,,
But Mr. Hartmann is too modest. Even
now he Is great. and therefore the hour
u disclosure for tho pillow plot has
struck.
In my pillow, upon which lay ny
head nightly. are Tschaiknwsky. Grieg
Brahms, acDoweli, List, and Weni-

KILLS HIS BROTHER

 When the Weapon Acel- dentaIFy Exploded.

Columbus. Mss, Jan. so.-(speciaL) --Artesia. the little village. fourteen miles west of this city. which two weeks ago witnessed the famous Smith Laurent killing. was the. scene of an- other depForable tragedy this evening, when Mansei, the 1f-year-old son of pr. and Mrs. N! D. Guerry, accident ally shot his little brother, Peyton. aged years.
 The two youngsters were playing in front of the house when a shotgun in the hands of the elder boy. for some unaccountabfe reason, exploded, tl1e load striking the younger boy-i the neck and producing instant death. The accident, which would be extremely sad under any consideration. is more de- plorGble on account of the fact that the mother of the boys Is absent from home.
 Mrs. Guerry has been an invalid for several months and Is now at a sanita- rum in Canada The family, fearing that knowledge of the fact that she had lost her little son would. prove more than she could bear, will make every effort to keep the news of the tragedy 1rom her.

 Last year Castleberry shipped fifty seven car loads of strawberries, but 1t was stated yesterday that the acre age this year had been considerably reduced owing to the prevailing warm weather during this season which renders the outcome of the crop very uncertain. Already some strawberries have been gathered and the budding of the plants Indicates that the crop. this year will be considerably cur tailed by the cold weather, and that in all probability not more than thirty car loads will be shipped this season from that point.
 There was small fire here yes terday afternoon of a house on Mill street that had been previously un- roofed by ignition from sparks from the refuse pits from the basket fac tory at the Loveaace Lumber Com pany's mill. The high winds yester- day caused. 1t to again catch fire from the same source. The blaze was ex- tinguished after about a half hours work Another. blaze occurred last night in the north part of town ont side the fire limits, but at this time no report has been received as to the property destroyed or it's owner.
 Material is being placed on the grounds for the new depot which is to Dc erected north of the present struc- ture, and work will begin at an earIv date The site selected will enabie the railroad people to construct a park around their property, and he- ing further removed from the business section, the switching that has been such an annoyance to the merchants will be done at some distance from the main business thoroughfare.
