No Trace Has Yet Been Obtained Of

WERE BOUND FOR NEWPORT
Crews Of Brunswick and Breeze Not
Found by Tugs Sent in Search Of
the Missing Barges.

New London, Conn, April g.
While coming up Long Island sound
Wednesday night the tug r. M. Wa
terman, Captain Titley, with FIVE
barges from Perth Amboy for New
port, broke away from it's tow, and,
owing to the terrific gale, only two
of the barges were picked up, al
though the crew of third was res
cued.
Six men are missing with the two
lost barges.
The hawser parted a mile south of
Race slip, and as a search yesterday
failed to locate the missing barges,
1t is believed that they have been
lost.
The barge from which the crew
was rescued is the Breeze, the other
two missing being the Brunswick and
Beacon. There was a crew of three
on each of the two latter.
1t is feared here that the crews OF
the Brunswick and Beacon, from
this city, have been lost. Me- who
have been on the water most of their
lives say that they do not see how
the crews could survive such blow
on that part of the water. Nc

about seventy years old and six feet
tall. His wife died some years ago,

Only couple Of weeks ago an old
friend was conversing with Captain
Cornelius. The friend said: when
are you going to quit the water,
Pete? You have plenty OF money
and you ought to get out of the SER
vice and enjoy yourself for the rest
Of your days" (
"I've been thinking about it," said
Captain Cornelius, and guess III

within him as in many others who
never give up that life until all life

OF ICE
TAKES JUMP

The price of ice was increased yes
terday by dealers In this city and
Vicinity. 1t was generally increased
five cents per hundred except to pri-
vate families, on whom the increase
is ten cents. This is one G the
jumps that had been expected. Rhe
extreme mild winter is responsible
for these increases, which are said
to be general throughout the coun-
try.
Dealers gave out new lists yester-
day dated April 8, which quoted
prices as follows: Families, so cents
per 100 pounds; saloons, grocery and
drug stores, 80 cents a hundred;
boats, 80 cents for the same amount;
butchers, 20 cents; ice cream manu-
factories, 20 cents anyone at ice
house, 25 cents. Following the prices
Oa the notices 1t is stated that the
rates are subject to change without
notice.
Some local dealers have prepared
for the coming summer season by
stocking their houses full of ice from
Maine and vicinity. They have paid
good price for 1t and expect to be
reimbursed by the increased market
price when the warm season starts.
Other local firms have talked OF
building ice manufacturing plants.
One dealer here has not as yet In
creased the prices, but expects to dc
so shortly. He intimates that the
increase will be slight and there is
little cause for the people to become
alarmed, as the prices of ice will not

Mr.. and Mrs. Alex T. Wilson, of
120 South First street and their
three children, Mildred, ten years
old, Arthur, five years old and Jean,
two years old, are recovering from an
attack of ptomaine poisoning which
nearly cost them their lives. DR.. j..
G.. Wilson is the attending physician
and the family is now out of danger,
although yesterday Mrs. Wilson suf-
fered considerably.
The family were affected Tuesday
night shortly after they had eaten
their supper, which included pork
chops. The Wilson's believe that the
poisoning came from the chops as
Mrs Wilson says that, when she put
them In the pan to fry, she noticed
that they bubbled up like soap-suds.
Mrs. Wilson says she went to butch
er shop at o'clock Tuesday after
noon and purchased eight pork shops.
The butcher took three, she says,
from the ice box and the other five
from the counter. About o'clock
Tuesday night Mr.. Wilson was taken
seriously i'll and little later the
other members of the family began
to vomit. Mrs. Wilson was not as
i'll as her husband and children, and
she sent to DR.. ]. G. Wilson. In the

BOY CAUGHT
TAKING COAL

Joseph French, nine years old, u
27 Cortlandt street, was arraigned
before Recorder Pickersgill this
morning on a charge of petit larceny
preferred by George ]. Haney, who
caught the little fellow stealing coal
at his yard on upper State street yes
terday afternoon. The boy pleaded
guilty, but said it was his first Of
fense. Another boy who was with
him yesterday escaped.
French told the name of his COM
panlon and a warrant was issued for
him. Mr.. Haney will appear against
him tomorrow morning. 2
The father of French was in court
and the recorder told him that he
would have to pay a SIS fine for his
son. The boy was locked up again
as the money was not produced.
Mr. Haney says that considerable
pea coal, which was what the boys
were stealing, has been taken re-
Gently and that he is anxious to
break up the practice. Young French
will be held until his companion is
caught, as it is possible that he gave
a bogus name.

Affected After Eating Supper Including Pork Chops
Physician Worked Over Them for Several Hours.

meantime her husband had grown
worse and, as was stated by the
physician, if he had arrived half
hour later he would probably have
been beyond aid. A stomach pump
was used and the physician worked
over the family until long after mid
night.
Wednesday and yesterday the fam
fly was still affected, but they are
feeling much better today. Mildred,
the older girl, was very i'll Wednes-
day afternoon, and Mrs. Wilson had
another attack yesterday. Mr.. Will
son said this morning that he felt
much better, although he was weak.
Miss Olive Kipp boards with the
family and ate supper with them
Tuesday night but has not been af-
fected. Mrs. Wilson believes that
the ptomaines were in the five chops
which the butcher took from the
counter and thinks Miss Kipp's escape
is due to the fact that she ate one of
those that were taken from the ice
box.
Mr. and Mrs. Wilson did not dis
close the name of the butcher, but
the latter says that the dealer, when
told the story, did not seem much
concerned.
