C.. crew of the New York schooner John Maxwell; driven on the treacherous Hatteras shoals during the night while bound from Norfolk to Savannah and broken fin two by raging sea, clung tenaciously in the rigging of the wreck when darkness fell tonight. while life savers from this and nearby stations watched helplessly for an opportunity to rescue him. A United States battle ship from the southern drill grounds and a revenue cutter tonight are steamlng full speed to reach the spot in an attempt to save him.
 Six lives already have been lost m the wreck, five of the men having dis- appeared in the huge waves before dawn today. The sixth sailor hung on 10 the rigging until late this after noon. when, benumbed by cold and ex- hausted by the flashing of the waves, bo was forced to release his hold and was swept to death in the sea.

An all day battle was waged by the life savers. but inc tremendous seas and forty mile gale lrade it impossible for them to launch their boats.

 Senator Dixon is one of our fanciest little chalmers.

of the electoral vote as given in this issue has 94 more than the necessary majority of 266 votes to place him in the White House. In the states classed as doubtful, which have a total of lS7 votes, the New Jersey governor has, according to all estimates, at least an even chance of victory. New Jersey, with it's IA votes, has in former years been very partial to- ward him. Pennsylvania, one of the great commonwealths where the battle Is raging from border to border. is to all appearances a nip and tuck fight be- tween MT.
