ONTARIO LEFT TO HER FATE
Blazing Steamer Finally Deserted BY
Her Crew

New York, April 10--Capt Bond of
the Merchants and Miners liner On
tario, which was beached near Mon
tauk Point with a raging fire in her
hold at three o'clock Monday morn
ing, deserted his ship last night. For
almost forty-eight hours the skipper
and his crew of nifty officers and men
had fought to save the ship, and sew
erai times it looked as If the victory
would be theirs. Late last night, how
ever, a rising sea made the continu-
ance of the fight out of the question,
and the skipper gave the command to
leave the ship.
From the moment that the fire was
discovered on Monday morning until
the forsaking of the ship became i'm
perative last night Capt. Bond and
his men fought the flames that ragged
in the cargo of cotton, resin and tur-
pentine, with which the ontario was
loaded Firefghting conditions could
not have been worse The beached
ship was continually beset with heavy
seas, while the heat from the burn
ing cargo was almost unbearable
Owing to the nature Of her cargo, a
great part of which is cotton, the On
tario will probably burn for a week
before the fire dies out Of the wreck.
The ship is said to be fully insured.

at Miller's Bend, Miss, a few miles
above Greenyille, Miss where the
yellow tide topped the crown of Tire
levee several times. Hundreds of
men are fighting the flood in the

there means the inundation Of the

worlds most fertile cotton country.
Farmers and villagers have arranged
to flee if break occurs. During the
past "a hours the river rose three
tenths of a foot.

New York conservatory of music in
Harlem, died suddenly Monday, evil
IDENTIFY from natural causes, but under
circumstances which puzzled the au-
thorities. His body, in which life had
been extinct for IL hours, according
to a hospital physician, was discover
ed at the conservatory in a room, the
door of which was locked and had to
be broken open, and in which was
found a woman whom the physician
pronounced to be suffering from a
mental strain, and who was later TAX
en- to Bellevue hospital for observa-
ton. Parmas death, Coroner HELEN
stein said, was due to cerebral hemor-
rhage and acute nephrits.
Attention of occupants of the build
ing was attracted to the directors
room by peals of hysterical laughter
issuing from 1t. When the door was
broken in the body of the musical di-
rector lay on a bed in the center of
floor Uttered with paper and cloth

lapsed and expired while seated on
the side of the bed Beside the body
on the bed sat the hysterical woman
Her hair had fallen about her should
ers and she was talking incoherently

she continued to talk disconnectedly
and failed to make her identity
known.
Mystery in the case deepened as in

mystery" She had lived for years al
the conservatory and was always be

been informed that during the eigh
Years the musician had occupied tn,

Several other rooms in the hous,
were rented but the other tenants

of Middlesex. The defeated Taft del
egates were Porter H. Dale of Island
Pond and o. l.. Martin of Plainfeld
The convention was uproarious on
the slightest proyocation and the
chair broke the gavel in attempting
to maintain order.
The galleries were well filled, there
being some ladies present An Asso-
ciated Press wire from the Boston Of

ganization made permanent, but the
Roosevelt element opposed 1t and af.
ter a wrangle the question was sub
mitted to a vote which resulted
against the premanency of the organi
zation by 17S to 1854.
While the votes were being count
ed the Taft men were aroused to en-,
thusiasm by news of the victory at
Burlington The Roosevelt forces got
in rejoinder with a dispatch from
Senator Nixon to Col. Batchelder re.
garding Roosevelt's strength in North
Carolina and Michigan. Following
the defeat of the proposition to make
the temporary organization perman.
ent, Henry l.. Ballou of Chester was
elected chairman and w. IL. jeffrey OF

The real contest of strength came
on the election Of the delegates and
alternates. There was much wrang
ling and affairs at times were mud

A dozen large nails planted among

Not many years ago one OF the sights
OF certain French cemetery was a

urlantly leaved upon both sides and
In fourishing condition. When the tree
died aud preparations were made for
an examination OF its roots II was al
most impossible TO exhume It. When
all the ground around II was loosened
and the roots were exposed II was
found that the tree when sappling
had claspcd It's young roots around the
haste Of an iron balustrade encircllng
tomb. The roots OF the tree had run
In and out between the iron bars OF
the fence Exactly half OF the tree
had come In contact with the iron, and
