q SAILORS DROWN
Steamer Florence Driven Ashore
in Heavy Fog.
FIVE OF CREW REACH PORT
Second Mate and Four Others Arrived
at st. Johns, N. r., After Suffer.
ing 1ardships In Open
Boat.

st. Johns, N. f., Dec. 23.--Twenty'
two sailors lost their lives when the
freighter Florence of the Furness line
was driven ashore in heavy fog near
Cape Race.
The only survivors we're. the second
mate and four sailors, who were
brought in here after suffering great
hardship in an open boat, The Flor
ence left Halifax several days ago and
was proceeding to st. Johns with q
general cargo.
Survivors Are Exhausted.
The survivors were 80 exhausted
that they were at once put in hos
pital. They have been unable to give
their names or to furnish any infor
nation, except in a disconnected way
OF the wreck. Ii is learned, however
that the master of the Florence was
proceeding cautiously in the fog, but
that he had completely lost his bear
ings, and the heavy seas slowly but
surely sent the boat on the rocks. She
filled rapidly and soon settled. All
hands took to the boats, but the
launching of them was hazardous
task. The second mate. with four
sailors, managed to get their boat
clear of the big ship and got away,
but the captain and the remainder OF
the crew were lost by the swapping
OF their boats just as they touched the
water.
There had been no time to provision
the boats and the craft which the sec.
ond mate and his men used in escap.
ing was without food or water.
Drenched by the flying spray, which
chilled them to the bone, the FIVE men
toiled desperately to keep from freez
ing to death and to sight, If possible,
a passing boat. They stood out to
sea. fearing to approach the shore
where the pounding of the sea warned
them that an attempt to land might
prove fatal.
Keeps Companions Awake.
The mate took his turn at the oars
with the sailors, and when not so en-
gagged busted himself by Shaping and
pounding the oarsmen to keep them
awake, knowing that If they fell
asleep they would never waken.
In the dense fog the men several
times heard the sounding Of fog whis'
ties on passing steamers, and once
we're near enough to hear the swish
Of the boats as they swept by, but the
wrecked mariners had no means OF
signaling for help,
At the end OF the second day. when
all were about to give up the struggle
and with their eyes nearly blinded by
the freezing spray and their hands
raw from the constant Juggling at the
oars, the party was picked up by a
passing steamer and brought here.
Ship Is Total Loss.
The wind was blowing gale from
the southeast at the time the vessel
struck and the heavy sea soon made
a complete wreck of the hull. 1t is
learned that there will be no salvage
OF the cargo.
The cargo and ship were covered
by insurance to the extent OF hall
million dollars.
The Florence was British steam
ship, She was Of steel construction
and was built in 1889 at Sunderland
She was 295 feet long, 40 feet beam
with a depth OF 26 feet. She was
equipped with triple expansion en-

Advice to Boys and Girls

Save your pennies and send them
to the Hyde Park Savings Bank.
That Bank receives either pennies,
dimes or dollars.
Why?
Because it wishes to encourage the
children to be frugal and to have a
little bank account of their own, even
though the initial deposit is the
smallest possible sum.
Children who commence an &C
count on a penny, nickel, Or a
dime, often grow into capitalists
later on.
The way to become capitalist is
to commence now to save the
pennies.

Aged Man Died on WAY Home.

The body of Hanson Clark, of Rich
ford, an aged man who resided with
his daughter, Mrs. Charles Barber,
just across the Canadian boundary,
was found Friday morning in a mead
ow near Richford, thus ending a
search which was instituted the We'd
nesday before and which had been
kept up ever since. On Wednesday
Mr.. Clark went to the home of a
neighbor in North Berkshire. and
after visiting there started back for
his home at about one o'clock in the
afternoon. From that time he was
not seen alive. so far as known.
When he did not return home, alarm
was felt and search was instituted as
it was feared that he had wandered
off and, having fallen. could not rise
and died of exposure. Those fears
were in part realized with the finding
of the body this morning, although
the cause of death has not been deter.
mined. It is possible that he died OF
heart failure.

Burlington TO Have New Station.

The long continued series of hear
ings before the Public Service Com.
mission on the subject of union rail-
road station for Burlington came to a
climax August when Chairman Red
mond of Newport announced for the
commission that it would make an or
der for the building of a station and
approaches thereto according to the
elevated system proposed by the Gen.
trail Vermont Railroad. This means
that the main railroad tracks enter
ing the city from the north will be.
gin to ascend near the Central Yer
mont's round house and continue as
cending to the station at the foot of
Main street. The descent to the
south ends with the tracks resuming
normal level somewhat south Of
Maple street.
seeThe station called for will be at the
foot of Main street, on the track level.
| Access to the lake front would be by
subways through the elevated struc
ture at College and King streets.
The Rutland Railroad is relegated tt
yard south of the awbridge.
q The cost of this system figures $3.50
900.

The New Candidate for Governor.

Clement F. Smith of Morrisville,
who has announced himself as the
Progressive Prohibition candidate for
governor of Vermont. is likely to
command more strength than the Pro-
hibition candidates usually receive in
Vermont, for he is more than a one
idea candidate. That is, he does not
depend merely upon the principles of
prohibition to attract voters to his
candidacy. AS is we'll known. Mr..
Smith is at present the master of the
Vermont state grange and is vitality
and actively interested in the affairs
which pertain to the agricultural life
of the state. Therefore, he will draw
to his support considerable number
of the farmers of the state. who will
look upon him as being as much of a
farmers candidate" as the Prohibi.
tion party's candidate. In addition,
there will be the usual number of out
and out Prohibitionists to cast their
votes for the candidate of their party.
In view of those facts, Mr.. Smith
! will receive much larger vote than
one might expect would be given an.
other candidate of the same patty

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
Don't Hear This Side.

The Boston Journal. which is. the
third term organ in New England,
does not appear to have heard of the
fact that Batchelder has bolted the
bolt in Vermont, but then the at
tempt on it's part to suppress this fact
is but another illustration of the en-.
tire frankness which characterizes the
whole Observation-Disclosures Free
Press.
St. Johnsbury, an Example.
st. Johnsbury is an example. A
fine Masonic temple is just going up.
A fire-truck is just being tried out.
A new one hundred thousand dollar
hotel is said to be assured. A great
pageant is soon to be held. A bus
line has just been started. Railroad
improvements are being made. And
the scale works are building a new
building. There is progress enough
to serve for two or three towns
Burlington Free Press.
Doing Good Work.
We have an agricultural school at
Lyndon which is doing quiet but inn
portant work in the back to the farm
movement. 1t is helping this move
ment in about the only practical way
it can be assisted-making real farm
ers of our farm boys. Twenty five
young men have just been graduated
and these young men came from all
the counties of the state, and even
twelve per cent of the towns are rep
resented. Better than all this is the
fact that practically all of them are
going back home to farm and better
still. the entering class is as large as
the school can accommodate. Farming
is not longer hit or miss scrap with
nature. Science has raised it to its
rightful place. Opinion.
State Issues.
The Bellows Falls Times is right
when it declares that the campaign
for state officers ought to be conduct
ed on state issues alone. Not only is
this course wise one from the stand
point of the candidates for state office
but also with relation to it's effect on
the national fight. The only way the
republican leaders can be sure of roll
ing up an old time majority in Sep
TENDER is to concentrate the attention
of the voters on state issues and can
didates. If national issues are con-
sidered there is likely to be much
greater difference of opinion. Why
ignore the fact that a great many
| men who are going to vote for Fetch
| er and Howe in September are going
to vote for Wilson and Marshall two
| months later? And if there is virtue
in an old time republican majority in
September why not set out in the
right way to get it?-Brattleboro Re.
