three men, the last contained Cap, tain Nelson and three of his crew.
 IL was pitch dark and the dory crews were lost to the view of each other almost in a moment The last seen of the boat in which Captain Nelson left his ship was when it was rounding the bow of the schooner. The seas were running high and in one of the hollows between them the little craft swung around the bow and ont Of sight
 The men in the other two boats did not see each other until daybreak. When they got together it was found that neither had water or food
 They drifted about all that day and the following night, constantly buffeted by heavy seas. one of which carried Kenny, the cook, over the stern. Kenny fought hard to swim back to the boat but went down be- fore his comrades could reach him
 When they were picked up by the Triton Sunday morning all ths sur viyors were almost exhausted. The supplies aboard the Triton were low and the ten added hungry mouths taxed the schooner's lockers to their utmost. The Boston fisherman Josie and Phoebe was hailed The skipper had no fish on board but he set a trawl and pulled in a goodly catch which, with flour and meal was turn ed over to the Tifton's captain.
 Harry Nelson remained with the Josie and Phoebe in the hope that nc might be able to obtain some trace of his father and three mates. By an odd chance the Parker preceded her crew into port. Staunch and firm apparently and with only a jib miss ing, she was lowed into New Bedford today, raising the question, "why should a good ship be abandoned us crew, and where the crew."
 The Parker had floated herself from the ledge and had been sighted Monday drifting with all sails set hy the British steamer Astrakhan. The steamer placed a prize crew aboard and the schooner arrived at the whal ing port in tow of the revenue cuttel Gresham, which was summoned by wireless.
 The Parker sailed from Sydney, N S., for Gloucester October 26. Short ly after leaving Sydney the fisher man ran into northwest gales ant she was driven far off her course After days of iockeying with the ele ments Captain Nelson found himself last Saturday morning near Nan tucket and was unable to work his vessel off the shore

MISS WILSON'S WEDDING.
White House Messengers Deliver the
 Invitations.

Washington, Nov 5.-White house messengers were busy today distri- outing invitations to the wedding on November 20 or Miss Jessie Wilson and Frances Bowes Sayre. About 400 Invitations were sent out approXi- mately 250 of them being directed to residents of Washington. The local invitations were delivered by messpn- gers from the white house, while the others were mailed
 The invitation list necessarily Is limited to the capacity of the east room, where the wedding will take place The ambassadors and minis sers in the diplomatic corps, members of the cabinet and supreme court of the United States, prominent officials constitute the greater part of the in vitation list though many personal friends of both the Wilson and Sayre families are coming from various parts of the country.

with them with a view to matrimony inviting them to come to her farm, and after a brief stay each in turn would mysteriously disappear. Wealthy farmers from Minnesota and Dakota visited Mrs. Guinness, never to return, and their absence finally led to an investigation, which dis closed the wholesale murders which had been carried on on what is now known as Murder Hill" farm.
 Mrs. Guinness and her children, it will be remembered, were supposed to have burned to death in fire which destroyed the farm house. Par tial remains of the children were found in the ruins, but there was doubt as to whether Mrs. Gunness had perished or escaped to some oth- CT section of the country, after de- stroying the house and it's occupants.
 Robbery is supposed to have been the motive of Mrs. Guinness, as each of her farmer admirers came well supplied with wealth.
 At frequent intervals since the 1e- struction of the Guinness home, false reports of the discovery of the multi murderess have been received from almost every section of the country. The doubt which has always existed as to whether she died in the fire or escaped led detectives and officers to prosecute the search for years in the hope of winning the biz reward offered for her discovery and cap- ture.
 When the first missing man was discovered buried on the Guinness farm officials literally dug up the entire farm in the search for other victims. The remains of more than half a dozen victims were found and identified. Relatives of the dead men spent money layishly in an en- deavor to prove the death or where abouts of Mrs. Gunness, but slnce the day of the fire at the farm house, nothing definite has ever been heard from her.

IS LATER CLEARED UP BY FIND ING THE MISSING CREW OF
 THE VESSEL.
DRIFTING UNDER FULL SAIL
Ship Was Abandoned While Aground and Later Floated of it's Own Ac- cord and Picked up With Cargo and in Good Condition.

New Bedford, Mass, Nov. 5.-The faded yellow pages of the log books of the New Bedford whaling fleet fall to record a mystery of the sea more baffling than that presented today when the revenue cutter Gresham lowed into port the Glouster fishing schooner Annie M. Parker, which was picked up Monday with all sails set, her hold filled with fish and with out soul on board, sixty miles east of the Nantucket lightship. There is no trace of any of the 19 men com posing the schooner's crew.
 In it's details the mystery recalls the case of the Boston brig Marie Celeste, which was found abandoned at sea some forty years ago. The fate of her crew never was known. The British steamer Astrakhan, bound from New York for France sighted the Parker Monday, drifting with all sails set Boarding the schooner, officers of the steamer found four of the dories missing. A few burned pieces of bread was all the food in the galley, indicating that before leaving the crew had hastily gathered together supply of pro visions.
 i The schooner was not leaking and was in perfect condition except for the loss of one jib. Salt fish, valued at about ss,000, filled the hold. A prize crew from the Astrakhan took charge of the Parker and turned her over to the Gresham.
 The Parker's owners said she sailed from Sydney, N. S., for her home port on Oct 26, after fishing trip to the Newfoundland Grand Banks. She was in command of Captain Vincent Nelson, veteran Glouster skipper, and was manned by a crew of IS. The owners could offer no explana- tion of the abandonment of the yes sel. There is a possibility that the Parkers crew was picked up by some sailing vessel. Had they been taken on board a steamer, the rescue prob ably would have been reported by wireless.

HARBoR IMPROVEMENTS.
At New York Win Accommodate the
 Largest Ocean Liners.

New York. Nov 4.-Work was be- gun today on the 1000 foot pier in the Hudson river at Fcrty-siXth street that marked the beginning of harbor improvements, which, it is claimed by it's initiators, will place New York on a par in accommodations for shipping with the great harobrs of the world. Other piers of equal length are plan. ned and eventually the entire Hud- son river water front, city officials predicted today, would be rebuilt for the accommodation of the great ocean liners of the future.
 Mayor Kline, mayor-elect Mitcte'l, representatives of the chamber of com merce and the maritime association and city officials attended the cere- mony incident to starting the work today
