FOR 10 ON
VESSEL

ST. JOHN, n. B., Jan. 14.-Hopes
for the safety of the 100 passengers
and sailors of the liner Cobequid rose
and fell to-day as twelve ships sought
TO find some trace of the vessel that
Yesterday.
Belief that the vessel might have
survived was practically abandoned
when news came from Yarmouth, n.
$. that wreckage had been picked up
near there. But hope was renewed
when it was pointed out that the
Cobequid would have been far out Of
her course If she went ashore In
this vicinity, and this hope was
strengthened when the steamer Royal
George reported that it had caught
at 10 a. m. to-day a faint IS. o. s.
call, believed to have come from the
Cobequid" 1t was said the Govern
ment steamer Lady Laurier also had
caught the same faint distress call
Believe Vessel Sunk.
The belief was expressed. here this
afternoon that if the wireless IS. o.
s" calls were really from the Cobe
Quid, they were the last efforts o.
the liners operator to get help and
that the vessel probably had sunk
within a short time thereafter.
In the hope that some Of those
on board had been able to get away
in boats, patrol of the Bay of Fundy
was ordered this afternoon. The tug
S. S. Springhill, fastest of those in
port, was sent out to lead the search
for survivors
Wreckaee Indicates Fate.
Among the wreckage that drifted
ashore at Yarmouth is a piece or
board bearing the words Keep clear
of twin screws" such as the missing
Cobequide carried on her stern when
in port. There is also in the wreck
age an extension ladder and a con-
panionway fixture. Shipping men az

The first news of the death came
to Frank Pearson, whose wife, the
well known singer, was with Mrs.
Swift in Washington. 1t brought the
information that Mrs. Swift had died
in the Providence Hospital at the
Capital after an operation following
complications attendant upon appen-
dicitis.
Two weeks ago Mrs Swift had re-
gained sufficient strength after long
siege of illness to take a trip to the
Capital to visit her sister. She left in
company with Mrs Pearson with her
baby girl, for whom she had dropped

cepting $4,000 and the child instead.

TWO KILLED BY LIGHTNING.
Little Children Die While at Play in
Barn.

Aiken, Aug. 3.-Although Aiken
county has experienced many severe
electrical storms this season, the first
toll of life was exacted yesterday
afternoon about 4 o'clock, when little
Alvin Boyd and Ethel Ready were
killed by lightning on the place of
Mr.. Nathaniel Boyd, near Talatha.
The two little children were play
ing in the barn with Nick Boyd, aged
ten. He ran in the house and told
his parents that the other two child
rem had fallen, and when the people
ran out to the barn they found that
they had been killed by lightning.
The little boys jawbone was broken
and his clothes were torn to shreds.
The little girl was not burned very
much. A horse in the barn was also
killed, but the barn was not demolish-
ed to any extent.

KILLED BOARDING TRAIN.
Rev. w. Norwood Tillinghast, Wash
ingtOn Minister, is Killed.

Spartanburg, Aug. 2.-Rev w. I.
Tillinghast, rector of an Episcopal
church in Washington, D. c., was
killed by a train at Morganton, n.
c., yesterday afternoon at $50
o'clock. He was on his vacation and
had been visiting D. R. Tillinghast at
Morganton, who is the father of Prof.
]. A. Tillinghast, of this city, who is
the cousin of the man killed. Prof.
Tillinghast received the news of the
death at midnight.
1t appears that Mr.. Tillinghast
was taking the train at Morganton
for Waynesville. He was bidding his
friends good bye and fingered till the
train began to move. In some way
his grip caused him to fall between
the cars, it is thought, and he was
instantly killed. No further particu-
lars are known.
Mr.. Tillinghast was the son of Rev.
]. H. Tillinghast, of Eastover.

MEETING OF COTTON MEN.
President of Association Plans Con.

Atlanta, August 3.-Harvie Jor-

Southern cotton association, today
telegraphed representatives Of the
association througout the States in
the cotton belt, suggesting the neces-
sity for a mass meeting Of farmers,
merchants, bankers, manufacturers
and all other allied interests of the
cotton trade, to be held in New Or
leans early in September. The pur-
pose of the conference would be 20
formulate and adopt such measures
as might be considered necessary to
protect the price of cotton from the
depressing influence of a protracted
European war. President Jordan
said that he believed this step neces-
sary to sound cotton interests.

BODY TO BE EXHUMED.
Widow Fears Husband May Have
Been Victom of Plot.

Florence, August AT the re-
quest of DR.. Graham, Of Cowards,
Coroner J. L. Gum went to that place
Monday for the purpose of eXhuming
the body of Mr.. Miles. who died
near there a few days ago. The re-
quest was upon the insistence by the
widow of the late Mr.. Miles, whom
she fears was the victim of a plot
which resulted in his death. 1t is
stated that Mr.. Miles had taken a
drink of whiskey to relieve a pain
that he was suffering with. and it was
only a short time before he was dead.
1t is further stated that it might be
possible that poison was put in the
whiskey, and with that idea upper
most in her mind, the widow made
request for the body to be exhumed
and examined.

UNUSUAL CHARGE TO JURY.
Judge #. S. Sease Pleads for Com
pulsory Education.

Spartanburg, August 4.-1nasmuch
as the question of compulsory educa-
ton is one of the leading issues Of
the gubernatorial campaign, now on,
much attention has been attracted by
Judge Thomas S. Sease's references
to the subject yesterday in his charge
to the grand jury at the opening of
the court Of general sessions. Judge
Sease devoted most of his address to
compulsory education, which he
strongly approves and which he ad-
vised the grand jury to recommend to
the legislature. In part Judge Sease
said:
1T is strange, gentlemen, if COM
pulsory education is bad thing, that
forty or forty-one or two States OF
this nation, the greatest nation on
earth, have adopted some law along
the line of compulsory education.
"The State owes it to itself to pro-
tect itself. The State is perpetuity,
it goes on forever. There is no pro-
gressive legislation unless it takes in
to consideration the future happiness
and well-heing of the generations
that come after. You and l in our
life time would probably see no ben
efits directly flowing from a compul-
sorry education system, but those
coming after, fifty years from now,
would see it.
Ignorance is the prolific field of
demagogy. Therefore, gentlemen, l
have no hesitation in saying that If
you come to the conclusion, after
due consideration, that this county
and State needs a law along the line
of compulsory education, say so in
your final presentment. You may
ignore it. cant compel you to con-
slider it one way or the other. 1t is
for you, as to whether or not you will
recommend such things for the good
of the order so to speak.
Il take it, gentlemen, that these
remarks that | have made are not
improper"
