Perth Amboy evening news., 1914-04-15

The tug was rounding the Great
Beds light, and the rescued members
OF the crew claim that when making
the turn they were tripped by the
coal barge Pequod, bound for South
Amboy. When the boat began to
Keel, Marsdale and Hodgis jumped
into the water thinking it would
SINK Immediately. They tried to
reach the barge but were unable to
make any headway against the heavy
sea and wind, being drowned within
few minutes after they jumped.
Captain Hallyburton could not get
ont of the pilot house to cut the
hauser, and the tug slowly began to
sink Seeing their distress from the
shore, Captain William Post. of the
y. F. Merrell, went to their rescue
at full speed, followed by the Le-
high Valley tug Mahonoy.
When the resCuing party reached
the unfortunate tug, it's crew was
clinging to the pilot house and rig
ging, almost exhausted from expos
ure. When the boat began to over
turn, the men attempted to launch a
liIeboat, and when the craft broke
away from them, carried by the
strong tide, they began TO give up
hope.
Captain Post, of the MerrelI.
manouyered alongside the sinking
tug about twenty-five minutes after
the accident happened, and with
great difficulty managed to take the
ldrenched men on board. The Mer-
rell landed the rescued members of
the crew at the steamboat dock and
n n TNtln
and various places along shore to
receive nourishment and dry cloth
ing. The men who We're first taken
from the Aries believed that the
steward, Fred HALLIBURTON. the cap
tain's son, could not be saved, being
trapped in the kitchen, but he man
aged to climb on deck with great
difficulty and was among those
rescued.
Immediately upon reaching shore
Captain Hallyburton telephoned to
the office of the Tames Towing Com
pany at New London, notifying them
of the accident and asking them to
come to the crews relief, they being
stranded in this city with no money
and little clothing.
The rigging and pilot house of the
tug still project from the water
although the latter will probably be
shortly washed away. The Light
house Board has been notified of the
accident and will probably place a
light on the wreck at once since 1t
forms a dangerous menace to navi-
cation. The bodies of the drowned
men have not yet been secured.
AS the tug leered over on its side
big steampipe bursted, severely
scalding several of the men Chief
Engineer William e. Griswold was
more severely scalded than the
| others. His right foot was blistered
with the skin burned partially Off
The men rescued were brought to
the pilot house and to the tug Wa
tuppa, lying off the Raritan Mercan-
tile Company's dock in Front street.
Frank Prout, the first mate of the
| Watuppa, was one of the first to see
the tug sink. The scalded men were
attended at the pilot house by DR..
Charles w. Naulty, Jr. AS they had
no clothes to change in they stripped
| themselves and hung their wet suits
! by the boiler in the Watuppa and
the furnace in the pilot house

Workman Suffers Great Pain
After Marrow Escape.

Enveloped In flames from blazing
asphalt, John Fadef, of 259 Laurie
street, saved himself from being
burned to death when he ran from
the vicinity of the fire after dropping
two receptacles containing the burn
ing substance about O'Clock yester-
DAY afternoon The accident occurred
on the easterly sidewalk of State
street near Smith, at the time when
the streets were well-tilled with Pc
destrians.
The man s right hand was overed
with the blazing liquid, burning the
skin in some places to the bone. Ac-
cording to DR.. George W. Tyrrell,
who attended Fadef, nearly all the
skin on the mans hand will peal off,
and the member will not be healed
sufficiently to be used for about three
weeks. Those standing near at the
time say that 1t was miraculous that
the mans clothing was not set afre,
as he was for few moments entire
ly surrounded by flames.
The man is employed by the New
Jersey Roofing Company, of King
street, and was putting asphalt on
cellar wall at Albert Icons fur
niture store He had Just dipped
some of the melted asphalt from the
pot over a small furnace in the
street near the sidewalk. 1t seems
that as he poured the liquid into a
receptacle from a dipper it dripped
on the burning wood underneath the
melting pot and was set afire.

AbATE SCARLET
FEVER EPIDEMIC

The increased number OF cases OF
contagious diseases reported over the

been reported for the month: TWen-
ty-nine diphtheria, fifteen scarlet fe-

villa Again Routs Federals.

Special bp Unifed Press Wire.
Chihuahua, April 15.-General
Carranza in discussing the route OF
the combined federal forces at San
Pedro as the greatest blow for the
tory of General Villas forces at San
Pedro as theg reatest blow for the
cause of the people of Mexico that has
been struck since the revolutionary
era set in three years ago.
The routed federals are now going
towards Monterey In hope OF making
a final stand there. Villas cavalry
it at their heels. The rebels lost
nearly 1000 killed and wounded and
the federal about $500 and 700 cap
tured All the federal dead was
abandoned by the army who fired the
town before leaving.
Carranza declined to discuss the
arrest of United States marines at
Tampico or the ordering of the
Atlantic feet to the port. The gen
eral feeling among the rebel officers,
however, seems to be that the pres
ent difficulty is not between the
United States and the Mexican peo-
pie as whole, but rather disagree
ment on the part of Huerta and the
Washington government. The rebels
do not regard the matter as their
affair and in view of this stand
Huerta could not depend upon them
presenting a united front of the
Mexican people In the event of war
with the United States
