HERMITS' WOOD
 FLOATS IN HARB0R

Wood. not bread, was cast upon the loaded with lumber which the Her mits intended to distribute among the poor of the city, sank at the city dock at the foot of Wall street. The waters of the harbor, covered with HQating timber, presented a strange spectacle this morning. Unless the salvage work is speeded up, the Her. mits as well as the wood may find needy folks come around for their fuel.
 The load of lumber which arrived via the barge route from Stecplechase Island consisted of parts of frame houses which had been torn down by tho Eastern Engineering company. The great barge made the trip across the harbor in good shape. but started to neftle down in the water shortly after she had been tied up at the Wall street pier.
 A hurry call for a pump was sent to the Bridgeport Towing Co, but wien the apparatus arrived, the Scott WreckinS Co. had already taken charge. The barge soon became waterlogged and the wood started to harbor.
 this morning when a gang of men started to salvage the cargo. Work was reported to be progressing under tho helpful advice handed out by many representatives of the great army of unemployed" who were or hand to witness the marine disas- ter.

 Thirteen" may be lucky for some people, but it seems to play false to Wade. The total of his serial num- bers added is "13." He began his married life on the thirteenth and was sentenced to death on the thiri teenth.
 The sheriff's party escorting Wade took him to a hotel in Weth ersfi cid for dinner before proc ceeding to the prison to deliver him to the warden. As they approa ached the place and Wade got his first glimpse of the grim building he turned to one of the deputies and said:
