There were thirty-two persons on one yacht, of whom seve.i were lout and twelve on the other, all of whom hut one were iaved. That not more fell victim to the rouKh sea was due to in heroism of Captain Henry 8. Ludlow uf the Hereford Inlet Ilfe-Mavlng station rrt a crew "of Ave men. It was at first thought that from fourteen to twenty-eight lemons had been lout, but after an Investi gation the coroner tonight stated that he believed that only eight were loat.

Annlesea is one of the favorite fie. .in plaoes alont the southern New Jersey coast and has seldom had a busier Sunday than today. Every excursion train from Phila delphia and other nearby points came down i row'ded with visitors, most of them Intend ing to spend the day In fishing. Tne 'vp.it her In the morning was Ideal and all the nulling boats took out large crowds to i he fishing banks. After noon, however, a brlrk brecx sprung; op and the captains of tne small craft hoisted sail and started for home . Most of the fleet got In without mishap, although some of them had con siderable difficulty In clearing the Hereford bar. The two boats that got Into trouble were the sloop yacht Nora, which had on board Captain Herbert Shivers, hla mate and thirty pasaarigers. and the sloop Alvln B, with a party of twelve. The sand obstruc tion is about a mile from shore. Just as the Nora was about to go over It a heavy squall struck It. As the craft heeled over It was lilt by a huge wave, and the Nora turned completely over; ' throwing the thirty-two occupants Into the sea. Aa the . yacht, turned over the mast anapped oft short. There waa an agonizing cry as the yacht turned turtle which waa quickly sllvnoed when, nearly all. the victims dis appeared beneath the water. ' Ltfeeavers to the Rescue. Tne heavy sea, however, probably was responsible for the saving of most of the eighteen survivors, as the waves were so rough that the upturned yacht was tossod about, thus uncovering the struggling vic tims caught underneath. As many as toiild reach the keel. After hanging to the yacht for nearly an hour a govern ment lifeboat, commanded by Captain Henry S. Ludlam of the Hereford Inlet Live Baring station, hove In eight, and after some maneuvering managed to get close to the cspslsed veasel. He was not a moment too soon, for as he came within a boat's length of the Nora four men, weak ened from exhaustion, let go their holds and began floating away. Captain Ludlam threw his boat around and the four half drowned men were drawn out of the wator. Then, at the risk of their own lives, the rescuers went after the other men and pulled them Into their boat. The rescue was most perilous, aa the rough sea waa constantly pounding the lifeboat against the keel of the yacht. The survivors were transferred to the sloop yacht Violet and taken ashore. Shortly after the survivors of the Nora were brought ashore another yacht, the Alvln B, was see nto capslse about a mile above the place where the Nora went over. There were several boats In the vicinity at the time and all but one person was saved. The Alvln B waa owned by E. 1,. Mailman, a lawyer of Pottavllls, Pa. He and a party of friends were on board at the time. One of the survivor of the Nora said tonight that had It not been for the prompt assistance of Captain Ludlam and his crew every parson aboard would prob ably have drowned. Ha said that when the Nora overturned It waa everybody for him self. There waa a great tangle of fishing lines and nets and It was no doubt due to this thst so many were unable to reach the eajmlsed boat. Three Oat of Ms Drowned. NEW YORK.

The action of Wayne Instructing Its dele gation for Mr Rosewater Indicated that the plan to retain Millard through unin structed delegations did nut find much favor there. Two Hot Fights for Conirrit, Oood, stiff fights are on the boards in two congressional districts, the First and the third. In the first it is a straightaway be tween Judge Jessen and Congressman Pol lard. Pollard already has instructed dele gations from Cass and Lancaster counties, and need only some support from one ad ditional county to give him the necessary majority. On the other hand, the appor tionment has been mad so that If the live outside counties unite they can control, and Jessen Is extremely popular In these coun ties while Pollard has- suffered a severe setback by the exposure of his unearned salary grab. The first of these Ave coun ties to have Its convention will be Nemaha. If Pollard wins. It will ba all over but the shouting, but if Jessen's friends are on top the Jessen boom will get a big start. Pol lard hitched up with the Brown boosters In Lancaster and Is working the Brown end of It through the district, which also serves to Complicate things considerably. In the Third district. Congressman Mc Carthy Is encountering opposition In the form of the candidacy of Judge J. F. Boyd of Neligh and former State Benator W. W. Young of Stanton. Boyd has already cap tured Instructed delegations from Antelope, Madison and Wayne, while Boone and Cedar, the other two counties whose dele gations have been named, are unlnstructed. The contest between McCarthy and Boyd Is acute In several places, especially In Dodge county, where Ross Hammond Is champion ing McCarthy and L. D. Richards and C. E. Abbott opposing him. Should McCarthy lose In Dodge county he could hardly hope to win his renomtnatlon, although even a victory there would not make It certain. Young's hope Is to come In as a compro mise candidate. It may take the congres sional convention, which meets In Fremont August 14, to settle the question. The last of the congressional conventions was called for the Sixth district, whose committee met last week and set It for Kearney, August 21. The convention Is to be called to order at t o'clock In the morn ing, so as to enable delegates who want to do so to give Congressman Klnkald another certificate of nomination and catch the trains In time to reach the state convention at Uncoln the next day.

This will be the first time thst ths government has admitted that the cost of living haa ad vanced more rapidly than wages, although everybody who works for a salary knows that It has been true for severs! years. It Is a curious fact that the report will sho that the advance In prices has not been confined to the products of mills snd fac tories. It will show that the products of the farm have advanced almost as greatly as manufactured articles which pass through several hands before resching ths consumer. Ths farmer Is receiving blither prices for his products than ever before, but there does not seem to be any good reason for ths sdvance In the prices of manufactured articles unless It is that ths trusts are enabled to control the price of the domestic article and that with cor re spending advsnc In ths wage seals they have put the price up to the consumer.
