persons lost their lives. 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

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.

kov to Kkalrrlnoslav waa passing the great
monastery erected near Borky by Alexander
HI to commemorate the escape of himself

railroad wreck in 1S8, firing and cries of
help were heard. The train waa stopped

judgment discord may be avoided by that
line of action.
The senator would be pleased to hear from
you. Yours truly, J. B. HAYNEB.
Secretary.
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.

Victim l Lying at Faint of Death and
llaahand In Jail.
HASTINGS. Neb., July 29 -(Special Tele,
gram ) As the result of a shooting affray
at an early hour this morning. Walter
McCullough lls at the point of death and
Barney aVearson langulhes In the county
Jail. It seems that Mrs. Barney Pearron
thought her husband on th way to Wyom
ing and that McCullough and J. Crofford
were In the Tearson home eating and
drinking about 12;30 this morning, when a
load of shot was fired through the dining
room window and the entire charge lodged
In th back of McCullough. Crofford is a
young man and was keeping company with
Millie, the 15-year-old daughter of Mr. and
Mr. Barney Pearson, while McCullough
Is a married man with a family, and he
was paying respects, It Is alleged, to Mrs.
Pes rson.
The first that was known of the affray
was at 12:40 this morning, when Mr. M. A.
Hartlgan was awakened at hla home, West
Fifth street, by a knocking on the porch.
On opening the door Mr. Hartlgan found
Walter McCullough lying prostrate on the
porch In a badly wounded condition. The
police and physicians were summoned and
the wounded man was taken to a physi
cian's office where an operation waa per
formed. On opening the abdomen it was
found that the intestines were badly pene
trated and torn by No. 4 shot. Four Inches
of the Intestines were removed ana a
murphy button supplied. The patient I
still alive, but It is not thought that he
will survive the night.
Barney Pearson, who had started for
Cheyenne, but stopped at Grand Island,
returned to Hastings last night but did not
go home. He stayed all night at the home
of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. K. Pearson,
who reside in his neighborhood.
Rev. A. Lemksu of the German Evangeli
cal church stated this morning that he was
called out of his house last night by
Barney Pearson, who asked him to accom
pany him to his (Pearson's) home to be a
witness of what waa transpiring. It is said
that Mr. Lemkau went with Pearson and
saw two people in the Pearson home, one
of whom was McCullough, standing close
to Mrs. Pearson. Shortly after he went on
the opposite side of the house, he heard a
gun shot, snd a few seconds later he saw
a man running out of the house.
Barney Pearson was taken In charge by
the police this morning and later turned
over to the custody of Sheriff McCreary to
be held without bond to await further re
sults. F1REMEV9 TOlRAAMEVr PROGRAM
