VESSEL ViEATHERED
FIERCE HURRICANE.
Big Steamer at the Dock oWmerican Smelting & Refining Company
Does not Show the Effecis of the Storm—Coating of Salt on
Smokestack..Bound North from Tampico—Cargo IVas Shifted.
- «
To look at the big steel steamer
Sidra, Captain Freeman, which is
k now dooked at the American Smelt
i ing & Refining Company’s plant,
where she arrived this morning from
Tampico, Mexico, with a cargo of
lead ore, there is nothing to show the
p weather she experienced while on the
trip north. She had a pretty hard
time however, and narrowly escaped
going to the bottom in the big West
Indian hurricane which did so much
damage in Jamaica a short time ago.
The steamer left Tampico before
the weather forecast people had any
idea that there was to De a hurrioane
and she was several days out when
the lookout reported what appeared
to be a oig cloud, making rapidly for
the steamer. It grew larger as it ap
proaches and it was evioent a hard
blow was at band. The gale soon
reached the vessel and a storm broke
with all its fury. The gale increased
and the big steamer Tolled heavilv.
Many tons of the lead was on deck
and the vessel was onlv loaded to
about half her full capacity. Had
she had a full cargo, she would prob
, ablv have gone down. As the gale
^ increased to a hurricane, the cargo on
\ deck began to shift and, in order to
steady the vessel more, the captain
ordered all hands to assist in throwing
the cargo into the hold. This was
hard work and several of the men
were nearly swept from the deck in
spite of the faot that they were lashed
fast and wore life savers.
With all the cargo below, the
steamer rode the gale a little better.
After a hard run, the vessel finally
passed out of the storm. The only
noticeable feature as she lay at tne
dock here, is that her smoke stack has
a coating of salt where the spray had
lashed and evaporated.

TOLD OF THE
CONVENTION.
Rev. S. I. Jackson Conducted
an Interesting Service in
Simpson M. E. Church.
THE EPWORTH LEACUE.
The services in Simpson M. E.
chnrch last evening, in which the
ideas of the Epworth League con
vention at Detroit were followed,
were very interesting and instructive,
and were attended by a large congre
gation.
The music was the same as was used
at various services at the convention
and was greatly enjoyed. A mixed
quartet rendered several selections
and Mrs. R. W. Macan and Mrs
Jennie Pemberton sang a very pretty
duet.
Rev. S. Travena Jackson, who was
the delegate from Simpson M. E.
church, in a very interesting manner,
described the convention. He told of
the decorations of the oity of Detroit,
the royal welcome accorded the dele
gates, over 30,000 in number, and the
largely attended services throughout
the city, with their beautiful musio
and stirring adaresses.
Mr. Jackson said in part:
“It is my desire to bring to the
people of Perth Amboy, as far as
possible, the spirit of that great' con
course of people, representing every
State in the Union and even Canada.
When we entered the city, we saw
the red and white of our church and
the red and yellow of the southern
church displayed on every hand. At
night there were electric lights
throughout the city, setting forth the
words: ‘Welcome Epworth Leaguers!’
We were received in the churches and
home of the city, irrespective of
oreed and were officially welcomed by
the mayor of the city.
“The addresses were most stirring
and enthusiastic, one of the best oe
ing delivered by the governor of
N ebraska.
“The great spirits displayed were
those of welcome, progressive Christ
ianity, Bible study, Christian fratern
ity, conquest and the spirit of Pente
cost. ”
During Dr. Jackson’s address,
musical selections were introduced.
After the address Rev. Mr. White, of
the Westminster,pronounced the bene

pital yesterday, suffering from his in
juries.

hurt. The men had an altercation in
the saloon and it is alleged a cue was
brought into play by • Rusko as the

deadly weapon if used rightly and it
was used with sufficient force on Ma

struggle, smothered the flames.
The noise attracted a number of
people, among them three firemen,
who ran in offering their services,
but the lire had been extinguished.
It is thought the lamp was left
turned too high and that the bowl,
being filled with oil, was over
heated and the explosion followed.
The damage is slight.

PEARSALLS
WERE EASY.
People were Disappointed in the
Exhibition Saturday-Out
of Marion's Class.
HIT VISITORS FREELY.
The MariuDs had a batting matinee
Saturday and twirlei< Becker, of the
Pearsalls, was the sufferer. The locals
knocked out eighteen sale hits for a
total of twenty-four bases. Every
Iran on the team was credited with at
least one single, but Moorehead was
the leader of the sluggers, having four
hits, one of them a home run and
another a two-bagger as his day’s
record with the stick. The local
second baseman also scored five runs,
of which three were made without
UU.J IVUOI.7UIUVO 11UUI IlIO U iiU TT
players.
In the second inning he lifted the
ball over the left field fencP. Me
Phillips and Lyons each corralled
three hits for the locals.
The Marions won the game rather
easily the score being 12 to 6. The
visitors held the locals for four
innings but good stick work in the
fifth and eighth gave the home team
f ur mus in each inning. This was
much too big a lead for the visitors to
overcome.
In the second inning, Boehler,while
sliding to the plate, tnrned on his
ankle and the game was delayed for
several minutes. He continued in
the game, but went from left to light
field. Healy who caught here several
games with Milburn, was behind the
bat for the visitors.

Parisen's Prescription Phannacy.i
. i
t
Yesterday a young fellow walked in
to police headquarters and surrender
ed himself as a deserter from the
Brooklyn Navy Yard, saying he was
Fred Boehn, twenty-one years old, a
private in the marine corps, and with
no relatives except an aunt in Union
Hill, N. J. The authorities at the
Navy Yard were notified and someone
is expected soon to take Boehn baok
to Brooklyn.
The fellow had quite a story and,
speaking with a News reporter this
morning, said:
“I am not a regular deserter only
being three days out. By staying ten
davs I would become a deserter and a
search would be made for me. 1 am
in what is called the fourth class,
which means that I cannot leave the
yard when on leave of absence.
Thursday night, two other fellows
and myself exchanged our uniforms
for civilian’s clothes and, when the
sentry was at the end of his beat
furthest from us, we climbed the
fence surrounding the yard and
cleared out. We started for Sayreville
and stayed there a couple of days.
The other two fellows kept right on
down the line, but I walked all the
way to this town and gave myself
up.
‘‘When 1 get back I will have a trial \
and be put in the brig for several
weeks. I knew what I would get
when I took French leave, but that
couldn’t keep me' back. There are
fellows doing the same thing every
day, so I’ll have plenty of company.”
Boehn did not seem to miu<1 h\i
predicament in the least, bnt said
wished the authorities would
somebody for him soon as he did
like the local lockup much.
