FIVE SAILORS DROWNED
Boat Capsized When They Tried to
Land From Wreck.
Richibucto, N. B.,, Nov. 6. — Five
members of the crew of the Norwegian
bark Adeona, which was wrecked on a
roof off Richibucto bar during a heavy
northeast gale last Thursday night,
were drowned while attempting to
make a landing on the beach. The
men were all Norwegians, and as there
is no communication with the vessel
their names are not known here. The
Adeona carried a carload of lumber
and had anchored off the bar to await
2 favorable wind to take her into the
Qulf of St. Lawrence on her way to
Preston, England, her destination. In
the storm of Thursday night the bark
dragged her anchors and stranded on
a long sand bar at the mouth of the
harbor.
The crew of the bark attempted sev.
eral times to reach shore. Several of
the boats were dashed to pieces
against the side of the vessel, and not
until Monday was a boat able to leave
the stranded bark. The long boat of
the ship was put over the side, with
five men at the oats. The boat had
made its way half the distance to the
shore when a great wave capsized it,
and before assistance could be sent to
the sailors all five perished. Three of
the bodies were washed ashore.

SWITCHMEN | MAY STRIKE
Demands For Increase of Wages and
Shorter Heurs Refused.
Scranton, Pa., Nov. 6.—The switch
men employed by the Lackawanna
| between Hoboken and Buffalo receiv-
ed the final answer of the company to
| their demands for an increase in wages
with shorter hours. Although both
sides refuse to give the contents of
the answer it is almost an assured fact
that the demands have been refused.
In this event, a strike of all the switch-
men on the system is likely to be de-
clared
Acting for General Superintendent
| Clarke, Division Superintendent Rine
handed the answer of the company to
the grievance committee of the
switchmen. Later an interview was
granted the committee by Mr. Clarke,
who positively stated that the answer
was final. The letter has been sent
to Grand Master Hawley, in Chicago.
Big Strike Is Probable.
Chicago, Nov. 6.—Unless some sort
of a compromise is reached before
Wednesday night members of the
Switchmen’s Union of North America
| employed on 23 of the railroads enter-
ing Chicago will probably go on strike

demand of the switchmen was for an

for an eight-hour has been dropped,

crease.
WIFE MURDERER A SUICIDE
Blows Out His Brains.
Baltimore, Md., Nov. 6.—In a cheap
lodging house on East Baltimore
street,
Greensboro, N. C., blew out his brains
| with a shot from a 32-calibre revolver.
Dr. Matthews was convicted March
9, 1906, at Greensboro, N. C., of the
poisoning of his wife, December 1,
1905. He had been out of custody un-
der bail pending the decision of his
i appeal for a new trial, which was de- |
| nied him, and relatives and bondsmen |
| have been searching for him for some
| weeks that he might be taken before
| the court to be re-sentenced. In the
absence of any definite reason for his
taking his life it is supposed that he
did so rather than serve the sentence,
said to be 20 years in the peniten-
tiary, to be imposed upon him. At the
lodging house where he ended his life
he gave the name of E. J. Graham.
Immediately after his conviction,
which was of murder in the second de-
gree, Dr. Matthews became a patient
at Mount Hope Retreat, near this city.
and was there under treatment for
the morphine and liquor habits for
some months, finally being discharged
as cured.
