Kcndall, Montana, May 12, 1903. 7. STEAMER GRAVEYARD New Jersey Town Where Many Old Eastern Vessels Lie. Well -Known River Craft That Have Become Worn Out Find a Rent - lag Place on the ltaritan'n Ranks. It appears to have been left for the residents of the little town of Perth Amboy to prove that the Hindoo belief in the transmigration of E011113 is a re- ality. at least, as far as beats are con- cerned, says the St. LOUA Repyblic. Steam craft which in years ione by made great -records in the local waters and later were dragged out of the busy swirl tired of the struggle. are to -day so much a pert of the Raritan river town that their names are house- hold v:ords there. The graveyard of cld vessels has had a day 4 f resurrection. l'he valiant spirit of each has left cold boiler and paralyzed engine to take up its abode in dwellings. del:ora- tions-and the huh-ed and este. things into which its dismembered but resur- rected body has been transformed. During the last few yea: s many well- known boats have been brGugat to- gether on the shelving banks of the Raritan river, where the junkman de- cides their destiny. • \ The giantess cf them all is the famous old Albany boat Drew. Close beside her are the tire -ravaged hulls. of the ferryboats Elizabeth and Plainfield. The worn-out ferryboat Central and the ill-fated Northfield are rubbing .their noses in a friendly way with the rise and fall of the tide against the Drew's port quarter. The half -burned Thomas McManus. keeps well tinder water on the river side of the fleet. The sice-wneel steamer Colonies, of Philadelphia. which was condemned as unteawo:thy after the las t internation- al yacht races, and the famous old ferryboat Chancellor, the only craft to cross the bay during the blizzard of trot, have both settled high up in the sands. These boat. represent more than .000 000 in original costtaad are in all stages of dhmantlement. Probabiy one of the greatest boons that ever came to Perth Amboy A•us the stean:er Drew. She was towed to her present berth little more than a year ago. From the outside she apfeared to be a great unwieldy hulk of little value, but within she has proved to be a veritable treasure ship. Houses have been built from the well -seasoned planking of her super- structure. The panel work and rich carvings of her 400 and more staterooms have been used for interior decorations, and the staterooms themselves for store- hollE There is one stateroom which has been left just where it was when the old river boat made her last trip. Money cannot buy it from the junk- man. The pleasant memories of his hon- eymoon still linger with it. From one end of the craft to the oth- er it. is the only spot which will not feel the sharp ,edge of the wreckers' tools. With , the exception of that part of the Drew which has been used the e junkman himself in the construction of living quarters for his men and a combination office and storehouse, in the heart of the town, all the material has been sold at a good price. An elderly widow is the proud owner of a comfortable home made entirely from the Drew. Her dog and chickens are also snugly housed within a portion of the resur- rected craft. So extravagant , were the builders of the boat in the selection of materials used for - her construction that carpen- ters and decorators of the town have purchased almost the entire super- structure. although it is as yet not more than half dis n - antled. In the building trade there is a de - mend for \Dres r s -- timber\ and among decorators a call for \Drew trim- mings.\ The foregoing is the spirit of the Drew made manifest in Perth Amboy. It is not confined there alone, how - 'ever, for all over the country there is demand for some part of her con- itruction. 'The giant parts of her engines have already gone to the steel works of Pennsylvania and Connecticut to be fashinoed into car wheels, axles and building material. Side -Tracked. Epitaphs was the subject; the Riggs house, Washington, was the place, and Lafe Pence, former representative, was the speaker. He said \I remember one that adorned the cemetery at Leadville, in the palmy days of that great mining camp. It seems that in the course of a barroom brawl one Jim O'Brien, a well-known character, had his existence termin- ated prematurely. He was a good fel- low in the main, and not without friends. One of the dead man's asso- ciates, in deep grief over his demise, erected a wooden slab over his grave, on which he had written in large let - era: \Jim O'Brien departed for heaven it 9:30 a. \A local humorist happened along soon afterward and appended the fol- lowing: \'heaven 4:20 p. m.—O'Brien not yet arrived. Intense excitement. The worst is feared.' \—Buffalo Times. The German government proposes the acquisition of six private railways in Prussia. The railroads of Germany are partly owned by the government and part by private eornorations. C B. KELLY H. A.
