There was a happy reunion of the King family at the home of Mr. John G. Kins, No. 303 North Poplar street yesterday afternoon. There were present Mr. C. F. King of Boston; Mr. R. R. King of New York; Mr. John M. King and wife of Charlotte; Mrs. Martha F. King and Mr. and Mrs. John G. King of Char lotte. An elegant dinner was served and the day was most pleasantly spent. This is the first time in 22 years that all the members of the King fam ily have met around the festive board and the day was one long to be re membered. Yesterday morning all the members of the family met at the studio of Seay & Eustler where a handsome group picture was taken. The visit of Mr. C. F. King, the mil lionaire oil man of Boston, was one of the real features of the family reunion yesterday. Mr. King came in yesterday morn ing and left last night on the north bound vestibule. It will be interesting to many Charlotte people to know that unlimited success still crowns the ef forts of this former resident. He is now located in Boston, has a beautiful home just outside the great city and is liv ing like a real King. In conversation with The News man yesterday, Mr. King stated that his business continues splendid and that he expects a large increase the coming year. Mr. King still entertains the kindest feelings for Charlotte and Charlotte people. It was in this city he made his first strides as a newspaper man and he never loses an opportunity to say good things of Charlotte. In the zenith of his business success, he turns to Charlotte with an admiring eye, for here resides his good mother and a number of his nearest relatives. In deed, he loves Charlotte and will al ways wish the city well. CREW IS MISSING.

According to reports received here yesterday, the barge Bath, which was cut adrift by the steamer Barview during tne iasx storm off Winter Quarter, was adrift three days ago 35 miles east, southeast of Cape Henry. There were no signs of life aboard and either Captain Mac- Kenzie, his wife and his crew of five men were taken off by some vessel bound across or they were lost in the great blow. There has been no report of the Bath's crew having been landed at any American port, and it is pos sible that the crew were picked up by some foreign vessel and they are now on their way to Europe where they will report their arrival. When the stamer Dennis Simmons, which runs between Washington, N. C. and Washington. D. C, came into port today, Captain Slemmons reported to the office of Hudson Brothers that he had spoken to a sahooner coming up the coast which reported to him that three days ago she had sighted the Bath at the point mentioned, that there were no sigs of life aboard and that as the schooner ws ir. no position to take the barge in tow she was compell ed to abandon the rich price. The barge appeared to be in good condition and was drifting slowly to the South. When she was abandoned she had 2, 500 tons of coal in her. How the barge could have weathered the storm is a mystery, since when she was abandon ed she was reported to be leaking. The name of the schooner which reported to the Simmons was not ascertained. The Bath was in tow of the Lake stamer Bayview bound for Newport News to Boston with coal and when off Winter Quarter, the steamer and barge were struck by the awful storm which was then sweeping up the coast. In order to save herself the steamer cut the barge loose. The Bayview tried to make Cape Henry and was blown south of Virginia Beach. She had a try ing time making the capes and when she arrived in the Roads, reported the loss of the Bath. The Bayview imme diately coaled up and left in search of the barge, but returned after a fruit less . search. Since then the revenue cutter Onondaga and the gunboat Hor net have beeri searching for the miss ing barge. Rebates. ,1. Hickety pickety, my black hen, She lays eggs for railroad men. II.

McGinn, who owns a num ber of small dwellings in the negro sections of the city, in conversation with a News reporter this morning said that his collections from his tenants for this year had been 50 per cent, better than ever before. The rents have been paid promptly in almost every instance and very few have moved off without paying him any thing, whereas many used to do it. He attributes the good collections to prohibition. He has kept a careful ac count and he says that the good re suits were noticeable almost immed iately after the prohibition law went into effect. Valuable New Jersey Property Placed in Wife's Name. Morristown, N. J., Dec. 23. Deeds were placed on record today in the Morris county clerk's office transfer ring all the real estate in this city and Morris Plains of Richard A McCurdy to his wife, Sarah E. McCurdy. Although every effort was made by Mr. McCurdy, hi attorneys, and the county eierk to-kcep- the matter from the newspapers it became known today at noon. Inspection of deeds was at first denied because o fa request from the ex Mutual Life president that the matter be kept quiet. Written across the face o f th e instructions as "not for the nespapers." The reason for the transfer could not be learned. It is known that Mc Curdy's health is failing. Since the signing of the deeds, on Monday, his son, Robert H. McCurdy, has vacated his Morris Plains residence and gone to New York for the winter. Mr. McCur dy was possessed of nearly $1,000,000 worth of property in Morristown and Morris Plains. The McCurdy mansion on South street, Morristown, is valued at over $500,000. The property was deeded to Robert H. McCurdy, and from him to his mother.

Jordan & Co., the enter prising druggists, first offered a 50 cent package of Dr. Howard's specific for the cure of constipation and dys pepsia at half price, and guaranteed to return the money if it did not cure, they thought it probable from their ex perience with other medicines for these diseases that they would have a good many packages returned. But although they have sold hundreds of bottles, not one has5 been brought back. This is so surprising that they have taken the contract: to introduce Dr. Howard's specific in at least half the homes in Charlotte and to do that they will continue their special half price introductory offer. R. H. Jordan & Co. want every per son in Charlotte who has constipation, dyspepsia, headaches or liver trouble to come to their store or send them 25 cents by mail and get 60 doses of the best medicine ever made at half the regular price, with their personal guarantee to refund the money if it does not cure. To those suffering with dizziness, headache, poor digestion, constipation cfraininir rr Howard's specific offers quick relief. It is an invaluable boon to all who feel uncomfortable af ter eating, and is to-day the popular dinner pill in all the large cities.
