The sole survivor of the threemasted schooner John Maxwell, wrecked on the shoals off New Inlet, N. C, is Captain Fred erick Godfrey. The other men on the ill-fated vessel, seven in number, are known to have perished. Lashed to a piece of wreckage, Cap tain Godfrey, who clung to his ship " until it broke in two, was rescued by the life-savers of the New Inlet sta tion yesterday morning at 1 o'clock. The surf men walked out up to their : '-armpits and threw the half unconscious man a life-line. He was dragged ? through the breakers more dead than alive. After being revived, the cap tain, who has a wife living at Mill bridge, Me., told how the other men on his vessel died, and gave the names of two of them. Mate Wallick, of Boston, with the five members of the crew, perished early Saturday morning, when they tried to reach the shore in a small boat launched soon after the schooner struch the shoal. The steward, Alexander Pilimos, of Long Island, N. Y., where he has a wife and two children living jumped into the storm-swept sea Saturday af ternoon while temporarily insane from the suffering he had borne. The schooner and cargo of coal are a total loss. New York, November 4. A. H. Bull & Co., part owners of the schooner John Maxwell, which was pounded to pieces yesterday on the Hatteras shoals, received word today that the vessel' captain, Frederick Godfrey, had been washed ashore clinging to a piece of wreckage. Although Captain Godfrey suffered from exposure, he ii expected to live as the only survivor of the crew of seven men aboard the Maxwell when she struck Friday night while bound from Norfolk to Savan nah. The telegram received by the won ers came from another captain in their i service at Norfolk.

Some very much prized curios were taken from the curio and relic depart ment of the Eastern Carolina Fair last Tuesday. They were as follows: A small basket made in Alaska with fur around sides and bright colored beaded top. Inside the basket there was an old snuff box with bottom of mother of pearl and silver -lookingtop on which a coat of arms is faintly imprinted. Also a mourning ring with the date 1749 and the name J. S. Jacocks in side, setting of a clear stone in which when you look you see a skeleton, also a very old cup and saaucer. The Asso ciation offers a good reward for the re turn of these articles and no questions asked. They are only valuable as heirlooms to the family who owned them.. DROPS TAFT FOR WILSON. B. W. Corkran, Jr., Calls Democrat Sane Progressive. Baltimore, Nov. 4. Benjamin W. Corkran, Jr., of the pork packing firm of Streett & Corkran, will vote for Woodrow Wilson Tuesday "because he believes in the man." Mr. Corkran voted for both Roose velt and Taft for the Presidency, as well as for every other presidential candidate the Republican party has nominated in the last 34 years. But Taft, he says, is blind and deaf to the great unrest of the times, while Roose velt is rash and impatient to a danger ous degree. "I expect to vote for Governor Wil son," said Mr. Corkran yesterday, "because 1 believe in the man. He is progressive, yet safe and sane in his progressiveness. "He sees and realizes the critical condition of affairs quite as much as Mr. Roosevlt, while he is as conserva tive and careful in his plans for meeting these conditions as President Taft. "The best elements in the character of the other two Presidential candidates are combined in the personality of Governor Wilson. "President Taft is blind and deaf to the great unrest of the present time. He would have the old order continued when its knell has already been sounded, Roosevelt, on the other hand, is keenly alive to the signs of the times, but he is rash and impatient; while trying to meet and satisfy the grumbling of a certain element in the country, he would rashly run ahead of his opportunity and employ means that might do serious injury to the settled institutions of the country. "Governor Wilson sees as far as Roosevelt . He hears the rumbling of the threatening storm, he understands. the spirit of his times and is keenly alive to the public sentiment about him, but he recognizes ar the same time the seriousness of the situation .. He, respects the established order of things even while he recognizes the wrongs and oppressions that demand correction "I believe he will work out a better order of things without disturbing the general poise of public affairs. "' Little isoi dies frida y, mother follows sunday After a short illness Mrs. Frances P. Lilliston, widow of the late Charles B Lilliston, died at the home of her father, Mr. W. H. Smith near Thurman, Sun day morning at 9 o'clock. The funeral service was conducted from the home yesterday morning at 10:30 o'clock by Rev. B. F. Huske, ' Rector of .Christ Episcopal church of 1 this city.! .The remains were brought to New Bern and interred in Cedar Grove - cemetery. Mrs, Lilliston' eight-year-old son died last Friday and at that time she was well enough to attend his funeral. She is survived by one daughter. and was. hauled ashore. . They carried him to the nearby life saving station, and, with copious draughts of a stimulant, revived the half dead man. ' He was supplied with dry- clothing and wrapped in warm blankets. For nearly 24 hours Captain Godfrey, chilled to the marrow from spray-and stripped . almost 'naked by the seas, had been without a mouthful of' food or a drop of water. How he survived the experience is more than the life savers could understand, (or he k well beyond the SO year mark. fry',,; $ j i . r 9 THOMAS R. Returns Show That He Will Have Overwhelming Majority In Electoral College. MAY EVEN CARRY ILLINOIS The Majority Given Him One of the Greatest In History of the Country. New York, Nov. 6. Returns from the Presidential election have been received sufficient to indicate the exact complexion of the Electoral College. Wilson's vote will be 387, Roosevelt 89, Taft 12. The majority for Wilson is one of the greatest ever given a Presidential candidate. One of the unexpected developments of the dav was the news that Illinois might be for WiUon insead of for Roose velt as the early returns seemed to show beyond any doubt. With the receipt of nearly every belated return Wilson seemed to be gaining. The States that have gone for Taft are Utah, Vermont and Wyoming. Illinois (unless returns yet to come in change the result), Pennsylvania Michi gan and Washington are the States that have given Roosevelt a plurality. All the rest are in the Wilson column. Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 6. William Jennings Bryan, expressing his pleasure at the election of Governor Wilson, said: "As a religious hymn has been brought into the campaign by one of the parties, I think that 1 am justified in using the lines of another hymn to express my feelings: '"This is the day I long have sought, And mourned because I found it not. "I am happier than Governor Wilson, for his joy is repressed by a sense of responsibility,' while I am happy and free. "My confidence in Governor Wilson has grown with acquaintance1 and I feel sure that he will live up to expecta tions. I believe he listens to his con science." Taft Makes Statement. Cincinnati, Nov. 6. President Taft issued the following statement on the election. Cincinnati, Nov. 6. President Taft "The return insure the election of Governor Wilson to the presidency. This means an early change in the economic policy of the government in reference to the tariff. If this change can be made without halting prosperity, I sincerely hope it may be. "The vote for Mr. Roosevelt, the third party candidate, and for Mr. Debs, the Socialist candidate, is a warning that their propaganda inf avor of funr damental changes in our constitution al representative government has for midablc support. "While the experiment of a change in the tariff is being carried out by the Democrats, it behooves Republicans to gather again to the party standard and pledge anew their faith in their party's principles and to organize again to defend ' the constitutional govern ment handed down to us by our fathers Without compromising our principles we must convince and win back former Republicans and wc must reinforce our ranks with constitution loving Demo crats. "We favor every step of progress toward more perfect equal opportunity and the ridding society of injustice. But we know that all progress worth making is possible with our present form of government and . to sacrifice that which is of the highest value in our governmental structure for unde fined and impossible reforms is the wildest folly. , We must face the danger with a clear knowledge of what it is. The Republican party is equal to the task." " '-. Most of our so called good intentions are base imitations. Don't brag about yourself; jolly others into doing it for you.

New York has become a Billion Dol lar city, according to data made public by the Merchants' Association yester day. The municipal debt is now over $1,037,000,000.

Raleigh, N. C. ,Nov. 6. -In a bundle of old letters just unearthed here there is one written in 1896 by Dr. W. A. Montgomery, late of William and Mary Collegs, but now professor of Latin in Richmond College, giving Dr. Montgomery's remarkable school boy estimate of Governor Woodrow Wilson and Colonel Roosevelt. He was writing from Johns Hopkins Uni verstiy, where he had just heard Wilson and Rooseyelt in a great Music hall citizen's meeting in connection with the reform movement contest then on in Baltimore. . - The letter was written to Dr. Mont gomery's father, Hon. W. A. Mont gomery, thn a justice of the North Carolina supreme court. ' Of the speechmaking, Dr. Montgom cry said:j "Prof, Woodrow Wilson of Princeton and now lecturing at Johns Hopkins, and who is one of the great authorities, ' I am told, on municipal questions, spoke first. I was proud of him as in any wise connected - with the school. He has a most easy and graceful manner.. His words fall as clearly: and simply as-though coined separately. His voice is excellent, without ' any seeming effort . on his part, and he. for 15 minutes taught those people. , They hung upon his words.' You could see the surprise in the faces of the people that he should be a college man, when he was so dif ferent from their conception of a dust dried bookman. He is my ideal of a university man. ' He knows books none better in his line but he knows what is reached by few, how to trans late them into the life of himself and the people with whom he lives. With him the book is not the end of life, which is the case' with so manty." Of Colonel Roosevelt, Dr. Montgom ery , said:, " Roosevelt, the .noted, talked about and described police commissloner-of New York, also spoke. He is a bundle of self confidence and aggressiveness, hits you hard in the face and believes he has a mission in the world that he onTytan perform hence his success. , He is nospeaker beyond a driving line of short, crio sentences in a vehement way," . STOLE TWO DOLLARS. - . Lehman Ernul, colored, was placed under arrest . Tuesday, by Policeman Whitford on a warrant charging him with .the larceny of two dollars from Mr.. Henry Gaskins' store on the pre vious night. Yesterday afternoon he was given a preliminary hearing before Mayor McCarthy and probable cause being found was bound over to the next term of Superior Court under a bond of two hundred dollars in dcfiult of which he was committed to jail.
