CAPT. AND MRS. FRED C. KEAN SAFE IN HAVANA
SHIP STAYS AT SEA
Local Couple on Vacation Trip to West Indies. Due in Havana at Time of Hurricane
   The apprehension for the safety of Capt. and Mrs. Fred C., Kean of 40 Arlington Road this city, who were due in Havana yesterday, was dismissed this morning when a wireless from the United Fruit Liner Zacapa [sic] informed the Boston office of the company that the ship stayed at sea during the hurricane. The news was relayed to the local McGrath Steamship Agency.
   Mr. and Mrs. Kean boarded the liner last Saturday, bound for a vacation at Havana and Cuba, the boat being due to dock in Havana Harbor yesterday. According to the wireless, the West Indies bound steamer encountered a storm 200 miles out from Havana and the ship remained for the night continuing one day late, sufficiently tardy to miss the terrific windstorm which swept the city.
   The storm was particularly disastrous in the Havana Harbor region, completely destroying many of the ships anchored in the bay. The monument erected by the Cuban government in honor of the 266 Americans who lost their lives on the Battleship Maine, which was sunk by an explosion in Havana in 1898, was torn from its foundation. The beautiful monument overlooked the harbor.
   The Jacapa on which Mr. and Mrs. Kean were passengers was due to dock in the harbor just as the hurricane started on its six hour havoc in the vicinity. The destruction to the harbor was viewed by the passengers of the boat for the first time this morning. The United Fruit dock, where the Jacapa was due to unload passengers was badly damaged by the storm.
MRS SARAH JESS PASSED AWAY YESTERDAY
   Mrs. Sarah Jess of 16 Franklin street, this city, passed away yesterday at her house, at the age of 88 years.
   Funeral services will be held tomorrow afternoon at the late house, 16 Franklin St., at 2:30 o'clock.
MICHAEL AHERN DIES
IN CAMBRIDGE
   Michael Ahern, husband of Mrs. Annie (Shea) Ahern, of 103 Main Street, this city passed away last evening at the Holy Ghost Hospital, Cambridge. He had been ailing about a year.
   Mr. Ahern was well known in this city always residing here, and had a host of friends and acquaintances made during his long residence here. For the past six years he had been living in Salem being employed in one of its leather factories. He is the father of Miss Mary E. Ahern the local hairdresser.
   Surviving are his wife, Mrs. Annie (Shea) Ahern, one daughter, Miss Mary E. Ahern and one son James. Two sisters Mrs. Margaret McCarthy, and Mrs. Catherine Shea, and two brothers, Emmett and Edward Ahern all of this city also survive.
   The funeral arrangements have not as yet been completed.
MAYOR DEVER MEETS AN OLD ACQUAINTANCE
   Mayor William E. Dever of Chicago, in responding to the call for his services at different public gatherings, meets occasionally an acquaintance of his school days in Woburn.
   Last week while attending a dinner tendered to the visiting Democratic campaigners in the First Armstrong Hotel, Rock Island, Ill, he was told by a member of the committee that an acquaintance of his was located in a convent of that place. The Mayor managed his visit so he found time to call on Sister Mary Barbara of the Villa de Chantel, Chantal.
   “I had not seen Sister Mary Barbara for over fifty years,” said the mayor. “We were children together in Woburn, Mass., where our families were neighbors, and I recall her as Catherine Coughlin. . . . ”
