BOILER GAVE WAY.
Many Peopl3 Killed in a Steam
boat Disaster.
The Steamer t'lty ol'Trenton la Wreck
e<l on Ibe Delaware Hlver Near
Torreadale, Fn.-More Xlian IU
Persona Injured and Four
Passengers Are missing.
Philadelphia, Aug. 29.—While the
Steamer City of Trenton, of the Wil
mington Steamboat Co., was on her
■way from this city to Trenton, X. J.,
Wednesday afternoon, her port boiler
exploded, killing seven persons and
injuring' over a score of others. Four
passengers are missing, but as many
.sustained slight injuries, it is thought
the missing may be among those who
did not find it necessary togo to the
hospital. The dead are:
J. I). Chew, assistant engineer.
.Miss Elizabeth Green, Philadelphia.
Two firemen, names unknown.
One deckhand, name unknown.
Two passengers, names unknown.
Missing: Mrs, John Matthews, Phil
adelphia.
Mrs. Matt Lncross, Philadelphia.
Two children who were seen to
,|) overboard.
Late last night two additional
"bodies were recovered from the
wreck of the steamer and were
Ibrought to the morgue in this city. At
midnight, the city police, who are
•searching the liver, caught the body
of a boy 011 their grappling irons in
the channel of the river where the
explosion occurred. This makes a
total of ten lives lost by the accident.
A half hour after the body of the
boy was recovered the grapplers
came across the eleventh victim, that
lof a middleaged an.
After the explosion the boat took
fire and ran aground. She now lies
a wrecked and blackened hulk in the
marshes opposite Torresdale, 15 miles
above this city. Her hold is filled
•with water, and it is feared that
more of her passengers and crew may
be found in the bottom of the boat
when the water is pumped out.
The City of Trenton made daily
trips between Philadelphia and Tren
ton. stopping at Burlington, X. J.,
Bristol, Pa., and other points on the
•way. She left the company's wharf
ut 1:45 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
13 minutes behind her schedule time.
Xothing of moment occurred until
the boat reached Torresdale. At a
point opposite what is known as the
Harrison mansion, a spacious build
ing fronting the Delaware river at
this suburban resort, the steam pipe
connecting with the port boiler burst.
The forward portion of the upper
<leck was well tilled with passengers,
while many others were in the cabin.
Before any of the passengers or
employes had an opportunity of seek
ing places of safety another explosion
occurred and tnis time the port boiler
was rent in twain. Scalding steam
and water poured into the cabin, and
sections of the woodwork of the
boat were torn away by the force
of the explosion. Those of the pas
sengers who were not injured by the
scalding- steam and boiling water were
struck by the flying portions of the
splintered cabin.
Legs and arms were broken and
faces and bodies were parboiled. The
screams of the injured could be heard
on shore and the cries of those who
leaped and were blown into the river
were heartrending. So great was
the force of the explosion that a
piano in the upper drawing room of
the boat was hurled many feet away
from the boat into the river.
When the explosions occurred Mate
Vanderver and Pilot Curry were in
the pilot house. Both were hurled
with terrific force from the little en
closure, and the wheel on the star
board side refused to work, while
that on the port side, for some un
accountable reason, began revolving
with lightning-like rapidity. As a
result of this the rudder turned the
bow of the boat towards shore and
she quickly ran aground, fastening
herself in the mud.
liy this time the vessel had caught
fire and those of the passengers who
wece still aboard were compelled to
leap for their lives. Fortunately
the water was not more than four
feet deeji and many victims of the
•disaster were able to wade ashore.
Some, however, who were too seri
ously injured to help themselves,
were rescued by members of the
boat clubs whose houses line the riv
er front at this point. The captain
and crew of the boat conducted them
selves as heroes. They rendered all
the assistance possible to the injured
and ('apt. Werrall was the last man
to leave the boat.
Philadelphia, Aug. 30.—1t developed
yesterday that the result of the ex
plosion of the boiler on tlie steamer
City of Trenton, while on her way up
the Delaware river from this city to
Trenton, X. J.. Wednesday afternoon,
•was more appalling than was at first
supposed. Nine persons are known
positively to be dead, at least 19 are
missing, most of whom are believed
to have been on the steamer, and two
of the injured still in the hospital
■will probably die.
As to the exact cause of the explo
sion nothing is yet known, but a rigid
(investigation is to be conducted at
once. Fire Marshal Lat timer, Coro
ner Dugan, the police department and
the United States boiler inspectors
•for this district will each carry oil an
Independent investigation, but little
can be known until t.ve survivors have
been examined and a careful inspec
tion of the wrecked steamer shall
have been made.

Cleveland, Aug. 29.—General orders
issued from the national headquar
ters of the Grand Army in St. Louis a
few days ago give full information on j
points connected with the national j
encampment of the Grand Army to
be held in this city. Commander-in-
Chief Rassieuf has named the com

Among the amendments to the
rules and regulations to be offered
during the encampment is one sub
mitted by the Department of Arkan
sas to insert the word "voluntarily"
in the clause debarring from mem
bership any who have ever borne
arms against the United States. This
is to open the doors to loyal men who
were impressed into service in tli3
Confederate army, but who after
wards escaped to the Union lines and
fought for the flag.
Beautiful cards of invitation have
been issued by the Ladies of the
Grand Army to a reception to be

Republicans of Nebraska, instate
convention yesterday, after a niglit of
conflict and a morning of uncertain
ty, nominated the above ticket, adopt
ed a platform in harmony with party
policies and made a new record for
industry in the disposal of business.
The action of Gov. Savage in parol
ing from the penitentiary ex-State
Treasurer Joseph S. Hartley, fur
nished the only real excitement of
the convention.
Supporters of the governor suc
ceeded in having all resolutions re
ferred to a committee without debate
and the committee in return reported
against parole and while not impugn
ing the motives of the governor, de
manded the return of the ex-treasur
er to the penitentiary, and was sus
tained.
The final chapter of the release of
ex-State Treasurer Hartley came late
last evening when Gov. Savage, fol
lowing the action of the republican
state convention, cancelled the parole
of the ex-treasurer, surrendered him
to the sheriff of the county and or
dered his return to prison.
The governor said he had intended
from tiie beginning to send Mr. Bart
ley back to prison at the expiration
of the 60-day parole, if he did not
comply with the conditions of his
release, which lie thus far had failed
to do. He simply hastened the ac
tion, he said, because public senti
ment seemed to demand it.

Pittsburg, Aug. 28.—President Shaf
fer has sent out letters to all mem
bers of the executive committee of
the Amalgamated association invit
ing their approval of the peace plan
agreed upon last Saturday by the
representatives of the National Civic
Federation and the Amalgamated as
sociation officials.
First, that the New York offer of
July 27, made by Messrs. Schwab and
Morgan, be accepted. This provid
ed that the tin plate mills resume un
der the scale signed for the year be
ginning July 1; that the hoop com
pany sign for all mills signed for
last year, and that the sheet steel
company sign for all mills signed for
last year, except Old Meadow and
Saltsburg.
Second, that a provisional scale lie
arranged, but not signed, for Paint
er's, Lindsay <Sr MeCuteheon's, and
the Clark mill, leaving recognition of
the union open. 1
Third, that the United States Steel
Corporation formally declare its atti
tude toward organized labor, this
declaration to take such form as will
have a reassuring effect upon the
men in the mills.
President Shaffer assented to these
propositions anil is now awaiting the
result of 11 vote by mail. If ap
proved the Civic Federation people
will endeavor to secure an audience
with the steel corporation officials in
New York.
The one place within this district
where the strikers have scored a vic
tory is at lrondale, O. At this place
the American Tin I'late Co. was com
pelled to close down its recently
opened plant for lack of men to
operate it.
The day was full of excitement in
the little village and street fights
came thick and fast for a time, until
the inhabitants were wrought into a
statp of excitement bordering on
terror.
When this failed a stronger argu
ment was used and the men were
given a drubbing and driven back to
their homes. The village had scarce
ly recovered from the surprise which
this attack occasioned when word
was passed around that a party of
new men were driving overland from
Wellsville. Almost all the strikers
at once started to meet the carriage
ana when they passed the mill office
Ira Householder, a non-union man,
shouted at them. This action pre
cipitated a tight. Manager Bantield
saved Householder by dragging him
inside and shutting the door.
The company tnen attempted to fila
information before Justice Paisley,
charging the strikers with riot, but
the justice refused to entertain the.
charge, saying lie would issue war
rants for those mixed in the fights,
charging assault, but 110 more serious
offense. The attorney then began the
preparation of papers to ask for an
injunction restraining the strikers
from interfering with non-unionists
in any way. All the men who have
been employed in the mill joined the
Amalgamated yesterday except Ira
Householder and James Hinman.
According to reports from the or
ganized tube workers who are strik
ing in sympathy with the Amalgamat
ed association, there is a lot of
trouble in store for them for the
hasty action they took in walking out
of the plants of the National Tube
Co. without the formality of submit
ting their cause to the general officers
of " the American Federation of
Labor. It has been discovered, so
the men say, that they have violated
the constitution of the federation,
which provides thai before going out
011 strike a local Mge receiving a
charter direct from the Federation of
Labor must submit a list of griev
ances to the executive council of the
federation for approval Failure to
do this cuts off the striking lodge
from all strike benefits from the fed
eration or from other allied trade
unions.
Most of the tube workers struck
without this formality having been
gone through with. To settle the
strike now, they hav» no general offi
cers to act for them, and only the
various lodge officers can act in mat
ters pertaining to peace.
Pittsburg, Aug. 29. —The steel cor
poration yesterday continued making
gains in this district and added
enough men to its force at the Star
plant to insure tne working of two
mills double turn, night and day,
from now 011. The management
•claims that the entire plant will be
011 full before the end of the week.
The strikers say this claim cannot
be made good, and is being made
merely as a bluff.
Notwithstanding the position taken
by the steel corporation as to a set
tlement, another arbitration was
launched last evening by Simon
Burns, president, of the Window (ilass
Workers' association. Mr. Burns
proposes an arbitration committee
selected from among such men as
Archbishop Ireland, Bishop Potter,
Setli Low and others of like promi
nence, who, after Having the entire
matter explained by both sides
to the controversy, shall have abso
lute authority to settle upon terms
of settlement. Their decision to be
final and accepted by both parties.
An Alleged $43,000 Forgery.
Havana, Aug. 29. —A man named
Vargas some time ago paid a check
for $43,000 into the Royal Bank of
Canada to his own credit. The Royal
Bank of Canada presented it for pay
ment to the Spanish bank, which im
mediately paid it. This occurred
August 3 Since that date the Royal
Bank of Canada has honored checks
against the original deposit until
only about SII,OOO remains to the
credit of Vargas. The Spanish bank
now says that the drawer of the
check declares it to be a forgery. Aa
interesting litigation is likely to en>
sue.

Recent statistics show that the
average expense of living in Xorway,
including the entire population, men,
women and children, is 160 kroner
per capita, or about $32 a year—9
cents per day.
The feudal system never existed
in Xorway. The peasants have al
ways maintained their right to ac
quire property, and have enjoyed
greater freedom than tin; same class
anywhere else in Europe. This has
prevented the accumulation of land
in large estates.
The oldest authentic specimen of
the bagpipe now in existence is be
lieved to be that now in possession
of Messrs. J. &. R. Glen, of Edin

Highland bag-pipe of the present
day, except that it wants the large

30 or 40 years. In consequence of
this commercial wealth there are no
taxes.
The entire area of Norway is about
124,000 square miles. Of this 64 per

SUMMER HATS FOR HORSES.
In the Opinion of Expert Veterlnnrl
miM They Do More llnrm
Tlinn Good.
Fantastic summer hats for horses
were never more prevalent than they
are to-day. There is a mistaken no
tion that they are a boon to the ani
mals. To jam this particular style
of headgear upon a horse's head, al
ready protected by a natural topnot,
is in most instances only making the
animal more susceptible to the lieat,
says the New York Mail and Ex
press.
According to the best veterinarians,
the spinal column is the part of the
anatomy most sensitive to the sun's
rays, and a horse with a light cover
ing over his back can work two hours
to the "hatted" horse's one. The av
evage horse would, in their opinion,
be a great deal better off in the sum
mer time if his considerate owner left
oft' protecting his head and simply
exercised the ordinary precaution ol
resting him now and then in the
shade.
Many men use the poorest sort ol
Judgment in the methods tliey employ
to relieve horses from heat. The So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals does not approve of the
sponge, because, in nine cases out of
ten, it is only dampened once in the
morning and for the rest of the day
absorbs the heat and centers it upon
the horse's head. To shower a horse,
and then allow the thick topknot to
dry out until it becomes a stiff shell
through which no air can permeate,
is of more injury to a horse in 30
minutes than if lie worked two hours
in the sun without any protection or
rest.
Farmers laugh at the two-storied
awnings, felt protectors and straw
hats which the city horses are made
to wear. They have found that the
exercise of a little common sense in
caring for a horse is worth a hun
dred artificial safeguards. It is very r
seldom one hears of prostrations
among farm horses, although they
work from day today in the open
field where the sun beats down
fiercely.
The hat fad has only been in ex
istence here since 1897, when it was
introduced from Paris. In the opin
ion of many it will pass away, as did
the ear tassels and fly nets so preva
lent in the early 'Bo's, and the trous
ers and overalls as protection from
flies and mosquitoes in 1875.
According to the best authorities,
the drivers of 25 and 30 years ago,
who stretched an awning from the
wagons to the horse's collars, had the
right principle for protection against
the heat. The horse's head was never
covered, and a prostration was then
the exeception and not the rule.

HOW TO CLEAN METALS.
Carfnl SuKxrutlona Which Should
find a Pronilnrnt I'lnee 111 the
Household Scrap Hook.
To clean brasses* quickly and eco
nomically, rub them well with vinegar
and salt of oxalic acid. Wash imme
diately after the rubbing and polish
with tripoli and sweet oil. Unless the
ocid is washed off the tiling' will
tarnish so quickly its last estate will
be worse than its first. Copper ket
tles and saucepans, brass andirons,
fenders, candle-sticks and trays are
best cleaned with vinegar and salt.
Cooking vessels in constant use need
only to be well washed afterward.
Things for show —even pots and pans
•—need the oil polishing, which gives
c deep, rich j-ellow luster good for
nix months. Oxalic acid and salt is
the thing for furniture brasses —if it
touches the wood around it only im
proves the tone. Wipe the brasses
well with a wet cloth and polish thor
oughly with oil and tripoli. Some
times powdered rotten stone does bet
ter than tripoli. Rub after using,
either with a dry cloth or leather, un
til there is no trace of oil. No matter
what sort of brass is to be cleaned it
must be freed completely from grease,
caked dirt and grime. Wash with
strong ammonia suds and rinse dry
before beginning with the acid and
salt.
The best treatment, for wrought
eteel, which has a knack of growing
gray, lusterless and ill-looking, is to
first wash it very clean with a stiff
brush and ammonia soap suds, rinse
well, dry, by heat if possible, then oil
plentifully with sweet oil and dust
thickly with powdered quicklime. Let
the lime stay on two days, then brush
it off with a clean, very stiff
brush. Polish with a softer brush and
rub with cloths until the luster comes
out. By leaving the lime on, iron and
steel may be kept from rust almost in
definitely.
Before wetting any sort of bric-a
brac, and especially bronzes, remove
oil the dust possible. The less dust
water finds about fine lines and cran
nies the less it can leave there. After
dusting, wash well in strong white
soap suds and ammonia, rinse clean,
polish with just a suspicion of oil and
rotten stone and rub off afterward
every trace of the oil. Never let acid
touch a bronze surface, unless to eat
and pit it for antique effects. —Emily
Hult, in St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Never before have fashionable la

are showing now. Though like their

charm of modern fashions, and as a

apecimen of the sartorial art.
It is light blue in color and, says
the New York Herald, silk is the
usual material of which it is fash
ioned. Over a long gown, which is
copiously ornamented with em
broidery and miniature paintings,
falls a loose wrapper, and beneath
this is a small jacket reaching to the
waist. Around the neck is a collar,
which is a distinctly European fea
ture, but, on the other hand, above
this is a headdress which is decidedly
Chinese and the latest invention of
a distinguished tailor in Peking.
Thus, while Chinese ladies of high
rank dress in some respects like
their European sisters, they still con
tinue to differ from them in some
very essential respects. It has been
conjectured that the reason may be
because tliey are determined not to
imitate them too closely, and that
this is why they are now wearing

THE GIRL PHILOSOPHER.
Fanning of the Sailor Hat Lead* He*
to ludalse In .Sundry Sentimen
tal Speeu Ist t ions.
"The saddest subject of the year it
the demise of the sailor hat," said the
girl philosopher as she removed a long
hatpin from her pancake straw, ornate
with polka-dot satin ribbon. "I won
der if there is a girl living who has not
a host of tingling memories associated
with the little round straw hat, sim
ple in its plain band of ber college col
ors?"
"Or his college colors," suggested
the sallow young woman, smoothing
out a long plume on her Gainsbor
ough.
"Or with the band pinned on by a
little brass emblem of the army," add-
IF THE OI.D SAILOR COULD TALK.
Ed the fluffy-haired girl, whose head
was adorned with a tilting rose gar
den.
They all three sighed in unison.
"Early in the season," began the
philosopher again, "the houses hand
ling correct sailor shapes boldly dec
orated their windows with the plain
hats. It gave me the blues to observe
these windows. It was like gazing at
the picture of a long-lost love. Parties
of girls down town for shopping or for
luncheon would give them a glance
only and hurry onto a millinery dis
play of brave feathers and lace. But
each girl, whether she selected a tailor
ish fedora, a golf hat, a shirt-waist hat
or white lace picture hat, must have
sent one melancholy thought back to
the sailor. For every girl who evei
held a tender thought for a certain
man remembers how he told her that
she should always wear a sailor, add
ing that a shirt waist and a sailor hat
were the prettiest articles of apparel
•ever worn by a woman. She must re
call what he said about the way her
hair blew out about her temples froin
beneath the hat and how it cast be
coming shadows in her eyes. llow
many pretty stories could the old
sailor tell of moonlight confidences aa
it lay modestly on the lower step of
the veranda! Por old hat!—how many
times has it been nearly drowned be
fore it was fished out of the w a tier by
a long boat-hook while two eager
young faces watched it bobble under
the jabs of the hook and two pretty
white hands at last shook it over the
side of the boat and laid it out-in the
sun to dry! How well it kept the secret
of the long walk in the shady path
leading from the galleried hotel to the
water's edge, when it was swung care
lessly at the side of its owner! Not
a hint did it ever give of the moment
it was transferred to the other hand
because the one which held it first was
wanted by some one. It even held its
peace demurely on the center tabl»
when mamma asked pointe«d questions
about the wearer's gl-jaming third
finger."
"The good old sailor," mourned the
fluffy-haired birl, glancing at her own
third finger. "It was always a mas
cot."
"Almost always," corrected the sal
low young woman, looking pensively
at her unadorned hand.
"Then," said the philosopher, "when
the summer grew tired and that round
straw hat was getting yellow with the
leaves, how bravely the sailor rode the
top wave of some girl's sun-bleached
hair as she went to market. And in
the cool evenings, along the broad ave
nues, what visions one got by the gleam
of a bicycle lamp of a laughing face
under a sailor hat!
"Poor old sailor hat! Its last sad
rites are being performed in the back
rooms of shops. Pine boards are be

Fails In Portrait Painting.
One of the newest fads in portrait
painting is to portray the fair sitter
under the shade of her parasol. She
must seat herself in a garden chair
and must hold her parasol over her
head, so that its shade falls upon her
face. None of her features is hid
den, but she is as under a becoming
canopy. A famous society painter of
England is making a specialty of
these portraits, having done one of
Princess Victoria and another of a
famous court beauty.
