Hepburn, Miss Clara Marks, ! lArthur Marks, and Miss (Irace Lowe ar* the only survivors. Mr. Hepburn states that he saw the lights of the approaching tug. and thinking that it was bound j straight down the river, turned to J the east. When nearly abreast of i the launch, the tug suddenly turned \ to the east in order to make tlw dock at Ironville, and before the launch could get out of the way it j was struck by the tug and turned j over and suiilt, about 100 feet from the dock. Mr. Hepburn caught hold of the j side vf the tug and the Lowe girl grasped his leg and both were pulled j on the tug. The Marks girl was j picked up from a cushion on which she floated. Arthur Marks was fortu- \ nate enough to grab a piece of wreck- 112 age and was picked up by those on ; the tug. The other seven members . of the party were drowned and the j river is now being dragged for their bodies, but they will probably not oe recovered before daylight. The tug brought the rescued to this ' city. .Mr. Hepburn was not able to I give the names of the drowned and their companions who were saved I were not able to talk before being j taken home. Capt. \1 Fitts was in charge of the | tug and says that the launch showed j no lights and that he was not aware - of its presence until the tug struck ; her.

THE TRUST'S METHODS. hL Louis ileal Dealers Testify n» to rrlcc» ami Kebates. Jefferson City, Mo., May 8. —The existence in St. Louis of uniform and fixed meat jiriees and the secret re bate in addition to the C. 0. D. list was shown by testimony taken at yesterday's session of the beef trust inquiry. Maurice Prendiville, a St. Louis dealer, was the lirst witness exam ined. Prendiville testified that Ar mour, Swift, Nelson Morris and Cuda hy had a fixed agreement regarding prices. "The packers buy cattle on successive days," said he, "so that each can buy at his own price. There is very little independent buying in the stock yards. The big packers keep others out by telling the cat tlemen that if they sell any cattle to the independent buyers, they must sell all to them. "The ordinary retail butches can not get high class beef. The best beef is sold to butchers at It cents on the carcasses." "Did you ever get a rebate?" was asked of Prendiville. "Four or five months ago I got re bates on pork from Nelson Morris. At one time tlie cooler managers told me that they had an agreement not to sell at less than $G per hundred. They would evade the agreement by selling some cents lower." "Is there an arbitrator ir, St. Louis?" asked Attorney General Crow. "The cooler managers meet every Wednesday .afternoon and form a C. 0. D. list, and on Saturday an other meeting is held. 1 do not know who fixes the prices for them, but they are fixed the last of each week for the week following. When a man does not sell his cattle in East St. Louis, and ships them elsewhere, the 1 packers send a dispatch ahead of ! him, instructing the buyers to offer only so much." William Tainme, of St. Louis, for merly city salesman for Swift, testi fied to a uniform price at which salesmen of all companies were in structed to sell. Attorney Ernst C. i Dodge has charge of the <). I), list, which is made up every week, the witness declared. Tainme said that the increased price of meat was out of proportion to the increase in the price of cattle, lie said 100 butchers in St. Louis had gone out of busi ness. At the afternoon session several of the witnesses told of the sale of condemned meats, some of which was made into sausage. T. '/. Wertz was the last witness, lie was formerly manager of a branch house at Topeka, Kan. He told of the existence rif a combine be tween the various packing com panies to fix the price of meats; and related the incident by which he lost his position, because he sold lard at half a cent less per pound than the combine price. A WONDERFUL GUN. A Norwegian's Invention Will Create u (>rral Kevolutlon In Warfare. Berlin. May B.—Prof. K. Birkeland, the Norwegian physicist, has been in Berlin recently for the purpose of determining the powers of his elec tro-magnetic cannon before a num ber of experts in electrical artillery. The results of the demonstration have been so convincing that a firm of artillery manufacturers has of fered to buy the invention for imme diate exploitation, provided Prof. Birkeland will increase the length of thi' piece used in the trials so that it will throw a projectile weighing two tons a distance of 12 miles. Theoretically, the device can throw a projectile weighing two tons a dis tance of 00 miles, or even further, by sufficiently prolonging the tube. The principle upon which the new gun acts has not been made public, but it is known that the projectile is ex pelled from, an ordinary cast iron tube thickly wrapped with copper wire. This tube can, of course, be made more cheaply than the cannon now in use. No explosive gases result from the discharge of the new gun. Prof. Tiirkelanfs invention has stirred up great interest among tech nical observers, some of whom are of the opinion that it signifies a greater revolution in fighting material than that brought about by the discovery of gunpowder.

Dube, of W'atortown, Miifis. .formerly sergeant in Company A, Twenty-sixth volunteer infantry, testified before the Philippines committee yesterday. Sergeant Dube said that while do ing duty at Jaro, in the island of ran ay, he conveyed a native, appar ently of wealth and education, to the house of Lieut. Conger, where the lieutenant, Maj. Glenn anil three priv ates administered the water cure, ap parently without any cause, The witness described the burning of houses during a march across Panay and told of the act of their native guide in cutting off the head of a Filipino with a bolo, before the troops could get him to surrender. Sergeant (Manning placed the first occasion he had seen the water cure administered at Leon, island of Pa nay. He said some Filipinos were supposed to have knowledge of the murder of Private O'Hearn. and C'apt. •Gregg ordered witness und the men under him to apply the water cure to them. ( apt. Gregg instructed him to be careful not to "abuse" the prisoners. Answering Senator Dietrich, the witness said there was no doubt of the guilt of the parties, and when asked by Senator Culberson to ex plain why they were not tried, said that before they could be brought to trial they endeavored to escape, with the result that nine of them were killed, two escaped, and the others were released. He had not, he said, witnessed the water cure given to any but these. In the summer of 1900, he had, he said, witnessed the burning of several bar rieos by United States soldiers. The houses were supposed to be insur gent quarters. He also had seen in stances of burning on the part of the insurgents. lie was closely pressed by Senators Culberson and Rawlins for informa tion tending to show that it was the general understanding in the army that the water cure was to be ap plied wherever information was sought to be secured, but the witness declared that no such rule obtained in his company, MURDER AND SUICIDE. I'nul I<eiee«ter Kuril, the Novell"!, la Shot and Killed by III* llrother, Who 'l'lieii Kills 111moeIt. New York, May 9.—Paul Leicester Ford, the novelist, was shot yester day by his brother, Malcolm Ford, writer and athlete, who immediately sent a bullet into his own breast, (ly ing instantly. The shooting occurred at 10:20 a. m.in the handsome new mansion which Paul Leicester Ford had built at 37 Fast Seventy-seventh street. The novelist was sitting :tt his desk in one corner of his library. It is supposed he was busily engaged at some literary task. Miss Hall, his secretary, was at her desk in another corner of (he room, about .'io feet from Mr. Ford. Mrs. Ford was in her room at (he front of th-. - house on the third floor. Malcolm \V. Ford called, as he often had done, and went to his brother at his desk. Words were exchanged in a tone so low thai Miss Hall could not hear what was said, though she says that possibly she might have distinguished the words if she had been paying any attention to this particular meeting of the brothers. Suddenly there was a re volver shot, and Miss Hall, jumping up, darted from the room. Meanwhile Malcolm Ford had called her. As she returned to the room, he placed his revolver to his heart, fired and fell, dying instantly. When Miss Hall turned to look at Paul, he was still standing at his desk, but rapidly losing strength. She helped him to a sofa and then ran next door for Paul Ford's physician, Dr. Emanui'l I'araueh. In less than five minutes Dr. Baraueh arrived, and the dying man. still conscious, was car ried up to his room, beside his wife's, and placed on his bed. He spoke to his wife, anil asked the doctor for his opinion, showing that he expected death and was going to meet it calm ly and bravely. A BAD ACCIDENT.
