"Wheeling, May 7. At 5:30 o'clock this
evening, while the naptha yacht Gertrude
ra crossing the Ohio river from Wheeling
Island with 14 male and two female passen
gers, returning from the baseball park, the
dress of Mrs. John Mendel jammed the
tiller rope in a brass block and the yacht
became unmanageable. It struck the upper
end of a barge moored at the wharf and cap
sired, throwing all the occupants into the
rirer. The two ladies and ten of the men
were rescued promptly, as they were not
carried under the barge by the current, Mrs.
Hornbrook, however, having a very narrow
escape. The others fared worse. Mr. Mc
raughlin, Architect E. AV. Wells, D. A.
Brooks, of the Wheeling Mining and Man
ufacturing Company, and Mr. English,
secretary of the baseball association, were
carried under the barge. Mr. Wells was
drowned and the other three were uncon
scious when rescued and were in the last
stages of exhaustion. McLaughlin and En
glish being revived with great difficulty.
So much excitement prevailed at the mo
ment of the accident and lor an hour alter
ward that it was impossible to get at the
tacts, and the whan' was soon crowded
about the locality of the accident with peo
ple, among whom the most sensational
rumors as to the loss of liie were rife. By
many it was asserted that Mr. Wells bad
been saved, but careful inquiry confirmed
the report of his death. He was a member
of the firm of Kltevis, Kraft & Co., and an
architect of great promise, havine already
done good work in'Wheehng and in West
Virginia and Ohio towns. Three members
of the baseball team, Lytle, White and
Bawyer, were in the yacht at tne time of
the accident.
A later dispatch says three other men un
known are still unaccounted for. bui are
thonght to have escaped. It is possible that
the list ot drowned will grow, however, as
few of those missing are known.

be the results of the commissson's decisions

Mr. Holliday thought the site on Da

all the advantages of the Bedford avenue
site without any of the disadvantages, and
seemed to favor that above all other down
town sites. The general impression seemed
to prevail that a large tract for the down
town library would be required, and that
either the Bedford avenue or the Duqnesne
way sites were the most available for that
reason.
The board will not onlv examine the
Bedford avenue site, but will go to Herron

afternoon to examine the sites in those
localities.
WHAT THE ARTISTS bAT.
HOW
THE CARNEGIE GALLERY
BENEFIT PITTSBURG MEN.
WILL
Struggling Palnteia May Find Recognition
Through It Amerlcnn Plctnrea Would
Sell More Readily Views From a Busi
ness and Art fetnndpolnt.
Mr. Carnegie's proposition to establish an
art gallery in Pittsburg, and to give (50,000
a year for tbe purchase of American pictures
exclusively, meets with the general ap
proval of the local artists. Their opinion is
unanimous that such a museum is needed,
bnt they differ as to the effect such an in
stitution will have on Yankee art John
W. Beatty, the well-known artist, when
asked for his opinion, said:
'Mr. Carnegie's offer to found a national
art gallery in Pittsburg, which shall repre1,
sent American art, is so large in conception
and magnificent in the result to be obtained
that it is difficult even to comprehend the
full measure ot his liberal plan. It tran
scends all local interest and thought and
becomes national in importance. In fact
the good people of Pittsburg are repeatedly
enjoying the delightful sensation of having
their wildest hopes in regard to a library
and art gallery utterly eclipsed by the act
ual plans formulated by Mr. Carnegie.
This proposition is in eclipse. It means
that American art snail De estimated at Its
exact value, as represented in a compre
hensive collection of representative works
in America.
TO BE A NATIONAL COLLECTION.
"It means that a force which has been
scattered and largely lost shall be centered
and therefore felt. The conception is n
grand one. It will give the Pittsburg Art
Gallery a prominence which it could never
otherwise attain, because the collection will
be distinct in its character, as representing
tbe national art movement, and the only
one of its kind in the United States. It
will, in fact, be a national collection, and
wiil be so considered throughout the art
world. The effect of the establishment of
such a collection will be to stimulate inter
est in American paintings and otherwise
encourage American art
We cannot have too many good paintings,
and it mut be placed to the credit of
American artists that they are almost unani
mously in favor of the repeal of all duty on
foreign paintings, and have petitioned Con
gress to this effect
MAN! INFEBIOB PBODUCTIONS.
"It is equally well known that with the
good works there comes an overwhelming
flood of very inferior paintings and that
many dealers find it to their pecuniary ad
vantage to seli the poor ones. They can
make more money on bad foreign art than
they can on good American works. It is
obvious, therelore, that if distinctly Amer
ican art is to be exalted it must be exalted
by some one who is not a picture dealer
and who is not interested in handling for
eign paintings. That such a collection
will do much to establish the importance of
our national art cannot be doubted. The
educational influence of such a collection
upon our own community will be very
great The pleasure derived by all classes
is beyond computation and I know that tbe
art loving people of Pittsburg will so highl
appreciate such a gift to our citv that they
will forever hold Mr. Carnegie in the kind
est remembrance."
A CROWN TO CAENEGIE'S GIFTS.
Mr. Joseph Woodwell, who has become a
hardware man, but has not entifely deserted
his studio, was one of the first men ap
proached. He has very keen artistic tastes,
as well as good business ideas, and he can
vasses the subject from a number of stand
points. He thinks, to begin with, the time
bad come long ago when the tariff idea
should be applied to works of art In de
tail he said:
"This last proposition of Mr. Carnegie's
to build an art gallery is the crown
ing one of his munificent gifts,
and his plan to limit tbe
collection of .works of American painters is
excellent While I do not detract from the
merits ot foreign pictures, for Europe has
many great artists, Americans should pro
tect their own and patronize home talent
At least foster and encourage ntt studies by
displaying a willingness to help them. Art
ists, like other people, must eat, and they
need money to buy bread and butter. This
Pittsburg gallery will create a market
Every American artist will know, if a com
petent art committee is selected, that if he
makes a strictly first-class picture there is a
place where he can sell it, and where its ex
hibition will add to his credit. v
LIKE THE PABIS SALON.
"It will be an honor to him, and in time
the Pittsburg gallery is bound to become
famous like tbe Pans salon. This city has
the wealth and the intelligent people, and it
should have a reputation for something else
beside pig metal. If such a gallery were
located here, with the annnal expenditure of
550,000 per year, it would soon become a
strong exponent of American art, and
painters would realize that a picture in the
Pittsburg gallery would make it easier for
him to sell his works to the 'Chicago and
Milwaukee interests.
"But the people of Pittsburg are awaken
ing on tbe subject of art. Within the past
18 mouths many people have called on me
to get my opinion about pictures, and many
of them have purchased. I think I have
been responsible lor the picture sales in
this city in that time amounting to $100,000,
and the fact is that this is as much as had
been done here for 20 years previous. This
shows that tbe people are interested and
their judgment has improved. The Ameri
can artis who expects to sell pictures in
Pittsburg iu the future must be high up in
bis profession. The exhibition in the Alle
gheny library was of great -value in culti
vating taste. The gentlemen who bad fur
nished the pictures took pride iu doing so,
and the public was delighted.
A REVELATION TO THEM.
More than 30,000 people inspected the col
lection, and many of them went back a sec
ond and third time. It was a revelation to
those who hadn't secu works of art before.
One can buy books, but pictures cost too
much, and no city is complete without a
good art gallery. I am glad to see
that Mr. Carnegie is so much interested. If
I were a wealthy man, I don't know of, a
better way in which to spend money where
it would do tbe most good than by establish
ing an srt museum."
George Hetzel said: "Pittsburg has done
less for art and artists than any other city in
the United States. I have often wondered
why these two cities with a population of
more than 200,000 didn't have an art gal
lery. Plenty oi cities of only half the size
of Pittsburg have them, and there is no rea
son why this city should be so far behind.
I But I am glad to see the peo
ple developing a taste for paintings.
The sales of pictures here within the past
two years shows that art culture is gaining
ground. The greatest artists up to date are
in Europe, but I haven't any doubt that we
could leave them it American artists were
encouraged. This plan of Mr. Carnegie to
create a gallery for American pictures is
along the right line.
AMERICAN ABTISTS HAVE SUPFEBED.
The craze for things foreign has been car
ried too far, and the home artists in par.
ticular hava suffered. There is a good deal
in a name. It is not the merits ot a picture J
out tne name in tne corner mat fixes
the name these days. I think thai
many of the foreigners have succeeded in
having themselves boosted when they don't
have as much ability as some American
artists. The picture dealers in New York
won't handle one's pictures unless they
know him. My opinion is that the foreign
pictures brought to Pittsburg are tbe ones
that couldn't be sold in Europe
and the East, though v I must
say that some meritorious foreign
paintings nave been purchased here. But
Pittsburgers can't be deceived any longer.
Their tastes have been cultivated and they
demand the best. The Hew York dealers
are learning this fact.
"Indirectly Mr. Carnegie's gallery would
help the home painters. It would educate
the people, and those who enjoyed seeing
the pictures in the museum would long to
have them near them, and they would buy
from the artists."
CENTERS OF POPULATION.
WHY THE MAIN BUILDING IS TO BE EAST
OF THE OLD CITY.
What n Dferiilinn Line Drawn Across Her
ron IJI1I Shows Hove Pittsburg Ho
sembles New York A Trnsteo Who Is
Up on Population Questions.
It was ascertained at the Tuesday's con
ference between Mr. Carnegie and the gen
tlemen from Councils, a strong showing of
tbe reasons why Pittsburg's inhabitants
need a library in their midst instead of in
midst of their warehouses and daylight
avocations, was made by a gentleman pres
ent. The substance of his interesting re
marks is given as follows:
"Draw a meridian line on the top of Her
ron Hill, and you will be surprised at the
preponderance of population uoon the east,
really massed more beyond East Liberty's
center than at any part of the city. I will
take you gentlemen five miles from here, and
prove to you thatFrankstown contains more
popnlation to the square foot than any other
portion of Pittsburg. The car lines 'which
radiate from Pittsburg's center in every di
rection are now being operated to bring the
citizens to business, and their families to the
business stores, and to take them to their
homes again. I predict that in ten years
hence Pittsburg s fashionable and best at
tended opera house will be in East
Liberty. Allegheny will also have an
opera house, and the after-night popu
lation of Pittsburg will consist of the
watchman who guards your warehouse and
such unfortunates who are compelled to
work at night.
"New York is a parallel case. All the
surface and elevated roads center either at
the Battery or City Hall, but no one,unless
desirous of being esteemed crazy would
build an opera houBe below Union square.
The magnificent Metropolitan Museum and
the new Conservatory of Music are located
in the midst of the population, not in the
midst of the business world. Pittsburg is
destined to be a great city, and the future
should be discounted in the Library mat
ter." THE REVISED DIRECTORY.

U"0T A GOOD LOCATION.
Chief Bleelow's Opinion of tbe Bedford
Avenue Reservoir Site.
Mr. Bigelow, Chief of the Department of
Public "Works, deprecates the location of
the Carnegie Library and Music Hall on
the Bedford avenue reservoir property. He
said: "I am perfectly satisfied to see the
city donate land for such a purpose, but I
do not think the Bedford avenue site is
suitable for such a purpose. It is difficult
to reach, owing to the steepness of the
streets, and is not a central locality. It
would be a good place to erect a monument,
as the location is a conspicuous one. I think
we ought to remember that in other cities,
New York, for instance, it has been found
advisable to go several miles from the busi
ness center of the city to find sites for insti
tutions oi this character."
Chief Elliott, of the. Department of Pub
lic Charities, remarked, "It's a very airy
place."
Some people who have propertr to sell on
Bedford avenue advanced prices 10 per cent
yesterday on the talk that the Carnegie Li
brary would be located on that thoroughfare.

AIL ABOUT A BILL OF GOODS.
Terence Daly Held for a nearlne; on a
Chares of Larceny by Bailer.
Yesterday before Alderman Bichards
Sam Lee, a Chinaman from Scottdale,
charged Terence Daly, the upcelestially
named owner of a Chinese specialty store at
48 Fourth avenne, with larceny by bailee
and assault and battery. Sam Lee stated
that on April 21 he bought goods
from Daly and paid 58 10, the
price thereof. The goods were to be
shipped to Scottdale, but time wore on
and no goods came to Sam Lee. Sam con
cluded that he ought to look them up, and
came to Pittsburg.
Py refused to give up the goods until a
bill, which it is alleged Sam's brother owed
him, was paid. A dispute, followed by a
fight ensued. Lee was hit on the eye and
and knocked down; hence the action against
Daly, who was yesterday arrested and held
in $800 bail for a hearing on Monday.
