FERRY'S NEW
EQUIPMENT
Tho now trolloys along with a new
carrier were installed at tho ferry Sat
urday to take the place of a similar
appliance which hroko down and was
temporarily repaired justono week bo
/ fore. Tho wheels, larger than the old,
cover fifty-four inches at every revolu
tion. The wooden frame which sup
ports them is five feet long and heavy
iu proportiou. Not only do tho new
trolleys add to the strength and dura
bility of the ferry hut they percepti
bl.v accelerate tho motion of the boat.
The appliauco was installed on tho
high cable Saturday forenoon and re
quired the united efforts ot several
mon. In order to interfere with trathe
as little as possible it was placed in
position and everything gotten in
readiness for connecting it with the
boat before tho lorry was stopped.
To add still further to the security
of things a large portion of the hemp
rope wliioli holds the ferry was cut
out and a half inch cable substituted
The iron pulleys on tho boat are very
hard on hemp rope especially during
wet weather; the one in use was
peroeptibly worn and it was a ques
tion whether it would prove equal to
the straiu much longer. The cable now
covers the windlass, passes through
each of the iron pulleys on tho llat
and oxtends up toward tho trolley ca
ble for about thirty-five foet.
It was the insertion of this cable
that added so much to the tediousness
and the difficulty of connecting the
terry with the trolley frame. Tho
whole .job was very satisfactorily ac
complished, however, with the IOBS of
only an hour and a halt.
The ferry now is splendidly equip
ped, perteotly safe in every respect.
The carrier is furnished with three
automatic oilers, one for each wheel
and the other to oil the cable. With
tho new trolloys in use tho ferry Sat
urday mado the trip from shoro to
shore in less than five minutes' time.

IAL ELECTION
Our Borough Fathers have become
convinced that it will be necessary to
hold a special election before they can
proceed with all tho municipal im
provements contemplated.
This olection will probably be held
within thirty days. It must bo adver
tised for a period of four weeks.
Our Gonnoiimeu declare they outer
tain no fears as to the result of the
olection. It is a demonstrated fact,
they say, that tho Borough can manu
facture its own electricity, light
streets more effectively and accomplish
a saving thereby and notwithstanding
tho apparent first cost, they boliovo
the people are with them and that
when tho proposition is left to a vote
the expression will be much tho same
as when tho former election was held.
Tho proposed election revivos inter

held for the same purpose. That elec

1801). The people woro in favor of

themselves in no uncertain tones. Al

PURCHASED A
NAPHTHA LAHNCH
Georgo Hullihon, who belongs to the
crew at the Water Works, has purchas
ed a naphtha launch of William Rliawu
of Oatawis-ia. It is a graceful little
craft and a perfect flyer. With Mr.
Hullilien's little boat in commission
Danville can again boast of four naph
tha launches.
The river presents a fine field for
boating this summer. At no time has
the stream fallon to a point that would
make it difficult to navigate the
launches. Up to the present there has
been no indication of drought and it
seems likely that this season may bo
much liko last summer and that tho
river will not, fall much below its
present mark.
Mr. flu Hilton of courso will use his
launch in transportiug people back
wards and forwards over the. river,
but he expects to find a much wider
field for it in taking out pleasuro part

just at this . easoh proves most delight
ful and no douot if the ratos woro fix

sort would become very popular. Such
is tho view that Mr. Hullihen takes

DIVISION CARRIED
UNANIMOUSLY
The question of the division of tho
diocese of Central Pennsylvania, the
most important matter before the Ep
iscopal diocesan convention, was
speedily disposed of this morning.
The oommittoe reported in favor of
the division suggested by Bishop Tal
bot, and when tho voto was taken,div
ision carried unanimously. This means
that a new diocese will bo formed of
the western portion, consisting of
Harrisburg and Williauisport. The
arch dcacouries of Scranton and Head
ing remain in the old diocese.
The matter of the division of the
diocese hail been made a spocial order
at 10:230 o'clock. At that time the
report of tho committee was read. The
committee unanimously favored tlm
division and suggested in its report
that the now dioneso should embraco
the archdeaconries of Williauisport
and Harrisburg, including tho follow
ing counties: Potter, Tioga, Clinton,
Lycoming, Sullivan, Centre, Union,
Northumberland, Montour, Columbia,
Blair, Huntingdon, Mifflin, Snydor,
Juniata Perry, Cumberland, Dauphin,
Bedford, Fulton, Franklin, Adams,
York and Lancaster.
Tho report also included resolutions
providing that the episcopal endow
ment should be divided between tho
two new dioceses each receiving that
portion that had been subscribed by
communicants of tho parishes within
its borders. Provision was also made
for committees of five members in
each of the dioceses to tako such ac
tion in the matter as might bo noces
sary iu tho completion of the division,
iu case it can bo accomplished before
tho meeting next year.
The expected discussion of tho re
port of the committee did not mater
ialize. There were several speeches,
and one amendment was offered chang
ing Laucastor from tho new to tho
old; but tho amendment was lost and
a voto called for. Because of tho fact
that several delegates did not know
that the original question was being
put, two votes were taken. The first
time there were but a few scattering
"noes," and the second timo it was
u nan i niously carried. Willi amsport

HUNDREDS PERISHED
BY FIRE AND WATER
ON AN EXCURSION STEAHER NEAR NEW YORK
YESTERDAY--HORRIBLE SCENES FOLLOW
ED ALARM OF FIRE ON VESSEL—FULLY
FIVE HUNDRED LOST THEIR LIVES.
NEW YORK, June 15,—The steamship Gcnoral Slocum, carrying tho
Sunday school excursion of St. Mark's Uormau Lutheran Church, caught (ire
in tho East River oil Hell Qato this morning and was burnod to tho water's
edge, about five hundred persons perishing.
Persons oil tug boats say that several hundred bodies liavo been washed
ashore or towed or carried in boats to the shore of North Brothers' Island,
Almost every other woman who was takou away was calling for her children.
The disaster was witnes-ed by thousands of people from both shores of
tho river, and as rapidly as possible hundreds of small boats and launches set
off to render assistance. With the boat burning under his feet the captain
stuck to his post in the pilot house, and tho ongiueor remained at his post be
low decks until tho boat was beached at tho lowor end of North Brothers' Is
land off Port Morris.
BOAT WAS A FIERY FURNACK.
Evon thou tho passengers woro not
in it safo position as tliey woro some
distance from shore and the boat was
a fiery furnace. Hundreds of small
boats woro scattorod about, and picked
up those who jumped overboard as
rapidly as possible. It is estimated
that between 400 and 500 people jump
ed into the water.
An oyo witness said that the great
est loss of lite was due to the collap
sing of the heavy upper deck. It fell
with a crash soon after the lire start
ed, crushing hundreds of persons who
had gathered on tlio lower deck.
It was thou that the gieatest panic
ensued amid tlio living stream of per
sons going ovor tlio rail into the wat
er. As far as eyo witnesses can de
termine the flames originated on the
forward part of tho boat. Persous that
saw the flumes from the shore say that
almost instantly persons who occupied
places on tho forward deck began to
jump overboard. Policemen in tho
Bronx saw the blazing boat steaming
up the river and immediately began to
turn in an alarm for ambulances and
fire boats.
MANY CHILDREN DROWNED.
All the boats at North Brothers'
Island wore sent to tho assistance of
"tho poople in tho water, and as fast as
tlioy were brought wore cared
for in the pavilions there.
ine patients in riio iiosj itals on the
island became almost insane from
fright at tho terrible scenes they had
witnessed.
A large part of the crowd on the
doomed steamer wore children and
thero was little hope for thorn after
they bad gone overboard. Tlio curront
in tho East ltiver at this point is v°iy
strong and scores ui little ones were
sucked in by tho whirlpools at Hell
Gate. Ono man, who went out in a
row boat, said that be saw at loast
fifty children perish in theso whirl
pools before lie could reach-them.
Ail eye-witness who saw much of
what happened to the boat, said:
"Tho steamer's whistle was blowiug
for assistance as she camo up the riv
er. I saw several persons jump into
tho water before she was headed for
the northwest shore of North Brothers
Island. Her position in tho water made
it impossible for those aboard of her
to reach land except by swimming. 1
saw perhaps fifty or a hundred por
sons, mostly women and children,
jump overboard. Most of the throng
was on tlm hurricane dock when we
plainly saw a portion of it collapse.
Many must liavo been killed instant
ly."
NINETY PHYSICIANS NEEDED.
Superintendent Rickard, of Bel
lovue hospital, sent word to tho ollic
ials of the institution on Ward's Island
to send all tho doctors tlioy could spare
to tho scene and ninety physicians
I were sent. The Chaiities department
has dispatched its two boats to tho
It was impossible to run tho boat
ashore because of the Hell Gate rocks
on either side and tho captain kept
her headed for North Brothers' Island.
Nothing could bo done in the way of
launching boats and a.; the flames ad

overboard. They went into tho river
by hundreds.
The Gcyn ral Slocnm was bound for
Locust Grove, beyond Flushing, L. I,
and had over J,OOO poop'o on board,
mostly children. The latest report is I
that at loast 500 have been burned. j

Juno 9, 1(5, 213 and 30 are the next
dates for great coach excursions to St.
Louis via Pennsylvania Railroad, ac
count of tho Louisiana Purchase Ex
position. The rates for these excur
sions have been fixed at such a low
figure that thoy afford those of limit
ed means an opportunity of seeing tho
World's Fair at au exceptionally small
cost. The unusual success attending
the first Pennsylvania Railroad excur
sion indicates that these will bo very
popular.
Special trains of Staudard Pennsyl
vania Railroad coaches of tho most
modern pattern will be run on the
above-raentioued dates from New
York, Philadelphia, Harrisburg, Al
toona and Pittsburg, directly through
to St. Louis, with amplo stops for
meals at convonieut hours. Each train
will bo in charge of a Tourist Agent
of the Pennsylvania Railroad. The
rates will bo the samo as for the first
excursion, May 10, S2O from New
York, $18.60 from Philadelphia, and
proportionate rates from other sta- I
tious.
Specific information regarding time
of spocial traiu and connections and
rates from principal stations east of
Pittsburg, will bo announced shortly

Paw Paw seems to digest everything
