EXPLOSION AT MINNETONKA.
Katie NIayExplOdes Her Boiler
~ and Goes to the Bottom.

On the morning of the 23d, the steam
er Katie May left Excelsior MINI. on the
the east side of Lake Mlnnetonka, with
an excursion party consisting of several
prominent citizens of st. Paul and Min
neapolis and took them over to Wayzata
when they disemb parked and shortly there
after the steamer started out Or her return.
About one mile from the latter place and
where opposite Guilds Point, the boiler
suddenly exploded and the steamer went
almost Immediately to the bottom. At
the time there were five persons on board,
but only two (and these badly injured)
were picked up by a tow boat which went
to the rescue. These were Howard Trum-
bull, the pilot and Edgar Searnans paint
er.s The killed were Capt. Charles May,
the owner of the boat; Charles II. Stod-
dard, the engineer and Albert Sea1nans
painter. All these were married men the
last named leaving a wife and two chill
drcn and the others a wife and child
each. All three were we'll known and
highly respected citizens. 81 =
The Katie May was a new boat, the
hull having been built at Hudson Wis.
last season and completed at Excelsior
the past spring. Her machinery was new,
her boilers which were calculated to Car
~ 10 pounds Of steam were at the time
OF the accident under a pressure Of only
SO pounds: The cause Of the explosion
is a mystery but the most probable 1ex-
planationtis that the accident was due to
low water in the boiler. The propeller
was 50 feet long; was owned by Capt.
Charles May and Ills son in law Capt.
Mitchell and was valued at SIS 900.

Life Rescue.

The true plan to follow, when safety is
the call, is to swim with everything below
the chin well down under water, the head
we'll back and resting centrally on the
floating power of the lungs. But what
will you do when your companion is tired
out and drowning? That depends. IF
n ne IS cool and reliable, get in front Of
him, let him get his hand on your hips
(not on your shoulders, and you can carry
him quite distance. That supposes that
both parties, rescued and rescuer, under
stand fair play. The weaker party is the
one that ought to drown, if he shows anv
disposition to drown his friend by mis-
cradle, cowardly death-clutch at the only
floating thing around him. In the case
OF the death clutch, go to the bottom with
your man and leave him there. There
may be an unpleasant wrestle, but the real
drowning man is ready to quit his prey
when he stikes bottom. The better man
has his right to come to the surface and
swim ashore
But in a considerable swimming ex-
per1ence, and some rescues, there comes
one absolute rule: Never face drown
ing man. He welcomes rescue SO eagerly
CiaC lle WILL mug you around the neck and
take you down. The safest and best
thing to do is to get behind him, and, un-
less you are left handed, put your left
hand under his right arm pit. The lift
you give him will be enough in ordinary
water. He can be coaxed to help him
self, and if he is a reasonable being YOU
can bring him to shore. If he is insane
with fright, recollect that you are to be
both prudent and heroic. Get away from
him, clutch his ankle with one hand and
tow him ashore. If the bank is near, he
is not likely to drown on the way. If he
does, it is not your fault. But brave
swimmer is master Of his element.
once saw two young fellows rescue a
drowning comrade in way that was re-
markable for its neatness. The poor fell
low was in mid-stream, cramped and ex-
hausted, and barely able to keep afoat.
Which was first was never decided, but in
the critical moment each was behind him,
each with hand under an arm-pit; he
was almost lightweight on their hands,
and they swan him ashore, more dead
than alive. It was a struggle, but they
were masters of the situation. -

Heroism of Montenegrin Women.

Montenegrin women have the same
passionate attachment with the men to
family and country, and display much of
the same valor. Goptchevitch supplies
two most remarkable examples. A sister
and four brothers, the four of course all
armed, are making pilgrimage, or ex-
cursion to a church. The state of war
with the Turk being normal, we need not
wonder when we learn that they are, at
tackled unaWares on their way, in pass
where they proceed in single file, by sew
en- armed Turks, who announce them
selves by shooting dead the first
OF the brothers and dangerously
wounding the second. The odds are
fearful, but the fight proceeds. The
wounded man leans against the rock, and
thoughhe receives another and fatal shot,
kills two Of the Turks before he dies.
The sister presses forward and grasps his
rifle and his dagger. At last all are
killed on both sides, excepting herself
and single Turk. She asks for mercy;
and he promises it, but names her maid
emily honor as the price. Indignant, and
perceiving that now he is off his guard,
she stabs him with the dagger
He tears it from her hand, they close,
and she dashes the wretch over the preci-
pice, into the yawning depth below. The
second anecdote is not less singular It'd
ings reach a Montenegro wife that her
husband has just been slain by a party
under the command of a certain Aga.
Knowing the road by which they are
travelling, she seizes a rifle, chooses her
position, and shoots the Aga dead The
rest Of the party take to flight. The wife
OF the dead Aga sends her an epistle.
"Thou hast robbed me of both my eyes.
Thou art genuine daughter of Tserna-
CORA. Come tomorrow alone to the bor-
der and prove by trial which Of us
was the better wife, The Tsernagorine
appeared, equipped with the arms of the
dead Aga, and alone, as she was
invited. But the Turkish woman
had thought prudence the better part of
valer, and brought an armed champion
with her, who charged cher on horseback.
She shot him dead as he advanced, and,
Selling her faithless antagonist, bound
her and took her home, kept her as a
nurse-maid fer fourteen years, and then
let her go back to her place and people.

Women to the Front.

A Paterson N. J. dispatch of the Goth,
says: There is great excitement among the
silk factory hands. Five or six hundred are
now out. Hamil mill has shut down, and sew
eral mills are without hands. At a meeting of
strikers in Military hall. to-day Gustave Hen
ricks favored returning to work. The women
attacked him and tore his coat, and one wom-
an threw salt and pepper in his eyes. He drew
an empty revolver but was chased out of the hall
and persued half mile, hundreds of persons
joining in the chase. He was captured, taken
before the justice and discharged. He made
complaint against the woman who assaulted
him with salt and pepper, and she was arrest
ed and held to bail in $500. The strikers visit
ed various mills to persuade the operatives to
join them. The police have been called upon
to protect the hands at work. The general
sentiment seems to be that the strike is ILL

Australian Tidal Waves.

A remarkable series Of waves reached
the coast of New South Wales on Friday, the
18th Of May. Ats, a. m. on the 18th, the tide
gauge at Fort Denison records the first of a
series ofwayes, which went on at intervals all
day, reaching maximum about 2 p. m. of 8
feet inches, rise and fall. At Newcastle, the
waves began at s. m. and at II 80 a. M the
harbor water fell 20 inches in four minutes.
The rise is not given. After this the oscilla-
tons continued but were not so great. At
Ballina similar phenomenon has been OBJ
served all day. Greatest rise, 18inches. Tel
egrams from New Zealand report similar
waves on the east coast, from a. M, extend
ing from the bay Of the islands to the bluff.
The greatest range was six feet, least reported
2 feet. BY late news they still continued

Since then no new business has been taken by

A fire in Marblehead on the morning of
the 2Sth swept away nearly the entire bust
ness portion Of the town. The fire began in
the stable the Hathaway house, and spread
with alarming rapidity to the hotel and other
buildings. AL the large shoe manufactures
but three are in ruins. These were mostly
large wooden buildings, filled with machinery
and furnishing employment to- hundreds Of
men and women. The Eastern railway de-
pot, six or seven passenger cars, and a num-
Der Of freight cars were burned. Oyer forty
dwelling houses were consumed, and the oc-
cupants saved but a very small portion Of
their furniture, and families only the clothes
they had on, in escaping from the burning
buildings. seventy-two buildings in all were
consumed. It is impossible to make an esti-
mate of the loss or insurance

Mid.Air Telephoning.

In these days Of telephony some inter-
est attaches to two old-time instances of
the transmission Of sounds for great dis
tances, doubtless from some peculiar cleo
tria state of the atmosphere or of the
earth. The particulars are these: On
the morning of the battle of Bunker Hill
If the traditions Of few years ago uni
versal in Berkshire, Mass, be true-the
booming of the cannon on ST. Charles
was distinctly heard in various towns on
the Berkshire hills. At Lee it was first
heard by man digging we'll, who call
ed his neighbors, and they also heard it.
In Pittsield it was heard by many persons,
and more distinctly by laying their ears
to the ground. Captain Jared Ingersoll,
Hosea Merrill and others often spoke oft
in their latter days to persons now or re-
Gently living. In Worthington it was
first heard by three recruits for the army
resting by the road side with their heads
upon their hands and their elbows on the
ground. The second case was in 1892.
and is related on the authority of the late
DR.. 0. S. Root, physician of high stand
ing and of more than ordinary scientific
culture. On the twenty sixth Of Novem-
Der in the year named, Samuel Charles,
an Oneida Indian, was hung at Lenox for
murder, and the Berkshire Greys, a Pitts
field military company, acted as guard.
At noon of the day Of execution DR.. Root,
standing on the hill at the foot of South
street, in Pittsield heard the sound of the
drum and fife so clearly that it seemed
within a few rods. He went to the brow
Of the hill, expecting to see the company
marching up the side, but, to his surprise
saw nothing, although the sound contin-
ued. It appeared afterward that at the
moment DR.. Root heard them, the drum
and fife, the company were marching
down Gallow's hill, in Lenox, six miles
off. On the same day a party fishing on
Pontoosuc lake, ten miles north of Gal
lows hill heard the low strains of music
proceeding to the place of execution, and
then the rapid march played on the return
as clearly as though within a few rods.
These we'll attested cases present fair
problem for Professor Bells solution.

Canadian Crop Reports.

The Globes reports Of the crop pros
poets of that country are not very encourage
ing, and shows decided falling Off It says:
Reports of fall wheat are generally excellent,
and more than the average crop may probably
be counted on, if no unfavorable change takes
place before the harvest which will be- early
this year. Spring wheat is perhaps shade
less favorably spoken of, and both fall and
spring wheat, but more particularly the latter,
have suffered by the frost which at the latter
part OF last week did a very large amount Of
mischief. Barley will yield a smaller crop
than for many+easons. Less barley has been
sown, farmers being tempted by prospects
OF realizing high prices for wheat, and the
want OF rain has been felt in the growth of the
plant. The frost also affected it to some ex-
tent. Barley crops will therefore be below an
average. Oats have suffered considerably
from want of rain, and will bca short crop in
many Places 4 e19G :xGlsEet 10 s5
