THE GILCHRIsT.
Further Investigation of the Rock Island
Horror.

Horror.
Rock ISLAND, Nov Ain the Gilchrist in
quiry to-day Dina Doranee, the pilot and cap
tain, said the boat had passed through the
bridge all right, but stopped when about 600
feet tabove. He asked through the speaking
tube what the matter was but got
no reply he could understand, though
he thought he heard call right in half a
minute" He headed the boat for the island
shore to get out of the current, but the boat
was carried down upon the bridge. He could
not desert his post as he had hopes that the
engine would work in time to get through
the bridge, and he whistied for the
draw to open. He only quit
the pilot house when the boat was about to
strike, and was told by the mate to jump on
the barge. Several others calling for help
were saved directly afterwards. He knew
nothing of any drinking or any whisky on
board, and the machinery worked admirably
up 10 the time it was disabled by the breaking
of the cam-rod.
Other witnesses examined to-day were
James A. Hives, the mate, and John Schoreh-
ter, the pilot. Hives said he tried to turn the
wheel when the cam-rOd broke, but found
there was no time to do anything as the boat
was even then close on the bridge. He passed
through the cabin warning everybody to get
on the barge, and assisted three or four before
and after the collision. The pilot inquired
what the matter was when the wheel stopped
and was told but did not understand the mean
ing of the break. He told lady in the cabin,
and says the boat struck about half minute
later =.

AN ACCOUNT OF THE BOAT.
The Netcs in ST Paul.

The steamer War Eagle, whose wreck is re-
ported above, belongs to the st. Paul & St.
Louis fast line, of which Commodore David
son is principal owner and general manager.
Upon receipt of the telegraphic news above a
GLOBE reporter visited the residence of Capt.
John H. Reaney, general manager Of the line
in this city, No. 73 Canada street, the
commanding motive of the visit being to as
certain if there were any st. Paul or Minnesota
people among the passengers of the ill-fated
steamer. The reporter found Capt. Reaney at
home sleeping soundly, but the reportorial
manipulations of the door bell brought
him 10 the front. As was to
be expected, the first intimation
the captain heard of the disaster to the boat
was furnished by the reporter. In answer to
interrogatories he said The War Eagle left st.
Paul for st. Louis Monday evening last. She
left with a light trip, both passengers and
freight. He was positive there were no st.
Paul people on board.

from the Keokuk trade, and make
hera consort of the Gem City To this end
the machinery of the boat was thoroughly
overhauled, her cabins refurnished and the
electric light put in. She had proved a sue
cess in the new trade and Commodore David
son had decided on continuing her in the
| st. Paul fast line trade next season. She was
commanded by Capt. Jerry Wood, one of the
Oldest and most accomplished, in experience
and dactual knowledge, of the upper Mississippi
steamboat captains, from which fact Capt
Reaney feels positive the casualty was due t.
the deceptive current caused by the prevailing
high water

SIGNING THE BOND BILL.
A Notable Gathering and an Impressive
Scene.

scene.
Yesterday was notable day in Minnesota
affairs, made so by the fact that Gov Pills
bury affixed his official signature to the bill
providing for the payment of the railroad
bonds. Quite number OF gentlemen had in
dicated desire to be present when the act was
performed, and they we're accordingly notified
that the bill would be signed at D. m. At
that hour there were gathered in the gov
ernor's room Gen. H. q. sibley, Ex- Gov. Mar
Gilfilan, J. B. Gilallan, c. A. Pills
bury, Representatives james Smith, Jr.,
j. Thompson, Jr., J. B. Sanborn, ]. F. Nor
rish, Geo. HUM, E. Edgerton, president of
the Second National bank, st. Paul, and j. G.
Stoever, of Henderson. Just previouf to the
signing, Col. Crooks addressed the governor,
announcing that the act he was about to per-
form was the proudest event OF his life, and
his name would 60 down to his children's
children as affixed to the act which wiped
away the stain which had so long rested upon
the state.
The governor then took the soon-to-be his
toric pen and wrote his name upon the bill,
thereby making it the law of the state. That
the matter was entirely informal was evidenced
by the fact that the pen was on old, much
used steel affair, fastened in common rubber
holder.
Gen. Sibley, who was governor when the
original bonds were issued, and who signed
them, was visibly affected at the consumma-
ton of his long cherished desire, too much so
to trust himself to make any formal acknowl-
edgment of the pleasure he experienced, be-
yond giving, in conversational way, express
sion to the sentiment that this was the fruition
of his hopes, the great ambition of his life
being to see the obligations which bear his
name, honorably redeemed
When the signing had been concluded Col.
Crooks asked the governor for the privilege
OF taking the pen and presenting it to the
Historical society. The request was granted,
and the colonel, accompanied by several of
the gentlemen present, proceeded to the His
torical society, and in few neat words
handed it over to the secretary, Fletcher VIII
liams. He endorsed it, "Pen with which
Gov. Pillsbury signed the bond adjustment
bill, November 4, 1881" J" and placed it among
the archives.

Red Rsver Land Sales.

The land sales by the land department of
the st, Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba Rail-
way Company, for the two months ending
November 1st, were 41,517 acres, II OH in
September, and 80, AS in October. The num-
ber of purchasers were 81 in September, and
1913 in October, and the average price re-
ceived was $40 the first month and So the
second. This would appear to indicate that
Land Commissioner j. B. Power has stimu
lated the business, and certainly the result of
the first months work must be very satisfac-
tory. Special Commissioner Sawyer sold in
the contested limits during the same months
25,3S5 acres; the sales in September being 49,
964 acres. Surely there is a boom in the Red
River valley.
