the stern, with the alternative of rushing
into the flames or jumping overheard. As
no one saw them fail over, it is supposed that
they were literally burned to death.
FUEL FOR THE FIRE.
Additional fuel wss furnished the flames
BY several tiers OF oakum, which were con-
sumed like finder. Those on board hardly
knew how they were awakened, and did not
care much how they were dressed. The main
point was to escape. The flames had the
completest possession OF the boat IN five
minutes and fearful cyclones OF fame shot
into the air, and immense clouds of smoke.
The one rope holding the boat TO the land
was unable to stand the strain, and the Col
den City began gradually TO be drawn into
the current. Down the river she foated,
furnishing to those on the shore picture OF
unrivslled and fearful beauty. The waters
CLEANED in crimson, and the Arkansas shore
was distinctly drawn in red. Everyone who
witnessed the sight must have drawn men
tai picture of what was going on in the burn
ing boat. Women and men rudely awak-
ened from the peace of sleep, finding them
selves hemmed in by the flames; conscious
for moment of their peril, with a sudden
fash of conviction that all was hopeless
succeeding, and then blistered to death The
contemplation of the thing filled ali the
spectators with horror.
THE TRIP TO DOOM.
The steamer did not make a long trip to
her doom. A trail of Ere followed her close
10 the shore, then out a short distance into
the current. All the time the boat was
burning furiously and the fire was eating its
way to the water. The boat drifted off be-
yond Presidents Island, some three or four
hundred yards, and when within hundred
yards from the Tennessee shore the vessel,
with its poor dead bodies its cargo and
everything, was imprisoned in the waves and
the fierce elements were soothed in the twink
ling of an eye. 1t is the general impression
that those who died were suffocated to death
rather than burned. Afterward, those who
passed the place saw only part of the
debris and few chainszupen it. That was
the only evidence of the wreck. 1t
wonder to most people that there was not an
explosion, and the only way this can be &C
counted for is that the steam pipe burst and
thus allowed the steam to escape.

any kind, as they could 10: guide their own
course. There was one LADY aboard the
barge who was burnt in the back and she
went down the river with the party They
passed a man who was holding on 10 line.
They tried very hard to afford him assist
ance, but did not succeed. Some cried to
him:

He is supposed TO have drowned. No one
knew who ne was.
THE ORIOLES FATE.
The tug Oriole, commanded by Captain
Napoleon McNeely, was sunk and probably
destroyed by the burning boat running into
her. The Golden City mashed in the side of
the tug as she was going toward the coal
flats, the water rushed in rapidly, and the
| small boat sank. Captain McNeely was on
board at the time, with the crew. The boats
| watchmen hardly aroused the men in time
for them to get safely ashore, and it is almost
q miracle that they escaped. Captain Nc
Nicely was in his underclothiDg when notified
OF the fire, and in jumping off the tug be
ahghted upon lot of coal on the barge and
severely sprained his ankle. The engineer
| was also hurt in making his escape. Fol
some time 1t was thought that several OF The
crew had been drowned, but eventually they
all turned up. The pilothouse OF the Oriol'
is still percep;ible in the river, but whethel
the Oriole lies Immediately below is no
known, but it is suspected to be there. Th'
Oriole was valued at about $1,000. Their
was no insurance on her.
| THE PILOTS.
The first pilot of the boat, B. Purcell, re
manned at his post in the pilothOuse as lon
as there was any chance Of saving the boat
but jet of flame on each side OF him con
WINGED him that the task was hopeless one
so he left by the forward end, jumped to tn
hurricane roof, a distance OF ten feet, spraine'
his ankle considerably, but escaped.
Marion Purcell, the second pilot, wa
asleep in the texas when the FIRE broke out
! According TO the custom of the day, h
grabbed his clothing and leaped from tn
hurricane roof to a swinging stage, slid dow
the stage TO the deck and succeeded in gel

Heavy firing is heard in the direction OF
Aboukir Fort. Arab Pashs sen a train

shots were exchanged.
LONDON, July 2S.-An unconfirmed re-
port is received thar Arab Pasha has
proposed terms OF peace, the conditions
being voluntary exile, and the retention of
the rank and pay of Colonel for himself
and nine of his colleagues, and that the
khedive had submitted the proposal to
General Archibald Alison. 1t is believed
that this step has been taken at the insti-
cation of the Sultan. The report has
caused a rise in Egyptian stocks.
LONDON, July 2S.-In the Commons this
afternoon, the Under Foreign Secretary
stated that a telegram had been received
from Cartwright, Consul General at Alex

communication from Arab Pasha, with a
veiw to surrendering, but there is no
direct communication from Arab Pasha
so far.
ALEXANDRIA,, July 2S.-Arabi offers to
retire to a Mussulman monastery in Syria.
Among his colleagues, for whom he asks
the same terms, are Toulbs Pasha, Ali
Fehoy, Abdallah Pasha and Mahmoud

MISS FANNY \

This remarkable young woman, who
died suddenly Of paralysis OF the heart
at Bordentown a week ago on Thursday,
had earned for herself among her coun-
trYmen and countrywomen a reputation
Of her own, distinct from that which
came with her relationship to her famous
brother, the Irish leader. She made
Irish affairs and the matters Of the
Land League her Study, and wrote about
them with a ready, intelligent and very
torcible pen. She had an Irishwoman's
wealth of fancy, and it inspired her ire
quently to write verses that OF late were
always on her favored theme. She was
active and conspicuous in the organiza-
ton o! the Ladies' Land League in this
country, and in that and other kindred
efforts addressed meetings all over this
country and in Canada. After her broth
sra Wait to this country she spent much
time in behalf Of the famine relief Office
ne established. Her home was the Com
nodore Stewart mansion, Just beyond
B~ordentown. She was virtually mistress
of the estate, which is on a high point OF
the Delaware River, just where it widens
and turns toward Trenton. From the
broad veranda of the mansion the placid
and the willows and naples of the
Pennsylvania shore are seen beyond a
smooth lawn shaded by giant pines,
while far away in the other direction are
the fields and orchards of the farm, in
whose affairs she took SO close an interest
as to astonish even the women of the
neighborhood, who take a holder part in
affairs than city women do, She seemed
devoid of fear, and might be met any
night alone on the railroad track going
to and from the depot.

A gentleman now in Carson, and who is
in a position to know, tells the Appeal
that Ned Stokes, the slayer of Jim Fisk,
did not make his money in Nevada mines,
as was currently reported. The popular
belief in New York is that Stokes
had prior to his incarceration been
initiated into some of the mysteries
of the dark ways Of Jay Gould
and Jim Fisk, and since his release
Gould has put up a large sum of money
to seal Ned's mouth. The story of his
making a half million dollars in Nevada
mines is laughed at in New York. The
same gentleman states that, although
Stokes drives five horses, spends
money freely and all that sort of
thing, gentlemen who met him on
terms of equality prior to his shooting Of
Fisk, now altogether ignore him; in fact,
they will not even visit his grand gin pal
ace. Although raised in the best of New
York society he is now an outcast from it,
and must seek the companlonship of those
who can scarcely harmonic with his
tastes,

ASTOUNDING FIGURES.

Extravaganza has run mad at Wash
ington. Mr.. Beck declared in the Sem
ate that the books of the Appropriation
Committee showed, "even if the Senate
should adjourn to-day, and not increase
any of the bills we have yet to act
upon," an aggregate OF S4l9, 202, 939 %,
as having been voted since Congress met
in December, or at the rate OF $50, 000,-
600 per month
Nor will these huge appropriation foot
the bills by any means, says the New
York Sun. In three or four remaining
weeks of the session, five or ten millions
will be added to this enormous total. 1t
is safe to assume, in any event, that the
excess OF ordinary appropriations for the
current year over that which has just
expired will be between ~thirty-ive and
forty millions of dollars
Mr.. Aldrich o; Rhode Island puts the
difference at a still higher figure than
Mr.. Beck, and he explains it in part by
saying, increase in general deficiency
made necessary by the inadequate appro-
priations Of the preceding Democratic
Congress, 1926, 054 &C."
But how DO such deficiencies arise?
The Senator from Rhode Island knows
that existing laws forbid contracts being
made beyond the appropriations, and
forbid the appropriations from being
diverted from one object to another.
The heads OF departments defy the
statutes. They pay no more heed to
these restrictions than il they were OBJ
solete. They expend the money voted,
and 60 on to expend more without the
least color Of authority. They are
liable to impeachment, but a Republican
Congress would never think OF impeach-
ing Republican officials, who help to run
the party machine, and who extort from
subordinates the payment OF HubbelIs
political blackmail.
Twenty-nine millions of Deficiencies
have been voted at this session, and
some of them for stale and suspicious
claims that have been before Congress for
a generation. The Republicans came
into this Congress with the avowed in
tention of making up for a long absence
from the public crib, during six years
of Democratic ascendency in the House
of Representatives. They have lived up
to this promise. Nothing since the days
of Grantism compares with their pro-
diralitv at the nresent session.

TURF MATTERS.
WiIdmOOr and Red Coy to Run on
the I'd of August.


1t is now definitely arranged that the
race between Wildmoor and Red Boy,
Jack Gilmer's horse, is to take place We'd
nesday, Aug. 2. Besides the $40, 900 in
yolved in this race, put up by the owners
of the two horses, bets have been so nu-
merous that the total amount of money
staked on the result will probably sun up
to S25, 900 or $4,000. The race is a run
ming one, mile heats, three in five, so that
it will be far more interesting than has
been the single dash races heretofore run.
The prospects are that this will be the
most interesting contest Of horse speed
ever seen in the West, while it will involve
as much if not more on the result. This
race is the only n now spoken of among
turfmen in Salt Lake, and it is doubtful
If any more matches will be made until
after this one is run. The organization
of the Utah Jockey Club has been the
means of collecting one of the finest lots
of fast animals ever brought together in
the West, and upon their track some re-
markably good speed has been made, dur
ing the past few weeks.

PESNSYLVANIA Politics.

After two months Of ~caucusing, CORE
spending and ''parlor conferences" the
warning Republican factions in Pennsyl-
vania have agreed to disagree. The
latest attempt at a compromise was in
Philadelphia on July IS, when a propo-
sition was submitted by the I~ndepenJ.
ents to hold a meeting with the stalwart
committee, and if possible arrange their
differences and agree upon the calling of
new convention. In advance of this
meeting the stalwart chairman, Cooper,
made no secret that the proposition of
the Independents would be rejected. He
was authorized, he said, to send a declin-
alton and inclosed a letter from the reg.
ular candidates in whioh they say they
are in the hands Of the people and of the
committee, and decline the proposition
for the candidates on both sides to with.
draw and not be candidates before the
new convention. Senator Cameron, the
iron boss, has decided that ne will not
make any more overtures to the indie
p%endents. He ~nnounoe that the stall
warts OF Pennsylvania viii make an OK
g~ressive fight. They will consider the
Independents as much their enemies, if
more so, than the Democrats. No
concessions of any sort will be given.
Lochiel's war bonnet is on, and it will be
the Enife to the hilt. His lieutenants
have their orders, and although defeat
stares them in the face, the same Stub
born, desperate fight will be made in
Pennsylvania that rendered the 30d ia
nous in Chicago. There is not much
nonsonse about the stalwarts. They are
lighters from the ground up.

campaign, Independent Republican news
papers, like the Albany Journal and
Buffalo Express, serve notice on the stall
warts that any attempt to run the Con-
vention by machine tactics will be
promptly resented by the Independents.
In fact, nobody seems to know exactly
how Republican differences are going to
shape themselves, but the impression
prevails that Governor Cornell stands a
fair chance of receiving a new nomina-
ton, although his election is another
affair. The prospects for a Democratic
victory both in Pennsylvania and New
York are becoming brighter every day.

Brewers with rneir Backs Up.

A hot fight IS going on in Milwaukee
over the question of Sunday observance.
The city has a large German element,
and tire theaters and beer gardens have
been opened on sundays. A petition was
recently circulated for closing the the
ateIs, and it was signed by many me--
chants. This brought ont the resentment
of the Germans, and, under the directions
of the brewers, a system Of Boycotting
has been employed against all tradesmen
whose signatures appear on the petition.
The brewers are the prime movers, be-
cause they know that a closing of the the
aters would be followed by an attack on
the beer gardens and saloons. Much
bitterness has been engendered.
