outgoing trains to return home
This morning the city had resumed
its usual appearances, and aside
from thelmourning emblems on the build
ings there was little left to indicate the
memorial event of yesterday. 1t is very
difficult to give even an approximate esti-
mate of the attendance at the funeral, but
it was probably the largest crowd ever In
the city, and probably did not number less
than fifty thousand strangers. The rail-
road officials reported that their transpor-
tation facilities were more heavily taxed
than ever before, and a greater crowd was
never seen at the union depot than there
was last night. Senator VOORHEES, returned
to Washington last night. He said to a
reporter that he thought Senator Edmunds
would be elected president of the senate.

DEATH ON THE DARK RIVER.
The Tow-Boat Iron City Blown to
Pieces by Natural Gas Explosion.
Seven Persons Badly Injured and the
Boat Made Total Wreck.

PITTSBURG, Dec. 2.-The tow boat Iron
City was blown to pieces this morning about
Q o'clock while stuck on bar at the head
of Herr's island in the Allegheny river. The
crew, numbering six men, were blown into
the river. The engineer, George Ashton,
was instantly killed, Fred Jackson was
fatally injured, and the others seriously
hurt. The vessel was burned down to the
waters edge and is a total loss, About 6
O'Clock in the evening the Iron City, in run
ming down the river, was swung on the bar,
where she went badly aground just over the
main pipe of the Philadelphia Gas company.
All the evening and up to the time of the
explosion, the vessel tried to back off into
deeper water. Shortly after 2 o'clock, a
final effort was made to get off the bar. The
boat struck a gas main and ruptured it.
The gas caught fire from the furnace and
the explosion ensued. The conclusion
from the explosion was terrific, and awoke
the upper end of the two ciJies. Pieces of
the vessel were blown from the middle of
the river, where the beat was grounded,
to the Allegheny shore, 500 yards away.
A part of the cabin alighted on the roof at
Gerde's tannery, directly opposite, on the
Allegheny side. The water was shallow,
and the crew, with the exception of Ash
ton and Jackson. easily reached the bar.
Within few moments after the explosion
the river banks and the island became
thickly crowded with people. The few
skiffs that could be secured were at once
filled with large crews of rescuers, who
FASTENED to the scene of the disaster. The
survivors of the crew were taken from the
bar and rowed to the Allegheny shore,
where all possible was done for their inju-
rieS. Their names were:
Robert Jackson, foreman, badly bruised
and scalded.
Joe Richardson, badly injured.
EX-COuncilman Smith Walker, severely
hurt.
Billy Wently, leg broken.
James Ouslaer, the owner, said to be Sc
verely injured.
A. NJ. Galbraith, will probably die, making
the total number injured seven.
The remains of George Ashton, the en-
gineer, were taken to his home. The Iron
City was built in this city eleven years ago,
and was 135 feet long and 25 feet wide.
When built she was considered an excel
lent craft, and has continually been engaged
in harbor towing. Her original cost was
about $4,000.

Women Rule the Roost.

DETROIT. Mich, Dec. 2.-Another scene
of tremendous uproar and excitement oc-
Cured this morning at st. Albert's Polish
Catholic church. Both masses were
drowned i'll yells and screams. Women
packed the church and pelted the priests
with chunks of dry mud, stones, etc. One
of the new priests was attacked on the steps
of the altar and his priestly robes torn from
his back by infuriated women. The priests
then feared for their lives and, surrounded
by sixty policemen, ran full speed across
the street to the priests house, amid
showers of stones and brickbats. Several
of the rioters We're arrested by the police.
The streets became packed with bowling
mob At last Father Kolasinski, the de-
posed priest, appeared at the scene and
was instantly surrounded by women and
children, who kissed his hands and vowed
they would never have any priest but him.
Father Kolasinski persuaded them to clear
the street, and all is now quiet. More
trouble is sure to follow, unless the bishop
restores KolaSinSki to his charge.

A Tale of Abuse.

XENIA. o., Dec. "A most horrifying
case of parental abuse and depravity is up
before the mayors court at this time. Jo-
siah Allen, As years of age, is under arrest
for beating in most cruel manner young
son. The beating occurred Saturday, and
Allen was put under arrest at once. Now
the wife and two other sons make an ex-
pose of a fearful character as to the brutal
conduct of Allen in his beating the boys
and their mother. Not only this, but they
state that he has been trying to compel his
fourteen-year-old daughter to submit to his
lusts, and because she has resisted has
abused her and threatened her with death.
The mother and brothers are in terrified
state over the matter and show by their ac-
tions and words that they have been terribly
abused. The mother says she does not
think the girl has ever given up to the
brutal father. but does not know certainly.
and believes that she would have to finally
if he is allowed to escape the law. The de-
tails of the fathers many attempts to de-
baucn his own child are too horrible for be-
lief, much less for print. Allen will be put
through to the extent of the law.

enforce their lien, one-half of the award
being invested in government bonds and

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-There died in
this city day or two ago a man named
Thomas Hardin, who for the last ten or tif-
teen years has been a room clerk at one of
the hotels literally patronized by southern
people. Harbin was very quiet, reserved
man and singularly reticent as to himself.
Since his death, however, one or two of his
most intimate friends have unconsciously
told little scraps of history concerning Har-
bin which does much toward clearing up
one of the mysteries surrounding the assas-
Sination of Mr.. Lincoln. 1t
appears that Harbin. during the
rebellion, was in the secret employ
of Jefferson Davis, who used him to carry
dispatches between Richmond and Balti-
more. Many instances of hardships and
dangers encountered by Harbin are related.
On one occasion, while disguised as
farmer. he was carrying an important mes
sage from Davis to an employe of the Con-
federacy in Baltimore. Harbin was sur
rounded by twenty or thirty federal cav
alrymen, who demanded his Immediate sur
render. He realized the fact that his cap
ture meant death and grasping revolver
in each hand fired at his would-be captOrs.
The audacty of the man probably saved
his life, for the soldiers were
AMAZED AT HIS PLUCK,
and before the fire could be returned Har-
bin had put spurs to his horse and made
his escape. 1t will be remembered that j.
Wilkes Booth. after the shooting of the
president at Ford's theater, made his escape
on horseback from the city. The horse
ridden by Booth was traced by Col. Bakers
detectives to the possession of man
named Wilson, who caused the beast to be
properly bridled and saddled and taken to
the stage door of the theater. Bakers de-
tectives hunted all over the world for
clue to the identity of the man Wilson,
and at one time reward of
SIS, 900 or $4,000 was offered by the
war department for his apprehension. 1t is
now said that Harbin was Wilson. Har
bin was in Washington just before the as
sassination occurred, and at Booths request
provided him with horse. But Harbin
recently told his friends that he did not un-
derstand the reason why Booth desired the
horse or he would not have been party to
the scheme. He said Booth deceived him,
and he did not realize the fact until after
the shooting. Harbin made his escape from
Washington the same night. He went
South. thence to Cuba and England. return
ing to Washington after lapse of four or
five years.

NEW YORK. Dec. 2.-Rev. Oliver L..
Aschenfelder was arrested while convers-

Mass, in the Liberty street ferry-house On
Tuesday, on a charge of abduction. He

leave her home. The girls father was at
once communicated with. When he was

Crowell is 10 years old. She is of medium
height and build, with brown hair and eyes,
clear complexion and regular features.

Aschenfelder of Philadelphia became the
pastor of the Universalist church there.

swarthy complexion. He pleased the
people and his wife became favorite.

young people. Nearly every summer even
ing he used to take number of girls out
rowing. He was frequently seen with
Miss Crowell, but this created no comment

her home. Two months ago he sent his
wife and children to Philadelphia and lived
in the hotel. Miss Crowell left her home
on Monday. and on her arrival at Middle
boro she sent letter to her mother, in

abduction. If convicted the reverend gen.
tleman will get ten years in the peniten-
tiary for his crime.
