TERRIBLE DISASTER.
A River Boat Burned, With Heavy Los,
Of Life.

a RIVER BOAT Burned, With Heavy Loss
LONDON, August Ala dispatch from
st. Petersburg says the passenger stea mer
plying on the river between Volga and Lar
atoo, capital 0; the Province OF Laratoo,
in Russia, burned to-day.
Later advices from St. Petersburg say
that the steamer which was burned on the
Folga to-day was tbe "Vera," belonging to
tho Samolet Company. and bound from
Astraehan up the river. The fire was
caused by the fall OF lamp in the saloon.
The woodwork ignited and all efforts to
stop the flames were unavailing. The pas
sengera, all OF whom were in bed, rushed to
the deck as soon as the alarm was given,
and nearly all OF them, panic stricken,
spraug overheard. The Captsin ordered
the vessel to be run ashore. This was done,
but while the bow became embedded in the
bark the stern remained in deep water,
and the passengers were still obliged to
swim ashore. Many lost their lives by
being struck by tables and chairs thrown
from the vessel to aid the struggling swim
mers in the water. Owing to a failure to
stop the engines, the water was churned M
by the wheels, rendering it more difficult
task for the rescuers who put out from
shore to save the drowning passengers.

CUT IN RATES,
Trouble Between the Baltimore & Obi
and tho Pennsylvanis Company.

Between the Baltimore Ohio
and tho Pennsylvanis Company.
New YORK, August 22.-All outside ticket
agents and scalpers were trying to sell
tickets over the Baltimore & Ohio to-day,
and making concessions when necessary,
in exc IS OF the IS cut advertised
officially by the company in rates to
Chicago. Since the recent controversy with
the Pennsylvania Company about freight
business, the Baltimore 4 Ohio have again
cut passenger rates to all points. Extra
oncessions have been made amounting to
IS to Chicago, and SIS to points further
west this side OF the Mississippi. The feel.
ing is general that the passenger pool must
soon take notice OF new cuts, as the road
rates is losing a great part OF
the passenger traffic. Frank, the Astor
House broker, says instructions have been
given to all agents to use all efforts to
secure the passenger business for the Balt-
more & Ohio. They are doing 80 and do
not let passengers 60 by any other line.
So far the cut is limited to third in excess
Of the regular ive-dollar cut to Chicago,
and the additional cut OF SO to far west
ern points.

away from West Twelfth street Hellman
went to the corner Of Fourteenth and
South Ha'stead where lie gathered large

pOgation Of socialistic sentiment was soon
stopped by officers from Canal Port venue
station who arrested Hellman. He will
have Q chance tomorrow in court to ex-
plain away his sympathy for anarchists.
