Seven Killed.

LOUISVILLE, July 20.-The tug boat
Convoy blew up twenty-six miles above
here, this morning, and seven men were
killed. The explosion of ths steam pipe
that supplied the engine from the boiler
caused the catastrophe. Most of the
men were asleep at the time. The vic
tins were VIM. Page, Vim. Harrison,
Robert Jones, VIM. Bigley, Charles
Luster, George McCann and VIM. Kelly
All belong in Pittsburg or nearby
Pennsylvania cities.
When the boat reached Westport,
everything, according to the first
mates story, was running smoothly.
When they were two miles above West
port, the explosion took place, the
boat becoming enveloped IN steam
and the machinery stopped. Captain
Richardson hurriedly dressed, called
the survivors about him and made pre-
parations to land. After the boat had
been toWed ashore, the captain pro-
ceeded to the after-cabin where the ex-
plosion occurred. Page lay near the
door, blood rushing from his mouth
and ears and the flesh scalded off his
body; Mccain and Harrison were in
their Der ths; the death OF each must
have been instantaneous, for they lay
ia the same position as when they re-
tired Jones was on the floor and barely
alive; he was horribly burned and lived
but fifteen minutes. dying with his
wlfe's name on his lips. Bgley was
also still alive when found, but died in
ten minutes. Luster was discovered

he was not dead and told them that he
had run out there as soon as he could
recover from the shock OF the explo-
sion. He was almost baked, his skin
was parched and little jets OF blood
stood out from the pores of his body;
in two hours he was dead. Kelly was
pulled out from under his bunk, and
was alive, but he was horribly burned.
Charles Chambers, the only other man
who slept IN the cabin, was blown out
of the door and had miraculous es-
cape. He was unscsthed, as were also
Mate Kerins, Pilot Reno and Engineer
Carr. All others abosrd persisted. The
officers OF the boat can give no explana-
ton of the accident and claim the ma

and was then in excellent condition.

SATISFIED At LAST

George A. Smith. of Salt Lake City,
is young man well and favorably
known throughout Utah. He has been
troubled with a bad case of cross-eyes
all his life. Several years ago he had
an operation performed by an ocul ST,
bat it was not successful and did no
good, consequently his faith was very
much shaken about its ever being made
straight. But at the Continental Hotel
on Monday of this week, DR.. Prentice
made it straight in less than half a
minute. Mr.. Smith is delighted with
the result and his many friends
astonished. Mr.. Smith said it caused
him practically no pain.

A certain doctor in this city, who has
a diploma for medicine and would like
to have one for surgery, has hit upon a
good plan to become a surgeon and a
successful one. He has noticed other
successful surgeons employ certain
nurse In the care of difficult wounds by
gunsbot. Having secured, accidentally,
a gunshot patient, who did not know
but that he was a good surgeon, as his
tin sign reads "Physlcisn and Surgeon"
he hit upon the plan Of employing this
skilled nurse to care for his patient and
gave her carte blanche in the care OF the
patient. The nurse therefore became
the surgeon and the interruptions doc
tor should have become the nurse, but
he did not. His patient was cured and
he is gradually gaining the reputation OF
being as good surgeon as the others.
