LOUISVILLE, July 20.-The tugboat
Convoy blew up, twenty-six miles above
here this morning. Seven men were
killed. The explosion of the steam pipe
that supplied the engine from the boilers
caused the catastrophe. Most of the
men were asleep at the time. The vic.
Tins were VIM. Page, VIM. Harrington,
Herbert Jones, VIM. Bigley, Charles
Luster, Geo, McCann, VIM. Kelly. All
belong in Pittsburg or nearby Pennsyl
vania cities.
When the boat reached WestporI
everything according to the frs
mates story, was running smoothly
When they were two miles above
Westport suddenly there was an ex
plosion, the boat becoming envelopeC
in steam. and the machinery stopped.
Capt. Richardson hurriedly dressed
called the survivors about him and made
preparations to land. After the boat haG
been towed ashore the Captain had pro
ceeded to the after cabin, where the ex
plosion had occurred. Page laid near the
door, blood rushing from his ears anc
mouth, and the flesh scalded off his
body. McCann and Harrington were il
their berths. The death of each mus
have been instantaneous, for they lay il
the same position as when they. .retii ed.
Jones was on the floor and barely alive
He was horribly burned and lived but
fifteen minutes and died with his wife'1
name on his lips. Bigley wa
also still alive when found, bu
died in ten minutes. Luster was
discovered outside of the cabin lying OF
his face. He was not dead and tolt
them that he had run out there as soor
as he could recover from the shock O
the explosion. He was almost baked
his skin was parched, and little jets o
blood stood out from the pores Of hi
body. In two hours he was dead. Kell,
was pulled out from under his bunk an,
was alive, but he was terribly burned
Charles Chambers, the only other mai
who slept in the cabin, was blown out o
the door and had miraculous escape

THE WHEELING FLOOD.
Terrible Loss Of Human Life an
Property.

WHEELING, w. Va, July 20.-At noon
to-day the revised estimate Of lives lost
by the food last night puts the number
at least twenty-five. About fifteen bodies
had been found. The money loss footed
up $3.50, 900. The greatest loss of life
was along Wheeling creek and at Tria-
delphia. Search this morning resulted
in the discovery of number of bodies
near the latter place. Most OF them were
found among the drift which collected in
Elm Grove. The body of VIM CASTOR,
aged 60, prominent and wealthy citizen,
was among them. His wife's remains
were found two miles below, hanging on
q barbed wire fence. Chas. Caulbell, of
the Wheeling Ne,Us Letter, aged 80, was
found among the drift wood. Mrs. Jane
Fay and her two grown up daughters,
Alice and Mary, were discovered short
distance below Triadelphia, and the
bodies of two brothers named German
were found in meadow, where they had
been buried by the furious waves.
Later reports from Triadelphia show
that the destruction by the flood was
more appalling there than elsewhere.

extended sixteen miles east of West

school house, large building of six
rooms, stood, the creek is now a raging
flood, and not vestige even of the

half Of the town has disappeared as
clean as If it never existed. The Wheel.
ing relief committee, which recently
raised funds for the Bowlesburg suffer
ers, expended the balance for provisions
and sent it to Triadelphia.
The Baltimore and Ohio, Pittsburg :
division, is practically destroyed for fif-
teen miles. The Western Union Tele-
graph Company lost forty miles of wire
and most of the poles.
Reports are coming in from all parts
of Ohio county indicating that the storm
was more disastrous to life and property
in the county than in this city. The loss
of life in Wheeling is known to be ten,
with number reported missing. Cald.
we'll Run, which passes through the
Eighth Ward of the city, was the scene
of the greatest havoc. Three houses
were swept away and all the inmates
drowned. They were Mrs. Barbara
Stencil ann son, Herman Stencil; Alice
and Annie Wingert, Of Miltonsburg,
Ohio, ,nieces Of Mrs. Stencil; John Homar
and Mrs. Thomas Hawley and four chill
dren. Her husband was in the yard and
was swept one hundred yards down the
stream, but managed to reach the bank
in safety. Only two bodies have been
recovered-those of Alice Wingert and
Mrs. Stencil. Mrs. Johnson, widow
aged 60 years, residing at Clinton, this
county, died from fright at the havoc
wrought by the food. Among the
drowned is the Sheriff of Marshal
county. Two cemeteries were washed
out, and collins with bodies foated dowr
the river.

CHICAGO, July 20.-Chleboun and
Chopek furnished the required bonds of
$4,000 each, last evening, and have been
released. Kronek, the arch'conspirator
is still in confinement, and will doubtless
80 remain. Inspector Bonfield says the
case is complete with the arrests already
made. One or two others may have
known of the plot, but not to the extent
that they would be convicted. Any fur
fher arrests will be for the purpose oi
holding witnesses. The Inspector de-

Cure For Piles.

Itching piles are known by moisture like
perspiration, producing a very disagreeable
itching after getting warm. This form as well
as blind bleeding and protruding piles yield at
once to the application OF DR.. Bosanko's Pile
Remedy, which acts directly upon the parts
affected, absorbing the tumors, allaying the
intense itching and effecting permanent cure.

MANITOBA MATTERS,

WINNIPEG, July 20.-Premier Green

the latter solicitor for the Northern Pa

Paul. Greenway expressed confidence
before leaving that arrangements would
be effected with MIR. OAkes, whereby the
negotiations now going on with the
Northern Pacific will be completed, and
the railway extensions already outlined
will be secured. Operations will proba-

Local volunteer military officers have
orders from General Middleton and Sir
Adolphe Caron, Minister of Militia, to
hold themselves and their commands in
readiness to proceed on short notice to
British Columbia, and thence northward
to the Skeena River to assist in quelling
the Indian uprising there. Reports to
the Hudson Bay Governor indicate rather
serious state OF affairs, and lead to the
belief that several warlike tribes will
join the insurrection. Full intelligence
is expected within day or two by the
Hudson Bay Company.

Mitchellstown on Mandeville's death
has committed suicide. Ridley had
been present at the inquest daily, wait

The evidence given to show that Mande-

His suicide confirms the popular belief
that Vaudeville was treated with ex-

Jim Fisk's Office Boys One Round that
Led to His Success i'm Life.

c. y. White, chief paymaster of the
New York, Lake Erie and Western railroad
company for many years, has resigned.
He is succeeded by Peter f. Donohue,
who was Paymaster Whites assistant.
When Fisk and Gould were in control OF
the Erie, Peter Donohue was Fisk's office
boy. He was a slight-built boy, but his
eye was always on the right side OF
business.
One day Fisk gave orders to Peter, who
sat at the outside door of Prince Fries
office in the Grand Opera House building,
that he would be engaged In some partic.
ular matters, and must be out to every
applicant, no matter who it might be.
At that time John Morrissey and Fisk
were great friends, and Morrissey hap
pened to van to see Fisk that day on some
important business. Peter knew of the
high regard Fisk had for John Morrissey,
and the latter was in the habit, wnen he
called at the Erie building, Of walking
into Fisk's Office u%nannounced and with.
out ceremony. On this day he was pass.
ing, when the three-foot-and-a-hal office
boy rose up and told the congressman
that he couldn't pass.
"How's that?" said Morrissey.
"Mr. Fisk is busy and can't see any.
body" replied Peter Donohue.
Hell see me" said Morrissey.
"No he won't" insisted Peter.
The persistence of the boy rather net
tied the eX prize fighting statesman, and
he said, testify, and taking u step towarC

eyes, said Peter, cOolly, "you're John
Morrissey."
"Well," said Morrissey, ~ guess Mr..
Fisk will see me-"
With that he swept the diminutive Of.
flee boy aside and strobe toward the door.
His hand was on the knob, but he did not
turn it. Peter Donohue sprang ON the
broad back Of the former athlete and
climbed up it like IA monkey. He threw
his arm around Morrissey's neck and
gave it a squeeze that shut the big mans
wind Off, and forced him to give all his
attention to freeing himself from the de-
termined office boys grasp. He finally
succeeded, but when the novel struggle
was over the Office boy stood again be-
tween the congressman n Fisk's door.
"Mr. Fisk gave me orders TO let nobody
in there" exclaimed Peter, land you
can't go in. That's all there is about ii. I"
Morrissey's anger quickly gave way to
admiration Of the boys pluck and faith
f~ulness, and, laughing heartily over his
defeat, he went away. He told Fisk next
day about his encounter with Peter, and
how the latter had "downed him" Moth
ing all Fisk's remarkable career ever
pleased him as much us the "mill," rs he
called it, between Morrissey and Donohue.
The boy was rapidly advanced by Fisk,
and one Of the direct results of this affair
with Morrissey is his present place at the
head Of the most important branch Of the
Erie railways financial department.

Germany's Army Commanders.

The emperor Of Germany is the com
mander-in-chief Of the army, whose motto
is For God, King and Fatherland." The
allied sovereigns, Bavaria, Sdxony, ETC.,
appoint their officers Of the contingent
which they furnish, but they have to be
approved by the emperor. The minister
of wal is Gen. Won S~chellendorf. He
superintends the different commands for
Prussia and the confederated states.
Field Marshal Won Moltke is at the head
Of the general staff, which is made up Of
the officers of the different armies tempo
rarily detached. They form seven divis-
ions. The first three study each q theatre
of war, the fourth occupies itself with the
railroads, the fifth devotes its time to mill
tary history, the sixth studies geography
and statistics and the seventh geodosy
and topography. Field Marshal VoI,
Moltke can call to his assistance the most
distinguished civil engineers in the empire
whenever he wishes. The general staff
has a library, begun in 1915, which now
comprises nearly $4,000 volumes.-Berlin

What am / to DoP

The symptoms Of biliousness are un'
happily but too well known. They
differ in different individuals to some
extent. A bilious man is seldom {
breakfast eater. Too frequently, alas
he has an excellent appetite for liquids
but none for solids Of a morning. Iii,
tongue will hardly bear inspection "a
any time if it is not white and furred
it is rough, at all events.
The digestive system is wholly out OF
order and diarrhea or constipation may
be a symptom or the two may alternate
There are often hemorrhoids or ever
loss of blood. There may be giddiness
and often headache and acidity OIL
tiatulence and tenderness in the pit o
the stomach. To correct all this if not
effect a cure try Green's August Flower,
it costs but a tritle and thousands attes'
its efficacy.

Take Time at the Table.

Americans live at too high q pressure.
No man has any business having func-
tional dyspepsia. Organic dyspepsia is
different. That is due to cancer or some
other specific disease OF the stomach or
other internal organs. Rapid eating
often grows out of the habit Of eating
alone. Pleasant company at table and
good food are excellent preventives of
rapid eating. Eat slowly, enjoy your
food, take plenty of time between courses
and let your teeth do their share of the
work instead Of putting the whole job on
the stomach. If you don't enjoy your
meals take vigorous enough exercise to
make you hungry. Hunger is the best
sauce. That is the way to prevent dys-
pepsia if you haven't it, and the way to
cure it if you have.-New York World
Interview.

Talking OF p~oliteness, the japanese have
that article in their composition to a very
extraordinary extent. Men are always
excessively polite to one another They
bend their backs and bow their heads and
put their two hands back TO back between
their knees and have n great time. But
the most amusing, thing is to see two old
aides in Japan meeting one another on
the street. The street is empty, We'll say,
and they catch sight Of one another three
or four blocks apart. They Immediately
begin To make obeisance at one another.
and they keep bending and bowling at
short intervals until they come together,
when they make that peculiar hiss by
drawing in the breath and keep on saying
'Ohayoh for about two minutes. The
young things, the "Moosmais," are very
charming and graceful III their greeting of
one another, but the old ladies are ornate
and elaborate in their address.
And the language has been framed with
a view TO the necessities of p%oliteness and
of difference in rank. care" with the
accent on the G, is the verb to be. If you
are talking TO a coolie. somebody very
much below you "are" is good enough
for "is." II you are talking to one u
little below yOu, or you wish To be polite
TO an underling, you use ''arimas." If
you are on formal terms with an equal,
you say ''gozarimas," and when you ad-
dress a nan high above you in rank you
make it "gozarimasuru." It's an elastic
language. and pulls out to almost any
length.-San Francisco Chronicle "Un-

What Saw the Purisfa1

A new verb, to "ante-pone, " has become
q claimant for public adoption. IT evil
IDENTIFY avoids the roundabout way i'm
which, by several words of a sentence, we
have been in the habit Of expressing the
idea which is the opposite of that on
tanned in the accepted word postpone"
This means to place after, in point of
time; ''ante-pone" means to place before,
in point of time. 1t is correctly formed
from two Latin words, and, in a literary
point of view, can scarcely be objected to.
1t will be a more condensed and a shorter
mode of expression to use single words
such as '~'ante-pone," ''ante-poned,"
''~ante-poning'' and "ante-ponement,"
than to write, as heretofore, sentences
stating that specified things which had
been fixed for a certain date were to come
off on a date prior to the n originally
intended. One word will satisfactorily
contain the whole idea.-Newport News.
