WESTERN UNION MENAcED.

A Bill Passed BY the SENATE Canceling Ex-
elusive Privileges.
WASHINGTON, July 2O.-The Senate has
passed very important bill with respect
to the use of telegraph lines constructed
along the lines of railroads which have re-
ceived bonds or land subsidies from the
General Government. The bill, in short,
provides that existing contracts which
have been entered into between certain Of
these roads and the Western Union Com
pany, under which the Western Union is
given the exclusive control of all telegraph
business on the lines Of these respective
roads, shall be at once cancelled aud that
these subsidized roads shall forthwith
maintain and operate the telegraph lines
which they own, ON their own account, and
shall make rates which are just, equitable
and uniform to all competing companies
and shall make no discrimination between
competing telegraph companies which de-
sire to use telegraph lines on these roads
as a means of connection between the At
lantic and Pacific coasts. This bill is the
ou:growth of an agitation which COM
menced in Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa.
1t originated primarily in the effort of the
Baltimore & Ohio Company, when it existed,
to secure q connection to Colorado and the
West. The subsidized railroads in ques-
ton had entered into contracts with the
Western Union Company, which still ex-
list, under the terms of which the telegraph
lines along these roads were placed under
the sole control of the Western Union
Company.

SEVEN SHIPPERS PERISH.


Un3ocountable Explosion On ~ Ohio River
B0at-Seven Victims.
LOUIsviLLE, KY, July 90.-The explo-
sion Of the steam pipe that Supplied the
engine from the boilers caused the death
of seven men Of the crew Of the tugboat
Convoy at lao O'Clock this morning. Tho
accident occurred twenty miles mp tho
river from Westport, Ind. Most Of the
men were asleep at the time.
The following were the victims: William
Page, about q years old, residence un.
known; w. L. Harrigan, 16 years old,
Soho, Pa; Robert Jones, about s. years
old, married, Jacks Run, Pa; William
Bigley, ~ years old, married, Allegheny
City, Pa; Charles Luster, 50 years Of age,
Jacks Run, Pa; George McCann, "A years
old, Pittsburgh; William Kelley, about
% ysars old, residence unknown.
When the boat reached Westport, every
thing. according to the first mates story,
was running smoothly. He took . walk
back to the cabin and found all quiet. He
stopped and talked to his friend George
McCann, who was lying on lower berth
near the door. Tho latter half rose in his
bed and remarked: "I'll soon be at homo
with my family" Then he laid down and
went to sleep. The mate returned to the
pilot house and was conversing with Cap.
tain Reno, the pilot.
Suddenly there was terrific explosion,
the whole boat became enveloped in steam
and the machinery stopped. The captain
called his men and the boat was lowed
ashore and made fast. William Page was
found dead near the door Of the after
cabin, where the explosion occurred. The
III md
ears and the flesh was scalded of his body.
William Harrigan wac found in his
berth. His death must have been in.
stantaneous, for he lay in the same
position a. when he retired. Robert
Jones was on the floor. He was horribly
burned and lived but fifteen minutes.
He died with his wife's name on his
lips. William Bigley was still alive whom
found, but died in ten minutes. Charles
Luster was found outside of the cabin,
lying on his face. He was not dead and
told them that he had to run out there as
soon as he could recover from the shock Of
the explosion. 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. George Mccain
lay dead in exactly the same position he
was in when the first mate left him but
half an hour before. Kelley was pulled
out from under his bunk and was alive,
but he was also terribly burned.
Charles Chambers, the other man who
slept in the cabin, was blown out Of the
door and had q miraculous escape.
The officers of the boat can give no ex-
PLANTATION of the accident and claim the
machinery was inspected last February
and was then in excellent condition. An
inquest will be held this afternoon.

debris OF all kinds, tho bridge suddenly
gave way, participating all who were
standing on il into the food.
The number Of people who were on The
bridge Is not known; the estimates vary
from twenty to thirty. Eight persons
were rescued at distance Of . mile from
the point where the bridge was located,
and it 10 feared that from ten to twenty
persons have persisted. The city Is in
tensely agitated over the disaster and
persons whose whereabouts can not be a..

Der.
At Caldwell's run, in the lower part Of
the city, fddr dwellings were swept away

A young man named Homan, the wife and
four children Of Thomas Hawley, three
members Of the family Of John Stensell, Q
dairyman, and two visitors at his house
are among those believed to be drowned,
and 1t is feared there are more to be in.
cluded in the number.
The railroad tracks on both sides of the
river above and below the city have been
covered with debris from the hillside and
bridges have been either washed away or

The storm was the most severe known
here since 1855.
A substantial bridge on the suburbaa
Elm Grove motor line at Leatherwood was
washed away. The loss in the city will
reach $50, 600, and the damage to crops in
the country is inestimable.

ported. A man named Keltz was washed
away by BOgg's run and he and his horse
drowned.
Four lives were lost at Elm Grove, i've

A SQUEAllNG ANARCHIST.
Ono Of the Chicago Anarchists Tells q
Story Of the Dynamite Plot.

story Of the Dynamite Plot.
| CHICAGO, July 19-Frank Chleboun, the
brown-haired, blue-eyed, sweet-voiced
fiend, who, with John Hronek and Frank
| Chapek schemed to murder Judge Gary,
| Judge Grinnell and Inspector Bonfield,
has made full and complete confession.
Chleboun was not locked up at the armory
yesterday, as were the other two, and
when Chapek was taken to the Central
| station and Hronek 10 Jail Chleboun was
sent to an outlying police station. He was
not subjected, as were the others, to the
ordeal Of having his picture taken for the
rogues' gallery.
Last night Inspector Bonfield, accompa-
MED by two of his Bohemian secret service
operatives, clad in wOrkingmen's suits with
soft black hats and blue flannel shirts
visited the innocent looking prisoner. The
preceding day he had intimated that he
was ready to tell all he knew and last even.i
ing the inspector went to hear his story.
Through the interpreters Chleboun went
into the whole story from his first meeting
with Hronek and Chapek.
His confession was that Hronek had un.
folded his plan for revenge, and had told
of a bomb which he (Hronek) had invent
ed. It was small-no larger than q base
bell-and it was to be loaded with dyna-
mite and bits Of broken glass. It was de-
MED by Chleboun that the plot was to muir.
der the Judges and inspector. That is, he
heard of no such definite scheme. They
were talked of, rs was Captain Schaak,
and he understood that he was to pay
more attention to the Captain than to any
one else. There was NO concerted plan Of
action, bnt it was agreed that when all
preparations are made he and two others
were to be informed by Hronek just what
they were to do in the way of avengins
the death Of the martyrs.
About July he was visited by Hronek,
who brought him two bombs of the broken
glass variety and two sticks Of dynamite,
from which he was to make bombs of gas
pipe after the usual pattern. The other
two men were also supplied with bombs
and dynamite. He had the stuff in his
house Tor about week and then grew 20
afraid that it would be discovered that he
threw it away.
This was the substance of the confession.
The confession is much more in detail and
covers about thirty closely printed pages.
BY his confession, it is understood, Chile
boun has virtually secured immunity from
prosecution. He is in reality much less
guilty than either Hronek, Chapek or ono
of the men not yet arrested. He has agreed
O give his testimony in open court whore
it will corroborate the other evidence Sc
cured by the inspector against the con-
spirators. The other men are still at large
but may be arrested at any time.

ut is rather singular, }" said the clerk, smil.
ing. but such things happen here every day.
That customer is we'll known in the social
world. She has got the quinine habit, which
will kill her in the end. There is too much
OF this quinine business going on, but we
have to keep up with the times. That lady
exhausted herself in social and charitable
visits, and then began to take a five grain
pill of quinine to brace up ON. She did it
by the advice Of a friend. From five grains
every evening she advanced to fifteen, and
soon she will want twenty. She likes to
look cheerful and feel well when she goes
out with her husband, and, having be.
come q slave to quinine, she takes it as q
stimulant, but her husband is ignorant of
the habit. It is far worse than drinking
alcoholic liquor, and we frequently advise
our quinine patients to brace MP on whisky
or brandy and let quinine alone."-N. r.
