Terrible ACCIDENT.
Family of Pleasure-Seekers Blown Up in
q Naphtha Launch.

Family of Pleasure-Seekers Blown Up in
Naphtha Launch.
BUFFALO August 7th.-This afternoon
bystanders near the boat-houses at the foot
of Ferry street heard two explosions in
quick succession from the boat. house of J..
B. Crocker, Superintendent of the New
York stock-ysrds in which his pleasure
yacht, the Cedar Ridge, was stored. I'M
mediately following the boat burst into
flames, which soon made furnace of the
the interior. simultaneously with the ex-
plosions two or three persons were thrown
into the water, as if from the force of the
charge. Caleb Tolsome got a bost and
picked up q young woman named Miss
Mclean, aged 28, from the water. She was
badly burned, and was taken to a hospital
At this time the form OF Mr. Crocker's
Young son was seen standing on the boat
deck against the background of fire.
Charles Schweigels seized a pike pole
and extended it TO the little fellow till it
almest touched his breast, at the same
time crying to him to grasp it, and he
would rescue him.
But the little fellow seemed paralyzed
and in moment fell back into the fire
and was burned to crisp before the horri-
fed gaze of the on-lookers.
Schweizels' face was burned in his at
tempt to rescue the boy.
Now attention was directed to carpenter
clingipg to the rafters just over the blazing
boat. For few moments he hung desper-
ately on his perch and then, as if stupefied
by the heat and suffocated by the smoke,
be loosened his hold and dropped into the
furnace below. His name was John Ru-
genstein and he was 80 years old. He
leaves q wife and FIVE small children.
Other children of Crocker-Leonard
Lemuel, a son. aged 9years and 10 months,
and Ethel, daughter, aged years and 9
months-aiso perished in the flames
Another girl-Charlotte, aged 14-was
blown into the water and rescued there
from and sent along with Miss Mclean to
the hospital.
The yacht is what was known as a
naphtha launch, 1un by naphtha oil for fuel.
1t is supposed that the accident was caused
when the engineer lit match for the igui-
ton Of the fuel, by the explosion of gas
which had leaked out.
The family was preparing to go on
pleasure trip and Mr.. Crocker had taken
his four children and Miss Mclean, lady
friend from Detroit, who is stopping with
the family.
Crocker himself barely escaped with his
life. He is almost insane with grief. His
wife has been ilr for some time, and this
blow will probably kill her. The condi-
ton of the surviving daughter and Miss
Mclean was reported serious but not nee
essary fatal at late hour tonight.

DENVER, August 7th.-A special received
here this afternoon says that Rio Grande
western train, No. 3, known as The Mo-
doc" was held up near Prevasse last night
by train robbers. Two of them boarded
the baggage car at Thompson Springs
They climbed over the car to the engine
and poin led revolvers at the heads of the
engineer and fireman, and compelled them
to stop the train. they forced the fireman
to attempt to chop through the doors of
the express-car and made the engineer
bring a bag to hold the plumber
Messenger Willis was ready with a mag
azine shotgun and two self cooking re-
volvers.
The fireman was unable to chop through
the boiler-iron door, 50 the robbers fred
dozen shots through. Messenger Willis
lay upon the floor and was not hit The
robbers dared not show their heads at the
broken windows lest they should get shot
They gave it up and Joined two other rob-
bers back in the other cars.
-Four went through the train with their
revolvers drawn and gathered 5000 and
twenty watches.
One passenger put his head out of the
window TO see what YVES going on and one
of the robbers, sent q bullet through his
hat
Most of the passengers hid their valua-
bies successfully, those losing them being
too frightened to hide them.
A posse has gone from Green river, and
two Deputy United States Marshais went
out this morning from Salt Lake with
bloodhounds.

berry occurred. is a small station fifty-four

mesa, which presents all the characteristics
of a sandy desert. As soon as the robbers
had taken their departure the train pro-
eeeded TO Green river, about thirty-five
miles distant, where posse of officers and
men were at once started for the robbers.
The fact of the robbery was also telegraphed
10 Grand Junction, from whence a second
party was sent out in charge of the Divi-
sion Superintendent of the road. 1t is sup
posed that the robbers fled north or south to
the high river bluffs and canyons along the
many streams in that part of the State,
where pursuit will be difficult and hazard

a very good description can be given,
and the officers and detectives will be sta
toned over all avenues of escape
This is the first attempt at holding up
the Rio Grande express since the Smith
brothers successfully turned the trick near
the State line in 1877. To an Associated
Press representative to night G. A. Kramer,
General Manager for the Denver and Rio
Grande Express Company, stated that,
although his company were losers only to
the extent of badly riddled car and about
fifty rounds of ammunition, nothing posi-
bic will be left undone to ferret out and
capture the robbers.

WASHINGTON, August 7;h.-The New
York World correspondent has forwarded
to New York the following: The question
OF filling the vacancy in the Supreme
Court, created by the death OF the late JUS
uce Matthews, has been settled. Secretary
Noble is the successful man. The Presi-
dent wanted to nominate his friend and
old law partner Attorney General Miller.
but learned that the nomination would re.
suit as did the nomination OF Halstead TO
be Minister to Germany. As soon as Con-
gress meets Noble will be nominated Assc-
ciate Justice of the Supreme Court, and
although many Republicans have already
expressed the opinion that he should never
have been in the Cabinet, the President is
pretty well assured that the Senate will
confirm the nomination to the Supreme
Court.
Before that time, however, Commissioner
Tanner will be unloaded from the Pension
Office, just as Land Commissioner Sharks
was dispensed with before Secretary Lamar
was transferred from the Interior Depart
nent to the Supreme Bench. Noble. as
Secretary OF the Interior, will be succeeded
by General Clarkson. "a present First As
sistant Postmaster General.
President Harrison hopes 10 install his
friend Miller on the Supreme Bench later.
He also hopes that during his Presidential
term Justices Miller, Bradley and Field
will retire, SIS they are qualified to do, and
that ne may then have things fixed so as
to put Miller into one of these holes.

copy OF the new law on French nationality.
Under the provisions of this Act the son of

The naturalization abroad Of a French.
man who has not complied with the mill
