-FOUR PERSONS DROWNED.

Two Fathers Lose Their Lives in Attempt
ing to Save Their -ChiIdren-sad End
ing to a Pleasure Party.
MCKEEsPoRT, Pa, July 5.-At 3
o'clock yesterday afternoon Mr.. and
Mrs. John Thompson and their two
children-Eliza, aged years, and an in
FAINT in arms-and Mr.. and Mrs. Rich
ard Smith with their two children
Priscilla, little girl, and Robert, aged
15-got into fiat bottomed skitf for
row on the Youghiogheny, The
Thompsons and Smiths are neighbors,
very respectable people, and the party
was as pleasant as could be
imagined. All went well for a
short time. But when the party
was opposite the foot of Eleventh
street, McKeesport, the stern of the
skiff, in which the woman and children
We're seated, gave away. In another
moment the boat sank, and all its occu-
pants were struggling in the water,
which is quite deep at the point where
the accident occurred.
1t Was a Time to Try Mems Souls.
The fathers, being expert swimmers,
could easily have saved themselves But
their first thoughts were for the helpless
ones. Mrs. Thompson clung to her
baby, and after struggle her husband
succeeded in getting her and the child
ashore. Thompson was exhausted, but
2-year-old Eliza, the joy of his home,
was still in the water. Giving no
thought to himself, John Thompson
again plunged into the river. He struck
out bravely, desperately for the place
where his child had gone down. But it
was too late. The little one had risen
for the last time. Realizing this, the
father discovered too late that his
strength was gone, and, with despair
ing cry,
He Sank Under the Water,
ont of the sight of the wife who was
watching and praying on the bank.
Richard Smith met the fate of Thomp
son. He also saved his wife, and then
plunged into the water again to rescue
his little daughter, Priscilla. The little
girl was drowned before her father
could reach her, and Smith, GOO weak to
swim the river the second time, was also
drowned. Robert Smith, the boy,
swan to the shore. Mrs. Thompson is
in delicate condition and the shock
was so great that she is lying at her
home under care of two doctors, who
despair of her recovery. Mrs. Smith is
also confined to her bed, but her condi-
ton is not considered serious.

NO FOOD OF ANY KIND.
TIE NUMBER OF DEATHS FROM
STARVATION is APPALLING.

CAIRO. July 7.-Advices have reached
here that the famine which has for
some time past prevailed in the Soudan
is increasing rapidly. Thousands of
natives are without food of any kind
and the reported number of deaths from
starvation is APPALLING. With the re-
ports of this dreadful state of affairs
come horrible stories of cannibalism,
which is also said to be on the increase
1t was reported not long ago the dead
were being eaten by the famlshed sur
vivors, but the present advices repre-
sent matters as still worse. 1t is now
asserted that large numbers of men,
women and children are deliberately
put to death that they may serve as
food for their frenzied companions.
Relief has been extended to these un-
happy people as far as possible, but not
sufficiently to allay the terrible suffer
ing in the interior settlements which are
beyond reach.

LITTLE ROSES BIRTHDAY.


The mysteries of time and space are
hard for little minds to grasp, and the
questions of children on these subjects
are natural, although they often sound
odd enough. Little Rose, whose fourth
birthday came around not long ago,
could not get her small mind clear about
the extent to which that anniversary ex-
tended.
Mamma" she said, "this is truly
my birthday, is MT it?"
Yes, dear"
"But is it my birthday all over the
world?"
"Yes."
"Then does everybody in the whole
world know that it is my birthday?"
"Why, no; L am afraid. my dear, that
there are very few people who know it."
"Then," Rose said, with an air of con-
viction, "you may think, mamma, that
it is my birthday all over the world, but
you must be mistaken, or folks would
have to know it."

The Frail Conveyance Nearly Meets With

Boston, July THE balloon which
left Lowell on the Fourth under the
command of Professor Allen, and car
rying Miss Lottie E. Anderson and Mr.
Charles G. Stowell, who had just been
married by the Rev. w. W. Downs, of
Boston, on their wedding tour, landed
in the woods about mile west of By
field Saturday night. After getting as
near heaven as welded bliss and hydro
gen gas could take them, Mr.. and Mrs.
Stowell were brought to a realizing
sense of earthly things by the balloon
coming down between two tall pines,
where it became wedged. As all the
ballast had been expended it would not
rise. This was an awkward position for
the bride, who could not have reached
terra fr1na, but the bridegroom gallantly
climbed out of the basket and down to
the earth. By so doing he caused the
balloon to ascend from its entangle-
ment, and when it again descended it
was taken to safe anchorage.

She foresaw. Two persons had already
died in her arms of the dreadful disease.
She SAYS that she has received the most
generous reception from all whom she

of the receiving hospital is SO pleased
with her work that he insists that she
shall remain there at any rate until the
government is able TO furnish some one
to supply her place. In company with

the care of the lepers and the physicians

now than at the reception hospital.

A TERRIBLE EXPLOSION.
FIFTY POUNDS OF BLASTING POWDER
ExPLoDES IN A GROCERY.

SCOTT HAVEN, Pa. July "A terri
BILE explosion of powder occurred at In
dustry, one mile from here, about $50
p. m. Saturday, from which four have
died and three may recover. The ex-
plosion took place in the grocery store
of August Smith. The building is a
modern structure 20x4O feet, two stories
high, and is occupied by Smith as a liv-
ing apartment and store building. The
following is list of those injured:
Mary Smith, aged 10 months, burned on
head, face and arms; will recover.
Charlie Shaul. years old, burned about
Emma Smith. years old, arms and feet
burned; not serious.
These Were Fatally Injured.
Johnny Brauner, aged 10 years, soles of feet
blown off, flesh completely off his legs from
knees down. face and head burned to a crisp;
totally blind. Died shortly after.
Georgia kahler, age years, whole body
burned. severe wound across left cheek, flesh
on legs torn off in many places. Died during
the night.
Willie Kahler, age years, burned on head
breast aud stomach, flesh on right leg partly
torn off. Died yesterday.
August Smith, Jr.. age "a years. who stood
next to the powder can when it exploded both
one leg broken. Died one hour after.
The children had been allowed to play
in the ftore, and it was sort of resort
for all the children in the neighborhood.
They had been firing torpedos, crackers,
ETC., all day. August Smith, Jr., aged
IA. had a large cannon frecracker,
which he had in his hand, and intended
throwing it out of the door, but it ex-
ploded in his hand, and part of it flew
into a keg of blasting powder containing
about fifty pounds.
A Deafening Explosion Followed,
wrecBing the storeroom, blowing out
the windows, throwing the door into the
middle of the street and completely
shattering the whole structure. The
fhelves of the store fell down upon the
poor unfortunates, breaking their legs
and arms. Their clothing was all
burned off their persons. The explosion
set fire to the building and but for the
timely arrival of several men who were
in the vicinity and extinguished the
angry flames, a greater calamity would
have resulted, as several kegs of powder
were in the cellar. and it is miraculous
that it was not set off. A score of ply
sicians were on the ground shortly after,
doing all that was possible to alleviate
the suffering of the little ones. 1t was
heartrending to hear the tiny voices
calling for water, which could not be
given them.
