NOTHING TO EAT BUT ORANGES.
Six Wretched Stowaways Who Must
be Sent Back to Italy.

Six miserable and ragged stowaways came
into port at Philadelphia yesterday en- the Nor
wegian steamship Sleipner. They are Italians
and slowed away while the ship was loading at
Paimermo. They had about cents EACH and
will be sent home. They hid themselves away
the night before the vessel sailed and kept
below until six days out when they were dis
covered by the chief officer. All this time
they had nothing to eat but oranges from the
cargo and when brought on deck they were
too weak to stand. Their sufferngs must have
been intense, yet they seemed to be willing to
undergo the hardships in order to get to the
shores of America.
Boarding Officer Griffiths yesterday warned
Capt. Jonasen of the penalty that would be
enforced on the ship should they be allowed to
land. AS precautionary measure Capt. Jona-
sen had the wretched men locked UP III the
coal bunkers. They will be taken back to
Italy

The Desperate Leap of a Woman,


The body of Mrs. Beckie Gilmore was found
yesterday in the Susquehanna river, at Ever
harris Island, opposite Pittston, Pa. She was
about thirty years Of age. For the past few
years she had lived at Moosic, near Scranton
On Tuesday last she was arrested on the charge
Of keeping disorderly house. and the CON
stable, after hearing, started to take her to
the Lackawanna county Jail at Scranton. On
the way the train had to pass over the Susque-
hanna river on high bridge. When the train
was about the middle of the bridge Mrs. Gil
more jumped up. ran out of the coach and
sprang from the platform. She cleared the
strinSers OF the bridge and plunged into the
river, thirty feet below. The stream was very
swift and swollen, and though the train was
stopped and parties searched along both sides
OF the river and others put out in boats not a
trace of the woman could be found until her
body was recovered in the afternoon.
The rivers are still rising in and about Pitts
burg and the low lands djacent are partly un-
der water.
