Destruction by Fire nj the Historic Po-
tomac River steamer w. w. Corcoran.
WAsHINGToN, Sept. 4.-Fire Thurs
day morning destroyed the steamer w.
W. Corcoran, lying at her wharf at the
foot of Seventh street. She was
valued at S45.OOO One life was lost
that of cnlored boy named ROBIN
son, whose escape from the bow was
cut off by fire and he jumped over
board and was drowned.
THE Corcoran was one Of the best known
vessels in he country, for II has carried tour.
lists by the hundreds OF thousands to Mount
Vernon and the tomb of Washington. Under
the arrangement with the Mount Vernon Asso-
citation the Corcoran had the monopoly OF
carrying passengers, rs none OF the
other craft which ply the Potomac
could touch at the landing. The steamer
was built in New York In 1878 for Capt. L. L.
Blake and Col. Joseph G. McKibben, two Of
California's '4oers. II Was named after the
millionaire philanthropist, w. w. Corcoran.
The steamer had . remarkable record never
having been In . collision or damaged during
route, and there was not . single life
lost on or from the boat. During that
twelve years 1t Is estimated that
fully l,l06,0OO passengers were carried up and
down the river. Among the persons carried
were digRitaries Of all countries. and number
of special trips have been made to take presi
dents, cabinet ofiicers and others TO the tomb
OF washington. Last year Q new boat called
the Charles Manchester replaced the Corcoran
for regular Mount Vernon business, though II
continued on the riyer.l

THOUSANDS ARE IDLE.

Dire Results Follow tho Labor Strikes Of
London w Must Appeal to America-
workmen Here viii Bs Called Upon
for Aid.
LONDON, Sept 4.-Nearly every day
is bringing to the metropolis reports Of
trade and labor troubles, and despite
the fact of the opening of the winter
season being SO near at hand there
seem to be more disputes between capi-
tai and labor than ever before. The dis
pute in the building trades of London
is now eighteen weeks old, and all that
time nearly 5000 men have been idle.
The London united trade committee
and the various carpenters trades
unions have expended for strike nay
and organizing expenses nearly $500, 600,
and second appeal to the building
trades of the United States
for assistance will be issued on Satur-
day. The first appeal was not produc-
tive OF much spot cash. In West Cum
berland 5000 men and boys hitherto
employed in the steel department Of
the West Cumberland iron and steel
works are idle, owing to the bad con-
dition Of the business of the firm. and
great distress prevails The strike in
the Queens Hill shipbuilding works
at Belfast shows no signs of being
brought to an amicable conclusion. Fiji
teen hundred hands are out In the
Greenock foundries, too, only about
one-fourth of the force is at work. Two
thousand engineers in the employ Of
the Thames iron works in the ship
building yards are on strike.

OMAHA, Neb., Sept. 3-During .
severe rainstorm at Grand Island,
where the state grand army and Sons
of Veterans reunion is being held, .
lightning bolt struck the camp. Two
lieutenants and four sergeants Of
cavalry troop X were seated in the
first sergeant's tent The lightning
struck the tent scattering the splinters
in all directions. Nine men were
struck. When the alarm was
given the two lieutenants and
four sergeants were found lying fat
in the tent with their heads buried in
the debris. The guards were found
lying on the ground. The doctors be-
lieve that all will recover. The tent
was wrecked and it is believed that had
it not been for the metal on the pole
many people in the surrounding tents
would have been killed. On the arms
and legs Of the injured there appear
great knots produced by the electric
1uid. The injured men are suffering
intense pain but their comrades are
doing all in their power to relieve
their sufferings.

DEL RIO. Tex, Sept. photographic
news from Samuels, Tex. a small sta
ton on the Southern Pacific railway,
located in q thinly-settled section OF
this county about 40 miles from this
place, gives thrilling account Of dar-
fng train robbery committed by mount
ed men at that place shortly after
midnight Tuesday night. Dynamite
and Winchesters were used as .
means of intimidating the express mes
senger and gaining entrance to his car.
All the money and valuables In tho
safe in the express car were secured by
the robbers, as well as several sacks
Of mail and registered package
from the mail car. The amount
of money obtained cannot be learned,
but It is said il will reach into the
tens of thousands. The train was just
pulling out from the station when six
masked men, who had selected their
positions, simultaneously mounted
the engine, mail car and ex-
press car, two men for each
Of these positions Over forty shots
were fired, literally perforating the
baggage and express car without in
Jury to anyone. Then an unexpected
mode Of procedure was adopted
that OF exploding dynamite car
fridge against . small window
in the express car. The effect
Of this was to tear the window
out and otherwise damage the car.
The express messenger was stunned,
but recovered in a few moments only
to be overpowered by the robbers and
made to give up his safe key. The
train was delayed several hours. The
robbers took their time in do
ing the job and with the ut
most GOODNESS and exhibition Of
nerve. Horses were in readiness
for them and on completion Of their
work the bandits rode rapidly away.
