A MOST HORRIBLE FATE
Fourteen Persons Roasted on a
Burning Steamer.
Negro FieDds Supposed to
Have Fired it.
Doing the Monkey and
Parrot Act.
Horrible Fate of "A steamboat.

VIoKsBURG, Miss, Oct. 29.-By the
burning Of the fine steamer Oliver Bierne,
at Milliken's Bend landing at an early
hour this morning. thirteen lives are
known to have been lost and it is feared
more. The boat was laid up at the land
ing about midnight. She had quite a
number of cabin passengers and over 200
''deckies," white men, enroute to various
levee works. There was a lot OF cotton
to be loaded at the landing and tho mate
had some trouble with the ~roustabouts
and a number of them quit work, after
which the mate hired white men. This
enraged the negroes who made open
threats against the mate and the boat.
At $3.50 this morning the cotton in the
deck room was discovered to be on fire
aud In a short time the entire boat was a
mass of flames. The passengers were
aroused and everything possible done to
avert the loss of life, but thirteen persons
are known to have persisted and it is
feared several of the unknown deck pas
senRers lost their lives. Most of those
rescued had to jump into the river, where
they were picked up BY a yawl. The fire
spread with such rapidity that they could
not get off the boat In any other a The
passengers lost everything. The survivors
OF the disaster were shown every kindness
by the citizens of Millikens Bend.
The list Of the lost reported bv Capt.
Thorwegen is: Two children OF DR.. Wor-
rell of Baton Rouge, Sam, V. Entriken,
two chambermaids, a daughter of Mr..
Adams OF Omaha, five cabin boys, nurse
of Mrs. Frazier of Natchez, Mrs. Woll-
idge OF New Orleans. 1t Is extremely
probable that a number OF ''deckles"
were also lost. A skiff reached here from
Duckfort this evening bearing the body
of an old white lady. which was found
c~linging to a bale of cotton floating down
the river. This morning nothing was
found on her person to identity her. 1t is
thought when the matters are fully set
tied it will be found that not less thar
twenty lives have been lost. Several em.
ployees upon the boat who exerted them
selves to save the passengers we're pain
fully burned. Some of the lady pas
sengers are in a critical condition from
fright aud injuries received. The boa
had over 700 bales Of cotton on board.

NEWARK, N. J., Oct. 29.-Patrick
Matthews of Harrison, has been in the
daily habit for years OF visiting Cranes
undertaking establishment and morgue in
Harrison to have a talk with the under
taker.. He was sitting reading in the
place Sunday night when the corpse of a
man killed on the railroad was carried
into the morgue. Accustomed to such
sights. he continued his reading, when
Mr.. Crane asked him to hold a light
while he washed the body and removed
the clothing. Mr.. Matthews got up, and,
taking a light, walked to the body. The
features were lndistInguishable. Mr..
Matthews bent over to look at the arm of
the dead man, and read some initials
printed on it. He started back, exclslm-
ing Stop Mr.. Crane; l believe it is my
son John" He was right. His son had
been killed on a train on the Morris &
Essex railroad half an hour before. His
son was 90 years old.

More Trouble In Samoa.

APIA. Samoa, Oct. 29.-On Oct. Is,
Baron Won Pilsacb, president OF the
municipal council and advisor to the king,
Mataafa, resigned, assigning as his
reasons hat certain white residents of
Samoa had been writing letters to the
king about German currency and other
papers, and that the king had written
direct to them in reply.
Pilsach is setting up the claim that no
one should either write or speak to the
king without his permission. Before he
resigned a memorial to the powers that
had been prepared by three c%onsuls, peti.
tioning the governments for the recall of
Plsach, because of inexperience and
wreckless behavior in Office. He retains
control of the funds collected. etc. The
white residents contend that his position
should not be filled at all, but that the
taxpayers should be allowed to elect the
mayor aud paw him a small salary. The
papers are full of the discussion as to the
expenses of the government.
Among other things, it is shown tina
while the total revenue collected was
$40, 900, the expenditures to Oct. 81
amounted TO over 1923, coo for salaries for
officials under the Berlin treaty and there
are many items for which no provision
was made. Mataafa has at last been pro.
claimed a rebel aud all his chiefs who are
supporting him have had their land
confisicated. The United States govern.
ment has informed Mataafa OF its
annoyance at his attitude and advises him
to break up his party at Maize. There
are only about 300 in the party but half
of the population are against the govern
ment, chiefly because of its inaction.
The attitude of the natives towards
the whites has changed lately because the
impression has gotten abroad that tho
whites are responsible for all the trouble
in Samoa. The chiefs express the opin-
ion that should another war break out
the whites in the outlying stations would
not be as safe as they formerly were. The
United States government has perfected
its title to some important and command
ing points at Pagopago and its coaling
stations is regarded as one of the strong
est positions 10 the South Pacific.

A Day Laborer Captures an HERES

A Day Laborer Captures an Heiress.
CLARKEsBURG, W. Va, Oct. 20
Social circles In Walker, Kanawha county,
are all agog over a quiet wedding which
has just occurred there between Miss Mary
Douglass, the beautiful II year-old child of
Capt. VIM, Douglass, a wealthy citizen,
and j. l.. Cordill, a day laborer on the
streets. The marriage occurred at the
residence OF the Rev. G. w. Cook. who
oficiated. In addition to the surprise
that this child OF fortune should select a
poor laborer many years her senior as her
life. partner, is the fact that for some time
Miss Douglas has been known as the
6ancee of Edward Berger, and so far
had preparations been made for the
marriage that Miss Douglass rousseau
was completed, and Berger had secured
the license and engaged the minister.
When he showed the license to Miss
Douglass she refused to marry him
without assigning any reason. They were
to have been married today. Soon after
she had refused Berger she took Cordill
and together they went to the clerks
office, secured a license, and thence to the
minister's home, where they we're
married
