PROVIDENCE (R. L., Sept. 6.-In view
of hundred spectators two men were
literally roasted alive with water forty feet
deep all about them. The city has pro-
cess of disposing Of its garbage swiu by
treating it with naphtha, a large tank OF
which was lying on the banks of the
WOmasQuatucket River. The tank be-
gan to leak and the river became COW
cred with thick coating Of intiammable
stuff.
Just below the tank there was raft on
which was an engine and pile-driver
worked by three men. There names
were Patrick Nagle and Patrick Fen
messy of Providence, and Phinear Gam
nell Of Pawtucket.
The outgoing tide carried the naphtha
to the pile-driver, which was completely
surrounded, and the gases arising from
it were ignited by the fire under the
boiler, and instantly the pile-driver was
ablaZe, and a fearful flame and heavy
black cloud of smoke hid the raft and
pile-driver from sight, but while the
smoke was rolling up there were heard
the most agOniZing screams from the men
on the raft.
An alarm, was given and when the fire
was subdued the three men were found
blackened on the raft rolling in their
frenzy and agony. They had been pinned
in by a solid sheet of fire and had been
roasted. Every bit of the skin on Nagles
face hands, arms and legs came off like
an old glove, as we'll as the thumb and
finger nails. GammeN was not so badly
burned, but his injuries are very serious

FEVER-sTRICKEN VESSEL.
The Bark Royal Tar Has a Memorable
Voyage From Australia.

Voyage From Australia.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 6.-The bark
Royal Tar, from Australia, anchored in
quarantine this morning, reporting fever
and scurvy on board, and the Captain and
First Mate both dead. Dr. Lawler, Quar-
antine Officer, sent the sailors to the Ma
rine Hospital. On his return to shore he
stated that they were in fearful condi-
ton, caused by the foulness of the shin
and shortness of provisions and medi-
ciHes.
The Royal Tar left Australia on June
5th, with Captain L. A. Franklin, two
mates, four seamen and boy. Very soon
after starting the most abominabIe
stenches arose from the hold, and in a
few days all on board became i'll. June
18th the Captain was down with malig-
nant typhus fever. Then it was found
that the medicine chest had not been
1illed, and nothing could be done for him.
The last day OF August the Captain
died and was buried. Then the first
mate fell i'll with fever and died. Second
mate John Mccall took command and
succeeded in getting through without
further deaths, though all on board were
i'll with fever.
In July all the stores gave out except
tea and flour, and on this the crew had 10
live. There were no anti-Scorbutics on
board, and the men suffered iearfully.
Ten days ago the German bark Hydra
gave them little meat and quinine.
The appearance of the men is frightful,
Some are toothless, and others pitted and
SCARED with gangrene. 1t is believed
that the lives of all viii be saved by care
and rest

The Lady Managers Adopt a Resolution
in Favor of Closing on Sundays.
CHICAGO, Sept. 6.-The Worlds Fair
Board OF Lady Managers yesterday, by a
vote of So to sc, adopted a resolution de-
claring in favor of closing the fair on
Sundays. Arguments in favor Of the
resolution were made by Bishop Fowler
and Miss Frances L. Willard. Stirring
addresses on the opposite side were made
by Mrs. Bagley of Michigan, Mrs. Isa-
bella Beecher- Hooker and Mrs. Traut
man of New York, who contended that
the fair should be opened Sundays for
the benefit of the poor, who could not go
at other times.
Mrs. Hooker said: "Open the great fair
on Sunday; make it great Sunday
school; invite the world, regardless of re-
ligion, to come and learn Of the great
works Of man that are made possible by
God"
When the roll was called on the resolu-
ton several members declined to an
swer. Some one suggesting they should
be required to vote on the question,
about twenty-five ladies left the room.
Had they remained and voted il was as
serted that the resolution would have
been defeated by a small majority.

IN CASE OF A DOGS BITE
Pasteur's American Representative
Tells What You Should Do.

PaSteur'S American Representative
Tells What You Should Do.
If you are unfortunate enough to be
bitten by dog, waste no time in sending
for physician. But the wound requires
instant attention, writes DIR. Paul Gibier
in the Ladies Home Journal. First,
wash it Immediately with clean, tepid
water. If this is not readily obtainable,
clean water of any temperature will
answer. This will do until physician
arrives. If you should be so situated
that physician cannot attend upon you,
then act:
After flushing out the wound with
clean water, apply, by means of glass
dropper, a powerful antiseptic. I regard
peroxide of hydrogen (medicinal) as the
best compound.
Don't cauteriZe. In my opinion it is
needlessly painful operation, and is very
seldom accomplished soon enough to
prevent the hydrophobic infection from
taking place.
Having applied the antiseptic Cperox-
ide of hydrogen to the sore, take care not
to remove the white foam that VIII be
generoted. Let it remain until it disap-
pears, which will occur in few min
uteS. This being DONE a compress of alb
sorbent cotton, soaked in the peroxide of
hydrogen, should be laid over the sore,
with an over-cOvering of oiled silk.
Twice every day the wound should be
dressed in the same manner, with the ex-
ception that the peroxide of hydrogen,
instead of being used full strength
should be diluted, half and half, with
clean water-tepid or filtered water being
preferable.
The subsequent treatment depends
upon the condition Of the dog that in
tticted the wound. Don't kill the ami
NAL unless it shows evident symptoms of
hydrophobia. Have it placed securely
in safe place. If, at the expiration of
one week, or not more than two weeks, il
has not shown any abnormal symptoms,
the patient need not fear.
II, on the contrary, the animal sickens
and dies, the patient should be treated by
the Pasteur method as quickly as pos
sible. The sooner the better. At tho
same time the contents of the dogs stom-
ach and a portion of it's spinal marrow,
in glycerine, should be sent to the Pas
teur Institute, us West Tenth street,
New York City, where experiments may
decide whether the animal died with hy-
drophobia or not.
Should the animal have been shot or
otherwise killed, it is advisable that the
patient should submit at once to the Pas
teur treatment, for two reasons: first, be-
cause it is harmless; second, because it's
efficacy has been proved beyonda doubt,
over fifteen thousand persons having
been inoculated since PaSteur's discov-
cry.
In case the animal remains in good
health, it is unnecessary that the patient
submit to incubation.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 6. = Charles r.
Eye and E. L. Mcguire, formerly indlvid-

were arrested last night charged with
making false entries in the ledgers and
making such statements as would tend to
deceive the Bank Examiners. 1t is ex-
pected that another arrest upon the same
charge will be made tomorrow. The ar
rest of Mcguire and Eye We're made upon
an affidavit sworn out by the Government
accountants, who have been examining
the books of the bank. Late tonight
Mcguire and Ege were brought before
United States Commissioner Craig and
released in $4,000 bail, for hearing on
Tuesday next. The method alleged to
have been pursued in their falsifications
Of the ledgers was TO decrease the balances
of the depositors. Up to yesterday morn
ing, when he was dismissed, Ege had
been helping Receiver Yardly straighten
out the books of the bank.

The Condition at Liberia Worse Than
in the South Before the War.
New YORK, Sept. George B. Parks,
mulatto belonging in Atlanta, Ca,
with his family, consisting of wife and
seven children, arrived yesterday. he is
an intelligent man, carpenter by trade,
and tells an interesting story of the con-
dition OF affairs in Liberia, Africa. On
the I'D of last May, lured by promises of
the Society for the Promotion of Coloni-
Zation in Liberia, he sailed TO that place.
On landing at Moravia, he found the
country in most debauched condition.
The American negroes who already emf
grated there had assumed most tyran-
nical rule over the natives. No part of
the ground was under cultivation.
Parks has been a slave in the South,
but he says the condition of slavery in
Liberia is worse than in Georgia before
the war. Parks, because he would not
deal in human flesh, was ostracised by
the negroes from America. After spend
ing twenty-one days he concluded to
return.

Sr. PETERSBURG, Sept. 6.-Newspapers
here express confidence that in view of
the entente cordiale between France and
Russia, the powers will hesitate to pro-
test against Turkeys concession to Rus
sia as regards the Dardanelles, for fear of
raising thorny questions regarding
Bosnia, Cyprus and Egypt, while
Turkey, strengthened with the knowl-
edge that the Franco-Russian entente is
counterpoise to the dreibund, will not

SAN Francisco, Sept. 6.-Associated
Press correspondence from Somoa, per
| steamer Mariposa, says: The country is
in state of great unrest. Mataafa is still
at Malic, with three or four hundred
men, and has sent out messengers again
to raise party in his behalf He has
been told that the United States would
not send any more ships to Samoa.
When the Iroquois arrived he was per-
suaded that she came in his interest.
1t is generally understood that the
Government is only waiting the arrival
of an English ship to make Joint dem
onstration and to punish the natives who
refuse to obey Malietoa. Unless some
action is taken without delay there will
be trouble.
The great cause of complaint among
the natives is the way the salary list is
climbing up. Two Swedish gentlemen
came out with the Chief Justice to act AS
Clerk of the court and Marshal, the only
positions in his gift. AS it turned out
there was nothing in these places, two
new places were created for them-Chief
of Police and Secretary to the Chief
Justice. The people, however, have con-
uuenc6 III lne Cnle1 JQStlce'S lmpartlallty.
The only objection is that he is very slow.
There is much dissatisfaction because
of the acts of the President, Baron Senft
Won Pilsack. He is German and best
for the Germans. The currency question
is the burning question of the hour. A
German firm imported a number of sill
yer marks from Germany some time ago,
and wished to pass them at gold value in
payment of taxes, etc. Most of
these coins are very old marks of
Wurtemburg and other small princi-
palities. The residents object to them, as
they cannot pass them except at a dis
count in America and the Colonies. The
President, however, insists that they be
received. The King and Government
decided that they would not take them,
but the President again ordered them to
do so or Germany would be angry. They
again refused, but still Pilsack declines
TO accept their decision, and the question
is still open.

nous bald eagle swooped down and seized
the child. The Indian mother rushed out,

dropped the babe, which was evidently
too heavy for it. The fall caused it's
death. The bird made another plunge for
its victim, but was fought OF by the
mother until the arrival OF her husband,
who shot if
