THE BORLD'S FAIR.
Delaware's Art ExhibIt--How the State
Commission is Handicapped.

fiuIulcuDUtu.
The women members of the State
Worlds Fair Commission are enthusiastic
over the proposed Autograph of the State
building. 1t has been resolved by the
commission that each step in the produc-
ton of the Autograph must have the sane
ton of the women members, and that no
pictures shall be sold or given away except
by their authority, 1t is expected that the
Autograph will arouse enthusiasm among
the people of this State.
Mrs. J. Frank Ball, member of the
executive board, in looking for art objects
has discovered a number of artists OF
whom the general public have no knowl-
edge and has received pr,&lses of num-
Der of interesting exhibits. She has asso-
ciated with her in this work Mrs. l.. A..
Kittinger, who is an enthusiastic art
worker. Mrs. Kittinger paints in oil and
has number of excellent pictures that
are prize winners at local exhibits. She
has also some beautifully decorated china
of her own decoration. She is decidedly
opposed 10 the idea of there being very
little art sentiment in Wilmington. Mrs.
Ball suggests that the committee on art
accept all pictures offered for decorative
purposes in the Delaware building.
General kenney, who is executive officer
of the state commission, says the agricul-
tural department will be well filled with
interesting exhibits. In the mechanical
department he is not able to report many
important applications for space in the
fair building. The commission is heavily
handicapped by the small appropriation
for its expenses nude by the last General
Assembly,

A VESSEL BLOWN TO PIECES
An Appalling Accident in the
River Near Bordeaux.
A GREAT EXPLOSION OF GAS
Destroys the Steamer Petrolia
of Philadelphia.


BORDEAUX, June i4.-An appalling acct
dent occurred today, just outside, the
harbor of Blaye on the river Gironde, "a
miles northeast of this city. Lying off the
harbor was the British steamer Petrolia,
which had arrived June 18th from Phila-
delphia. The usual routine work was being
performed OIL board, when suddenly there
was flash, tremendous roar and the
vessel was blown to pieces.
The shock OF the explosion alarmed the
town and hundreds of persons rushed to
the wharves to discover the cause of the
noise, 1t being thought by many that the
magazine of one of the forts defending
Baye had been blown up. The river was
strewn with wreckage from the Petrolia.
aud it was said that the disaster was due
to an explosion of gas that had formed
from the petroleum comprising her cargo.
BURNING OIL WAS FLOATING
on the water This drifted with the tide
and floating against several vessels lying
at anchor near by, set them on fire. Two
or three other vessels were iguited by
burning oil that fell ON their decks.
The Petrolia was burning furiously and
the heat was so intense that
IT WAS DANGEROUS
for the many small boats that were
launched TO approach near TO her. Dense
volumes of sitting black smoke hung over
and around the burning steamer. Some
of the more yenturesome Of the boatmen
heard cries for help and rowed as closely
as possible TO the Petrolia. They sue
ceeded in picking up l6 of her crew. Some
of the rescued men
WERE SEVERELY BURNED.
The survivors sand that there were 20
others on board the vessel when the explo-
sion occurred and search was made in
the vicinity of the steamer for them, but
not body was found and it is believed
ished.
The crews of the other vessels that caught
fire did their utmost to quench the flames,
but their efforts were fruitless and the
boats were burned to the waters edge.

Several offered resistance. but the officers
used their clubs effectually. Several decent
negroes, excited by the recent disturbance,
jumped on boxes and made speeches to the
excited crowds. Two or three shots were
fired. A big, burly negro named Perkins
yelled: Hang the editor of the Ne,os."
