An Atlantic steamers Sorry Plight.

The British freight steamship City of
Belfast from East Indian ports pre-
sented queer appearance when she
reached quarantine at New York. On
account of the stormy weather on the
Atlantic she made unusually slow
time, and she ran out of coal five
days from port. The steamship was
completely shorn of masts, bowsprit
and all the woodwork above decks.
Capt. McAlpin had been forced to cut
up everything on the ship in the way
of wood or combustible material that
could be spared to keep the engines go
ing.
The Belfast left Sourabays, Java, on
August %, with cargo of sugar. The
voyage was an exceptionally rough one,
and high seas and head wines were
constantly encountered.

IMEN BLOWN TO ATOMS.
A BIG LOCOMOTIVE BOILER Elk
PLODES KILLING FIVE MEN.
One Man Also Fatally Injured by steam
The Cause of the Disaster n My
stery.- other News.

A most distressing accident occurred
on the Philadelphia & Reading railroad
at Connor's Crossing, a short distance
north of Schuylkill Haven, Pa, when
the boiler of mogul engine No. 563 ex-
ploded, killing five men and probably
fatally injuring another. The killed
are:
Henry c. Allison, engineer of 5G3, re-
siding at Palo Alto. leaves a wife.
William Mackey, fireman of SOB, Port
Carbon, wife and one child. William
Cowhey, an engineer on way home to
MounC Carbon, leaves wife and 10 chill
dren. William Kendrick, conductor, of
Port Carbon, wife and four children.
William Meyer, Cowboys fireman, Palo
Alto, single. Besides these Michael
Dobbins, of Mount Carbon. n brake
man of Engineer Cowboys crew, was
badly scalded and will probably die.
Engine 500 was northbound with a
heavy train of empty cars. William
Cowhey and his crew had brought up a
train of empties and after running
them into the Cressona yards boarded
engine 563 at the Mine Hill Crossing
with the intention of reaching their
homes in that way and as il is custom
airy took possession of the cab. Dob
bins, who escaped instant death, was
crowded out of the cab and was sitting
on the tender. The men had barely
been on the engine two minutes when,
without any warning, the terrible eX-
plosion occurred, throwing the crews
into the air in all direction and to
| eternity.
The cause of the explosion is not
known and probably never will be, but
from persons who were in close proX-
unity, It is learned that the train had
come to a standstill because of the
lowness of steam and the blower had
been put on. 1T was during this pro-
cess that the boiler exploded. Dobbin,
the injured man, had alighted prior
thereto, and it is evidently due TO this
fact that he was not killed outright.
The impression is that the explosion
occurred because Engineer Allison had
allowed the water in the boiler to run
too low in his endeavor TO reach his
terminal at Palo Alto.

PROHIBITION is DEAD.
Kansas saloons Run Wide Open Now as
Result of the Election.


Two surprising results of the election
in Kansas are beginning to attract uni
versal attention. One is the carrying
of the proposition 'to hold a constitu-
tional convention and the other is the
cessation of the enforcement of the
prohibitory law. The convention will
be taken advantage of by the anti-pro-
hibitionists of all parties to attempt
the elimination from, the constitution
of the prohibition amendment and the
hottest kind of fight on that question
is anticipated. Lorenzo Lewellen, the
new third party governor-elect, an
nounced that the enforcement of the
laws must hereafter be left with the
local officers and that the state will
not use the power in its hands TO en-
force the law in localities. In other
words he says such locaEties as desire
TO enfore prohibition can do so under
the general law, and that those who
do not desire its enforcement will not
be made to enforce it by the state.
That, in effect, means local option,
and already the liquor industry
throughout the state has taken boom.
Saloons have opened in many towns
and Kansas today is practically wet
state.
