members Of the Union League club,
and inside of twenty-four hours more
than a score of the memba's of the club

The Two Dem ocratic Factions in Louisiana
Have Their Troubles Patched Up.
NEW ORLEANS, June 15-[ Special i
The Foster and McEnery Democratic Con-
ventions, in session in Baton Rouge at a
late hour last night adopted resolutions in
favor of harmony, and appointed con-
ference committee to arrange terms. The
Conference Committee met this afternoon,
and came to terms at once. According to
the agreement the Foster State Central
Committee is to be recognized as the regu-
lar one and the McEnery members, elected
in the several parishes and wards, are to be
recognized as members of the committee.
The 25 Foster members at large are to re-
main, and ten McEnerite members at large
are to be appointed. This will give the
State administration an anti-lottery faction,
a majority of the committee and enable it to
control it.
- 1t was also decided to divide the delega-
tion to the Chicago Convention between
the two factions, and also to divide the
State electoral tickets. A quarter was
tossed up to decide as to who should make
the first selection of electors. In Novem-
Der at the Presidential election there is to be
an entire reorganization of committees in
each parish. This ends the feud which has
prevailed in the Democratic party in
Louisiana for year, which has already
been patched up twice only to break again.

ONLY A WILD-EYED RUMOR.

No Accident Occurred to the City of Pitts
on tho Boat From Various ~Causes-Gay
Excursionists.
Royal Arcanum Council 961, of Etna,
gave an excursion down the Ohio river to
East Liverpool yesterday on the steamer
City of Pittsburg. The boat left the Sharps-
burg bridge at A. NJ. About o'clock a
rumor startled the peaceful boroughs of
Etna and Sharpsburg. The report had
it that the hurricane deck had given
away, and killed number and injured
others. The excitement was intense for
awhile Fathers, mothers, sisters and
brothers, and all who had friends on board
of the boat were frantic.
kilograms and telephone messages were
sent to ali points along the river inquir-
ing for the steamer. Reassuring replys
were returned from different points
Later in the day, however, more
rumors were circulated stating that
the boilers of the boat had burst, killing
many, also that the crowd had overturned
the boat by getting on one side. Again the
excitement was intense and was increased
: by telegram to a citizen stating that a
friend of his had been injured and was lying
in critical condition at Rochester, and
requ esting him to come Immediately and
take charge of him.
Although the injured man had not been
on the excursion the gossips soon had it so,
and the relatives, anxious about their
friends, were ready 10 believe the worst
Again the wires were appealed to, and
answers came back that the boat was all
right and everybody safe. The boat passed
under the Union bridge at 7:SO and went on
up the Allegheny river to Herr's Island,
where the boat ran aground and had to land
the passengers on the island.
Not until the excursionists arrived at home
and were clasped in the fond embrace of
their friends would the anxious ones believe
that their dear ones were really alive and
safe. Great was the joy in the homes in
Sharpsburg and Etna when the excursion
party arrived safe.
1t is not known who started the false re-
ports, but it is thought it was someone,
name unknown, in East Liverpool, who
telephoned the unteeling message that
created so much eqcitement and misery.
The eXcursionists numbered about 600
and unconscious of the anxiety of their
friends had a splendid trip and enjoyed
themselves hugely.
