FOUR SAFE, MANY LOST.
Belief That the Webster Has
FOundered.

New YORK, Jan. 2S.-Four of the
eighteen men who drifted out to sea on
the tug Edwin Webster and four dump
ing boats during the terrible gale of
Tuesday have been rescued. They
which drifted away from the anchorage
in Rockaway shoals after the tug
Nichols put in there with them and
started to the rescue of the disabled
Webster and her drifting tow. Boats 8
and 16 were picked up by the big ocean,
going tug Edgar F. Luckenbach about
fifty miles off Fire Island. After bring
ing those two in the Luckenbach imme-
diately started back in search of the
other derelicts.
1t is the general opinion among tug
boat men that the Webster has foun-
dered and that her crew of ten men are
bare possibility that the Websler's men
have been picked up. 1t is deemed GER
tain, however, that the tug itself has
gone to the bottom. According to the
owner of the Webster there were on
board of her; George Clark. captain;
Thomas Wall, engineer: Lasher, pilot;
four firemen, two deck hands and
steward, whose names cannot be aScer-
tanned. On board her tow, dumping
boats 5 and II, we're: Charles Crump,
captain of Nos; Flavios Canal, mate
of No. 5; Alaf Dahl, captain of No. II;
William Larrettson, mate of No. IL.
The capture OF the drifting boats 8
and 16 was a difficult and dangerous
task, and the rescued men and the crew
of the Luckenbach have thrilling tales
to tell of their experience. When the
dumping boats were towed into the At
lantic basin and lines from them
were made fast, one of the men
on board cried out: Thank God,
we've got line on deck
gain" They had been drifting on
high sea in terrible, freezing gale for
nearly thirty six hours before they
caught sight of their rescuers, and had
almost given up hope of being saved.

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, Jan. 2S-A ter
Honeybrook small mining town five
miles from HaZleton, at noon today. A
score OF Hungarian miners were en-
ployed in coal stripping at that place.
They were sitting around the stove
in the wOrkmen's shanty eating
their lunches when several sticks of
dynamite, which had been placed near
the stove, exploded, blowing the shanty
to fragments and scattering the in
mates in all directions. The shock of
the explosion was heard five miles
away. In short time hundreds of peo-
pie had gathered at the spot and willing
hands were soon aiding the wounded.
Two men, Adam Bornick and John
Slavitski, were instantly killed, their
bodies being shOckingly mutilated. Of
the other thirteen not one escaped in
jury. Men were lying around in every
direction, some with
Arms and Legs Broken
and blood pouring from many gaping
wounds. Seven doctors were soon on
the spot attending to the injuries of the
sufferers. 1t is believed that number
of the victims will die. Wagons filled
with hay and straw were brought and
many of the injured, amid groans and
means. were soon removed to places of
comfort, before sending them to the
hospital at Hazleton.
A special at 10 o'clock this evening
says: There were twenty Slavs in
Jured, of whom seven are now at the
miners hospital in HaZleton. Two are
known to be dead. and others are being
treated by the doctors at their huts near
where the accident occurred. At night
fall there were two men yet missing
and the doctors and bosses are securing
known as dualin, one of the highest

Caused by Ignorance.
The explosion was caused by the
Slavs thoroughly heating the dualin
low temperature causing it to contract,
with the result above stated. The man
who had the dualin was literally
torn to pieces. In the hospital
are John Hide Conick. aged thirty
eight; Mike Sterouk, aged forty-five;
Steve Bedford, aged forty-four;
Kanda Martin, aged thirty-one: Human
ism Vaset. aged thirty-three, and three
unknown men, all OF whom, it is
thought, will die. DR.. Keller tonight

the fractures of skull and bones of
the face the body of each pa

1t was freezing cold and high sea run
ming when he started to the rescue.
I'VE cruised off the Long Island coast
all forenoon yesterday, keeping Sharp
lookout with glasses. About 10 O'Clock
In the forenoon, when about fifty
miles off Fire island we sight
ed two scOws drifting together
before the wind. There was no other
boat in sight. Signals OF distress were
flying from the cabins on the scows,
ana, putting on full speed, we made for
the drifting boats. When we got near
enough to see the men on the decks
they were waving hats and coats and
shouting with all their might. They
were overJoyed at our approach. We
ran up within about twenty-five feet of
the boats and heaved a small line on
board. 1t was not all safe yet. though,
Tor the seas were running very high and
several times the waves breaking over
our stern drove our men on a run for
ward to save themselves.
1.-The men Oh the bumpers were in
pretty good condition, however, and we
finally got hawser fast and started
ahead. 1t would have been impossible
to take the men off the boats, even If
they had been willing to come. The
seas were running too high to make
such an attempt, as we could
not get any nearer than to
be able to heave small line
'Ihe scows were covered with ice and
looked like small icebergs. The men
on board had been very much fright
ened, and truth to tell. if We had not
sighted them they might have starved
and frozen. to death before being picked
up"
The men and boats were all right,
n rrI %hn
from fright and exposure. Capt. Deane
said he thought boats and II were
probably about $50 miles further off
than when Nos. 8 and Is were
sighted. The provisions of the
scows consisted OF five-cent
loaf of bread, two packages of oatmeal
and little coffee. These supplies
among four men would not have lasted
more than two days, and if they had
been CARED out to sea. one great danger
besides that of being upset was that of
Starvation.

rected all our efforts to keep
heading towards the sea. We feared
being blown TO pieces on shore. AS the
velocity of the wind increased there
was danger of the cabins being blown
away. so we put our little store of pro-
visions and our dog in the hold and
dashed down the matches. 1t was so
cold we could not remain more than
three minutes on the bridge. and the
wind extinguished our fire in the cabin.
Three steamships passed. but took no
notice of us. At night we burnt oakum
and kerosene oil. We were adrift just
twenty-five hours when we were

ALMOST THROUGH.
What the Fire Commissioners
Will Report to the Council.

Will Report to the Council.
The committee on fire department
met again yesterday afternoon and
heard report from the chief as to the
causes of the $4,000 increase in the
pay rolls during 1891, and this explana-
ton will form the basis of the commit
tees report to the council.
The chief showed that fifteen meE
were added to the department in 1890
who did not appear upon the pay roll
until 1891. The accidents caused by
the 200 extra fires in 1891, he
said, also contributed to the in
crease. as when a man is laid Off
through injuries received in the line of
duty, a substitute is put in his place
and both draw pay. Then, too, the sys-
tenn OF raising mans salary after he
has served certain length of time, had
added to the expense. Here he ex-
planned that when a man is first ap-
pointed his salary Is $50, but this is in
creased gradually for length of service
until it reaches $40. He stated that
many of the men had had their pay in
creased in this manner during the year.
The increase of the blacksmith's pay
from SIS to Sl00 and that of the secre-
tary and assistant secretary he men,
-.
The committee will try to prepare its
report for tonight'S meeting of the coun-
Gil.
Aid. Woodward stated that in view of
certain assertions and allegations made
and limited at regarding his actions as
chairman of the committee on fire de-
partment, he would request that if the
committee had any reason 10 believe
the insinuations made, that committee
be appointed to investigate him as chair
man. No action was taken, however,
upon this suggestion.
Since the committee was requested
to investigated the increase in Secre-
tary Snyder'S salary numerous irregu-
larities in the pay rolls have been
brought to light. the latest being an in
crease in the salary of A. }. Schlener, a
ladderman, The schedule pay of lad
derman is SIS, but. beginning with
August and up to December, he has re-
ceived 500 month. Chief Runge,
when his attention was called to the
matter this morning, explained that
Schlener was doing special work as
superintendent of the gymnasium at
No. house, and that Aid. Woodward
had authorized the increase. Since the
stirring up of the recent scandal, how
ever, Schlener has been prom oted to
captain vi Cllelllcdj NO. D. anu receives

During the past few days there has
also been considerable unfavorable
comment as TO the manner in which the
bids for the three new hose carts re-
Gently purchased were handled.
1t is stated that although there were
three bids received, only one of them
was ever reported to the council. The
three bids, it is said, were referred I'M

then opened the bids, and retur ned

receiving bids was placed at IL O'Clock.

PRESS COMMITTEE PLANS.
They Await the Conference of the
Convention Architects.

They Await the Conference of the
Convention Architects.
The convention press committee will
meet in the convention headquarters in
the Bank of Commerce building next
Saturday, tomorrow. 1t is expected
that at that meeting the work of parcel
ing out the space in the convention
building will be begun. although the
committee cali do little in that direction
until the architects get together and
settle upon the changes that are to be
made In the plans. 1t cannot be told
when those changes will be settled.
Architect Hayes has recovered from his
illness sufficiently to be about the
streets, but he says he does not think
he will go to Chicago to consult with
Mr.. Adler. The Chicago architect will
probably come to Minneapolis. Next
week sometime he is expected here.
Meanwhile the press committee Will go
ahead and do something toward provid
ing the visiting newspaper men with
hotel and work room accommodations.
Col. John T. West has already taken
tiveS to the detriment of his own
finances, although he makes no COM
plant about that. He said when
the convention was secured that
he would see that the news
paper men were taken care of. He is
keeping his word. However, there will
be a good many newspaper men who
will find no room for them at the West,
as that hotel is practically filled now.
1t has been suggested that the Bruins
wick hotel be taken bodily for the news
paper representatives and that they be
provided with work rooms in the Lum-
Der Exchange. If that plan be adopted,
the hours for meals at the
hotel will be so arranged as
to accommodate the newspaper men es-
pecially. 1t is probable that arrange
ments will also be made for serving a
supper for the night men at midnight.
Secretary Mind, of the press committee,
says that he has heard from nearly all
the newspapers of the country, with the
exception of the Minneapolis papers.
He will hear from them at the next
meeting.

JERSEY CITY, n. j., Jan. 2S.-Shortly
before l o'clock today Arthur Stockton,
tinsmith, aged twenty-nine years, of
No. Seabrisk street, shot and instantly
killed his wife, and then shot
and probably fatally injured his
sister-in-law. Miss Mary Tierney. The
murderer was Immediately arrested and
placed in Jail. The probable cause of
the shooting was jealousy. Mrs. Stock
ton was very comely woman, and, ac-
cording to the murderer, addicted to
flirting. Stockton told the police that
he had killed his wife purposely for
breaking her marriage VOWS. She and
her sister, he said. during his absence
attended ball last night and were
accompanied home by John E. Dunn
and John Brennan, the latter city of
fetal. The men remained with the
women at the Stockton house until
Stockton reached home at o'clock this
afternoon, when he surprised them. He
fired two shots at the men, but the bull
lets went wide of the mark and the
men ran away. Then the two women
ran into the street, followed by Stock
ton, who, after fercely upbraidlng
them. shot them as described above.

AFTER THE GRIPPE.
Deaths After Recovery Than Dur

Ihe grippe Responsible for More
Deaths After Recovery Than Dur
Ing Ets COurse-HOW TO Avoid the
Danger.
Grippe, in itself, is bad enough, facilitating
enough, but it is the after effects, the slow
ness OF recovery, that give it its great danger
In most cases, the person did not have suffi-
cient vitality to rally after the disease itself
had passed. The forces of nature were too
weak TO contend with the debility which the
Grippe had left.
1t Is sad to think bow many people have
died who might have been saved if nature
had been properly assisted and fortified after
the Grippe had been driven from the system.
Many physicians realized this fact and as
sisted their patients over the dangerous after
effects by bracing up and stimulating their
systems. This was, and can be done in but
one way, and that is by the steady and mod
crate use of some pure yet powerful stimu-
. liant. There is but one absolutely pure and
medicinal stimulant known to the profession
and TO the public, and that is Duffys Pure
Malt Whiskey. The most prominent scien-
= lists and physicians of the land indorse its
purity and value. 1t is not new whiskey,
If has been before the public for years. II is
not cheap decoction, but pure distillation.
1t imparts a tone to the system possible in no
other manner, and sends the blood eoursing
through the veins with renewed vigor. 1t is
superior In every respect, and however much
any INSCRIPTIONS druggist or grocer may seek
to lead you to believe to the contrary do not
be deceived.

the richest part of the leads. These

lies beyond. Old prospectors told Mi.
Peterson that large body of ore lies

said Mr.. Peterson yesterday, 'but the
mines in which | am interested are of the
most promising. They can be got at and
worked in the easiest manner possible.
Mining engineers understood their bust

BOOM ISLAND AGAIN.
This Time All Litigation May Be
Ended

The famed Boom island has acquired
no small notoriety through the courts
during the past few years, and the at
torneyS have almost learned to look
upon it as natural cause of revenue to
them. If the action which was insti-
tuted yesterday is decided favorably
there will be no more need of dragging
the island into court again. There Will
be no longer question as to who owns it.
Jefferson P. Saunders and James N,
Nue. institute the action. They say that
the island was taken UP by Hiram
Saunders March II, 1856. May 3, 1859.
his patent was granted They charge
that certain 'forged. false and fraudu-
lent' papers are in existence by which
he delivered the island to others. They
say that Arson Northrup, of st. Paul,
and Reuben Gray, Of Gull Lake, know
that these instruments are fraudulent,
and they ask that they be brought into
court and allowed to so testify. This
testimony will, of course, set aside all
other claims to the island, aside from
that held by Saunders and True.
