Narrow Escape From Death.


A destructive and almost fatal accident
occurred on the tug Escort No. 2, yester
day, while the tug was dragging for the
anchor and cham lost from the bark Ravens
wood. The graphing iron of the tug had
brought upon some heavy body lying at the
bottom of the bay. As the strain tight
ened, the rope, a 5-inch hawser, was carried
forward to the steam winch. The winch
not having sufficient power to lift the an
chor, or whatever had been grappled, the
hand cranks were set and manned by Chas.
Fossman and Edward Fritz. The 5-inch
rope, under the strain Of the steam winch
was already as rigid as an iron bar. and the
additional leverage Of the cranks worked
by the two men proved too much tor the
rope. The winch, relieved of its weight.
and under full pressure of steam, whirled
the crank arms around with lightning rapid.
Ity, striking the two men fearful blows and
telling them to the deck. Fossman was al
most scalped; the iron crank arm striking
HIM ON the forehead, tearing and cutting
such wound that the scalp fell down over
the mans face, binding him. The other
man Fritz must have received the second
blow, as the cash cut mp and down the fore.
head shows his head must have been bent
as though endeavoring to escape. The tug
at once put into Hustler's wharf, where the
men were asslsted ashore and placed in the

on arriving at st. Mary's hospital the
wounds were dressed. Fossman's injuries
are very severe, although not necessarily
fatal. Fritz, after receiving surgical treat
ment, was taken aboard the tug. 81

Mississippi Floods.

BURLINGTON, Iowa, June 27.-The
Mississippi river at this point has been
rising at the rate of half an inch an hour
for the past three days, and to day that
rate was increased. The government
gauge showed the stage at 16 feet above
the low water mark of 1854. The river
is now only II inches below the high
water mark of 1883, which was the high
est point reached since 1861. There are
80 inches of water on the office floor Of
the Diamond Jo line, and the waves are
beginning to pour in at the windows of
many buildings along the levee. The
Burlington boat clubs fine house IS en-
tirely surrounded, and the water can be
seen spreading out over the lowlauds in
Illinois. The river at this point is now
nearly 3S miles wide in pisces and boats
can run to Gladstone, ILL.,, 12 miles in
land. The current of the river is taking
a short cut through these lowlands, and
considerable apprehension is felt By
prOperty-owners for the safety OF their
submerged buildings. The current
which rushes through the long slough
bridges on the Carthage branch of the
Burlington road greatly endangers their
stability. There is only IL inches of
space between the water and the rails of
this branch for several miles between
here and Carmen, Ill.,, and if that is over.
come by the rising water 1t will block all
traffic between this city and Quincy and
St. Louis. ALI trains on the st. Louis,
Keokuk 81 Northwestern road are
abandoned. except through passenger
tralns, which are now running via Quincy
and Carthage.

FIVE CARS WRECKED.

The first section of the train was stop
ped at the Dock-street tower for water,
and when 1t was about to start the second
section crashed into 1t, wrecking five cars
and the locomotive of the second section.
The physicians and surgeons of the city
were aroused and all hurried to the hos
pitai, where tie wounded and dying were
taken as fast as they were recovered
from the wreck. At 8 o'clock this
morning large gang of men are at
work. The operator of Steelton Is al.
legged to have been responsible for tine &C.
cldent in bavlng given engineer Kelly, of
Philadelphia, the wrong signal. There is
a sharp curve at Dock street, which made
the disaster more serious than it would
otherwise have been None OF the train
men were hurt. The private car of
George Westinghouse, of Pitsburg, was
the last on the first train, and Its weight
crushed the day coaches ahead of it into
kindling wood Nobody in the West
Inghouse car was hurt except the porter.
The drenchiDg rain made the work of
rescue exceedingly difficult, and owing
to the excitement it is almost impossible
to ascertain the names of the dead and
injured. The city hospital is full of in,
iured and the moaDs and cries of the
sefereis can be heard square away.

Contraband Chinese.

SACRAMENTO, Cal, June 25.-Tkis
morning carload of Chinese came
through in the Oregon express in charge
of deputy marshals. They were captured
In Oregon, havisg been smuggled over
the border, and were on their way to San
Francisco, to be sent to China. About
one mile and half this side of Suisun,
one of the prisoners deliberately opened
the window and crawled through. He
was dashed with> fearful force to the
ground. So soon as the trainmen real
lied the suicidal act of the contraband
Chlnaman, they had the train stopped
and backed up to where the man lay.
He was taken aboard aud brought to Sui
sun, where he was placed on train bound
for Sacramento, arriving here at II :05 A
n. He was at once conveyed to the
hospital. To fellow. cnuntryman be
first said his name was Yu Kee, and
aiterward Min Wah. 1t was plain that
his mind was wandering, as he turned
over and over on his cor and muttered
words that even the Chinese present
could not understand. 1t IS believed he
IS hurt internally. He will probably be
sent on to San Francisco if he RECEIVERS.

Two Trains Collide.

PITTsBURG. June 25,- The most disas-
trous wreck that ever occurred in Harris
burg took place this morn ng at 1890 at
Docks street. The second section of the
western express ran into the first section,
completely teiescoping two cars. Among
the killed are Richard Adams and wife
a furniture man of this city; an unknown
man from Altoona and man from New
York. A lady on the tram lost her in
tant child and it has not been found.
The i've dead bodies were taken to the
morgue at the Pennsylvania railroad
depot. The number of injured is placed
as high as 40, but at this hour it is i'm
possible to authenticate the report. 1t is
raining hard, which greatly retards the
work Of rescue.

Mitchell, in speaking of that proposition
said he had been bere for 90 years. fight
ing for the improvement of the M.sslsss
ippi river and the Hennepin canal scheme,
and now the two men who were inter
es.ed in these Improvements, B anchard,
of Louisiana, and Henderson, of Illinois
were doing what they could to prevent
the boat railway being made a part of
the bill. Senator Squire has almost
given up hope of the Lake Union aud
Washington canal scheme, and says that
it will require some work to educate
congress up to the importance of that
project. He thinks the house will insist
upon eliminating his pet measure from
the rlver and harbor bill. Senator
Mitchell has expressed himself as almost
willing to See the bill defeated, rather
than to relinquish the boat railway pro-

that he will probably withdraw any OPP
