The NARONlC'S FATE.
Letter of Second Engineer Lucock
Stating the Boilers Were Unsafe.

PITTsBURG. April 27.-John Lucock, an
electrician in the employ of the Western
Union telegraph company in this city,
made statement today that may throw
some light on the loss of the steamer Mar
onic. He says his brother Robert was
employed on the Naronio in the capacity
OF second engineer, and that just after the
vessel arrived at Liverpool on its last trip,
he wrote a letter to his brother Thomas,
who is located in Chicago. stating that the
boilers IN the engine were in very bad
shape and that they had had hard time
in going over from New York TO Liverpool.
The writer stated that unless repairs were
made while the vessel was lying at Liver
pool the return trip would very likely
prove to be a very dangerous one. Lucock
was averse to talking, but said that while
of course he had not the remotest idea of
what caused the vessel to sink, from the
tone Of his brothers letter he was inclined
to think that the boilers had blown up.
Robert, he said, was O verv conservative
man, and would not write anything about
the boilers that would be inaccurate or
unreliable. As he is among the missing,
1t would be difficult matter to prove that
the vessels destruction was caused in this
way. The letter also stated that he was
about to make his last trip and did not in
tend to follow the ocean any longer. Mr..
Lucock had another brother lost in about
the same way Off the shores OF Australia.

The Terre Haute Lodge Refuses Al
Expel Him.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, April 26.-[Spe
cial. Local lodge No. Is, Brotherhood
locomotive iremen, were in session until
past midnight considering the case
of ex-Grsnd Secretary Eugene V
Debs, whose contemplated ex-
pulsion from the local lodge
has been widely discussed. The cause OF
the trouble arose from expressions of Debs
in a recent interview, In which he pointed
out the shortcomings OF the brothe-
erhood and insisted the railroad
men should be organized on a
broader basis. Those active in seeking
his expulsion held that his views were in
imical to the brotherhood and con-
templated its disruption. The ex-grand
secretary won a signal victory anu
his opponents were routed. Debs
showed that be had been
elected grand secretary for thirteen
successive wears without an opposing can
didate against him. or single vote against
him, and that he had never accepted but
a moiety OF the salary voted him. After
his statement the lodge voted unani-
mously to drop the charges, and in ex-
fear that mis- activity in founding the
American railway union might lead to
the disruption of the Brotherhood of loco
motive firemen had the inquisition been
begun. Charges against Grand Secretary
Arnold were even considered, and the
whole matter is regarded as settled
