FIVE MEN BADLY scALDED.
A Steam Pipe broken on the Tor
pedO Boat Ericsson.

New London, Conn.,. July 17.-AIisfortune
seems to have been the lot of the torpedo
boat Ericsson since it came to New London
from the Iowa Iron Works. at Dubuque a
year ago. but none OF the accidents have
been as serious as that which occurred to-
day, when the boat was in Long Island
Sound, and when the starboard low press
ure cylinder was wrecked, breaking the
steam pipe connecting with it and scalding
five of the ten men on the engineer force.
The scalded men are: John Stransby. en-
gineeT Dubuque, Ia; William Merwin, Du-
Duque. Ia, machinist; David Cody, Jersey
city, n. Y, Joseph Hamilton, New York,
and Austin Williams New York. The last
three named are Junior engineers.
The light house tender Cactus was with
In hail and she took the victims to the
New London hospital
Quantities of white lead and boiled oil
were wrapped around the scalded to
relieve their pains by excluding the air
from the exposed flesh. The run in here
was of more than an hours duration, but
the injured men were in the marine nos
pital soon after y o'clock.
Merwin is the worst scalded of the
party, his lower limbs, body and arms te-
ing affected. Stransby is almost similarly
scalded. Codys body and arms are bad
ly scalded. Hamiltons injuries are, like
Williams, from the waist up.
The men presented a sickening sight in
the hospital stripped of their clothing
above the waist and covered with white
lead and OIL their bodies and limbs quiv-
ering like Jelly.

EVACUATION OF ROME.
Sept. 20 Made the Anniversary of the
Event.

Rome. July 17.-The Senate. by con-
siderable majority to-day, approved the
bill making Sept. %, the anniversary of
the surrender of their arms and evacua-
ton of Rome by the papal troops in 1870
a national fete day.
In the course of the debate on the meas
ure Premier Crispi said the bill was i'm
portant as a declaration of Italy's policy
toward the vatican. The government, Re
said, desired neither a concordant nor a
combat They would however, faithful
ly observe the law of guarantees to the
pope as the head of a religion that had
greater freedom in Italy than it had in
France or Austria. The pope had tri-
umphed in the Kulturkampf in Germany,
because Italy had put him into an un-
assailable position, whereupon Prince
Bismarck. then the chancellor OF the
German empire, had said to him (Crls-
pD you have wrapped him up in cotton
so nobody can attack him" Signor Crispi
concluded by saying that it was true
liberty that peace between the state and
the church must be realized. The pre-
miers speech was received with cheers.

RATES on MONEY BY EXPRESS.
The Philadelphia Bank Files Its
Answer to the Equity Suit.


Philadelphia, July 1.-THE answers of
the Fourth Street National Bank, Sidney
F. Tyler. president, and Richard II. Rush
ton, cashier. to the equity suit brought
against the bank by the Adams Express
Company, for alleged differentiation of
money packages, were filed to-day in the
United States circuit court. They COM
prise, first a statement from the bank and
its officers jointly bearing upon the bill of
complaint, and also a separate joint state
ment in answer to the interrOgatories an
nexed to the bill. The bank denies the
statement in the bill that the company has
prescribed and tablished uniform tariff
based primarily upon the value of the
thing carried, and secondarily, upon the
transported and the character of the ar
ticle shipped.
The company, it Is claimed, never has re-
quired shippers to give the true and full
value of a package until after the present
question was raised, but daily has esti-
mated the value of packages without a
statement of their value and the value
placed on package is placed there by the
shipper for his own protection. 1t is de-
MED also that the express company ever
pretended to rely upon the value made by
the banks as a statement of the actual
contents of the packages. Denial is made
of alleged fraudulent concealment of false
statement, and in conclusion the bank
asked to be dismissed with reasonable
costs and charges in this behalf most
wrongfully sustained"

Manufacturers From Their Com
tracts.
Prlladels hia, July l7-The issue in the
fight between the manufacturers and
their striking ingram carpet weavers is
now clearly defined. The men have re-
fused the proposition of the manufac-
turers to continue work at the present
rate of wages until Dec. /. when the
asked for increase OF M per cent. would
be granted, and the manufacturers are
equally determined not to accede TO the
demand for an increase at once. Thomas
Bromley, Jr.. secretary of the manufac-
turers' committee, said this morning If
the men did not return to their work at
the present wages the manufacturers
would shut their mills down. The strik-
ers have been depending on the large
orders on hand to force the manufac-
turers to terms. This hope seems futile,
as Mr.. Bromley said that the carpet deal
ers with whom they have contracts have
agreed In nearly every instance to alb
solve them from their contracts.
