Both jurors stated that while they did
not appear at the time stated in the sum-

later in the day, sickness preventing Mr..
Johnson, and important business prevent

THAT is no excuse for either of you,"
replied Judge Cole, sharply, you should
have been in court at the time mentioned
in the summons, or, if that was impossible.
you should have sent word to the court.
You are both in contempt of court, and you
will remain in custody of the marshal until
you pay the costs of the attachment.

of this court cannot be disobeyed. If they
are, those offending will be punished
But, your honor" exclaimed Mr.. Desio.

Both jurors then promptly paid the costs,
amounting to about $3.50 each, and were
discharged until next Monday morning

Steampipes Exploded on a Vessel in
Lake st. Clair.
ENGINEER Was BLOWN OVERHEARD
Rush of the Passengers for Life
Preserves.
ALL OVER IN A MINUTE

DETROIT, Mich, May 14.-A terrible ac-
cident occurred at $40 last evening on the
new river steamer Unique, in Lake st.
Clair, which caused the death of two men
and possibly a third. At o'clock the
Unique left Detroit, bound for Port Huron,
after down trip which was the quickest
ever made between Detroit and Port Huron
by boat. When about nice miles from Belle
Isle crash was heard by the passengers
to proceed from the boiler room, which was
followed by clouds of steam and soot
driven through the matches with terrific
force.
At the same instant the explosion oc-
CURED the deck hands saw George Robin
son, engineer of the boat, of this city, who
vas sitting on the port rail, thrown over
board. Life preservers were thrown at
once to him, but as the boat was going at
full speed at the time they did not come
within his reach. A boat was at once low
cred, and a thorough search was made for
him, but he had disappeared, and was given
up for dead.
AS soon as the condition of affairs below
would warrant it the officers of the boat
went below, and found a crack about an
inch and half long in one of the boiler
fues. This caused the explosion.
On the floor of the boiler room was An
thony Case, coal passer, who was seen to
have been killed outright. Near him was
John Plant, fireman, who was taken from
the fire hold frightfully burned
There were about forty passengers on the
boat, and rush was made for the life pre-
servers soon as the accident occurred
But it ended SO quickly that all on board
became assured that nothing serious had
happened to the boat itself, and order was
quickly restored. The officers of the boat
refused to allow any one to visit the fire
hold.
The Unique lay on Lake st. Clair from
the time of the accident until o'clock this
morning, when the wrecking tug Wales,
which had been sent for by the steamer
Baldwin, took her in tow, and reached the
dock at Detroit at o'clock this morning.

Died in England.

The chief of police of Stratford, England,
has notified Major Moore of the death in
that city of William Ansell, a printer, who
had formerly lived here. Detective Quin-
Ian investigated the case and learned that
Ansell, who was born in England, had been
employed here in the government printing
office and several private offices. He board
ed at the house of Mrs. Austin, on F street
northeast, and last December he left here
to visit Bermuda before returning to Eng
land So far as could be ascertained the
dead man has no relatives here. He was
member of Columbia Typographical Union,
and Secretary Padgett of that organization
has been notified of his death.
Although Ansell had been in this country
about twenty years he was never natural
lied. He was found sick on the streets in
Stratford and was taken to the. West Ham
Hospital, where he died just one month
ago. The coroner's jury found that heart
disease was the cause of death. The body
was viewed by a large number of persons,
among them 4 Mrs Roberts from Holborn,
who Claimed the body as that of her hus-
band, Lax Roberts, who, she said, came
to this country fifteen years ago.
When he died Ansell had more than $500
in his rockets.

Stories Of 0utrages in Armenia Fully
Substantiated.
WHAT TEE COMMISSION LEARNED
Need Of Reform Suggested to the
Sultan.
OVERS TO SUPERVISE

CONSTANTINOPLE, May 1.-THE COM
mission which has been investigating the
atrocities in Armenia has returned to
Moosh They traversed the devastated
villages and arrived at Jelygoozan (also
written GhellyguoZan), where ten houses
were found to have been burned. The
people were sheltered in miserable huts
and ample proof was found Of the truth
of the stories told regarding the massacre
of Armenans. and. the fact that their
bodies were thrown in large numbers into
a pit, where the Turks endeavored to con-
ceal their crime by pouring barrels of
petroleum upon the bodies and setting fire
to the oil. The flames. however, failed to
consume the mass and n stream was
damned and diverted from it's course in
order to wash away the half burned bodies.
But even this failed to obliterate the ter
rible evidence against the Turks, and the
local authorities were compelled TO remove
the remains pecemeal The villagers had
removed the bulk of the bodies and In
tered them in corsecrated ground before
the arrival of the commission at Jelly
goozan.
The delegates of the powers left Moosh
on April D. The Turkish delegates at first
declined to accompany them, and then
changed their minds. They proceeded to
the ruined villages and traversed Shenik
and Gernat, which were found in ruins
standing in the midst of devastated fields.
They passed other villages where many
houses were burned.
At JellygooZan the commission caused
two pits. instead of one, as originally re-
ported. to be opened, and found in them
the remains of skulls and bones. with
hair and clothing still adhering TO them.
Still another pit was searched. 1t was
situated III a ravine near Jellygoczan. and
inside il was found n decapitated trunk
apd other remains. But few bodies, how
ever. We're found.
The villagers told the delegates that they
had removed the bodies from this pit, and
it was evident beyond a do-.bt that all
three pits had contained bodies.
The exhalations from the pits We're so
frightful that the delegates experienced
great trouble in prevailing upon laborers
to finish their horrible task
AS a result of the investigation and the
reports of the delegates of the powers, the
powers have submitted notes to the Turk
ish government impressinS upon the porte
the necessity of promptly inaugurating
scheme for Armenian reforms, which
should include the appointment of Chris
tian officials in Armenia, the powers to
have the right to veto the appointment of
the governors.
The notes of the delegates of the powers
do not base their suggestions on the Sas-
SCUM outrases. but on the general unsatis-
factory condition OF Armenia.
