Steel Canal Boats.

A fleet of steel canalboats arrived
at New York City this week from
Cleveland, Ohio. AS they are the first
steel canalboats ever constructed in
this country, their arrival caused a
hutter of excitement in New York and
the towns along the Erie Canal. It
is reported that 10000 welcomed the
boats at Rochester. They cost little
more than the old-style wooden canal
boats, but the latter could not safely
cross the lakes. The new vessel can
carry cargoes direct to Duluth. The
canal people regard the enterprise as
the beginning of the revival Of the
Erie Canal trade. The boats will last
longer, cost less for repairs and can be
insured at lower rates than wooden
ones. The only thing which now
seems to stand in the way Of the re-
Mobilization of the canal is the shallow
water. A strong effort will be made to
induce the next legislature of New
York to deepen the famous waterway,
for which an appropriation Of $4,000
600 is asked. Twenty more boats Of
this class are to be built, and it is an
nounced that cargoes have been en-.
gagged to keep them fully loaded for
the balance Of the ycar.-Philadelphi
Ledger.

" Yes, that is my name,' she re-

Seven Lives Are Lost

Melby wreck on the Great Northern

They report that last night men clear

had been killed in the terrible collision.
The identity of the men could not be

around the wreck and trains are run
ming as usual. Miss Margaret Allison
OF Madison, Wis, who was with the
party going to Portland, and who was
more seriously hurt than any other
passenger, is still at Ashby with a.
number OF others who were injured.
The verdict Of the coroner's INQUEST
was as follows: 1--WE find that the d.
rect cause of the accident is to be laid
against Engineer Haires in acting on
wrong orders. We further blame the
company for ordering passenger trains
TO meet at blind sidings where no
agent is and no lights are kept, also in
allowing conductor to send two
orders to the engineer when only one

A little, faded old woman an ordin-
airy huckster's cart filled with what
evidently included all the household
effects Of the party, a healthy-looking
bareheaded girl, seated astride the eff

drew a curious crowd to the corner of
Twelfth and Grand avenue Kansas

The woman was clad in plainest
calico, her feet were bare and her head
was protected by a hideous sunbonnet.
She had rested the front of the cart
on the curbstone and said she was
waiting for the appearance of her "ole

The child stared stolidly at the gather

cats tail, to which the outraged fe-

An Unknown Young Lady Greatly
Interested in Durrnnt.
San Francisco, Sept. 15.-The prose
cution in the trial of Theodore Dur
rant has thus far examined twenty
three witnesses and has occupied two
weeks in it's work. These are less
than half the number to be examined
in it's direct case and the most i'm
pOrtant are yet to be placed on the
stand. 1t is said that the next four
witnesses will take Durrant and his
alleged victim up to and into the
church where the girl met her death.
The examination will probab take
all of next week.
Ever since the case in the superior
court began girl Of prepossessing 2p-
pearance has haunted the court room.
For time she brought every morning
bunch Of flowers which she sent to
the prisoner by deputy sheriff. This
action attracted so much attention,
During the proceedings she sits with
her eyes riveted on Durrant's face. The
prisoner never gives her any attention,
but the police believe that they are
at least, acquainted. DCrrant is said
to have written long note in court,
the missive being delivered to the IN
known by the prisoners father after
the court adjourned. The young vo-
man lives in Oakland. but although de-
tectives have been detailed to locate
her, she has always managed to elude
them. She is perfectly aware that
she is being watched, and seems der
termined to avoid Identification.

Wade, was preacher, having been or

H AYWARD'S CASE

Big Book of Testimony in the su-
pTe1ne Court -.
st. Paul, Sept. 1.-THE attorneys for
Harry L. Hayward made return to
the clerk of the supreme court this
morning Of the evidence in the Hay
ward murder trial. This, together
with the bill of thirteen exceptions
and the statement Of new evidence to
be introduced, was filed for the pun
pose Of making an appeal from the
order Of the district court of Henne-
pin county denying the motion of
HayWard's attorney for a new trial.
The return was made in accordance
with a notice from Attorney General
Childs to HayWard's attorneys, in
forming them that the return must be
made by Sept. 20. The return COM
prises a bulky package of manuscript
containing on its thousand or more
typewriter pages complete steno-
graphic report of the Hayward testi-
mony from the time of the empanel-
ing of the jury until the close of the
case, and the motion of Attorney En-
win for new trial and Judge Smiths
denial of the motion.
The case will be one of the first
ones taken up by the supreme court
when it reconvenes Oct 1 for the fall
term. On it's decision in the matter
depends the fate of Hayward If the
court refuses to grant the appeal, Hay
ward will have to suffer the death
penalty unless Gov Clough inter-
venes. This he has refused to do
once, and he will probably not change
his mind.
