PANIC ON a STEAMER.

Two Men Scalded to Death and Thirteen
Others Seriously Injured.
CHICAGO, June 24.-By the explosion
of steam valve in the whaleback
steamer Christopher Columbus, off
Waubegan Saturday night, two men
were killed and thirteen were danger
ously or painfully injured. It was the
homeward run of the whaleback in it's
opening summer excursion to Mi1wau-
kee. About $50 souls were aboard.
Flying flags, with music and
dancing, was the order of the
evening. Half mile in the
boats wake plowed the rival excursion
steamer, the Virginia, which cleared
the harbor some fifteen minutes later
and had on every pound of steam pos
sible to overtal1e her competitor. On
the outward trip the Virginia had not
only held the advantage, but doubled
it, and the crew of the whalebaclz were
determined that they should not be
passed and the Virginia was gaining.
Suddenly there was shock of ex-
plosion. The steam valve in a six-inch
connecting pipe over the starboard bat
terry of three boilers had blown out.
Down in the hold six firemen and a
waterman found themselves enveloped
in a scalding mist SO thick one could
not see his hand. When they tried to
make the ladder they damned against
the heated oven doors. In their frenzy
they fell over one another and delayed
embracing the slightest chance of es-
cape offered. The binding vapor
made help impossible.
The steam crowded everywhere. 1t
was instantly in every compartment of
the vessel. In the main salon $50 per-
sons seated about or reclining were
suddenly seized with panic. 1t was in
creased by all the lights going out
The passengers rushed to the decks.
Several women tainted. The men did
all in their power to quiet the
frightened. Many believed the
ship was sinking. Then the
steam reached the passengers. A
score or more women who had
inhaled steam swooned, and in the ex-
element their friends feared they had
been overcome by breathing the deadly
vapor. Several men began to drag out
life preservers and pile them up con-
veniently. The scalded men were
brought up to the cabin as soon as
possible, and several surgeons who
were on board did all possible to al
leviate their sufferings For three
hours the whaleback lay, getting up
steam for resuming the journey.

TWO DROWNED.
Mrs. Stewart and Her Child Drowned in the
Overflow on Sugar Creek, Mo.


Overflow on Sugar Creek, Mo.
KIRKsvILLE. Mo-, June 25.-A rain
and hail storm ragged here Sunday
night, and reports of the destruction
of crops and property are coming in
from all parts of Adair county. On
Sugar creek, in the Charlton bottoms,
s miles west of here, Mrs. Stewart and
her infant daughter were drowned in
the overflow. The drowned woman
and her two children lived with her
father and brother in a tent near
Pickler's big tie camp, where the
father and brother were employed.
They had all retired and were arouse
by the water rising in the tent. Look
ing out they discovered the entire
bottoms de2uged. Mrs. Stewart took
one child, while her father took the
other, and the party attempted to es-
cape. They started out into the for
est, wading through water waist deep,
and by the aid of an occasional flash OF
lightning finally reaching dry land,
but in crossing creek Mrs. Stewart
made a misstep and fell into the water.
The current was so swift that the
mother and child could not be res
cued, and their bodies were not recov-
cred until morning.

Woman, Shoots Another and Kills Him.
self.
ST. LOUIS, June 24.-The village of
Webster Groves, 10 miles from St.
Louis, is wild with excitement over
one of the bloodiest tragedies that
ever took place in ST. Louis county.
About 2:3O o'clock yesterday afternoon
Frank J. Sittel shot and instantly
killed his sister-in-law, Mrs. Emma
Peterson. wounded her younger
sister, Miss Amelia Horch, and
then committed suicide by shoot
ing himself through the center of
the forehead, dying moment later.
The sanguinary affair, which was the
work of a moment, was the outcome of
a family financial feud, covering a
period of several years, and was not
wholly a surprise to the citizens of
Webster Groves. Miss Horch will re-
cover. Her dead sister leaves a hus-
band and one small child. Her broth
er-in-law leaves a wife and infant
daughter less than years old.
