A RIVER HORROR.
Eleven Lives Lost in an Explo-
sion on the Mississippi.
Boilers of the Tow Boat Harry Brown
cave Way and the Craft Sank Five
Minutes After the Accident.

V1cKsBuRa, Miss, May 12.-one Of
the most terrible disasters of recent
years occurred Sunday night about %
miles below this city. The tow boat
Harry Brown, of Pittsburg, upward
pound from New Orleans, exploded her
boilers at IL p. IN. The boat was COM
pletely wrecked and sank in less than
hve minutes. Eleven lives are known
TO be lost, including Pilot Norman X.
bravo, q. w. Beardsley, steersman;
William Dougherty, chief engineer,
Miss Annie Hess, cham bermaid; Tom
Judge and William Wilson, firemen.
The bodies of First Mate William Fitz-
simmons, that of the second mate, and
those of George KERN and William
Kelley, lamp trimmers, were recovered
and brought to this city by the steam
er Washington Honshell, which was in
sight of the Brown at the time of the
accident. The survivors and also the
wounded were brought to this city on
the Honshcll.
Six of the officers and crew of the
Harry Brown are in the Vicksburg
hospital. Pilot Dravo, who was lost,
'~NS "a L iUUooui S' L no prOlnpU lower
ing of the Honshell's boats resulted in
the saving of many lives.
Capt Kern, the master of the
Brown, was blown onto the cabin roof
OF the Brown by the explosion. This
portion of the cabin hoated off from
the hull as it sank.
Capt. Kern and Pilot Dan Kain were
IN the Browns pilot house when the
explosion occurred. Capt. Kiern stated
that it would be impossible for any one
to tell how many of the seven boilers
exploded. 1t seemed to him that the
vessel went down in less than a min
ute. Capt. Kiern attached no blame to
any one. He says the cause of the ex-
plosion will never be known, as the
chief engineer, Dougherty, was lost.
He declares that the vessel was run
ming at her usual speed and under no
special pressure. The boat carried 4s
officers and crew, all white. She had in
tow six empty barges and two fuel
boats.
The Harry Brown was built in 1889
and was owned by the big coal firm of
Brown & Co., of Pittsburg. The boat
was in perfect order and had just had
her boilers cleaned at New Orleans.

Monument to the Hero of Gettysburg is
Unveiled at Washington.
WASHINGTON, May 13.-Thc bronze
equestrian statue of Maj Gen. Winfield
Scott Hancock, the "hero of Gettys-
burg" was unveiled Tuesday after
noon at the intersection of Pennsylva-
MIA and Louisiana avenues with Sew
enth and c streets, the busiest high
way crossing in the capital. President
Cleveland presided at the ceremony,
which followed one of the most impos-
ing military parades of city famous
for such pageants and which was wit
messed by many persons who had been
closely associated with the great SOL
dier. The statue, pronounced by emf
nent critics the finest piece of eques-
trian art in this city, is the latest and
best work of Henry j. Ellicott, whose
soldiers monuments at various places
are well known. 1t represents Han
cock as the sculptor saw him during
the battle of Gettysburg.

question was debated at some length,
but the report was adopted.
DIR. Lanahan moved to reconsider the
vote by which Monday next was set as
the day for election of officers. DR..
Lanahan's motion was carried almost
unanimously. Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday were set. Dr. Buckley
made humorous argument in favor
of Thursday. He referred to the Sab
bath and portrayed the temptations to
break the Sabbath, not by candidates
but by their ardent friends, and begged
that Thursday be substituted. This
date was selected and the elections will
begin on Thursday of this week.
Rev. William II. Wilder, of Illinois,
presented resolution which proposed
to reduce the salaries of all officers,
missionaries and general conference
officers, in view of the general depres-
sion in business and finances. The res
olution was referred to the committee
on temporal economy. A number of
Cleveland clergymen were presented
to the conference and the session ad-
journed.
CLEVELAND, May 13.-Tuesday's ses-
sion of the Methodist conference opened
with Bishop Fowler in the chair. In
the call for resolutions Rev. r. d. Mum
ger presented one of great Importance.
The resolution created commission
on constitution to consist of two minis
ters and two laymen from each district
as it now stands. The resolution re-
cited the fact that there is great ques-
tion as to what parts of the discipline
constitute the constitution of the
church and this commission is en-
powered to draw up constitution.
The members of this commission are
to meet in Chicago on the first Wednes-
day in August.

MONTANA REPUBLICANS.

Send Uninstructed Delegates to the Ma
tional Convention.
BUTTE, Mon, May 12.--The repub-
ican state convention to select dele
gates to the national convention was
held here Monday. The only contest
was between the old line republicans
and the A. p. A., the latter making a
fight against the Endorsement of Sena-
tors Mantle and Carter and Congress-
man Hartman because of their views
on the Indian appropriation bill The
test vote came on motion to seat q

restoration of silver to it's ancient
money function and free coinage at the
ratio of 16 to /.
An effort was made to instruct ma
tional delegates to walk out of the st.
Louis convention in case free silver
was not recognized, but the effort
failed. McKinley's name was very
coldly received and the delegates will
go to st. Louis uninstructed
The convention selected the follow
ing delegates to st. Louis: Senator

Congressman Charles Hartman, Thomas

to the date of their withdrawal The
resolution also called in their male re-
serves. DIR. Neely, of Philadelphia,
presented substitute, In which the
women were invited to remain as guests
of the conference and their expenses
ordered paid. DIR. Cranston rose and
asked for ruling by the chair as to
the present status of women in the
conference.
Bishop Hurst decided it was a mat
ter of Interpretation for the body, and
ruled that DR.. Neely had the floor.
Just after DIR. Neely began speaking,
DIR. Frysinger, of Pennsylvania, ap-
pealed from the decision of the chair
on Dr. Cranston's point. Bishop Hurst
put the question as being on the ap-
peal of DIR. Cranston and great con-
fusion existed. A motion to lay the
entire matter on the table was lost.
DR.. Kynett raised the point of order
that the question had been improperly
put, but Bishop Hurst held that DIR.
Neely had the floor and DIR. Kynett ap-
pealed.
DR.. Neely made himself heard and
said he desired to withdrawn his paper.
Bishop Hurst would not permit this
and the din continued. Finally, forced
by the conference, Bishop Hurst ruled
that both papers were before the house
and he would entertain the appeal.
The ruling of Bishop Hurst was sus-
tanned by vote of 22S yeas and 2O4

den presided over the Methodist gem
eral conference Monday. A resolution
condemning lynchings was referred to
the committee on state of the church.
resolution to prevent a duplication
of studies in the church schools and
public schools in the south was read,

southern California, presented a reso-
luton declaring that color and caste do

claring that the election of a bishop of
African descent should be viewed sole
ly in the light of ability and without
regard to color. 1t was referred to the
committee on episcopacy. The first
formal application for the conference
of 1900 was presented by Saratoga
Springs, N. Y, and was referred to the
committee on entertainment.
The committee on freedmans aid
made its first report on petition from

the committee on eligibility with in
structions to find if possible common
ground of agreement and report this
morning.
CLEVELAND, May s.-Thursday's ses-
sion of the Methodist conference was
presided over by Bishop Foss and the
devotional services were led by the
Rev. Brodbeck, of Charlestown, Mass.
The woman question was the first Or
der of the day. The amended report
from the committee on eligibility was
submitted. 1t averred: That the ques-
tion of eligibility is a constitutional
question. That the general conference
has full power in it's judicial capacity
to interpret the constitution, the ques-
tion being raised on a case which prop
erly invokes the judicial function.
That the terms of paragraph 80,
which relates to mem bership of the
general conference, are such as to
admit of serious doubt and raise a
question on which the conference is
unable to agree. The report then pro-
ceeded to recommend that no formal
decision of the question of eligibility
be made at this time and that, the
challenge not having been decided,
those occupying seats under a title in
dispute continue to hold them without
prejudice and without establishing a
precedent
A section of the report also provided
that the amendments be referred to
the annual conferences of the follow
ing year, and further provided for
two-thirds vote of the general confer
ence and a three-fourths vote of annual
conferences to enact this amendment
into law.
A long discussion of the report fol-
lowed, being concluded by Dr. Buck
ley. The vote was then proceeded

with. The section allowing the women
to retain their seats under title in
dispute" was adopted with only few
dissenting votes. The section sending
the matter to the annual conferences
was also adopted with only five or six
dissenters. This, however, did not set
tie the matter technically. 1t was still
necessary to call the roll of the confer
ence for the formal two-thirds vote.
The roll was then called. The result
of the vote was 425 for giving the wo-
men delegates a seat in the conference,
and submitting the question again to
vote of the annual conferences; against
9s. The vote in each of the annual con-
ferences will be taken at their next
meeting.
A communication was received from
Miss Lydia A. Trimble, delegate from
the Foo Chow (China) conference, de-
clining to hold a seat in the conference
unless it's title was undisputed. The
conference then adjourned for the day.
CLEVELAND, May 9.-The call to or
der at the Methodist general confer

the papers were before the house, DIR.

papers and the most violent struggle
of the first week was over
CLEVELAND, May 11.-Bishop Ninde
presided over the Methodist general
conference Saturday. The first report
from standing committee was pre-
sented from the committee on missions
through Rev. Brodbeck. 1t provides
for the admission in the Methodist
Episcopal church of whole synods, con-
ferences or church societies who agree
with the denomination in doctrine.
The immediate case in view is the ap-
plication of the German Wesleyans,
with $500, 900 in church property and
1880 members, who have applied for
admission to the Methodist Episcopal
church. Their work is in South Ger
many, Austria and Italy. Rev. Schell,
German conference delegate, spoke
in favor of it. The enabling act was
passed by rising vote, and the result
ordered cabled to the Wesleyan synod,
now in session in Stuttgart.
The conference adopted number of
important resolutions, among them one
condemning the Florida law forbid
ding the education of white and col
ored children in the same classes; one
expressing sympathy with down-trod-
den Armenia; one of admiration for
the work of Miss Clara Barton; and
one suggesting a non-sectarian refer
ence to God in the constitution of the
United States

woods in all parts of Clearfield county,
threatening destruction to the entire
timber interests. The high wind of
the past three days spread the flames
like hurricane and all efforts to com.

have been lost so far as is known, but
many narrow escapes are reported.

RAILRoApERS COMBINE.

Six Great Organization. of Employees Agree
to Form a Eederation-Debs' Order Not
Admitted.
ST. LOUIS, May 12.-An important
meeting of railway employees was held
here Sunday at the headquarters of
the Order of Railway Conductors. 1t
represented officially six national Or
ders and brotherhoods. In fact they
may be called international, as the
membership of each includes men en-
ployed on lines in Canada and Mexico.
f. p. Sargent, grand master of the
brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen,
and Patrick FL. Morrissey, grand mas
ter of the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen, were there, as was also e.
e. Clark, grand chief conductor of the
Order of Railway Conductors. Grand
Master Arthur, of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers, was to have
been present, but was unable to cone.
He was officially represented, however,
as were the chief officers of the Switch
mems Union of North America and the
Order of Railroad Telegraphers. There
were some 600 men present in all, in
Guiding district and lodge representa-
tives.
The chief result of the convention
was the adoption of resolution to
form federation of the six orders
named. The present movement has
no opposition whatever The only diff
ference of opinion was on the question
of admitting the American Railway
union. AS first submitted, the propo-
sition included Eugene V. Debs' order,
but an amendment to strike it out was
carried
