GUARDED BY THE TROOPS
Nom Union Men Having Hard
Time at the Brown Hoist
ing Works.
Jeering Crowds Charged by the
Militia and Many Men Are
Wounded.

CLEVELAND, ONO. July 16.-The
strike situation at the Brown Hosting
Works assumed so dangerous phase this
afternoon that three more companies of
troops were hurried to the scene just be-
fore quitting time and are now encamped
at the works. Early in the afternoon
crowds began to assemble and stood about
sulleniy, defiant of police orders to move
on.
There was so much evidence of prear-
ranged plan, every street leading to the
works having its own division of the mob,
that the authorities in hot haste sent for
more troops. When the sixty-three men
who bad been ct work were placed in vans
to be driven home from the works it was
found necessary to charge the mob twice
before passage could be made for the
wagons. The drivers had refused to leave
the stables with the vehicles and police
men did the driving.
During the melee jeers and threats were
hurled at the non-union men, police and
military, and some stones thrown The
severest fighting was on Hamilton street,
and in the charges about forty strikers
were pricked with bayonets. After pass
age had been opened the military had all
it could do to keep the bowling mob from
chasing the wagons.

knock together. Then everything would
settle back in place during the short in
teryal Of qniet, with not a rivet started,
not glass globe shattered.
When Roach & Sons hammered the
Colombia into form four years ago they
builded better probably than even they
knew. She is as flexible as the blade of a
rapier and as fbrous as q watchspring.
With all the cruel battering, twisting,
wrenching and bending that noble frame
comes splendidly back into the lines her
designer drew. As she lies there, her
shapeIy bow to the sunny shore and her
stem to the blue sea. she will sail no more
she dies like queen.
She yields to the stroke that destroys
her, and in death she triumphs. And her
master, Captain Clark, whatever the error
that led his splendid vessel out of the safe
open into the little horseshoe bay that
will be forever associated with her name,
be it the fog that obscured and bewiIdered,
the chartless current that DETECTED, or the
iron environed compass that deviated and
threw the Colombia into the teeth OF the
reef that is eating her life away, conscious
as he is of the grave ever yawning beneath
his keel, bends always his every effort to
the salvation of his ship. And ships and
sailors, too, are oftimes lost.
Captain Clark's manner since the dis
aster has brought him into prominence,
has stamped him a cool, clearheaded man.
He quieted his passengers, held his crew
in hand and while the rocks were ripping
the sheets of metal from his vessel sent
the travellers down to breakfast. Now he
walks the decks, while the reef grinds and
CRATES under him, destroying both the
snip and her master-a quiet, courteous
gentleman.
AT dark heavier swell began to roll in
and the pounding of the hulk on the reef
grew alarming, atleast to the newsp aper
man. The big smokestack pulled hard at
! its guy ropes and the masts whipped in
their steppings like fishrods. The interior
of the vessel creaked ominousy as the
steel bulkheads bent to the awful pressure
of the sea without and the water within.
There was twenty feet in the forward com :
partment and six feet aft, while the mid
die compartment was clear. This left the
engine and freroom dry, but it was ex-
pected every roll that the bulkheads would
go and flood that space, and SO drown the
dynamo and leave the ship in darkness
As precaution all the lanterns were
lighted and well secured where their globes
would not be shattered. Glass has pre-
carious existence in the jump ana plunge
OF the laboring hulk.
AS the night came on the situation grew
more dismal and horrible. A person walk
ing along the unlighted upper deck could
not tell how the vessel was going to roll
or which way. She would slope halt over
in a swing, then go the other way, to
fetch up with bump on the rocks. She
bumped on both sides and in the middle,
and always there was that dreadful saw

on the less the cost to the passengers. The
men mostly lived on Gauge street and Sell
den avenue which lead down to the docks
and shipyards and the scenes there were
indescribable. Men. women and children
ran about screaming and much disorder
prevailed.
By IL o'clock tonight fourteen bodies
have been recovered and taken to the
various Morgues. Among those who were
rescued was Richard Masten, engineer of
the new steamer Sir Henry Bessemer,
which was lying at the ore dock.
When he saw the boat was turning he
jumped, but was caught under the scow
when it turned over, and working his way
underneath the boat, getting air by rising
in the overturned craft, he managed at
last to dive clear of the wreck and swan
to his own vessel and was pulled aboard.
He was the only passenger aside from the
ore handlers.
An immense crowd soon gathered on
the banks of the river watching the work
of the boats conducting the search.
Among them was William Benlow, a
pressman. In moving about he lost his
footing, fell into the river and was
drow ned.
The scenes enacted by the undertakers
were disgusting in the extreme. They al
most came to blows in their anxiety to
gain possession of the bodies, and the po-
lice had to interfere in the interest of de-

Night Scenes Aboard the Wreck
on the Reef Off Pigeon
Point.
GRINDING HER LIFE OUT ON
THE ROCKS.
Captain Clark Ordered the Ship
Abandoned Wednesday Night
at 10 O'Clock.

ON BOARD P. NJ. S. S. COLOMBIA,
ashore off Pigeon Point (via Pescadero),
July 16.-To write with the deck buckling
under ones feet and the long saloon table
twisting like thing in mortal agony with
the pointed rocks gnawing deeper into the
shattered hull at every hurl of the long
ground swell, is not an easy matter, not
for even brief period. To hear the great
steel frame of the ship groan and grind on
its rivets as she waIlows woundedly like
q living creature OF the sea, to hear the
wild and useless blows she strikes at the
cruel reef that holds her in iIs never
Ioosening grip, is apt to make one think
disjointedly and wordlessly, and when
the writer knows that the big metal hull,
under the mighty strain, may break in
two, letting more or less of the crew and
possibly a reporter drop, with an un-
finished story, down among the splintered
plates aud beams, where the incoming sea
can slosh him around carelessly and prob
ably strangle HIM before the sharp frag-
ments of wreck have worked him an in
jury, he is liable to become imbued with a
longing for country life and the stability
OF the everlasting, ever stationary hills.

About Twenty Men Drowned
During the Fearful Struggles
of the Victims.
CROWDED ON AN UNSAFE CRAFT
Loaded to the Gunwa1e by Living
Freight the Vessel Is Easily
Swamped.

CLEVELAND, OHIO, July 16.-The most
appalling disaster which has ever occurred
in Cleveland, excepting only the Viaduct
horror last winter, when loaded street.
car plunged 100 feet into the river, oc-
Cured tonight at o'clock. While a fat
bottomed ferryboat, loaded with between
forty and fifty laborers, was crossing the
old river channel it was capsiEed and all
the men thrown into the channel and be-
tween fifteen and twenty drowned.
The bodies found thus far are those of:
Charles Sproeke, married. seven children;
William Saunders, married, one child;
August Hasten, married; Michael Lynch;
Fritz Bortels; Chris Gerlach; = Prokup;
Charles Bohermeister, married; Julius
Erkhe, married Chris Gehren, married /;
unknown man at Gallagher's morgue; un-
known man at Hogan & Sherer's morgue
Charles Kraus, widower. three children; !;
Edward Ryan, married.
The accident was due to a panic on
board. The boat was loaded until the
gunwhale was only three inches above the
water. and passing tug made waves
which came into the boat. At once there
was a rush to the other side and the boat
went under. The men were members of a
gang of ore handlers and were coming
home from work.
The scene in the river was one of wild
strug gle for life. Men grappled each other
and went down in their fierce struggles,
while cries for help struck horror to the
souls of witnesses. Lines and life pre-
servers were thrown from the tug and the
steamer London, which was also passing,
and many were pulled aboard. Others of
the unto rtunates were rescued by small
boats and some swan ashore.
The life-saving crew was summoned and
the work OF searching for bodies at once
began. Within short time seven of the
unfortunates were brought to shore and
taken to the Morgue for identification.
Those who escaped scattered in every
, direction and it is uncertain just how
many lives were lost Twenty men are re
ported missing and the dragging of the
channel Is still in progress.
The crowding of the boat was due to the
fact that the ore gangs pay just so much
] per trip on the ferry and the more that got

Your correspondent boarded the wrecked

Your correspondent boarded the wrecked
Colombia yesterday evening, intending to
go ashore after learning her condition and
abou: how long she will probably hold to-
gether in her uneasy bed.
The rising tide lifted the after part of
her body clear of the rocks, leaving the
extreme forward portion resting on the
reef When the tide is high she pivots, as
1t were, on her strong stem, which grinds
and grinds into the ledge and keeps the
water in that locality thick with mud,
broken shells and torn-up weeds. That
dismal crunching can be heard sounding
out of the sea night and day. The doomed
Colombia struggles hard and rends the
rocks in her dying. Then she rolls-not
the smooth, graceful swing of the ship IN
clining to the sloping send of the sea, but
heave. jerk and a heavy shock that
booms duly through her frame. There IS
a twist in the hull, caused by the motion
of the floating stern under the strokes OF
the waves. If one is carelessly standing
near longitudinal bulkhead he is fetched
up standing against it, and if he is close
to thwartship partition he catches that
too. Often he gets them both.
From the wide rents in the bottom the
water has come in, filling the forward hold
flush between decks and washing off the
hatch covers In this hold were stored
cases, large and small. of merchandise.
By the Dumping of the vessel the boxes
were dislodged and broken open, and the
violent churning of the mass of water did
the rest. No name can be given to that
mixture of broom-handles, gayly painted
chiIdren's toys, canned vegetables, pack
ages OF underwear, tinware, baskets, rolls
of pap It, straw and thousands of splint-
ers. Cases of lines were ground to frag-
ments, and the odorous contents squashed
and squeezed among the debris. That
hold is veritable lemonade bowl, and the
pungent citric smell of its contents per-
vades the whole ship.
a large consignment of oohre- colored
footballs float merrily in the big tank, and
the writer got several duckings in his
frantic efforts to secure one as memento.
During the afternoon several of the crew
engaged in the rather perilous pastime OF
fishing for articles over the hatch comb
ings. To lave been thrown among that
mass by the jump of the hull and washed
under the deck by that rushing whirlpool
would have been destruction to the fisher.
As the tide rose the motion of the vessel
became freer and more violent. The
grinding under the sea and the fall of the
great hulk onto the rocks makes one feel
earthquaky-that cold sensation about the
heart which is always apparent when sub
terranean tremors come up ones legs and
spread over the nerve centers. The steel
bulkheads began to buckle and roll into
ridges like canvas screen, and the strong
decks, braced to the metal beams, ran in
waves fore and aft. The ponderous ma.
chinery in the engine-room would spring
upward fully six inches and swing from
starboard to port, while massive boilers
facing each other would appear to almost

Battle of New Orleans.

 The British accounts of the battle of New Orleans attribute the defeat to the Itactioal mistakes of Pakenham and his | he had before him. With all the arro- | gance of a martinet he imagined that the | militia who faced him would break at
 | the first charge. He did not live to learn

 certain that the former power will not
 l go beyond a bluff.
 | However explained, the battle will | always be remembered as the best proof of the strength and fighting qualities of 1 the American. which he possesses today l to the same degree as in 1915. The expe- dition to New Orleans was one of the
 strongest and best equipped ever sent out | from England. The troops were the | flower of the British army. commanded
 by It's best generals. The commander-in- l chief was a brother-in-law of Yelling | ton, and had served with him in Spain
 and the bulk of the British army was
 l,composed of the veterans. of the penin-
 sular campaign, men who had met and
 driven back Napoleon's best men and
 marshals. England had just succeeded l in crushing the French emperor and sud- l denly found herself at peace with the whole world, with an army of veterans on her hands. The idea was then con- ceived of using these veterans to strike the young republic across the Atlantic blow that, if not fatal, would at least give England control over the Mississippi valley. Fully equipped, strong in numbers, ably commanded, the expedition left for l Louisiana, with never an idea in the head of any Englishman that 1t would not l sweep everything before 1t. It met few backwoodsmen, commanded by a man who knew nothing of the ''art of war" as practiced in Europe, and was defeated as England never was defeated before and never has been since. An army of 14. .450 British was overwhelmed by half as many Americans, with loss of over 5000 men, while the American loss was only six killed. 1t lost it's commander and number of other generals, its scaling lad ders, cannon, etc, and soon after sailed away from our shores, glad to escape. As long as Chalmette is remembered Americans will feel that they can go into | a. foreign war confident of success. They have not grown less strong or less, patri- otic than they were then. A gigantic civil war, the greatest of modern times, has taught them more of warfare than they knew eighty years ago. and the alarm today would call to arms nearly 1000, 900 men who have had the best military ex- perienee. But even without these million veterans we would have nothing to fear. The United States is ten times greater in population than on January 8, 1915. and has increased more than tenfold i'll wealth and strength. It has grown faster than any other country, and is no longer the petty republic which Great Britain expected to crush so easily eighty years ago.

 Its Secrets.
 Prof. w. H. Morse of Westfield, N J., made an examination of the composition and medicinal value of the well-known catarrh remedy, Pe-ru-na. He says of Pe-ru-na that this remedy "has com mended itself to medical men and their patients as a specific for the grippe and Its sequela. It fully approves itself for this purpose, and is remedial for all bron- chial troubles. It's action is both local and constitutional, and 1t is entirely harmless. The distinction accorded to it belongs to no other remedy of which we know"
 Catarrh of head, nose, ears and throat. bronchial tubes, lungs, stomach, liver, kidneys, bladder and other pelvic organs can be cured by a course of Pe-ru-na. Dr. Hartman has used this catarrh remedy for nearly forty years with great success.
