TERRIBLE DISASTER AT SEA.
Fire Breaks Out in Her Hold and Suffo-
oates sixteen PersOns.

Fire Breaks Out in Her Hold and Suffo-
Gates sixteen Persons.
New York, May 1o.-The Mallory line
steamer Leona, which left her pier on
Saturday bound for Galveston, took
fire at sea, put back, and arrived In
port last night with sixteen corpses on
board. The dead were thirteen steer
age passengers and three members OF
the crew who succumped to q terrible
fire which secured off the Delaware
capes at an early hour yesterday morn
ing. The horror Of the story can hardly
be told. Those who are dead were
penned below decks, and although fran
tic efforts were made by the officers of
the vessel TO save them, the fire had
gained such terrific Roadway before the
danger was discovered that all escape
was cut off The steamer carried in her
cargo many bales of cotton. 1t is not
certain how the fire originated, but
when it was discovered it burst forth
with such fury that it was impossible
to reach the Storage.
Even then the Storage passengers APP
parently were unmindful Of the danger,
else the smoke and flames had not
reached them. The saloon passengers
were first aroused. and in such a man
ner as to occasion little alarm. When
1t became apparent that the fire had cut
off the Storage the captain and his men
poured great quantities Of water down
the v~entilators and the most frantic eff
forts were made for the escape of those
penned up. In this way eight of the
steeraGe passengers made their escape.
The dead are: Storage passengers

Both houses nave now passed the bill
appropriating 50, 500 annually for carry
ing out the provisions of the law reauir-
ing that there be taught in the public
schools of the state the best methods of
preventing and restricting dangerous
communicable diseases. This fund Is
handled by the state board OF health.
upon which devolves the duty of fur
nishing the teachers throughout the
state with the required data. This in
formation Is compiled In pamphlet form
and is corrected from time to time as
conditions change SO that 1t is always
up to date. A canvass OF the fifty or
more superintendent of schools who at
tended the annual meeting of the city
superintendent association last week
shows that both teachers and pupils
have entered most heartily into his
work. and that the results are, without
exception. most gratifying in all the
schools. 1t Is looked upon as one of the
most important features of the work.

The corporations received another set
back last Friday when the house took
from the committee on private corpora
lions the bill fixing a maximum rate for
telephone service. This was a struggle
between the Independent and Bell tele-
phone companies and, so far as this
round counts, the former won, the COM
mittee having, by a majority vote, de-
cided to ~pigeon-hole the bill. 1t may
prove a barren victory, however, for
there is grave doubt of the measure
passing he house. 1t fixes a maximum
rate graded on the population Of the
city. the rate in each case being nearly
SO per cent. below what the Bell COM
pany has been in the habit of charging.
1t was not such a bill as the independ-
ent companies most desired, however. The
measure which they strenuously adj
vocated fixed a minimum instead Of a
maximum rate. In other words II pro-
vided that IL the Bell company. in order
to freeze out an adversary, dropped to
a nominal rate In any city, that rate
should govern in all cities of the same
class throughout the state, the cities be-
ing classified In the bill on the basis OF
population. The committee was uani.
mously OF the opinion hat his bill was
clearly unconstitutional inasmuch as II
would wholly eliminate competition.

THE PULLMAN WILL

Nine out of ten American women
were indignant over the provision Of
the Pullman will which cut off the prof
ugate twin boys with a paltry $4,000
each, per annum, but which gave mill
Ions to charities and other deserving
Institutions and individuals. A major
iIy Of American men approved the wis
dom Of Pullman, holding that there
was no other way for him to force his
sons to honorable exertion and into
manly, self-reliant manhood. But ev-
erybody concluded that the mother
would take care of the boys by leaving
them her own fortune of a million or
more. The two girls, however, who were
engaged TO marry each respectively one
of the twins, backed out, having no
faith in the boys without money, and
too much confidence in the youth and
good health Of the mother. Now comes
a sequel which may make the girls re-
gret their hasty action. The Illinois law
allows widows a year in which TO de-
eide between wills and dowries, and it
is reported that Mrs. Pullman has re-
nounced her intention of accepting the
million or so to which her husband 5
will entities her and will demand her
tower of about three and a half mill
ions. If Mrs. Pullman shall claim her
dover the twins will be millionaires in
them only $1,000 annual income each
because OF their extravaganza.

NINETY MILLIONS.

America is noted the world over for
its big things The admiration of man.
kind is being continually challenged by
the stupendous enterprises successfully
conducted in the United States, enter
prises numerous in number and varied
in character. Only in one marked par
ticllar have the people of this country
failed in equalling and SURPRISING those
of European countries. America has
boasted no banking institutions Of the
magnitude Of like institutions found In
The commercial centerS OF Europe.
Americas national banks are scattered
not only, but are in numbers in all OF
the larger cities. 1t will be remembered
that last year many bank consultations
occurred throughout the country, sew
eral in the city Of New York. One OF
these consultations is by its magnitude
and subsequent rapid development, at
tracing much attention. 1t looks as
though it would soon rival the Bank of
England itself 1t has shot ahead OF
all its competitors in the volume OF IT'S
assets, its loans, deposits and reserves.
This big banking institution seems to
be gathering headway like an ava
lanche. Last Saturdays weekly state
ment showed this bank to have deposits
exceeding S91 100000 with more than
SOS, 600, 900 in specie and legal tenders
in its vaults. Such figures have never
been known in any of our other national
banks, or even in the greatest of the
savings banks and trust. companies.
The recent growth of this gigantic
bank has been astonishing, and if it
shall continue a few weeks more, at the
same pace, the deposits will exceed
500 600. 900 before the end Of the year.
That will render possible a worthy
comparison with some of the most fa-
nous banks of the old world which en-
joy more or less government support or
monopoly. More and more, this coun-
try is becoming the land of big things,
and big figures, the biggest on earth,
in many respects.
