The skins of animals seem proper for

which will always remind her of his te-
merity. That sounds nice and sentiment

Two Men Missing.

Two members of the crew are missing and it is thought one was blown over- board and drowned. The other, who it Is supposed was luckless enough to light the fatal match, is either buried under the mass of debris or torn into small pieces. A gag of men was put to work grappling for the supposed drowned man.
 One peculiar feature of the affair is that nearly all the men were more or less burned while the shattered tim bers were not even chared. The flames flashed up and almost immediately dis appeared.
 The officers of the crew are: Captain Brooks, First Mate John Dillon and Purser D. Phillips.
 The first report circulated was that the boilers had gone up, but this was a mistake as they are intact.

SWAM IN | HEAYY SEA.
Close Swimming Contest at Manhattan
 Club House Pier.

It was ladies' day yesterday in the Manhattan club at the club house, Saw in Rock About 300 ladies and gentle men, members of the club, their wives and invited guests, assembled for a so- cial afternoon ana evening. A mo- ment or two before the storm broke in it's fury the Thorn club, sixteen mem bers, and their lady friends, landed at the pier and took refuge ill the club house. The party had been sailing on the bay and put for shore when warn- ings of a thunderstorm appeared.
 A swimming contest had been ar ranged to take place under the club auspices. The match was to be first of three races for the Manhattan cup. and in spite of the heavy sea which washed the first veranda and the lightning and the terrific thunder claps, the swim mers did brave battle with the heavy sea.
 The start was from stakes near the pier, and the contestants swan 100 yards in toward shore. Jacob Strouse came in first by about three yards, his time being one minute and tifty-seven seconds. Eugene Skinner was second, Joseph Carroll third and Edward Sparks fourth. The three last named finished scarcely head apart. It was a very close and beautifully fought contest The judges were Isaac Nal Iory, William H. Wiley and Jacob Goodrich of Hartford. Ed Wilcox of Springfield held the watch, and Will liam Fisher was starter.
 The second race of the series will come off two weeks from yesterday and the final race the week following. | MT. Kelsey furnished fire works for the evening, but the doWnpour prevent ed that part of the programme. It will therefore, be postponed until two weeks hence.
 Every Friday hereafter during the rest of the season will be observed as ladies' day at the club house. In about two weeks the club will conduct sim gle sculling match for which two con- testanst have already entered. Ten years old Harry Warren will at that time swim against time. He was to have done so yesterday, but the storm prevented. At the next ladies' day a supper. with Skeeles as caterer will be served to members and their invited | friends.
 | The Manhattan club is the youngest of New Havens social organizations. It was incorporated April IS, 1897. It will i open club rooms in town next fall. Its shore club house Is at the end of the pier leading out from Skeeles' pavilion at Savin Rock.
 The club bought the house from an estate, and also the right to use the pier, with the privilege of rebuilding when the condition of the pier may ren- der that necessary. Meetings are held the last Tuesday of every month.
 The officers are: Edward H. Will Hams. president; Charles Pager, secre-
 tary; Lines Crane, treasurer; Julius
 Hartenstein, steward.
 The members of the committee in
 charge of the aquatic sports, are: Ed
 ward H. williams chairman; Lines

HELD UP NEAR WILTON.
Mrs. James R. Howe of Brooklyn Robbed
 but ROcoYers Her Prnnerfy.


 but ROcovers Her Property.
 New York, July 23.-George l.. Burr of this city brought to-day from Fair field, Conn.,, a story of the holding up and robbery of the wife and young son of James R. Howe of Brooklyn last on an unfrequented road near Wilton Conn. MT. Burr is brother of Mrs. Howe. The Howes' country home is at North Salem. N r., near the Con- necticut line, and Mrs. Howe and her sixteen-year-ol son started on We'd nesday afternoon to drive to Greenfield, Conn.
 On the outskirts of Wilton they stop- ped in a little wood to rest and strolled some way from the carriage. Mrs Howe saw a fairly we'll dressed man run out of a thicket and halt in front of the wagon and at the same time realized that she had left her handbag in the carriage containing valuable papers, worth several hundred dollars, considerable jewelry and large sum of money. Mrs. Howe and her son pur- sued the man and were within a few feet of the robber when he turned quickly about and drawing a revolver said he would use it if necessary. Mrs Howe suddenly screamed with all her might and the robber again threatened to shoot.
 Then he again turned and started for the woods. Young Mir. Howe followed the thief and yelled at him. The rob- Der got scared and hurled the grip in the middle of the road and disappeared in the thicket.
 Mrs. Howe told some farmers of her experience and an effort was made to catch the highwayman, but without success.

MINE STRIKE UNCHANGED.
The Situation Shows No Material Chang,
 From Yesterday.

Pittsburg, Pa., July 23.-The situation in this district has not materially changed to-day. The efforts of the ar- bitration commissioners have been so far successful that call for meeting of operators on Tuesday next has been issued. It is signed by w. R. De Ar mitt for the New York and Cleveland Gas Coal company; J. B. Serbe for the Ohio and Pennsylvania company; E. Young for M. A. Hanna & Co.,; George w. Slenderberg for the F. l.. Robbins company, and other leading operators of the district. These names to the notice of a meeting are sufficient to r guarantee of the success of the gather ing in point of attendance.
 The Cannonsburg region has produced no sensational features to-day. The striking miners are still encamped near the Allison and Boone mines to per sua,de workers from going to work but as the hearing in the injunction case was postponed from this afternoon until Monday there is little danger of any conflict at present because the mine owners have announced that their mines would remain closed down until after the hearing.
 As far as the injunction is concerned, the strikers claim that it will have no effect, as it restraints them from what they have no intention of doing. They say that they will molest no one; that they are content to wage a battle of peace and order, and that as they have public sentiment on their side they are bound to win. Should the injunction be made perpetual the operators, it is surmised, will make an attempt to re- sumo work. If they do there will be trouble as long as there are any strik- CTS in the vicinity of the mine.
 There are vague rumors of march on the mines of the New York and | Cleveland Gas Coal company. There | is no doubt among the men that they can induce the miners to quit work.

Remark by Thorn's Counsel Would Seem
 to Imply That He Is.
 New York, July 23.-Lawyer William Howe, the attorney for Martin Thorn, called at the morgue this morning and displayed an order of the court, and was permitted to look at the various pieces of the dismembered body which are being preserved in jars. Lawyer Howe examined the finger nails and overlapping toes and said that it was absurd to declare that the body was Guldensuppe's by those marks, as he himself had the same kind of marks. MT. Howe says that there will be some surprise when Guldensuppe walks into court and denies that the body all cut up and preserved at the morgue be- longs to him.

It Will be Taken This Afternoon at 3
 o'clock.

Washington, July 23.-The final vote on the tariff conference report will be taken in the senate at 3 D. m. to-mor- row. 4 unanimous agreement to this effect was reached in the senate late this afternoon after an exciting and dramatic debate. The proposition for the final vote came most unexpectedly from democratic sources, the senior senator from Alabama, MT. Morgan, presenting it. It was greeted with shouts of good, good" from senators on the republican side, who for the first time saw the path clear for the final enactment of the tariff bill. Mir Morgan's proposition was coupled with one that the senate meet at 10 a. m. to- morrow in order that speeches may be heard before the vote is taken. This was accepted as a whole, and the agree ment was formally announced. Mir Morgan expressed profound reluctance in submitting the proposition, but said he recognized the right of the majority to register their will.

tendent Cornell said last night that he was unable to give any other reason for the explosion than that some one of the deck hands lighted his pipe III the hatchway leading to the fo'eastls and the naphtha in the preparation used by Reed ignited therefrom with the results above given.
 MT. Connell estimated the loss at S6,- 900, with the proba ability that the S7,oOo mark may be reached. The boat has been in service only few years, and the work of repairing was at once be- gun. The officers of the boat had sup per at o'clock and were nearly all ashore when the explosion took place.

New York, July 23--A deluge of rain, accompanied by hurricane of wind and a vivid display of lightning, fell in this city this afternoon. The storm lasted for about an hour doing consid- erable damage to property. Shade trees on the avenues and side streets were blown down, and in some in- stances travel was delayed by the ob- structions. Telegraph and telephone wires were blown down in many places and for a time communication with other cities was seriously interrupted.

The occupants of the building f,t 1,yr ha currence. The course of the lightning was marked by spiral grooves which were made in the immense flag pole. The flag pole on the top of the Bank of Commerce, corner of Nassau and Center streets, was shattered by anoth- CT shaft of lightning.
