TO DEATH.
Cause Of the Accident is
Not Known.

New York, Dec, 2-The Mallory line
steamship Alamo had just swung out
from her pier. at 20 East river, at
o. clock tonight, when an 1l-inch feed
pipe burst and six men in the room
were scalded to death. Four others
who were in the room escaped Ona

dead are;
Patrick Murphy, second engineer
Timothy McHugh, assistant en-
gineer.
Frank Mcmahon, fireman
Al. Council. fireman
J. L, Ryan, coal heaven
Patrick Farrell, oiler
The injured passenger is John Mano-
laby. He was scalded about the face
and hands and taken to the hospital.
The pipe that burst connected the
four boilers to the steam. A Joint in
the ply in the upper engine room part
ed, with an outburst of steam.
Hugh Canning, chief engineer of the
vessel: John Ryan, the port engineer
of the Mallory line; r. B. Robinson, an
assistant engineer, and others escaped,
more or less badly scalded. The other
men in the engine room were hardly
recognizable when their bodies were
taken out, an hour or two later.
The Alamo was to have sailed for
Galveston at Ito today, but for some
reason her sailing was postponed until
I o'clock tonight, when She was ready
to sail The fire under all boilers, two
fires in all, were lighted and steam was
up. There was about so pounds pressure
on the feed pipe when the hange part
ed. The tug President was lying just
in front ready to tow the vessel out
and the order to cast off had lust been
given when the explosion occurred. The
captain of the Alamo, John Xix
rushed to the boiler room and at once
ordered the fires drawn Nothing could
/ be done to rescue the men inside of the
/ engine room. AS soon as possible the
captain and crew rushed IN and found
1 only the cooked bodies OF their COM
panions There were IS passengers
on board and most of them were on
deck when the explosion occurred.
| There was no excitement aboard the
steamer, as the explosion was not heard
loud, and few of them knew for some
time that six men had been killed.
Mr.. Stoneman. the passenger who
was scalded, was standing looking into
the boiler. room, when the pipe parted
and the rushing flood of steam scald-
ed his face and hands. His injuries
however. are not very serious.
Capt. Xix would make no statement
tonight. He said he could give no in
formation regarding the men who had
been killed, as only their names ai,-
peared on the ships register
John Ryan, the experimenting engi-
neer Of the Mallory, was placed under
arrest.
Robert Mallory of the Mallory line.

dent occurred. He said that, so far as
he could see, no blame could be at
tached to any one.

lived IN this city, Nothing is known

FATE OF THE PENTAGoET'
There is the Greatest Anxiety Felt Con-
corning the Vessel.

Provincetown, Dec. 3-That there is
great anxiety over the fate Of the Pen
tagoet is shown by the receipt here
yesterday and today Of a great number
OF letters, kilograms and messages in
curing for news of that vessel. The
observer at Highland Light saw the
Pentagoet at p. m. on Saturday, go
ing eastward.
This report is confirmed by the Race
Point lookout. At that time the wea-
Their was fairly clear. Mariners say
that the Pentagoet, having passed
Highland Light so early in the after
noon. she should have been far to the
eastward when the storm broke
She, too, must have been overwhelnn-
ed by the great seas, for had she gone
ashore anywhere north Of Cape Ann,
possibly on reef or island off the
Maine coast, some piece of wreckage
would have drifted ashore long before
this time. Theory figures but slightly
in the mind of the mariner here, but
it is thought she failed to stand the aw-
full trial and Went down.
Great interest was manifested this
afternoon over the report of an incom-
ing vessel that a mass of wreckage
was sighted some distance north Of the
cape. More definite description, how
ever, brought the opinion that it is the
hull of schooner of about 100 tons
burden. The wreckage appeared to be
drifting toward the cape. At II a m
today the same Wreckage was reported
by the Race Point life saving station.
There is nothing about it to show that
it is in any way connected with the
wreck of either the Portland or Penta-
e0et

WCTORS 8ANQUETED.
The Harvard Foot Sail Eleven Given a
Complimentary Dinner

Boston, Dec. 3-The famous victories
Of the Harvard foot ball eleven of 1898
over the University of Pennsylvania
and the Yale eleyens, We're celebrated in
a manner tonight which fully made up
for the lack of opportunity for such
celebrations in years past A compH-
mentary dinner was given the team and
the coaches, at the American House
by the athletic association of Harvard
graduates, with which nearly 500 stu
dents and graduates attended and at
which the principal guests We're His
EXcelleucy Roger Wolcott governor Of
Massachusetts. and Gov-elect Theodore
Roosevelt of New York, both ex-Har-
ward men.
The gathering was marked with great
enthusiasm and the cheering seemed
almost continuous. The guests table
was occupied by Gov. Wolcott and Col.
Roosevelt, Henry L. Higginson, Charles
Beamans of New York, +. j. Stimson
of New York, J. J. Storrow (class Of
49, who acted as chairman of the gath
ering), J. H. Sears Captain of the team
Of 49, who acted as toastmaster) and
the various elevens.
Gov, Wolcott referred to the fact that
1900 Harvard men had served in the
civil war, and that Harvard had again
done her duty in the late war.
Col Roosevelt was introduced to the
toast, Teddy Roosevelt, an honest man
and a fearless gentleman" His ova-
ton was tremendous. He said, in
opening:
This has been a great year for Har-
ward, the team won and I won my
self.
Without any comparison of the de-
grees Of civilization in New York and
Massachusetts,, l might mention that it
IS more difficult for a Harvard man to
be elected governor Of New York than
it is in Massachusetts. 1 know how
felt during the campaign, when Har-
ward won from Pennsylvania. I ac-
cepted it as good omen for me"
He then proposed a toast to be drunk
standing, in solemn memory of those
Harvard students and graduates who
gave their lives for then country in the
recent war. The entire company stood
and the scene was an impressive one.
Col Roosevelt then spoke particularly
of the work of the men from other
colleges who We're in his regiment.
Capt. Dibblee of the Harvard team
made a short speech, in which he said
that the credit of the victory was due
to the entire eleven and their coaches.
