DEATH UNDER The LAKE.

Eleven Worltmen in the New WaterworISs
Tunnel at Cleveland, o., are Killed by
Explosions of Gas.
Cleveland, July 12.-One of the most
terrible and fatal disasters in the his
tory of this city occurred last even
ing in the new tunnel being built from
the shore out into the lake for n dis
tance of $500 feet. At little before
Z o'clock there was a series of eXplo-
sions of gas, ten in number, and when
a rescuing party went out to the scene
of the disaster it was found that the
following workmen had been killed:
John Parks, foreman, aged 80 years,
single.
James Parks, brother of John, aged
30, single.
Gus Waltz, aged 2s, married; father
of several children.
John Fradey, aged %, single.
Tony Brumetti, an Italian, aged 90
single.
Frank Clements, 27, married.
Frank Haney, 20 years old, married.
Emerson Smith, aged A, married
and the father of a large family.
John McCauley, 81, married.
Frank Lamba, aged %, single.
William Tucker, colored, aged &c
single.
Only one man of the 12 in the tunne
at the time escaped. He is Con O'Don

description of the affair, as he does
not know how he came to escape OF
what caused the explosion.

A DANGEROUS CUSTOMER.

Spanish Cruiser is Loading a Big Lot of
Food and Ammunition at "A Mexican Port,
Intending to Run the Blockade.
Washington, July 12.-Gen. Blanco is
making desperate efforts to get in sup
plies through the American blockade
lines. Inspired by the successful at
tempt of the Purissima Conception to
land supplies on the island of Cuba, he
is now causing to be loaded another
steamer at a Mexican port, with the
intention of running the blockade and
bringing in food and ammunition to
Havana. This is n large ship and she
already has taken on n bountiful sup
ply of food and is expected to load
100000 cartridges. The craft is be-
lieved to be the steamer Montevideo,
now at Vera Cruz, and protests have
been lodged with the Mexican govern
ment by the American consul there
against the clearance of the vessel.
The Montevideo is an auxiliary
cruiser of the Spanish navy and car
ries a considerable battery, including
two Hontoria guns and a secondary
battery, which would make her for
midable opponent for most of the
smaller craft now blockading the
southern coast of Cuba and off Ha-
vana, for the monitors have been with
drawn and are now at Key West. No
tice of the vessels movements will be
communicated to the blockading
squadron promptly and it is improba-
BILE that she will be able TO repeat the
feat of the Purissima Conception.

Nelsonville, July 13. - Extensive
preparations for handling the peach
crop of this section are being made by
fruit growers, whose estimates were
incorrect on the amount of peaches
for this season. Peaches thought to
have been killed in the bud during
the early spring by cold snap are
found to be in perfectly healthy con-
dition, with few exceptions. 1t is
thought by conservative judges that
the peach crop of '9s will equal if not
surpass crops of late years, not only
in quantity, but also size and solidity.

All doors open in the middle and are

as windows. ALI such doors opening on

ONE MAY BE SAVED.
Report of Naval Experts who Examined
the WreckA of Cervern,a ShIpH.

Report of Naval Experts who Examined
the Wrecks of Cervera's Ships,
OFF Santiago de Cuba, Kingston, July
12.-The board of survey appointed to
examine the wrecks of the Spanish
ships and to inquire into the nature
of their injuries reports that only one
ship can possibly be saved. She is
the Infanta Maria Teresa, the former
flagship of Admiral Cervera.
The hull of the Cristobal Colon
shows that she was only hit six times
and then only by shells of eight-inch,
five-inch and six-inch calbre. This
verifies the story that the commander
of the Cristobal Colon surrendered
because he saw she could not get away
from the Brooklyn and Oregon, and
to continre the battle meant n sacri-
flee of life. 1t was found that the
brass plugs of the large guns and the
bolts and locks of the small arms had
been thrown overheard.
The Vizcaya showed that she had
been riddled by the Brooklyn and
Oregon. She had not been struck by
projectiles larger than eight inches.
Her upper works were riddled by one
and siX-pounder shells. Nearly all of
these shells exploded inside the super
structures and must have driven the
men from the guns. This confirms
the story of Capt. Eulate that the
Brooklyn's secondary battery fire was
so terrible that the men deserted their
guns.
The magazines of all the ships ex-
| ploded and the effect was to blow up
the decks and not completely pulverize
the hull or turn the keel up, as in the
case of the battleship Maine. This is
looked upon as being important.
Washington, July 12.-Naval officials
say serious irregularity occurred at
the time the ships of Cerveras feet
hauled down their colors and surren.
dered. The breech blocks of the guns
were thrown overheard, thus disabling
the guns and making them practically
worthless, and the valves by which
| the ships were flooded were opened
after the surrender, when under the
rules of warfare the enemy had ceased
| fighting and had asked for quarter.

President of the Window Glass Workers

Convention.
Pittsburg, July 12.-The National
Window Glass Workers convention
met here Monday to consider the wage
question, but President Burns, who
has opposed the holding of the con-

Winner, of Barnesville, o., was elected
temporary chairman and committee
was appointed to notify Mr.. Burns
that the convention was regularly or
ganized and he was expected to pre-
side. President Burns claims that a
convention at this time is unnecessary.
President Burns told the committee
that he refused to have anything to do
with the convention. Secretary Peter
also refused to participate. The con-
vention decided to go ahead with the
convention and effected permanent
organization before the election of the
following officers: President, Dexter

A good Mexican cook relieves the
mistress of the house of worry and re-

most unknown in the United States.
The cook is given so much a day. and
with this amount she will purchase
each morning all the provisions for
the day, including even the staples
that are usually bought in large guam
titles in other countries. On dollar
day cook will provide n very good
table for a family of three or four,
and get enough beans and tortillas and
chile to set the servants table besides.
They can really do better than their
mistresses, because they can usually
drive sharper bargains with the mar
ketmen of their own class, and they
have more patience to haggle over the
last penny.
