BLOWN UP ON THE OHIO RIVER,
FIVE TUG MEN SENT sKYwARD
TO DEATH.
Crew Were Asleep When the Explo-
sion occurred-only Three Es-
capped Uninjured-Awful Sight.


Pittsburg, Pa. Jan. s.-The tow boat
Perry Kelsey, owned by w. II. Brown
Sons, of this city, blew up while going
down the Ohio river. near Glenfield,
Pa. about IL O'Clock, this morning and
six or eight of the crew were killed and
at least four of the others injured.
The boat was commanded by captain
Leslie Jones, of Shousetown, Pa, and
the crew was made up of two pilots,
a chambermaid, cook and the deck
hands, in all II persons.
The Kelsey left Pittsburg about 8
o'clock this morning with tow con-
sisting of seven barges and two flats
of coal and everything was apparently
all right until the explosion took place,
when the boat was literally blown to
pieces and the tow scattered and lost.
The hull sunk almost Immediately and
the shattered portion of the upper
works fioated down the river and COW
cred the water in the vicinity Of the
wreck. q,
The explosion was most terrific and
was heard for miles. Hundreds of per-
sons ran to the river upon hearing the
noise, and an awful sight met their
gaze. Bodies were floating down the
river and the DEBRIS was scattered lar
and wide. but no live person was seen.
A few minutes later, Captain Jones and
three others were picked up alive, but
badly injured, and one body fioated
ashore near Neville island. The injured
were removed to Captain Crows resi-
dence on Neville island, where every
thing possible was done to alleviate
their sufferings. 1t is believed that the
rest of the crew were killed, and par
ties are now searching for their bodies.
1t is not known at present what
caused the explosion. The boats boil
ers were recently tested, and found to
be in good condition. The boat was
considered one of the best and staunch
est on the river. 1t was valued at
S25, 1000.
A dispatch from Glenfeld says:
when the boat blew up, Pilot
Woods was asleep in the pilot house
only few feet from Captain Jones.
Others of the crew were also asleep.
The pilot was thrown hig hin the air
and fell right where a few minutes be-
fore the pilot house was. He was dead
when found and a pitiable sight was
his son, only a few feet away, injured
very badly. He was pleading TO help
his father. Captain LeslierJones- was
injured by bad cut in the head and
his back badly sprained. The body of
the fireman was blown ashore near
where the accident occurred. Only three
Of the crew escaped uninjured.

AID FOR CUBA.
Proclamation to Americans to Help
Our Famished Neighbors.

OuI d1l1-oi1C0
washington, Jan. S.-The following
proclamation was issued today by the
department of state:
Washington, Jan. 8, 1898
To the Public:
The undersigned, secretary of state
of the United States, had the honor,
on the oath of December, to make
known to all charitably disposed people
in this country the appeal of the presi-
dent for aid in the form of money or
supplies toward the speedy relief of the
distressing restitution and suffering
which exists among the people of Cuba.
The gratifying interest which his
countrymen have shown in all parts of
our land in that humane appeal has led
the president to recognize the need of
orderly and concerted effort, under well
directed control, if timely assistance is
to be given by the public to the sick
and needy of Cuba He has, therefore,
appointed, with the cooperation of the
American Red Cross, the New York
chamber of commerce and one of the
representatives Of the religious COM
munity, Central Cuban Relief COM
mittee, with headquarters in New York,
composed OF the following members:
Stephen E. Barton, chairman, second
vice president of the American Nation
al Red Cross: Charles A Scheiren, a
member of the New York chamber of
commerce, and Louis Klopsch, proprie-
tor of the Christian Herald.
1t will be the office of the committee
organized not only to receive and for
ward to the United States consul gen
eral at Havana, such money and neces-
sary supplies as may be contributed by
the people of the United States. but to
invoke in its own name and through
the three great interests it fifty repre-
sentS. the concurrent effort of local re-
lief boards throughout the United
States and invite the kindly aid of the
transportation agencies of the country
for the prompt conveyance of contrib
uted supplies to the seaboard and their
shipment thence to Cuba.
The consul general of Havana is, in
turn. assured of the effective co-opera-
ton of every available agency in the
island of Cuba in order that life may
be saved and suffering spared. The
Spanish government welcoming the aid
thus rendered, will facilitate the work
and to that end will admit into Cuba,
free of duty and charges, all articles
otherwise liable to tax when duly con-
signed to the consul general.
BY direction of the president the
undersigned appeals to the people in
every town and city, to municipal Off
GERS thereof, local boards of trade and
transportation to corporations and 9TH
ers producing the necessities of life and
TO all whose hearts are open to the cry
of distress and affection, to second the
generous effort now being made and by
well directed endeavor, make its sue
cess truly responsive to the sentiments
of charity that have ever characterized
the American people.
(Signed.) JOHN SHERMAN,
Secretary of State

STORY OF CHILD MURDER.
Hole Broken In the Ice and the Little
One Drowned.

St Joseph, Mo-, Jan. S.-James Smith,
a boy, informed the police today that
early today an unknown man broke a
hole in the ice on the Missouri river
and showed a small child into the OPEN
ing. The act was witnessed by 2 man.
who after telling Smith to notify the
police of the affair, followed the muir
derer across the river to the Kansas
side. Neither the pursuer nor the muir
derer have been found, and the body of
the child has not been recovered. The
story is received with doubts, although
the hole was found at the point indi-
Gated, with a pole with which the ice
had been broken.

WOMEN AND SEALSRINS.
What One Must Do Now to Avoid
Trouble With the Law.

New York, Jan S.-Mrs. ]. Pierpont
Morgan, jr., is the first woman to COM
ply with the new law which says ali
sealslSins brought into this country
must bear evidence that they were not
secured in Alaskan waters since seal
ing was forbidden there Mrs. Morgan
is going abroad next week, and she has
some sealskin garments which she in
tends to take with her. She might have
trouble in bringing them back. Sc, she
has made application to the collector
of customs for q certificate for her
sacques. To enable this certificate to be
granted Mrs. Morgan sent her sealskins
TO the collectors office where they were
examined and numbers placed in the
records and certificate issued. Under
the new law any sealskin garment
made of skins which cannot be proved
to have been taken in waters outside
of the Jurisdiction of the United States

COURTING JAPAN.
Z It is amusing to notice Russia and
France counting Japan. Both of them
are in deadly fear of her forming an
offensive and defensive alliance with
Great Britain. AS a matter of fact,
there are things much more unlikely
than the eventual alliance of Great
Britain, China and Japan, and the con-
tingency would acquire still more
probability should Great Britain, as it
now. seems certain, guarantee a Chinese
loan
AT the present moment, so far as
Great Britain is concerned, the loan is
the kernel of the whole question A
suggestive piece of news is that Japan
has purchased two cruisers of 5000
tons each, which have been building
in England for China.
1t is not believed the Chinese loan,
if completed, will affect the market for
silver. AS the money is required to
pay the Japanese war indemnity and
would not be sent to China, silver could
not be utilized.

CoCHIsF DEMOCRATS.
Result of the Convention Held in Bis
bee on Saturday.

The ticket chosen by the Cochise
County Democracy in convention at
Bishee. October Sth. complete, is:
Scott White, of Tombstone. renomi-
rated for Sheriff; A Wentworth, OF
Tombstone, renominated for Treasur-
cr; Z. w. Land. of Bisbee, for Dis

ner. express agent at Tombstone, for
Councils: Henry w Etz, cattleman of
Benson, NJ Gray, Cattleman Rucker of
Pearce and Captain J. H. Tevis, OF
lewiston. for the Assembly.
1t is claimed that in caucus Kier was
the favorite but in convention decided
ly the reverse was the case. There
was some feeling manifest in view of
the action of northern men in the last
legislature going back in promises in
relation to county division, and the
convention was shy in naming men
from that section of the county All
three nominees for Assembly gave as
surance that they would stand by the
plank incorporated to meet this con-
tingen -. The platform at Chicago of
1896 and that of the Terri torial De
mocracy at Prescott September 10Th.
were approved, The policy Of the
Democratic representatives in Con-
cress and that pursued by Mark a.
Smith was approved. Pledged support
10 Colonel J. F. Wilson. Opposed di-
vision of Cochise county and removal
of public institutions of the Territory.

A MISSING ROUGH RIDER.

There is one member Of the Rough
Rider consignment from Arizona that
is missing and his wherea bouts at this
time is unknown. That is Bob Brow's
mountain lion, which was given to the
boys as a mascot and which was TAX
Ell by them through the campaign in
Cuba. He escaped without a scratch
and without and attack of malaria.
Mr. Brow was advised by telegram
September %, that the lion would be
shipped in the car with the officers
horses and he has been on the lookout
for the arrival of that car for several
days. L came yesterday but there
was no lion in sight. \ colored man
named Johnson was in sole charge of
the animals when they arrived here.
He stated that a man named SeXsmith
had been entrusted with the care of
the animals on their journey and he
came to Chicago with them. At the
latter place SeXsmith disappeared
and johnson says he did not see the
mountain lion after SeXsmith left
The presumption is that the latter
DISPOSED of the animal Numerous Of
fers had been made for it in New York
but Mr. Brow insisted on its return.
He telegraphed last night TO try TO
locate the animal as he is determined
to have him at any cost almost.-Jour-

TRIAL SPEED AND ACTUAL
SPEED OF OUR WARSHIPS.

Several engineer officers said in ref
erence to speed, that if the conditions
prevailing at the trials pere reproduced
there was little doubt that the trial
speed would be closely approached if
not equaled. But it remained for
Lieutenant Hobson TO explain the mat
ter definitely and inteIligently. I met
him in the office of the chief naval
constructor at the navy yard in Brook
lyn. and asked him if he thought our
White Squadron was a failure.
BY no Means said he. Our boats
are as good as, if not really better
than, those of the same class in any
other navy. They will show what
they are if they ever have a chance in
time of war;
How about speed:" I asked.
I'VE come nearer to the speed in
are drafted than any other nation
Scarcely ever are we more than a half
a knot or a knot out of the way, and
then it is usually in favor of speed
Would it be possible for any of our
vessels TO repeat the fast time shown
under the very favorable conditions of
the contractors triA1s?"
Yes" was HObSon'S ready and con-
fident response. land I believe they
would exceed it in actual warfare if
called upon
l was thoroughly surprised at this
assertion. and asked how that could
be possible.
In time of war; he explained. 1--WE
would take chances. if attacking or
escaping from an enemy, that would
not be justifiable in time of peace. In
war time we might send our warships
for all they are worth. w. h Glider

BASEBALL MATTERS.

Western League Representative
Hold an Important Meeting.
Chicago, ILL.,, Oct, 12.-The annual
meeting of the magnates of the West
ern League, which convened at the
office of President Ben Johnson today,
promises to be one of the most impor
tant in the history of the minor league.
The most important business to be
transacted concerns the disposal of
the ST Joseph and Columbus fran
chises, it having been all but settled
that these two cities will not have
clubs in the league next season. Des
Moines, Denver, Buffalo, Toledo,
Grand Rapids and Toronto have made
more or less formal bids for the fran
chises, but the managers are disposed
to give the matter the closest consid
Grafton before definitely fixing the
new circuit The talk of those attend
ing the meeting would indicate that
Buffalo has good chance of succeed
ing ST. Joseph, while Toronto and
Grand Rapids are discussed for the lo-
ca ton of the ex-Columbus team.
