SIX KILLED; EIGHT INJURED
Battery of Boilers of a Pittsburg
Tug Explodes.
Body of the Second Engineer Found
on the River Bank $50 Feet
From the Boat.

Pittsburg, Jan. S.-The entire battery
Of boilers of the tow-boat Percy Kelsy
exploded at IL a. M today, completely
wrecking the boat and killing at least
six men and injuring eight. Some of
wounded may die.
The owners of the Percy Kelsy, w. H.
Brown & Sons, took advantage of the
high water to ship coal south and sent
the tow boat down this morning for
Cincinnati towing seven barges of coal.
The regular steamer crew was filled
out with ten deck hands. The boat and
her tow got through Davis Island Dam
and the deck hands were scattered over
the barges.
In the channel of the Ohio river, nine
miles from here and 100 yards from the
Neville Island shore and 200 yards from
the north bank of the river, the boilers
exploded with a terrific report that
was heard in Pittsburg. The chief en-
gineer, Davis, who was in the engine
room aft, clambered out of the back
end of the sinking vessel and found
the dead body of Pilot Wood lying there
thrown from the pilot house in the front

Webster was found on one of the
barges. The force of the explosion
threw Thomas Flynn, the second en-
gineer, onto the north bank of the
river. His body was found among the
protruding roots of a tree fifty feet
from the waters edge and $50 feet from
the boat.
Lee Bechtold, William Richards, and
John Smith are missing. and there is
no doubt that they were blown into the
river and are dead.
The injured are: w. J. Jones, captain;
Adolph Wendell, steward; David
Walker, cook: Harry Hammer, deck
hand; Hugh Close, Daniel Camel, Per-
ry F. Wood. son of Pilot Wood, and
William Alexander. Their wounds are

''The Old Coat" at the Columbia.
Clothes are an important part of
many dramas, but The Old Coat
around which the latest Smyth and
Rice success is woven, is a particular rly
interesting garment. The first act is
occupied mainly in filling up the
pockets of that coat with things badly
needed by the various characters, such
as an important law paper, two COM
promising letters, and a couple of $500
blils thrown in for good measure, and
then losing that coat in a mysterious
but quite natural way
The second act is taken up with
hunting for that coat, while the
important letters and so on leak out
OF its pockets at the proper time to
make trouble. In the third act the peo-
pie in the cast are engaged, one after
another, in finding that coat, and by its
aid clearing up all mysteries. Very sell
dom has coat been the focus of so
many thrilling. ludicrous and harrow
ing scenes as this little, old, no-colored
garment which innocentiy appears in
the first act, resting on chair.
