The Steamer Charles Nelson Arrives
From St. Michael,
Bringing a Large Number Of Passengers
and Over a Million in Gold.
While Many Prospectors Returned
Well Laden With the Yellow
Metal, About One-Third of the
Passengers Brought No Gold at

SEATTLE CWash), July 23.-The
steamer Charles Nelson arrived here
to-day from ST. Michael with lib pas
sengers from Dawson, and gold dust
estimated all the way from Sl,OU,VOO
to 81 100 COO
Purser M. A. Tucker said: Il be-
lieve that one million and half is q
fair estimate OF that amount l can
vouch for S60O,000, which was turned
over to me and placed in the steamers
safe One man, Mr.. Tucker said, had
S1I5, 900 and another S12o,00O. He
would not disclose their names. Pro
fessor T. S. Lippy, his father and two
brothers carried off the steamer nine
canvas sacks which weighed about lOu
pounds each. This was the clean UP
from Lippys claim, No. 16, Ell Dorado.
Charles Randall an old timer, had
$4,000, Other individual amounts ran
from one to ten thousand dollars, hVt
thousand being an average.
At , o'clock this afternoon, sixty
seven passengers had deposited in the
assay office about 100000. Four thous-
and ounces was the largest individual
amount This did not include the Lippy
and Randall gold.
About third of the passengers
brought gold. Some of them had
gone in this spring Not liking the
prospects, they sold their outfits and
returned.
People are arriving at St. Michael
every day from up the Yukon, and thu
next steamers from there will be crowd
ed to their full capacity. Owing to the
high rates on river steamers, many are
floating down in small boats.
When the Nelson left ST.. Michael
there We're twenty-siX vessels there.
Nine river steamers, loaded to the
guards had started up the river. Some
We're drawing four feet of water, and
doubts were expressed of the ability

Moran's fleet of ten river steamers

it had entered Behring Sea, about l60
miles from St. Michael. The arrival OF
the fleet was anxiously awaited at St.

the steamers to send their passengers
up the river. The passengers were gel

We have become familiar with

nearly so much noise as the old fashion

scarcely a flash, are still a novelty

Colonel Humbert of the French army
has invented this boon and patented il.
The experiments carried out by the
Hotchkiss Company are said to be most
promising. In some wonderful manner
he contrives that the mouth of the gun
shall shut automatically the instant it's

announcement may probably be true

vel of ingenuity alleged nowadays. This
also would make for the extinction of

assist defending force, rather than
the assailants. Repeating rifles and

BUILDINGS BLOWN OUT.
Four and Perhaps More Lives Lost
by an Explosion of Gasoline In a
Philadelphia Store,

Philadelphia Store.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 11.-By the
explosion Of forty gallons Of gasoline
iii the cellar Of a grocery store at 1444
South street tonight, surely four and
possibly a dozen or more lives were
lost. AS an immediate consequence of
the explosion, the building in which the
explosion occurred and those adjoining
1t on either side collapsed, and, up to l
o'clock, four hours after the explosion,
four bodies had been recovered from
the ruins and three Of these identified
as follows:
SAMUEL SCHATTENSTEIN, keeper of the
grocery store.
ABRAHAM, his nineteen-year-old son.
GOLDBERG, a ten-months-old child.
The fourth body was that of a girl about
ten years old.
How the explosion occurred is yet
unknown. The front Of 1444 was i'm
mediately blown out, and this was fol-
lowed by the collapse of that structure
and Nos. 144S, occupied by Moses Gold
berg's furniture store, and 1446, Schat-
tensteins furniture store. The west
wall Of Walberg's clothing store was
blown out. All the buildings were of
brick, three stories in height
In the confusion and excitement fol-
lowing the disaster. it is impossible
to obtain anything like a clear account
of the occurrence, but it is stated that
the upper floors were crowded with
families, huddled together tenement
fashion. Coming as 1t did at the sup
per hour, it is feared the loss of life
will be heavy.
The list of injured will be long. They
were taken to all the hospitals within
q radius of a mile After the recovery
of the four bodies, the authorities. de-
cided to postpone the search for ad-
ditional victims until tomorrow morn
ing, thus obviating the dangers and
delays of working upon the mass of
debris and wreckage in the darkness.
The corpses Of Schattenstein and his
son were picked UP on the steps Of No.

girl was found pinioned by a mass of
debris in the rear of the same building,
and the Goldberg child died while being
taken to the hospital
