BASKET BALL.
Institutes Defeat the Fencibles in n
Gnme Full of Pretty Plays.

Game Full of Pretty Plays.
The Fencibles put up a great game of
basket ball at the Carroll Institute last
night, the strong home team winning by
but a single points to Z. The game
abounded in pretty plays, hot scrimmages
for the ball and excellent team work on
both sides, and was probably the closest
and most exciting contest that has taken
place this season. There is some dispute
over the score, the Fencibles claiming that
the score should be tie, and the matter
will be settled at the next league meeting.
The Fencibles showed the greatest amount
of improvement. in their play, and the game
shows that the soldier boys will be potent
factor in deciding the championship of the
National League. The lineup:

The N ew Primary.

The new primary electlon ordered for Thursday, June 16, to nominate candidate for sheriff and prosecut- ing attorney, will rot be legalized primary. It cannot be a legalzed primary because it was not ordered in time to eom.ly with the law, which requires that the chairman of the Democratic Central Committee shall file a certificate of the same with the county clerk twenty days before said primary is held. But the Democratic County Convention, which ordered the primary, adopted a resolution that each candidate should be authorized to select one of the Judges in each voting precinct, which will, in a measure, be a safe guard against fraud.
 The eyes of the people of Jefferson county, and the world, will be on that primary If any fraud is com mitted or attempted, there will, be such an uprising Of the honest peo- pie of this county as was never known before, and the author Or au- thors of it will be spurned forever by the respectable element ol the county.
 The Democrats of the county owe it to themselves, their county and State to exculpate themselves from the charge of fraud, and to set the seal of their condemnation forever upon unfair aud dishonest election methods. The fraud of the last pri- mary should therefore be guarded against and rebuked, and the fair name of our county and society re deemed from the obIoquy that has been put upon it by designing and dishonest men

DOUBT AS TO
 THE CAUSE
Officials Declare the Boilers Were in Excellent
 Condition.

Inquiry among the officers of the Cali fornia Navigation and Improvement Company in this city regarding the Walker brought forth no definite infor- nation. Nothing had been learned by them from Stockton. They professed to be unable to advance even a theory. Cantain c. D. Clarke, the company's agent, said the machinery and boilers of the luckless steamboat were in the best of condition, the latter having un- dergone the official test before the Gov ernment inspectors a few months ago. Chief Engineer Barber of the Mary Garrett made substantially the same statement
 Engineer Henry was chief engineer of the compar,- and was only relieving Charles Sampon, the regular engineer, for this trip.
 John K. Bulger, Assistant United States Local Inspector of Boilers, said the boilers of the T. c. Walker were tested last April to a hydraulic pressure of 250 pounds to the square inch, and registered for a pressure of TO pounds. The boilers were made in 1893 and were in excellent condition as was demon strated by the careful test. Fifteen years is a safe life for such class of boilers, and those of the Walker had never been subjected to great strain in their six years work.

asleep when the explosion occurred this morning. MT. York noticed during the night a very peculiar noise, such steam. It gave Mrs. York some con- cern, but he assured her that it was nothing unusual, and they were both sound asleep when the explosion oc- cured.
 The report was like the boom of a cannon. Just then MT. York heard a passenger going past his room groan- ing with pain, as if seriously hurt. MT. York got out as quickly as possible, and going forward saw a great hole torn out of the front of the boat from the boiler room up to the pilot house. The whole front of the cabin was a mass of splinters.
 Chief Engineer Henry had retired be- fore the disaster. He and his wife oc- cupied a stateroom under the pilot house and were blown out of bed and thrown some distance by the explosion.
 The screams of the men who were locked in their rooms near the pilot house were heartrending. Captain John Tulan had been blown from his bed against the door of the state room, and so seriously burned that he could not move. The door could not be forced open and he was damned up against it.. One of the employees of the boat ob- tained an ax and cut the upper part away. Although the captain was suf- fering as few people are called upon to suffer, be bore 1t bravely and not

the grim scenes began. Patrol and ambuIances backed up and trip after trip was made to the Receiving Hos pital Then came the dead wagon. It made a half-dozen trips to the Morgue before it's days work was over. The entire city seemed to be one of mourn ing.
 Nine men having no homes here were taken to the Receiving Hospital. The less dangerously injured were sent out to the County Hospital in carriages.
 Mrs. Watson Henry, wife of the chief engineer, died at her home soon after being brought to this city. Jerry Daley. a fireman, died at the Receiving Hospital Both bodies, with those of Tulan, Blunt, Henry and Law are 1n the Morgue, making six dead In all.
 The scene had it's heroes as well as it's heroines One poor Italian on board was burned terribly, but refused to give his name, saying his wife would be alarmed and he wanted to be the first to break the news to her.
 Many rumors are af1oat as to the cause of the explosion. It is said the steamer left the landing with l6O pounds of steam, when her boilers could stand but 150.
 John York and wife of this city were the first to be awakened by the explo- sion. Mr. York says the first incident to attract unusual attention occurred at o'clock last night, when the steamship ran into mud bank near Cenicia. She got off all right and everybody was
