PUBLIC WILL BE ADMITTED.

The announcement that the manage
ment of the Carroll Club has definitely
decided to admit the general public to
the illustrated lectures on travel lately
begun in the clubs handsome Auditor
ium, will be received with much pleas
ure by all lovers of travel. Without
doubt many will avail themselves of the
privilege Of attending the lecture on
Venice, the Bride of the Adriatic, which
will be given on Tuesday evening at s
o'clock sharp Venice, "throned on her
hundred isles,' has charmed the world
for centuries upon centuries and is still
the queenly conqueror of Time. Her
Cathedral of ST. Mark is in some re-
spects the finest in the world, while the
famous Palace of Doges might have an
entire lecture devoted to itself The
world-renowned Grand Canal. the
Rialto. the Piazza, the Campanile, are
all suggestive of romance and poetry;
while the glorious history of Venice,
like her golden sunsets, enfolds her with
a splendid beauty, such as no other city
in the world can boast. Both for
those who have visited the Bride of the
Sea and for those who have this pleas
ure still before them, this famous lee
ture will be a welcome treat. We I'M
derstand from the management that
the Auditorium will be darkened
promptly at o'clock. and those who
care to witness the lecture are requested
to come before that hour, so as not TO
disturb the audience.

Ed. Parsons, F. NJ Croby, w. Jewell.
J. E. Morehouse and Geo. Rodewig. All

There was very little business to
transact, and the special features of the
meeting were the talks given by the
delegates on how to strengthen the I'M
ions. President James, T. L. Lewis, H.
]. Cecil and others gave their views on
this subject. j. ]. Eichhorn, of Mid
dletown, Ohio, was present, represent
ing the Tobacco Workers Union, and
gave very interesting talk on union
ism, and made special mention of the
fact that a Wheeling firm only use un-
ion labels on their boxes, and not on
their packages.
Mr.. Eichhorn's remarks brought
forth a motion to the effect that the
delegates present notify their local IN
ions OF his remarks.
The street car workers of the old Bel
laire line were brought up before the
assembly, and motion was passed
that the secretary communicate with
the workers and find if there is to be a
charter granted to them.
A Communication from Local No. 4S,
Of Martins Ferry Master Horse
Shoers' Union, was received and placed
on file.
An invitation from the United Labor
League of Pittsburg to participate in
next years Labor Day celebration, was
read. The invitation was placed on file
and delegates notified to place same be-
fore their local unions.
The business of the meeting being
over, President James gave the union
a talk and reminded them that it
would only be short time until new
delegates would be elected, and charg-
ing them that the best material of the
local unions should be sent as dele
gates. He also said in his remarks that
the union was in good financial stand
ing, having enough money on hand to
keep the organization in good condi-
ito for two or three years. Mr.. Getch-
er, a glass worker, followed President
James, and at the close of his remarks
the union adjourned to meet December
3rd.

black with people, part in the middle,
and the struggling hundreds, now
fighting and clawing with one an
other in wild terror, disappear into
the deep water about the piles. 1t
was only the matter of a second when
the landing stage had been completely
cleared of people and the broken parts
swung easily on their hinges. forming
a N-shaped opening. Through it could
be seen the many terrified excursion
lists fighting for life.
On the wharf proper and aboard the
Sapho all was wild excitement and
confusion. Loud shrieks and voices
rent the air, with walls from the wo-
men and children, mingled with the
hoarse shouts of men. People went
mad with.fear. Back in the crowd,
still safe upon the pier, the men
struck out right and left fighting their
way from the terrible sight In
their excitement few men endeavor-
ing to assist the drowning threw into
the water whatever they could Law
| their hands upon. Some heavy lum-
Der that was east down struck num-
bers upon the head, stunning them for
the moment. Any sensible attempts at
rescue were forgotten, and men looked
on in wild fashion at the many who
were crushing down the weaker in the
| pool of death.
Captain Dixon of the Sapho and
Frederick Sanborn of Portland organ
lied a small rescue party from the
crew Of the Sapho and Sebonona, and
in few minutes ropes, ladders, and
willing arms were pulling out the
! terrified men and women A few
brave fellows stripped and plunged in
| TO the assistance of the weaker. but
their attempts were unavailing and
! dangerous, for the drowning ones
| clutched at them and endeavored to
pull them down.
Soon scores of men were engaged in
the work of rescue, and as the wet and
| bedraggled ones were fished out they
were carried to the hotel on the bluffs
overlooking the scene of the accident
Here the work Of resuscitating them
went on slowly, for there were nc
doctors present. Telephone mes
sages to Bar Harbor and Bangor soon
had dozen physicians on the scene
and their presence saved at least
twenty lives. For ten minutes the
work of saving went on and that space
was filled with many heroic deeds.
One young boy named George Mat
toX Of Bangor had induced a small lad
a deaf-mute, Howard Gillie by name
to run away and join the excursion
without his mothers knowledge. The
latter sank with the unfortunate ones
but Mattox was rescued. Conscience
smitten for having led the boy away
Mattox finally singled Gillie out
plunged in, and after a hard fight
brought him safely ashore
