Erie, Pa. (SpeciaD In the midst OF
one of the most bitter gales that ever
swept Lake Erie the iron ore barge
S. Fl. Foster, in tow of the steamer
Iron Duke, went to the bottom, 10
miles off Erie, and eight persons were
drowned.
The S. II. Foster was one of the
fleet of James Corrigan, Of Cleveland,
and for two months has been running
from Duluth to Erie with iron ore
Her cargo consisted Of 1900 tons OF ore
Captain Ashley, of the Iron Duke
made Erie in safety. In an interview
he said -.
THE Foster was in tow, about 600
feet astern. l was up all night, and
there were three men on watch WIN
me. The seas were rolling tremen-
dously from the northwest and the
gale carried with it binding snow
storm. We made the harbor light all
rights When we turned for the har'
Dor a sea much heavier than any othei
experienced struck us. l ran to the
stern. Just as l got there the Fos'
ter plunged in an awful sea and dove
down nose first
There was not a cry from soul oi
the crew of eight she carried. Just as
she pitched down l saw man on her
fore castle with a lantern the tow
line parted when she went down. The
storm was so heavy that could not
put about to hunt for any one. There
would not have been a particle OF use
anyhow, because in those tremendous
seas no one could have lived a minute
even if the water had not been icy
cold. Had there been a cry for help
would have turned and rlsked any yes
sell but it was no use. l had all
could do to make port in safety my
self"
When asked for an opinion as to the
cause of the sinking Of the Foster!
Captain Ashley said that he could mol
tell.
Apparently everything was all
right aboard her until she took that
fatal dip. There had not been a
single signal Of distress from her uT
to that time"
Burlington, N. j. (SpeciaD Joseph
Martin and Cass Lippencett, OF this
city, attempted to row across the Della
ware River during a gale, but just as
they reached midstream the boat was
swamped and Martin was drowned
Iippencott was rescued after a severe
struggle in the icy water. Martin was
2S years of age, and leaves a wife and
child. The young men had been
warned against making the attempt tc
cross the rough water, but they
laughed at the suggestion OF danger

America Not Favored.

London (By Cable).-Slr Alfred
Hickman (Conservative) brought up in
the House of Commons the subject OF
the contract for the Uganda railroad
bridges going to America, inslnuating
that favoritism had been shown the
American firms. Lord Cranborn, Par
liamentary secretary Of the Foreign Of
fee, repudiated the suggestion. He
said tenders were invited in the United
Kingdom on exactly the same condi-
tions as they were invited from the
United States, but the American tender
was accepted because 1t was consider
ably the lowest.

Knocked Down by Horse.

As George Hickman, conductor
on one of the Rio Grande switch
trains, was returning on his wheel
from the Rock Island hotel to
his work at noon, and as he was
going up Pixies Peak avenue a
loose horse belonging to j. w.
Pope came tearing down the ave-
nue. knocking Mr.. Hickman off his
wheel rendering him unconscious.
The unfortunate man was picked
up by friends and carried to the
Office of DR.. Sheridan where he
was at once given treatment. He
remained in an unconscious con
dition for several minutes.
1t seems that the horse, upon
reaching him, reared little and
struck him with his knees. The
wheel WIS not injured.

Three Feet of Solid Ore.

G. r. Bernard, general manager
of the Florence Elmo Mining COM
pany, received report from Su-
perintendent Kiisinger yesterday
to the effect that they had encoun-
tered a three-foot vein of solid ore
in the lower tunnel, which was be-
ing driven into the mountain, and
also opened up the same vein in a
tunnel higher up on the mountain.
The report states that the 500. foot
tunnel on the Geneva, which the
company owns, has been prospect
ed, aud the vein showing is the
same as that found by driving the
upper tunn Is This last tunnel
will open up this vein at depth
of 1000 feet and provide an inn
mense amount of stopping ground.
This company is the one promoted
by G. r Bernard and E. G.. Kin
dred, and is composed entirely of
local citizens. The showing in the
development thus far is such that
the managers of the company are
very much elaied over the pros
poets.
