The closing down of the factories in
ElwOOd this summer has had an as
founding effect, and directly the oppo-
site from what would be expected. 1t
would be naturally supposed that the
closing of gas we'll, for time, would
have the effect of strengthening the
flow when it was turned on again, but
just the opposite has been the result.
The main pressure has decreased one
half and on some mains the flow of gas
is hardly sufficient to heat a stove hot
enough to cook al-Elwood Record.

to join the Latter Day Saints as their
only salvation. The municipal author
tiles may be appealed to to suppress the
nuisance.

THE Loss OF THE YOSEMITE.
Two of the Rescued Crew Tell of TIN
Disaster.

Two Of the Rescued Crew Tell of the
Disaster.
A dispatch from Manila yesterday says:
Two members of the crew of the United
States auxiliary cruiser Yosemite. which
RECENTLY foundered during a typhoon off the
Island of Guam, have arrived at Cavite on
board the United States transport Alava,
which left Guam November Is with seven
tv-tlye marines who had been transferred
to Cavite from Guam. y
The names of the twoAmerf of the wrecked
vessel are John Barry, carpenter. who was
about to be relieved at the time OF the dis
aster and Henry Collgan. a hospital APP
prentice who came on board the Alava to
attend TO some of the sick marines. Barry
had much to do with the rigging up Of
steering gear and in other attempts to save
the Yosemite. A boom fifty feet long and
a foot thick which was rugged over her
stern snapped off when attempts were
made to steer with It. By the time a
stouter arrangement was effected what was
left of the propeller was almost out of the
water and the steamer was constantly set
Ting lower by the head. No progress was
possible and all on board thought their last
moments had come. The discipline on
board was good.
After the Yosemite had drifted shoreward
from the anchorage she pounded on a reef
The wind shifted with extreme suddenness
and terrific fury and carried the vessel out
through such q narrow outlet In the harbor

that no one understood how she got
through. 1t was very dark and thick. The
spray was binding and the wind threatened
to sweep the men into the water at any mo-
ment.
When asked whether there was any crit
icism among the men Of the officers action
in abandoning the ship, the two men inter-
viewed replied that practically every man
conceded all had been done that was prac-
ticable, and abandonment Of the vessel was
the only course left. The official reports as
serted that the sea valves were opened fin
ally to expedite the sinking. Barry and
Colligan said they knew nothing as to that
point, but the attempts Of the United States
collier Justin to tow the cruiser were use
less, and the Yosemite would inevitably
have sunk. The two men said they believed
there was some difficulty with the pumps
in getting water out Of the forward COM
partment, but the hole in the bottom was
so big that the cruiser must have sunk. no
matter what had been done.
Several marines who were at Agana,

quarters Of the town was under water. and
