SIxTEEls 5 WERE DROWNED
Wind Strus. Vessel When All
 wer at Supper.
The Women Were Caught in the Cabin and Had No Means of Escape from the Death
 Trap.

Paducah. Ky, Aug. 19.-The steamer city of Golconda. plying between this city and Elizabethtown. H., was struck by squall during a storm about 2 o'clock tonight as she was en route to Paducah and turned over in ten feet of water. six miles above the city as she was going into Crowelrs Landing. Sixteen persons are reported drowned
 The disaster occurred as supper was being served. and many of the seventy five passengers were in the cabin. The wind struck the boat without warning and there was no time for those on the inside to escape. Captain Jesse Bauer and Pilot E. E. Peck were the last to leave the boat and swam ashore. They saved several struggling in the water and left the survivors in a house near the bank and came to the city. Cap tain Bauer who arrived here two hours after the catastrophe said:
 "The boat was getting ready to land when the squall struck her and she listed. Several passengers who were Inside jumped overheard and were caught by the boat. The ladies, all of whom were in the cabin could not be reached. The boat settled down in ten feet of water over a reef and two of the men who were in the cabin-H. K. Worten and N. S. Quartermouse of Hampton-broke through the glass and were saved. Three colored deck hands saved woman and child, and think she was the only woman saved. 4 yawl had broken loose. and was caught hy some of those struggling tp the wa- ter and taken to the bank, We re- turned to the boat on this but could find no signs of life and returned to shore"
 The boat had been in the trade for several years. being owned by Captain Otto Bauer of Golconda, III. There is no way to determine the number of names of the dead until the boats books are found. Captain Peck places the number ar sixteen. The Mary N. left soon after the survivors reached the city for the scene. and is expected back tonight.
 Among those believed to be lost are:
 Misses Lucy Barnett of Smithland, Lizzie Graham and Trixie --dams of Greenville. Mrs. David Adams of Smith1and. Messrs. Watts Havis. a prominent farmer of Livingston Coun- ty. Clarence Slayton of Lola, Ky, and three colored deck hands.

 Killed by Mob.

TRUST MAKES GAINS
MILLS STARTED UP WITH
 STRIKE BREAKERS.
Some Disorder Yesterday in Streets of Monessen, But the Local Police Never Lost Control
 ofCr owds.

Pittsburg, Aug 19.-The United States Steel Corporation made a series of gains today in the restoration of properties crippled by the strike of the Amalgamated Association and its sympathizers. The steel mills at Mon- essen, after long period of inactivity, were partly put in motion by strike breakers gathered in some of the Southern States, two more mills in the Painter plant were started up and an- other large mill at the Clark property was also operated for the first time.
 There was some disorder in the streets of Monessen during the day, but the local police never lost control of the demonstrative crowds and there was no serious trouble. The reopening of the Monessen mill is believed to De the first of d series of aggressive moves on the part of the Steel Corporation. Preparations are known to be in prog ress for reopening the Startin mills in this city and for increasing the force at the Lindsay and McCutcheon mills. and it is thought to be only a matter of time before the strongholds of the strikers like Newcastle. McKeesport, Wheeling, Bellaire and Mingo Junction will be invaded.
 The strikers deny that any real prog gress has been made at either Mones- sen or Painters and say they are not to be frightened by the burning of lot of coal and the mere operation of ma chinery. They say none of their men aer deserting despite claims to the contrary. The manager of the Painters mills which now have four mills on claim that part of their two new crews is made up of oldr employees who have come back to work.
 The greatest fight in this direction is for mastery at the Duquesne mills of the Carnegie Company. Both sides are working secretly the Amalgamated As sociation to extend its strength among the workers and the steel company to block any plan to get the men out.
 It is reported that a portion of the second brigade of the National Guard of this State now in camp at Sooner set will be kept under arms and at the camp for some time in order to be ready to answer an emergency call for strike duty. No confirmation of the story can be obtained from the officers of the Guard or any Of the State off, cials. It Is not credited here. A num- Der of anonymous letters evidently the work of some labor crank. have been written to officers of llte Guard.

Easter day is the great floral festi.
val q the year. For weeks past for.
lists throughout the country have been
preparing for it, forcing their rarest
blooms to blossom in time for the
sprlngtime's beautiful holiday. Mil
lions of gorgeous roses, lilies and vio-
lets have been shipped from The hot
houses to provide for this years feast
or flowers. Miles of dainty ribbon
nave been specially woven to knot
about these flowers. and thousands Of
boxes, baskets and jardinieres manu-
featured in readiness for their pack
ing.
In the metropolitan hothouses the
growing plants for Easter are the
finest of their kind. There are rose
bushes nearly six feet high, and
Marguerite plants laden with bios
SONS. The azaleas are of especially
fine color and have abundant bloom
Rhododendrons in full blossom are
also novelty this season. The lily
is, OF coursethe queen flower of Easter
time. The Easter or Bermuda lily,
imported in the bulb from the south

the most beautiful specimen of the

have a number of blossoms of great
fragrance. For table decorations these
plants are potted in silver and 30.
hemian glass and also in basket work
cases. One of the table decorations
for an Easter dinner will consist of a
basket boat filled with these plants in
full bloom. The boat will rest upon
a mirror lake in the center of the
table.
Orchids are out in as great profu-
sion as ever. But the Easter lily
holds its sway over them all. English
though it is. for the bulb flourishes
best in Bermuda, in narrow pauches
often alongside of the wholesome but
unsmelling onion and the useful but
homely potato. The bulbs are shipped
to New York in great quantities dur.
ing the autumn and winter, and
placed in our greenhouses to be de-
veloped into the lovely plant which
has become symbolical Of Easter.

extremely pretty and is shown in all

And vow his wife is fond of dress
