SAVERS
sCALDED BY ESCAPING STEAM
A Car Ferry Strikes HarbOr Bar mt
LudingtOn in Fearful Storm, Ma
chinery Breaks Down and
Steam Pipes Burst.

LUD1NGTON, Mich, Dec. 2.-Wh;le
entering Ludington harbor last MD
night, during a heavy southerly gale, the
Pere Marquette car ferry struck bar,
disabling her machinery and breaking the
main feed steam pipe. Great volumes OF
steam instantly escaped. Mike Taft, a
coal passer, was scalded to death, and
two other coal passers were terribly
scalded. Many others who were in the
hold of the car ferry received bad burns
and suffered great hardships during the
nine houre which followed before they
were rescued.
The accident happened at midnight, ana
during the remainder of the night thero
was neither light nor heat on the boat.
The wind was bitterly cold. Great seas
rolled across the deck and Ice formed
wherever the water fell.
The ferry arrived off the harbor from
Milwaukee after tempestuous voyage.
In spite of the heavy seas and strong
wind from an unfavorable quarter, capt.
Charles Thompson decided to hazard an
entrance to the harbor.
Struck and Made Helpless.
He would have succeeded had not his
boat at an unfortunate moment sunk low
in the hollow of big wave and struck
the bar with terrific force. The shock
completely disordered the machinery,
and, left without power, the ferry drifted
against the north~pier, where she pound
ed heavily Then Capt. Thompson order
ed the sea cocks opened and the boat
was scuttled in sixteen feet of water.
When the day broke, the life saving
crew, by means Of their cannon, threw
a line to the wrecked craft and the en-
tire crew of thrity-three men and the
body Of Taft were taken off the wreck
in the breeches buoy. One by one the
men were hauled over the churning ice
on the suspended cable. The operation
occupied four hours and was witnessed
with breathless interest by an immense
crowd of people.
Great banks of ice now surround the
boat on all sides. Boat and cargo are
valued at $780, GOO and are fully Insured.

OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 22.-Fred Hamann,
a sentimental coachman, was roughly
handled by incensed citizens last night
who mistook him for desperate char
acter. Hamann was seen by two children
as he lay in the snow beside bush in
the yard of the Georgia, fashionable
boarding house.
The community had suffered from the
depredations of a Jack the PEPPER and
was in no mood to be trifled with. Neigh
bors were notified by telephone and a
half dozen men reached the gate just as
the male boarders within rushed into
the yard. Hamann was captured and
grievously used before the arrival of the
police. He was later able to prove that
he was enamored of the cook, who had
discouraged his suit. He was merely
enjoying the melancholy pleasure OF
watching the light in her window
