Saturday, July Is, 1901, will go down
into history chronicling the most ap-
palng and shocking accident ever re-
corded on the pages Of Sunbury's his.
tory.
About 9:ij u. M, as the streets were
filled with marketcrs going and com
ing, and the saturday mornings busi-
ness was at it, height, a distinct, can
non-likc report was heard, and the
ground trcmhlcd ~ if visited 10y an
earthquake. People came running from
their homes to ascertain the cause, and
looked at each other in wOndermcnt,
unable to imagine what was wrong,
vet having that indescribahle feeling
that something terrible had occurred.
In short time the report had circu-
lated that a terrible accident had hap
pencd at the river, near the Market
street steamboat landing, due To the
explosion of the boiler Of the steam
boat, "Montour,' the property of the
Suubury Boat Company.
Arriving upon the scene, a sight more
shocking than tongue can tell or pen
describe, met the gaze of the onlookers.
THE MEARTRENDING SCENE.
Living on the ground, writhing in
great agony, suffering untold tortures,
and standing the grass with their liie's
blood, lay five young boys, while about
one hundred feet away, lying near the
waters edge, the shattered remains OF
what was once steamboat told the
.wful tale of just what had occurred.

STORY OF TIIR EXPLOSION.
The complete story of the explosion

Butler Wendt, of Shamokin Dam,

the river preparatory to taking a party
up the river on pleasure trip. When
he landed ut the wharf on this side the
steam guage registered siXty-tive
pounds and he was careful 10 note that
there WAS plenty of water in the boiler.
After satisfying himself that every
thing was all right he left for uptown
leaving Frymirc, the pilot, in charge,
and arrived at the Central Hotel when
he heard the report Of the explosion.
Roy Mcdonald, aged II years, son Of

SOCORRO SUED.
Holders Of City Water Bonds Want
the Interest Money,
SOME ONE TO BLAME.

From Socorrd Chicftain.
George Parker. through his attorney.
Jas. q. Fitch has brought suit against
the city OF Socorro for interest on
Sl7.5OO Of the city's water bonds. ev.
idcnccd by coupons due April I. 1900.
October J.. 1900, and April /, 1901, also
for interest on the coupons from the
time they fell due. This means simply
that no interest has been paid on the
city's water bonds for eighteen months
and that the holders of those bonds
are nov beginning to take steps to en-.
force their contract with the city.
April /. 1887, the city of SocorrO
issued $4,000 in bonds To pay for the
construction Of her present water
works. The bonds were to- run thir.
ty years. On issuing the bonds the
city promised that a sinking fund
should be deposited In the First Ma
tional bank of New York as follows
$500 per annum from the date of the
bonds to April |. 1892; $500 per an.
mum from April /, 1892. to April /.
1897; $1,000 per annum from April
/. 1897. to April /. 1907; and $3.50
per mum for the remaining ten
years that the bonds had to run. Ac.
cOrding To- this contract n sinking
fund of Sos 500 should now be on dcpos.
II in New York for the redemption Of
the City's water bonds to that amount.
The property owners of Socorro have
annually suffered a heavy tax to pro.
vide funds for this very sinking fund.
What has become of the money
that's the question. 1t Is freely charg.
ed that some of this sinking fund has
been raised and appropriated to other
purposes in direct violation of law
and the guarantee of the city. An in
yCstigation Is In order.
Tho showing made by the present
city authorities indicates that there
should be no difficulty In the clty's
complying with the terms of It's ION.
tract on these bonds. The assessed
valuation Of the city Is not far from
100000 and the rate for water pur.
poses tx six mills, giving n revenue of
SLIGO per annum The collector re.
ported 5000 collected I'm water rates
for the month Of May. Conccding that
this was exceptional and that eve
$500 a year is all that could be col
lCCtcd in that manner. IL will be seen
that there should be a fund of at
least $4,000 per mum to pay the in.
tcrcst and to provide the sinking
fund on 10000 of 6 per tent bonds.
The problem does not appear to be n
difficult one.
