THE SOUTH AFRICAN WAR.


London, Aug. 2i.-There is a re-
newed feeling of hopefulness that the
war in South Africa will soon be at
an end. The position is different from
that obtaining at any time since the
outbreak of hostilities in October,
1899. Natal is clear; Cape Colony is
rid Of Kreitzinger; in the Orange
River colony there is practically little
opposition, while in the Transyaal
there are not many symptoms OF Boer
activity. Rumors Of important deyel-
opments are freely current. 1t u
stated that the funds of the Boer
leaders in Europe are now absolutely
exhausted and It is certain that the
rigors Of winter have told on the
burghers in the field.

people Of Paducab. as body after body
il brought into the city and taken
to the undertakers. The boats reg
lister has not yet been recovered, but
II Il certain the death list will num-
Der II and perhaps 20. An official in
vestigation will be made, as 1t seems
that the most culpable carelessness
caused the catastrophe.
A. A. Peck, the pilot, claims the en-
Qineer deserted his post and that ne
could not manage the boat with the
engines helpless. The engineer denies
this and claims that he remained at
the throttle until the water was
waist deep.
Frank Enders, one Of the passen-
gers, corroborated by several Others,
declares that the effort to land
brought the side Of the boat around
40 that the wind struck 1t with full
force. There had been almost gale
blowing for ten minutes and one man
who could not swim went to the pilot
house and begged the pilot to land.
When he did finally consent to land
the hurricane, visible as q huge
black streak, sweeping across the
river, struck the boat as it swung
around in position least able to re-
sist II.
Early yesterday morning the work
Of searching for the remains began
the party being led by Charles era

ham, his brother, whose sister was
among the dead. Three bodies were

and Mrs. David Adams. Miss Bar
nett's face was badly lacerated. In
the afternoon the bodies Of Miss Gra-
ham and Mrs. W. A. Hogan and Lu-
cille, her six-year-old daughter, were

and the expression on the faces, as a.
well as scratches and bruises, indl'
Gated fierce struggle when the pris'
oners were caught in the little cabin
like rats. The boat Is being disman'

reached.
Groups Of sad-visaged people dotted
the wharf here all day, awaiting tld
Inrs from the rescuers, while the par
iors of the Richmond hotel were filled
with weeping womenn.
Mrs. Charles Hayden, OF Metropolis
H., the only woman saved, is BADLY

THE GREAT OIL FIRE.
Nearly Fifty People Injured by sn Explo-
slon--Fears That the River May be
Flooded with blazing OIL.

Philadelphia, Aug. 2i.-The fire
which began Monday afternoon at the
works Of the Atlantic Refining COM
pany at Point Breeze, in the south
western section of the city, was still
burning fercely last night and Chief
Baxter, of the city fire department,
has given up hope Of saving any OF the
company's property. The one hope
Of the company's officials and the fire
men was in their ability to dump the
oil from the tanks not yet reached
by the flames into reserve tanks in an
isolated section of the yard. An ex-
plosion late yesterday afternoon car
ried away the pumping machinery
and nothing remains now apparently
but to permit the conAagration to
burn until all the oil is consumed.
tits believed that the five lives lost
in the explosion of the big gasoline
tank Monday night completes the list
Of fatalities. In the explosion which
occurred yesterday afternoon 15 per
sons were injured seriously enough
TO be taken to hospitals and about
lO others were treated on the scene
by the ambulance surgeons,
The fire is eating up oil at the rate
of 100000 a day, according to th'
estimate of President LLOYD, of th'
Atlantic Refining company, TIT
cooperage shop has been swept ava,
and in its destruction 40 men mar
rowly escaped death. The tanks o
benzine are now going. Earthwork
have been thrown up to keep tn
Schuylkill river from becoming Hood

THE SAME OLD STORY.
Florence Eagles Win Out by a
Score of I.S to o.

Sunday morning the Florence
Eagles ball team, accompanied by
about 100 rooters, left at 6:30 4.
IN. to play return game at Grip
pie Creek with the Altman Cam
eron team
The game was called at 2:30 and
from the start 1t was evident that
our boys were not in their usual
good form, which no doubt was
caused by the difference in the
altitude of Florence and the
District.
McCluskey certainly had an off
day and was wild, having no CON
troll whatever He kept Shields
jumping sideways throughout the
entire game and allowed six men
bases on balls, something unusual
for him.
The Altman-Cameron team (by
name only) played fast game at
times, and in fact it was hard
matter to decide positively which
would win out until after the first
half of the ninth. 1t looked
blue for the Eagles at the close of
the second inning with the score
4 to 0 in favor of the District, but
the Florence fans were loyal as
we'll as dead game" at no stage of
the game did they neglect to cover
all bets offered and some even
had the nerve to offer odds at
critical times
Features of the game which
were applauded by the spectators
was a pretty double by Morrison
assisted by Gamewell and Patter-
son; home run and pretty stop
at. second by Patterson; Shields
throw to second and the fast play
ing by Shaw of the District team.
The game was interesting and the
attendance was large--on the hill
side and other convenient places
where tickets could not be sold.
The Eagles got about S4l out of
the game, barely enough to pay
the expenses of the trip.
