Searching Investigation Will Be
Made Into Cause Of Accident
to City of Trenton.

Philadelphia, August 29-It devel-
oped today that the result of the ex-
plosion of the boiler on the steamer
City Of Trenton while on her way up
the Delaware river from this city to
Trenton, N. j., yesterday afternoon,
was more appalling than was at first
supposed. Nine persons are known
positively to have been drowned, at
least 10 are missing, most of whom
are believed to have been on the
steamer and two Of the injured still
in the hospital will probably die.
The Identified Dead.

ELIZABETH GREEN, q years,

ARTHUR 7. LANSING, IA years,

VIM. H. KEEN, Philadelphia.
JESSIE STRATTON, Trenton, died
in hospital.
In addition to these there are two
charred bodies, believed to be those
of females, in the morgue They are
beyond recognition.
The searchers have been dragging
the river since yesterday afternoon
but have been unable to find any more
bodies. That there are more victims
in the river is the firm belief Of the
authorities and their failure to find
additional dead is supposed to be due
to the strong current in the river at
the point where the accident occurred
The water was pumped out of the
hull of the burned steamer after
which careful search was made for
additional victims of the explosion
but none was found. An attempt was
made at high tide this afternoon to
float the wrecked vessel but it was
unsuccessful. AS to the exact cause
of the explosion nothing is yet known
but rigid investigation is to be con-
Quoted at once.
Many of the passengers who es-
capped injury, maintain that the City
of Trenton, which was late when she
left her wharf, was racing at her top
most speed and that il this had not
been the case the accident would not
have happened. This is partly bore
out by statement said to have been
made by Assistant Engineer Chew.
Chew told his wife that he expected
to be killed by an explosion on the
steamer as the company made the
engineers keep up too high pres
sure of steam.
inspectors View Wreck.
Acting under instructions from the
supervising inspector general of
steam vessels at Washington, Robert
S. Rodie of New York, the superyis-
ing inspector for this district, came
here today and made a preliminary
examination of the interior Of the
hull of the City of Trenton. He was
accompanied by officials of the COM
pany and local boiler inspectors.
Mr.. Bodie, after the inspection, said
he had not found the cause of the ex-
plosion, but had theory as to how
the accident happened. He would
not say what his theory was. The
port boiler lies at the bottom Of the
river some distance from where the
steamer was beached and an inspec-
tion of it is impossible.

Mrs. De Gray Attacked BY a
Cur.

Mrs. F. De Gray, of No. 153 Highland
avenue. was attacked and badly bitten
yesterday by vicious cur dog on West
Side avenue. The beast rushed on her un-
awares and buried its teeth in her left
arm while she was crossing West Side
avenue. She fought the dog as best she
could and screamed for help. The animal
sprang at her again and again, each time
closing its jaws on her arms and hands.
Several men finally caEle to her assist
ance and succeeded in beating the doff off.
Mounted Patrolman Lynch of the Mont
gomery street station, was notified of the
affair. He began a search for the dog
He located the dog at West Side and Sip
avenues. Getting down from his horse
he pulled his revolver and walked with
in a few feet of the dog. The dog sprang
at Lynch and caught Lynch's left hand
between its teeth. Lynch quickly fired.
A bullet planned its way through the
head of the animal. 1t sprang again at
the officer, but he jumped aside and fired
again. The second bullet finished him.
Both Mrs. DeGrey and Lynch had their
wounds dressed by doctors. No danger
Gus results are anticipated from the bites
Tor the dog was not mad.

CLEAN THE STREETS !!
Hoos Says Some Of the
$4,000 Should Be
Spent Now.

The following communication on the
subject of unclean conditions of the
streets of the city was received from
Mayor Hoos at yesterday afternoon's S
meeting of the Stret and Water Board
and was read and fled:-
FEB. 19, 1901.
Honorable Board of Street and Water
Commissioners:
"Gentlemen-I beg to call your atten-
tion to the disgraceful condition of our
Streets When the tax levy for the cur
rant fiscal year was being made up
made an earnest appeal to the Board of
Finance for a liberal appropriation to en-
able your Board to keep our streets in q
better condition. and the members of the
Board of Finance seeing the wisdom Of
increasing the street cleaning appropria-
tion, but being in serious straits
for means to supply the demand
made upon them, reluctantly yielded to
my appeal and placed $4,000 more in the
levy for the year 19O0-1eol than was allow
ed when making up the budget for the
year 1S99-190O and 1 see no reason why
our streets should be allowed to remain in
their present condition. The cross walks
are SO thoroughly covered with mud that
it is impossible to find them without the
aid of a shovel. l think a portion of the
$4,000 which your Board will spend dur
ing the present fiscal year for the sweep
ing and cleaning of streets and removal
of ashes and garbage could be very ad-
vantageously employed at the present
time and I trust you will give the matter
prompt attention.
Very respectfully,
edward HoOs,

Mr.. VAIL ACCEPTS.
Portion of Letter Sent to Chair
man StroebeIl of Campaign
Committee.

Mr.. C. H. VAIL formerly pastor of the
Church of the Good Shepherd and now
Socialist, accepts the nomination made by
the Social Democratic party for Governor
OF the State of New Jersey in a letter
setting forth principals, and calling upon
the working class and all others in SYM
pathy with its historic mission to abolish
wage slavery and establish a higher order
of society, to unite their efforts to this
end he writes:-
The economic DEVELOPMENT has sens
rated society into two antagonfstic clas-
ses-the capitalist and the proletariar
The interests of these two classes being
Numerically opposed, a class struggle is
inevitable, it is the necessary outcome of
class distinctions which involve class in
terests. The Social Democratic party is
distinctively party of the working class
and is based upon the class struggle. 1t
emphasizes the necessity of class con-
sciousness on the part of the working
class, for only as laborers become con
scious of their class interests will they
unite to secure thier freedom While So
cialism represents the class interests of
the proletariat, it also represents the
higher interests of every member of So
ciety,, because it will realize a higher ana
nobler civilization
THE disgrace of the century lust
closed, is that with the hundred fold in
crease in our power of wealth production,
sufficient to supply man ytfmes over the
needs of all the people, we have only sue
ceeded in adding chiefly to the individual
wealth and luxury of the few. The great
mass of the people, when we consider all
their circumstances, are no better off to-
day than they were thirty years ago and
many are worse off, and this condition
will remain until we make the funda-
mental principle of social justice-equality
of opportunity, a realized fact in our
social class organization
Conditions are now ripe for the trans
formation. The nineteenth century was
distinctively the evolutionary period of
Socialism. At first during the germinat-
ing period, evolution proceeds slowly,
but it gains in rapidity and finally the
decisive step is usually accomplished at
once and is termed revolution. Revolu-
ton is the decisive event in evolution and
is generally the last step in period Of
slow growth and preparation.

TESTING PIER FLOORING.

The Hamburg American Steamship
Company is devoting considerable at
tention to the matter of pier flooring. 1t
has just had lain as ain experiment on
its Hoboken wharves three strips of
flooring near the freight run downs,
where they will be subjected to the great
est wear. Two Of the strips are COM
positions of cement and the third is
made of brick The company proposes to
have all of the piers foored with the
material that shows the least indication
of wear at tn end of six months. Thus
far one of the cement compositions, which
has a rough surface, appears to be wear
ing the best, but none of the strips has
ben down long enough to have its quail
ties properly tested.
The new Bremen piers are to be floor
ed with asphalt, similar to one of the
materials being experimental with by the

terday afternoon and transacted a lot of
routine business. There was but one
objection to the confirmation of the final

sewer in Henderson street and it was de-
cided to go ahead with the job. The con-
tract was awarded to M. T. Connolly

flow from their tenement hydrants in that
vicinity, which had frozen and left a
sheet of ice in the street in front of its
plant over foot in thickness. The mat
ter will be investigated.
