SIXTEEN PERSONS DROWNED
STEAMER OVERSEE BY SQUALL ON THE
OHIO RIVER

Paducah KY, Aug. 19-The steamer City of
Golconda, plying between this city and Eliza
bethtown H., was struck by a squaIl in a storm
about I o'clock tonight, as she was bound for
Paducah She turned over in ten feet of water
six miles above the city, as she was going into
Crowell's landing. Sixteen persons are reported
drowned. The disaster occurred as supper was
served, and many of the seventy-hve pas
sengers 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 the pilot E. E. Peck.
were the last to leave the boat and swim TO
shore. They saved several persons struggling in
the water and left the survivors in a house near
the bank and came to the city Captain Bauer.
who arrived here two hours after the catas-
trophe, said:
The boat was getting ready to land when the
squall struck her and she listed. Several pas
sengers. who were inside jumped overheard and
We're caught by the boat. The women 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 were in the cabin,
H. f. Worten and n. S. Quartermouse, of
Hampton, broke through the glass and were
saved Three colored deckhands saved woman
and child and I think she was the only woman
saved. yawl that had broken loose was
caught by some OF those struggling in the water
and taken TO the bank. We returned to the
boat on this but could find no signs Of life and
went ashore.
The boat valued at about 81, 800, and was
owned by Captain Otto Bauer, of Golconda Ill.
There is way to determine the number of
dead and their names until the boats books
shall be found. Captain Peck places the num-
Der at sixteen. The Mary n. started soon after
the survivors reached the city for the scene.

The strikers deny that any real progress

SCHWAB TO LEAVE TRUST
A AUIHORITAT TIVE REPORT THAT
He WILL RESIGN.

COMPANIES
Ipr TELEGRAPH TO THE rR1BuxE.l !

Philadelphia, Aug. 19-It is authoritatively
reported here that when Charles NJ. Schwab
obtains actual control of the Bethlehem Steel
and Iron Companies, which deal will be con-
summated in brief time, he will resign the
presidency of the United States Steel Corpora
ton and devote his time to the management Of
the property acquired his own account. The
man who made this statement is connected with
the Bethlehem companies but he did not wish
his name to be quoted. His information he be-
lieved to be exact
since Mr. Schwab began negotiations for the
purchase of the Bethlehem companies" he said
no one has thought that he would hold the
properties for himself. 1t was first reported
tEat Schwab was acting as an agent for the
Maxim-Vi -Vickers-Cramp syndicate. 1 think every
cne can now see that this rumor baseless.
Ihen there came a story that the Bethlehem
property would be merged with the United
states steel Corporation That would be folly
and the men in the steel corporation would never
allow It, The Bethlehem company Is the only
one which competes with the United States Steel
corporation in furnishing armor plate the
government. II they be merged the
ultimate result would undoubtedly be the estab-
hshment Of government armor plate plant
Mr. Schwab has now got option nearly
ZooOOo shares of the Bethlehem steel stock.
which gives him control of the iron company
dlsO' before August 26 when the transaction
must be closed, he will hold nearly 100000
shares, leaving few outstanding. The profit of
the company was more than S1,O0O,O0O last
year, and believe that might be increased
Although Mr.. Schwab gets a princely salary
L think he will make more than the largest
amount which rumor has made that salary out
TO be IN the Bethlehem company Leaving this
out of the question. I know that Mr.. Schwab
has been anxious to make a change for some
time. While not on bad terms with J. Pierpont
Morgan. he has had some conflict at times. and
for that reason wishes to take up the Bethlehem
company plants"

81, 500 to unknown owners" for small parcei
of the property appropriated for the street
Reeves, Todd & Swain lawyers OF NO 90 LID

on an adjoining piece of land. found that the
Fox property had also been taken, and that the
owner was unknown Mr.. Swain searched the
records. and found that the last deed on the
nronertv was made in 1850 to George S. Fox
nv member of the old Leggett family, after
whom Ieggett's Creek was named, near which
the property is situated. and that Austen G.
Fox is the trustee of the estate. The Leggett
family who were Mr.. Fox's ancestors, owned
the land from the middle of the seventeenth
century. 1t is swamp land and useless for
building purposes but has some value because
of its proximity to the waterfront 1t Is west
of the Bronx River, opposite One-hundred-and-

I'VE discovered the ownership Of the property
purely by accident" said Mr.. Swain yesterday
''If we had made no investigation Of the tract

unclaimed like considerable other money that
people lose track of. The Fox property covers
about four acres and is worth probably $1,000
The city has taken only a small portion of II.
Another award will be made when Randall-ave

and could have handled the matter himself, he
has asked US 10 take charge of II, because we

SOUND STEAMERS IN 4 GALE.
TWO OF THEM COMPELLED TO LAND PAS
sENGERs AT CITY ISLAND PIER.

A southwest gale, which swept Long Island
Sound all day. increased to such violence last
evening that the three Sound steamers. the
Shldysde. OF the Bridgeport Line; the Harlem
of the South Norwalk Line. and the Rosedale
also of the Bridgeport Line, which left New
York early in the afternoon carrying passen-
gers and freight for Connecticut cities had TO
put into shore for safety. On the way UP the
Sound the boats had a rough experience The
waves dashed about them twenty feet high and
the more excitable of the passengers feared that
they would go to the bottom. The situation be-
came so threatening that the captains of the
Shadysde and the Harlem decided to land their
passengers. numbering about hundred and
fifty at the City Island pier. The RosedaIe
which is a side wheeler. attempted TO weather
the storm. but was forced TO seek shelter in
Hampstead Harbor. where she was anchored,
trying to ride out the storm.
The passengers who landed at City Island
were taken to Barlow and New-Rochelle in
horsecars where they boarded trains on the
New-York New Haven and Hartford Railroad
for Stamford Bridgeport, New-Haven and other
Sound cities. The trip from the boats TO the
railroad stations was made In a driving rain,
and the women were drenched.
AT Larchmont the storm. besides making the
race between the Cup defenders impossible. did
considerable damage 10 small yachts. Several
catboats were driven the rocks. and two
schooner yachts dragged their anchors. and were
forced TO seek shelter at Glen Cove.
