DIED IN ALASKA.
Near Cape Romanon-Perisbed
In "a storm.

Nome, July 10, via Seattle, Wash,
July ga tragic story comes from
st. Michael. A party of men en- route
to Nome recently found the bodies Of
six men at n point near Cape Roman
of. IL is presumed they all froze to
death during some one of the terrible
billiards. that prevailed last winter.
The bodies were scattered at inter
yals-five of them about n quarter OF
mile apart. They were outstretched
upon the tundra and each was found
wrapped in blankets. Each had some
camp equipment near him, but no
food. One OF the dead men evidently
had been either wounded or sick, an
he laid on n cot, constructed of a pair
Of oars and canvass sheet. 1t would
seem that n storm must have over
taken the men carrying him. EVIDENT
ly becoming exhausted, they ADAM
doned and wandered off and each for
himself, to perish where found.
Gen. Randall was notified and has
ordered out party of soldiers to
bring in the bodies, and every effort
will be made to identify them. Gen.
Randall thinks that they were a par
ty of prospectors who, in an effort to
reach st. Michael, had run out Of pro-
visions and persisted from exhaus-
ton and exposure.

THE DEADLY OIL Can.
The Breakfast Was Late, and q
Mother Poured Oil on the
Fire to Hurry Up.
SHE AND THREE CHILDREN KILLED,
the Hospital Badly Burned-The
Incident Occurred In n Tenement
House, and the Explosion Was
Heard Throughout the Structure.

Pittsburgh, Pa, July 22.-An entire
family was burned in Penn avenue
tenement fire shortly before eight
o'clock this morning. The mother
and three children are dead, and the
husband is badly burned, and is now
at the hospital. The explosion of an
oil can was the cause of the fire. The
dead are:
Mrs. Sophia RATA, aged 80 years,
mother of the children.
Viola RATA, aged 8 years, oldest
daughter.
kashner Rata, a boy, aged year.

Poured OIL ON the Fire.
From what can be learned, Mrs.
RATA was preparing breakfast in her
apartments on the third floor of the
tenement house, in the rear of 2716
Penn avenue, shortly before eight
o'clock. The fire in the kitchen stove
was not burning as quickly rs she
wanted it to. and she took an oil
can and poured some of the oil on
the fire. In a moment a blaze from
the CRATE of the stove ignited the
oil in the can, and an explosion, which
was heard throughout the house, fol-
lowed.
Burning OIL Scattered over Room.
The burning oil was scattered over
the room, setting Ere to the clothes
of Mrs. RATA and the children.
The husband was in an adjoining
room, and his injuries were sustained
while trying to save his wife and chill
dren.
The house in which the fire oc-
CURED was n two and one-half story
frame. 1t was owned by Mrs. Bar
bara Zankle. who conducted a bake
shop on the first floor. The loss is
placed at $500, partly insured The

but the only persons injured were
the Ratzas. The bodies of the four
victims were removed to the morgue.

SOME ONES MAKING MONEY.
Bank Notes Printed From the OrIgi-
nal Plates of "A New Jersey
Bank. In Circulation.

Washington, July 22.-Chief Willie.
OF the secret service, has received "A
number Of bank notes printed from
the original plates used by the State
bank OF New Brunswick. \. j., over
fifty years ago. The bank went out
Of existence some time in the SOS. and
il was supposed that the steel plates
from which its notes were printed
were destroyed. II seems. however,
that those plates have fallen into the
hrr"s Of partics who have print
ed from them large quantities Of
notes which have been put into circu-
lation from New York to san Fran
cisco. \ very large percentage of the
notes are IS. and some IS and los are
being sent i'm. Inasmuch as the notes
are not counterfeits of any United
States or obligation, the makers
and passers can not be prosecuted
under the United States laws, but IL
is said they can be punished for fraud
under the state laws IL appears that
the notes readily pass along the Ca
madam frontier, as the takers think
they are the notes of the Canadian
province of New Brunswick. the
words New Jersey being printed in
small letters. The notes are printed
on bond paper, and are quite as good
in every way as the original 1t is
said that possibly 100000 of these
notes are in circulation.

row over for the boat. Nobody need
ever know"
Now, as some people know, and as
Edwards and Elliott discovered that
night, there are few things more de-
ceptive than the difference between
point and point on lake by water
and by land. \ Journey which may be
made In half an hour by boat may
take three or four hours when one
must follow the ms and outs OF a
tortuous shore line. But the Lincoln
park sailors had no suspicion Of this
interesting fact in physical geography
when they started on their trip.
IL was 1880 o'clock and the moon
was full when they started. For the
hrst mile the walking was along a
high grassy shore, with nothing 10 i'm.

everything seemed 20 happen at once.
The moon went under a black cloud.
and presently IL began 10 rain. The
open shore gave way TO tangle Of
underbrush. and presently the boys
pitched down into a swamp which in.
quilted them half way up TO their
knees. In the darkness they waded
around for few minutes until sud.
denly Elliott plunged at full speed into
a barbed wire fence. The rebound
sent him down backwards into the
slime. while his gold nose glasses went
into the darkness as II they had been
shot from a gun. Presently Edwards
had the same experience. His glasses
flew on his nose as he tripped over a
root, and the next half hour was spent
by both young men in looking for the
treasure they had lost After cropping
around in vain for IS minutes Elliott
became desperate, for without his
glasses he was next TO blind man.

ENGLISH WHEAT HARVEST.
The Tropical Heat Ripencd the
Grain Earlier Thsn Usual
Condition Of the Grain.

London, July 92.--The weather har-
vest has began in eastern Kent. This
is an earlier CONNIE pcement than
usual, the tropical heat having rapid
ly developed the grain.
Estimating the wheat prospects,
the Mark Lane Express says the
wheat will be fine, both in quantity
and quality on five per cent. of the
area sown; average on 25 per cent,
but the remaining 20 per cent. of
area sown will inevitably produce a
short crop. The straw crop will be
the smallest since 1898.
In it's preliminary trade estimate
the Mark Lane Express puts the Rus
sian wheat crop at 5s.ooo,OOO quarters,
against 56,0O0,OOO in 1900. On this
basis the export surplus should be 49,
600, 900 quarters.

TLLlOTr and Edwards are already
