TUG EXPLODES With
nPATE -nPAIMn P0pnp
Four Men Killed in Upper
New York Bay.
One Other Victim May Not Recover
From His Hurts Many Others
Receive Injuries.

NEW YORK. Aug. 13.-With a roar
that was heard over half Staten Island
and all tie upper bay the big ocean-go-
ing tug Jacob Kuper blew up and sank
near Tompkinsville s. l., shortly after
o'clock this morning. causing the i'm
mediate loss Of the lives of four men.
one other man is in hospital in a
precarious condition. Five others re-
eeiTed more or less serious injuries.
One Of the victims OF the explosion of
the tugs boiler was member of the
crew of cotton laGen lighter which the
Kuper was just working into dock. The
captain of the tug. Harvey johnson.
went down with his craft.
Stunned by Shock.
1t was hours before any adequate
story of the explosion was told by thoss
who saw it or suffered from it, and even
then the account had to be pieced out
of fragmentary tales. For the minute
or so that things were happening every
body in the vicinity near enough TO see
what was going on was stunned from the
blast, the force of which can be Judged
from the fact that the tugs engineer
was blown out Of the engine room and
tossed many feet away on a heap of
burst cotton bales on the lighter.
Persons within a radius OF several
hundred feet said that they were lifted
up in the air by the explosion. The mi
raculous fact of it all was that anybody
who was close to or aboarti the tug
should have survived. eaaa
Victims of the Explosion.
The list of the men who lost their
lives in the accident follows:
HARVEY JOHNSON. captain of the tug.
- HENRY. fireman on the trg
- NICHOLS, fireman on the tug

William Purdy. engineer OF the tug;
leg broken, suffering from scalding,
taken to the Seamen's Retreat, at
Tompkinsville.
Lawrence Hansen. hand on the tug;
scalded taken to the Smith Infirmary.
Purdy was said to be in a very serious
condition when taken to the hospital.
and he set out TO get his ante-mortem
statement, but the engineer could tell
him little.
Saw Nothing Wrong.
All Purdy could say was substantially
this:
Il was in the engine room when we
went Up. l don't remember much. do
not believe that 1 noticed anything
wrong with the machinery before the
explosion, and I can't understand how
it happened. 1 was too dazed By the
shock to notice anything"
Three of the men were treated at the
Smith Dispensary and sent home. They
were:
Edward Larsen. acting captain of the
lighter; scalded and cut.
Christian Doer, hand on the lighter:
suffering from scalp wound and shock.
Charles Jones. hand on the lighter;
scalded.
Louis -, cook on the tug. who was
scalded and cut, was taken to the Ma

was shielded from severe injury by the
cotton bales, and after recovering from
slight shock was at work in an hour or
so helping to pump out the lighter,
which was badly shattered and leaking.

ing to a circular issued. The
idea is to enable those with love
for reading to find their way into
the field of good literature, and
not wander onto the side track of
yellow back novels and dime lit
erature. The idea is a good one
and has the sanction and approval
of many educators.

plan for the establishment of a

Mrs. Ella Balencia, teacher of

NAL to her educational ability.

and greatest progress during the
past month: Itasca Hill, gold
medal; Olga Susen, silver medal.
Though all her pupils show the

a limited number can secure
the prizes.

Claude the Unfortunate.
CHAPTER I.

Twas a beautiful day, the 9th
of June, when our hero, Claude
Clemantye Callan, of Menard
county Enterprise fame, started
forth with his best girl to solve
the mysteries of pink lemonade
and enjoy the enchanting move
ments of the Hobby horse.
A kind lady, in answer to
his eloquent petition for funds,
paid her subscription, thus en-
abling our editor to stroll forth
with the airs of n Vanderbilt to
indulge in the luxuries of this
life. He followed his first inn
pulse and went straight to the
hobby horse; after the fifth round
he rose in the saddle, patted the
horses neck, spoke in soothing
tones, and then began his great
ride. On and on our hero went ;
in his bold eye shown a light that
seemed not of earth. But, alas,
all good things must end; our
hero was forced to descend to
terra firma" at the end of the
thirteenth round, and we heard
him remark: "The pleasures of
this earth are truly fleeting.
CHAPTER II.
"The saddest thing this life
holds is not to die
For sadder than that could be, by
far,
Is to take your seat in a lemon
pie, at a picnic"
With the above poetry Chap. ii
is open. Our hero, after the
first great event of the day, had
passed into history, wandered
about seeking for other worlds to
conquer, loosening the band of
his gray checks, and bnttoning
his light blue surge around his
manly form he went to dinner.
As he reached the place where the
feast was spread, he happened to
be accosted by a friend. Turning
round to address his friend, said
hero made an awkward move and
sat down with much vehemence
in a delicious lemon pie. The
pie was ruined, so was our editor,
for the time being, but with the
aid of ''red bandanna" draped
about the clinging pie, he es-
capped to the woods. The enter
prise Office is gloomy, weepings
and wailings issue forth, and

nardville pass by with looks of
pity. All, we'll -
