the flames as well as with those work
ing with the lifeboats. Few could ad-
just life rreservcrs or do anything for
themselves
The smoke was sitting. Great clouds
tloated through the blazing steamer,
choking the passengers and adding to
the terror. Children cried pitifully,
begging that they he saved.
IifeGOats We're manned, and every
effort was made to save the passengers
from the floating furnace Of flames.
From the river banks the sparks
from the burning craft and the dense
clouds Of smoke tinged with flames
made a most impressive and weird
Spectacle.
Bouts were sent from shore to help !
In the work of rescue. Boats laden TO

attire they were able to gather were
landed at the river banks. As fast as
the boats could l,. rmplied they re-
turned 10 the i'll iated steamer. the
rescuerS losing no time from their
work.
The burning steamer was quickly
headed to the bank. but passengers
were forced 10 jump from the stern,

swift current many were drowned.

STATEMENT ! BY
THE PAINTERS.

| AT a meeting Of the striking paint
ers on Saturday the following
statement was siveu for publica
ton;
| With an earnest desire 10 lay be.
fore the people OIL Wilmington ;
clear exposition OF the differences
existing between the master paint
ers and their employees, and to pre-
vent any deception or distortion OF
facts the,IIoust Painters Union sub.
mi,s The following statement ior the
| judgment OF the public:
The House Painters Union was
rsanized on January IA, 1900. The
wages of the members at that time
! was S. IS day tor hours. Short
ly after organization was effected
the men made demand Tor an in.
crease Of Is cents day, and less.
ening OF the hours OF employ mcnt to
eight.
The master painters felt, at the
time that they could not comply
with the request OF the union and
as consequence compromise was
accepted, by which the wages were
increased 10 50 50 day, but Still
With . hours work, and in order
for the uniop 10 agree to the COM
promise the. master painters prom
ised that they would listen to their
employees first demand at some fut.
ure time. The union also agreed
that no journeyman painter, when
not regularly employ ed should take
work by tie piece or contract, feel.
ing it their duty not to conflict with
their employers in any manner.
Although that rule has. caused
hardship on mole than one occasion
and the men have rigidly lived up
10 1t. Again. owing 10 the fact that
al! building trades, with the eNcep.
tion OF painters are working on s
hour schedule, the union notified the
master painters on the 9TH OF Jan.
uary, 1902, that April /, the paint
ers would expect to receive the then
prevailing wages Cn an eight hour
schedule. Wishing TO treat the
master painters in Ca just manner
the union further notified them that
if they had any contracts that
could not be finished by the men.
toned time, the members OF the
union would be allowed to work 9
hours until those contracts were lin.
lshed provided, however that the
master painters would inform the
union 10 DAYS after receipt of mott
ication that they had any such con.
tracts on hand. This communica-
ton was ignored, but since the
strike they have made the following
offer, viz: 81. 25 day for IS hours.
House rents aud all the necessi-
ties o. life have reached an almost
impossible height, aud when the
public will stop to think, that owing

days during the year the average

ers is but So. 50 week, they will
realize that it was impossible for
