CAPT. COLES STORY
He Found the Pttsburg's Passengers
ina Terrible Plight Sunday.
Tells How They Counted up the Dead
and Missing MANY Had no
Clothes.
TIED UP TIER FEET IN RAGS

Maude Kilgore, which took the sur
viving crew and passengers of the i'll.
fated City of Pittsburg from the scene
Of the disaster to Cairo Sunday, says
he never knew Of more appalling
calamity, and it certainly will never
be known exactly how many pnfortu-
mates lost their lives in the catss-
trophe.
Captain Cole furnishes many inter-
esting facts and incidents not hereto
fore published. He was on his way
to Paducah with the Kilgore and
tow, aud at Cairo learned Of the de.
struction Of the steamer. When he
got within few miles Of the wreck he
met tug with barge, and thought il
had been to the boat and rescued the
survivors.
When he reached the place, how
ever. a most pitiable sight greeted his
crew. There were eighty almost des-
titute people huddled about ON the
banks around large fires built OF brush
to keep off the mosquitoes and dry out
their scanty clothing. The tug had
NOS been there, and the officers had
not even heard OF the burning Of the
steamer. il afterwards developed.
The people were very glad to find
in Captain Cole rescuer. He took
them sll aboard ana gave them what
clothing he had.
Eight Of tine ladies had nothing but
their night dresses, and fully one-half
of the eighty survivors had no shoes
or head coverings. Some Of the
country people hal. brought few ar
ticles OF clothing, but not near enough
20 90 around. One man had no cloth
ing except night shirt, which he
guarded with assiduous perseverance,
rs IL he was afraid he would lose thai,
too.
Those who had no shoes had cagel-
oyed thor Feet In rags and leaves as a
protection from cold and mosquitoes,
Fortunately, however. in the exeite-
ment and grief Of hours OF anguish
and suffering. they had regarded the
hordes OF mosquitoes as an inconsen-
fence OF little consequence, and had
suffered very little from their bites
II was not until they boarded the

TALK OF WORLD SHIP TRUST.
Suggestion That Pacific Lines Ma!
Come Into the Combine.

survestion That Pacific Lines May
Come Into the Combine.
New York, April 25.-lt has been sug-
gested that the new shipping combine
will probably enter into close relations
with the Pacific steamship lines con
trolled by ]. J. Hill, thus effecting a
worldwide community Of steamship in
terests," with resultant increase OF bust
ness to the transcontinental railroad
lines. Such suggestions are said to be
premature, but it is well known that the
Morgan and Hill interests in the steam
ship business, no less than in severa
railroad schemes, are practically 1den-
teal.
There Is no thought at this time OF
taking any of the coastwise lines into
the Morgan combination, although 1t If
pointed out that several such lines run
ming to Mexico, Central and South
American ports offer great possibilities
In the way of increased business.
William R. Grace, who controls large
South American interests, has been Il
frequent visitor to the Morgan banking
house recently, but his business, 1t Is
believed, had nothing to do with the
staa mship combine.

ADMIRALTY ON ALERT
British Officials Take Acton In &c.
gard to Shipping Trust
QUESTION OF SUBSIDIES UP,
House Of Commons Informed That
Committee Has Been Appointed
to Consider the Form Of
Future Agreements.

London. April 25.-1n the house or
commons the secretary of the admiral
ty, Hugh O. Arnold Forster, replying
to question, said the admiralty was
considering the whole matter of ship
rights Of the admiralty in the event of
contingencies arising such as the sug-
gested shipping combine.
When the present form of agreement
was settled upon, no trade combina-
tons under foreign control were con-
templated, but the admiralty had ap-
pointed committee to consider and re-
port on the purpose and form of future
subsidy arrangements.
The admiralty in the meanwhile had,
he said, made arrangements with the
White Star line which would preclude
the possibility Of any of their armed
cruisers or merchant steamers being
transferred to foreign flag without
the consent of the admiralty during the
unexpired portion OF the admiralty
agreements.
Important Points Involved.
He declared that important legal
points were involved, including the Ques-
tons whether, in the event Of war, there
was anything to prevent these compa-
MES from substituting foreign for the
British flag at short notice and whether
the admiralty has the means Of Ell
forcing its right of pre-emption or hire
in such case, or If by abandoning the
subvention the companies could claim
that the rights of presumption ceased.
All such points would be carefully con
sidered, and the admiralty's rights
would be ascertained.
Replying to a question in the house
Of commons as to whether the board
of trade had received information that
several lines had been sold to an Amer
lean company, with it's principal plac"
of business in the United States, and
whether the vessels so sold would re-
tain the British flag, the president of
the board of trade. General Balfour.
said he had no information showing
that the sale had been accomplished.
If the vessels had been sold, they
would pass to another flag.
1t was said during the afternoon that
the present uncertain position of the
Cunard and other steamship compa-
MES in standing out from the Atlantic
combine was to some extent due to the
action Of the admiralty, 'as outlined by
Mr.. Arnold Forster.

Another Great Cure

Grand and mysterious are the many
wonderful cures made by one Of
Barre's most prominent physicians
prominent because he cures to stay
cured. There are cases that have ba-
fled the skill OF many Of our best
physicians at home and elsewhere,
where patients that have been given
up to die are to day living, walking
testimonials of this great specialists
ability to cure after others have fail
ed And:: there is scarcely a day that
we do not hear OF some wonderful cure
made by this great specialist. For
illustration take the case Of Mr.. Will
lam MCGEE one of our best known and
most respected citizens, whose resi-
dence is at No. 1872 South Main street.
when seen by the writer he said:
81 know DR.. Morrow we'll. He Is
not only first-class physician but a
perfect gentleman, and l would trust
my life or the lives of my family In
his hands at any time. To-day l owe
my life to him. If it had not been
for him l should not have been alive
to day. This l am sure of. For the
past ten years have been great
sufferer from stomach trouble and ca.
tarrh of the bowels, and have been
treated by many physicians at home
and elsewhere with but little relief.
While suffering a severe attack of
bowel trouble last October, the 23d.I
was taken down with typhoid fever in
a very severe form-I believe ] am
a lie to Judge, as this was my third
attack-and / had been told dy doc
tors the second time l had the fever
that, with my severe stomach and
bowel trouble, ii ever had it again
could not live. But while there is life
there is hope. and as DR.. Morrow had
done so much for my little daughter,
in the treatment Of catarrh, sent for
him. He went to work on me as
though he knew his business, and in
nine days he had the fever broken
and in fourteen days was able to 60
out of doors, although very weak.
But DR.. Morrow carefully attended to
me for about two months, when he
pronounced me cured, and up to the
present time 1 have had no return of
any of old troubles and feel better
and weigh more than have for the
past ten years. ! am sure the cure is
permanent and would honestly recon-.
mend DR.. Morrow of No. South
Main street, Barre, VT, to any and
all of my friends that need honest
medical attention. "(Signed

member of private banking firm that

committed suicide when the crash

the intention of personally making
good the 100000 loss to the patrons.
He owned only quarter interest IL

70 FIGHT STEEL TRUST
Harvester Company Buys Iron
Mines and Will Enter Steel
Business.
1t Will Be Independent Of the
United States Steel Cor
poration.
The Project Involves Erection Of
Furnaces. ETC.. Costing
$3.00O,O0O.

Chicago, April ga 100000 pro-
cago of 1000 or more men, is about to
be put on it's feet by interests that have
suffered at the hands of the ore and
steel combines.
The plan involves a s2,0oO,0Oo steel
mill in South Chicago and a line OF
boats to run between the mill and some
Mesaba range port.
Already the Kinney Hawkins Crosby
mine, the third largest of the Mesaba
range, has been bought by interests
identified with the South Chicago en-
terprise. The purchase price. as an
nounced in dispatches from Duluth
yesterday was $525,000. The Deerins
Harvester Company appears as tn 2
buyer.
1t was stated in Chicago that the
proposed mill will be devoted to the
manufacture of the iron and steel
which enter into the construction OF
agricultural machinery. With its own
mine, it's own vessels and its own mill,
the Deering company and any other
companies which may be associated in
the venture will be independent of the
combines which heretofore have work
ed them harm.
The mill which will consume the
product of the Mesaba mine is to be
constructed by the South Chicago Fur
mace Company on it's property at One
Hundred and Sixth street and the Call
umet river.
Two months ago it was announced
that this same Company was about to
erect a mocern blast furnace with a
capacity of $40 tons of pig iron a day.
The furnace will cost from $750,O0O to
$1,000, 900, and will be completed In
about year. 1t will be located on the
south end of the company's property
at the Calumet river. so as to readily
admit of vessels delivering ore.
The mill itself will be to the north of
the furnace and will reach we'll up To
One Hundred and Sixth street. 1t is
expected the preliminary work of con-
structing the mill will begin as soon as
President w. L. Brown of the company
returns from Cleveland
The South Chicago Furnace Com
pany was organized in March. 1899, for
the purpose of purchasing and operat-
ing the old plant of the Calumet Iron
and Steel Company.

Patrons of the Lines Take Stock
in the Central Com.
pany.
A County Exchange to Be Main
tanned Advantage of the
System.

Des Moines. April 23.-Editor G. S.
Turrll, of the Jefferson Souvenir, has
just completed successful reorganiza-
ton of the independent telephone busl-
ness of Greene county. He devised the
plan on which the reorganization has
been effected and large extensions
planned company with 100000
capital has been formed. $4,000 of
which is in preferred stock. This has
beer sold to Greene county people at
500 share and guarantee of 10 per
cent annual dividend, payable in serv-
ice. This, however, is a detail concern
ing which much might be written, in
view OF the alacrity with which the
farmers took up the stock as demons
trating the immense amount OF riches
which the people of this state have
laid by.
The real Importance of the matter
lies in the plan for county exchange.
This has not been effected in any other
county of the state, altho several have
been figuring. on it. Under the organ
ization effected by Mr.. Turrill's COM
pany in Greene county, every person
holding phone can talk to every 9TH
er man in the county who has phone.
A farmer can talk to every town in the
county accessible to him and find out
the best market within twenty minutes.
The tremendous advantage OF such
system is quite apparent at once. With
a score of Individual and separate mu-
t,al and independent companies charg-
ing tolls to talk over each others lines,
the phone renter would have to pay for
his own phone and pay tolls beside. III
the Greene county case the phone
renter talks over the entire county
without extra charge. The rental for
the phones is but SIS for residence and
farmers phones and $25 for business
houses in the towns.
The purchasing committee OF the
Turrill company has just completed
contracts in Chicago for supplies, IN

car loads of cross arms, etc. I'VE eX-
