Hamburg, July 22.-The steamship
Primus, with 1875 passengers on board,
was cut in two and sunk by the tug
Hansa on the river Elbe at 1890
o'clock yesterday morning So far as
is ascertainable, so to 60 persons were
drowned
The Primus was an excursion
steamer from Buxtehude province of
Hanover, Prussia) The disaster oc-
CURED between Blankenez and Men
stedten. Among the passengers were
the members of the Eilbeck Male
| Choral society.
At the time of the accident the Pri-
mus was crossing the river channel
near Blankenez from the southern into
the northern fair-way. According to
witnesses aboard the Hansa the move
ment was made too precipitately.
The Primus struck the tugs engine
and the Hansa endeavored to push her
ashore, but the tug grounded and the
ships parted. The Primus then sunk.
In the interval, however, about fifty
of her passengers were able to reach
the Hansa by means of ropes and
ladders. Seventy more were picked
up by the tugs boats, while others
swan ashore.
The disaster caused deep gloom
here. Many children lost both their
parents. The choral society, which
was on board the excursion steamer,
consisted mainly of workmen. There
were no foreign passengers.
Capt. Petersen of the Primus swan
ashore and gave himself up to the
police. Capt. Sayers of the Hansa also
surrendered The Primus was the
Oldest boat on the Elbe. She was built
in England in 1874 and had never be-
fore met with an accident.
The TERRIBLE panic that occurred ON
the Primus when the Hansa struck her
sengers almost useless. Fortunately
Singers almost useless. Fortunately
the steamer Dolphin came up immedi-
ately and succeeded in saving go of
those on the sinking steamer, while
other boats assisted.
Survivors furnished graphic descrip-
| tions of the disaster. According to
their story, the band was playing and
many couples were dancing, when the
crash came. The vessel gave a great
list, the deck taking such an angle thai
It. was impossible for the passengers to
keep their feet. Those below scrambled
UP the companion-ways but most of the
persons in the saloon were drowned.
The men fought for their own safety
regardless of others. In the midst of
the confusion of bodies the boilers ex-
| ploded. adding to the horrors of the
scent. Nome of the Primus' passen.
gers would have been saved by ropes
| thrown from the Hansa had it not been
that before those who seized the ropes
could be hauled on board they we're
pulled off from the lines by other per
sons struggling in the water and all
were drowned. In the morning enor-
nous crowds poured out from Ham
burg and the shore was thronged with
thousands of friends and relatives of
those aboard the sunken steamer.
Many sad scenes were witnessed as the
bodies of the lost were washed upon
the beach or were brought ashore by
divers. 1t is asserted the divers nave
already recovered As bodies but as yet
it is impossible to verify the death list.
An attempt will Immediately be made
to float the vessel and when this is
done it is believed that more bode
will be found. Estimates place
number of dead at so to 60.

Must Cut Down Fare.

The state railway and ware
house commission yesterday an
nounced it's decision in the com
plant of w. Fl. Hallet, of Pequot,
Grow Wing county, against the
Minnesota & international rail-
way, which was filed with the
commits sion last April. Mr.. Hal
let charged that the Minnesota &
international did not furnish
proper passenger equipment for
doing a passenger business and
that it charged four cents mile,
which is contrary to state law.
The first hearing of the case
was held at Brainerd on Oct. 2.
The commission inspected the
car service and roadbed between
Brainerd and Smiley, and found
that there was no cause for COM
plant on the score of service
The hearing was tn en- adjourned
to December 10 in this city.
The decision rendered yester,
day finds that the road charges
four cents per mile, VIII lie any
rate above three cents is unreas-
enable. The company IS order
ed, therefore, to reduce it's rate
to three cents and is forbidd en-
to charge more. - Minneapolis

The Bemidji pioneer., 1902-12-25

Yesterday was a dull day for
passenger and freight on the
Great Northern. Freight trains
were tied up and the passenger
trains were hours late. The
morning eastbound train was the
only one to get through on time
during the day. A smashed log
ging train had the right of way.
just after the early east-bound
train had passed Selkce it was
followed by a logging train which
had been loaded at the spur with
logs for the Red River Logging
Co., bound for Akeley. Four
miles west of Bemidji, on the top
of the grade, about half a dozen
cars went off the rails. The rest
of the train was brought into the
yards here and a construction
crew after a long delay began to
gather up the wreck.
The morning west-bound pas
senger was held at Cass Lake all
forenoon, arriving here with the
regular afternoon local passen-
ger, an hour late. They proceed
ed west to the scene of accident,
where transfer of passengers
and baggage was made with the
east-bound. 1t was nearly five
o'clock when the anxiously wait
ing Christmas travellers were al
lowed to speed on their way to
waiting homes or destinations.
Several east-bound passengers
grew tired of waiting at the
wreck, as that point is on top of
a hill which makes it a distribut-
ing point for the coldest air in
the country, and they walked the
four miles into Bemidji.
A rumor was current yester-
day that log train was wrecked
on the M. & I. east of town, but
the rumor was unfOunded.

DECORATION IN METALS.
Copper a Favorite for Interior Work in
New Houses

Nothing probably is more marked
at the present time than the tendency
to introduce the metals into interior
decoration, copper being at present
a favorite, says the Architectural Rec
ord. The extension of the electric
light has created a demand for light
hand-wrought fittings in metal, from
which the use Of that material has
been extended to fire screens, STANDS,
or trays, flower and lamp standards,
and to all the hundred and one small
objects that crowd the modern draw
ing-room. So far as the architect is
concerned, he is affected by the in
creased use of metal in the furniture
Of doors, in the fittings of all kinds
of windows, in grilles in and about
the fireplace, as in hooks, blowers,
basket CRATES, fire dogs, etc, as well
as in the use of metal holdings to
inclose marble or tile Innings. 0cca-
sionally small doors are cased in
beaten plates of metal, and, in fact,
there is no reason why, with the con-
stantly increasing means Of cheap
production and working Of the met
ais, the practice should not be further
extended, as in the covering of piers,
jambs between ranges Of small win
dows, ceilings and other suitable
places. We know that in the age Of
Homer great effects were obtained
by the metal-lined interiors Of the
Hall Of the Chieftains, while from
Assyrian excavations have been re-
covered wonderful specimens ofmetal
applied to doors. Metal used for cas-
ing purposes in the present day re-
quires to be very thin, and is best
mounted on a wooden foundation.

UGANDA,s BOY KING.

ruler showed himself a courteous,
well-bTed little fellow, and seems to
have inherited from Mwanga, his I'm

for appearing all things to all men.
Only in this case the little chap is
honest and gentle, and gives promise
Of proving a royal servant of the en-

days when the impossible Mwanga di-

The Yukon News says that the va

tons Of FISH this year, so being salmon.
The amount does not seem very large,
but it is a matter of Importance to a

thusiasts, "there are pieces of gold the
size OF a bean at IL feet below the sur
face, what will it be when bedrock
is reached?"
The Dawson Daily News gives the
particulars of this seasons yield of
gold, reaching $23,OO3,O 900. In July
$9,725,00O worth was taken out. Up
to 1897 the annual yield was small

$16,OOO,OOO; 1900, $22,2 75,O 900; total
for five years, including 1891, $751;

of an opulent woodpile left the fol-
lowing notice thereon: "This is my

AN UNLOCKED OR DUN.
Lawyer Unwit.ingIy Rsksd Up an old
Account Against himself.

Account Against himself.
Every business mar that extends
credit accumulate in time a number
Of bad accounts. For a time he sends
monthly statements to the delin,
quents. Then, having no desire to
waste stamps and stationery, he sends
a dun once a year, with the announce
ment that the matter will soon be
placed in the hands Of an attorney for
collection.
After that the account becomes one
of the doubtful assets and is kept on
the books becauseit may be good some
day. The debtor may experience a
change Of heart, or come into prop
erty. A tailor, thinks the Milwaukee
Sentinel, a give some information
regarding accounts of this kind. tits
frequently said that the paying Gus
toners of a fashionable tailor buy
clothes for the deadbeats. OF five
men who order suits, one will beat the
tailor. The tailor, to protect himself,
must get the price of five suits out Of
the four men who pay. One who had
banked up a large number Of desper-
ate accounts told a lawyer friend of
his troubles, and the lawyer said to
him:
why don't you get after these fell
lows?7
"Well," said the tailor, eff put the
accounts into the hands Of an agency
the expense would eat up whatever
portion Of the accounts they could col
lect."
Don't give them to an agency. l
have in my office two young men who
are reading law. They are anxious to
make some money on the side, and
will collect for you on a percentage.
1t won't cost You anything, and they
have the time to hunt these fellows up
and keep after them"
"You send them around, and III
give them plenty to do"
On the day following this CONVEX
;ation the two students OF law called
on the tailor and were given a big
bundle Of old accounts. They re-
turned to the office, and one of them
went in to tell the lawyero Of their good
fortune.
"If you boys get right after these
fellows and keep after them you can
collect a great many Of those bills and
make some money" said the lawyer,
who vas always generous with father
ly advice.
"We'll do our BEST said the young
man.
"Few Of them can be collected by
law, but you can worry a deadbeat un-
til he pays you. Stick to en-
eyes, sir" said the young man:
"and, by the way, when could you at
tend to this?" And he laid down a
statement showing that the lawyer
was indebted to the tailor in the sum
Of $12 for a pair o trousers purchased
