Without an Instant's " arnins Huge
Bell at Top of Stack Crashes
Down on Them.

Cleveland. Aug 13.-The Cleveland
Furnace companys plant. just COM
pleted at a cost of nearly million
dollars, was the scene of an accident
II which three mems lives were in
stantly crushed out. The dead: Frank
Virone, George Peters and Michael
kreeji
The first blowing in of the new blast
furnace was to occur and the three
men were inside the stack. laying the
last course of material, when, without
an instant's warning, the huge bell at
the top of the stack, rs feet above
where the men were at work, crashed
down on them The bell, which is
used to regulate the draught in the
stack. weighed six tons. and. in falling
tilted on its side in such a manner
that the bodies could not be reached
except from the top of the stack By
lowering ropes the bodies were thus
removed. All must have been killed
instantly. The bodies were removed
to the morgue. The financial loss
cannot as yet be estimated, but the
beginning of operations at the plant
will be delayed for some time 1t is
supposed that the accident was caused

WILL BREAK CAMP
West Virginia Soldiers VIII
Leave for Homes Tomorrow.
Yesterday was Gouernor's Day-Prof.
Hodges Says Presence of Regulars
Has Had Fine Effect Fairmonr
Company Fine one.

After today Camp Elkins will be
history. This is the last day of the
National Guard encampment, and to-
morrow, the boys will be home. Com.
pany L will probably arrive at 10
Friday night.
Yesterday was Governors Day at
Camp Elkins, and Governor White
and his staff were on hand. The usu-
al elaborate ceremonies were observed,
and the troops were inspected and
reviewed. There was also notable
gathering Of Republican politicians
from all parts of the State.
MOTOR Thomas &c. Hodges, inspector
Of Small Arms Firing, who is home
from the eneampment, says the pies
enee of the troops from the regular
army has had most wholesome eff
feet on the National Guardsmen.
They have inspired the volunteers to
emulation, and the men have shown
more OF the real bearing of soldiers
than ever before.
$50 far as the drilling in simple
formations and executing the man
nual OF arms are concerned, says
Prof. Hodges, ''some of the companies
are equal to the regulars. Where they
fall short is in the conduct and bear
ing Of the individual soldiers, when
not on duty, or when doing guard
duty. Much of the ,laxness hereto
fore noticeable has disappeared, and
the volunteers have a bearing and air
more soldierly than ever before
Major Hodges also says that there
has been less drinking, carousing and
the like in camp this year than ever
before, AMI he is highly pleased with
the progress being made by the guard :
He speaks in the highest terms of
the efficiency of the Fairmpnt Compa-
ny under the command 6f Captain
Nicely.

Train Plunues Into River.

Pittsburg, Aug. 13-Five freight
cars and an engine, on the latter the
engineer and fireman, plunged over a
10-foot bank into the Allegheny river
from the Junction railroad tracks at
the foot of Thirty-fourth street. Fire
man Frank Geayin had an ankle
broken. Both he and the engineer
jumped when they felt the first shock
of a collision which caused the acct
dent. The engineer, Michael Gibben,
escaped entirely, but Geayin became
entangled in the curtain on the engine
and was thrown to the ground.

TWELVE YEAR OLD BOY
Has Disappeared, Leaving no
Trace Whatever.

Arnold Watson Left Home Tuesday
Morning and has not Been seen or
Heard of Sinee-Mother is Frantic
Boy had Money, and will probably
Come Back when IT is Gone.
Arnold Watson, the tweive-year-old
son Of Mis-, Geo. Watson,a widow who
lives on Bridge street, South Morgan
town, djoining the Madigan residence,
disappeared from his home early Tnes-
day morning, has not been seen or
heard of since, and all efforts to find
him have been futile. There is no
evidence to indicate the direction or
manner in which he left town.
The boy had been employed by
Thony Pietro, the contractor, as water
carrier for the workmen. They were
at work on the top OF South Park hill.
He left home Tuesday morning as
usual, with his dinner pail, and went
in the direction usually taken on his
way TO work
He never showed up at the place
where he was employed. Evening
came and the mother expected his
homecoming as usual The hours
wore on, and the mother spent an
anxious night. Her inquiries failed
to elicit any information as to his
whereabouts. Yesterday, she notified
the police Of his disappearance and
they Immediately set about to find
him.
Not the slightest trace of him could
be found. No one had seen him on
Tuesday morning. His employer
knew nothing whatever Of his where
abouts. Officer Fleming took long
drive around the city, and through
the suburbs, making inquiries CT every
one, but as yet. no one has been found
who saw the boy.
lie has relatives at Halleek, this
county, and on Aarons Creek. These
were called up by telephone, but could
give no account of him. They had
not seen or heard of him.
Mrs. Watson is almost frantic about
her boy 1t is hardly possible that
anything has happened to him, bus
she does not know what danger he
may be eneountering. The police are
doing all that can be done to find him
and he may be located at any time.
{ The boy has a bold, adventurous
spirit, and is probably seeking adyen-
ture. He had some money and will
probably come back when this is gone
Mrs. Watson has the sympathy Of
everyone in her anxiety, and will re-
ceiye any information that can be
given her in regard to her boy. She
is almost frantic over his absence
She has another son about 5 years of
age.

Didn't Lose $50.

A alosts ad was handed to this pa
per yesterday afternoon, stating that
an envelope containing $50 had been
lost on the streets between l and 3
O'Clock. The young engineer who
thought he had been so unfortunate,
worried not little about the matter.
Late in the evening, one of the banks
found $50 to their credit, which could
not be accounted for. Investigation
developed that the amount had not
been taken from the bank, as the
young man had thought. The .'losth
ad was withdrawn.

The Canadian Revenue Cutter
Fires Upon an American
Fishing Boat.
WORK FOR STATE DEPARTMENT
One man Hit in the Leg by Shot.
Now in Hospital-The Fishermen
Say That the Petrol Used Her Small
Deck Cannon.

Erie, Pa, Aug. 13.-The Silver
Spray, a fishing boat, owned here,
came into port in badly shattered
condition, due to an encounter in mid.
lake about noon with the Canadian
Revenue cutter Petrol.
The Canadian authorities have had
trouble with American fishermen for
bears, who were poaching on their
side of the lake and the Petrol is kept
constantly on the lookout for them.
About noon she came upon the Sill
yer Spray ON the Canadian side of the
lake and at once ordered Captain Chris
Schau to stop. The Petrol Is a strong
steel craft and attempted to ram the
American boat before she could COM
ply with the former order. Captain
Schau remembering the fate of sever
al other boats from this side, which
had been captured and confiscated, two
from Erie only last season, decided to
try to escape and started ahead at full
speed.
The captain of the Petrol when he
saw that the Silver Spray was trying
to get away, opened fire with all the
guns he had on board and before he
ceased firing some 20 shots had struck
her. One passed through the smoke
stack into the pilot house, one Of
which came within few inches of
him, scattering myriad of splinters
around his head
One shot gr.azed the nose of one of
the crew and all the othefs, of which
there were seven, had narrow escapes
The fact that no one was killed is
simply miraculous, as two shots enter
cd the water closet. two in the cabin,
two In the roof, three in the after hur-
ricane deck and the others in various
parts of the boat
The chase was kept up for some lit
tie time and Captain Sehau was nearly
in despair, as his cold water pump re-
fused to work and he was also afraid
that his boat might be struck below
the water line and sunk He was very
lucky, however, to get across the di-
viding line, and the Petrol gave up
the chase.
The Silver Spray is double decker
and was for II years in service at
Buffalo, as pleasure steamer.
Captain Schau will report the affair
to the State Department at Washing
ton as he says he was only looking
for some OF his nets which had drifted
from this side toward the Canadian
shore.
large number of American fishing
tugs have been captured on the other
side in the last few years and all have
been conflscated by the Canadian gov.
eminent. One, however, belonging at
Dunkirk, was few weeks ago ordered
returned by Secretary of State Hay.
Erie, Pa, Aug 1.-THE only mau
injured on the Silver Spray was Fred
ertck Culver, who was hit on the leg
BY shot. He'is now in the hospital.
The fishermen say the Petrol used her
small deck cannon.
Washington. Aug. 13.-Up to a late
hour the state department had re-
ceived no adviees regarding the oc-
currence. Acting Secretary of State
Loomis, in the absence of any report
from Captain Sehau on the subject,
declined to make any statement con-
corning the international aspect of the
