SOUND STEAMER BURNS
%
Central Vermont Line Freight Boat
Destroyed by Firs.
The Mohawk Caught Fire at Night When
or Cornfield-One of Her Crew Lost
Remainder Rescued by the Boston.

Fall River, Mass.-The Fall River
Line freight steamer Boston arrived at
her pier in this city about 8 a. M,
three hours late, having stopped to res
cue the crew of the Central Vermont
Railroad freighter Mohawk, which the
Boston overlook, on fire, in Long Island
brought twenty-seven persons from the
Mohawk, including twenty-five of the
crew and two women, wives Of officers
of the Mohawk. Andrew Larsen. the
night Waterman of the steamer, a
Swede, was lost. AS he was the per-
son who should have discovered the
fire, and as no report from him was
received by the officers of the ship, it
is supposed that he was overcome by
the flames and burned to death. The
members of the crew remained in Fall
River only a short time, taking a train
for Providence. The captain of the
Boston gives the following account of
the disaster:
The Boston came up with the Mo-
hawk at 1916 o'clock in the morning,
lOOuL IL III CdSt u OOIuu0Iu. Liz
Mohawk was then about an hours run
from New London, her usual terminus
on the eastward trip. The Mohawk
was stopped and was burning furious
ly forward. She signalled the Boston,
which ran up a. close as possible and
stood by to give assistance. A boat
containing two women and some mem
bers of the crew put out from the Mo-
hawk almost Immediately after the
Boston's arrival, and the two women
were placed safe on board the Fall Riv-
er line boat. The boat crew which had
come to the Boston put back at once.
An hour later, driven by the spreading
of the flames, the Mohawk's crew
abandoned the burning vessel and
reached the Boston in two boats. As
they drew away it was seen that the
Mohawk vas ablaZe from end TO end.
and shortly after they had reached the
Boston a heavy explosion occurred on
the Mohawk, which lifted the deck.
The smokestacks flew upward, fol-
lowed by a burst of fame and dense
columns Of black smoke. Then the
flames leaped up to a great height and
continued burning fiercely. 1t was ap-
parent that no further purpose would
be served if the Boston remained by,
and she resumed her course for Fall
River.
The Mohawk's men said that the fire
was discovered by those in the pilot
house shortly after midnight. 1t was
pretty we'll forward, and the crew were
at one sent to their stations to fight
the flames. The great heat, however,
prevented them from getting close to
the blaze, which spread and steadily
drove back those who opposed it until
the entire vessel was doomed. AS the
night Waterman was the person who
should have discovered the fire, and as
no report from him was received by
the officers of the ship, it is believed
that he attempted to quench the flames
and was overcome and burned to death.
The MOhawk's cargo, it was said
here, was one of the heaviest in
months. 1t included nearly 1000 bar
relS of sugar, a large quantity of baled
rags, besides oil and gasolene. Those
who were on board of her were unable
to estimate her value or to approx
mate the value of her cargo.

American Wife in London Eyes.

"a little woman, quietly but richly
gowned, descended the plank when the
Oceanic made fast yesterday" says a
New York paper. This little woman
was formerly cook and maid of all
work, we learn from the same source,
in a squalid mining camp. But she is
now Mrs. Samuel Newhouse, wife Of a
favorite in the most exclusive set in
london, a welcome visitor among the
400 of New York City, a charming hos
tess, and the chief inspiration of a nus
band who counts his wealth by the
millions" Moreover, we are told that
while Mr.. Newhouse's affection for his
wife is "all-embracing," he clings to
the Flatiron Building and his Colorado
mines and railroads and makes his
home is Salt Lake City, "where Mrs.
Newhouse frequently visits him." The
devotion of the American wife!-Lon-
don Chronicle.

told the pupils that they must not mo

They were Obcdient children and re-

since most of them went barefoot, they
were not axious TO stir up trouble in

merits of Peruna as a catarrh remedy are
pouring in from every State OF the Union.
DIR. Hartman is receiving hundreds Of
such letters daily. All classes write these
letters, from the highest to the lowest.

The stage and rostrum, recognizing ca
tarrh as their greatest enemy, are espe-

Any man who wishes perfect health must
be entirely free from catarrh. Catarrh is
well-nigh universal; almost omnipresent.
Peruna is the only absolute safeguard
known. A cold is the beginning of catarrh.

Australian Women Voters.

Now that the right of the franchise
has been granted to australian women,
extraordinary efforts are being made
to get the woman to exercise the
right. At large meetings held for the
purpose the non-voters are told that
the eyes of the entire world are upon
them, and that unless they vote the
malign prophecies of the enemies of
the cause will be fulfilled. Friends of
the movement predict that the first eff.
fects of the women's vote will be TO-
ward conservatism, but that when they
learn their power 1t will be toward
progressiveness.
