TWENTY ARE HURT
ON RIVER STEAMER
Hurricane Roof of ST. Louis
Ferry Boat Falls With
Crowd.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, May 1.-The hurri-
cane roof of the ferry steamer Alonzo
c. Church collapsed early this evening
while the steamer was crowded with
sightseers viewing the United States
gunboat Nashville at anchor in the riv-
er harbor here, and about twenty peo-
pie were injured, a number of them be-
ing reported in a critical condition.
The names of the following injured
have been secured, but this list Is not
complete, as several persons were i'm
mediately taken to their homes before
their names were learned:
J. B. Wood, leg broken and inter-
nally injured.
George Montigo, both ankles frac-
tured.
Mabel Montigo. daughter, aged four
years, head hurt.
Edward Mack, leg crushed.
Mollie Collins. East ST. Louis, inter-
nally.
Philip Mangels, fourteen years old,
skull fractured.
Unidentified woman, serious internal
injuries.
About seventeen others, all residents
of st. Louis and East st. Louis, were
injured, none seriously.
The ferry steamer had been carrying
crowds all day from the foot of VaIen-
tine street out into midstream past the
Nashville and back again. No stop was
made at the Nashville owing to the
heavy f1eod current running.
AS the ferryboat was rounding the
Nashville and starting back to dock
the crowd on the upper deck rushed
to the steamers side and out upon the
hurricane roof. The strain was too
great and the roof collapsed, precipi-
tating large number of people twenty
feet to the deck below, which was also
crowded.
Panic Follows Fall.
Instantly panic ensued. Several
persons attempted to jump into the riv-
er thinking the boat was sinking.
Cooler heads prevented this and efforts
were at once begun to succor the in
jured
distress signal was blown from the
boats whistle and tugs hurried along
side, but it was deemed best to proceed
to land and not attempt to place the
injured on the tugs. Ambulances had
been hastily called and soon after the
Alonzo c. Church had reached shore
the injured were being conveyed to the
city hospital and many neighboring
homes.

Silver coins are getting scarce, according to the
annual report of the director of the mint Of the
silver bullion which the treasury bought under auth
ority of the so-called Sherman act of 1890 about
3321s,712 ounces remained at the beginning OF the
last fiscal year, and at the beginning Of the current
fiscal year17 ,5O29ss ounces. During the present
treasury year this bullion will have been exhausted
and there win be no provision for further coinage OF
subsidiary pieces unless congress takes the matter up
The silver dollar does not attain wide circulation.
It's place in the current of exchange is filed by the
silver certificate But more Of the coin is out at the
present time than ever before The coinage of these
dollars which upset the countrys equanimity in 1898
has been going on steadily since that time From
about $400, 100000 this element in the currency has
increased to $55O,OO0OO0 and, when the uncoined
bullion is utilized, win amount to much more. The
subsidiary coin, which amounted to $77OO0,OOO 10
years ago, is now about $105,0OO0O0 The amount
in actual circulation seems to be steadily pressing on
the supply The Hill administrative currency

A Portland lady recently attended meeting of the
Salem Woman's Club. Then she went back to Port
land and made the announcement that Salem women
have large feet Indeed she spent most of her time
while in the capiaal city looking for dainty feet
among the women and it has since been said that the
shoe stores Thoroughly alive to the needs of their
customers. do not keep smaller shoes than No 3.
The Salem Journal bitterly complains because Of this
attack It contends that Salem ladies are bitterly
opposed to the general feminine desire to cramp the
feet, and that if Salem shoes are larger than Port
land Shoes it is because they not so full of feet
1t is willing to back Salem feet against any other
feet in the world, and defes the Portland woman to
prove the slanderous statement. We trust the mat
ter viii be amicaby settled at an early date and that
there may be complete vndication of Salem feet.
