YIELDS UP LIFE
Paul Mueller Drowned in Sylvan
Water by OVerturning Of
Skiff.
THREE COMPANIONS SAVED
Brother Had Close CaII-BOdy Re
covered by Searching
Party.

The lifeless form of Paul Mueller,
aged 20 years, son of MI and Mrs.
George Mueller, of Twenty-sixth street
and Sixth avenue, was taken from
above the Twenty-fourth street via
duct, at 3 o'clock this afternoon. His
brother, John, aged % years is at his
home almost lifeless, but will recover.
The two young men with their other
brother, Ed Mueller, aged Is years,
and Clarence Mcbride, aged 16 years,
had formed a fishing party at 1890
and embarked in a small Skiff at the
c., r. /. & p. railroad bridge They
were out in the river about 60 feet
when Mcbride suggested to Ed Muel-
Ter that he take Mueller's place at
the oars, to which Mueller consented.
and when Mcbride arose from the
middle seat, where he had been sitting,
and was going to the stern seat to ex-
change places with Ed, the other two
boys became nervous and the boat
careened, and partially capsized.
All of the boys, except Paul, the best
swimmer of the crowd, were dressed
only in trousers and shirt while Paul
wore a heavy coat, which accounts for
his losing his life.
The boat was soon under water. Ed
staying at the boat and turning it over,
climbed on top of it and succeeded
in staying in his perilous position until
he was resued by Fred Felt, and
Glen Rodes. employed on a boat of
the Davis company. who also rescued
Mcbride and John Mueller They
were unable to save the drowned boy,
who had gone under the third time
before they could reach him.
All Good Swimmers.
John and Paul were about 25 feet
apart and about a block from where
Ed was. All three brothers were good
swimmers but were capsized so sud
denly when they struck the river that
they strangled and were unable TO put
up a strong fight with the waves.
\ searching party was at once or
saniZed and a systematic effort begun
20 recover the body. At the end of
-hree hours the remains were located
and brought to the surface.

ed largely by the development of the
hour in which they arise to say Mr..

tends to make the st. Louis cOnven-
ton a thing of interest
The fight over the platform will Oc-
cupy all the conventions time Thurs
day in all probability, and Friday there
will come the presentation of the
names of candidates for the presiden-
tial nomination. This will afford an
other opportunity for an outpouring
of oratory in which men of national
prominence will participate.
VIII Ballot Friday
1t is impossible to say whether a
nomination will be made for president
on Friday, but there undoubtedly will
be some balloting on that day. If the
candidate for president is named Fri
day the nomination of a candidate for
vice president probably will go over
until Saturday.
There is likely to be a lively time
in settling the permanent organization
of the convention. Senator Bailey, of
Texas, who was slated for permanent
chairman some time ago, will not be
here, being detained in New York by
the serious illness of a son, who is in

Second Avenue Scene of Continuous

EXPLOSIVES ON CAR TRACES
Fun That Might Grow ScrIOus-HOvv
People are Spending the
Day.

To say that Rock Island did not cele-
brate the glorious Fourth would be
wrong, for there was plenty of noise,
decorations. and pyrotechnics. The
most noticeable place of celebration
was along Second avenue from Fif-
teenth and Eighteenth street. The
street car tracks between those points
was lined with torpedoes last evening
and today, and the earsplitting noise
produced when the cars passed over
and exploded the loud screamers
would indicate that the seat OF war
had been removed from the far east
to Rock Island.
The constant boOm-bang, ker-biff
along the track was enough 10 give
the strongly nerYed a Tacking head
ache. The cars were literally envcl-
oped in rising smoke, then would
emerge from the effects of one bonn

Small toTpedoes were placed on the
tracks last evening, but these did not
produce a report loud enough to suit
the young men who were enjoying
themselves in this style, and during
today they introduced ones that would
shake the car when exploded. This
is carrying fun 10 a point where it be
comes public menace, and the au-
thorities should interfere before some
one is hurt.
Besides this mode Of making it
known that the Fourth had come there
were to be seen and heard the usual
quota of revolvers loaded to the brim
with blank cartridges. the cannon
cracker, and the favorite cane with its
load of noiscmaking articles.

Little Hope for Others.
The only hope except for those
known to have escaped is that some
few of the emigrants might have been
washed up on the Larren rock. Their
chance of being rescued even then is
practically nil, for vessels sailing the
north Atlantic give Rockall as wide
berth as possible.
The news of this disaster, which it
is feared in its death record is greater
than any previous tragedy of the At
lantic, came with the arrival last
night of the steam trawler Saliva at
her home port, the quiet fishing town
of Grimsby. -.
The Saliva had been on fortnight's
cruise around the Hebrides By a
lucky chance she steamed further west
than is usual for Grimsby trawlers
and fell in with the survivors of the
Norge, who for "a hours had been
tossed about in a small boat on the
rough waters of the north Atlantic.
The survivors were taken aboard the
Saliva and were landed at Grimsby
last night.
