FIRE IN OCEAN STEAMER

When Blaze was Discovered, But
Manaqed to Reach Port in Safety
Damage Will be Heavy.
Publishers Press1

New Orleans, La, Nov. 1.-THE
steamship Custodian, of the Harrison
line, which sailed November Is for
Liverpool with cotton and lumber, re-
turned to port this afternoon with fire
raging in hatch No. 1. The vessel
was tied up at the Lafayette street
wharf and work was begun at once to
quench the flames. After several
hours work pouring steam into the
compartment the blaze was partially
smothered. The Custodian was 315
miles at sea when the fire was dis
covered. The vessel had on board
u ,021 bales of cotton, several million
feet of lumber and a miscellaneous
cargo of tallow and other supplies.
The damaged cargo is being removed
from the hatch. The loss will be

ture that surmounts the glass bulb.
Corners companions, Ben Shrader and
Ross Sherman, had started for the
stairway 10 ascend TO the upper floor,
when they were startled by a groan,
and turning. they saw Conner pros
trate upon the floor, the electric light
bulb still grasped in one of his hands
Shrader and Sherman, realized In
stantIy that he had been shocked.
Shrader Also Shocked.
Shrader, who reached the PROSTATE
man first, grabbed hold of the wire in
order to jerk the bulb from Conner S
hands, but the current through the
wire. knocked Shrader off his feet
sherman then took hold of the wire
in the hope that the bulb could be
drawn from the hands of the unco1-
scious man, and after two or three
tugs on the wire, succeeded in his pur-
pose
One of the men fastened to call
doctor, while the other worked over
the almost lifeless body of the pros
trate man. A physician soon arrived
but stated that Conner was beyond hui
man aid, death having ensued.
Heat and Power company arrived up
on the scene to find the source of the
trouble, it was found that the section
wire leading into the brewery had fal-
en- over a high tension interurban wire,
just west of the Main street railroad
bridge. The employees at the brewery
also stated that the wires hs1 been
burning for several hours, spasmod-
ically, and it seemed as though when
the wind blew very hard, the wire
came in contact and a brilliant blaze
was visible. 1t is supposed that Co
mer grasped the bulb just at the time
when the Wires of the Light, Heat and
Power Company came in contact
with the high tension wire of the in
terurban company.
Acting Coroner King, who went to
the brewery to investigate the case
had the body removed to the undertake
ing parlors of Doan e Klute, where an
examination of the body revealed that
the neck had been broken and the
head gashed. 1t is possible that the
electric current which passed through
Corners body was not of sufficient
strength to have caused death, though
of such force that it knocked Conner
violently to the floor, breaking his
neck. There has been no official YER
dict as to thesdirect cause of death,
rendered. however.
Conner leaves, besides his aged
mother. with whom he lived, three
daughters, two sons and three broth
ers.

to a Halt by the Action of the Secre-

Publishers PressI

Washington, Nov. 17-Secretary
Shaw. of the Treasury, asked the De-
partment of Justice to defer condem-
nation pre- ceilings TO secure the pro-
posed building in Pittsburg what is
known as the Armstrong site. His
reoFening of the matter was brought
abCut by several fiery kilograms from
CONGRESSMAN j. F. Burke, in which he
referred TO his high sense of public du-
ty and expressed the hope that a
sluare deal would be given his city.
Secretary Shaw warmly resented
the Congressman declarations that a
suitable hearing on the question of a
site had not been accorded, gave the
congressman the privilege of with
drawing language in a former tele-
= N in which the Secretary thought
ectionable and announced that
lie it was bad administration and
against his judgment, he would grant
further delay, since the request for
delay now comes from a congress-
man.

supreme court reversed the decision
of the lower court by which David E..
Sherrick, former auditor of state, was
sent to the penitentiary for an indie
terminate sentence of from two to IA
years, charged with embezzlement Of
state funds. The decision Of the court
orders a new trial Of the case.
