A Government Boat on the
Ohio River at Pittsburg
Blown Up.
GREAT HAVOC WROUGHT
TWO LABORERS AND THE SUPER.
INTENDENT OF GOVERNMENT
DAM WORK WERE INSTANTLY
KILLED.
Publishers PressJ

Pittsburg, Oct 13-With a defening
roar a boiler on the government boat
Slackwater exploded at 2:30 O'Clock,
this afternoon, completely wrecking
the craft and killing three men. Two
men are missing and six others were
badly injured. Great havoc was
wrought to Lock No. 4, near Ambridge
on the Ohio river, where the boat was
anchored. A large derrick boat lying
alongside the Slackwater was nearly
blown from the water and was badly
wrecked.
The Dead:
JOHN BRADY, laborer, 81 year old.
STEVEN SUTAL, 1aborer, 80 years
old.
ALFRED BISHOP, superintendent
of the government work at Dam No. f..
Of the injured, Clayton Morris, en-
gineer of the derrick boat, is in the
most serious condition, and probably
will die from scalds and bruises.
The missing are two negroes, whose
names could not be learned. Ii is be-
lieved that their bodies are at the
bottom of the river
The cause of the disaster has not
been officially announced, and the re-
sponsibility will probably not be fixed
until after the coroners inquest.
Without the slightest warning the
boiler suddenly let go with terrify-
ing report, and the boat was literally
torn into pieces. Huge fragments of
timber, iron and debris were hurled
incredible distances, and the human
victims are blown into the river.

Chicago. Oct 13.-Three games for

Champions turned the trick on the
West Side headliners. when they
whipped them suddenly today by
score of s TO g. The Sox batted like
fiends but fielded badly. Had they
been free from errors the Cubs count
would have been small indeed. On
the other hand, the Cubs fielded
through the terrible nine innings
without mistake but their hits were
too scarce Big Ed Walsh was in
grand form for six innings and with
better support would have sent the
Cubs batters out in hurry. How
ever. in the seventh inning it looked
as though he had blown up and Doc
White was rushed to the rescue in
hurry.
Overall Did Well.
The Sox handled the Cubs pitch
ers disgracefully. Ed. Ruelbach was
driven from the pitching hill in the
third inning after being swatted ter
ribly. Pfeister relieved him and in
the next inning he was also driven
to the timber. Big Overall then
came in from behind the club house
and finished the game with much Gre

1t was one of the slowest games
of the season. Two hours and forty
minutes were consumed in playing

Circulation
Yesterday
3,061

The circulation yesterday,
3O61 subscribers, is the largest
circulation the Palladium has
ever had. Furthermore it rep
resents a circulation increase of
over $50 per cent. in six and one
half months. The first of April
the PalIadium's circulation was
1853; the difference between
that number and the PalIa-
dium's present circulation be-
ing 1888. This is by far the
largest circulation increase any
Richmond newspaper has ever
enjoyed in so short a time and
is conclusive evidence of the
great and constantly growing
favor in which the Palladium
is held by the citizens of Rich
mond and Wayne County. We
have no hesitation in predicting
that on the first of April, 1907,
or just one year from the day
we first commenced canvassing
subscribers for the new PaIIa-
dunn, we will have the largest
circulation of any neWsIsaper
published in Richmond and
Wayne County.

BODY SENT EAST
FOR INTERMENT
The Funeral of Will Byram to
Take Place at MorristoWn,
New Jersey.
AN UNFORTUNATE CAREER
DESPITE MANY TRAITS OF CHAR
ACTER THAT WE'RE CiSCIkEO,
HE HAD MUCH THAT WAS
GOOD IN HIM.

The body of VIII Byram, whose
tragis death occurred Friday at mid
night while he was seated in Main
street restaurant, is now on its way
TO Morristown, n. j.. where funeral
services will be held on Tuesday and
where the interment also will be
made. George E. Voorhees,, of Nor
ristown, an uncle of Mr.. Byram, yes
terday te1egraphed to have the body
sent to that city by express.
Had Numerous Friends.
Byram's friends, who were very
numerous and who were very loyal to
him despite his unfortunate career,
were greatly saddened yesterday
when they learned of his death al
though they were we'll aware of the
fact that his physical condition for
long time had been such that his
death might be very sudden. Byram
day opportunities for acquiring know
ledge were exceptional. He was
schooled in the East and was gradu-
ated from the Poughkeepsie Military
Academy. One of Byram'S hobbies
was his great love of sports. In base
ball matters he was especially we'll
informed and he took an active in
terest in the management of the En-
tre Nous base ball club several years
ago at time when Billy Earle,
the globe trotter was captain of the
aggregation. Byram was an expert
scorer and it was his custom during
the days of Earle's team to provide
all of the local newspapers with the
official records of each contest.
Stamp Collector.
Another of Byram's hobbies was
the collection of postage stamps and
at one time he had collection that
was possibly one of the most COM
plete. comprehensive and costly in
this part of the country He was al
so an ardent fisherman and spent
much time each summer in Northern
Michigan.
Byram. unfortunately became dis
sipated early in life, his love for
strong drink probably being altogeth-
er responsible for his failure to make
his ability count in a worthy way.
For a long time, however, he was
free from his old habits and he be-
came highly popular and esteemed.
Several years ago he again fell by
the wayside, so to speak. He seemed
to thoroughly appreciate his condit-
ion. however. and spent much money
in taking treatment at various sana-
triums and retreats where victims of
the drug habit are treated Byram
had from $4,000 to $4,000 four or
five years ago, but being without
means to support himself he relied
upon his funds, entirely and this
drain, coupled with the money eN-
pended in long stays at sanatariums,
sources. For some months past he
had been cared for with funds pro-
vided by relatives in the East and
by local friends. Naturally Byram
was of kindly disposition and he
made friends that remained with
him. His life was unfortunately
spent and like many another of his
kind he was his own worst enemy
Despite the fact that there was much
in his life that did not endear him
to his acquaintances there were
other phases of his character that
we're quite the opposite and there
will be many persons who will cher
ssh a kindly memory for Will Byram. |

Tremendous crowds surrounded the

(hanging), and a mob departed for the
scene of the lynching with the declar

Thompson and Robinson were the
names of the negroes. The crimes
were committed upon Edna May Fow-

names were not given
Thompson was hanged as soon as
the body of Robinson had been strung
up. The hanging Of the negroes was
carried out quietly. The negro Thomp-

OF the men showed signs of fear, Rob-

TO BUY TICKETS.
effective NOVEMBER

Announcement has been made by
E. A. Ford, general traffic manager of
the Pennsylvania lines west, that on
Nov. l next the local passenger fares
in Indiana, West Virginia and Penn
| sylvania- would be reduced TO basis
of 212 cents mile, and that the pres
ent Interstate fares for through tick
cts would be reduced practically to
the sum of the new local fares in In
diana, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Ford also stated that new
''good-for-holder" 1000 mile ticket linn
tied to one year from date of sale,
with coupons to be honored on Penn
sylvania line trains in Indiana, Ohio.
West Virginia and Pennsylvania,
would be placed on sale at fat fare OF
$50. This ticket, he said, would be
available for two or more persons
travelling together.
The present interchangeable mile
age order, which is honored for ex.
change tickets, by all lines in Cen
trail Passenger Association territory,
Mr.. Ford says, will probably be con-
tinued on sale with the price reduced
10 S1o ana fe1und or so.
After Nov. l passengers on the
Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburg
who fail to purchase tickets before
boarding trains will find it expensive
carelessness. Copies of the com
pany's new tariff of train fares just
issued shows remarkable advance
in the price of a ride where a pas
senger pays fare to the conductor
For example, where the ticket fare is
$3.05, If paid on the train will be
S3.55, and where the ticket fare is
$5.05, If paid on the train will be
$3.50, and where a passenger could
have purchased a ticket for 81 he will
be compelled to pay 81 extra if he
pays his fare to the conductor The
new train tariff of the road is consid-
cred rather remarkable, as heretofore
it has been customary for the roads to
charge 10 cents when a passenger
paid his fare on the train. The new
train tariff does not apply, however,
to Ohio, but to all territory on lines |
west outside of that State. Nov |
the Pennsylvania will cease to sell |
round-trip tickets except at double the |
one way fare.
