ALL COT OFF SAFELY
Steamer Quincy Ran Ashore and was Burned Was Flying to Escapea a
 Myriad of Insects
c0L0RED R0UsTAB0ATs BUSY

La Crosse, Wis, July PA message from Trempealeau at 3:35 a. Ill. sent by the Burlington Railroad agent, says that everyone who was on board the steamer Quincy, which ran ashore and burned near there last night will be saved
 The desire of the officers of the Quincy to escape the myriad of insects which infested the vicinity of the searchlight when it was turned on, caused the accident. To escape the in- sects, the light was turned off and the pilot, in the dark, mistook landmark, and ran the boat aground
 For the purpose of rescuing about fifty people who are imprisoned on a swampy piece of ground which they cannot leave, the steamer Isaac Saples rafter, left La Crosse at a. m., to- day. It is 16 miles to the scene of the accident.
 Rescue work was effectively done by the c0lored roustabours of the craft when the Quincy ran ashore. When it became apparent that the boat would have to be abandoned, the steamer was forced upon the bank by the pow erful engines. the prow literally creep ing up the steep bank. Tied to a tree, the burning steamer was held while the roustab0uts took people off the stern in boats. Others jumped off in the dark, and 1t was not until half the people were off that the powerful searchlight was put in running order, throwing the scene in bright light.
 Some of the passengers rescued stayed at Trempealeau, some went to Winona, Minn, and others came to La Crosse.

 Savin Rock To-day.

New Haven, July 12.-The demo- cratic state central committee held a meeting at Savin Rock to-day. at the conclusion of the conference of the subcommittee appointed in Water bury last April on the proposed meas ure providing for direct primaries. This measure was submitted to the state committee by Henry c. Dissell of West Hartford and the sub-com- mittee is composed of one member from each county. The matter of direct primaries was gone over at length by the subcommittee. which was in executive session. It was un- derstood that whatever agreement was reached will be made known at the convention to be held in Septem- Der. Seventy representatives sat down to the banquet. which was held at 1.30. Several of the political workers tried to make canvass on the matter of preference for a guber- material candidate. One of these canyassers indicated that Mayor Thayer of Norwich was preferred by most of those who came from places outside of Fairfield county. It is ex- pected that Dean Rogers of the Yale law school will be invited to act as temporary chairman of. the conyen- tion in September.

BOTH WERE DROWNED
Gl of Seventeen and Woman Who was Her Fathers Housekeeper
 Found In Maumoe River.
MYSTERY SURROUNDS DEATHS

Chicago, July 12.-A dispatch to the Record-Herald frorv Toledo, O., says:
 Following the supposed suicide of 17-year-old Clara Strayner in the Maumee river Monday was the dis covery yesterday of the body of Katie Winover, housekeeper for the girls father, whom the daughter looked upon as step-mother, float ing in almost the same place as was the corpse of Miss Strayner when discovered. Mourpers returning found. the housekeeper's body.
 Lincoln Strayner, the girls father, is farmer, living near Grand Rapids, O., few miles up the Mau- mee. His wife died when the girl was babe in arms, and since that time Katie Winover has been the family housekeeper.
 On the river bank this note was found Monday:
 ''I am buried in the old Maumee. I am going to mother. Goodbye. Clara"
 A search then revealed the body. Tuesday there was found in almost the same spot note in an entirely different handwriting which read:
 Dear Papa: I want to bid you and all the friends goodbye. I ex- pect to go and live with mamma, for you know how I am treated by Katie. Your loving daughter, Clara"
 The two notes, which experts say were written by different persons, and the death of the Winover woman. who might have supplied the key to the mystery. are puzzling the police.
 The housekeeper disappeared Tues day night.

THE LAST DAY.
Papers on School Problems Were
 Read at Woolsey Hall.

neaO at WOOisey Hall.
 The Haven, July 12.-The final day of the convention of the American In. stitute of Instruction opened with a general session in WooIsey hall, the papers on school problems being pre-. ceded by musical program. There WIS considerable interest in the papers read during the session as several i'm. portant topics were brought before the convention by the three speakers Superintendent Walter H. Small .! the public schools of Providence read the first paper. his topic being .'The Problems of Rights at School" Super intendent Small divided his topic into three classes, the rights or the pub lie. the rights of the pupils and the rights of the teachers. defining each in an instructive manner.
 Superintendent Frank Fl. Beede of the local public schools spoke on the problem or the incorrigiOie boy and in speaking of the manner in which to treat the boy in school he said in part: First he may be placed in another room of corresponding grade where conditions may be different. Second it would be well to establish in every large building, in every building of twelve or more rooms. special room. which such boy may be placed. This need not be called bad room or an ''incorrigible room. but special room foral children who need special help or attention. No stigma need he attached to it. else its influence will be harmful on the school Third there should be in every large city. in connection with the school system. at least one diciplinary scnool for truants and incorrigible boys" Superintendent Beele believed in what Is known as corporal punishment in extreme cases.
 Finally Superintendent Beede said. Rightly trained the fncorrigible boy may be the very one. he often is, to lead In momentous political battles. 10 superintend gigantic commercial en- terprises. 10 build great railroads. to construct massive bridges and rear skywarl city blocks. What we call in- currigibie boys may afterwards be- come criminals: more often they grow up into respectable men and useful and public spirited citizens"
 The problem of the Backward Pu- pill was discussed by Andrew W. Ed son made several important sugges- tions. fin the handling of backward pu- plls.
 The various departments held ses- sions at the conclusion of the general session and among the speakers were the following: Secretary Charles ID.

Fighting the Ice Trust.

Hartford, July l2.-The legal bat tie of the state against the so called ice trust was resumed in the superior court to-day before Judge Robinson. Quo warranto proceedings were brought through Attorney General King, seeking the annulment of the charters of the three companies in- volyed. and the move of the defend ants to-day was the filing of de- murrer. This in substance alleges that the matter is not sufficient in law for the prosecution to maintain by any action and the respondent is not bound by law to answer the same. After an extended arguments the court granted the respondents per mission to withdraw the demurrer and this was done. Further plesdines will he made on July 20 and 1t looks as though the case will not be tried be- fore late in the fall.

LAWYER SUES LAWYER.
Attorney Bauby Wants Money Be-
 longing to Mrs Erk.

When lawyers have no one else to sue, 1t seems they sue one of them selves. Attorney Bauby has brought suit against Attorney Wood for $100 damages. Some time ago Attorney Wood brought suit for Mrs Matilda Erk against the Hellmann Brewing Go for $5.000 damages for the death of her husband, George Erk, whom she claimed was suffocated in one of the vaults of the company by char coal fumes. It seems there was a contract between Mrs Erk and At torney Wood that If she got judg- ment for the whole amount he was to receive one-third of 1t. and if for any less sum he was to receive one half. When judgment was given it was disappointment to both for 1t was for only $50 with costs. And according to the complaint in the present case Attorney Wood kept 1t all, whereas according to his agree ment he should have kept only $26. Such is the basis of Attorney Bauby's suit for Mrs Erk. The case is re- turnable to the city court.

There were thirty-four passengers on the omnibus, mainly merchants of Or pington (ten miles from London) and they were all either killed or in- jured. The omnibus dashed down the hill at a terrific speed and hit a tree. The occupants of the vehicle were pitched in all directions. Sev- eral of the killed were so terribly mangled that 1t was difficult to iden- tify them.
