mass Is covered with more rockwell,

Such is the bake, which is served
dyaily at many resorts up and down and

fish with dressing, clam fritters, Irish

of luscious slices of watermelon. This
extensive menu, however, is only pos
sible late in the season.

EXPLOSION IN HOLD.
Kills One Man. Injuries 20 and Sets
Steamer on Fire.

Philadelphia, June 20.-One man Is
dead. another is missing and nearly
score Of others were injured by an
explosion on board the German steam
er Arcadia, which arrived here from
Hamburg. The dead man was negro
stevedore Of this city. Sixteen of the
injured were taken to hospitals. They
are suffering from burns and lacera-
lions and the physicians say they do
not expect that any will die
The majority of the injured are negro
stevedores. Some of them will lose
their limbs. The explosion occurred
in one of the holds of the steamer and
ing of an explosive nature in the cargo
and it is believed the accident was due
to gases that may have accumulated
while the holds were closed.
Sixty stevedores were put to work as
soon as the steamer was tied to her
dock at Washington avenue on the
Delaware river. All the holds we're OPP
ened and % men entered the forehold
to unload the cargo. Shortly after they
entered there was terrific explosion.
Some of the men were able TO chmo
out of the hold and others were rescued
by stevedores, who were working in
other parts of the steamer. Great diff
Guilty was experienced in getting the
men out because of fire which followed
the explosion The flames gained head
wav to such an extent that the rescu-
ers were driven out and one stevedore
was burned to death in the bottom OF
the hold.
An alarm of fire was turned In ana
when the firemen reached the steamer
they found the vessel almost entirely
enyeloped in flames. Quick work, how
ever saved the vessel from destruction
and the flames were soon under con-
troll The steamer nevertheless was
very seriously damaged.
The Arcadia is owned by the Ham
hurx- American company and is com
manded by Captain Schaarschmidt.
