EXPLOSION ON
FERRYBOAT;; ONE

Steam Pipe Blows Out as the

BOAT HELPLESS IN RIVER.

One OF the steam pipes leading from
the Erie ferryboat Passaic burst with
. loud explosion at 80 A. NJ. to-day as
the boat was leaving the Pavonia slip
for Twenty third street, Manhattan.
Levi Wilson. assistant engineer. who
lived at No. 14 Chestnut street. Jersey
City, was so badly scalded by escaping
steam that he died later in St. Francis
Hospital For time the old Passa.c
drifted helplessly about in the river
while passengers tied life preservers
about their bodies, ready to leap into
the water in case the vessel went to
the bottom.
The Passaic Is one OF the oldest
boats in the Erie's service. She is used
when travel is light during the early
morning hours, in order to save model
boats for the heavier work.
The Passaic had just rounded her slip
when the explosion came. Engineer
JOnn foOyu was IluIItu dtTbSS lllt room
through an open door and escaped with
slight scalds. The assistant vas also
knocked down, and when he regained
his feet was blinded by the escaping
steam.
Wilson stumbled about the engine
room. unable to find his way to the door.
Boyd rushed in for him and carried him
20 the deck. where Wilson became IN
conscious.
The ferry boat Goshen, Capt. Nelson,
also of the Erie line. grazed the Passaic
as the latter was swung about by the
tide, and then Capt. Nelson sounded the
distress whistle. This brought the tug
Elmra. which came alongside the Pas
sale. just as the latter was washed
against some piing along the shore
front.
The damage to the Passaic was small
The boat was towed up to Weehawken,
another steam pipe was put in in place
OF the one that burst, and this after
noon she will be back in service.

Mr.. BRYAN LEAVING THE BOOTH AFTER CASTING HIS BALLOT.
Reade's Dramatic Failures.

1t was not until 1886, when Charles
Reade was forty-two, that he obtained
reputation as a novelist, a reputation
to which he did not aspire, for it was
his ambition to be Il draa stist. From
the beginning Of his career until the
last year of his life he wrote play aft
er play, every one of them u failure
and he alone refusing to believe 1t. He
attributed their want OF success to ev-
.eEy cause but the right me-, and he
went on squanderinS the money gained
from his more successful novels on
the production of bad plays. THE ac-
tors are buffers. sir" he would say,
who have deliled my composition,
mixed ditch water with my cham
payne, murdered my work" and he
would pour out maleGictions on the
heads Of all who had anything to do
with the unfortunate piece, from seen
ic artist to super, never c~onceiving
that he himself was the sole culprit.
And yet, as his novels show, he had
dramatic ability Of a high order and
could produce the most thrilling eff
fects and situations. He wrote two or
three dramas In collaboration with
Tom Taylor and Dion Boucicault that
had a brief success. but apart from
these he never wrote a play that met
with the slightest degree of popular

In the Taproot of an Oak.

l remember a curious incident con
nected with the taproot of an oak.
This oak, a good tree of perhaps 200
years growth. was being felled al
Brakeman wood when the woodmen
called attention to something peculiar
on the taproot. On clearing this of
soil we found that the object was a
horseshoe of ancient make. Obviously
in the beginning an acorn must have
fallen into the hollow of this cast
shoe. and as it grew through the slow
generations the root filled up the cir
Gle. carrying it down into the earth in
the process of it's increase till at
length we found wood and iron thus
strangely welded. That taproot with
