SAVES 5 in RIVER FLOOD
Ropes Thrown From Bridge Rescue
Occupants in House Boat Which
Was Caught in Ice Break.

Pittsburg, Pa.-Caught in a grind
ing and irresistible avalanche of rotten
ice, a houseboat, moored near Cora
polls, in Black river, branch of the
Ohio, was wrecked against the bridge
buttress.
Five occupants of the boat, Edward
Lassen, his wife and baby and two
male boarders, were catapulted from
their beds and rescued from the deb
ris by men who hauled them up 60
feet by rope to safety on the bridge.
When the boat was torn from its
mornings, awakening the occupants,
Mrs. Lassen grasped her baby and
ran on deck, screaming for help. Her
cries were heard by Edward Brown
and his sons, Philip and Joseph, who
ran to the Coropolis bridge with a
stout rope and lowered it to the
wrecked houseboat. Mrs. Lassen and
her baby first climbed up the rope,
with the assistance of the Browns,
and the three men were then drawn
up, one at time.

CHARLES F. JONES SAYS HE WILL
SETTLE MYSTERY OF MIL
LloNAIRE'S DEATH.
LONG SUPPOSED TO Be DEAD
Brother of Lawyer Who Escaped
Electric Chair is On Warm Trail
After Jones--Aopes to Induce
Him to Tell All.

Galveston, Texas.-Charles F. Jones
who was valet to William March Rice,
when the aged Texas millionaire was
murdered in New York September 30,
1900, returned to his home near this
city, few days ago.
Jones has been missing three years.
His death has been reported several
times, now in one place, again in
another.
Jones, whose testimony did most to
convict Albert T. Patrick, lawyer,
of Mr.. Rices murder, did not go to
his parents home,- but to a friends
house. Jones told his friend that he
was tired of being chased around the
world" that he had come home to
make a statement that wiz settle
the whole affair"
Jones did not say, in so many
words, what his statement will be,
but he left the impression on his
friends mind that it will be favorable
to Patrick, who, thanks to his own
legal acumen, saved his neck and
now seeks to end his life imprison-
ment in Sing Sing.
Detectives who have been watch
ing for Jones return, went after him,
but he could not be found. He was
seen in the streets of Galveston two
days ago.
Samuel Patrick, Albert's brother,
who has been doing detective work
for three years, arrived Wednesday.
He started at once for Cedar Bayou
on warm trail after Jones.
He said that he had heard direct
from Jones and had agreed to see
him alone and hear what he has to
say. If it is good news for Patrick,
every inducement viii be made to
get Jones to go to New York or to
make his statement under oath in
the presence Of witnesses.
1t is said the Rice heirs have spent
an immense sum keeping Jones away.
Jones admitted to his friends he has
wanted for nothing since returning
to Texas after the trial in New York.
There he testified that he admins
tered chloroform to Rice at Patrick's
order, and killed the old man.
John T. Milliken Of st. Louis, Pat
rick's wealthy brother-in-law, has
spent a great deal Of money trying
to run down Jones and procure a
statement from him.

Evansville, Ind.-With many of it's

At o'clock a fishboat in which
were three men and one woman
passed in the ice. They were waving
the flag of distress, and the boat was
unable to land. 1t was impossible to
go to their relief
A telephone message was sent to
Henderson, KY, twelve miles below
here, asking If arrangements could
not be made to let strong ropes down
from the Louisville and Nashville
bridge to rescue the imperiled ones.
1t is believed the three men and
the woman who passed here lost their
lives. After Henderson, KY, had been
notified men decided there to rescue
the occupants of the boat, which
passed Henderson later, but with the
occupants gone. 1t is believed they
have been drowned.
The steamer John R. Lowrey
passed Shelteville on it's way up the
river with freight and passengers.
There is no place into which the boat
can turn on this side of the Tennes-
see river.

Is it strange that Mexico, through its
representative, Senior Creel, should offer to
mediate between the United States and
Nicaragua during the present difficultyi
The numbering Of Cannon and Groce is
more or less similar to the policy of the
Mexican government toward some Ameri-
can citizens.
To suffer Imprisonment on trumped-up
charges, without trial for months and in
many cases years, in water-soaked, fever
laden dungeons, having ones miserable
life sustained with the vilest of food, is far
worse than a speedy death by execution.
