St Louis, Mo, June 20.-The Majes-
tic, the largest excursion steamboat

of the new intake of the waterworks
tower near here at 1:33 this morning
and sank in ten minutes. OF 80 people

One man, Watchman Cuthbert of
Peoria, is missing The others have
been accounted for.
The accident occurred at the chain
of rocks, a natural formation of rocks
that starts from the Missouri side at
the extreme northern limits of st.
Louis, and runs 1000 feet into the
stream. offering barrier to navigation
around which steamers must pass. The
city intake tower is at the end os this
barrier.
The boat was owned by the Wisherd
line, Quincy, III. ALI on board were
members of the crew or of the ships
band. There was a momentary panic
as the vessel struck and the -Ieeping
crew and band tumbled frN,, their
berths and rushed to the upper deck.
The main deck caught fire, but tho
flames were extinguished when the
vessel listed. The vessel then righted
herself and sank

DirigibIe Ripped BY Bi-
plane During Austrian
Army Maneuvers.
ALIGHT ON A MOUNTAIN
Fire Follows Explosion of Big
BaII0n and Victims Are
Terribly MutiIated.

Vienna, Austria, June 20.-Nine
aviators were killed when mimic war
in the air suddenly turned into tragic
reality by the accidental ripping of a
dirigible airship by a biplane while
both were flying at great height during
Austrian army maneuvers. Both craft
were destroyed and the occupants, nine
military and naval and non-commis-
stoned officers, burned and mutilated
beyond recognition.
The Austrial army dirigible balloon
Koertling ascended at Fischamend, II
miles from Vienna, where there is
military aviation station. 1t was the
intention of Captain Hauswirth. COM
to take photographs of the
of troops below, then join
the maneuVers. An aeroplane started
a half hour later from the same spot.
1t was manned by Lieutenants Flatz
and Hoosta- The mosquito craft soon
overlook its big sister and immediate
ly began an attack.
At Height of 1900 Feet
After encircling the airship several
times at a height of 1900 feet the BIZ
planes pilot suddenly unanswered the
craft with the object of taking a posi-
ton directly above the airship. The
navigator evidently miscalculated the
distance or speed, for the nose OF the
oiplane was grazed enveloping the
ship and ripping 1t wide open. There
was terrific explosion of the dirig-
BILE, which took fire. The flames en-
quilted the biplane and i'm a few
moments the remnants of both crash
ID on the slopes OF the mountain with
he occupants.
The victims were Captain Haus- |
girth. Lieutenants Hofstetter. Flatz, |
