Published by The TRIBUNE PTELISHING COMPANY. VOL. XVI TO BREAK UP STRIKE Laborers are Imported From the South By Steel Trust. WATCHFUL SENTINELS ELUDED Special Train Load of Workers Smuggled In and Safely Landed at Monessen Mill By Trust Agents. A Pittsburg special says: A party of strike breakers brought up from the south by special train were safely delivered in the steel mill at Monessen early Sunday morning and the United States Steel Corporation expects to soon add that plant to the number running partly or in full with non-union men. The Carnegie properties also resumed Sunday night without a break in the forces operating them and that fact, joined with a promise of an early start at Monessen, loads the steel officials to take a very hopeful view of the situation. The strikers claim that men enough to start the Monessen mills cannot be obtained and that they have not yet shown their hand at Duquesne and other Carnegie plants. They promise that developments will indicate their strength to better advantage. It was anticipated that there would be trouble when the non-union men reached Monessen, for the strikers were watching the railroads and river and had expressed a determination to prevent the entrance of the striko breakers. The men who were handling the movement for the steel corporation successfully velled their action, however, and had their charges safely within the plant hours before it was known definitely by any one on the outside that the men had arrived. They were sent to Monessen by special train and were landed at 4 o'clock in the morning. It was not known how many men were in the party nor where they were obtained. The mills are guarded and the men will be kept on the premises until all danger of trouble ceases. Bunks for about fifty men have been erected and large quantities of food have been purchased for them. A fence has been thrown around the property and guard posted to keep out all intruders. The strikers will undoubtedly make an effort to induce the strike breakers to quit, and the fear is expressed that there will be trouble if any demonstration is made against the men or property. The situation there is regarded as very delicate. Strikers Win This One. A special from Milwaukee, Wis. says: The Bay View men will strike. The vote on President Shaffer's order is said to have been unanimous after a session of the lodge lasting five hours. The plant of the Illinois Steel Company at Bay View will be shut down indefinitely and about 1,400 men will be rendered idle. The above dispatch, supplemented by the wired announcement that the steel men in the Riverside plant at Wheeling had voted to strike, awakened new enthusiasm in the ranks of the Amalgamated association and its followers in Pittsburg. There had been some doubt as to the final decision of the Milwaukee lodges and it was feared that if their vote were adverse Jollet might reconsider its last vote and the chances of winning Chicago would be greatly reduced. The Milwaukee vote inspires them with the hope that Chicago may be prevailed upon to reconsider its vote and finally decide to come over to the strikers. TEDDY COMING SOUTH. Vice President Will Tarry Briefly at Atlanta, Macon and Augusta Atlanta, Macon and Augusta. A New York dispatch says: Vico President Roosevelt will stop over at Atlanta, Macon and Augusta, Ga., on his return trip from Tuskegee, Ala., where he goes on invitation of Booker Washington. He will make appeaches in the places he visits. TRUST GETS BETHLEHEM WORKS Option Held By Schwab Passes Into Hands of Big Corporation. It was indefinitely learned at New York Monday that the control of the Bethlehem Steel Company is no longer in the hands of Charles M. Schwab, president of the United Steel Corporation. Mr. Schwab, it was authoritatively stated, has allowed his interest in the Bethlehem Steel Company to pass into the hands of a syndicate identified with the United States Steel Corporation, the manager of which is the banking house of J. Pierpont Morgan & Co. The Savannah Tribune. SIXTY-SEVEN KNOWN DEAD. Further Details of Steamship Islander Disaster and Consequent Frightful Loss of Life. The steamer Queen arrived at Port Townsend, Wash., Monday from the north, bringing details of the wreck of the steamer Islander, which proves to be one of the most appalling marine disasters on the Pacific coast. The steamer sailed from Skagway August 14, and when nearing the southwest end of Douglas Island at 2 a. m. August 15, running at full speed, struck a floating iceberg and in less than twenty minutes went to the bottom of the deep channel, carrying men, women and children to watery graves. The Islander had 108 passengers and all were in bed when the vessel struck. The shock was so severe that many were thrown from their berths and the wildest excitement prevailed. Word was soon passed that the vessel was doomed and a general scramble for the lifeboats ensued, many jumping overboard and attempting to swim for the shore, the distance being short. In the scramble to get into the boats many were hurled headlong into the chilly water, which, according to passengers arriving from the scene, seemed alive with human beings. Before all the passengers had left the vessel gave a lunge and went down, bow first. It is known that sixty-seven lives were lost. It will be some time before their names can be definitely learned, as the purser lost his passenger list. Story of Survivors. United States Consul Smith, of Victoria, who was a passenger on the Queen from Juncau to Victoria, gleaned the following story of the wreck from among the forty survivors who were passengers on the Queen: "The Islander left Skagway for Victoria Wednesday evening with 108 passengers and a crew of sixty-one men on board and ten or twelve stowaways. All went well until 3 o'clock Thursday morning, when the south end of Douglas island was reached. Then suddenly the steamer encountered an obstruction, said to have been an iceberg, and stopped with a jar which aroused many of the sleeping passengers. "Captain Foote was having breakfast and the pilot notified him of the trouble. When the vessel struck, the water rushed in forward in great volumes, and the pilot advised that the vessel he run on the beach, not over half a mile distant, at once. To this the captain objected, saying the beach was too abrupt. He thought there was no immediate danger, but would run a few miles further down, where he knew there was a good landing. "The captain assured several passengers there was no immediate danger, and that they could go back to bed, and sent the first officer down to examine. That officer reported there was great danger, and urged that the vessel be beached at once. The first officer ordered the boats let down, but this order was countermanded by the captain who, however, finally realized the seriousness of the situation and allowed the first officer to get down the boats. "Meanwhile, the passengers, aroused to their peril, appeared on deck and a rush was made to the purser, who had been given much treasure for safe keeping. Purser Bishop handed all out except two bags of $10,000 each, which were not claimed and which went down with the vessel. The bow of the steamer steadily sunk and twenty minutes later propeller and rudder were high in the air and useless, but the captain remained on the bridge until the last and finally jumped on a life raft. When the steamer went under an explosion occurred. The captain lost his hold on the raft and went under." All the rescued speak in high terms of the courage and assistance given by Chief Engineer Brownlee and First Officer Neurotsos, who saved several lives. Storm Damages Batteries. The war department has been informed that the damages to the batteries at Fort Morgan, below Mobile, Ala. from the recent storm are very extensive. . OIL IN TENNESSEE. Prospector Reports a Find and Much Excitement Follows In Consequence. Some little excitement has been occasioned by the reported finding of coal oil at Athens, Tenn. A prospector claims to have discovered the existence of coal oil and gas in several places. Samples of different strata have been analyzed and pronounced good. Oil in an ordeal state, he says, is contained in a peculiar slate, intermixed with black diamonds or prisms, and, when broken, all the cavities are filled with oil. RUSH ORDERS GIVEN Uncle Sam Hurrying Battleships To Isthmus of Panama. TO PROTECT .INTERESTS THERE Local Quarrel Between Venezuela and Colombia May Finally Develop an International Wrangle. A Washington special says: A telegram has been prepared at the navy department to go forward to the Iowa immediately upon her arrival at San Francisco, ordering her to prepare at once to go to sea. When she advises the department that she is already an order will follow for her to proceed at once to Panama. The little cruiser Ranger, which is at San Diego, Cal., was ordered to sail Friday. It is not believed that there will be any delay in her departure, as she has had several days' notice in which to prepare for sea. She is very slow, however, making not more than six knots, and as the distance to Panama is about 2,700 miles, it would require almost fifteen days for her to reach her destination. The department, therefore, decided to dispatch the Iowa as soon as the battleship arrives at San Francisco and can prepare for the trip. The state department issued the following Friday: "The department of state is advised by a telegram from Mr. Russell, charge d'affaires in Venezuela, that the departure of the Colombian minister from Caracas was voluntary and that he has the intention of returning to his post. Mr. Russell has taken charge of the Colombian legation property, and archives during the minister's absence. Mr. Russell does not state that he has assumed charge of Colombian interests, as he was authorized to do if requested and with the assent of the Venezuelan government. It is inferred that he has not been asked to do so." Land Grabbing Feared. Le Matin (Paris) discussing the South American situation, says: "It is in its possible consequence that the almost dramatic interest of the Venezuelan and Colombian conflict lies. It is this that ought to fix the interest of the public on this operetta war. Venezuela is not on the eve of war with Colombia; it is on the eve of war with the United States. It is not impossible that the whole Venezuelan-Colombia affair will end by a bit of land-grabbing and that here and there territory will be taken that will teach President Castro that it is dangerous to attack the United States and will teach Colombia that it is dangerous to get it to defend them." The London papers discuss the quarrel between Venezuela and Colombia. The Spectator thinks that "American interference will have grave results," and that it is not impossible that the United States will occupy Panama; but it can see no reason why Great Britain should oppose such a course. The Saturday Review, which takes the usual strong stands, says: "The time will come when the outrageous Monroe doctrine will produce a deadlock between the European and American governments. Neither Germany, Spain, France nor Great Britain will surrender legitimate claims to expansion in South America." STEEL TRUST HOLDS OPTION. Bethlehem Iron Works Will Soon Be In Control of Schwab. At a meeting of the stockholders of the Bethlehem Steel Company at Philadelphia Friday it was decided to ratify the purchase of the Bethlehem Iron Company and issue $7,500,000 of bonds, the purchase price of the iron company. It was authoritatively announced that within ten days the control of the Bethlehem Steel Company and the Bethlehem Iron Company will be assumed by President Schwab, of the United States Steel Corporation. MOSQUITO STING FATAL Surgeon Havard at Havana Will Discontinue Yellow Fever Tests. Continue Yellow Fever Tests. Chief Surgeon Havard, at Havana, announced Sunday that the experiments in the investigation of the propagation of yellow fever, so far as these involved the mosquito test will be dis continued. This decision was taken because one of the non-immunes who was recently bitten by an infected mosquito died of yellow fever. The man was a Spaniard who desired to become an immune. Another man who was bitten is also suffering from a very bad case. CULPRIT SLOWLY ROASTED. Enraged Texans Prolong the Death Agony of Negro Rapist and Murderer of White Woman. A dispatch received in Dallas Tuesday night from Whitesboro, Texas, was to the effect that a negro, Abe Wilder, charged with assaulting and murdering Mrs. Caldwell, the wife of a Grayson county farmer, at her home on Saturday last, was captured by a mob and burned at Nelson's ranch, two and a half miles east of Red ranch. The mob was composed of 300 men. The negro was taken to a tree and strung up in the air. Wood was piled beneath his body and a hot fire was made. Then it was suggested that the man ought not to be permitted to die too quickly, and he was let down to the ground, while a party went to Dexter, about two miles distant, to procure coal oil. This was thrown on the flames and the work completed. Wilder was captured near Dexter about 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. It is said that it was the intention of the mob to take him back to the scene of his crime and there lynch him, but message by telegraph and telephone gave warning that the authorities were hastily repairing to the scene with a considerable force, and the work of execution was expedited. At Whitesboro a great crowd had gathered in anticipation of a chance to participate in the lynching, and when it was learned that the work had been done, they expressed great disappointment. Mrs. Caldwell was a bride of but six months. Dexter is far removed from railroads, there are no telegraph facilities, and it will be some time before all the details of the lynching can be made known. MR. KNOX "KNOWS NOTHING." Attorney General Gives Cold Comfort to Inquiring Enemies of the Trusts. Attorney General Knox sent a lengthy letter to the joint committee of the American Anti-Trust League and district assembly 66 Knights of Labor, in reply to one from the committee requesting information from Mr. Knox regarding the United States Steel Corporation. In part the attorney general says: "Primarily, permit me to say that your request is founded upon an erroneous assumption. I do not know who the individuals are who organized the United States Steel Corporation. If they are the persons personally mentioned in the newspapers as the promoters of that organization, with the single exception of Mr. C. M. Schwab, I do not know, never saw and never was in any way connected with any of them. I never heard of any agreement between them and the constituent members of the steel corporation. Neither at the time of the formation of the United States Steel Corporation nor at any time was I officially connected with the Carnegie Steel Company. I was formerly one of its legal advisers in the conduct of its manufacturing business, but was never consulted with reference to the formation of the United States Steel Corporation, nor in relation to the sale to that company of the shares of stock held by the stockholders of the Carnegie Company. "I may say, moreover, that I have no access to the agreement or papers to which you refer. I know nothing of the one to which you especially refer, and do not even know that such an agreement is in existence. The information which you request is not in my possession, or 'conveniently at hand,' as you assume, and it is therefore impossible for me to comply with any requests set forth in your letter." Adjourned For a Week. The Alabama constitutional convention has taken a recess till August 28, at which time it is calculated that the committee on harmony will be ready with the constitution as a whole and that it can be finished in four days and final adjournment had. SCHLEY CONFERS WITH COUNSEL Admiral and His Wife to Remain In Washington Pending Inquiry. Admiral Schley arrived in Washington with his wife Thursday night to remain until the court of inquiry which is to investigate the Santiago campaign completes its work.

SIXTEEN LIVES REPORTED LOST IN-Fated Vossel Was the Golconda, Plying Between Paducah, Ky, And Elizabethton, Ill.—Details of Disaster Meagre. 4 The steamer City of Golconda, plying between Paducah, Ky., and Elizabethtown, Ill., was struck by a squall during a storm about 7 o'clock Monday night as she was en route to Paducah. She turned over in 10 feet of water, six miles above the city, as she was going into Crowells landing. Sixteen persons are reported drowned, the disaster occurred as supper was served, and many of the seventy-five persons were in the cabin. The wind struck the boat without warning and there was no time for those on the inside to escape. Captain Jesse Bauer and Pilot E. E. Peck were the last to leave the boat and swam to shore. They saved several persons struggling in the water and left the survivors in a house near the bank and came to the city. Captain Bauer, who arrived in Paducah two hours after the catastrophe, said: "The boat was getting ready to land when the squall struck her and she listed. Several passengers, who were inside, jumped overboard and were caught by the boat. The ladies, all of whom were in the cabin, could not be reached. The boat settled down in ten feet of water over a reef and two of the men who were in the cabin—H. E. Worten and N. S. Quartermouse, of Hampton—broke through the glass and were saved. Three colored deck hands saved a woman and child, and I think she was the only woman saved. A yawl that had broken loose was caught by some of those struggling in the water and taken to the bank. We returned to the boat on this, but could find no signs of life, and returned to shore." The boat was valued at about $2,500 and had been in the trade for several years. There was no way to determine the number of dead and their names until the boat's books should be found. Captain Peck places the number at sixteen. The Mary N. left soon after the survivors reached the city for the scene. She returned at 11:30 o'clock Monday night with those saved. They report that ten women were drowned and the total number of those who perished will reach seventeen or twenty. None of the bodies were recovered Monday night, as the rescuers could not get into the cabin. * WILC CHALLENGE HOWISON. Schleiy's Attorneys to Investigate a Member of Industry Court. Member of Inquiry Court. The navy department has decided that the Schley court of inquiry shall be held in the gunners' work shop at the navy yard. The work shop is a large, new building and well adapted to meet the requirements of the court. Judge Jere Wilson and Hon. Isadore Raynor, counsel for Rear Admiral Schley, called on Acting Secretary of the Navy Hackett Monday and made inquiries regarding the department's list of witnesses. During their conference Messrs. Raynor and Wilson advised Hackett that a communication would be sent him relative to certain statements reported to have been made by Rear Admiral Howison, a member of the court of inquiry, in regard to the Schley-Sampson controversy. The letter to Secretary Hackett will inclose copies of interviews purporting to have come from Admiral Howison, stating among other things, that the battle of Santiago was won by Sampson; that the latter's presence was unnecessary at that fight; that Schley deserved no credit for the victory, and that between the two officers Sampson is the better one. Mr. Hackett is requested to forward this communication to Admiral Howison for his consideration, and a copy of that officer's reply to the department is asked for. GEORGIA'S TAX RETURNS.

If the world is a drama, then act your part. STRIVE to help yourself and others will help you. No one knows as much about a woman as another woman. The greatest objection to most of our societies, e.c., is that one will have to die to win. Never worry yourselves about the troubles of to-morrow, "sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." If one could only stop long enough to reflect, many of the wrongs that are committed would be averted. THE man who gets the most out of life is not the man who lives the fastest, but the one who makes the most out of his opportunities. IF our benevolent institutions would spend less money for funerals and give to the widows and children more benefit, they would come nearer helping mankind. IT is heart rendering to scan the daily papers and see how our people are being murdered, burned and lynched all over this land. We are made to wonder what the end will be. If you cannot handle other people's money without misappropriating it, the better thing to do is not to handle the tempting stuff. Many a man has lost his standing for life by being placed in a position to handle funds that were not his, and while he did not mean to act dishonestly, yet the handling of the same has brought him to grief. In a certain city not long since, a street car company became dissatisfied with its male conductors and discharged them, placing women in their stead, with the idea that the prononage would be better. At first crowds of people were attracted and the receipts were increased, but soon the unusual conductors showed a partiality to their male patrons and now the company is "sorry that it spoke." On last Saturday a white man named Walter J. Healy drowned a colored boy in the DesPlaines river. The lad was sitting on the bank watching some folks in bathing, when a man named McCarthy pushed him into the river. Healy, who was in the water caught hold of the boy and carried him out in the deep water, while the boy clung to him and screamed for help. Finally the man broke the childs hold and left him to drown. Healy is held by the grand jury. Nor long ago, says the Conservator, "a white man undertook to make a monkey of Frank W. Wilson by making him dance. Wilson refuse to act a monkey when the white man started to beat him with the butt end of a whip. Wilson defended himself with a revolver, and the white man was taken to a hospital, where he afterwards died. Wilson was then indicted for murder. He will be defended by lawyer Elliott. Too many of our people, especially our young people are being used to "cut the tool" for the enjoyment of the other race, especially when it comes to cake walking, buck dancing, pie-eating etc. If they wish to engage in this kind of sport, let them do so for their own audiences and not for the race who is supposed to be above such amusements. Slandering is a growing evil that should be surprised. Many a man and woman is wilfully slandered with no foundation of truth, and persons engaged in such should be known and publicly denounced by all those who have any regard for character. A person that maliciously speaks ill of another should be held to an account. To deprieve one of his or her good name, is to take from them that which is priceless. No people can be respected that tolerates lying, evil speaking and slanderous tongue. We are for the truth and what can be proven, and not so much of this hear say "business." It is high time to learn not to seek to do evil but to do good. A people that profess religion should be above such unchristian habits. Let us always be mindful of ones reputation and endeavor to assist them to maintain the same. This is our Christian duty, and as a people we should strive to exercise it in such a way that will set aside the slanderer and his desire to injure society and the church-Charleston Messenger. There are many people in this country who know how to appraise a debt not known to Charleston—its location, its people, the business carried on, the number of inhabitants and so on and so on. Indeed Charleston and the whole state of South Carolina have of late fallen into disrepute with thousand of debtors, positions they hold, quite unfortunate because of the radical and inconsiderate utterances of men who stand high in political circles, men who are supposed to represent the men from whom something better might be expected, conquered positions they hold, quite unfortunate because of the radical and inconsiderate utterances of men who are trying to focus the eyes of the American Continent on this state and city by having a great exposition to show forth the progress and possibilities of the South in say, extremely unfortunate that South Carolina is made to be mould by reason of the ugly expressions and narrowness of high public officials. I do not speak nor can I for the whole state of South Carolina, but in so far as Charleston itself is concerned that South Carolina is made to be mould by reason of the ugly expressions and narrowness of high public officials. There is a kindly interest taken in the Negro population here that is wanting in most Southern cities. Commercially the city has been slowly decaying for more than fifteen years, 1858 or so, the pora of New York, Charleston numbered third in extent and volume of its export trade. During almost any year between 1870 and 1880 the value of its exports from this harbor was over one hundred million dollars. In 1901, sad to relate, to this immense trade, the city was the third in volume of its million dollars. To walk along the river front and see so many disused piers slowly crumbling into ruins is enough to knock considerable pride and conceit out of the true Charlestonian. It is hoped, and no doubt will partially restore the former commercial prosperity. The new United States Naval Station will also, it is thought assist the commercial interests to again get on a firm basis. If any two things can be considered important for trade conitions, an exposition and a naval station are just what Charleston has been looking for these many years. Under the caption "Stirring up Trouble" The News and Courrier *Chaucer*'s leading white daily, had an editorial on the twenty-first annual meeting of the Afro-American Press Association which met recently among other the editorial and other addresses were very violent, notably that made by W. A. Pledge, of Atlanta and that made by T. Thomas Fortune of New York: Pledge believed in transmigration of souls, and declared that it "will not be long I believe I will live to see the day being deriding through the streets of Atlanta, Ga., in the body of a "suck-egg" dog, with no one to throw him a crumb to cat. Fortune said: "I don't want any more "good niggers" I want bad niggers. It is the bad nigger with a winchester, who can defend his house. The editorial then speaks in commendable terms of the Rev. H. C. Astwood's speech which was more conservative than those of Messrs Fortune and Pledge. It closes as follows: "The white people of the South will not be frightened by the utterances of such men well that are a good many men in this part of the country who are rather handy with Winchester rifles, and they ought to know by this time that they who take the sword shall perish by the sword. If all leaders of the colored people would follow men and Carroll the races in the South would dwell together as close unity as the almighty intended they should" We don't know how "close unity" the Editor thinks the Almighty intended they should be, but we know that the intemperate language of men like Mr. Fortune and Mr. Pledger is about as bad as that of Senator Tallman. It is the intention of the Negro Department to have a concert on exhibition in the Negro Bui ding all the musical compositions of the race and also a news stand at which all the race journal will be sold. This news stand will serve the double purpose of exhibiting Negro as having returns to their publishers. The local happenings in Charleston for the past week have been many. We mention only a few of them Mr. J. M. Barber, a student of Benedict College, delivered an able address to the B. Y. P. U. at Central Baptist Church last Sunday. Rev. E. T. Anderson is still working in the interim of the Trust Reforms of Bishops Va. He is meeting with success. The corner stone of an A. M. E. church across the river from the city was laid on Sunday. Dr. N. B. Steret officiated and Rev. O. J. Robinson preached the sermon, Mrs. J. B. Ramsey, of Tuskegee Ala. was here recently for a few days on a visit. Miss Constance Morrison the very efficient stenographer for the Negro Department has been working to be out again. The numerous entertainments being given for the benefit of the Negro Department have all been successful. Education is the Method. Hawkinsville, Ga, Aug. 16, 1901 DEAR EDITOR: Please allow space in your valuable paper to publish the following: Perhaps the most interesting topic of to-day, and the one that has caused tears to run down the cheeks until they have moved the lachrymal bone from their original standpoint, and has given instant palpitation of the heart which has caused the veins, arteries, and capillary to over-flow with the precious stream of life, is the "Negro Problem." While being a student in Talladega College for the past three years, and having free admission to her valuable library, I have made it my business to notice the discussion of the subject north, south, east, and west with interest. A goodly number of things have been said which are encouraging to the race; while scores have been said that are detrimental to prosperity. The leading division of the subject seems to be education. Does education make the Negro a loyal citizen, or does it fit him for a degraded life? Quite a number of our southern friends—I am sorry to say—claim that education does the Negro no good, and is therefore detrimental to his white brother. But I feel safe in saying the majority knows and has decided rightly that education is the only method by which the Negro must climb to the top of the ladder! let his occupation be what it will or may! If the Negro ever must reach the topmost round of success and show to the world that color has nothing to do with the make of a great man, I honestly do believe that he must have higher education. While the subject has been dis- cussed in various ways, and many hard things have been said of us, aby our white brother, I think we should be encouraged instead of being discouraged; the very fact that the subject has been on program for so many years and is still the leading topic of to-day proves to us that we are well thought of. When we see and read of the cruel treatment our race receives from the whites, we feel that our chance is but small; but we should remember that he who speaks evil of the race as a whole, is a somnambulist; that while southern states are working to disfranchise the Negro, God has a hand in the battle and will work for the good of his people. We must remember that we are a part of Christ's disciples, and while He was on earth that his prayer was: "I pray that thou wouldst not take them put of this world," and to-day His intercession is, "I pray that thou wouldst not take the black sons and daughters of Ham from America, but that thou wouldst make them educated and law-abiding citizens.

Plant, vice-president of the Plant Investment Company, owners of the fine steamship La Grande Duchess, to run that steamship as an excursion boat to the International Yacht Races, beginning September 21st and each alternate week day until one of the contestants has won three races. It will be remembered by many of our readers that La Grande Duchess was under the same management two years ago, and that there was no excursion ship that gave better satisfaction to her patrons. This ship is only six years old and was built expressly to carry passengers on an ocean route. She is 5,000 tons, and is constructed entirely of steel, including houses and decks; has a double bottom, is water balasted, has twin screws, and a speed of twenty miles per hour. La Grande Duchess's accommodations are spacious and elegant, two entire decks being fitted up for passengers. She has two large saloons, three social halls, a ladies' observation parlor on the upper deck, and 152 spacious staterooms. A first-class caterer will be provided and everything possible done for the comfort of guests. Tickets and staterooms will be reserved upon application to J. J. Farnsworth, Eastern Passenger Agent, Plant System, 200 Broadway, New York (Telephone 1870, Franklin.) The Larchmont Yacht Club and the Montank Club of Brooklyn have already engaged quarters for the series of races on this ship. TOO SHORT FOR HEADS. Local Hapenings Terscly Told.

He has now broaden his business by opening a first class grocery store at the corner of Perry and Guilford streets, where he has a full line of groceries, etc. We have but few men in business in our city, and when one opens up a business-place the mass should fall in line and give their support.

The murder, from the intelgence receiv- ed up to this writing, seems to have been unprovoked, as there was no words between the parties. It seems that in passing on the sidewalk the man and boy came in contact with each other, and Williams claims that Green put his hand in his back pock- et, and that is abont the only reason he can give for the shooting. After being shot the boy ran on the s:oop of Dr. J. Walter Williams’ office, but expired inf a few moments. It is stated that a woman was an eye- witness to the eollision, and the of- ficers are searching for her. Wil- liams states that he is from AJbany, | Ga. and is a fireman on the S. A.

Mere Than Two-Score Steamer Passengers are Consigned. VESSEL WRECKED BY ICEBERG Boiler Exploded as Splintered Wreck Went Down, Killing Many That Might Have The steamer Islander, the crack passenger steamer of the Alaskan route, operated by the Canadian Pacific Navigation Company, of Victoria, British Columbia, struck an iceberg off Douglas island at 2 o'clock on the morning of Thursday last and went to pieces, carrying down from sixty-five to eighty souls, including passengers and members of the crew. Some of the survivors arrived at Victoria Sunday evening by the steamer Queen. They report that as the vessel went down her boiler exploded, causing the death of many who might have escaped. Captain Foote was on the bridge when the vessel struck and stayed there and went down with his steamer. There was $275,000 in gold on the steamer, $100,000 of which was carried by passengers. H. H. Hart, who has spent sixteen years in Klondike, lost $55,000 in dust. No accurate list of the dead will be had until the arrival of the purser on the steamer Farralton. George McL. Brown, executive agent of the Canadian Pacific railroad, after interviewing the officers and passengers who returned, said: "The purser is remaining in the north attending to the forwarding of through passengers. It is impossible to give an accurate list of those lost, but the fact that 113 were saved, the number lost must be very much below the figures mentioned. In my opinion the loss of life will not exceed twenty." PRINTERS FINISH LABOR8. International Typographical Union Adourns at Birmingham, Ala. The forty-seventh annual convention of the International Typographical union came to an end at Birmingham. Ala., Saturday morning, adjournment being taken to meet next year in Cincinnati. An amendment to the constitution was adopted by which the plurality rule will hereafter apply in the election of the president and secretary-treasurer, the same as to the other international officers. The majority rule has heretofore prevailed. A proposition to levy a special assessment for label agitation was adopted, as was also a proposition to make machine tenders' assistants members of the union. The latter prevailed over the adverse report of the laws committee. A proposition excluding the testimony of non-union printers when union man is on trial also carried. PILOT BOAT RUN DOWN.

The accident occurred, near the Scotland lightship while the pilot boat was lying hove to on Sandy Hook bar about ten miles cast of Sandy Hook. The survivors say the whole thing happened so quickly that they were floating in the water before they realized what had happened. The big steamer cut the pilot boat completely in two.

YOUNG WHITE GIRL MURDERED With Gun and Torch the Colored Population of Pierce City Are Driven Out Never At Pierce City Mo., Monday, Will Godley and Gene Carter, negrpes, were lynched by a mob composed of 1,000 armed citizens for the murder of Miss Gaelle Wild, whose dead body was found during the day in the woods near the town. The mob went to the jail about 9 o'clock and battered down the doors and threw ropes around the necks of Godley and Carter, another suspect. Godley was hanged in front of the Lawrence hotel and his body riddled with bullets. Carter's guilt was not clearly established, and he was taken back to the jail, but was subsequently taken out and shot. It appears that the negro assaulted the girl Sunday while she was returning from Sunday school and later cut her throat with a razor. The crime was committed at the 'Frisco railway bridge, half mile from the station. The girl was crossing the bridge when the negro, who had been sitting on the rail, attacked her. A farmer in an adjoining field witnessed the assault, but hearing no outcry, did not interfere. Later, when the negro was seen running down the track, he gave the alarm and joined in the chase. The girl's body was found lying in the woods under the bridge. Carter confessed that he knew who committed the crime, and charged Joe Clark, a railroad porter, who was away on his run, with being the real culprit. Godley, the first negro lynched, had served a sentence in the penitentiary for outraging a woman 60 years of age. The feeling against the negroes is intense. Twenty-five men armed with guns gathered in the negro district and began firing indiscriminately. After Godley was strung up there was much shooting at the body, and a small boy was killed and several persons wounded by the promiscuous firing of the mob. Driving Negroes From Town. Further advices from Pierce City state that for nearly fifteen hours, ending about noon Tuesday the town was in the hands of a mob of armed whites, determined to drive every negro from its precincts. In addition to the lynching Monday night of Will Godley, accused of the wanton murder of Miss Gazelle Wild, and the shooting to death of his grandfather, French Godley, an aged negro, in his home, set the torch to the house of five blacks and with the aid of the state militia rifles, stolen from the local company's arsenal, drove dozens of nogroes from the town. After noon the excitement died down, the mob gradually dispersing, more from the lack of negroes upon which to wreak their hatred than for any other cause. Many of the negroes who fled the city are hiding in the surrounding woods, while others have gone greater distances in seeking safety. Every negro has left the town except a few railway porters known to be respectable, but who must also leave. The citizens of Pierce City say that as negroes have committed several such crimes in the last ten years, none shall live there in the future, the same feeling already existing at Monnett, four miles east of Pierce City, and the end of the Frisco passenger division. It may be necessary for the road to change all porters in Springfield hereafter. It is now believed that the man, Will Godley, who was lynched, was not the real culprit. A negro named Starks, under arrest at Ulsa, I. T., just across the border from Pierce City, tallies exactly with the description of the murderer. FIGHTING BOERS ARE FEW. They Are Enough, However, to Make It Interesting For Tommy Atkins. In a dispatch just received in London dated July 8, and detailing the condition of affairs at the front at that time, Lord Kitchener says: "There are no more than 12,500 Roers under arms. Although they are not able longer to undertake extensive operations, their apparently inexhaustible supplies of food enable them to maintain an obstinate resistance without retaining anything or defending the smallest portion of this vast country."

THEY SHOOT WHERE YOU HOLD ALWAYS ASK FOR THEM Culicura SOAP MEDICINAL TOILET Millions of Mothers USE CUTICURA SOAP, assisted by Cuticura Ointment, the great skin cure, for preserving, purifying, and beautifying the skin of infants and children, for rashes, itchings, and chafings, for cleansing the scalp of crusts, scales, and dandruff, and the stopping of falling hair, for softening, whitening, and soothing red, rough, and sore hands, and for all the purposes of the toilet, bath, and nursery. Millions of Women use Cuticura Soap in the form of baths for annoying irritations, inflammations, and excoriations, for too free or offensive perspiration, in the form of washes for ulcerative weaknesses, and for many sanative, antiseptic purposes which readily suggest themselves to women, especially mothers. No amount of persuasion can induce those who have once used these great skin purifiers and beautifiers to use any others, especially for preserving and purifying the skin, scalp, and hair of infants and children. Cuticura Soap combines delicate emollient properties derived from Cuticura, the great skin cure, with the purest of cleansing ingredients and the most refreshing of flower odours. No other medicated soap is to be compared with it for preserving, purifying, and beautifying the skin, scalp, hair, and hands. No other foreign or domestic toilet soap, however expensive, is to be compared with it for all the purposes of the toilet, bath, and nursery. Thus it combines in ONE SOAP at ONE PRICE, the BEST skin and complexion soap, the BEST toilet and baby soap in the world.
