SEVERAL LIVES LOST Old River Bed Near Cleveland the Scene of Disaster. j FIFTEEN KNOWN TO BE DEAD. I — Ore Hiiiidloi'M Upon nn Iniprovined Ferryboat, When It Wntf Cap* All the OrcupantM Thrown Into the River—One of the Rescued Tells How It Happened. Cleveland, July 17.—Several lives were lost in an accident which occured about 7:30 o’clock last evening on the. A old river bed near the ore docks of the Cloveland ami Pittsburg Railway company. The ore handlers had jyst quit work for the day and were waiting their Kurils to cross the branch of the river on the flat bottomed ferry boat which they had provided for their own use. A number of the men had crossed. When the ferry reached the dock the last time, at least 20 men crowded upon it. Tiie boat, which was about 30 feet long and not more than four teet wide, would carry safely not more than a dozen persons. The stream is not wide, however, and the hurrying ore handlers had no thought of danger. The boat was pushed from the shore < and was being propelled across the scream. When it was about half wtiy over it began to sink. Then as the men rushed to the side it turned over. Victims Sank lake Lead. All the occupants were thrown into the river. Those who remained on the shore, alarmed at the capsizing of the little craft, at once threw life preservers and planks to the unfortunate men, but , most of them sank like lead. A few, however, managed to swim ashore, while one or two were picked up by. a tug. The life saving crew, whoso station is near the scene of the accident, was} summoned at once, and the work of recovering the bodies from the river was begun. Story <»f One Who Escaped. Richard Masden, chief engineer of the steamer Bessemer, which the men had been unloading, was on the ferry when it overturned. Hi' thinks there must have been 30 or mortri-.men on the frail craft. The boat wits floating all right, he says, until the steamer Aragon, ..a pig ore carrier, came down the river. ~ The swell from that vessel caused it to rock and the men became alarmed. Many of them rushed to the side and jumped over before the boat capsized. The wash from the Aragon carried them under the water and several of them were, drowned before help could reach them. “The m n struggled frantically,” said Master., “to save themselves, but they secur'd powerless. When 1 saw that the boat was going over. I decided to stay with it. That is what saved my life. I let. the boat turn over once, and by putting my head > above the water underneath it 1 escaped the swell from the steamer and came out till right. ” Two bovs, Bernard-Patton, aged 15, t and Martin Corrigan, aged 13. yore in the boat and both saved themselves by swimming to the shore. After It) bodies hail boon taken from the water they were conveyed to the morgue for identification. None of tho men who were' drowned lived near the place where the accident occurred and, although a great crowd of curiosity seekers had assembled, nobody who saw the bodies as they were taken from the river was able to identify a single one of them. Following’ is a list of the dead at the morgue: William Saunders, married, one child. At UC'ST Kasten, married, several children. Michael Lynch, married. Fritz Bartel, 21 years old. single. Chris Girlach, 45 years old, married, two children. Prokup, aged about 40 years, married. C'ARL BoiirmEISTER, aged about 30, only married three or four months. JULIUS Erke, married, several children. Christ Geiiren, married, several children. Charles Kraus, aged about 35 years, widower, several children. Edward Ryan, jis years old. Charles Spoerke, aged 4 > years. • Charles Nuqoen, aged 35 years, married. Unknown Man. William Buelow, a pressman, went down to the river to see the excitement aud 'fell off the abutment near the Detroit boat landing and was drowned. There were many pathetic scenes about the morgues while relatives of the dead were identifying them. It is believed all the bodies have been re- I covered, though it is possible that one f or two more victims may be added to the list. e— « Whitney Asks a Correction. New York, July 17. —W. U.

I -. Peel and Wellington. Dean Boyle in his “Reminiscence#” tells a striking anecdote of the mutual appreciation of the same quality of high sincerity in public life of the famous i statesman. Sir Robert Peel, and the I “Iron Duke” of Wellington. I Mr. Wood, a friend of 'Dean Boyle’s, had at one time, when the Duke of . Wellington was very ill in London, j i come from the city to a country house at which Peel was visiting. As soon as lie arrived, Sir Robert called him aside and asked with intense anxiety what was the latest news of the duke’s condition. It was considered hopeless, and Mr. Wood t< Id him so. The great minister brok" down utterly, crying out with a burst of tears: “He is the truest man I have ever known I” The duke, however, recovered despite the predi’et u-iis of his doctors, and survived Peel. The same gentleman—Mr. Wood—by ' a curious ccincidence wag pri sent wh< ij Peel was thrown from his hpise and received the ir, juries which result! <1 in his death. Ho hastened to his assistance, procured a carriage and accompanied him heme, remaining tor some time in the house to render the family what services he might in their time of confusion and distress. He was yet there when the Duke of Wellington arrived to make inquiries, and was deputed 'by Lady Pet Ito receive him. He hastened to the door and found the duke on the stop-about to enter the house, and informed him that the physician pronounced Sir Robert’s hurt to be desper- i ate, and his chaiice of life almost noth- j ing. ‘‘He was. tiro soul of truth,” said the i old soldier huskily, and turning ab- , ruptly from the threshold lie mounted his horse and reclc s<ti row fully away. How the “Edit' r” Was Made. Tho normal proci. s of the evolution 1 of editors was simply the gradual dele- I gution of powers by the printer or book- ! seller who had first employed some in- I habitant of Drub street as a drudge, and ! when the work became too complex and i delicate had handed over the duties to i nu nos special literary training. Two I very important periodicals, however, of j this period show a certain reversion to the olden type. The Edinburgh Review i owed part of its success to its independ- i once of publishers. It was started net by a speculator who might wish to.puff his own Wares, but by a little knot of audacious y<>uths who combined as Steele ami Add:.- ! i combined in The Spectator. It s< ems that at first they scarcely even contemplated the necessity of an editor, and Sydney’ Smith was less editor than president of Hie little committee of authors at tlie start. When Jeffrey took up the duty he was careful to make it understood that ■ his work was to be strictly subordinate j to his professiotial labors, and hc-had no ! inkling that' his fame would come tft ’ depend upon his editorship. The Edin- j burgh, however, scon became a review of the normal kind. Cobbett, pu the other band, started his Political Register as a kind Os rival to The Annual Register. It was to be mainly a collection of state papers and official documents, but it seen changed in his hands iiyto the likeness of D< foe’s old Review. It became a personal manifesto of Cobbett himself, and us such held a most important place in the journalism of the time. But Cobbett was, and in some ways remains, unique, and,-as the newspaper: has developed, the “we” has superseded '• the “I” and the organism become too complex to represent any single person. —National Review. The Pumpkin Pie Vindicated. The trouble is not in the pumpkin pies of today. They are compiled with even more skill than those of our grandmothers, for the pumpkin pie has. kept step with the progress of the age. The change has been wrought not in the pie, but in these who sit in the gloaming weeping for the good old pies that are gone. We remember our grandmothers’ ’ pumpkin pies because then we had net pickled our stomachs with whisky and j tilled our systems with* tobacco and I broken down our health by all sorts of excesses, and we didn’t have dyspepsia until we had to sit up nights and nurse ! It and drink gallons of sarsaparilla. Green apples and sour gooseberries and gourds tasted good jo us then, when eve , were growing .two inches a day and [ ! roamed at will in the open air and bad more health than we could feed. It would be just as well for us ty weep for the green apples ami gourds of our grandmothers. Oh, tho pies are all right. We’ve gone wrong, that's all. —-Fremont (Neb.) Tribune.

ftootch Farm Laborern. During the last 10 or 12 yean, ws have witnessed in Scotland an enormous j decrease in the number of “bands” em- ' ployed in agricultural work. In 1871 there were in Scotland 165,090 farm servants, in 1881 there were 149,765 and iif 1891 only 120,770. Doubtless more than ono cause has contributed to I this result, but in the main it must be ; traced back to two great central facts. (1) During the last 20 years large tracts of arable land have' gone out of cultivaHqn. (2) During tho same period rtiere* has tilken place an enormous display ment of baud labor by machinery.

Interest in the silver convention has been completely eclipsed I by the bitser struggle among the Popu- J lists of nominating or indorsing Bryan. ' The programme of silver convention I is cut and dried. There is no division of sentiment. Congressman Francis Newlands of Nevada, .is temporary | chairman, and William P. St. John the : permanent chairman. They will deliver tiieir speeches, a platform, of a sin- j gle plank in favor of the free coinage of ] silver at 16 to 1 will be adopted. Bryan ■ and Sewall will be indorsed and the convention will adjourn. : The Fppulists, on tlie other hand, are . rent, and torn by internal dissensions .and. the. conteiidjng factions jiluiiged ; immediately into a fierce and’‘deterj mined fight which may be prolonged for four or five days and which, from present indications.,; Will probably r - suit in'a bolt, no *matter which faction prevails. Tin- Bryan men appear to be in control and the leaders are very Confident that they are in rhe majority. Y.-ster-day tlil'V were reinforced by the arrival of 50(1 Bryan Populists from Nebraska, headed-by Governor Holcomb, 150ener- , getic Populist workers from Kansas a-iid > 'many from ‘tither—prrrts—of thr~wvsr.- ; They are pressing upon the “middle of ! the road” delegates the view that the I situation presents tlie shigle issue, Me- . Kinley or Bryan; that the western Popu- i lists insist upon grasping the pppor- I tunity to vote on the silver issue where their vote's will count,- mid failure to nominate Bryan will split the party “wide open and cause dissensions that will never heal. They confront the southern delegates and scattering squads from other sections, who want to keep in the middle of'the road and have “no truck.” as some of them express it. with either of the parties, especially the- : Democratic party, with which they have been at war. Disrupted Both Old Parties. ■While strong of eonyietion and vociferous in their determinations that they will never surrender; the “Middle of the Road” delegates are practically a disorganizd crowd. In certain quarters, however, they appear to have unquestionably gained strength. In Washington state, for instance, out of 17 Bryan men, who came in the delegation, they , claim to have caffiured all but two. 1 They argue that they have disrupted ' both the old political parties and with I four more years of old party rule, they j will be able to sweep the country. At i •-the meeting yesterday, some one raised : !■ the cry that a man named Silas Ross of ' : Buffalo, was lure in the interest of the : Republican managers to prevent the in- : I dorsemenr of Bryan, and a fight was ! ! only averted by the diseovwv that the i man at whom the assiiult \vas levelled, • I was some one else. ■.< !
