STEAMER CITY OF SALTILLO SINKS

Boat Goes to the Bottom in Mississippi at Glepn Park, Mo. GREAT EXCITEMENT PREVAILS Several Are Thought to Have Been Drowned in Disaster—Boat Was One of Taft Fleet to New Orleans. St. Louis. May 12. —The big stern wheel steamer City of Saltillo which left here for Waterloo, Ala., with twenty-seven passengers and a large freight cargo, struck a rock and sank near the Missouri bank of the Misslsgippi river at Glenn Park, Mo., about thirty miles from St. Louis. In the confusion, it could not be ascertained if any had drbwnefl, but ft is believed several perished. ' The City of Saltillo was £ member of the Taft fleet which, took the president and deep waterway delegation from here to New Orleans last fall. The boat struck just as the passengers were retiring. It is thought that through some error the pilot got out of his course. On account of the present high stage of the water the steamer filled and sank quickly. The passengers, including many women and children, were thrown into confusion and it required the utmost efforts of Captain Harry Crane and his crew to save any of them. The boat turned on its side as it went down and some are thought to have been drowned in their cabins. The crew, numbering about twentyfive, including the roustabouts, put a gang plank from the boat to the shore, over which the frightened passengers ran. In the darkness and confusion it was impossible to tell whether all crossed the bridge in safety. The little town of Glenn Park was quickly aroused as the news of the disaster spread and the citizens threw their doors open for the care of the survivors. Captain Crane sent to Sulphur Springs for physicians. He reported several of the passengers and members of the crew had suffered injuries. .... -

IN THE WORLD OF SPORT

Warren Barbour, Who May Meet Tony Biddle.

Stroug efforts are being made to bring Warren Barbour, son of a wealthy New Yorker, who recently won the amateur heavyweight boxing championship of the United States, and Tony Biddle, the youug society man of Philadelphia, together in a battle for the millionaire championship of America. Barbour and Biddle are millionaires in their own right many times over and belong to the Four Hundred set In their respective cities. Charley White, the famous referee, who handled Barbour in bls bouts in Boston recently, Is inclined to believe that his protege might be induced to meet BIA die under certain conditions. The bringing of these two young gladiators together in a glove contest according to Queensberry rules would be an event that would be sure to bring out the society swells in New York and Philadelphia. It is to bs hoped that promoters will succeed In staging the match.
