VOL. NO. 142. SUUK BY THE PURITAN Ferry Steamer Run Down at St. Joseph.

SEAMEN ALL ESCAPE. Only a Crew of Three Aboard the Unfortunate Boat. PASSENGERS IN A PANIC. Many Roused from Sleep by the 4 Shock of the Collision. Those on the City of Chicago, Which the Richmond Sheltered, Thrown Into Terror.

St. Joseph. Aug. 12. The passenger steamer Puritan crashed into the ferry steamer Richmond at 4 o'clock this morn ing, eutting the ferry completely in two, Fortunately there were no passengers on the ferry at the time, but the crew of three had narrow escapes from drowning, after a close call from being crushed by the big iteamer.

It was a fortunate thing for the Graham and Morton steamer City of Chi eago, which was lying at the dock abreast of where the collision occurred, that the ferry boat was struck first, for had not the Richmond served as a fender and deadened the shock of the collision the big steamer wonld undoubtedly have been cut down. The Pnritan was in command of Captain P. McGuiggan, and the Richmond was commanded oy Captain Boswell, her owner. The collision took place Just as the gray light of morning became bright enongh so that small objects were distinguishable in the river. The steamer City of Chicago had just arrived from Chicago and had a Urge number of passengers on board, many of whom were sleeping in their staterooms.

The City of Chicago took up her usual position just below the bridge at her own dock, with her bow pointing up the river. The Richmond makes trips between the Hotel St. Joseph and the steamboat wharf. She was just coming through the bridge when the lights of the Puritan showed between the piers. The Richmond passed thu nf fhm Pitv nf fh cm shopped her engines, and was preparing to land at the dock just astern of the big steamer.

Maintained Nearly Fall Speed. Contrary to all laws of navigation the Puritan was coming np the river at nearly full speed, and by this time was very near the two steamers. The Puritan lands farther up the river and was going through the bridge, but the captain did not head right to make the draw, and in an instant the sharp stem of- the Puritan struck the ferry. The shock "was terrific Tbe roof of the pilot-house of the Richmond was torn off and -sent flying through the air. Pieces of wood from the little craft flew in all directions, and the hull of the boat was picitea up on me Dig stem 01 tne jrunian and hurled against the 'side of the City of Chicago.

The men on board the Richmond were thrown to the deck by the shock. As soon as they conld regain their feet two Jumped over the side and swam for their lives. One caught a dock line from the City of Chicago and was pulled out by the bystanders. An- Attiei. was 4tfii1 Ant nf th rlvv liv th crew of the City of Chicago, and the third was taken off the hull of the sinking boat a minute later oy rowooat which put out from the shore.

80 great was the force of the crash that the Richmond was carried on the stem of the Pnritan a hundred yards np the river before the headway of the steamer was stopped, and then the wreck slipped from the firm grasp and sank. The sharp bow of the big steamer had ent clear through the cull and broken the stout planks and frames Into kindling wood. After the wreck sank just the end of the bow, the pilot honse, and smokestack 1 1 1 .1 Panaengers la a Panic. On the hurricane deck of the City of Chi cago panic reigned for a minute. A number of Daaaensrera had gathered there and when they saw the bow of the Pnritan headed for them they thought that the steamer was to be cut They conld not see the ferry in the way nor could the crew, and they were as fearful as the passengers.

Said one after the accident: "When some one cried tnat we were going to be run down I looked astern, and saw tbe Puritan headed right for our stern, and not a hundred feet away, I thought the collision was in evitahle. As the Richmond lay she was in side the lines of onr paddle-boxes, for the sides draw in very rapidly as yon approach the stern of the City of Chicago." un tne irmritan there were not many people on deck as the steamer came in, and when the awful crash came the passengers were thrown from tbe berths by the shock They were erazy with excitement, for they thought at first that a collision had taken place in midlake and they were to be the victims of a second Lady Elgin horror, Many people were in their staterooms dressing on the City of Chicago, and here tbe shock was not so heavy, as the brunt had largely been taken np by the unfor tunate Richmond, but the people were greatly alarmed and it took considerable talk to reassnre them. On the afterdecks of the City of Chicago, where tho danger stared the passengers in tbe face, the situs tion was most fearfuL Carelessness Held Responsible. Just before the Pnritan struck the ferry Captain McGuiggan gave his engineer the signal to back strong, which was instantly obeyed. Had it not been for this the dam age to the Citv of Chicago must have been great After the collision the Puritan backed clear of both boats and landed ber passengers at the dock, just below the City of Chicago.

Marine men declared that the vviucu via uuc iu nrewwucss UU IW part of Captain McGuiggan, and said that he was entirely at fault for running his steamer at such a rate of speed in narrow channels. His steamer did not answer her helm as he had expected, and if the steam ers had not -been in the way he would probably have run into the abutment of the bridge. The damage to the Puritan was ennnned to a broken stem piece. 1 be Richmond is owned bv the Boswell Pike Ferry Company, and is valued at H00O. She is a total -loss.

It is thought that cnless the damage claim is settled promptly by the owners of the Puritan they will be sued for the loss of the Richmond. Captain McGuiggan has been on the Puritan for one season before this, when the steamer was running to Cheboygan and other Northern Michigan ports. The defense of Captain McGuiggan is that the Richmond had no lights displayed. and that she ran directly across his bow. He states that the reason he got so near the Cltv of Chicago was that when he backed his engine to avoid a collision with the Richmond it threw bis bow around much nearer the south shore of the river than it wonld have been had he not been trying to avoid a collision with the ferry.

The question as to whether it was daylight or dark when the collision occurred will have a most important bearing in the legal "suit which will follow the disaster, and also upon the investigation of the United States steamboat Inspectors involving the captain's individual culpability. XX. BEAH SHOOTS AH ALDEKXAH. City's Attempt to Tear Cp Street Car Tracks la Beaton Harbor. Causes a Riot.

Bestos Harboh, Aug 13. Special Telegram. A controversy existing between the Benton Harbor and St. Joseph Street Railway Company and this city culminated early this morning in a riot that threatened fatal consequences. The trouble grew out of the refusal of the railway company to remove its tracks on East Main street, so that the street might be properly 'graded for paving.

Tbe City Council determined to wait no longer for tbe company but take tbe matter in hand and remove the tracks. The contract for taking np the track was given contractors, who engaged men and teams to begin the job at 4 o'clock this morning. The street railway company learned of the intention and took steps to prevent their proceeding. This morning a car was placed in readiness at the terminus' and equipped with fire-arms and men to handle them, the plan being to ran the ear to the scene of action on notification that they were ready to begin work. Tbe ear was supplied with three shot-guns, one repeat ing Winchester rifle, and one revolver, and the men in charge were President Bean, Superintendent Mason, two conductors, and one motorman of the line.

About 4:30 the ear rolled in on the scene and was met by laborers, who began to prevent the further progress of the ear. Policemen on hand with Aldermen Shriver and Dean ordered Mr. Bean to take his car away. After a few words from one of the alder men Mr. Bean stepped out on the platform of the car with a leveled shotgun in his bands and fired into the crowd, severely wounding Alderman Schriver.

Soon after the shooting Mr. Bean was placed under arrest by Deputy Sheriff Sterns, and later was admitted to ball in tbe sum of $1,000 and ordered to appear tomorrow morning for a hearing. The affair created intense excitement. About 11 o'clock the workmen resumed work on the tracks, and by 3 p. they bad them all taken up.

Tbe courts will probably be appealed to to decide the dispute. BATH TALIS XX TEX COXX STATES. Drought Broken in Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, and Sooth Dakota. Omaha, Aug. 13.

All day generous rains have been falling throughout Ne braska, and the crop situation Is materially improved. The rains have extended into Colorado, South Dakota, Kansas, and Iowa. On the Union Pacific rain fell west of North Platte and at Gotbeburg. Grand Island, Schuyler, and other towns in that vicinity. Rain fell along the Burlington at Flattsmouth, Aurora, Ponca, Greeley Center, Burwell, Loup City, Hast ings, Kearney, Cnrtis, McCook, Benkle-man, and along the Sheridan line.

This gives rain to a large section of the farm' ing districts in Nebraska that have been much damaged bv drought. The best- informed agriculturists of the State think the corn crop will yield one-third of an average. The drought has given great impetus to irrigation throughout the State. A big mass meeting was held at Long Pine, the center of the district, to discuss the question of Irrigation, and a proposition made by a representative of East ern capitalists to construct a canal through Brown, Rock, and Hall counties. providing these three counties contribute $250,000 in bonds toward the enterprise besides a certain guarantee of water privi leges.

Before the close of the meeting resolution that it was the sense of the meeting that tbe proposition be accepted was carried. The sentiment here is unanimously in favor of the -project. Tbe assemblage was composed of the business men and farmers, property owners of Brown and Rock counties. T02C DICX1XS01TS HEROIC DEES. Twelve-Year-Old Boy Throws a Switch and Averts a Terrible Disaster.

Anderson, Aug. 12. Special Tele- oront. Tom, the 13-year-old son of Tom Dickinson, of Pendleton, saved a score of lives last night. Tbe passenger train west that left this city at 8:05 got orders to side track at Pendleton for a special fast freight.

Tbe passenger arrived on close time. Tbe engineer pulled np to the end of the switch and backed up. The switch was left open. Who was responsible for this will be determined by an investigation. None of the passenger erew noticed the open switch until the freight of forty care was coming down the grade at a terrific speed.

It was too late to run to the switch and the engineer and fireman were just ready to vacate the cab, into which the freight was sure to crash a moment later, when Tom, who was playing near the switch, happened to notice that it was open. He took in the situation, grabbed the handle, and, when the engine was less than fifty feet away, threw the switch. The next instant tne freight rumbled past the passenger coaches. As the freight was going at a high rate of speed the wreck would have been terrible. SALTATIOX AXXT BOLD IE 5 IS JAIL.

Aug. 13 Today definitely defined the course of the State officers in reference to the presence of State troops to keep tbe South Omaha strikers quiet All was quiet. Omaha ruards and Thur ston guards were released, and only three companies" from the Interior of the State will be retained at the scene for a day or so longer.

Probably two-tbirds of the strikers have returned to work or will do so tomorrow, and the rest would if they conld sec are positions. It is my present intention," said Gen eral Colby, "to keep the balance of the companies here until Tuesday morning, when the men can go direct to Lincoln to attend the State encampment. Certainly, 11 tbe situation does not appear favorable to peace at that time, the men will not be allowed to leave. With all the men at Lincoln it wonld be a handy matter to get them here. All arrangements have been made there for the men, and I do not think it would be best to change under these circumstances.

My reasons for thinking that there will be no serious trouble from now on is the manner of tbe men who are out. They all seem to be peaceable and quiet. I have it officially from the packers that many of the strikers are coming back to work, and it seems to me that this trouble is now nearing an end. I do not anticipate any more trouble whatever, but we propose to take all precautions. All the other companies of the brigade who were notified to oe in readiness to start for South Omaha have been notified by General Colby that their services will not be required.

Special TtW gram. "But nevertheless, notwithstanding, '-Miss Allendale will sing 'Down in the It looks very much as though the moral of Senator Vest's diverting tale was on the point of realization. Tbe Senator told tho tale immediately after the appear- a nee of tho President's letter to Chairman Wilson. It Is the old one, bnt the Senator's adaptation waa new: In a primitive variety theater ont West good many years ago -tho stage manager eame ont before tbe footlights without a coat or vest and with his shirt sleeves rolled np to the elbow to announce the next number on tbe pro- -MUs Birdie Allendale," be said, "who baa entranced two hemispheres with her marvelous vocal powers, will now appear, l. and in her Inimitable style will render the exquisite vocal selection entitled, 'Down in tbe Miss Allendale was a lady of shady repn-L.

tatlon from a neighboring mining camp, ana voice in tbe audience spoke np: vBirdie Allendale can't 'sing for sour ap- pies." i The stage manager looked fiercely in the direction of voice, and raising one shoulder and thrusting his lower Jaw forward he remarked with deliberate calm- ness: "But nevertheless, Miss Allendale will sing 'Down in tbe And likewise nevertheless, notwith. standing," added tbe Senator, "the Senate schedules will stand." Senate BIO, PerSdy, and All. Tbe House has been slow In coming to tbe point, but now that it is reached there -is a mad rush to take tbe Senate bill with all its abominations." 'The House Demo- crate are so eager to pass the bill that they have actually gone to the length of stealing "It is the first time In said Tom Reed tonight, "that I have-known of erow being broken into. I have known of its being eaten, bnt never before of its bs- ing Whether by fair means or fouLthe House has possession of the bill, or will act npoa that presumption, and it is expected that when the House meets tomorrow Chairman Wilson will move to accept the Sen- ate amendments. From indications tonlzh 1 it is doubtful whether fifty Democrats will -be fonnd in the eanens to stand out against the plan of adopting the Senate bill.

Isa- dor Strauss and John Dcwitt Warner still profess to have hopes of defeating tbe project, but everybody else seems ready to lay down his arms. A Democratic member of the ways and -means committee said tonight: "We mnst pass a bill. If we do not this administration will go down as the most impotent and useless administration in the history of the country. The revenues are fifty millions shy. If this bill is not passed a bond issue -will be an absolute necessity, and Congress will not permit that.

The alternative Starrs ns in tbe face of the Senate bill or bankruptcy. Tbe President will sign tbe bUL It will be a bitter dose, bnt infinitely better than nothing." -r Mr. Bill Is BatUfled. Senator Hill said tonight that be sup-. posed the Honse wonld accept tbe bill, and -if that was the case be wonld have nothing further to-do about it.

He bad done his part in bringing the thing to a crisis, and be had introduced his resolution in order to hurry action and get out of Washington-There wonld be no use in antagonizing the bill because of any technical defect In the manner of its adoption by the House. Mr. Seed believes that tbe Honse has no -right to touch the bill. He said tonight that there waa no question whatever about its being in the possession of the and for the Honse to take it np now under -any pretense would be flat burglary. Still, tbe Speaker and tho committee on rules could do anything, even to directing that tne Honse accede to the Senate amend-" ments in a lump, without affording an op- -portnnity to vote on the separate items.

The feeling in administration circles was indicated today by statements of two Cabinet officers, who said that the bill would now go through in the shape fixed by tho Senate. This is believed to fore-shadow the purpose of the President to allow the bill to become If the President did not Intend to allow the bill to become a law it Is argued that he wonld hardly permit the House to pass it. With-out his interposition the bill is now dead. -If it Is to be resuscitated by his directions solely for the purpose of giving him an opportunity to write veto message of re- consecration the Democrats in the House will have been tricked, and it Is not be-lieved that the President wonld take pains to let his entire party in Congress discredit -Itself in order to give himself a little mo mentary distinction. Jnst Suits the Republicans.

"I cannot imagine a better situation for tbe Republicans," said Senator Lodge tonight. "The defeat of the bill could not be any more to onr advantage than its passage under snch conditions. The President has made onr campaign for us. If he-signs the bill, or allow it to become a law without his signature, we have simply to read his letter to- ilson from every stump. No Republican orator could say anything about the bill which would discredit it so ntterly." A prominent member of the administration said this afternoon: "I think tho bill will go through in its present snane, and think the President will sign it.

Of course it puts ns in a bad condition, but it is tho best thing that can now be done. I don't know bow wo are going to avoid criticisms of the bill from tho stump after all we said in dennnciatlon of trusts two years ago. But this bill is better than nothing." I The one Tact definitely determined tonight.
