L0SS OF THE TUG MOGUL, Wrecked Off Cape Flattery While Trying to Save a 75-Cent Rope. There Was No Insurance on the Vessel, Which Was Valued at $25,000. PORT TOWNSEND, Wasg., In an attempt to recover a hes worth 75 cents the British tug Victoria, valued at $25,000, was wrecked. Further particulars show that the tug, after towing the bark Darra to sea Sunday morning, tried to run alongside the vessel to secure a heaving line. The sailing ves- sel struck the Mogul’s bow, tearing away - her stem ana opening up the seams of her hull, through which the water flowed rapidly. The accident happened a few miles west of Cape Flattery, and the tug, though in imminent danger of sinking, headed for Neah Bay, inside the straits, but she filled so rapidly that it was neces- sary to beach her two miles inside of Tatoosh light among the rocks. Not a moment was lost, as her officers aver she could not have run another mile. The tug will prove a total loss, with the exception of her machinery and boilers. The Mogul was in command of Captain Smith of Victoria and was owned by the British Columbia Tugboat Company, the principal stock of which is held by the Puaget Sound Tugboat Company of this city. She was uninsured. SENT TO BERING SEA. The Revenue Cutter Grant Receives Un- expected Orders to Sail. PORT TOWNSEND, Wasgn., May 14.— TUnexpected orders came from Washington to-night for the revenue cutter Grant to immediately prepare for sea. Some days ago the department ordered the cutter laid up for thirty days to effect necessary re- pairs. To-day, when the work was fairly commenced, orders came to suspend opera- tions and prepare for a cruise for the North Pacific Ocean. This movement is thought to have been actuated by the refusal of the British authorities to renew Bering Sea regula- tions and the desire of the United States Government to communicate with its cut- ters now patrolling the sea. Under the present complicated arrangements should other cutters seize British sealers upon the high seas for violation of the sealing regu- lations serious complications might arise between the two Governments. As soon as the Grant is ready for sea she will leave for the north in search of Com- mander Hooper of the cutter Rush, to whom dispatches from the department will be delivered. TACOMA SILVERITES ORGANIZE. Republicans Who Will Desert Their Party if Bimetallism Is Ignored. TACOMA, WasH., May 11.—The Tacoma Bimetallic Club, the formation of which has been agitated for some time, effected an organization to-night with a large membership. A constitution was adopted, which provides for members working within their own party lines to advance bimetallism. State Senator E. W. Taylor and Johnson Nickeus, prominent Repub- licans of the State, announced that unless the party declares emphatically for bimet- allism they will leave its ranks. NEAR ANACORTES.

King was formerly third mate on the steamer Eureka, running between San Francisco and San Pedro, and previous to coming to Tacoma he was weighmaster for the Pacific Coast Steamship Company at Broadway wharf in San Francisco. L g SPOKANE SHOOTING AFFRAY. Theodore Cushing Shoots His Hired Man in Self-Defense. SPOKANE, Wasn., May 14.—Theodore Cushing, a prominent citizen, shot and killed Thomas King, his hired man, to-day at his ranch, ten miles from this city. A dispute arose over wages and Cushing went into his house, more with a desire to scare the man than to hurt him, and se- cured a shotgun. King made a rush at | him with a club, when Cushing fired one barrel at his legs. He kept coming, and | Cushing then fired the contents of the sec- ond barrel, some of the shot taking effect in his abdomen. Cushing started to this city for a doctor but before he returned King died. Cush- ing came back to the city, engaged coun- sel and surrendered to the authorities. Heisin jail to-night. Cushing came to | Spokane from Portland several years ago. ——- ROMANCE OF SEATTILE. An Escaped Prisoner Is Converted and Reveals His Identity. SEATTLE, Wasn., May 14. — Elijah Brown, alias J. H. Howard, jail-breakerand burglar, who escaped three years ago after having served four years, and still has eight years to e in the Kansas State prison, was converted here Saturday night at a Salvation Army meeting, and to-day an- nounced his identity. Howard says he wants to go back and serve his eight years, and then devote the remainder of his life to missionary work with the Salvation Army.

The School Board Refuses to Obey an Order of the Board of Health. SEATTLE, Wass., May 14.—The School Board to-day decided to resist the order of the Health Board, closing two of the public schools on account of the prevalence of scarlet fever.

The Apache Kid at the Head of a Band of Renegade Cattle~ Thileves. DENVER, Coro., May 14.—Colonel Ward, acting commander of the Department of Colorado, received a dispatch late thisafter- | noon that the cavalry troops sent out from Fort Bowie are close on the trail of the Indians who were reported yesterday to have fired upon miners near Fort Bayard, Ariz,, killing several, and who have been rounding up cattle and horses and com- mitting other depredations. The Apache Kid is said to be the leader of the band of renegades. WILCOX, Ariz.,, May 14.—On Sunday evening a courier came in, stating that twelve armed Indians were seen Saturday prowling around the hills in the vicinity of Buckhorn Basin, where the mines are being worked. The miners at once left their claims after being notified, and have congregated together for protection to themselves and the few scattered families. This locality is near the abandoned post of Fort Bowie and issome twenty miles east of Wilcox. Monday morning another report was brought in from the new gold find in the south pass of the Dragoon Mountains, twenty miles south of here, that six Indians, fully armed, were seen there. They attacked a prospectors’ camp, driving the prospectors from their claims and firing four shots at one of the men, compelling him to jump for safety from a high ledge, severely injuring himself. This morning responsible reports were received from Graham County stating that a band of fifteen heavily armed Indians were seen last evening at sundown seven miles south of Clifton rounding up horses of citizens. Much alarm is felt. To-day a body of citizens take up the trail. This morning one troop of cavalry left Fort Bayard, N. M., for the scene, but long marches are necessary to reach the scene of reported danger. The citizens are feel- ing very wrought up and insecure. The Indians are reported to be in dis- tress from insufficient rations and trouble is predicted, with no adequate military protection. Only a few availahle troops to quickly reach the locality are at Fort Grant, and under orders to move inside of a week, hence all are packed up. The abandonmeut of Bowie leaves the whole southern country open to ravages, and it would not surprise those who keep watch of the indications to see the present trou- bles from miscellaneous small bands now off the reservation, bent on rapine and maurder, end in a general outbreak. SOLOMONVILLE, Arrz., May 14— Sheriff Wight was notified to-day that fifteen Apache Indians were seen yesterday at sundown,near Pomeroy’s ranch, twenty miles from Clifton, rounding up horses. Indians were reported as seen in tgn vicin- ity several days ago, but_the report was not verified. The command at Fort Grant has been notified. VALLEJO WATER WAR Suit Brought Against the City by a Private Company. HOWISON A DEFENDANT. The Mare Island Commandant Unwillingly Drawn Into the Action. WOULD SHUT OFF THE MAINS. It Is Charged That the City Cannot Legally Supply the Naval Station. VALLEJO, CaL., May 14.—The city own- ership of the water-works has brought about litigation that promises to cause much trouble. The Vallejo Water Com- pany is arrayed against the city of Vallejo. ‘When Vallejo by a called election de- cided in favor of city ownership of the works there was bad feeling on the part of those interested in the private concern. At the election many charges were made that strong influence had been brought to bear to defeat the proposition. They were never traced to reliable sources. Immediately after the bonded indebtedness of the city was sanctioned the city started to supply private consumers and all other places. Mare Island had long lacked a proper water supply and a cohtract was made by the city with the Government to supply the naval station. At the same time the Orphans’ Home, a charitable institution, was also supplied and is to-day. Suit is now commenced by the old water company to make the city relinquish its right as to furnishing water to either place. The Government works is made the base of the attack, and, together with Vallejo, Commandant Howison is made defendant. Attorney Heynemann of San Francisco will apply to the Superior Court of Solano County for a writ of review to-morrow. The City Trustees are willing to fight, and an interesting suit is looked for. As to the Orphans’ Home, the Trustees assert that they will furnish water gratis if need be sooner than give the right to the old com- pany to assert to whom the city shall fur- nish water. SEARCHING FOR NOYES. « The Missing Contractor Will Be Prose- cuted If He Is Captured. VALLEJO, Cal.,, May 14.—The disap- pearance of Contractor Noyes and his loca- tion in Oregon has caused many who were before inclined to believe insanity the cause of his departure to avow that he in- tended to decamp. At a meeting of interested parties to-day, his bondsmen decided that they would pay a penalty involving $1500 and allow Miss Dr. Lane to finish the structure that Noyes so abruptly left uncompleted. The belief is expressed that Noyes will be brought back, and if he can be taken into custody he will be tried on a charge of obtaining money under false pretenses. WORK ON THE MONADNOCK. The New Vessel Will Soon Be Ready for Its Trial Trip. VALLEJO, Cal., May 14.—Work on the Monadnock is nearing completion, which indicates that the vessel will be ready for her trial trip in about three months. ‘Workmen are engaged in placing and con- necting the steam pipes in the engine and dynamo rooms, and arranging electric wires, speaking tubes and ventilators throughout. Everything being done is well done by the skilled workmen, and it is safe to say that when tested, it will be found satisfactory in every particular. LORD DOUGLAS AT VICTORIA.

By a Slelght-of-Hand Performance He Steals a Fortune From One of His Dupes. DETROIT, Micr.,, May 14—A Miss Tomlinson of Brooklyn, N. Y., married C. J. White a little less than twelve years ago in that city. It appears that she knew nothing of his antecedents. She was known to have $12,000 in her own right and to her White paid devoted attention. They were finally married, Miss Tomlin- son, who then believed herself Mrs. White, giving him $1000 to start in business. The business did not succeed. He then got $2500 more out of her and they came West. Then he complained that savings banks were not safe and advised her to deposit her money in a safe deposit vault. He arranged all the details and when she went to the vault to deposit her money she found the box was not large enough. ‘White went for another and by some kind of sleight-of-hand he deposited a lot of worthless paper in the box and stowed Miss Tomlinson’s wealth away in his pocket. Shortly afterward he disappeared and then Miss Tomlinson began an investiga- tion. She traced him to Ireland, where she learned he had a previous wife. The first Mrs. White was induced to come to Amer- ica and since then, with detectives, the two women have worked together tor revenge. Last Saturday Miss Tomlinson came to Detroitand learned that White, under the name of Henry Whitney, had recently come to Buchanan and arranged to buy a store. At Buchanan Whitney was arrested with a woman who passed herself off as his sister. Whitney, or White, had $1200 in cash and the woman a lot of diamoands. The detectives have information which leads them to believe that White has no less than seven wives—one in Glasgow, an- other in London, another in Ireland, one in Boston, Miss Tomlinson of Brooklyn, a woman in Detroit, one in Chicago, and they also believe that the woman with him, who comes from the interior of In- diana, isthe latest accession.

Says It Is to the Advantage of Em-~ ployers to Treat Employes Fairly. NEW YORK, N. Y., May 14.—United States Labor Commissioner Carroll D. Wright was at the Fifth-avenue Hotel last night. - Speaking of labor matters over the country he said: “I have been censured somewhat fora remark attributed to me. I was quoted as saying that in my estimation there would be no strikes this summer. It was simply a misconstruction. The idea I meant to convey when I made the statement was that there would be no strikes this sum- mer that would assume the proportions or importance of the labor troubles of last summer. Of course there will in all prob- ability always be strikes, but I think they will amount to very little this summer.” Referring to the recent scrikes in Chicago which resulted in violence Mr. Wright said: “I do not think that the labor troubles there will be of any great duration or pro- portion. Of course I don’t want to talk of the causes or who is right and who is wrong, but from my own observations I think that the Chicago trouble will be speedily adjusted. One thing which pleases me is the voluntary raising of wagesin ‘Western Pennsylvania, Eastern Ohio and West Virginia and that confidence in the future seems to be fully restored. Asa re- sult of this old plants are resuming and in the vicinity of PittstMrg alone over 10,000 workingmen have received an advance during last week. “That is in direct line with my creed. The gospel I preach is fellowship between employer and employe. If employers would raise wages when times are good, as they are now doing, the men would not be suspicious when their wages were cutin periods of financial depression, but would understand and bear their portion of the burden as it stood, and a wholesome recip- rocal policy would be maintained.” LOSSES ON THE LAKES Long List of Vessels Wrecked During a Storm on Michigan. On Other Bodles of the Great Waters Many Disasters Are Reported.

PORTLAND, M., May 14.—Last night Policeman McCormick found on the side- walk near the house of Thomas B. Reed and Mayor Henry Baxter an envelope con- taining three vials filled with dark-yellow fluid and wrapped in coston batting. Pinned inside the envelope was a slip upon which was writing resembling Greek and Armenian. There was nothing in English except “M. Baxter, Fev1230 & I 222, 23. M. Reed Morrse, L. Morsow.” It was at first thought that the mysteri- ous package had been placed on the side- walk by some joker, but when the druggist pronounced the flnid in the vials nitro- glycerine the police looked at the matter seriously. ” FRUITS ARE BLASTED, Spread of the Cold Wave in the East. ALL CROPS ARE DAMAGED. Jack Frost Does His Deadly Work Over a Wide Section. DOWN DROPS THE MERCURY. Ten Degrees Below Freezing in Several Portions of Minne~ sota. WASHINGTON, D.

This period of cold has proved very unfavorable to growing crops and much injury has resulted from frosts thronghout the northern portions of the country. The line of freezing temperature extends from Western Montana southeast to Western Nebraska, thence northward to Southern North Dakota, and thence eastward through the northern portions of Minne- sota, Wisconsin and Ohio and Western Pennsylvania to Western New York, the lowest temperature being about 10 degrees below freezing point in the extreme north- ern portions of Minnesota. MILWAUKEE, Wis., May 14.—Killing frosts, so severe that ice formed in many vlaces and the ground froze, occurred throughout Wisconsin last night, but on the whole the damage to growing crops appears to be less than might have been expected. In Milwaukee the temperature was 34, La Crosse 36, Green Bay 34, Mar- quette 36.

CLEVELAND, Onro, May 14.—While the weather continues cold, there was no frost in Northern Ohio last night, as the skies were generally cloudy. The condi- tions favor a heavy frost to-night. Reports continue to come in of the general destruc- tion of fruit and early vegetables by the severe frosts of Sunday night. WAPAKONETA, Osnro, May 14.—It has been snowing here all the morning, the thermometer registeriug 20 degrees. The damage to the fruit and crops cannot be estimated. CHICAGO, Irrn., May 14.—Heavy frosts occurred this morning in Wisconsin, Mich- igan, Illinois, Indiana and Eastern Minne- sota, with seven inches of snow in the central and northern part of Lower Michi- gan. The temperature is 5 to 10 degrees lower this morning in Lower Michigan, the Ohio Valley, Tennessee and Missouri. GALESBURG, InL., May 14.—FEvery- thing was trozen stiff last night. Ice a quarter of an inch thick formed. The grape and strawberry crops are killed. It is feared that fruit of all kinds is badly in- jured. Corn was cut down. MOWAQUA, Ivr., May 14.—The heavy frost last night totally deéstroyed the fruit and berry crop of this section. Gardens are blackened to the ground. ST. LOUIS, Mo., May 14.—The signal officer reports a killing frost at Springfield, 11, and vicinity last night, and a light frost in this vicinity and throughout Mis- souri, and extending up into Iowa.

SALT LAKE, Uraw, May 14.—The Ter- ritorial Convention 0f the Republican League Clubs met here to-day for the pur- pose of choosing ten delegates to the Na- tional Convention of the league clubs to be held at Cleveland on June 19.. Nineteen clubs were represented. President Chad- wick of the Territorial League called the convention to order and delivered an ad- dress. > The resolutions as written contained this clause: “We cordially indorse the declar- ation made by the Republican League held at Denver last year.” This was erased, however, and the following substi- tuted: “We demand the immediate re- monetization of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 with gold.” The resolutions reflect severely upon the administration for its action in the recent British-Nicaraguan &ontroversy. The following delegates to the Cleveland convention were elected: David Keith, to-night discussing routine business. Presi- dent Shinellas asked what the chief ques- tions before the convention would be. He admitted that the movement for the con- solidation of the Catholic Knights and the Young Men’s Institute would be one of them, but hazarded no conjecture as to what would be the outcome. He denied the allegation made by some of the dele- gates that the scheme was favored chiefly by delegates from Southern States, assert- ing that it had even more support in the North than in the South. Personally he is in favor of the amalgamation if it can be properly accomplished. The conven- tion cannot consammate theamalgamation. Allit can do is to appoint a committee to confer with a committee from the other body. B e MOTHER PRINDLE IN CHARGE. ZLady Somerset Wilt Establish a London Rescue Home.

MANGLED IN THE MILL. Six Men Killed by the Bursting of an Unsafe Boiler. Four of the Victims Torn Limb From Limb and Their Remalns Scattered. WEST BIRMiNGHAM, PA., May 14.— This afternoon the bodies of eight men horribly mangled, scalded and disfigured were picked out from the ruins of the Peck, Haskell & Cobbs Sawmill here, the victims of an explosion of the boiler in the mill. Five men were dead, and two of the three others have since died. Those killed outright were: Claude English, James Mowers, Eugene Merrick, Lyman Perry, Charles Rover, Caleb Con- verse, Fatally injured: Albert De Groat was so fearfully mangled by boiler iron that he soon died. Ben Cridley was injured in- ternally and sustained a broken leg, but will recover. ‘The mill was run by steam, generated in an old eighty-horse-power boiler, which, it is reported, had been condemned by an inspector a few days before. 3 Thirteen men were employed in the mill. This morning they were busy at work when a bolt broke, shutting down the operations. While it was being repaired, nobody paid any attention to the boiler, which was making steam ata prodigious rate, for a hot fire had been kindled un- der it. Suddenly there came a boom, as if from & cannon, followed by a cloud of steam, dust and smoke which rose high in the air. Four of the victims were torn limb from limb and their remains scattered about the mill and the immediate vicinity. Parts of the boiler were thrown hundreds of feet. The mill was almost entirely de- molished. The victims were horribly mangled, having their heads crushed to a jelly and being recognizable only by their clothing. The dead men were all married and had families. Sl SRS Harrison Has Not Retived. INDIANAPOLIS, Inp., May 14.—Ex- President Harrison says regarding the re- port that he has permanently retired from jury practice that it is a mistake. He will not engage in any more jury trials away from home and will congne his practice mainly to arguments before the courts. A NOBLE BENEFACTOR, Hundreds Will Reap the Benefit of His Munificence. The benevolent man is always s pleasant theme for the pen of writer and historian, and this was what the late Mr.J. C. Wilmerding proved himsetf pre-eminently to be. Few there are who have not heard of his magnificent be- quest to the State of California, amounting to $400,000 to build & mechanical school; but not all are, perhaps, aware that he amassed his fortune selling Peruvian Bitters. Wilmerding's generosity in founding such a college, while great, is not greater than his services to man- kind in glving to the world the celebrated Peruvian Bitters, for these stand prominently forth as the greatest benefaction to the public health which is known to modern science. The Peruvian Bitters are a certain remedy against loss of appetite and all forms of ner- vous troubles. They are & pleasant, invigor- ating beverage, not a physic, and their use speedily corrects disordered functions, restores wasted energy, repairs lost nerve force, induc- ing regular sieep. and healthy, natural appe- tite, and tones up the system generally to its normal condition.
