RISKED A DUCKING TO SEE THE NASHVILLE Panic Among the Patriotic Waiting for a Chance to See the Gunboat. | ST. LOUIS, May 11.—A vast concourse of people filled the levee from 10 o’clock | this morning until 5 o'clock in the after- noon eagerly awaiting an opportunity to be ferried out to the gunboat Nashville, anchored in midstream. The privilege of | transportation had been granted to but one ferry company, in order that the | Nashvilié might not be overcrowded. This company’s wharf boat was jammed. At noon the jam was increased. Suddenly a small child was pushed off the wharf into the river. Instantly a policeman followed and as the water was shallow the child was soon rescued. The excitement, however, caused a panic and several men were shoved over the edge of the wharf. They waded out. At least twenty-five women fainted and were in danger of being trampled, but the police succeeded in carrying every ome out of | the jam. Nobody was injured. Several children fell into the water during the day, but were rescued before they got beyond their dt‘pth.* 'MISS EGAN NOT GUILTY ~ OF ATTEMPTED MURDER Shoshone Reservation Teacher Who Drew a Revolver Is Acquitted. WINNEMUCCA, Nev., May 11L.—United States Commissioner Archer this after- noon dismissed the charge of attempt to commit murder against Miss Anna C. gan, Dr. Meriwither and Frank Carson. The court held that there was no evi- dence whatever agalnst Carson. In regard to Miss Egan, had she wished to in- jure Indian Agent Mayhugh or Meyers | he had every opportunity to do so. Meri- wither, Judge Archer said, had done what any other man would have done under | the circumstances. When he appeared upon the scene he found Miss Egan and his wife confronted by two men with re- | volvers in their hands. Being unarmed, | the most natural thing for him to do was | to take the pistol from Miss Egan's hand and defend the women with it. The charges were accordingly dismissed. The decision gives general satisfaction. e THROUGH THE TRESTLE ‘ INTO SPANGLERS RUN | NEWCASTLE, Pa., May I1L—A struction train on the Pittsburg Western Raflroad, near Waupau, | went through a trestle into Spanglers un, eighty feet below, this morning.

It is against the dangerous policy of a people frenzied by the spirit of conquest, duped and hypnotized by the British idea of tmpe ism, that we German-Americans join the sober- minded, true patriots of this country in their protest’ against imperlalism. We protest against the mad desire of picking a quarrel with Germany, not on aceount of secret politi- cal sympathies with the old fatherland, for we should stand up like one man in defense of this country were Germany to encroach upon American rights. But we protest agalnst be- ing made the tools of England’'s deep-seated hatred against a country to whom we owe a great part of our civilization. Being the off- #pring of a higher and more humane civili- zation than the English, we protest agalnst the brutal and inhuman warfare carried on in the Philippines and Samoa. We do not believe in the Mohammedan {dea of spreading religion and civilization with the Bible in one hand and the rifie in the other. We are not arro- gant enough to consider ourselves instruments in the hands of divine Providence. Know- ing by experience far better than many native- born Americans the priceless value of Ameri- can freedom, we protest against imperialism as a crime 'committed against the spirit of American freedom and American institutions. It is their American patriotism which to-day unites the German-Americans from the At- lantic to the Pacific in protest against the British idea of expansion and imperialism, FIRE IN CANNERIES. Sacramento Packers’ Association’s Loss at Black Diamond. ANTIOCH, May 11.—The Sacramento Packers’ Assoclation’s canneries at Black Diamond, Contra Costa County, were visited by fire on Wednesday evening. Before the flames could be subdued the cannery bullding, icehouse, wharf and fish-house were destroyed. The large warehouse and mess were saved after a hard fight. The fire is said to have originated from an explosion brought about by a watch- man carelessly opening a barrel contain- ing coal ofl. It is thought the gas that had generated in the barrel had exploded when the cask was opened and threw a | portion of its contents on the lantern | which the watchman had set down close by. The flames from the burning ol | spread quickly to the wooden buildings, A tank containing nearly forty gallons of coal ol was ignited, and a terrific explo- slon resulted. The damage is placed at $25,000. The As- sociation carried $12,000 insurance. Forty men will be temporarily thrown out of employment. The association intends to rebuild immediately. In.the Interim the neighboring canneries at Benicla will as- sist the association to fulfill its contracts. b Ie Merchants’ Association Formed.
