Steamer Orly Abandoned When
Flame* Swept From Stem to Stern.
Those Who Lost Their Lives Were
Cot Off Before the Alarm of Fire
Readied Them—Excellent Discip
line Was Shown by the Grew ot
the Vessel.
New York. Dec. 17. —By the burn
ing of the Starln line steamer Glen
Island in Long Island Sound to-day,
nine lives were lost and property
roughly estimated at a quarter of a
million dollars was destroyed.
That more lives were not sacrificed
undoubtedly was due to the personal
courage of the officers and crew, and
the excellent discipline maintained
when a horrible death for all seemed
almost a certainty. When the steam
er was abandoned she was flame-swept
from stem to stern, and yet the only
persons who lost their lives were those
whose escape had been entirely cut off
by the fire before the alarm reached
them.
Of the thirty-one persons, including
ten passengers, who sailed away on the
Glen Island last night, twenty-two,
including eight passengers, were
brought back to-day.
List of the Dead.
The dead are:
Passengers —Unknown Hebrew wom
an, believed to be Rosa Silken, who
lived at 206 Hamilton street. New Ha
ven.
Unknown man, supposed to be a New
Yorker.

The Glen Island left her dock here
Bt 9:30 o’clock last night on her reg
ular trip for New Haven. There were
ten passengers and a crew of twenty
one men, including Capt. Charles E.
McAllaster, First Mate Ira Larsen, Pi
lot Thomas McMullen and Quarter
master John O’Brien.
When Fire Broke Out.
The trip through the sound was with
out incident, and just before mid
night, when about three miles west of
Greenwich, Conn., Capt. McAllaster left
the pilot house and went below for
his midnight lunch. At that time there
was no indication of trouble of any
kind, hut hardly had the captain reach
ed the galley when there came a rush
of stifling smoke from the hold of the
steamer and every electric light on
board the craft was extinguished. When
the captain rushed to the deck smoke
was pouring from every passageway,
hnd flames were sweeping up through
the aperture around the walking beam.
Capt. McAllaster sent in- the alarm
for fire drill, and the men came
tumbling out of their bunks. In the
meantime the steering gear had been
blocked and the pilots, finding them
selves unable to direct the course of
the steamer, hurried to the assistance
of the other members of the crew In
saving lives.
Boat* Ordered Away.
Capt. McAllaster ordered McMullin
to go to the hurricane deck and loos
en the two large lifeboats. He man
aged to loosen one of the boats, while
Capt. McAllaster went to the main
deck and tried to loosen the two large
life boats. Capt. McAllaster manag
ed to loosen the port life boat. The
lother life boat was frozen to the
davits, but a smaller one was soon
ready to be lowered away.
While the officers and crew were
working there was a fearful scene of
confusion among the ten passengers.
They ran about the saloons in disar
ray. The woman who lost her life
had been aroused by the stewardess
and was on her way to one of the
boats, when she suddenly turned and
dashed back into the flaming cabin.
It Is supposed that she went back for
her valuables. She was not seen again
and must have perished.
Took to the Boats.
There was no possibility of waiting
for the rescue of those who failed to
appear at once. In the large boat fif
teen people were afloat. They Included
the eight rescued passengers and seven
of the crew, including the captain. The
large boat was just about to be low
ered, when the latter ran up and jump
ed In just in the nick of time, or he,
too, would have perished.
The smaller boat, which Pilot Mc-
Mullin had managed to free, carried
seven passengers. The two boats were
rowed as far away from the burning
steamer as was necessary to escape
destruction and waited there and
watched the boat burn. They made
every possible effort to find any possi
ble survivors, but there was none to
be found.
The burning steamer drifted away
toward the Long Island shore. In the
meantime the tug Bully, which was
passing with a string of barges in
tow, sighted the burning steamer, cast
her tow adrift and came to the rescue
of persons in the boats. They were
taken from the small craft, placed In
the furnace room of the tug, clothing
was given to them and When the
steamer Erastus Corning came along
shortly afterward were transferred to
the latter and brought to New York.
The fire Is believed to have started
In the dynamo room, but its cause is
(unknown.

STRONG POINTS
IN SMOOT CASE.
Continued from First Page.
Smoot, said they would admit that Mr.
Smoot had been present.
Never Flu noted Him Polygamy.
“Was It known that you were a
polygamist?’’ asked Mr. Burrows.
"I did nothing to conceal the fact,
but I had never flaunted it,” the wit
ness replied.
William Budge testified that he has
three wives, and that he has had three
children born since the manifesto of
1890 All of his wives live in Paris,
and he testified that he does not live
with one to the exclusion of the others.
Most of the children are grown and
live In Idaho. Of these children, he
testified that one son is a judge of the
district court, one son prosecuting at
torney in Bear Lake county; one son
in-law, H. Smith Woolley, is chief
assayer of the mint at Boise City, and
one daughter is postmaster at Paris.
Of himself, he admitted that he is the
most prominent Mormon in Idaho, hav
ing served in the State Senate and
otherwise taken a leading part in
church affairs.
Xot Sure About His Offspring.
John Henry Smith became an apostle
of the church in 1888 and Is the sec
ond In rank. He has two wives and
fifteen living children, four being dead.
He could not say how many of the
seven living children of his plural wife
were born since the manifesto, but
thought four. He testified that he
was one of the signers of the applica
tion for amnesty.
Asked concerning his failure to prac
tice the agreement thus made, he said:
“Nobody can take from me my fam
ily. I am responsible to them and
to God alone, and if my countrymen
choose to punish me I shall have to
suffer the consequences.”
Asked if he had ever concerned him
self about the fact that an apostle of
the church had taken a fourth wife
six years after the manifesto, Mr.
Smith replied that he felt that every
man was amenable to the laws; that
the courts have jurisdiction and that
he was not responsible for the acts
fof his associates, moral or other
wise.
Mr. Tayler told the witness that
the answer did not appear candid.
Mr. Smith answered: “If I were a
grand juryman and satisfactory evi
dence were presented to me of the facts
you have stated, I would have indict
ed the defendant.”
The committee adjourned until Mon
day.
MYRICK WAS* ON HAND.
Contempt Was Not Shown by the
Savannah Attorney.
Valdosta. Ga., Dec. 17.—This morn
ing W. R. Smith of Waycross was
tried in the federal court, upon the
charge of opening a letter that did not
belong to him and of using the con
tents, which was a draft for SSO. The
letter was addressed to “W. R.
Smith,” but was intended for “W. O.
Smith.” It came from a lawyer as
money that had been collected. W.
R. Smith claimed that he had a claim
for furniture that was destroyed
against a railroad, and was looking
for a check from a railroad lawyer.
The Jury released him.
It was in this case that the court
Issued a rule against John E. Myrlck
of Savannah, forcing him to come here
to defend the prisoner. When asked
by the court why he should not be
adjudged in contempt, Mr. Myrlck re
plied that he was on hand as the court
ordered. And thus the contempt pro
ceedings dropped.

DECISION IS FORECAST
IN GREAT BRITAIN’S FAVOR
International Commission Meets This Week to
Settle the Dogger Bank Affair.
Paris, Dec. 17.—Great activity Is
manifested In official and diplomatic
quarters In connection with the open
ing next Tuesday of the sessions of
the International commission which is
to inquire into the North sea incident.
The meeting will bring together some
of the leading naval and legal figures
of the five foremost maritime pow
ers.
Besides the Anglo-Russian crisis,
which the appointment of the commis
sion has averted, it is expected that
the meeting will establish a number
of precedents affecting International
naval conditions and the rights and
responsibilities of belligerents and neu
trals in time of war.
The British and Russian members
of the commission will arrive here
Monday. The French member is al
ready here. The steamer Finland, on
which Rear Admiral Charles H. Davis,
the American representative of the
commission is a passenger, is due to
arrive at Dover Sunday night, and
Admiral Davis is expected to arrive
in Paris Monday.
The various delegations Include a
number of interesting personages.
Special interest attaches to Capt.
Ciado of the Russsiari party, owing to
his sensational arrest for engaging in
a newspaper campaign with the object
of having the Black sea fleet pass the
Dardanelles to reinforce Vice Admiral
Rojestvensky’s squadron. Ciado is
considered the ablest naval tactician
in Russia.
Final arrangements have been made
THE S. S. AMERICA COMPARED WITH SOME OF
NEW YORK’S TALLEST SKYSCRAPERS.
...... . ——
If either the steamship America or the steamship Kalserln Auguste Vic
toria, which are now being built in Europe by the Hamburg-Amerlean Line
for transatlantic service, were placed on end among New York's skyscrap
ers. it would dwarf them all. If stood on end alongside the Washington
Monument, in Washington, which is 655 feet high, either vessel would tower
145 feet above it.
Both steamships are to be wonders of construction, convenience and lux
ury. The America will be in service next August, but the Kaiserin Auguste
Victoria will not bo finished until the spring of 1906. Each will have an
up-to-date grill room, where meals will be served ala carte and passengers
can have luncheons and dinner parties whenever they choose, and each will
have a large gymnasium.
Spaciousness will distinguish both ships. There will be three great prom
enade decks, one of which will be reserved for promenading and the other
for deck chairs and lounging. There will be no “upper” berths in the
staterooms, some of which will have dimensions of 10 by 17 feet. Turk
ish baths will also be provided. When passengers wish to pass from the
upper deck to any of tho four decks below there will be elevators for their
convenience running night and day.
The America will have a displacement of 35,000 tons. She will be 700 feet
over all, 74 feet in beam and 53 feet in depth. The Kaiserin Auguste Victo
ria will have a displacement of 40,000 tons, a length of 705 feet, a beam of
77 feet and a depth of 53 feet. Each ship will have a carrying capacity of 3,-
589 passenger*. Their speed Is designed to be seventeen knots an hour.
COMPANIES THAT WILL
BUILD THE WARSHIPS.
Washington. Dec. 17.—Secretary Mor
ton to-day approved the recommenda
tion of the Naval Board on Construc
tion for the award of the contract for
the construction of the armored cruisers
Montana and North Carolina to the
Newport News Shipbuilding Company,
at Its bid of $3,575,000 for each vessel,
and the contract for the construction
of the battleship New Hampshire to
the New York Shipbuilding Company,
at Its bid of $3,748,000.
A CIVIL AVAR CAPTAIN
Talks to the Point.
“Until about two years ago I had
had piles for about 30 years, at times
bleeding and very painful. I got a fifty
cent box of Pyramid Pile Cure at the
drug store, and used It and was en
tirely cured: got another box In case I
needed it, and as the piles did not re
turn In six months I gave the remedy
to a friend of mine who wanted the
doctor to operate to cure him. My
friend said he would uae the 'pyra
mids' but he knew they would do him
no good, but they cured him of piles of
twenty-five years standing. 1 am free

The majority of people labor under
the ImpresHlon that an operation 1*

regarding the remedial virtue* of any
medicinal compound. Testimony like
the above should certainly have a ten
dency to dispel this Impreealon, al
though it I* odd that such a fallacy
should prevail, and still more odd that
so many people should think an oper
ation effects a permanent cure, where
as tin contrary Is more often the ossa.

for the opening session to take place
Tuesday. Instead of the gorgeous hall
of ambassadors, as first contemplated,
the commission will be installed in
more convenient business quarters on
the first floor of the palace on the
Quai D’Orsay. The meeting room is
a beautiful apartment in white and
gold with Ixiuis IV decorations, mir
rors and rich frescoes. There the com
mission will first meet Informally and
privately, as the proceedings will be
private until it is formally decided to
make them public. It is expected that
Foreign Minister Delcasse will make
the address of welcome. Thereafter the
admirals will choose a fifth admiral,
determine questions of procedure and
adjourn until after the holidays.
It is understood that the British side
of the case is practically made up. It
is the expectation that Sir Edward Fry
will bear the burden of presenting and
proving the case, as it is assumed that
the English common law principle will
prevail, that the burden of proof is
upon Great Britain to prove in the
affirmative and not upon Russia to dis
prove in the negative.
A number of rumors concerning the
commission’s probable decision are al
ready in circulation. One is to the ef
feot that three admirals out of the four
are already in favor of the British
contention, thus ensuring an ultimate
decision favorable to Great Britain.
The names of the admirals are be
ing mentioned, hut. this and other re
ports are purely speculative.
All the admirals are men of inde
pendence and rigid believers in await
ing official details before reaching a
conclusion. Therefore, it is certain
that the ease will be judged and de
cided on its merits and without pre
conceived inclinations.

The rich foods usually served at
holiday dinners and the unusual in

Catarrh of the stomach Is usually
called dyspepsia. Many a case of
dyspepsia had its beginning at
some holiday feast or Christmas

Those who have been acquainted
with the value of Peruna in such wises
often escape the evil consequences of
these feasts.

Valdosta, Ga., Dec. 17.—At a late

the government against Walter Brack

of receiving stamps that had been em
bezzled from the government, and also
ot entering a conspiracy with Lucien
McDonald to embezzle the stamps, re
turned a sealed verdict, which was
opened In the federal court this morn
ing. The verdict was one of guilty in
the first case, with a recommendation
of mercy, and an acquittal In the sec

This was the hardest fought case of
the week and much Interest centered
In It. Bracken and his father ran a
livery stable ut liainbrldge, and Mc-
Donald, who turned state's evidence,
accused him of encouraging him to
steal the stamps from the postoffice,
his father being the postmaster. There
was strong evidence on both sides, but
many expected Bracken to he acquit

THEY HAVE RELIGION.
Amerflcaa Revivalists Are Stirring
I'D the Welsh.
London, Dec. 17.—There has been a
remarkable spread in the religious re
vivals, which were started at Bolton,
Lancashire, by Rev. Rueben A. Tor
rey and Charles M. Alexander, both of
whom are from Chicago.
At first the movement was consid
ered to be only one of the periodical
outbursts which happen from time to
time throughout England and Scot
land, but the proportions It haa now
assumed attract general attention.
Wales, which Is largely non-conform
ist, Is ringing with revivals and the
churches are crowded on week day*
and on Sundays. Some of the places
of worship will not accommodate those
who wish to attend, and peoplo gather
In halls and In the open streets. All
classes are affected.
A notable difference between the
Welsh revivals and other revival
meetings Is the fact that the proceed
ings are not conducted solely by those
on the platform. The leaders com
mence the service with a prayer. The
massed congregation, however, does
not follow this leadership, hut Indi
viduals or groups of Individuals offer
a prayer suggested by personal
promptings until the whole becomes a
babel of Independent supplication with
“I have been a sufferer wltli In
digestion for over four year*, caus
ing distress after eating, wltli for
nmtlon of gus, heart burn and so
forth.
"This made me feel very miserable,
but six bottles of Peruna restored the
functions of my stomach until all
traces of dyspepsia had passed away.

enjoy excellent health.” Jenni*
