A
ONE WAS SAVED.
A. Survivor of the Wrecked Steamer
Vernon Besened from a Raft, Alter
Spending Sixty Hoars in the Water
Hi* Version ot the CatastropheFifty
Persons were Aboard the Doomed Tea*
ael.
STCBQEON BAT, Wis., Nov 2.Up to the
arrival of the schooner Pomeroy from Chi
cago, which passed through the bay yester
day, it was supposed that not a single sur
vivor was lefc of the forty or flfby people
who were on the propellor Vernon when
she went down off Sheboygan early last
Saturday morning. It Is now known, how
ever, that at least one man lives to tell the
tale of that terrible night on Lake Michi
gan. The Pomeroy has on board the
only survivor, so far as now known,
of that awful disaster The name of
the man who has thus been rescues,
from death after he had given up
all hope of ever again setting his foot upon
dryland is Alfred Stone. He is from Chi
cago and is one of the Vernon's crew: He
had been in the water atty hours, exposed
to a bitter, pierc ng wind, and without a bite
to eat, when the Pomerov discovered him
on a raft Monday night about eight miles
from Sheboygan. It was a clear, moonlight
night Stone was so cold as to be almoBt
helpless and so weak from hunger that he
could scarcely move. Although still very
weak from the effects of his awful experi
ence Stone was able to make a brief state
ment of the never-to-be-forgotten ghfc
Said he:
"I was awakened in the middle of the night
by the cries of the passengers and crew that the
vessel was sinking. I sprung out of the window
and found myself on a life raft with six
other persons, I can not say now who my
companions were Part of them were mem
bers of the crew and part were passen
gers It seemed only a moment belore the ves
sel had gone dowc, and I believe that all but a
few of those on board went down with her. On
the steamer there were twenty five passengers
and twenty Ave of a crew, all told. Two pas
sengers were taken on at Sheboygan, the bal
ance at Point St Ignace There were among
the passengers six ladies No children were
on board They were mostly bound for Chicago.
"We passed through an awful night I think
I never saw such a sea aathat which tossed our
little raft at its mercy When daylight
came we hoisted a signal of distress,
using a coat tied to an oar Two ves
sels passed so near us on Saturday that
they must have seen our signal, yet for some
reason they apparently made no effort to reach
us. The storm still raged, and it may be that
they had all they could do to save themselves.
'One after another of my companions per
ished in the cold or was washed oft the raft
when he became too numb with the cold to
hold on any longer We never saw any others
from the sunken steamer, and I don believe
that any others survived The vessel went
down so suddenly that the crew hadn't time
to man the boats
Saturday, he says, was bitterly oold, and
the only way he could keep from freezing
was by moving about As it was, his feet
were quite badly frozen He had on a life
preserver, cork underwear, breeches, Mack
inaw shirt, blouHe, coat and shoea This
warm clothing, together with his strong
phys que, doubtless saved his lifa
He talked with the crew on the raft before
they died, and they all seemed to attribute
the wreck to the overloading of the vessel
and the non-closmg of the gangways, to
gether with the puttin? out of one of the
fires Friday night The second fire went out
about an hour ifter the first The boat did
not carry any canvas, and when the fires
were out ran before the wind.

ST Loins, Nov LThree buildings were
wrecked, sixteen persons buried burning

killed, by the explosion of some unknown
but powerful explosive Michael New

o'clock yesterday morning After the
explos on fire broke out in the
ruins, adding- its horrors to the calamity.
Rescuers weie soon on the spot and the
hands of firemen and policemen were soon

removed, The dead are

The store was on the corner of the alley
running tnrongu from Fourteenth to Tar
gee street, and \sas the north room of the
building over Aoa 7, 9 and 11 South Four
teenth street The building, a two-story
brick, was completed but short time ago,
and only one store was occupied. All of
the up-stairs portion was divided
Into tenements. Mr Newman and his
family of seven lived over the store The
force of the explosion was terrific, the en
tire block ot buildings north of and across
the alley from the building in which the
explosion tqok place were gutted by the
blast Two ladiea,Newman'8 daughters,were
first removed. Neither cun survive The rest
of the Newman family, five in number,
were dead. Some sat upr ght and others
Were doubled in their beds, killed in their
Bleep.
Besides, those persons injured in this
build ng, were many persons in the neigh
borhood more or less cut or bruised, fox
the flying splinters and bricks did not
alone destroy the Newman store For
Several blocks on either side of the streets
the concussion shattered the windows and
in the immediate vicinity in the opposite
Bide of the way the front of buildings were
smashed in by the terrible iorce, and scarce
ly a window or a door lemains. Walla
cracked, floors gave way and plaster fell in
almost every house within a radius of a
hundred yards.
There are many theories to explain the
cause of the explosion, but none are satis
factory. The crowd that pressed around
the scene excitedly talked of Anarchists
and dynamite, but men of sense
discountenanced this idle prattle. The
general belief is that es capmg gas filled the
cellar, and that Mr Newman kept a
quantity of kerosene oil and gaso
line in the cellar near where the explosion
evidently took place The rapid fire and the
fumes while it burned indicate this. The
vessels and the oil, if there was
any, have been destroyed, and the
only man that knows is dead.

RIDING A PICK-A-PACK.
Sow the IJttle Ones of Many Animals
Are Carried by Their Parents.
Among our Indian tribes we invari
ably see the pappoose swung to the
mother's back or carried in the way
called pick-a-pack, and it is curious to
note how many of the lower animals
transport their little ones in the same
way, oftentimes when it requires no
little effort on the part of the parent
One of the most interesting animals I
have ever seen was a large South
American ant-eater the long-nosed,
bushy-tailed fellow which walks upon
the side of its feet, so long are its
claws, who se scientific name is myrme
cophaga jubata. I stood upright,
peering at me with its small bead-like
eyes, its great tail completely cover
ing its back like an umbrella, and as I
watched the curious creature I became
aware of another pair of eyes and an
other long nose just above the head
of the large one and it soon
dawned upon me that the ant
eater had a little one, and that it was
perched upon the mother's back,
completely concealed by the long
bushy tail that was spread over it like
a canopy. And this was the way the
baby, and sometimes two was carried
about Th great tail serves a double
purpose: it not on ly covers and hides
the young when upon the mother's
back, but it protects the ant-eater her
self, giving her the appearance of a
great bush.
While the ant-eater is a slow-going,
clumsy beast, it is an enemy to be
dreaded at close quarters, the long,
sharp claws being terrible weapons. I
have been informed that on one occa
sion a native saw an ant-eater carry
i ng its young pick-a-pack, as I have
described, and thinking to secure it
for dinner, as the little fellows are
considered great delicaeies, he ap
proached and attacked it with his
spear, when without warning the ani
mal sprang at him, the babies rolling
off as she struck the unfortunate
man so powerful a blow
with her claws that he was instantly
killed, Th claws of the anteate
are its only weapon, being long, sharp
and powerful, to enable it to tear open
the great ant-hillsT It mouth is ex
tremely small, and at the end of along
pointed snout, while the tongue is of
remarkable length and perfectly adapt
ed for the wo rk it has to perform,
In South America another animal,
the sloth, carries its young in the same
manner. The brown bear of Asia
carries its young pick-a-pack, and
when walking along sedately bearing
the pubs, one or two, upon its back, it
presents a very curious appearance.
In equatorial Africa hunters often see
young animals in curious positions.
Once when a party had crept up to
a lake in the hope of finding a herd of
elephants, they saw instead, some
twenty or thirty feet from the shore, a
large baby hippopotamus that seemed
to be actually standing on the water,
its huge clumsy feet resting upon
it The hunters supposed
that it was on a sand
bar, but as it soon began to move away
without any motion of the feet it be
came evident that the thousand-pound
baby was upon its mother's back. I
rose gradually higher and higher, and
as the old one moved up the bank it
was seen to be standing on her broad
back, being carried up and down
stream in this way
Among our own comparatively fa
miliar animals we find a most inter
esting example of pick-a-pack riding.
The common opossum of the South,
the only pouched animal of this coun
try, first carries its young in a pouch
but when they are well grown and
capable of running about th ey take
their places upon her back and cling
there, sometim es six or seven, present
i ng a very animated appearance, their
little black eyes glisteni ng and the lit
tle ears erect Th little opossums
have a peculiar way of holding on in
this having an advantage over al
most all other animals. Their tails
are what is called prehensile, or ha ve
the faculty of clinging to any object
tike the tail of the so-called ring-tailed
monkey} so when they leap upon the
mother's back they clasp their tail
about hers and so retain their hold
the mother bending her tail over
her back so that all may ha ve a
secure grasp, and in this way the fam
ily travels about among the tree-tops
in seareh of food.
Nearly all the monkeys carry their
young in their arms, and they are often
seen astride of-the neck, peering ov er
the mother's shoulder in a comical
way. The whale wi}l pften support
her young her back, and I remem
her an, instance where %^ali|orn|a|fee trajnin^ofniirsesf*
whale and calf were followed in shore
the latter, wounded by the whalers, waft
floundering about and sinking, ulti
mately to be drowned when the devoted
mother rushed to the rescue, and placing
herself under the enormonababy Ufted
it up near the surtaee so thai jit rested
upon her back, and actually endea v
ored to carry it off in this position*
falling a victim to the bomb of the
whalers while attempting the rescue..
The sea otter, that is found in the
same waters, is also nofeclfor the qare
of its young, the little ones being carried
about in every conceivable' position.
They are often fonnd in the great kulp
beds that lie between the breakers and
the shore in some part*} of the Pacific
coast The gigantic Weed, breaks the
force of the waves, and forms a partial
resting-place. Here $h otters ate
often seen lying upon^their backs or
swimming about, bearing their little
ones, and sometimes tossing themlnte
the air just as humagfe mothers toss
their babies to hear 'their shouts of
merriment m^^J
The dugong, with i grotesque, al
most human face, supports its young
upon its flippers, and v|his occurrence
is probably the origin, of many of the
tales of mermaids which so many of
the ancient works contain. The old
voyagers, seeing theW curious figure
half out of the water, holding the
young in so human a position, readily
believed it to be the mermaid of which
they had heard. w^-
There is hardly abranch of the*ani
mal kingdom in which, we can not find
some creature whose* little ones ride
pick-a-pack. Th young scorpions as
soon as born crawl upon their mother,
covering her with a jbjistling array of
claws and tails, so |9iat she is often
completely hidden, and terrible to
i elate, they soon devour her for her
pains.
Many spiders ride libout upon their
parent's back, and when th ey are dis
posed to stray away first fasten a
thread of silk to her, as a sort of apron

The mother spiders) are particularly
careful of their young, and when

The First and tast Sunrise Which I*s
Bonnibel- Saw.
Bonnibel remembers one morning
on waking that she has in the course
of her life seen certainly not more
than half-a-dozen sunrises, and she
doesn't really think it is so many.
And those were all of them accidental
either because she was sick a4

or five, or some such dreadful hour, to
catch a train. Now to appreciate a
sunrise, the body should be free from

her fingers fastening a final

delicious, is the autumn air. Th
flowers are just opening a few buds
even shyly unclose while she is looking
at them. Th many colored morning

"I heartily appreciate all edit trial

infinitely more numerous than formeily
and seem to be almost forced upon
them. -r
Take a special case, which recently
came under my immediate observa

the game was taken as a tantamount
confession of weakness, and he soon
