Stockton, Cal., Nov. 28.—The most dis
astrous river accident iu the history of
Stockton occurred at 1:20 yesterday morn
ing near Fourteen Mile slough, when a
part of one of the boilers of the river
steamer T. C. Walker, which left San
Francisco the night before, was blown out.
killing six and dangerously wounding 10
persons, while probably 15 or 20 others
"ere more or less badly hurt. The T. C.
Walker is owned by the California Navi
gation and Improvement Company and
ran bet" een San Francisco anti .Stockton.
PiiNsenKera Were In lied.
The majority of the passengers were iu
bed when the explosion occurred and " ere
awakened by the report, which was as
loud as a cannon s roar. People rustled
Iront their room's in their night clothes
and found the whole forward portion of
the steamer's upper works blown away.
The electric lights had been put out and
the escaping steam eueloped the front
portion of the boat until it was impossible
to see how much of the boat had been
carried away. The screams of the men
who «ere locked in their rooms near the
pilot house "ere heartrending. Captain
John Tulan had been blown from his bed
against the door of the stateroom and so
seriously' injured that lie could not move.
The door could not be forced open, as he
was jammed up against it.
One of the employes of the boat se
cured an ax and cut the upjier part of the
room away and finally removed him, but
not until he was virtually roasted alive.
When pulled out the llesii dropped from
his bones in large pieces, and, although
he was suffering excruciatingly, he boro
it bravely and not a groan escaped him
as he was taken out of the steam.
Illown Through the Hoof.
Watson 11. Henry, the chief engineer,
and his wife were iu their room near tiie
pilot house when the explosion occurred.
Airs. Henry was blown through the roof
The flooring "as blown upwards and she
was hurled with great violence a distance
of fully 2U feet towards the bow of the
boat. She was horribly crushed by' the
force of the explosion and also badly
scalded with escaping steam. Her in
jurits proved fatal at 12:30 iu the aftei
noon. She retained consciousness until a
few moments before her death. Her suf
ferings "ere so intense that she begged
the physicians in attendance to end lier
life, but all that could be done was to
deaden the pain by the use of narcotics.
Air. Henry was terribly' scalded. lie
was thrown some distance away, but not
as far as was his wife. He died shortly
after being brought to this city'.
W. A. Blunt was instantly killed. He
was standing ou the lower deck, us he in
tended making a landing a short distance
above the place where the explosion oc
curred.
Jerry Daly, the fireman, was in the file
hole when the accident occurred. The es
caping steam completely enveloped him,
scarcely a portion of his body escaping
the searing vapor. He died at the receiv
ing hospital at 12:15 in the afternoon.
He wasi'in the employ of the California
Navigation and Improvement Company
for about 14 years.
Deek Hands Imprisoned.
Underneath the lower deck where the
deck hands slept groans and screams
were heartrending of the unfortunate im
prisoned men who "ere receiving the full
effect of the steam as it came from the
boilers. Flight of them " ere almost roast
ed alive. Those who were able made
their way to the deck as best they could,
while the more seriously injured were
unable to get out. The exposed portions j
of their bodies suffered the most. The I
arms and faces of those near the main !
entrance were frightfully scalded.
The property loss will not exceed
12000.
OUR GIRLS STUDY FARMING.
The Farmer Will Have Something
Sew to Kick Abouts
Fifty girls are students of farming at
the oollcge of agriculture, Minneapolis
They lake the complete course, the same i
as the men. It seems strange tliat more
worn off do not turn to agriculture as a
trained pursuit They already sustain
half t|e labors of farming in the house
keeping department, and it should offer
a profitable vocation to capable women
placed iu full charge. The course at
Minndjfixdis covers a term of three years
with Special instruction in housekeeping,
this taking the place of blacksmithing,

The rebels in Chung Kiang. according
to advices by the Glenogle, are increasing
in power daily. The Tung Liang & How
Chow railroad is completely under their
control. They have compelled well-to-do
people to provide them with money and
provisions and are making weapons day

dropped rapidly. It looked this morning
as though the blizzard w ould continue 'all

storm ceased altogether, and the severest
blizzard since the memorable blizzard of
March, 1888, came to an end.
The wind blew at the rate of 59 to 60

After almost a year of dickering the
British America Corporation last week|^
closed the deal hv which it will become
absolute master of the Le Roi mine in
Russland. The Turner stock passes into,
the hands of the corporation to the extent
of 205,000 share*. The price will be $7.25
per share, or $1,486,250 in money, and the
vendors of the stock will be allowed the
cleanup at the smelter, which it is vari-|last
oiislv estimated will net from $150,000 to
$200,000. It is considered safe to say
that the price all told will he $8 net to
the members of the minority faction. ^
Reorganization of the directory of the
I f Doi company was effected, and the
British America Corporation is now in
control of the property. At the meeting
of tiic trustees the resignations of the foi
lowing members of the board were pre
sented and accepted: \ aient ine 1 ey ton, I.
N. l'eyton, .). A1. Armstrong, \V. J- U.
Wakefield and 1). M. Henley. They were
all members of the majority, or the l'cy
ton faction as it was known during the
most stormv period of Le Roi history
Thpv (1 id not resign office at the time of
disjiosing of their stock to the Britisn
America Corporation, it being understood
at that time that they would continue to
serve until it suited the interests of the
British America Corporation to have
them resign.
In the stead of the gentlemen who re
I signed the following were elected: C. H.
Mackintosh. T. Mayne Daly and Edwin
Durant of Rosslanfl and \Y. B. Heyburn
and George Turner of Spokane. The other
members of the board holding over are
\V. J. Harris, \Y. W. D. Turner, Frank
Graves and \V. M. Ridpatli. The board
as reorganized will remain in office until
the annual meeting, which takes place
January 12, 1899.
Au ldnbo Strike.
The Mascot Mining Company, operating
on I!uM creek, in the Pierce district, Ida
ho. has struck it rich—a mill test of 40
tons netting 271 ounces of gold, which
was brought to Kendrick by Captain E.
E. Rodgers, manager of the company. The
results have eluted the operators, and
work lias been commenced on a 200-foot
tunnel, which will open up a large body
of ore. The company lias a sawmill and
an amalgamator at Kendrick and will
push the development work all winter.
Captain Rodgers showed a sample of the
ore that had 1 m*cii subject to test that
showed considerable chloride of gold, an
element that was not known to exist in
the ore of that district in paying quanti
ties.
Hniilil Work on Tunnel.
The Bunker Hill and Sullivan's Kellogg
tunnel is making more rapid progress
than any tunnel has ever made in the
Coeur d'Alenes. It is now in over a mile
and is adding 12 feet to its length as reg
ularly as each day conies around. No
very hard risk has been encountered
thus far, nor has there been any sign of
mineral wealth. It was commonly e\

A Grub Sinke Suit
The Big Buffalo claim, the original lo
cation which caused the stampede and
excitement in tli^ Florence district of
Idaho last August, is to be the subject of
a grubstake lawsuit. J. N. Rice of Flor
ence was in Spokane a few days since,
and engaged the services of W. B. Hey
burn to bring suit against Rigley, one of
the ■ locators of the property, claiming
that he is entitled to half of Rigley s lo
cations during 1898 through having grub
staked the prospector. He claims to have
documentary evidence that he paid for
the outfit which Rigley was using at the
time the discovery of the Big Buffalo
claim was made. The property involved
U of immense value, ii being stated upon
good authority that Captain Delamar's
expert offered $500,000 for the claim a few
weeks ago. The owners would not sell at

Paris, Nov. 29.—There is no denying
that the whole European continent will
bitterly resent American acquisition of

confined to diplomats, but, especially here

Doarii in the highest French society. It is

Americans in eastern waters is a disturb

APPLES GOOD AS MEDICINE.
Tbry Are Both Healthful and Fleaa
ant for Food.
Chemically, the apple is composed of,
vegetable filier, albumen, sugar, gum.
chlorophyll, malic acid, gallic acid, lime
and much water. Furthermore, the apple
contains a huger percentage of phos
phorous than uny other fruit or vegetable.
This phosphorus is admirably adapted
for renewing the essentia) nervous mat
ter, lethicin, of the grain and spinal cord.
It is perhaps for the same reason, rudely
understood, that old Scandinavian tra
ditions represent the apjile as the fis sis
of the gods, who, when they felt them
selves growing feeble and infirm, resorted
to this fruit for renewing their powers
of mind and body. Also the acids of the
apple are of great use for men of seden
tary habits, whose livers arc sluggish in
action, these aeids serving to eliminate
from the body noxious matters, which it
retained would make the brain heavy and
dull, oi- bring about jaundice or skin erup
tions and other allied troubles. Borne
suth experience must have led to our
custom of taking apple sauce with roast
pork, rich goose, ami like dishes. The
malic acid of ripe apples, either raw or
cooked, will neutralize any excess of
chalky meat. It is also a fact that such
freth fruits as the apple, the pear and the
pliun, when taken ript, and without
sugar, diminish acidity in the stomach,
rataer than provoke it Their vegetable
sails and juices ure converted into alka
line carbonates, -which tend to counteract
acidity. A ripe, raw apple is one of the
easpst vegetable substances for the stom
ach to deal with, the whole process of Dio
digestion being completed in 85 minutes.

PAY TO WEAR THE BREECHES.
Women In France Are Permitted ta
Wear Trousers.
They allow women to wear male attira
in France, hut they are taxed for tlha
privilege. The F'rench government charge»
women $10 to $12.50 jier year for wearing
the trousers. This, however, doe* not
give every woman w ho is willing to pay
the tax a right to wear such garment*.
The government conféra the right as a
tribute to great merit, and makee it, in
faet, a sort of decoration given to women
as the ribbon of the Legion of Honor is
given to nu*n. The only women to whom
lias been granted the right to wear mala
attire ure Georges Sand, Rosa Bonheur,
Mme. lWeulafoy, the Persian archaeolo
gist; Mine. Foucolt, the bearded woman,
and two feminine sculptors, Mme. Four
neau and 1 m Jeanette. How jealously
the right of wearing male attire by wom
en in France has i>een guarded may ha
seen in the recent ease of Mme. de Val
»ayre. This lady is well known for her
propensity to tight duels, and her efforts
to get elected to the French assembly,
latst year she petitioned the government
for a right to wear men's clothes, but
the French authorities refused her peti
tion. She is a pretty woman with a
profusion of blonde hair.
