No 18, sank from unknown cause twenty miles off Sheboygan. Wis., Friday It is declared one of the worst ma­ rine disasters in the history of Lake Michigan navigation. The boat was valued at 5400.000, and the cargo, which included thirty-two loaded cars, estimated to be worth $150,000 At the sacrifice of two of her own seamen, aud after terrible hours of struggle the steel car ferry Pere Mar­ quette No. 17, which went to the as­ sistance of So. 18. reached this port with three dead, and twenty-nine sur­ vivors of the crew of her lister ship. Twelve of the rescued were in one of the ship's boats, the remainder were clinging to the wreckage or floating about buffeted by the debris The catastrophe occurred approxi­ mately thirty miles off from Port ! Washington. No. 17, bound from Mil- | waukee for Ludington, reached the j wreck, Just as the No. 18 sunk out of j sight. Several miles away a lone j hoat was floundering in the surge and j swell of the waves, and on all sides were the shrieks and screams of thf> poor wretches soaked through and through with the almost ice-cold water and gripped by the strong winds. Only a few had time to drees.

TEN WORKMEN ARE DEAD, NINE INJURED IN ERIE RAILROAD TUNNELS. SOMEONE MADE A BLUNDER ILLINOIS GOAL STRIKE ENDS AGREEMENT REACHED BETWEEN MINERS AND OPERATORS. Twenty-Eight Laborers Arc Caught In Tubes Underneath Hundreds of Tons of Brick and Mortar---Nine Escape Uninjured. Jeriey City, N. J.--By the fall of hundreds of tons of Palisade rock through the broken roof of the old Erie railroad trunnels ten workmen were crushed to death Sunday and nine others were seriously injured, five of them nrobably fatally. The aead and injured formed part of a gang of twenty-eight hard rock men who were removing the moun­ tain of stone above the tunnels to transform them into open "cuts" as was recently completed on other tracks adjacent. Somebody either blundered in blasting which weakened the brick roof of the tubes, or there was an unsuspscted fault in the rock. The Erie tunnels were driven through the solid rock of the Palisades about fifty-three years ago and round­ ed with five courses of heavy brick, mortared. Two months ago. after three years' hard work, the Millard Construction company completed the opening of thw passenger tunnels now known as the Bergen cut.. The Erie company itself concludcd to open the freight tracks ou its own account and placed its own engineers and workmen in charge. West of the Hudson boulevard via­ duct there was a mass of rock to cut away about 110 feet deep down to the brick walls of the tunnels and about 125 feet long. Working in three shifts of eight hours each, the gangs !.ad cut down to the tunnels for a dis­ tance of more than 60 feet and they had removed all ihe upner work'to within 30 feet of the brick below. Twenty-eight men were employed In cleaning up the debris left by the drill­ ing and blasting wlien there came first a crashing report, then a sway­ ing and tossing of a soliJ rock, a thunderous reoort like a park of ar­ tillery and after that ther« was a churning and tossing of men as first the center tank and piece by piece great chunks of rock, some weighing tons, fell from the sides, grinding and crushing as they struck. Practically Every Demand of Men Is Granted--40,000 Workmen to Resume Work. Chicago. -- Forty-four thousand Illi­ nois coal miners will resume work at once after an idleness of more than five months as a result of an agree- | ment reached between the officials of | the mine workers and the Illinois Coal j Operators' dasooiatiuu. j Practically every demand of the men i has been granted. A contract exend- j ine up to April 1, 1912, was signed. ! The average Increase to the miners i in wages will amount to eight cents j per ton, or an aggregate of $4,000,000 annually. The installation of safety appliances and general betterments i which the operators agree to give the j men will increase the cosSt of putting coal on the market nearly 12 cents per ton. Of the 72,000 miners who quit work April 1, more than 28,000 already have signed up and assume work. The bal­ ance will begin active work so soon aB the mines can be jumped out and put into condition for operation. It 1 b thought that by the middle of next week every mine in the state will be in full operation. St^varal are In condi­ tion to start mining at once. It is estimated that the strike has caused a shortage of at least 20,000,- 000 tons; a loss In wages amounting to $15,J00,000, and a net loss to the operators of nearly $10,000,000.

Chicago, Sept. 13.--Ten men, five of them presidents of the most extensive packing companies in the world ana all of them directors of the National Packing company, which has been the special object of recent govern mental investigation, were indicted by the federal grand jury on a charge ot having violated the Sherman anti-trust act. Three indictments, the first one con taining five counts and the others one each, were returned before Judge Kenesaw M. Landis, who empaneled the grand jury two months ago. The men indicted are: J. Ogden Armour, president of Ar 1 mour & Co. Louis F. Swift, president of Swift & Co. Edward A. Tilden, president of the Natir.' Packing company and of the lirn. by, McNeil & Llbby. F I . A . Fowler, head of Fowlei Bros. Edward F. Swift, vice-president o. Swift & Co. Charles A. Swift, director of Swift & Co. Arthur Meeker, general manager for Armour St Co. Thomas J. Conners, superintended of Armour & Co. Louis H. Heyman, manager of Mor ris & Co. The maximum penalty for each vio lation of the Sherman act is a fine oi $5,000 or imprisonment for one year, or both. The indictments charge that all oi the defendants have engaged in a com­ bination in restraint of interstate trade in fresh meats, that they have engaged in a conspiracy in restraint oi tr^de and that they have monopolized the trade in fresh meats by unlawful means. The indictments cover 125 pages o; typewritten matter. They go into every angle of the packing industry in this country and contain the alleg. tion that 85 per cent, of the fresti meat consumed in the eastern, west em and middle southern states comet directly from the companies controlled by the defendants. The proportion of each concern in this trade is given as follows: Swift group of houses, 47 per cent.; Armour group, 40 per cent.; Morris group, 13 per cent. No bench warrants were asked and immediately after the grand jury had handed in the indictments it ad­ journed for the day. It is expected that the indicted men will appear in court and give bond, but if not, war rants for their arrest will be given to !he United States marshal. The amount of their bond has not been fixed, but It will probably be about $10,000. the name--Doan's. For sale by all dealers. 60 ce. box. Foster Mllburn Co., Buffalo, N. T. NOT THE TIME FOR THAT Scotsmen Objected to Mixture of Qbod Whisky and Religious Con­ versation. Owen Seaman, editor of Punch, was the principal guest at a dinner of th« London Authors' club recently, which was followed by a discussion on "Humor." Mr. Seaman began with a story deprecating the spoiling of good dinner Ipy any discussion at all. There were three characters in the story--a bluebottle and two Scots­ men. The story at once struck a note of probability by showing the Scots­ men drinking whisky. The bluebottle buzzed on the pane; otherwise si­ lence reigned. This was brokai by one of the Scotsmen trying 3p locate the blue­ bottle with zoological exactitude. Said the Scotsman: "Sandy, I'm thinking if yon fly is & birdie or a beastie." ^ .. Th8 other replied: "Man, don't spoil good whisky with y»11gious conversa­ tion." Shrewd Scheme Stopped Run. Many years ago, in consequence of a commercial panic, there was a severe run on ** in South Waioa and the small farmers jostled each other In crowds to draw out their money. Things were rapidly going from bad to worse, when the bank manager, la a fit of desperation, suddenly be­ thought him of an expedient. By his directions a clerk, having heated some sovereigns in a frying-pan, paid thesi over the counter to an anxious appli­ cant. "Why, they're quite hot!'- said the latter as he took them up. "Ot course," was the reply; "what els® could you expect? They are only just out of the mold. We are coining them by hundreds as fast as we can." "Coining them!" thought the simplo agriculturists; "then there is no fear of the money running short!" With this their confidence revived, the pan­ ic abated, and the bank was enabled - to weather the storm. English in London.

Tl PRESSED HARD. Coffee's Weight on Oid Ago. When prominent men realize the In­ jurious effects of coffee and the change In health that Postum can bring, they are glad to lend their testimony for the benefit of others. A superintendent of public schools in a Southern state says: "My moth­ er, since her early childhood, was an inveterate coffee drinker, had been troubled with her heart for a number of years and complfliued of that 'weak all over' feeling and sick stomach. "Some time ago I was making an of­ ficial visit to a distant part of the country and took dinner with one of the merchants of the place. I noticed a somewhat peculiar flavor of the cof­ fee, and asked him concerning it. He replied that it was Postum. I was so pleased with it that, after the meal was over, I bought a package to carry home with me, and had wife pre­ pare some for the next meal; the whole family liked it so well that we discontinued coffee and used Postum entirely. "I hsd really been at times very anxious concerning my mother's con­ dition, but we noticed that after using Postum for a short time, she felt so much better than she did prior to Its use, and had little trouble with her heart and no sick stomach; that the headaches were not so frequent, and her general condition much Improved. This continued until she was as well and hearty as the rest of us. "I know Postum has benefited my­ self and the other members of the fam­ ily, but in a more marked degree in the case of my mother, as she was m victim of long standing." read tfce «l»®ve lettert A Mt» trrai time t« Hm<>.
