HUMORS OF MORE BONDS
Stories of an Impending Issue Are
Revived Again
A Tally in stocks in New York Friday
was attended by revived rumors of an im
pending new government bond issue It
was again alleged that representative
financiers have been in conference with
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Cur
tis on the subject
The story went that the tieasury offi
cials and president believed a bond issue
would soon be necessary and that the
bonds could be marketed to better ad
vantage now than later and that the po
litical effect of such a step would have
practically worn off by election time
The appearance of Mr Curtis at the
sub treasury lent color to the report es
pecially in view of the strong and active
market for government bonds Friday
Bankers usually identified with the
financial measures of the administration
and members of the old government bond
syndicate discredited the report

TEN WORKMEN DROWNED
Overcrowded Ferry Goes Down at
Cleveland Ohio
At least ten lives were lost in an acci
dent which occurred about 730 oclock
Thursday evening on the old river bed
near the ore docks of the Cleveland and
Pittsburg Railway Company at Cleveland
Ohio The ore handlers had just quit
work for the day and were waiting their
turns to cross the branch of the river on
the fiat bottom ferry boat which they had
provided for their own use A number of
the men had crossed When the ferry
reached the dock the last time at least
twenty men crowded upon it The boat
which is about IJ0 feet long and not more
than 4 feet wide would carry safely not
more than a dozen persons The stream
is not wide however and the hurrying
ore handlers had no thought of danger
The boat was pushed from the shore and
was being propelled across the stream
When it was about half way over it began
to sink Then as the men rushed to the
side it turned over All the occupants
were thrown into the water Those who
remained on the shore alarmed at the
capsizing of the little craft at once threw
life preservers and planks to the unfor
tunate men but most of them sank like
lead A few however managed to swim
ashore -while one or two were picked up
by a tug The first report of the accident
placed the number of dead at twenty two
but that proved to have been exaggerated
The life saving crew whose station is
near the scene of te accident was sum
moned at oncv and the work of recover
ing the bodies from the river was begun
Within half an hour seven corpses had
been laid side by side upon the dock
Later three more bodies were recovered

Distinguished Son of Massachusetts
Kpirea Suddenly of Heart Disease
Ex Gov William E Russell of Massa
chusetts died suddenly at the camp of
B F Duttou at St Adelaide Pabos Que
bec Gov Russell accompanied by his
brother Col Harry E Russell and Col
Francis Peabody Jr arrived there only
the day previous in search of rest He
had run down in health after the trying
scenes at the Chicago convention and his
friends urged upon him the necessity of a
rest in the backwoods and he accepted
the invitation of Mr Dutton to go to his
beautiful Canadian camp
On reaching St Adelaide the ex-Governor
appeared in good health and spirits
and the evening was spent in a social
way and in preparation for a fishing trip
the next day He and his companions re
tired early Col Russell was the first to
arise and whan ho called his brother he
received no answer He then attempted
to arouse him by shaking him where
upon he discovered that life had flown
The position of the body and the expres
sion on the dead mans face showed that
his death was painless
William Eustice Russell was born in
Cambridge on Jan G 1857 within the
shadow of the university from which he

early training in the public schools of
Cambridge in which he prepared for Har
vard College entering that institution in

of the international a w drake
union and the delegates came from Rev
E M Poteat of New Haven Conn
The preliminaries over General Secre
tary Dr Frank L Wilkins of Chicago
presented the annual report of the board
of managers In it he referred to the
fact that the total membership of the or
ganization exceeded 100000 one and all
young people enthusiastic in the work of
the church He pointed out that the Bap
tists allowed great liberty Every church
was left to its own discretion as to how
its young people should be organized
There were over 3500 Christian En
deavor societies in the denomination but
the fact that the Baptists were largely
enlisted in the interdenominational fel
lowship of Christian Endeavor did not
preclude their having a young peoples
denominational society of their own and
the fact was that a denomination that
numbered 4000000 adherents in Amer
ica had perhaps more reason than other
denominations for maintaining such an
organization He went back to the first
organization of the
union in Chicago in
1891 when 3000
delegates were pres
ent and commented
upon the phenome
nal growth of the so
ciety The address
was lengthy and re
peatedly applauded
Its adoption was
moved and seconded
by Rev Dr
der Blackburn of Cambridge Mass and
Rev W W Landrum of Richmond Va
and was carried unanimously
Some idea of what the leaders of the
assembly undertook may be gathered from
the fact that each days work began at
G30 in the morning and ended about 10
oclock at night with almost continuous
sessions throughout the day When the
convention was not in session at the ex
position hall the various churches of the
city were utilized for meetings each one
of which was in charge of some promi
nent minister or layman and transacted
business of importance to the body of
Baptist Unionists Even when the con
vention was occupying the great hall these
side meetings were kept up The subjects
treated of embraced every reJigious and
social and mora theory of life The men
Harrison carried the State by a plurality
of 30000 He retired from office at the
end of his third term and resumed the
practice of law
