PANIC ON A STEAMER.
Explosion Occurs on British Vessel
Cairnrona. I
An explosion early Friday morning
on the British steamer Cairnrona off
Dungeness , Eng. , wrecked the wo-
men's quarters , killing one child and
injuring : va number of women and
children. The steamer caught ftre
and a panic ensued , in which mon
fought for the possession : ef the boats
and had to be beaten back by the
crew to allow the women to be taken
off first.
A large number of passengers were
landed at Dover Friday evening ,
many of them in an exhausted condi-
tion. In all twenty were seriously In-
Jured and not less than fifty were
slightly injured by the explosion and
the panic that followed it. The Cairn-
rona sailed from London to Portland.
She carried 200 passengers , for the
most part emigrants and a general
cargo. Fortunately the steamers Up-
land and Kanawha were near when
the Cairnrona caught fire. They
stood by and took off several hundred
passengers and landed them at Dover.
Several of the first class passengers
and American cattlemen gave thrill-
ing details of the accident. A number !
of women with children in their arms
were sitting on the hatch when a vio-
lent explosion hurled them to all parts
of the deck. Some of them were <
shockingly injured and one child wa.s
killed. The hatch was blown to frag-
ments.
A terrific panic ensued. The emi-
grants , mostly Russians , were running
up and down , screaming and wrins-
ing their hands. Their horror was
increased by the volumes of smoke
which poured from the burning hold.
BANK : CLOSES ITS DOORS.
Another Brooklyn Institution Forccd
to Suspend.
The Borough Bank of Brooklyn , N.
Y. , closed its doors Friday and the
superintendent of banks has taken
possession of the institution's business.
The bank has a capital of $200,000 ,
with deposits aggregating over $2-
000,000. B. R. Shears is president of
the institution. This is the second
bank failure in Brooklyn within a
week the first being the Union banI\ : ,
of Brooklyn.
Superintendent Cheney said that the
conditions attending the closing of the
bank were Almost identical with those
which led to the closing of the Union
bank.
As was the case with the Union
bank the Borough was obliged to sus-
pend during the panic of 1907 and
was ; reorganized later. The new man-
agement was obliged to assume lia-
bilities which have been a heavy load ,
and the suspension of the Union bank
had a bad effect on the Borough ,
which was known to be in the same
position.

AMAZING RACE SWINDLE.
"Con" Man's Arrest Reveals Startlli
Story.
For lavish stage setting , workma -
like execution and ample financing :
the story of a racing swindle as told
the New York police Wednesday night
by Henry Wagner , senior member ot
a firm of billiard table manufacture
of New York , has no equal.
Th Btory came out with the arrt .
of a man who gave his name as John
Brown 68 years old , and described
himself as a broker and speculator ,
but who , the police say is George C.
Rockwell , alias George C. Hammond ,
alias "Old Joe" Eaton , a noted con-
fidence man.
Late last month Wagner met a man
representing himself to be Alfred San-
ford , private secretary to a Pennsyl-
vania millionaire with money to
spend on coal lands. , Would Wagner
take an option on 2,000 acres at $7 :
an acre ? He could sell at a huge
profit. The secretary lacked funds
to finance the deal himself. A trip to
Baltimore followed , where entered the
"millionaires" including "H. H. Rog- ;
ers , jr. , " "Col. Moffett " of Colorado ,
one Palmer and one Marshall. From
Balti ' \ re the entire party journeyed
to J. onville , Fla. , by private car-
all on the millionaires-and at the
racetrack was heavy betting "between
friends" in which the victim was not
asked to join.
Indeed his conscience was soothed
by his being made stakeholder until
at one time he held 106000. His
draft for $10,000 was obligingly cash-
.
ed and he generously loaned the mon- ,
ey to one of the crowd to fill out a
$20,000 bet. Then came the getawa
CASH GRAIN HOUSE SUSPENDS
Failure of W. H. Merrltt & Co. Is Duo
to the Decline in Corn.
Suspension of the cash grain house
of W. H. Merritt & Co. was announced
on the Chicago board of trade Wee
nesday. Customers were notified to
close out their trades.
W. H. Merritt & Co. has for man
years been one of the most important
firms in the cash grain trade and the
failure caused great surprise.
The reasons for the suspension are
closely analogous to those which on
Monday forced another cash grain
house-the Burns-Yantis
- - company-
to suspend namely , the decline in
corn prices recently. Eastern CUE tom-
ers of the Merritt company ha\"ing ,
bought at the high price for later de
livery , are said to have repudiated !
their contracts when the market de
ilmed.
This forced the brokers to seek oth-
er outlets for their grains and while
holding it much of it "went hot , " or
in other words , rotted. A member of
the : firm declared that creditors would
be paid in full.

MAY CONDONE , SUMMER BALL.
Steps Being Taken at Nebraska Unl-
Terslty to Remove Ban.
The Nebraska Athletic board prob-
ably will take some radical action
in regard to summer base ball at its
next meeting and openly sanction the 1
playing of its athletes on professional ;
teams during the vacation months.
The matter is now being discussed by
the Cornhusker mentors and the at- ;
titude of a majority the board is
in favor of permitting summer base
ball by all college players in this sec- <
tion of the country. The five student
members have openly declared them- :
selves in favor of the proposition and
two faculty members openly admit
that they see no wrong in allowing
the men to earn money during vaca-
tion by playing base ball.
One member of the board has ex-
pressed himself in the following
words :
"I have never been able to regard
summer base ball as an evil and I am
free to admit that I am in sympat
with the college athletes who try to
earn money during vacations by tak-
ing part in professional , or rather ,
semi-professional , games. There is
no evil in allowing them to do so , and
the ant'-summer base ball cranks can
not give a single solid argument in
favor of their case.
"The athletic board of the west
might just as well officially recognize
the summer base ball playing as to
secretly condone it as they do now at
every college in the country. In the
western athletic conferences we have
rules against summer base ball , but I
am certain that there Is not a school
in either the Missouri Valley or Chi-
cago conferenece league that does >
not have several of its players on
semi-professional teams each summer.
I , myself , know of many college men
who played the so-called professional ;
ball last year and several years be- <
fore.
Nebraska has a precedent for its
action in the course adopted by Col-
gate recently in stating that all its
players should be allowed to become
members of semi-professional teams
in order to earn money during the .
summer months.
MADISON ELOPERS CAPTURED.
May Lyons Returns to Her Home and

afternoon. It was DuBois' intention ;
to do so also , but he was detained at

on > the charge of jumping his board
bill. > He promptly paid this and then

BUSH HAS CRIMINAL RECORD.
lun Captured with Stolen Team Con
vlcted of Murder at Chadron.
It now developes that Ernest Bush ,
the young man who was captured at
Central City with a team of horses ;
belonging ' to a party from Council
Bluffs , and taken back there to ans-
wer to the charge of horse stealing , is
a criminal out of the state peniten-
tiary on parole. In 1899 it seems he
was employed by a farmer near Chad-
ron , and an old man was employed
with him. One day while the farmer
was away from home Bush killed the
old man , hitched a horse to his body
and dragged it to a creek. His crime
was discovered and he received a life
sentence in the penitentiary. In 1906
he was paroled , and has been under

He was but 16 years of age when he
murdered the old man at Chadron.
