CHICAGO, April 13. —Dennis Sheehan, the election judge who was arrested on a bench warrant, appeared before the election com- missioners and made a statement in re- gard to the breaking of the ballot box after the close of the polls. He said the ether election judges refused to open the box, and as he thought there was crooked work going on he opened it himself in the best way he could by smashing it. His defense was that if he did wrong he did it it in trying to do right. He had neve1 served as judge before and never wanted to again. At the suggestion of the assistant state’s attorney Sheehan was locked up in jail. After remaining in jail about an houi Sheehan gave bail in $1,000 for his appear- ance Tuesday and was released. Aftel Sheehan had made his statement to the election commission the board began the actual work of the canvass. Having com- pleted the canvass of the First ward the commissioners adjourned until 11 o’clock Monday. Comparing the official figures, which are subject to revision, Cregie1 gained eighty votes in the First ward, Hempstead Washburne and Morgan, the socialist candidate, one web, and Harrison lost two. Several warrants were sworn out late Saturday night before a justice 01 the peace for the arrest of alleged ballot box stufiers and those who intimidated voters at the polls. Constables are now in quest of the accused. FROM THE SEAT OF THE STRIKE. The Larger Operators Will Resume Work on Monday. MOUNT PLEASANT, Pa, April 13.—The Eighteenth regiment of the National Guard of Pennsylvania left the coke region at 12:30 Saturday afternoon. The Tenth regi- ment will remain in the field and will be redistributed at important points. The return of the troops caused very little anxiety, as it is now generally considered that the troubles are over and that the Tenth regiment will be able to cope with any possible outbreak. General Manage1 Lynch, of the Frick company, says that the strikers are virtually defeated, and re- ports the Jimtown, Adelaide and othel plants operating. The company has all the ovens in operation it desires at present._ A Scottdale telegram says that the special convention of strikers adjourned Saturday evening after adopting unani- mously a resolution to continue the strike. It is reported that the larger operators throughout the region will attempt to put their plants in operation Monday. Hun- dreds of eviction notices will be served on the occupants of company houses this week, and trouble will likely occur when an effort is made by the officers to take possession of the houses.

Peter Richard Kenrick, archbishop of St. Louis. But there is a still more importanl action to be taken by the high church ofli cials upon this occasion. It is understood that the formal nominating of the present venerable archbishop for the position 01 cardinal will be made. Just in what way action will be taken or the subject b1 brought before the distinguished body is not yet determined, but that it will come up for due consideration is an acknowl- edged fact.

The Rescued Party Arrives in Port on the Anglia—The Crew of the Lost Ves- sel Behaved Nohly, as Did the Sailors of British War Ships. NEW YORK, April 18.-—A part of the res- cued passengers of the steamship Utopia, which was sunk in collision with a British man-of—war off Gibraltar on March 17, the disaster resulting in the loss of over 500 lives, arrived here late Saturday after- : them were Banker W. T. Colbron, of this ' city, and a Miss M. Sohn, who Were among the Southern district of Illinois, who was appointed April 18, 1855. - nu; Fatally Burned. ELIZABETH, N. J ., April 13.—Miss Anna Conlon, residing on Lumber street, was? probably fatally burned Saturday night There had been a birthday party at the house in the evening, and it is believed that one of the guests upset a lamp. When rescued the unfortunate woman was lying l l on the bed surrounded by flames. l the few cabin passengers who were on the Utopia. D11. Colbron's Terrible 'Experience. Banker Colbron was returning from a trip through southern Europe when he met with his terrible experience. His traveling companion, George S. Davis was lost. Mr. Colbron gave a graphic story of the loss of the. Utopia and the ter- rible battle which he had to save his life. “The. night we arrived off Gibraltar,” said Mr. Colbron, “was a dark and stormy one. Just a few minutes before the col- lision Iwas in the cabin, looking out of the porthole and watching through the mist and fog the flickering lights of the ships anchored 1n the bay. Inoticed that we were approaching very close to the lights of a war vessel, which was anchored near us, but having confidence in our offi- cers I had no fear. Just as I was leaving the porthole window, preparatory to going on deck, I heard a terrible crash. The sound of that crash and the awful mo— ments of suspense which followed still ring in my ears. A Scene of COnfusion. “I rushed on deck, never dreaming that an awful disaster had overtaken our ship. When I got there the scene was something terrible. Immigrants, wild and frantic, filled the air with their piteous yells, louder than the roaring of .the wind and waves. . It was a scene of confusion and disorder. It was impossible to maintain even a sem- blance of discipline among the immigrants. Women with children in their arms Were ' making vain and heartrending appeals for some one to save them. Stout hearted men stood appalled and unable to lend a help- ing hand. To the credit of the Utopia’ s crew be it said that they behaved like true and brave sailors. The scenes of wild con- fusion so dazed me that for a time I could not realize the nature of the disaster. - The Only Woman Cabin Passenger. “A few minutes after I came on deck I was aroused from the sudden and terrible lethargy that had overtaken me by the shouts of the second oflicer. Clinging to his arm was the only woman cabin passen- ger, a Miss Sohn, of this city. The second officer rushed aft, got a life preserver, put it on the young lady and told her to jump for her life. Then it was that I began to appreciate the seriousness of the accident. Glancing over the starboard rail I noticed a big gash' 1n the steamer’ 5 side. The bulk- head had been torn away and the water was rushing into the steamer’ s hold. I rushed aft and grasped a life preserver, but. in my excitement jumped overboard with- out putting it on. “As I jumped I saw Miss Sohn making a brave struggle for life. As I fought with the monster waves I took a glance toward the sinking ship. About me peo- ple were struggling in the surging seas, but the yells and cries that came from those standing on the sinking ship, momentarily 1 expecting to be engulfed, were something appalling. The Sinking of tlie Ship. “N ever shall I forget that. awful cry that went over Gibraltar’s bay. as the Utopia went down with her decks and rig- ging filled with human beings. IVhen the ship sunk, stern first, carrying with her 500 people, the stillness that came over the scene of the disaster was something op- pressive. “As soon as the collision occurred all the British war vessels turned their flash lights across the scene of wreck and desolation. “The water was filled with people strug- gling for life. After I had been in the water about ten minutes I saw a boat from one of the war vessels approaching me. Just at that moment a big black dog,which was the property of Captain McKnight, came swimming toward me too. The look of pity that the .dumb animal gave me was pathetic to witness. up both me and the dog. Taken on Board the Flagship. “I was taken aboard the flagship Cam- perdown, where the admiral gave me every attention and kindness. Miss Sohn, who was picked up shortly after, was also taken aboard the Camperdown. .The. efforts of the crew and oflicersof the British vessel to rescue the Utopia’s people were persist- ent and heroic. All who were rescued were saved by the boats from the war vessels. One hundred and forty of the-rescued immigrants were sent back to Italy, and .150 came here on the Anglia. Some bodies which were recovered were buried at Gib- :raltar. But when the corpses began float- ‘ing ashore by the hundreds they were put :in sheets and carried out to Sea in barges :for burial. My companion. Mr. Davis, was carried down with the Utopia.” The official interpreter of the Utopia, A. Cosnuccetta, also arrived on the Anglia. §His story was ‘simila1 to that told by Banker Colbron. Miss Sohn would not talk of her experience. The Anglia brought the official list of those who were lost. It includes the names of Third Officer McCull, who belonged: in Brooklyn, where his widow resides. Mrs. .McCull, since the wreck of the Utopia, has been uncertain about the fate of her hus- band. Colonel l’Vcber said that the sur- vivors of the Utopia, who were destitute and without baggage, but who were able- bodied, would be permitted to land. 1 Another Charge Against Harris.
