EIGHT PERSONS ARE MISSING This Number May Be Increased—How thl Accident Occurred—Most of the Pas- sengers Escaped by Jumping to ‘ the Tugboat Alongside. CINCINNATI, March 9.—The big steam- boat Longfellow, en route from Cincinnati to New Orleans, which left here today with more than 100 passengers on board, struck the pier of the Chesapeake and Ohio rail- road bridge, sinking immediately. Eight persons are reported to have been drowned. The Longfellow sank in 30 feet of water. When Opposite the Marmet coal landing at the foot of Smith street, she struck the channel span of the bridge and sank within three minutes. The pilot in charge says the fog was so dense when she struck that he was unable to see the pier. The steamboat literally went to pieces immediately after the collision. The bow of the boat sank, while the cabin and stern floated away. The body Of James Miller, a porter, has been found. The missing are: Captain John L. Por- ter. chief clerk, of Newport, Ky.; David Albright, a passenger, Rome, N. Y.; Gus Scheven, barkeepcr, New Orleans; M. Russell. deckhand, Cincinnati; —-- Rear- den, deckkand. Cincinnati; unknown wo—' man. an invalid, from New York, and her physician, Dr. Anderson, also of New York. . The real cause of the accident, it is said, was the fact that the boat, like the ill fated steamboat State of Missouri, was so unwieldy that she became unmanageable, ‘ and the pilots were powerless to control her. A Very Heavy Fog. River men say the fog was so thick this morning that the boat should not have started. It was decided, however, by the owner of the White Collar line, which owns the boat, to send her out, and the towboat Hercules Carrel was sent out to aid her in passing below the bridges. The Carrel was secured to the stern of the Longfel- low, and both boats passed down the river to a point about 50 yards above the Chesa- peake and Ohio bridge, where the Longfel- low became entirely unmanageable. Watchers on the shore say that the .boat’s how was pointed directly for the Kentucky shore, and when fully 50 yards distant it was seen that a collision was in- evitable. '* The Carrel swung around, and the strain almost caused the hawsers to part, but they held fast for the time being, and it was thought for a moment that collision . could be averted. Many of the passengers were in their staterooms engaged in sorting out their baggage and preparing for the long trip. The shrill blasts of the whistles on both the Carrel and the Longfellow were the ~ first warnings of any danger, and the doors of the staterooms were hurriedly thrown open, while the passengers gath- ered together on the front part of the cabin deck. The fog was so dense that they could see nothing, and few of them were aware of the actual danger. The officers were cool and collected and retained their presence of mind for the most part. The crew were summoned in front of the boiler deck, and preparations were rapidly made for remov- ing the passengers, many of whom were women, to the Carrel, which was still moored alongside. A Terrific Crash. The sound when the boat struck could be heard for several squares along the river front. A moment later the river was black with floating wreckage and freight. The passengers had escaped to the Carrel, and when the collision occurred the hawser broke, while the Carrel drifted to the Ken- tucky side of the pier. ' The wreck‘ sank quickly, and three min- utes later scarcely 'a vestige remained. The number of missing and dead so far as known by the boat’s agents is eight, but this number may be increased when the floating wreckage is overhauled. There were about 40 passengers on the boat, a crew of 52 and about 20 laborers. Noneof the latter are known, as they were only shipped for the River and Transfer company, a short distance below the Ches- apeake and Ohio bridge. Even the number of laborers is not known, and therefore it is impossible to ascertain whether or not any are missing. Two Policemen Shot. CHICAGO, March 9. —Policemen Joseph Carney and Patrick Finley of the Maxwell Street station were shot by three highway- men today. Finley, who attempted to ar- rest the men, was shot through the right hand. As- the footpads fled one of them shot Carney, the bullet taking efl'ect in the left hip. William O’Keefe, one of the footpads, was arrested. Uniting Against Chicago.

HAYWARD CONVICTED. The Dramatic Closing Scenes In the Re- markable Murder Trial In Minneapolis. MINNEAPOLIS, March 9.—-Today the last words of Judge Smith’s charge to the jury in the Hayward case were spoken. and the trial, so far as judge and counsel were concerned, was at an end after hav- ing lasted almost seven weeks. Court opened an hour earlier than usual to give Mr. Erwin time to close his argument for the defense, which had already lasted two days. - . Mr. Erwin began by pointing out that the loan Harry Hayward made to Miss Ging had not been attacked in the evi- dence except by the word of Claus Blixt. The validity of this loan was the citadel of the defense. It was evident that had the police machine been properly set in me- u \\\- \x \V . \fl :‘\ I U ‘ | l \ ’: . ,7, gems" v'. lif""l-"ll'.l'I/$:3i>ll .. -. y. -. _, , '.I \ . ,‘ y", f) \il/ill "ll ‘3' c; 55:2?

At the same time it would have relieved this “innocent man from the charge under which he now rests. ” Mr. Erwin then devoted himself to the alibi and claimed that all of Harry’s time when he was involved by Blixt’s testimony had been satisfactorily accounted for. In closinghe said this is the most monstrous persecution in history. “If you are in Obedience to the pressure brought on you to tear down all the rules of law, if fanaticism and the monstrosity of this alliance between the pcrjurer and the murderer are to influence you, then tell your artisans to remove from all our domes the statue of justice. Tell them to put in her place a figure of the hag of hell. Take down your flag, the flag of your republic, the red, white and blue; take it dOWD, the old flag of freedom, and bid your oflicers rear in its place that polished, black face of hellish perjury. “You, gentlemen of the jury—you are in the hands of God. No power can mar or overthrow your verdict. Beware that you do not betray the conscience. of this nation. ” It took Judge Smith 40 minutes to read his charge to the jury. H e declared that the verdict must be guilty as charged or not guilty. His charge was conceded to be impartial. The jury was out buta short time before agreeing on a verdict. Before they were permitted to return Harry was taken to the jail as a precaution against a demon— stration in case of an acquittal. When the jury filed into court, the fore- man, in response to the clerk’s usual ques- tion, answered, “Guilty as charged.” The crowd in the courtroom applauded the verdict. \Vill Hetty Buy the Railroad?

TROLLEY STRIKE ECHO. Police Justice Quiglcy of Brooklyn Has Been Removed. SWAYED BY HIS SYMPATHY. The General Term, \thieh Heard His Case, Thought That He \Vas Too Uniformly Lenient “’ith the Strikers—The Specific Cases Cited. BROOKLYN, March 9,—The general term of the supreme court today returned an oral decision removing Police Justice James F. Quigley of the Gates avenue court, Brooklyn, for the intentional viola- tion of his official duty in the disposition of cases connected with the recent trolley strike. The charges against Quigley were brought by Mayor Schieren as mayor and as a taxpayer. The trial lasted three days. The courtroom was crowded today with the friends of Justice Quigley and others interested. Justice Brown rendered the opinion. The judge said in substance: “When the court handed down its deci- sion in the Watson case, it stated the rule which should be applied. The court thinks the same rule should obtain in this case---. that the evidence must show corruption, intentional violation of duty, disregard of law, conclusions and willful disregard of legal rules. . “Applying this rule in the Watson case, we found the evidence insufiicient. The court found one or two cases deserving censure, but lacking an intentional viola- tion. In applying the same rule to this case the court arrives at a different conclu- smn. “The court still adheres to the rule that a magistrate should not be removed be- cause the general term disagrees with him. We must allow great latitude to the judi- cial discretion allowed to a magistrate in questions of law and fact. Many Decisions Cited. “We do not find a few isolated instances in this case. We find in a given period, be- ginning with tho~ inception of the strike up to Feb. 6, when Justice Quiglcy was first notified that his ofiflcial acts would be investigated, a uniformity which indicates violations of official construction of law and a total disregard of the necessary in- ferences which should have been drawn in these cases. ” “In 10 case'of Acker there was a mani- fest intention to reach a particular conclu- sion. The Officer testified that he saw the act committed. He said the stone passed through a window and struck a passenger in the back. The fact is, the stone was thrown. It made no difference in this case whether it struck a woman or a man. The officer was taken to task. The case against the prisoner was dismissed. “In the Connolly case a‘ car was assault- ed and a. motorman was threatened with violence. The magistrate did not believe Connolly. The case was dismissed. ' ”In the Muliin case there. was no doubt that a motorman was taken from a car to Palmetto hall and intimidated. 'There was no doubt that Mullin was in the hall, because he was arrested there in spite of the fact that three witnesses swore that he was not there. There seems to have been no excuse whatever in that case why the prisoner should not have been held for the grand jury. “We find some of the judge’s remarks to haVe been improper. They were remarks which tended to encourage cvildoors. He said in court that the strikers had a right to get men off the cars. but they must do so peacefully and orderly. Such a remark encouraged lawlessness. They had no right even to step on a car in such a case, as it was trespass. Quigley’s Removal Ordered. “ We regard it as of great significance that up to Feb. 6 only one person was held for the grand jury, while in many cases adjournments were had. “In the case of a man charged with. as- sault in the third degree the judge con1—' menced to try it. He stopped the proceed- ings, and because of the aggravated nature of the case had a complaint made against him for assault in the second degree. If he had held him at once for the grand jury, it would have been different. Instead the case was adjourned and has not been dis- posed of yet. * “Taking the case as a whole into consid- eration, we find much that indicates an intention to violate his duty. While we _do so with some regret, yet the court finds the charges to have been sustained, which means that we must order J udgc Quigley’s ' removal. ’ ’ Court was immediately adjourned. ' Justice Quigley came into court shortly before Judge Brown ended his decision. He did not appear to be downcast over the result of the proceedings. He refused to talk about the matter. To a reporter Justice Dykman, one of the general term judges, said that the matter was ended, and that the Gates avenue court was without a. judge. Quigley was finally removed, he said, and there was no appeal. ' Another general term judge ex- pressed himself in the same way. Ex-Judgc Dailcy, Quigley’s counsel, said that he did not think the case was ap- pealable. He said that he did not believe there would be any appeal asked for any- how, as Justice Quigley did not care enough about the position to bother with it further. He said that of course Quigley did not like to be removed, but that as the ofiice had never been of any benefit to him he was not likely to fight the case any more. Afflicted With Rheumatism. Mr. Geo. A. Mills, of Lebanon, Conn, says: “I was afflicted with rheumatism in my back all last winter. It was so severe at times that I could not stand up straight, but was drawn over on One side. I tried different. remedies without receiving any relief until I bought abottle of Chamberlain’s Pain Balm. After using it for three days, according to directions, my rheumatism was gone and has not returned since. I have since recommended it to others and know they have been benefited by its, use.
