BURIED IN MIDOOEAII. ’ The thetta’c Brave Crew Stuck to Their Floating Furnace For Several Days. SAN FRANCISCO, July 12.—Private ad— vices from Australia give the details of the burning at sea of the bark Salsetta. The vessel left here for Melbourne on March 14, and when in midocean the fire was discovered in her cargo. The bark Miltiades took the Salsetta’s crew and ofilcers into Melbourne on J une 10. Captain Panton, the Salsetta’s com‘ mander, stated that the fire was discov- ered at 3 o’clock in the morning by the from the forward hatch. The mate gave the alarm, and on investigation it was discovered that the flames were gradually eating into the cargo in the lowor hold and spreading rapidly to a part of the hold in which was stowed a quantity of gunpowder. The crew fought the en- croaching flames and checked their prog- ress somewhat. Two or three seamen were overcome by smoke. Later in the day, after a great exertion, the cargo of gunpowder was removed, and one by one the dangerous casks Were thrown into the water. The situation became so desperate on the second day that Captain Panton or- dered all of the boats lOWered and towed astern. Each boat was provisioned for a long journey, and one of the light fleet was used as a tender for the ship’s instru- ments, clothing and the like. Toward 3 o’clock in the afternoon of the 18th the after cabins and the ship’s decks became so hot that all the crew had The Salsetto was 1,500 miles offshore, and it was decided to abandon her if the'fire did not abate by Sunday. Details of men were sen't on board to fight the flames. As each detail became exhausted from the effects of the smoke and heat it wits relieved by a fresh relay. When night came on, the flames broke through the decks, and in a few minutes the vessel was wreathed in fire. The boats pulled away and in less than three hours ware sighted by the Miltiadcs, which vessel picked them up, and after standing by to witness the destruction of the Salsetta steamed fo'r her destination.

Y., July 12.—Minnie Ingcrsoll, 16 years old, who lived with her brother at Chapel Hill, 35 miles from herb, and Nicholas P. Strife, a farmhand em- ployed on the Ingersoll place, were mur- dered by John Hoch, who had been an in- mate of the prison at Auburn, serving a. sentence of seven years for attempted murder, and who was pardoned two years ago by Governor Flowor. Hoch met Miss Ingersoll this spring and became infatuated with her, but his atten- tions Were not encouraged by the girl, who refused to see him when he tried to call upon her. On Wednesday he drove from Lowville to Chapel Hill, but the girl’s brethcr, Eugene, ordered him away, and he drove to his half sister’s home for dinner. Driving back to Lowville, he bought uwinchestcr rifle and 45 caliber cartridges. Hoch sneaked into the Ingcrsoll barn, and when Miss Ingersoll passed with a. pail of milk he fired, the ball lodging in her heart?""She fell dead instantly. Strife was following the girl with a pail of milk, and the murderer fired the second time, the ball entering Strife’s left side. Strife ran in terror and alarmed. the household. Hoch made for the woods and escaped. The sheriff found Hoch hiding at a farmhouse. He had told George Graves, the owner, the story of the crime, threat- ening to kill him if he refused to hide him. When the officers arrived, Hoch showed fight, but finding resistance useless he put a revolver to his forehead and fired, fracturing his skull. Strife died this morning. It is expected that Hoch wfll recover. To Test the Malby Law. NEW YORK, July 12.—J. A.

More Than-24,300 Person; Attended the Meetings In Mechanics' Hall and the _ Two Big Tents—Governor Green- halge’n Warm Welcome. BOSTON, July 12.—-Mechanics’ building has contained big gatherings of all de- scriptions, but never held so many repre- sentatives from all parts of America as well as from foreign lands as assembled . there today for the opening meeting of the Christian Endeavor convention. Hun- dreds were unable to gain admission to the auditorium, which held fully 11,000 persons. The stage, except the portion re- served for the speakers, was occupied by one section of the ohms—nearly 1,000 voices, in charge of Mudml Director Percy S. Foster of Washington. This chorus started its songs of praise long before the convention formally opened and continued the hymns until President Clark appeared on the platform. The advent of the founder and leader of the Christian Endeavor movement was a signal for the outburst of tremendous ap- PRESIDENT CLARK AND SECRETARY BAER.‘ plause which continued for several min- utes. At 9:30 President Clark called the convention to order with the gavel pre- soured to him by the Salem (Or.) Chris- tint. Endeavdr union. “Onward, Christian Soldiers,” and “Keep Step With the Master, ” were sung with a vim, and the rafters of the massive hall fairly shock with the volume of vocal music. Rev. Smith Baker of East Boston led the devotional exercises, which fol- lowed, and then President Clark appoint- ed the only business committee necessary during the convention, Secretary J. W. Baer, Rev. E. H. Harwaod of Wisconsin, Dr. E. Kelly of California, W. H. Lewis of the state of Washington and Miss Lot- tie E. Wiggins of Ontario. Rev. J. W. Becket of Baltimore, :1. colored man, sung with great effect, “He Saved My Soul," and the Park sisters rendered effectively a selection on their cornets. Dr. S. F. Smith’s hymn of welcome was first read in concert and then sung with a will. Governor Greenhalge Saluted. Rev. Albert H. Plumb, D. D., of this city then welcomed the delegates in behalf of the Boston pastors. At the close of his address Governor Greenhalge was escorted to the stage. The audience greeted him with the Chautauqua salute, thousands of handkerchiefs being waved from all parts of the hall as Massachusett’s chief execu- tive took his seat on the platform. Hon. S. B. Capen, chairman of the com- mittee of 1895, then make the address of welcome in behalf of the committee. Hon. S. D. Capen, chairman of the com- mittee of 1895, then made the address of welcome in behalf of the committee. President Clark introduced Governor Greenhalge. Again the convention broke out into applause and cheers, while his excellency bowed acknowledgment. He said in part: “It is given me to perform a pleasant task to welcome you officially to Massa- chusetts. It is said that some mortals often entertain angels unawares. I can’t say that, for you gave us notice of your coming. Massachusetts, in all her heart, soul and strength, welcomes the Endeav- orers to her borders. To Brother Clark I wish to say that this Christian Endeavor is only a rediscovery of the ancient. so- ciety. Was not John Winthrop in the old days a member of this organization? Ev- ery true Christian, whether he knew it or not, was a member of your distinguished order. “.We welcome you to Concord, Lexington and Bunker Hill. Perhaps yo can hear from, Charlestown the shot which echoed around the world. Faneuil hall repeats the story of the fight for justice and lib- erty, and you seem to hear from the Old South the voices of Otis, Adams and War- ren. It is not of material weal that this state boasts, but of our superior ideas and ideals. In the name of the commonwealth of Massachusetts I welcome you from whatever state, territory or country you may come. ” In Tent Endeavor. Over 6,500 enthusiastic Endeavorers crowded, the mammoth Tent Endeavor today. Row after row of earnest, happy faces radiated from the grand stand to the entrances, filling all the available space. Nothing could be grander or more im- pressive than the scene in the tent which bore the name oflthc organization’s watch- word. The bright sun shone through the can- vas covering, making it‘ an enormous, white canopy emblematic of the aims of the great Endeavor organization. The breezes gently stirer the canvas and waved the flags and decorations. Crimson and white streamers filled the tent, the hunting being draped from the great cen- ter poles above and the sides of the tent. Flags and colors of all nations interspersed the streamers and testified by their variety to the international character of the gath- ering. High above all waved the flags of England and the stars and stripes. High above the floor in full sight of every one and at the extreme end rose the platform for the speakers and chorus. Here the grand chorus of 500 and the speakers and prominent ’members of the society were seated. There was no actual beginning to the ' service, the chorus and delegates spon- taneously starting an Endeavor hymns long before the hour for the first number on the programme. - Other. songs fellemand themusicsras ~~_ almost cdntifiub'fisfii'fitilv morons]? Rev. J. T. Beckley, D. D., of New York opened the meeting according to the programme by announcing.the first hymn, “Onward, Christian Soldiers. ” Magnificent and in- spiring was the effect as the cadence of joyful voices rose on the air. Mr. G. C. Stebbins of Brooklyn led the music. At the conclusion of the hymn Rev. W. H. Albright of Boston read a passage from the Scripture, and then, asking for the earnest co-operatlon of all the delegates in the opening session, called for testimony by delegates. For 15 minutes from all parts of the)l audience came the words of praise to the Almighty and good tidings to the Endeavor society. No word of inspiration nor admonition» was required from Leader Beckley, voices being heard not singly, but in groups of three and four from all parts of the tent; Rev. Mr. Beckley was forced to an- nounce the next number before all who desired to had testified and invited all to jdin in singing, “Send Showers of Bless- ings.” Before beginning the hymn Mr. Beckley called attention to the grand ban- ner which hung over his head inscribed: “For ' Christ and the Church. Wel- come,” and exhorted themsas they raised their voices to bear in mind that they should never forgw to work for Christ and his church. . The Hymn of Welcome. At the close of the song the hymn of welcome, written for the occasion by Dr. S. F. Smith, the author of “America,” was sung, and then Mr. Beckley intro- duced A. J. Crockett, president of the Boston Local union, who welcomed the delegates in behalf of the Endeavorers of Boston. The welcome cf the city pastors was ex- . tended by Rev. M. D. Kneeland, D. D., of , Boston. In behalf of the state of Massachusetts Lieutenant Governor Roger Wolcott then happily welcomed the delegates. Ho praised the objects of the society, express- ed the admiration of the people of the Bay State for the good work it had done and wished the Endeavorers prosperity and success in their work. Rev. Mr. Beckley then called for anoth- er hymn, and then Rev. J. H. Barrows, D. D., of Chicago responded to the wel- come of Massachusetts and Boston in be- half of the society and the delegates. Another inspiring hymn followed, and then Rev. J. E. Checseman of Cleveland read the annual report of Secretary John Willis Baer of Boston. ' The session then adjourned. In Tent \Villiston. Tent Williston was crowded to its ut- most capacity, fully 6,500 persons being gathered within the canvas walls. The meeting here was scheduled to begin at 9:30, but it was some time past this hour . before the exercises opened, owing to the large crowd that sought admission. As early as 8:30 o’clock the Endeavorers began to assemble outside the ropes which protect the tent, and at 9 o’clock ad- mission to the tent was allowed. The seat- ing capacity was quickly tested, every available scat being occupied. At 9:30 o’clock the Rev. Dr. Wayland Hoyt of Minneapolis opened the devotional exer- cises by pronouncing a benediction and then urging all to unite with one accord, establishing the power of the Holy Ghost in the hearts of all. The hymn “Scatter Sunshine” was then sung. The Rev. Asher Anderson of Meriden, Conn, con- ducted the spiritual exercises which fol- lowed after the hymn of welcome, written by Rev. S. F. Smith, was sung by the choir of 1,000 voices. At this point Presi— dent Charles E. Allen of the Massachu- setts delegation presented the convention with a gavel and block, which was re- ceived with an avalanche of applause, and after a complimentary speech of thanks by the chairman, George W. Coleman of Bos- ton, vice chairman of the committee of 1895, made an address of welcome for the committee. The welcome of the city pastors was then given by Rev. A. S. Gumbart, D. D. of Boston. At this point Dr. Hoyt announced than because Of official business Mayor Curtis. was unable to welcome the delegates in behalf of the city of Boston, but that he would be heard at the convention before it closed. In behalf of the city Alderman Sanford welcomed the delegates in appro- priate words, after which the choir sang “America, ” the audience joining in with enthusiasm. The Rev. D. N. Paige of Leavenworth, Kan, in ‘response to the words of wel- come, dwelt on the Christian Endeavor movement in the west, which is growing rapidly. Gilbert C. Kelly of Owensburgr, 33:, was the next speaker. He urged that the En- deavor movement be kept before the peo- ple that its good doctrines might be learn- ed by all. After short addresses by Rev. Walter H. Brooks of Washington, G. lTow- er Ferguson of Toronto and Miss Cora B. Beckford of Biddeford, Me., the an- nual report of General Secretary Baer was read by the Rev. John Barstow of Med- ford, Mass. , The meeting then adjourned. Mexico Bangs Six Robbers. NOGALES, A.
