All Republican roads led to St. Touis Fri- Gay.

Mrs. Bowker left home Feb. 28. When she got to Fulton, Ky., and while her train was lying in the railroad yard a switch engine collided with it and knocked the chair car in which she was sleeping off its trucks and demolished it. Mrs. Bowker was reclining on a couch when the collision came and was thrown violently from it to the floor, striking a lad- der used by the porter. Her back and sides and Hmbs were severely bruised and she was s0 prostrated by the shock that she took to her bed for two days when she reached Cairo. For the first time since her arrival she was able to be out Friday morning, but on account of her condition she was compelled to. return to Memphis.

TOP 250 FEET FROM GROUND) ' | ' ; MEN ARE REMOVING THE HUGE) CHIMNEY IN SECTIONS. Work in Their Perilous Position With- out Any Apparent Thought of Danger—New Building to Replace the Old One. Robert Robinson and Ed Young, two former sailors, began Friday morning to take down the big smokestack on the Tur- ner building, at Bighth and Olive streets. | At 9:30 o'clock the first section, nine feet | long, had been lowered to the roof, and/§ before night, eight. sections will have been | removed, and the remainder of the stack will be lifted off bodily and lowered to the ground if the plans of the wreckers are not changed. The Turner building is being demolhshed to make way for a more preten:‘ious and modern structure. The stack rises 110 feet above the roof of the building, which is 140 feet above the street, so that when ihe riggers are at the top of the stack they are 250 feet above the earth. At the top, a mast 30 feet long has been lashed to the stack with three ropes. The tackle, by means of which the riggers are raised to their perilous position, is fastened to the mast by means of three-quarter inch wrought iron hooks. Three three- | due, quarter inch ropes pass through blocks at top and bottom. To the lower block a narrow board is fastened on which the rigger sits. A heavier tackle is fastenea to the mast at the top of the stack con- nected with a winch on the roof for the purpose of lowering sections of the stack as they are detached. When Robinson and Young went aloft Friday morning to their work, hundreds of people stood on the sidewalk in front of the postoffice and watched them with breathless interest. Young was the first to ascend. He seat- ed himself on his bit of board, shook his lines to see that they were free and be- gan to haul away. As soon as he got free of the roof. two helpers took-hold of the ropes and the sailor was soon at the top. Ascends to Top of the Mest. When he got there he was sé¢en to climb out of his seat and ‘“‘shin’’ up the mast to the top, where he detached his block and tackle and slid down the mast to the top of the stack with it In his hand. Then he hooked the tackle-over the edge of the stack and getting into his seat again swung himself free over the roof aagin. Robinson then seated himself on his board and was swung aloft also. His tackle was hooked over the edge of the stack and both lowered away about 10 feet. From above came the subdued clang of hammers on iron. The riggers had begun to cut away the rivets that fastened the sect'ons of the stack together. With chisels they severed the snap ends of the rivets on the o\@ .ide of the stack and punched the rivets out. Round the stack they eircled, knocking off the ends of the rivets, until they met on the other side. When only enough rivets re- mained to hold the section in place they fastened a tackle about It and it was low- ered to the roof. Before loosening it the tackle holding their slings was transferred from the top of the stack back to the mast f 1. 2 - section removed was nine feet long, consisting of two pieces of boiler iron riv- eted tomether.

Swift LOST PROPELLER FEB. 27 HER SCREW AND RUDDER DROP- PED-INTO THE SEA. Member of New York World Staff, a Passenger on Board, Sent the Startling Information and Last News of the Ship. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, March 7.—Eight days over- the swift Atlantic liner Etruria is supposed to be somewhere near the Azores, without rudder or propeller, lashed to a small steamer whose engines are hardly able to move the big ship over the rough sea. The only tidings received from the Etruria since she salled from New York Feb. 22, came in a cablegram from a mem- ber of the Evening World's staff who is a passenger on the crippled ship. His mes- gage was carried to’ Harta, Azores Isiand, by a passing oil tank steamer. It was dated March 1, and conveyed this startling information: Propeller Goes to the Bottom. “The Etruric lost her propeller and steering gear in mid-Atlantic on the evening of Feb. 26. Drifted helpless in a heavy sea all night, making con- tinuous signals. “Propeller and rudder went to the bottom of the ocean without warn- ing. The Etruria was in the regular lane of travel at the time, but duaing the night drifted out of the track of steamers. “They are trying to tow the Etru- ria to the Azores. As I write we are in tow of the steamer William Cliff. but are making no headway. Wind and sea against us and Cliff not strong enough to do more than hold us steady. Much discouragement is felt because the Cliff is unable to get us along with any speed. Most of the Five Hundred Miles from Land. time we do not move ahead at all.”’ The Etruria was 500 miles west-north- west of Fayal when picked up by the Wil- liam Cliff. It is explained by seamen that the Etru- ria's tall shaft broke near the hub of the screw, and the broken part, with the pro- peller, dropped off and sank. This happened when the single screw Cunarder was breasting a heavy easterly swell. A gale was blowing from the northwest. She lay to until morning, burning signals of dis- tress at intervals and displaying signals that she was not under control So as to warn passing ships. The Willlam Cliff. which is towing the crippled ship with the utmost power of her engines, could not make more than three Knots an hour against wind and wave. it is argued that the Cunarder’s screw had struck some hidden obstruction, which had not only snapped the tail shaft but had jarred the rudder locse and twisted the rudder post. It was said that before = om Seenee wouie_ be put over, the liner ‘ an To nt than wg Bony e seas for more The Cunard agents here confidently for the arrival of the vessel at the ) Anne Tugs have been dispatched to bring her to Queenstown. It is likely the passengers will be transferred at the +Azgores and er ages tr - to Leverpoel. A useless rudder would mean time out for the disabled veal Rye 3 strain on the towing hawsers would be much greater. It is, of course, supposed that Capt. Stephene in such a case would rig a jury er, sO as to assist the Wéill- lam Cl? and ease the strain on her towing bits as much as possible.

She met the t’mbria in midocean on Feb. 2%, and though the ships were not In sight of each other they exchanged wireless messages. The last mes- sage was sent from the Etruria to the Um- brin at 6:60 o'clock in the evening. It must have been a short time after this when the propeller ani rudder went to the bottom the vea. Tlad the Etrurta been pe le with a more powerful wireless apparatus she could have made her plight known to the Uribria within a few minutes of the ac- cident. Capt.

Her record trip was ended in New York on Aug. 7, 1888, sae 56 days 20 hours and 55 minutes, She entered this port on Dec. 30, 1900, in an exciting race with the New York. They had met at sea three days before, and the Etruria dropped her home anchor one hour and five minutes ahead of the New York. She has met several exciting adventures at sea. In February, 1899, she just grazed the cruiser Marblehead in a fierce storm at sea. She was hammered vy ton blows of water in @ tempest in July, 1896, and came off unhurt. Again in October of that year she steamed through a terrible tempest at sea.
