A Burning Steamer.

Terrible Scenes on Board.

It has now been ascertained that over 60 porsons lost their lives through the burning of the steamer City of Pittsburgh on the Ohio Xtiver on Sunday, morning, April 20th. The steamer carried 60 pai- . sengers and a crew of 75. Only half the number escaped. The fire was discovered about 4 a.m., when the vessel was at ft lonely spot about 20 miles from Cairo, Illinois. The alarm was immediately given, and an awful panic followed. The flames spread with fearful rapidity, and tea minutes after the fire started the upper decks were SWEPT BY THE FLAMES. The electric lights went out, the fore com* panionway was burned, and escape wm cut off. The interior of the vessel was filled with stifling smoke, and the terrfied pat sengers swarmed on to the deck m tbeir night-dresses. Only a few had secured lifebelts, and many leaped into the river through sheer fright, and were drowned.. Others fainted and sank down, and weit cremented. The screams of the women and the children added to the horrow of the scene. The crew promptly manned the fire apparatus and fought the flames, bat they were soon driven back by the terrific heat. A RUSH WAS MADE for the boats, but only one was suoceMf uly launched, and, owing to the frightful strug gle for places it was filled m less than a minute. Many were drowned m the at tempt to get m. One woman, jumped into the boat, and her three children who jump- , ed after hec fell into the water, and wew drowned. The boat, without oars, drifted back to the burnrng ship. The men des perately used their hands to sheer off, and finally the current carried them, out of dan ger. About 30 people were m the boat, and they managed to reach the shore. The whole vessel was soon WBEATHED IK PLASHES and the survivors were compelled to leap into the water to escape burning. Only those who swam reached the shore, the others being swept away by the strong current. Others were burned or stifled by the smoke. People from tho. neighbouring villages went out m boats and rescued many. The vessel finally drifted to a mud bank near the shore and burned to the water's edge. The women and children suffered terribly from cold and exposure. Fires were lighted by the river, and the people from the neigh bouring- farms supplied the unfortunates with clothing and blankets until a steamer arrived and took them to Cairo.

! tiUMN to - ■-■■■ '■ i ■'■"- - CANCER CURED. ■ BRIEF PARTICULARS OF A REMARKABLE CASE IN 1 THE WELLINGTON DIS- I TRICT, Fullest Information Sent on Application, Mr W. H. MEXTED, a well-known Con tractor, resident m Nelson street, Petone, has been ill for OVER TWO YEARS, wit 1 I CANCER IN THE BOWELS. First six months had constant craving for meat, had to have meat at meals at least twice a day. He says:—"Treated by two local doctors, at end of six months the doctors decided to put me under chloroform for examination and operation. Placed on milk diet for three days previous, and wasted to a shadow. After examination it was decided to send me to the Wellington Hospital for operation. A hard lump or ridge had been growing for some time at the upper part of the abdomen, and blood and pieces of flesh resembling 1 the lung of a sheep was passing from me daily. I was m the Wellington Hospital two months. Was operated on, and under examination the doctors told Mrs Mexted that the trouble was cancer m the bowels, and was practically incurable. Was taken from the hospital m that condition, being taken to my home on the ambulance stretcher, and m such a weak state they did not think I would reach home alive. Was carried to my bed, and for weeks lay be tween life and death. The local doctors were m regular attendance, and concurred with those of the hospital as to the nature of my complaint, and stated they could do nothing for me. As time went on the doctors ceased calling, telling my wife that my case waa hopeless and they could do no more. I was worn away to a skeleton, and daily passing the matter above referred to. My wife then tried'various remedies and patent medicines, but thefa was not the slightest improvement, until, on the advice of friends, 1 started taking PLANTEKOA, and it was not for some time that even this seemed to make any impression, and I was almost giving it up m despair. However, while using the fifth bottle, the discharge gradually ceased, and I began to feel stronger, the hard swelling had almost < disappeared, and I was able to get up and about for a little. To the joy of my family and friends the improvement continued, until at the present time I FEEL SPLEN DID. Have been away during Easter to Danevirke and Palmerston North for a trip, and have NOW RESUMED WORK. I consider that PLANTEKOA has COM PLETELY CURED ME. I shall be pleased to answer enquiries Joy letter or otherwise,—Tours, gratefully, W. H. MEXTED. I can certify that I visited Mr Mexted m the Wellington Hospital, and I never ex pected to see him come out alive, and his present condition astonishes me. Signed, W. Shilling, Pilot, Wellington Harbour Board. This is to certify that I conveyed Mr Mexted to the hospital m the ambulance, and two months later brought him home again, and assisted to carryl him from the ; ambulance to hia bed. Jas. Brocklehurst, general carrier, livery and bait stable keeper, Petone. Having been intimately j acquainted with Mr Mexted for a long i time I can certify to his serious illness and I cure by PLANTEKOA. George S. Chandler, Farrier, Petone.

Hj HE following unsolicited Testimonial I. by a gentleman well known m Ash burton, speaks for itself ; — Masterton, August 28,1901. Ross Antidote Company, Dear Sirs,—-I feel it my duty to give you this enclosed testimonial m favour of Ross' Antidote for purifying the blood. I have been a great sufferer for many years from ulcerated stomach, indigestion, etc. My life was a pei'fect misery, and I was almost a wreck. I grew tired of trying different medical men and remedies, of which I had tried almost every known one but yours and one day some eighteen months ago a gentleman came into the shop where I was employed. He remarked " Jack, you look very ill," and you may depend I was. He added, Will you take some medicine if I procure it; I replied, I will take anything. He brought me a bottle of your Antidote, and I took it accordingly as directed, and to my delight I began to get well, and after taking three large bottles I was a new man, thanks to your great discovery. I always keep it by me, and find a few doses occasionally keep me m perfect health, and I wish you the success with it that such, a medicine merits. You can make what use you like of this.—l remain, yours, etc., J. H. Pauling, Masterton. May be obtained from Messrs F&btcheb Bros., and Shearman 8r05.,, Aehburton. ) Bmoie New Venus
