WORCESTER (Mass.), July g.
AT Lake Quinsigamond, yesterday
afternoon, the steamer Isaac DAVIS,
loaded with passengers, careeDed,
the hurricane deck broke oil, and
scores of passengers were thrown
into the lake. There were about
200 passengers on the boat, 100 on
the hurricane deck, and they had
no opportunity to get Off.
The Davis careened over
away from the wharf, aud caused
the crowd to rush to that side and
threw them struggling into the
water. AS the boat gave way the
roof of the upper deck came down
on the engine and broke off the
safety-valve, causing the steam to
rush out with a fearful noise, add.
ing new terror. The boat rolled
over more, catching the guuwale on
"a spile, and became fast, and the
great weight caused the supports of
the hurricane deck to give way.
The whole structure down to the
water line crashed down in the
water, which is at this point over
ten feet deep. Many swan to
the shore or TO the wharf, twenty
feet distant. Others kept hold
of the wreck of the hull
and some to the floating roof. The
killed were John Cahill, aged SO;
his daughter, two and half years
old; Lewis La Chapelle, aged 80;
Nellie Shackrow, aged is, and three
others not identified. The injured
were Emma Hemmenway, a young
man named McKenpa, Jeremiah
Dean and wife, and Samuel Gill
bert, all of whom received slight
bruises. The missing are Edward
Coture, l.. Desholl and Lewis Pow
ers, of Clinton. The boat was new,
being launched on May day.

NEW YORK, July 5.-The Tim es
condemns the unwholesOme activ-
ity in gold and silver mining
shares, which imparts Temporary
life to the New York Mining Ex-
change and encourages the forma-
tion of mining companies on a
scale, which recalls the Colorado
fever of 1865, At San Francisco, the
headquarters Of gold and silver
mining. The stock Exchange
was aud is verltable pest of gamb-
lers, and nowhere has gambling
been carried on more recklessiy
than in the shares of the bonanza
mines. Our Mining Stock Board
Is small yet in comparison with
that of San Francisco, but the bus
iness record of stocks dealt in Is Us
discouraging to the genuine invest
oras anything reported from the
Pacific Coast. The seventy COM
panies quoted here have an aggre-
gate Of over IL 900, 900 shares. 1t
is stated that "if the future bull
ion product of the country was
paid to those companies as divi-
dend it would not amount
to one dollar per share"
J AS matter of fact, however,
1t is notorious that few of the COM
panies whose stocks are quoted pay
any dividend at all. Many cir
cumstances point to the reproduc'
ton of the scheming which years
ago brought Colorado properties
into dlsrepute. We have the same
stories of gentlemen going out t.
survey land and Of companies form
ed with respectable names at th,
head to operate mines thus ae
quired.
