SAD DISASTER.
Capsizing Of a Ferry Boat at Ell
gin, Ill.
TWELVE PERSONS KNOWN TO HAVE
LOST THEIR LIVES.

ELGIN, Ills, April pas the ferry raft was
crossing Fox river this morning When in the
middle of the stream it capsized suddenly.
The passengers of whom probably 81 were
little girls were swept down the current utter
ing heartrending cries for assistance. Several
were rescued with boats The body of John
Creightons daughter, aged II, was recovered
and she is said to have been resuscitated,
Twenty persons are said to have been saved
Among the missing are Thos. Murphy, aged
The ferry raft was IS by 10 feet and when first
used yesterday was condemned by the public
at once. Another account says about so per-
sons were drowned but it is impossible vet TO
gain trustworthy facts as to the number on
board and the saved and lost. The accident
occurred between 8 and 8 o'clock The boat
was mere scow Just purchased at cost of
$50 as ferry to take the place of the bridge
recently washed away over Fox river between
East and West Elgin. 1t was operated by
ropes from the banks.
SECOND DISPATCH.1
CHICAGO, April 2S.-Another dispatch con-
cernlng the Elgn calamity says the disaster
does not now seem to be 80 bad as at first re-
ported. Sixteen persons are known to have
been saAed. Ten are missing and four are
known to be drowned. There is intense ex-
element in the city and hundreds are busily
engaged in dragging the river. The boat was
crossing the river from the west side and when

water. The passengers in CONSERVATION i'm
mediately flocked to the dry part of the boat
clinging to the railing which giving way pre-
cipitated them into the river. As the water
poured into the boat it sank below the surface
leaving thirty human souls battling for life in
the angry current. The water at this point is
fully 10 feet deep and the current six miles an
hour. Much indignation is felt against both
the city council and builders of the boat for
employing such miserable craft. Those
missing and known to have been on board are
Thomas Murphy, Andrew Dawson, John
Cerbin, Gny Carlisle. Lee Taylor, Mrs. Cole
Vile, Elmer Foster and A. Little, girl named
Frances Creighton, j. A. Simmonds of New
York, and j. S: Lockwood of Rockford missing
and as they intended crossing it is believed
they are lost. A low estimate would place the
drowned at - or Is.
THIRD DISPATCH.
ELGIN, ILL.,, April 2S.-Latest reports entire
ly confirm the former estimates of the number
of drowned; which cannot be less than twelve.
No bodies have yet been recovered, though
every effort is being put forth. Great excite
ment prevails and the streets are constantly
thronged with men, women and children ter
ror stricken at the terrible calamity. Several
houses along the river were made comfortable
for those rescued, previous to removing them
to their homes, and every assistance has been
rendered that human skill and forethought
could devise.

THE FLOODS.
Missouri Towns Deluged With
Water.
HUNDREDS OF FAMILIES HOMEL ESS
AND SOME LIVES LOST.

KANSAS CITY, April 2S.-This has been
day of great excitement. The water in the
Missouri continued to rise throughout the
day and night and is rising still. At 9 o'clock
this morning dyke raised along the river
front of the bottoms gave way near Hell's
Half-Acre and torrents poured through driv-
ing the people from their homes in great ter
tor. All efforts to stay the food were vain and
within an hour large district was inunda ted
to the depth of four to ten feet. AT noon the
torrent began to pour over Ninth street sub
merging another district as large as the first
and driving the terror-stricken inhabitants be-
fore it. The water stands several feet deep in
many of the stores ON Union avenue and
James street, and covers the street railway on
these streets for five or six squares. In Ar
moursdale, across the Kansas river, many col
ored families were surprised by tie flood, and
five were drowned. The water rushed over the
doomed town so rapidly that the inhabitants
could only flee for their lives without being
able, to remove any part of their household
goods. Fully 800 families were thus thrown
out of their homes. At least 5000 people are
driven from their homes. In east of Kansas
City similar state of affairs exists rendering
homeless thousands of people.

So;V4ooO The treasury officials say that the
delay necessary to reach the remote portions of
the country, and the time required for the con-
slderation OF the question, causes the bonds to
be returned slowly, but they add that there is
no doubt that the greater por ton of them will
be proposed for continuance.
