cursion resort on the Patapaco, ten miles
from this city, about 10 o'clock last night,
by which many lives were lost, the num-
ber being estimated at between sixty and
seventy. Tho accident was occasioned by
the giving way Of the outer portion OF the
pier on which several hundred persons
were congregated, awaiting the boat to re-
turn to this city. The locality is on small
bay, distant about two miles from the
North Point lighthouse. 1t was formerly
known as Holly Grove, and was the FIRST
regular excursion place fitted up near the
city, about fifteen years ago, and was the
most popular resort at that time and for
several years afterward. Yesterday an ex-
cursion was given to Tivoli under the man.
