his employees and personally SUPER
vised strict search for some infor-
nation as to the sad fate Of those
who were drowned. Mr.. Sherman's
plan was to begin at point near Par
adise bay and scrutinize every part of
the eastern shore as far as Pearl
Point, blowing the steam whistle
at intervals and listening for an
answer. There was dead calm, and
the sounds of the whistle echoed from
mountain to mountain, and repeated
many times with wonderful effect.
After the echoes had died away, when
the whistle was first blown, cry was
distinctly heard by those on the
steamer from the TOP of high noun
tain close by. Thank God" ex>
claimed Mr.. Leavens, they are safel"
1t was soon discovered, however, that
the cry came from a large boot owl,
which followed the boat and faithfully
answered, in its shrill, piping tones,
every time the whistle sounded
Shortly al er 3 o'clock the weary
searchers Leard hallooing from the
hotel dock, and, steaming across the
lake, were overjOyed to be informed of
the safe arrival of the lost party.
1t was ascertained that the gentle
man accompanying the boys, after
rowing a short distance from the east
shore in the afternoon, became satis>
fed that it would be foolhardy to
attempt to cross the lake in such
sea, put into a little bay and
landed on an island about 500
feet from the main shore. Here the
party discovered a summer camp, at
present unoccupied, and made them
selves at home. As the wind showed
no signs Of abatement att o clock, and
Mr.. - was unwilling to venture out
in the lake with his charges, it was
decided to take half hours nap.
The weary brothers, once asleep, did
not awaken until they were aroused
by the screeching of the Lewis whis-
tie at 2 o'clock yesterday morning.
DESTROYS of relieving relatives and
friends of anxiety on their account,
the party returned as quietly as posi-
bic to their hotel, and the relief ex-
petition was subsequently informed,
as previously stated, Of their safety.
The reception by relatives of the gen
tleman and the boys (who had by this
time been given up as desd), upon
their arrival at the French Point
dock, was emotional and very Affect
ing to spectators, and thus ended
what was feared had been most dis.

Exiting Night at Lake George.

Intense excitement prevailed at
French Point Saturday evening and
up to 8 o'clock Sunday morning,
through the rumOr, apparently well
established as true by fact, of an ap.
palling drowning calamity. About 4
o'clock in the afternoon, Saturday, a
gentleman from New York, one OF the
party of sixteen from tho metropolis
enjoying the Inequalities Of French
Point Hotel, started with four boys,i
a small boat, to cross the lake for the
purpose Of bathing on the sand heacl.
along the eastern shore, When the
boat left the Point she water was
smooth, but shortly alter the party
arrived on the opposite shore a strong
wind arose aud the surface of the lake
was covered with white caps, among
which it was impossible for a spall boat
to live. Friends of tina hotel saw the
beat put from shore, but it was lost
sight Of, and everybody supposed the
gentleman, concluding the water was
too rough to make the passage in
safety, had returned to land to wait
for the wind to go down. Nothing
more was thought of the matter Until
about dusk, when the yiai FALLING the

The leading theme in financial and
insurance circles since yesterday
morning was the great fire which de-
strOyed upwards of 100000 worth Of
property, and upon which the insur-
ance risks reach the large sum Of
over 100000. Only four local COM
psnies were effected and FIVE escaped
entirely. The risks were $500 by
the Home on which there will be sal
wage Of $1,000 or $1,000, $4,000 by the

surance, a total loss; $4,000 by the
Factors Insurance Company, sup
posed total loss and about $l3, 900 By
the Planters, on which there will be
small salvage. The total loss o.
home companies will not exceed
$50, 900 and they have been quite for
tunate considering the extent Of the
disaster.
The report Of clearinghouse fol
last week indicate an unfavorablt
state Of business in many of the large
cities and a decreased volume il

FOR DAINTY FEET.
The Science of Making Shoes for
Ladies and the SuaviIy Of
the Maker.
New York journal.

DO you know" said celebrated
Sixth avenue dealer in ladies' shoes,
that not one woman in hundred has
a pretty foot? About two in five have
we'll shaped feet. About ninety in q
hundred have some disagreement
either bunions, corns, ingrowing pals
or some other abnormal defeet-which
will make US alter the proper shape
of shoe before it is made or put out
Of shape after the making. A shoe, if
we'll made and to order, should never
get out of shape, no matter how much
wear it is subjected to. But when we
are told to avoid a corn here and re
speet a bunion there, we must do it,
and turn out an article that does us
little credit.
Yes, the French heel is injurious
to the foot. But it need only be
slightly so if properly made. The
trouble is that most shoemakers imi-
tate the French fashion without
knowing the principle. The pressure
upward on the heel should be just as
great as if it we're under the heel
But the American makers usually put
that pressure to bear against the
middle Of the foot, which is abso,
lptely ruinous. The trouble which
comes from pinching is the result Of
not knowing how TO walk. Some
women never can learn this.
Very few ladies' shoes are now i'm.
ported from Paris. They can be
made here quite as we'll and at lesser
cost. | can sell first class lady's
shoe, as good in all essential particu.
lars as the best, for $3.50. can sell
one Of quality of goods somewhat
inferior for So, or ] can Jet ySa payC

the fancy work does this. No lady
E6qld'wear such a shoe.

cuses women make for the imperfect
ness Of their feet. | measured nice
