CHICAGO, August 22.-The reading of
the report of the committee appointed
to investigate the charges of adulterat-
ing lard made against the Fowler Bros.
on the floor on change this morning,
verified the statement made in these
dispatches last night. The particular
charge against the firm of rendering a
quantity of adulterated lard to Nc
Geoch, Everingham & Co., was not YER
flied, and the committee exonerated
the firm on that point. The
report proceeds, however, and takes
the stand that Fowler Bros.
deserve unqualified disapproval and
censure for the methods they have OBJ
served in manufacturing ''prime steam
lard." The employment Of seclet pipes
and other appliances, the report de-
cIares, lays the firm open to suspicion
of using cotton seed oil and other con-
traband articles in making lard and
unless the opportunity for even this
suspicion is removed the board of trade
should be relieved from all responsibility
in the matter. The report con-
Guides by expressing qualification
at the results obtained by the
investigation and declares that as .
result of..the scientific research provoked
by the. trial the detection of impurities
in lard by the employment of the micro
scope can be easily accomplished and
that the placing of an impure ar6icle
upon the market could be made practi-
cally impossible if proper inspection
takes place.

WARSAW, N. Y, August 22.-Yester-
day was to be the grand gathering of
Baptist Church people and Sunday
School children from the churches in
western New York at the beautiful sheet
of water Silver Lake, near Perry, wy
oming County. At half-past 8 in the
morning Matte Rudd, the charming 16-
year old daughter of William Rudd, and
her schoolmate named Kain, of the same
age, whose father is an employe at the
foundry in that village, started out from
their homes on Federal Street. laughing
and happy. intending to spend the day
with the picnic parties at the grove.
They walked up the track Of the Silver
Lake Road to the outlet, and chaffed
with an italian whom they met, and at
last reached the home of J. W. Karns,
a grandfather Of Matte. Here they
took his skiff with sail attachment and
started off. The old gentleman says
that after reaching the lake they raised
the sail, and we're blowing the water at
4 rapid rate, when the boat was sudden
ly overthrown by an adverse wind within
eighteen feet OF the Berry Boat Club
house and in about eighteen feet of
water. The girls both uttered slight
scream, were seen to founder in the
water, and were then swallowed up by
the merciless waves. A party of camp
ers were Oh the lake in row-boat and
at the time within fe1 rods Of the I'M
fortunate girls. They sank so soon that
they were unable to rescue them. The
alarm was given at once and Capt. Rich
ards, with his steamer Arrow, hided by
J. II. Watson, Charles Jennings, and
Capt. Carrick, began searching for the
bodies. Within an hour the vigorous
search brought the pale, lifeless body of
Miss Kahn to the surface, and an hour
afterwards that Of Miss Rudd. Their re-
mains were taken to the homes of the
distracted parents, whose mothers are
wild with grief. The young ladies' were
promising students of Perry Academy,
and their sudden taking away casts a
gloom over the little village. The last
drowning accident in Silver Lake oc-
Cured three years ago last 4th of July
evening, when the young son of @. Z.
Sanders, of Nurda, and a lady friend
were capsized, no one ever knew how,
and two days search was carried on
! before their bodies were recovered.
