The many journalists and other
friends of Mr.. Joseph b. McCullagh, of
the st. Louis Globe Democrat, were
shocked day or two ago by the publ
cation in some newspapers of sensa-
tiOnal statement that he is broken
down and at the point of death. Pri-
vate dispatches contain the gratifying
assurance that the sensational part Of
the story of Mr.. McCullagh's illness is
wholly without foundation. He has
been i'll, but not dangerously so, and
will leave st. Louis for summer vaca-
ton at the seashore.in few days.
Captain Webb, the famous swimmer,
successfully breasted the rapids of Nj
agara river, Tuesday afternoon, but
disappeared in the whirlpool. After

mile above the Maid of the Mist land

4:33 he passed under the bridge, swim.
ming with powerful stroke abreast OF
the waves. He had now really started
on his perilous journey. The crowd
now became excited, running from one
side of the bridge to the other, making
EXPLANATIONS and remarks as to the
probability of the result. The captain
swan on. striking huge waves with
perfect ease, riding on the topor shoot
ing through the center of the highest.
The sight was a beautiful one. and the
gallant captain displayed his firmness
to the gaZers above. The banks on
either side were dotted with anxious
spectators, who endeavored to keep
track of the swimmer. At 4:37 the cap
tain had successfully passed the rapids
and was about to enter the whirlpool,
the only place he had dreaded to en-
counter. He seemed to be drawn I'M
der the water at this point and has not
been seen since by anyone.
An appalling disaster occurred Mon
day night at North Point Tivoli, an ex-
cursion resort near Baltimore. About
two hundred people had gathered out
near the end Of the long pier for the
purpose of getting on the excursion
barge to return to the city, when the
wharf broke and over one hundred of
them were precipitated into the water.
The widest excitement followed the
giving away of the structure. Men,
women, and children went down togeth-
er, and after them jumped numbers of
brave men who made desperate efforts
to save some of the perishing people.
All was confusion, and in their efforts
to save some of the drowning ones it is
thought that several of those who went
to the rescue also lost their lives. Pa
rents who were standing little behind
their children on the pier saw their
loved ones go through the terrible DEATH
trap and were unable to do anything
for them. being compelled to see them
drown. The air was rent with the
screams of the people on the wharf and
the agonizing cries of those in the wa
ter. Up to noon Tuesday sixty-six
bodies had been recovered. The most
of the drowned were women and young
girls. A report Wednesday morning
says twelve additional bodies have been
found making total of sevenJy-eight.
