Shocking sequel to an Excursion

Most of the Victims Women and
ChiIdren-story of the Accident by
Telegraph.
BALTIMORE, July "a. "A terrible calamity
occurred at North Point, Tivoli, an ex-
oursion resort on the Patspsoo, 10 miles
from this city. about 10 O'Clock last
night, by which many lives were lost,
the number being estimated at between
so and 20.
The accident was occasioned by the
giving away OF the outer portion of
pier, on which several hundred persons
were congregated awaiting the boat to
return to this city.
The location is on small bay distant
about two miles from North Point light
house. 1t was formerly known IS Holly
Grove and was the first regular excursion
place fitted up near the city, about Is
years ago, and WAS a most popular resort
at that time and for several years after
| wards.
Yesterday an excursion was given to
Tivoli under the management of the
Mount Royal Beneficial Society of the
Catholic Church OF Corpus Christi, of
| which Father Starr is pastor, at Mount
Royal avenue and Mosher street.
The excursionists went down on the
barge Cocksde City, which was towed by
the tug Amanda Powell. The barge was
formerly au old canal boat which had
been fitted up with several decks for ex.
cursion purposes and used as such fol
several years.
Yesterday she made three trips, the
last being made from this city between
and 7 O'Clock last evening and reached
Tivoli before 10 o'clock.
During the day she had taken down
about 500 persons, and on her last triI
about 100. A large number of those VIII,
went down during the day had remained
intending to return oil the last trip.
When the barge approached all thos
on shore made rush for the end OF tn,
wharf, which is several hundred fee
long, and were closely packed together u
gate about % feet from the end, imps
tiently awaiting admittance through tn
gate.
AS the barge came alongside and struc
the wharf, the wharf suddenly and with
. out warning gave way, and a large poi
tion of the crowd was precipitated int
. the water, which is about 10 feet deep.
Many were able to save themselves b
j fleeing towards the shore as the QUITE
3 end of the pier crumbled and fell.
Owing to the darkness, the cOnfnsio
5 and terror little could be done at once I
/. rescue the drowning, most Of whom wei
I women and children.
a The first news of the disaster reache
this city a little after 2 o'clock TIL
/ morning, when the barge landed ,
n Henderson's wharf bringing a number
the bodies of the drowned.
n Up to this hour 81 bodies have bee
a recovered.

BUFFALO, July "a Capt. Matthew
Webb, the noted English swimmer,
persisted in au attempt to swim the
Niagara river whirlpool rapids this
afternoon. He was rowed in skiif to
opposite the old "Maid OF Mist" landing
by John MeCloy, ferryman at the Falls,
and ltsped from the boat at two minutes
past A O'Clock. This daring swimmer
passed the big rapids all right, keeping
in the middle of the stream. When he
struck the whirlpool he was rushed to
the American side, where the waves it is
estimated are from 80 to 40 feet hixh.
aud the last seen of him was to throw up
one arm. His shoot of the rapids was
thrilling. His intention was to pass the
whirlpool on the Canada side.
Webb leaves a sife aud two children

and hotel managers at the Falls to have
anything to do with what they termed

can be- tuuud, and it is generally conceded
