Disaster on Lake Minuetonka.

M1NNEAPOLIs, Mimi, July 13.-The first
evidence of disaster from the storm yester'
day at Lake Mnnetonka was found in
pieces of trimming from the Minnie Cook,
which fioated in Oh the waves at the east
shore of Waywatta Bay. Large sturdy
boats went ir search of the Inflated little
craft, but no further trace of her could be
had. |. was at last determined that she had
sunk, and that the ten passengers, ex Mayor
Rand and party, who embarked on their
perilous journey in such happy spirits, had
persisted. Later, boatman named James
Carroll who had miraculously succeeded in
weatheriug the tornado in yawl, appear
ed on the Waywatta Bay beach, dragging
his miniature craft after him. When he had
recovered sufficiently from his fright and
exhaustion to speak coherently, he told Of
having passed the Minnie Cook just before
the squall struck the bay. He thought the
party had observed the danger, and was
quite certain that engineer Macdonald had
turned the yacht from her course into the
bay. The next moment Carroll's boat was
raised hearenward, as if raised out of the
water by some superhuman agency, and
then he was enveloped in spray. Soon af-
forwards he beard shrek like that of a
woman in great distress, and looking off
through the almost binding mist to The spot
where the yacht was moment before float
ing, nothing was TO be seen but the white
caps and the waves rolling mountain high.
He is sure that the shrek he heard was that
of Mrs. Rand, and that the Minnie Cook at
that instant capsized. For safety he fell
into the bottom Of his yawl and there chung
until the squall had passed. The bodies Of
Mrs. Rand and engineer Macdonald were
recovered and brought to Minneapolis by
special train. Although the storm was of
brief duration, it is impossible yet to tell
whether the actual extent Of the loss of life
aud property has been fully ascertained.

The Battle of Manassas.

CHARLESTON, S. c., July 13.-The Men,
and Courier publishes a long letter from len
Wade Hampton correcting errors in the re-
cent articles of Gems. Johnston and Imboder

Run. Gen. Hampton shows that the Hamp
ton Legion, 600 strong, which he command
ed, arrested the victorious columns Of Sher.
man and Reyes, who were driving the con-
federate forces back, and that the legion so
delayed the feisral advance as to enable
confederate reinforcemcnts to be brought
up. The Ne1rs and Courier gives IN elabo-
rate review Of the battle, the history oil
which it claims must now be rewritten. Its
conclusion is that Hampton was to Jackson
ut Manassas what Jackson was to the whole
confederate left. Hampton saved Stonewall
Jackson as Jackson saved the army. 1t was
the magnificent ii citing Of the legion under
terrible odds that gave Jackson time to bring
his troops into position. Had he not had
the opportunity TO form the Firginians, who
afterward stood like stone wal" Tho bat
tie would have baen irretrievably lost. The
opportunity to form those Eirgiuians was
given 10 Jackson by Hampton and his men,
aud was given by them alone.

General Chalmers, 'the unhung iiend who

OUTLYING His Honor.

From the Charleston News and Courier.
General James Longstreet is not lacking

strategist than General r. L. Lee, and in al
article on the Seven Days Fighting About

cuses Stonewall Jackson Of tardiuess, and
writes him down as very mediocre COM

WHAT TO TAKE TO PICNIc5-At this sea.
son of the year the question what eatables
to take to picnics arises so frequently that a
lew suggestions may be acceptable. Many
people lose sight of the fact that COOL bread
and butter and cold meat are articles OF
which there should be an ample supply,
even at the cost of going without some deli
cacies. A small spirit lamp will enable one
to get, with very little trouble, Il cup of hot
tea, coffee or chocolate. Here is short list
Of good things from which to make selec-
tions for luncheon in the woods: Buttered
thin break, buttered rolls, pressed chicken,
broiled chicken, tongue, ham, pressed corned
beef sardines, stuffed eggs, hard boiled eggs,
broiled smoked salmon, pickles, olives,
crackers and cheese, orange marInalade,
hard gingerbread. cake, cold coffee, cold tea
and lemonade. There are many fruit syrnps
which, mixed with cold water, make palat
able drinks. Lemon Juice for lemonade
should be extracted at home and carried to
the picnic grounds in bottles. The sugar
may be put with il or added with the water
when the lemonade is wanted. When ice
can be transported the bill of fare may be
improved greatly. For example, salads may
be packed in ice and they will be found
tempting when dinner is announced. Ice
cream and sherbet also will make the meal
seem hundred per cent. better on a hot
day, and little ice in the lemonade will
make it so much more refreshing as 10 re.
pay one for the trouble of carrying The ice.
But have good bread and butter anyway.
1t is well to distribute crack ers and cheese
among the party on first reaching the
grounds. so a. to relieve any feeling Of faint
ness.-Mss Pcrloa in the Boston Beacon.
