Leavitt Rand was about starting ont on
the lake i'm the yacht Nina after the storm.
when his attention was drawn to the scene
of the disaster, and with a despairing look
he cried: ''Oh, my God. It's our family"
Such it proved TO be, and his pleasure was
turned to sadness and grief in less time
than it takes to chronicle this incident.
James Brown of the gas company, and
daughter, and A. b. Jackson, prominent
Minneapolis attorney, and family, intended
to make the.trip on the Minnie Cook yes
terday, but fortunately they missed the
train in the morning, and were thus provi-
dentially spared to their friends.
Mr.. A. S. Dimond, editor of the North
western Tourist and q resident at the lake
for the past twenty-five years, says this is
the first accident of the kind known in the
history of Lake Minnetonka.
The Minnie Cook has been built about
ten years, and has been known ON the lake
in previous years as the Flying Dutchman
name was changed to Minnie Cook.
The water at the supposed scene of the
disaster is said to be about fifty feet deep.

wulProb.bIy Resume work.

CLEVELAND, July 12.-It is probable
that the Polish workmen of the Cleveland
Rolling Mill company, who comprised the
greater number Of the strikers, will resume
work within day or two. Their priest,
after an interview with Mayor Gardner and
President Chisholm of the rolling mill COM
pany, yesterday, stated he was satisfied the
men did not correctly understand the situa-
ton. In his sermon to-day he explained
to the strikers the condition of affairs He
advised them to go home and think the
matter over and go back to work.
He told them that if they committed acts Of
violence they would lose the sympathy of
the people and injure their cause. The
priest has great influence over the men, and
he expressed the belief, after the sermon,
that the Poles would al resume work if
the authorities would protect them against
the other strikers. The priest denies that
the Poles were imported to work for the
rolling mill company, claiming that many
of them are citizens and loyal to the United
States. The rolling mill company will be-
gin tomorrow morning the shipment of
manufactured stock, and it is rumored that
the ore department of the mills will be
started

Recaptured the Prisoners.

RICHMOND, Va, July IL. - About 4
o'clock this afternoon. while religious SER
vices were being held at the state peniten-
tiary, three white prisoners escaped, but
were soon after recaptured. 1t seems that
the three men, not being required to attend
services, remained in their cells and took
advantage of the absence of the guards
from the corridors to carry out precon-
certed plan of escape. They forced por-
tion of an iron grating from window and
then, by means of a rope made of blankets
and bed-ticking, lowered themselves to the
inner yards. Then, with the aid of the
same rope and an iron hook, they
pulled themselves to the top of the
wall and gained their liberty. They were
discovered after getting outside and pursuit
was instituted. Before being taken one of
the convicts, Green, was shot twice in the
hip and the other, Nixon, received load
of shot in the back. The third convict,
Joseph Pauley, was retaken without injury.
Two ofithe citizens, Peyton Handley and
Wesley n. Smith, were shot by the prison.

leased a large block On Washington avenue,
between First and Second avenues north,

fected by the sad casualty.

New YORK, July 12.-EX-President
Arthur is an ardent fisherman. Every sum-
mer he goes to the Thousand Islands of
the st. Lawrence or up into Canada for
two or three weeks of his fayorite
sport. President Cleveland also uses the
rod and line while of on his annual
vacations. These two facts wrought in the
mind of Bile Jarman, the owner of Jar
mans falls, a plan to get Arthur and
Cleveland together for a spell of fishing.
Jarman controls a stretch of salmon
stream in Canada, 100 miles from Montreal,
and he would like to pOpularize it. He
Is in town, after having spent week
in Washington endeayoring to obtain from
the president promise to accept his offer
of hospitality. He says that he urged
Cleveland through Private Secre-
tary Lamont that a sure surcease
from the politicians could be Sc
cured by throwing himself into the society
of the Republican Arthur, and Lamont went
so far as to say that the idea was brilliant
one If Arthur would agree. Satisfied that
all was right at that end of the line he came
to this city to see Arthur about it, but here
nobody took the pains to make a butt of
him and he is discouraged.

FIND RFFRFsHNrEST
Decision Against the Dolphin.

WASHINGTON, July 12.-Attorney Gen.
eral Garland has rendered decision on the
three points relative to the acceptance of
the Dolphin by the government submitted
to him by Secretary Whitney. The attor-
ney general holds that the vessel can
not be accepted, that no csntract
exists between Mr.. John Roach
and the government, and that the large
sum of money paid to him for the vessel
may be recovered. Mr.. Garland says:
This vessel, you inform me, has been found
to be defective in three particulars, two of
which are fundamental; that is to say, first
she does not develop the speed and power
which the contract calls for; second, she is
not staunch and stiff enough for the service
expected of her, and, third, the general
character Of her workmanship does not
come up to the requirements of the con-
tract as to the defects in the matter of
speed.
Continuing at considerable length and
citing prominent cases in support of his ar
guments, Mr.. Garland concludes: 1t fol-
lows, then, that no contract exists between
Mr. Roach and the United States, and
large sums of money which have been paid
Mr.. Roach have passed into his hands
without authority of law. and are
held by him as so much money
held and received to the use of
the United States and may be recovered
from him, and not only so, but the money
thus paid him by officials holding judiciary
relation TO the government having gone into
the ship Dolphin, court of equity will
follow il there and for that purpose enter
tain proceeding against the ship itself.
In support of this position need do no more
than cite the recent decision of the supreme
court of the United States in the case of
National bank VS.. Insurance company.

ELPAso, Tex, July 12.-The Iorigin of
the famous recent financial decree issued by
the Mexican government is now attributed
to Mr.. Jay Gould. 1t is said that he had
confidential agent in the City of Mexico for
some months past, who rstnegotiated with
the government touching large deposit
made with the government to secure the
Gould-Grant railroad concession. tits said
this negotiation led to more important
dealings with the general government, which
resulted in Gould's suggesting and outlining
the remarkable financial policy which cul-
minated in the decree funding the S25, O00,-
600 of Indebtedness and cutting off all sub
sides to railroads. During these negotia-
tiOns Gould is reported to have been heavy
seller of Mexican Central stock, and also
Mexican national bonds and stock. These
transactions on the part of Gould are just
coming to light, but good authority says
they can be substantiated.

Going TO Dakota.

SpeClsu 10 lnt
CHICAGO, July 12.-United States Sena-
tor Jones of Arkansas arrived at the Grand
Pacific to-day. He is on his way to Dakota,
where, as 4 member of the senate sub-com-
mittee on Indian affairs. he will
investigate the difficulties in the
Crow Greek and Pine Greek reservations.
He will be joined there by Senators
Harrison of Indiana and Morgan Of Ala
bama, also members of the commission.
Just before the expiration of President
Arthur's term of Office he opened up the
reservation to white settlers, but when
President Cleveland came in this order
was revoked. The result of Arthur's order
was to oleave the country in an unsettled con-
ditiOn. and the Indians are very dissatisfied
with the present state of affairs. Senator
Jones says the commission will carefully
look into the matter, and endeavor to ad-
Just the unpleasantness. In speaking of
affairs in his state, he said the Democrats
were well pleased with Mr.. Clevelands
administration, and were in hearty accord
with his civil service viewss The
Republicans in the South, he said, were in
tensly partisan, and carried their party
views to the extreme. He cited an instance
in his own town of Batesville, where
very offensive partisan had been appointed
rs postmaster by Arthur. The people, he
said, liked Villas, but thought he should be
a little more prompt in wedding out the Re-
publicans, who had made themselves OBJ

which were ploughed up, and chased each
other to the shore in rapid succession. So
great was the force of the wind that the
larger boats, even in shore, were tipped
heavily under the wind. Chairs on the
decks were picked up and driven by the
wind
LIKE STRAW,
while all loose articles of clothing were
swept away. Passengers rushed below,
and in some cases there were small sized
panics in the fear that the boats would up
set. The wind tore along the lakes
and the boldest navigators were
alarmed. During the height of
the gale it was impossible
to see more than one or two hundred feet
ahead, the wind driving the rain and hail
into sheets that looked like big
clouds of fog or smoke. Small boats
could not have lived a minute
in the center of the lake, the boatmen said.
The storm died away, however, as quickly
as it had come. Its fury lasted not more
than seven minutes, and then the
wind abruptly ceased. The rain
and hail ceased, too, the clouds
were driven by, and the sun came out, Civ
ing the edge of the retreating storm cloud
the same peculiar yellowish, hazy look
that 1t had had when it first appeared.
The waves soon died down and
in little while the lake was as calm as
before, save for the traces of wind that
made heavy swell. Boatmen said it was
the most severe storm since the heaviest
one two years ago.

Though some question was raised at the
time, the accounts were passed by the treas
ury department. Commissioner Colman
said to-day that he had not given out for
publication any statement concerning this
transaction and could not well go into
matter which had been adjudicated and
settled. He had received, he said, commu-
nicatiOns from persons who claimed that
the prizes were unfairly awarded, and asked
him to recover the money and pay it to
other persons, but, of course, he could not
do that.

The Storm.

The first indications of the storm were
given some half hour or so before it burst
upon the lake. At about $50 p. m. black
clouds began gathering in the northwestern
horizon, growing rapidly, and extending
in high black masses, well up
the sky. This threatening aspect
was the signal for numerous
craft to make shore, and though, when it
came there were many that had not got in, a
considerable number had done so. Itwas not
until past o'clock that the first drops of
rain fell on the Lower lake, though the
Upper lake had been covered with the
cloud for some time. AT 4:10
O'Clock the drops began TO come
and both rain and hail together. 1t had
been raining a minute or so when a gust of
wind. with the force of hurricane, leaped
from the clouds, which in a few minutes
blackened the whole sky. There was a
little lightning, and the air seemed
sulphurous. The boats that were .On
the lake were tossed by the waves
