an extensive acquaintance. A. b. Jackson.
the well-knewn lawyer, is brother. Mr..
jackson was born near Utica and was 80
years and months old at the time OF the
disaster. He leaves a widow and three
children, whose ages range from IL years
down to babyhood. Of Charles johnson,
the coachman, who lost his life in this
triple disaster, not much could be
learned last night He was sup
posed to be aged about 26 years, and
had been in the employ of MI. Jackson for
some years, and was a sober and industrious
young fellow. The news of this awful
affair quickly spread all over the lakes and
cast profound gloom in the cottages. At
the hotels the drowning was the topic of
the hour, and many conjectures were rife
whether or not other lives had been lost
1t is probable that tomorrow ether victims
may be added to the list, as the heat of
yesterday invited large crowds on the wa
ter, and boatmen report boats not re-
turned. There were rumors of some acct
dent on the upper lake and that a sail boat
had capsiZed near Big island, but these
stories were not confirmed at a late hour.
MIR. HURLBERT.
r. f. Hurlbert came to Minneapolis from
Syracuse, II. Y, in 1880. and formed a
partnership with Jacob Stone in the insur-
ance business, which continued for nearly
five years. When Mr.. Stone retired to go
into business with E. S. Corser, Mr.. Hurl-
burt turned his attention to real estate. He
built the handsome Hurlbert block on
Nicollet avenue and engaged i'll buy
ing and selling city property on
an extensive scale. For some reason he
was not successful, and made an assign
ment for the benefit of his creditors. His
failure created considerable surprise, as he
was known to have had $50. 900 at the time
of his arrival. If advantageously invested
it should have Melted him fortune. He
was married in 1888 to Miss Oracle
Hooley. daughter of r. NJ. Hooley, the
Chicago theatrical manager. They went
to housekeeping in a handsome residence
on Nicollet avenue. near Twelfth street.
where they lived until Mr.. Hurlbut BUTT
palatial residence on Park avenue, near
Twentieth street. where they have since
resided. Two children were born to
them. one of whom died but
month ago at Long Branch,
whittier Mrs. Hurlbut went early in the
season, and is now staying with her parents.
Mir. Hurlbut arrived at Long Branch just
in time to sec his child die, and after stay
ing there about two weeks returned to
Minneapolis. He had lately been staying
at Minneronka as guest of Mr.. Jackson,
who is brother-in-law. Mr.. Hurlbut
was about 80 years old, was highly edu-
Gated and was very popular in
both business and social circles.
STORM NOTES.
The Belle of Mnuetonka was beached in
WayZara bay yesterday during the storm.
Captain West said it was hard work handling
the large craft, and no one should have been
alarmed, but just the same the passengers
secured themselves with life preservers.
A guest of the Lake Park hotel who
viewed the storm from the roof of that hotel
stated that wave fully twenty-five feet high
swept across the lake just Off of Island park.
The storm caused quite fright at the
large hotels. AT Lake Park the rain entered
the diniug-room without apologies and that
apartment leaked much in consequence.
At Minneapolis last night the news OF the
accident caused profound sensation, and
many kilograms were sent to the lake from
anxious friends.
The telephone lines between the lake and
Minneapolis wers all down last night and
even the telegraph lines refused to work
quickly.
AN old sailor predicted last night that q
series of storms would prevail during the en-
tire week.
