UNDER THE ICE,

Four Little New Workers Go Skating-The
Ice Breaks and All Are Drowned, To-
gether with Their Parents, Who At
tempted Their Rescue-A Whole Fam
lily Lost-Seven Boys Meet Death in the
Mississippi River.
KINGSTON, N. Y, Feb. 10.-The whole
Waikiki valley is distressed over ter
rible drowning accident that occurred
Sunday afternoon at the Third Binne-
water, one of chain of four lakes in the
picturesque valley of the Waikiki.
Six persons fell through the ice and
were drowned. Their names were:
Jacob B. Slater, Mrs. Jacob Slater, two
Slater boys, boy named Bush and lit
tie girl.
The unfortunate children decided to
have run on the ice. They obtained a
hand-sled. The Slater boys put ON their
skates, and the other children sat on
the sled. When some thirty feet from
the shore, their fresh young voices join
ing in Sunday-school song, the ice
gave way, and, with de-
spairing shrek, the skaters
and the sled-riders disappeared
from view. Mr.. and Mrs. Slater lived in
cozy house in proximity to the lake.
The mother heard the cries of her off,
spring. and cloakless and hatless she
ran to the Binnewater and to her death.
She had gone only ten feet when the ice
gave way under her feet, and with the
cry, 20, my children" she disappeared.
Mr.. Slater was returning to his
house; he heard his wife's last words
and saw her struggling in the waters
of the lake. The ice had been
broken up all around her. Slater ran
to her rescue but he, too, ran only to be
engulfed as she and their children had
been. He disappeared from sight
silently. The calamity wiped the en-
tire Slater family out Of existence. No
bodies have been recovered.
SEVEN BOYS DROWNED.
New ORLEANS, Feb. 10.-A sad acct
dent occurred Sunday afternoon in Car
rollton. Eight boys, all residents of the
upper city, secured two pinnaces, and
jumping into them started out to take
a ride on the river. Their course
led them between two empty
coal barges lying at the head
of Octavia street. There was .
strong current running at the
time, and despite their efforts the yawls
were hurled by the current against the
barges, causing both boats to upset, and
seven of the eight unfortunate youths
were thrown into the river and drowned.

Mr. MERCER, member of the Cana
dian Parliament was believed to be
joking when awhile ago he offered bill
giving one hundred acres of land to
every father of twelve children who re-
sides IN the dominion. But he got the
measure passed, and it is now law to
be treated as seriously as any other of
the Canadian statutes. Fathers that
come under the provisions of the act
are already reporting in considerable
numbers, and, while there is no such
fecundity in Canada, perhaps, as pre-
walls in the tropics, the Government is
likely to give away good many acres
of its public lands.

the bridge proposed across the Bosphorus
connects two co1tinents-Europe and

pensive, Is not q work of any great en-
cheering difficulty. The project has
been In contemplation for number of
years, but it has been put off from time

railroad development now justifies the
outlay, and the historic stream connect
