CHICAGO, July 1.-THE base ball play

thing worthy of special note and that was
the fact that public favor seems to have
veered in the direction of tho League, il
attendance is any criterion, the numbers
being largely on the side of the old organ

twice as many on an average as went
through Brotherhood turnstiles. Satur-

the steamer was at the mercy of the
waves, which were now rushing over the
boat and all was confusion The boat
momentarily ran on to a bar and the
barge was cut loose and the steamer again
set adrift in the lake. A number of those
on the barge jumped and swan ashore.
As the barge also foated again into the
deep water those on the barge saw the
steamer as it was carried helplessly out
into the middle of the lake, and as they
were being tossed about on the raging
waters they were Mortified moment later
to observe the steamer capsize and its car
go of $50 people precipitated into the lake.
The Barge's Passengers Saved.
Those on the barge remained there until
they were drifted nearer the shore and
they were all rescued on swan ashore.
Among them were two ladies who were
brought to the beach by strong and ready
swimmers. There were about fifty in all
that were on the barge. The events that
transpired on the steamer after it sepa-
rated from the barge are probably most
clearly related by those who were rescued
from it just before midnight.
Awful Experience on the Boat.
As soon as the storm had begun to affect
the progress of the boat, Capt. Weathern
gave instructions to run the boat into the
Wisconsin shore, but the force of the wind
and waves was too terrible In five min
utes more the waves began to wash into
the boat and fill its lower decks, while
the hailstones, as large as hens eggs, came
down on the heads of the poor and help
less creatures who were huddled together
on the top
The Supreme Disaster.
A huge wave struck the craft on the
side at the same moment that terrific
blast of wind more forcible than the 9TH
srs came up, and carried the boat over.
All of the people on board, $50 or more,
wore thrown into the water, some being
caught underneath and others thrown
into the waves The boat turned bottom
upward and only about twenty five people
were observed to be floating on the sur
facs. These caught hold of the boat and
climbed upon the upturned bottom, and
those first securing position assisting the
others. Later, as the lightning Lit up the
heaving waves the fash of white dress
marking the struggle of drowning woman
could be seen, but the observers were help
less to aid.
Another Struggle with Death.
Half an hour later and as lights were
seen moving about on shore, with no
word of warning and rs they were just
beginning to hope that they would be
taken off by the citizens of Lake City, the
boat again turned over, this time on its
side, and again all of the twenty five re-
maining souls were hurled into the water
Of these several were drowned before
they could be brought to the boat by those
who succeeded in remaining afioat and
again securing hold on the boats side.

pinch bar, probably the same one
that had been used in gaining en-
trance to other places of business in
this city of late. The lock on the
upper rear door was badly shattered, g,
but bars within refused to yield to
their desires. The value of what
goods were found missing was not
great somewhere between $l5 and
$2o-consisting Of cheap coat and
vest, some underwear aud stockings.
The money drawer was broken in
getting it open, but only few pen

able raussckiug of drawers, ETC.,
was iadulged in, from which fact it
is evident that the burglars were
aware that ii was the custom of
those conducting the store to secrete
somewhere among the goods what
money would be on hand at closing
time. As it was they came within
a foot of goodly sum. Everybody
is satisfied that home talent is caus-
ing all this trouble to our business
men, and it is a wonder why they
don't combine on the detection and
proper punishment.
