Results.

Results.
New ORLEANS, Feb. 10.--YeSterday
afternoon eight boys, all residents of
the upper city, secured two pinnaces and
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 a strong cur
rent running at the time and despite
their efforts the boats were hurled by
the current against the barges
causing both to upset. Seven Of
the eight unfortunate youths were
thrown into the river and drowned.
Their names were: Frank Landry, aged
II; George Sampson, Is; Willie Winters,
Is; Martin Perrierc. Is; Louis G..
Fulda, IL; Alvy E. Fulda, Is, and
Eddie Kneept IS. Wilton Bo-
hey, aged seven, the only occupant of
the boats who escaped, saved himself by
catching on to one of the overturned
boats. None of the bodies have so far
been recovered.

Father and Mother Both Perish With Their
Four Drowning Children.
KINGSTON, n. Y, Feb. l0.-The four
children of Jacob Slater were skating
on the lake at Binnewater, about six
miles from here, yesterday afternoon
when the ice, which was but few inches
in thickness, gave way and all were pre-
cipitated into the water. The shouts were
heard by the members of the family
who lived near by, and the father and
mother rushed to the rescue, but
by the time they had reached
the lake the four children had disap-
peared beneath the ice. The mother,
frantic with the thought of her drown
ing children, rushed upon the ice, which
gave way with her weight and she sank
below the surface. Slater then attempt
ed to reach his wife and he too was
drowned. The entire family is wiped
out of existence. Last night hundreds
of people gathered about the lake search
ing for the bodies.
