Caring for the Dead and AllsvIattng the
 SufSEings of the Wounded.
 ST. PAUL, Minn., July 15.-The shores of Lake Gervais, once dotted with the summer cottages of wealthy residents of St. Paul, are now the scene of utter ruin and desolation. A death dealing and devastating storm swept over 8 strip of territory two miles wide and eight miles in length, in the center of which is miniature and picturesque Lake GervAis, killing at least five per sons, injuring more or less seriously probably thirty othera, and destroying thousands of dollars worth of property. So far aa known the dead are:
 National Bank, St. Paul; J. H. Schur- mier, millionaire, of St. Paul, and his wife; Peter Gresen, John Goetschki, Mrs. John Mullaney and family of four children, Charles Schurmeier.
 Caring fer the Dead and Wounded.
 The citizens are doing everything pos = aihle under the distressing circum- stances in properly caring for the dead and alleviating the sufferings of the wounded. At the Coleman House every room up stairs and down is filled with cots upon which the sufferer is laid, ana . corps of doctors there in attendance, setting g and mputating limbs and dressing wounds.
 The black-robsd Sisters of Mercy are flying about and seem to be everywhere, administering comfort and assistance in the work of relieving pain and dis tress. A corps of assistants were kept busy making bandages, tearing up great rolls of linen and tearing it into strips of the requisite dimensio ns, which the doctors put to almost inn mediate use.

America's Great Lawyer Creates a Sensa-
 tion xt the Peace Congress.
 LONDON, July 15.-The address deliv- cred by MF. David Dudley Field at the opening of the Universal Peace Con- gress created veritable sensation, both in respect of the manner of the speaker and the matter of his speech.
 Mir. Field cited the United States as the most conspicuous example of sovereign powers living together in perfect peace and harmony, and ascribed their en- tirely amicable relations to the princi- pie of arbitration vested in the general Government, and so universally ac- cepted as to render resort to it most infrequent. He regarded the modern willingness of the powers to submit their disputes to arbitration as one of the most hopeful signs of an era of peace. He honored the wisdom which had directed the settlement of the African dispute between England and Germany, a settlement which had set an example for the world.
 During the century, he said, sixteen shillings Of each pound sterling of debt throughout the civilized world had been expended in the maintenance of armies and the prosecution of wars.

A RUSSIAN TRAGEDY.

A Mother and Five Daughters Put Them
 selves to Death.
 The Moscow police were notified by a woman who cooked for the Dobroveroff family that she had been unable to enter the house, and that all day no one had been seen coming out. The door of the Dobroveroff apartment was accord ingly broken open, and in the first room entered, the dead body of woman about sixty-four years old was found stretched on the bed. It was the body of the mother of the family, who had been dead several days. On table near the bed stood the image of a saint.
 The door leading into the next room was closed, and all cracks were carefully filled with small pieces of cotton. When this door was broken open ghastly sight was revealed. On the floor were stretched five dead women; four had laid themselves along the wall, placing cushions under their heads, while the fifth had thrown herself in the middle of the room at the feet ot her sisters, and lay with no cushion under her head and with handkerchief covering the face.
 They were the five daughters of the WOuldu III bue llESb EOOus AnoIE dRoA ranged from twenty to thirty-two years The youngest is said to have been very beautiful, and there were evidences that she was not as reconoiled to hel fate as were her other four sisters On trunk near by was note signed by the five sisters. It read: I've beg that no one be accused of our death"
 Four names were written in firm and steady hand. The fifth betrayed emotion. It was the name of Amelia, the youngest sister. Two sealed letters addressed to woman friends contained thirty roubles to pay some small debta owed by the unfortunate sisters. The | cause of death was apparent: In the room was too heaters, in the bottom oi which still smoldered a few pieces oi charcoal.
 Another sorry sight was revealed in a | third room, where lay twenty dead bodieS-seventeen were cats, three dogs. The pets had all been dosed with stryoh, nine to prevent their falling in the | hands of inconsiderate masters. The pitiable story revealed at the in | quest was that the daughters, when told that their mothers disease was incur, able, placed forty roubles in the hands of friend, whom they asked to attend to the last rites of their beloved dead It would be too narrowing, they said, tt look after all the details themselves. Il was near the Easter season, and they filled basket with provisions, cakes and eggs, and asked to have them dis tributed among the poor.
 From the time their mother died the daughte ters touched no particle of food but, buying a quantity of brandy, they induced the cook to drink herself tipsy and then allowed her to go to the the ater with her lover. While she wal away they deliberately prepared them selves for death. Each was dressed il @ white chemtse and black skirt.
 The only reason given for their sui eide was theiR abject misery. --BeTNl LaAtaR

FINDING THE DEAD
Sixty-One Bodies Recovered
 at Lake City, Minn.
WRECK AND RUIN ON ALL SIDES
Two Steamers Trying to Draw the
 Sunken Vessel Asunder.

ThS GstlmASo of the Loss of 114 Bodies
 win hO vsriHsd-Tho OmCers of the
 Iii EAted Steamer Were Under the In-
 husnOs of LiquOr-sisters of Mercy
 Caring far the Wounded,
 LAKE CrrY, Minn. July 16.-The latest report from the scene of the disaster shows that remarkable work is being done in recovering dead bodies,
 Doubtless there are many that will never be found, as it is almost impos- sible to get into the cabin of the sunken boat. It seems that that iS where many of the unfortunates took refuge, and it tearing of timhers to obtain even an entrance to the cabin. The work of the boys of the First Regiment, who came down from their camping grounds, is 6 marvel.
 There are two stsamers working ct the wreck trying to draw it asunder in hopes that the bodies confined may be released.
 The nearest report that can be gath cred is that there were 174 on board the fsted steamer when she went down. Captain sWitheren, in command 0f the steamer, appeared in the morning, and the report that he had fled, owing to his indiscreet conduct, is of little worth. It seems thaF the officer was overcome completely with fear, and when he turned the steamer about she sunk.
 The general opinion is that the esti mate of the loss of 125 lives will be verified. The sixtieth body proved 'to body, that of 6 young girl, is just being removed, making sixty-one. It Is now reported that the officers, of the ill-fated steamer were more or less under the influence of liquor when the boat started from Lake City on the home journey. The number known to have been saved ig new eatimated at about seYepty-fYe, which leaves about 115 people thought to have perished in the wreck. This number will undoubt- edly be diminished as full returns come in from those who have escaped. Despairing Grief As rapidly as recovered the bodies are conveyed 6ere for identification and then forwarded to their homes. Cries and shrieks follow rapidly the recovery tion of the dead by their distracted friends. A heart of stone would be touched by the despairing grief that | clouds every oountenance and tells of the family through which death has swept.
 An Awful Scene.
 The steamers succeeded ln pulling off the cabin. aud then the stoutes1 hearts grew faint ct the Scene disclosed Here young mans body is cold and stiff, with the form of his sweetheart l clasped close to his heart. A mother with two children at her bosom Hoated by next. Girls and boys, even babies, were looked together in the rigid em
 brace of death, some with faeeA DOT
