Eight OF a Party Of Twelve Swallow
ed in the Waters Of a Pond-A Strong
wind BIowlbg-The Rowers lnex-
perienced.The Boat Rocked by a
Child-Names of Victims.
FALL RIVER, Mass, May 25.-One of the
saddest and most heat-rendering accidents
which has occurred in this city for years
took place on Watuppa Lake, abou. 1915
o'clock this afternoon. A party of twelve
persons, comprising Samuel Wittels and wife,
Henry Wittels, Willie Wittels, Levina
Buckley, Willie Buckley, Frederick Buckley,
Willie Turner, John Buckley Edwin Wittels
and George Hammer hired boat at the pond
and went out rowing. There was a strong
wind blowing and the water was rufded. The
boat into which the party embarked was
q common thirteen-foot fat bottomed one
and the seating capacity is eight, too small
to accommodate so many people. The party
was observed trying to work their way toward
shore, just north of the pumping station.
This was difficult work, as the water was
rough, the wind strong and the rowers in
experienced. When the boatload of pleasure.
seekers was within twenty feet of the shore
one of the children rockaA the boat. The
men cautioned the child to remain quiet,
but the child was unmindful of this advice.
Suddenly without moments warning the
boat capsizsd. .Heartrending cries rent
the air, which !" were heard by Fireman
Bullock Of the pumping station and
James Laffsrty, but they were unable
to render. any assistance. Mr.. Turner
was the only one in the party who could
swim. In the meantime the women were
STRUGGLING In tho wafer. Three or four par-
ties On shore cried to these to cling to the
boat, but their failing strength was unequal
to the task and women and children eank
out of sight. Four of the party had struck
out for the shore on their own hook and sue
ceeded in reaching it in an exhausted con-
dition. The following were drowned, their
bodies being recovered later in the day:
Samuel Whittles, aged 30; Mrs. Whittles,
aged 45; Henry Whittles, aged 10; Samuel
Whittles, jr., aged 10; Lsvina Buckley, aged
As; Fred Buckley, aged 8; Willie Buckley,
aged s; Willie Turner, aged 9.

Local News and Notes.
No game to-day.
In second place, Ell. "Welli Well! I
guess not"
ttOhic" Hofford has been off in his throw
ing the last two games.
New Haven defeated Baltimore Saturday
in splendid game by score of 2 to /.
Lynch, Lally and Mckee are pulling down
everything in the outfeld. They are doing
better at present than they have done at any
time before this season.
Connie" Doyle played the third bag out
the game for New Haven in the last inning.
Do it some more, Connie"
Corcoran was the center of much abuse
from the Baltimore players after the game
Saturday. Larry judged as be thought best
and no one can accuse him of favoritiem,
Dan Lally came in for his share of the
praise Saturday by throwing a man out at
the plate. This discredits the general opin-
ion that he is shoulder bound.
The local team has handsomely supported
Homer of late and the hue and cry that was
raised at one time about Homer being the
victim of clique has been suddenly
squelched.
If Doran and Horner continue to hold the
Opposing teams down to FIVE and six hits
right along, some of the teams in the big
leagues will want them and be willing to pay
big to get them.
A young man on the Baltimore American
seems to think the ''Orioles" are the finest
fielding team in the association. Come to New
Haven some time and watch the Yankees
gather in the leather. Your opinion will
soon change.
1t will be many day before local lovers of
the game will see New Haven put better
game in the field than they did on Saturday.
They were credited with four double plays
and every one of them WAS heartily applaud
ed by the audience.
To-morrow's game will be holly con-
tested one from start to finish. Baltimore
will again be the opponents of the local
team and Doran and Hofford will endeavor
to do them up as easily ss they did the
second Washington game.
The unnecessary kicking that the Balti-
mores INDUCED in Saturday cost them esn-
siderable. Captain Powers was fined $40,
Baker $40 and Tate SO. Corcoran might
have possibly given the visitors little the
worst OF it on two decisions, but neither of
them did any harm. At any rate, there was
no need of their continual kicking. It was
the only drawback to the game.

Business Mems Excursion.
On Saturday about 100 business men rep.
resenting manufacturers, shippers of freight
and prominent citizens of Hartford, New
Britain, Springfield, Aerides, Bristol and
Waterbury went on an excursion to New

nal company, the Heusatonic system and
Meriden, Waterbury and Cromwell railroad

to afford the business men an opportunity to
inspect the advantages offered by those
routes. The party left Springfield at $40 a.
m. and after taking friends on board at
Hartford, Waterbury and Meriden the train
proceeded to Wilson's Point. Here the party
was transferred go the steamer Cape Charles,
which wss gaily decorated for the occasion.
They were welcomed on board by
William H. StarbRck, president of the Hou-
satonic system; j. II. McCauley, and others.
At New York the excursionists were shown
over the buildings and docks owned by the
company there. On the return trip supper
was served on board the boat.

LONDON, May 2s.-The Times this morn.
ing prints long and caustic letter from Mr..
Stanley in reply to the recent uttaranoas of
Lord Salisbury. Mr.. Stanley declares that
he has nothing but a sentimental interest in
any part of Africa, but he says that on fnd-
ing that many of his friends have embarked
their money in an African enterprise on the
strength of a charter not worth q counterfeit
sixpence unless the terms of the understand
ing with Germany are rigidly adhered to,
and there being every Indication of dis
position on the part of the government to
help Germans instead of Englishmen, he had
urged his friends to discover the exact limits
of their territory.
He wishes to quarrel with neither Ger
many nor England, but Gays boldly that if
the German colonial demands be granted it
would be more economical to make Germany
a gift of the whole British sphere. Then
British investors might obtain so many shil-
lings for the pounds they credulously have
been victimized out of. In conclusion he de-
clases that the German sphere is the finest
In Africa, and adds:
''5till their cry is Give! GiveI If you
think they are better adapted than the Eng
lish to civilize the African do not hang half
heartedly. Yield all, including Egypt.
Never a word of protest shall you hear fro m
me. Excessive aniability may become an
