FOURVEEN ExCURsIoNIsTs KILLED.
MISEoLA, l.. L., Aug. 13.- The
employees Of Theodore Kaiser, Of
Graham avenue, Brooklyn, went on
an excursion to Laurelton grove,
Cold Springs harbor, yesterday, on
the steamer Crystal Stream and the
barge Republic. There were sC0
people crowded together on tht
upper deck Of the barge. Suddenly
a heavy squall struck the barge and
the upper deck gave way, pinioning
soout fifty persons. Fourteen per
sons were Instantly killed, and
twenty or more wounded. The in
jured were taken to Oyster bay fol
treatment.
Eight women, four children, anC
two men are killed. Just befor
leaving Cold Springs harbor docb
for the return trip, after all the pas
sengers were aboard, squall cam,
up, and the boat hands, anticipating
u shower, let down the canvas cur
tains which are attached to the hur
rlcane deck of the barge, ano
fastened them down to the port side.
This prevented the wind blowing
through, and as one strong gust OF
wind struck the barge 1t lifted the
starboard side Of the deck from the
fastening supports, and forced the
top over to the port side. AS il
pushed over the end of the deck
nearest the dock to which the barge
was fastened, 1t dropped down npon
hundreds Of women aud children
who had crowded over to that sid,
Of the barge in an effort to escape
In a moment the air was rent with
screams and agonizing cries Of vic
Tins whose livts were being crushed
out and limbs broken. 1t was il
the midst Of terrible storm, and
the waves ran high.
Some persons think the mast OF
the barge was strack by lightning
but this Is not known. In fifteen
minutes the falling deck raised suf
tlciently to allow all those who wert
alive and uninjured to crawl out
and the injured to be assisted from
the barge. The lileless bodies oi
fourteen were seen lying near the
gunwale. All had their lives
crushed out by being caught be-
tween the edge Of the fallen deck
and the guard rails. Women, chill.
dren, aud even strong men, weit
piteously as they looked upon the
dead or dying.
The falling aud sad results are
due entirely, IL is said, to the rotten
condition Of the supports of th,
deck. Many eXcursionists carried
home with them pieces of the center
post, which show that ii was per-
fectly rotten at the core. The barge
itself, IL is said, is unsafe in Other
particulars. Mrs. Schamant, whose
daughter Lizzie was among the
killed, says she was standing at the
upper end Of the barge. She saw
the storm coming and was trying {,
find shelter when a cyclone cam,
and ripped the top Of the barge Oft,
and minute later saw her daugh
ter's legs sticking out from between
the guard rail aud the edge of tn,
deck. She could hear her scream
Ing, but could not help her. Sh,
does not know what hecame Of heI
sister who was standing near her
aud fears she is killed also.
