DROWNED IN THE BAY.

cau Casualty In Boston HarbOr-A sail
Boat with Eleven Persons Board
Capsized by Squa11 and All but Two
Drowncd-The Victims an Instructor and
Pupils of the Boston Farm School at
Thompson's Island.
BosToN, April 12.-Sunday evening an
Instructor and ten boys connected with
the Boston farm school at Thompson S
island were capsized in a sail-boat, and
the instructor and eight of the boys
were drowned. The victims were:
A. +. Nordberg, instructor: aged
about 40.
Frank Z. Hitchcock. aged 10.
Homer f. Thatcher, aged II.
N Geo. L. Ellis, aged 16.
Thos. Phillips, aged 16.

Chas. Fl. Graves aged II.
Harry L. Loud, aged Is.

Those rescued were: c. w. Clements,
aged II; Chas. A. Lamb, aged 16.
Il The instructor had been to the city
during the day to attend church, and
the boys, constituting a regular crew
of the school, left the island at $50 TO
sail to City Point to convey the in
structor to the island. The trip is con-
sidered perfectly safe, having been
made for years without accident. The
trip was made, and soon after p. IN.
the boat started on the return. AT a
point between Spectacle island and
Thompson's island the boat was
struck by a squal1 and capsized.
The eleven occupants were thOwn
into the ice-cold water, but sue
ceeded in securing positions where
they could cling to the overturned craft.
At one time tug was seen in the dis
tance, and they shouted with all their
remaining strength, but could not at
tract attention. The night was cold,
and the shore and wharves were aban-
doned. When the time for the boat to
return to the island had passed the su-
perintendent of the school. Charles H.
Bradley, went to the beach to scan the
waters toward City Point to see if the
boys were approaching. There was a
fire on a neighboring island, and he got
in the range OF the fire light in the hope
that it would aid his vision, but he saw
nothing.
The survivors say that they saw his
form patrolling the beach and felt that
rescue would come. but it did not. Fl
nally the chill of the water and the ex-
ertion necessary to keep their heads
above the surface overcame the un-
fortunates, and one by one they were
compelled to release their hold. The in
structor was the first to go. Each Of
fered a prayer or word of farewell
to the others as he gave up his
hold on life. Some of them en-
dured the unequal contest for near
ly four hours, and it was II o'clock
when the boat, with the two survivors
still clinging to it but exhausted. drifted
in shore. They were Immediately cared
for and are recovering from the exhaus-
ton of their experience. Superintend-
ent Bradley came to the city and mott
fed the police and officers of the Boston
farm school of the disaster, and engaged
divers to search for the bodies.
This is the only drowning accident
that has happened to the school since

to keep their fiocks sheltered.

that they are in the habit CT exacting

whose business connections and methods
are not in strict accord with the law,
and that in this way from $1,000. 900 to
$40. 900 ,o0O is gathered in annually,

THE way in which Germany rose up
as one man to do honor to Bismarck on
his seventy-seventh birthday ami
versary is food for thought in more
than one direction. Bismarck's atti-
tude toward the grandson of his grand
father has not changed. But the un-
paralleled celebration shows that the
attitude of German public opinion
toward the ex-chancellor has under
gone a silent but sweeping revolution,
and again the old man is the idol of the
German heart.

The Russian government, it is said,
VIII adopt severe measures for the re-
Strlction of immigra ton. All foreign
erS acquiring lands in the empire must
become nationalized in three years or
leave the country; those who would be
citizens must learn the Russian Ian
guage and become acquainted with the
laws; residence of five years must pre-
cede naturalization; and, finally, the
minister of the interior can refuse to
grant the privilege of naturalization
without giving his reasons for SO doing.
Not many Americans will avail them
