A PLEASURE YACHT SUNK
A FATAL DISASTER ON LAKE
GEORGE, N. 7.

The Rachel Sherman Ran Upon
Suuken Pier and Went to the Bot
tom With All on Board-Passen-
gers Battle for Life in the Dark
ness.
About 8 O'Clock. few nights ago. pleas
ure party, while going to dance at the
lower end of Lake George, \. Y, met with
terrible accident.
The steam yacht Rachel, owned by D. W.
Sherman. proprietor of the Pearl Point
House. was carrying Twenty-Five people up
the lake. The little vessel was turned to-
ward the One Hundred Island House ard
was gliding toward the landing when the
passengers were thrown forward by sudden
shock.
In the dark the vessel had run upon a
suoken pier. and before assistance arrived
from the shore it sank with all on board. 1t
was only few minutes after the shock when
the Yacht careened to one side ana went
down in eighteen feet Of water.
The shriekfng, struggling passengers bat
tied for life in the darkness. women threw
ND their arms and sank beneath the surface.
When brought ashore they were dead. Deeds
of heroism were performed by the men.
When all in sight had reached the shore it
was learned that nine persons. all women.
except bow of nineteen. had been drowned.
AS soon as pOSSlDl0 al ~ ACSONOA VIZ
bodies was made After strenuous efforts all
the bodies were brought to the surface.
The dead are Miss Hattie Hall, Brooklyn ;
Bertha Benedict, Montclair. n. j. Miss
Edith Harding, HobokeS, n. J. Miss II: NJ
Burton, Jersey City; Mrs. J. FL. Mitchell,
F. G. Mitchell, Lizzie Corley, Clara Black,
Burlington, Vt. D., Lizzie Clark, Bridgeport,
Conn.
Some of the passengers were caught under
the shade deck and were drowned quickly.
It seemed hours before help arrived, though
a dozen men were on the water in rowboats
almost before the smokestack sank out CT
sight.
The rescued passengers were taken ashore
and count of the number taken. At hrst 1t
was reported that only three were drowned,
then the number was increased to five, then
seven, and finally nine.
Young Mr. Benedict. son Of the New York
ieweler. who was on the boat, is an expert
swimmer He tried to save his sister, and
dived for her once. Frank Mitchell, aged
nineteen, of New York City, lost his life try
ing to save his mother, who was also
drowned Robert Sims, of Glens Falls, and
others who assisted in the search for the
bodies, did not give up until they had found
them.

THE WHEAT SAVED.
Parasites Save the Commissioners
Lot of Trouble.

Professor Otto Lugger, Minnesota State
entomologist, who was sent to investigate
threatened raYages OF the army worm, said
that the worm swooped down upon
Kittson County, prepared to devour
everything in sight. and would undoubtedly
have done 50 but for parasite. He went TO
a field where the worms had already COM
menced operations, and In digging up lit
tie piece of earth less than a foot square,
found at least 100 OF these pests.
He SUBMITTED @ number CT specimens to
microscopic examinations. Upon nearly
small that it could not be distinguished
with the naked eye, had fastened itself
and was slowly eating out the worms
life. Professor Lugger went to the County
Commissioners. who were in session
prepared to do what they could TO pre-
vent the ravages of the pest, and told them
they need give themselves no further trou-
BILE. Nature had taken the matter out Of
their hands. They were incredulous, es-
pecially when he told them that inside Of
three days there would not be live army
worm in the whole Northwest.
Such has proved the case. The next day
he made another examination and found at
least fifty per cent. of the worms had al
ready succumbed to the inevitable, and next
afternoon forty-fve per cent. more died.
Now not one of them is to be found alive.

HOW TO MAKE CHEESE At HOME.

Have tinman solder a faucet near
the bottom of one end of an ordinary
tin wash boiler which will hold five or
six pailfuls. Fit movable tin screen
inside about three inches from the
faucet and extending about the same
distance above it, which shall hold the
curd away from the faucet. This, with
a long wooden paddle, is all you need
order especially for the work, except
cheese cloth, rennet and a cheese
press.
Six pailfuls of sweet milk, with the
cream all in it, will make about fifteen
pounds of cheese. It need not be of
one milking if it is perfectly sweet.
Put the milk in the boiler on the stove
and heat it to eighty degrees. Remove
from the stove and add the rennet.
The tablets are easiest to use and the
directions accompany them. When
the milk has coagulated, which will
take place in ten minutes or less, it
must be cut to the bottom of the boiler
each way, making about two inch
squares The whey will begin to start
almost at once. Sink small dipper
into it slowly, and the whey may be
removed gradually until two quarts or
more have been collected. Heat this
rather hot, not scalding, and pour it
over the curd, stirring it very care
fully. When at 100 degrees open the
faucet and allow the whey to drain
out, dipping it ont from the top as be-
fore described. When drained, sprinkle
half teacupful Of dairy salt on the
curd and crumble and mix it thor
oughly with tho hands. Have a square
of strong, loosely woven cloth wet and
placed in the cheese hoop, which
should be the size Of q peck measure.
Press the curd into the hoop, adjust
the cover, after the cloth has been
folded on the top CT the curd, and sub
NIT the cheese to gentle pressure.
Prepare bandage OF cheese cloth
large enough to go around the cheese
and wide enough TO nearly cover the
ends. Lay on the ends another piece
AID sew to the piece around the
cheese. Keep at seventy degrees in a
dry room. Too much salt or too much
scalding when heating the curd hardens
the cheese, while careless stirring
starts the ''white whey and allows
much of the butter fats to escape. -

BIG FIGHT IN SAMOA,
Fifteen Warriors Heads Brought in
Triumph to Malietoa.

War broke out in Samoa between Malie-
toa's and Mataafa's forces, but war ships of
the three powers interviewed and stopped the
fighting. Mataafa and his chiefs have sur
rendered.
Mataafa's loss was thirty killed, twenty
wounded. The first outbreak of hostilities
occurred when the royal forces started their
march on Male. Mataafas camp. They cap
tured an outpost and disarmed four men in
it, who were afterward set at liberty. Next
day war actually began and first blood was
shed. Fifteen heads were brought in triumph
to the King. Mataafa's forces were scattered.
Malietoa had carefully planned his attack.
and but for the accidental discharge of gun
which precipitated the conflict Mataafa's
forces would have been exterminated.

BIG BARNS BURNED.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Morton Suffers a
Great Loss at Rhinebeck.

The large barn on ex-Vice-President Levi
P. Morton's place at Ellerslie, near Rhine
beck, n. Y, was burned at 4 o'clock a.
M, with the chicken house; carpenter shop
and other buildings. Nine horses, eighty
head of Guernsey cattle, several hundred
tons of hay, number of reapers and now
ing machines, and other valuable property
were consumed. The total loss will be near
ly 100000
The barn was one of the largest in the
country, being 800 feet long. 1t was Il new
one, having been completed but few months
ago. The old barn was burned about year
ago. The fire started in the large barn. The
cause is not known, but it is thought to have
been of incendiary origin. There have been
several tncendiary fires lately in Duchess
County, at Wappinger Falls, Channyyiue.

WFARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Lettuce is a good food for the poul-
try.
Do not feed the poultry unless they
need it.
The eggs should be gathered at least
twice daily.
A good dust bath IS necessity for
healthy fowls.
Give the chickens plenty Of fresh
air AID sunshine.
Milk, either skim or butter, is ex-
ceilent for chickens.
Pigs grow well on grass, clover being
especially good for pasturing them
On.
The amount of eggs laid is largely
governed by liberal bu: wise feed
ing.

The joint Committee Vote !. to q TO
asjeef-rhe Railroad To be Al
lowed TO Make Another.
The joint committee of the senate and
house ON railroads met again Yesterday
evening, and after three hours of discus
sion decided, by vote of Il to 6. TO re-
Ject the proposition as embraced in the
oil of Mr. Spruill as printed in the
CHRONICLE of yesterday. This is
much larger vote against the proposed
compromise than was expected. IL is
perhaps true that majority of the sen
ate branch of the committee favored the
the Spruill bill. The house branch Of
the committee was strongly against the
bill
The sub committee WAS instructed TO
have an interview 10 day with Messrs.
Elliott and Walters. of the Wilmington
and Weldon company, for the purpose
Of ascertaining If tney will make another
| proposition OF compromise to this effect:
A surrender of ali exem ption from tax
alton; the surrender of all rate making
poweT-both passenger and freish the
surrender of the rignt TO build branch
roads; the charter TO be amended So as TO
permit the building of branch roads
from the main line thirty miles in length,
and three years back taxes to the state,
the counties and municipal corporations
on all property including the main line.
The object in curtailing power to build
branches IS TO prevent the building into
other states, and To prevent the
parallelling of the Atlantic and
North Carolina road from Kiuston to
New Berne. Ii this proposition Is not
submitted tc morrow by the railroad
company the Joint committee will report
the enabling bills now before then with
the recommendation that they pass.
The passage of these bills will enable the
state, the counties and the cities and
towns to put the property of the com
pany on the tax list and provide the
means of assessing the same. When
this has been done and the compan
then refuses to pay such taxes AS viii
be dem snded, the courts Will b,
open for suits to compel payment.
II is not believed that the railroad
company will make a second proposition
of compromise as herein set forth and al
suggested by the large majority of th'
iOlnt committee Ii this course is takeI
the whole controversy will De relegaleC
10 the courts and litigation will begin
and end in the Supreme Court of tn
United States. This will require severa
! years unless the suit when put on tn
I docket should be advanced for hcarin;
and speedy determination.

much Glazed and claim that the Legisla
ture is with them, and that having wo
