Six Lives Lost With the Schooner
NJ. J. Cummings.


MILWAUKEE, Wis.,, May 1S.-Hanging
TO the rigging of the schooner NJ. j. Cum
mings just south of Milwaukee lighthouse
tonight are the bodies of a woman and a
man, the former the stewardess and the
latter sailor. Four others, including the
captain, have been drowned, and one.
Robert Paterson. a sailor. is saved.
1t was the fiercest storm that has swep,
the west shore of Lake Michigan since the
crib disaster two years ago, when fourteen
lives were lest. The Cummings and the
schooner G. G. Barnes tried TO enter the
harbor early in the day and failed to make
the piers and were soon drifting toward the
beach on Jones Island. An unsuccessful
effort was made by the life-savIng crew 10
rescue all of the crew of the Cummings.
but they were nearly drowned in the at
tempt, the lifebOat being overturned, the
crew escaping almost miraculously. The
crew of the Barnes escaped and the vessel
cannot be released as she is light aud on a
sandy bottom.
Five men and woman perished on the
wreck of the NJ. b. Cummings before the
Iife-saving crew reached the wreck and
one Of the crew and a Iife-saver were res
cued. The men who perIshed fell from
their places in the crosstrees to the water
and sank like pieces of lead. The woman
is still lashed to the rigging to which she
escaped when the vessel began to sink.
Six thousand people lined the piers and
the shores Of Jones Island and the main
land when the tug Knight Templar, tow
ing a scow bearing the life-sayers, left the
piers to make the rescue of the crew. One
hundred feet of line separated the tug
from the scow. and back of the scow was
towed the empty surfboat.
With bow to the waves the Knight Tenn
plar permitted the scow to drop down
toward the wreck. When the surfboat
was within fifty yards of the wreck a hu-
man figure that had been cIinging to the
rigging of the miZzenmast was seen 10
thrown up his hands and fall backward
into the boiling waves, being instantly los,
to sight. A short time before another of
those clinging to the ropes had also let 90
every hold and perished. A groan went
up from the crowd as each body was lost
to sight, and then all eyes centered on the
surfbOat as it dropped back beside the
sunken vessel. Two figures slowly de.
scended the shrouds of the mizzenmas,
and chung to lines but few feet above
the waves Five minutes passed "a an
attempt was made by the iife-savers 10

men.

Upon Dangerous Ground.

LONDON. May 19.-The correspondent

as follows: It is believed that the young
King or Servia intends to make second

Vienna says: The Servians have discov
cred the existence of Radical conspiracy
in favor of the pretender Karagorevich,
the chief instigator being N. Pasitch,
formerly Servian Minister 10 st. Peters
