THE FATAL LIFE LINE.

Ss" accident at a Chicago Pleasure R.-
 sos.-Iwo of Party of Fathers Drowned.
 e nany Others Narrowly Escape the
 same fate-Four of the ImperiIled yic-
 ''ms saved by Brave Swimmer.
 CHICAGO, Aug. Windsor Beach. . new fashionable summer resort on the south shore of Lake Michigan. within the city limits, was the scene of a double drowning yesterday afternoon. Julius ureenburg. married man, residing at foo fauilna street, and Minnie McCann. were drowned before the eyes of 5000 pleasure seekers. A dozen persons nar- rowly escaped with their lives. It was only through the bravery of Steven McCauley that the list of dead is not larger, for he rescued four persons from watery grave. The beach was lined with bathers, but the accident occurred suddenly and there was no chance to rescue the victims. there be- ing no life-saving apparatus at hand.
 Fourteen bathers were clinging to a raft located 100 feet from the shore near the life line, which was at the slx-foot depth A swimmer tried to climb on the raft when it tipped side ways and sank beneath the additional weight. The side motion caused it to swing under the life line, which swept all into the water
 Several in the party could not swim, and their wild cries for help did not reach the ears of the crowd on shore on account of the uproar. Mrs. Green burg saw her husband sink and be- came insane. All those who could swim made for shore. McCauley pulled one woman from the water by her hair, and made four trips, each time bringing person to shore who would otherwise have drowned. Green burg's body drifted into shallow water and was pulled out. McCauley recov- cred the woman's body by diving.

the fire from a consecrated altar in
stead of an ~accursed hell.
1T was a long time that we stood
there, while the people grew still as
death, for they had given up hope. And
then, when we thought it was all over,
the priest came out burned. choked,
scarred-but still alive. And he had
found and comforted the dying soul
with the last sacred rites of his faith"
The Old Beau paused, and l pushed
the bottle toward him. But he waved
1t aside, and took a deep draught Of
pure water.
"This to his honor" he said: II care
not what his church or creed-there
was a man."
Then he told me the rest of the
story.
Letting no one know his name, or
where he belonged. the priest hurried
away. They would have carried him
in their arms They would nave thrown
themselves down and let him walk
upon their PROSTATE bodies. But he
waved the people aside and went on
his way alone, though sorely in need
of aid. But / followed, and learned
who he was. And the next night 1
came here and told this story to the
club. And without the formality of a
