wreck, and in that position they per-
ished. Now and then voice would
cease as life ended. Kind hands were
doing all they could, while even those
who were injured assisted in rescuing
others.
The fire companies arrived on the
scene, but the chief became flustered
and yielded to the impression that no
water was needed. More than an hour
had passed, and the engines stood
ready to throw streams of water, but
no orders to do so were received.
The next train which was due at
Ashtabula was stopped before reach
ing this city, telegram being sent
along the line. Spectators stood on the
banks, some at times aiding the res
cuers, others merely watching the
dreadful scene. The odor of burning
flesh made even the air tell of the
dreadful scene. Agent Strong, who is
still agent at this depot, was at the
scene all night, and was a most valu-
able assistant.
The excitement throughout the coun-
try was intense.
NINETY-TWO WE'RE KILLED
and sixty-four injured. For a long
time after the fatal night people visit

On Jan. II. 1877 Charles Collins, en-
gineer of the Lake Shore road, was
found dead in his room. The sense of
his responsibility regarding the affair
led him to commit suicide He had
rendered his resignation as chief en-
gineer Immediately after the disaster.
His body now rests in a handsome
vault near the last resting place of
the unknown dead. One Of the great
est losses to the world was that of P
P. Bliss, the sweet singer and COM
poser. His body was never found, and
is undoubtedly under the sod over
which a monument now stands. On
Jan. Is, 1877, memorial service was
held in DR.. Goodwins church in Chi
cago for Mr.. Bliss. Mrs. Bliss also
pershed with him.
For more than eighteen years the
unknown dead of this fearful disaster
have lain buried beneath a sod which
has not even supported a slab to mark
the resting place of twenty-one bodies
and numerous pieces of human flesh
carefully saved from the debris. Thou
sands have in these intervening years
visited this spot of ground in beauti-
full part of Chestnut Grove cemetery,
in Ashtabula, and have wondered why
some suitable mark was not placed to
the memory of the many lives, as
we'll as on the last resting place of thd
world-renowned singer and composer,
P. P. Bliss.
In the early part of the year 1891 T.

Ashtabula, decided to make an effort

BHNSHEE IN FRONT
A NEW BOAT TAKES THE HONORS
IN THE RACE AT WHITE
BEAR.
SHE SAILS A GREAT RACE.
THE AURELIA LEADS ALL OF
THE CATBOATS OVER THE
LINE.
Speediest SIoop of the Second
CIGss-AuspiciOus Opening of
the Season at the Lake.

The White Bear Yacht club sailed
its first race of this season yesterday
afternoon, Commodore Deans Aurelia
won the pennant for cat boats; Bar
mum and Hewitt's new boat, the Ban
shee, came in first among the first
class sloops, while Carl Taylor's Storm
King proved the speediest sloop of the
second class. The club has never had
an official more popular than its pres
ent commodore, nor, since the palmy
days of the Nushka, has it claimed
as good a cat boat as the Aurelia
which won the Taylor cup so hand
Somely last year. That the Aurelia
should inaugurate the season with an
other victory was therefore peculiarly
gratifying to every member of the
club. Among the largest and fastest
boats-the first-class sloops-the hon
ors went to new boat, the Banshee,
when displacing the Columbia, the IA
vorite for the two past seasons, and the
winner of four championship prizes
last year. The success of the new
conner will add the ZeSt of uncertainty
to the summers sport, and prodigiouS
efforts will be put forth by old and
new boats to be made the clubs rep
reSentative against the Minnetonka
champion next September. AS against
these agreeable features, it must be ad-
mitted that the rainy weather pre-
vented an adequate attendance, while
the wind, although steady, was too
feeble to put the racers on their mettle.
Many persons were disappointed by the
absence Of train to the lake at 1:25
p. M, as had been announced. Like
the true sailors wives and sweethearts,
the ladies did not desert their yachts
men, and many Of them graced the oc-
casion with their presence.
At 2:30, the hour designated for the
first gun, it was blowing gently from
the north, and fine drizzling rain
was falling, but not until an hour Ia
ter did the wind freshen sufficiently
to justify the signal for getting ready.
The little brass cannon in the upper
veranda of the club house was dis
charged by A. B. Ovitt, as judge of
the race, to the great alarm of his fair
assistants, Mrs. Woodward and Mrs.
L. P. Ordway. M. j. Boyle also as
sisted, but he kept afar off, and

VIROQUA, Wis, May 30.-The monu-
ment erected to the memory of the
late jeremiah Rusk, President Harri-
sons secretary of agriculture, was ded
icated today with imposing ceremonies,
conducted under the auspices of the
Grand Army. The dedicatory address
was delivered by Col. John c. Spooner.
Gov. Upham and all the state officers
and many United States senators and
congressman, together with delegations
representing every post of the Grand
Army in Wisconsin were present. The
monument consists of a plain pedestal,
surmounted by a shaft thirty-three
feet in height. A tablet at the base
bears brief epitome of the life of the
late soldier-statesman while bronze
shield attached to the lower part OF
the shaft is inscribed with the sentence,
Non sibi, sed patria,e." Not for
himself, but for his country"
EX-SENATOR SPOONER
said. among other things, after telling
of the various posts of honor that Gen.
Rusk had held: Every state has it's
strong and able and patriotic men in
the public service. The country will
not be wanting in them in the future,
but jeremiah M. Rusk was of type
in this day unique and picturesque.
He was of the Lincoln and Jackson
stripe, born of the environment of the
pioneer, coming out from among what
Mr.. Lincoln was wont to call the
plain people - self-taught, masterful,
genuine - accomplishing so much for
the public good without adventtious
aids. The frontier is gone, the school
house is everywhere; the father of to-
day of whatever condition can educate
his children. The pioneer is gone with
the frontier, and the circumstances out

reer of Rusk are not likely to arise
again. Had 1t been Gods will to spare

SHY OF WIND.
The 5Tonka Yacht Race Declared
Off in Consequence.

Off in Consequence.
The first race of the Minnetonka.
Yacht club season was declared off
Yesterday after the course had been
gone over once in an hour and fifty
minutes. The breeze that sprung up
lightly early in the morning was very
weak at 9 o'clock, and fell almost to
dead calm at noon. A good-sized
crowd came out on the early trains
from the cities, and the performances
of the new boats were watched with
good deal of interest, despite unfaVofa-
BILE conditions. The new Walker boat
showed herself worthy of the model
on which she was built, being the last
but one to cross the line, and finish
ing third. She would have won on her
allowance had it been in the finish.
Mr. Hopkins new sloop, Orphan,
sailed very pretty race, doing excel
lent work to windward. There was
an interesting piece of maneuvering
between Kite and Orphan in rounding
the Point Lookout buoy. Several tacks
were made, but Orphan had the closer
haul and rounded four minutes ahead
of her opponent, starting off at good
pace down the last leg Of the course.
She had a good lead until her wind
was cut off by the. timber on Gibson S
point. The Watson boat, Marie, came
up just at the finish and seemed to be
we'll handled.
The last gun was fired at 1885. Spe-
Gals got away first, with Senorita in
the lead, Cupid and Kid following,
Ten miDutes later the second-class
sloops Bird and Ethel got away. An
other gun and the big boats were sent
away, Kite leading Siren, Thistle, Or
phan, Lorelei Walkers boat Wasp,
and Marie following in the order given.
They covered the first leg wing and
wing. Wasp gained on Lorelei, run
ming close to her along Big Island.
Orphan overlook Siren just beyond the
island, but lost ground by difficulty in
getting her jib in.
The boats were in this order roundf
ing Crystal bay buoy, with Kite lead4
ing, then Siren, Orphan, Thistle, c. Il.
c., Lorelei, Wasp and Marie. The Point
Lookout buoy was rounded with orr
phan leading, Kite, Siren, Thistle. and
Wasp following, others behind. The
calm ON the third leg held the leaders
till the others came up. They crossed
the line in a bunch, Kite finishing
first, Orphan second, Wasp third, This
tie fourth, Lorelie fifth The race had
been declared off before the others
crossed the line Wasp won on actual
time.
The Excelsior club race was not
sailed on account of lack of wind.

tracing teeth for one day and giving
the entire proceeds to the fund. The
electric street railway gave the pro-
ceeds of its business for one evening,

first to help along these plans. The
great singer, Ira d. Sankey, made
liberal donation. Mrs. James A. Car

others who deserve mention.
