FIFTEEN DROWNED.
Disaster In Cleveland Caused by over
loading a Ferryboat.

loading a Ferryboat.
CLEVELAND, July ia number OF
lives were lost IN an accident which &C.
CURED on the old riverbed near the ore
docks of the Cleveland and Pittsburg Rail-
way company.
The ore handlers had just quit work
and were waiting their turns to cross the
branch of the river on the flatbottomed
ferryboat which they had provided for
their own use. A number of the men had
crossed. When the ferryboat reached the
dock, the last time at least 20 men crowd
ed upon it. The boat, which is about 80
feet long and not more than feet wide,
would carry safely not more than a dozen
persons. The stream is not wide, howev-
or, and tho hurrying ore handlers had 20
thought Of danger. The boat was pushed
from the shore and was being propelled
across the stream. When it wns about half
way over, it began to sink. Then, as the
men rushed TO the side, it turned over.
All the occupants were thrown into the
water. Those who remained on the shore,
alarmed at the capsizing of the little craft,
at once threw life preseryers and planks
to the unfortunate men, but most Of them
sank like lead A few. however, managed
to swim ashore, while one or two were
picked up by tug.
The first report OF tho accident placed
the number of dead at %. but that proved
to have been an exaggeration. The life
saving crew, whose station is near tn,
scene Of the accident, was summoned al
once, and the work of recovering the bod
les from the river was begun. Within
short time IS bodies had been laid sid,
by side upon the dock, but the lifesayer.
continued the work.
After the 10 bodies had been taken
from the water they were conveyed to the
morgue for Identification. Following Is q

WEST BURKE.

Mrs. Della Ann Harris, wife OF John &.
Forrest, died April 16, 1896, at her home
in West Burke, aged 60.
Mrs. Forrest was the second daughter
Of lanes and Almira Locke Harris, and
was born January %, 1885. She was
converted in early life and united with
the North Congregational church of St.
Johnsbury, July 4, 1858 and was a mem
Der of this church until her death. She
married John E. Forrest January 10,
1869, After about three years residence
in St. Johnsbury they removed to West
Burke where they have since resided.
Mrs. Forrest was beloved by all who
knew her. She was ola kind and sym
pathetic nature, with a cheerful DISPOSE
ton and selt-sacri6cing in her devotion
to her family. She was a constant at
tendant at church services and greatly
enjoyed the fellowship of the people OF
God.
During the months of illness through
which Mrs. Forrest passed prior to her
death, she bore her sufferings with pa
thence and with a firm trust in her Saw
Jour. When the end drew near she called
her family to her bedside and gave tc
each a parting message and tender fare
well, and then sweetly fell asleep. Sh'

WAsHlNGTON'S MARRIED LIFE.
Mrs. Washington's Mother Scarce Contrib

Mrs. Washington's Mother Scarce Contrib
uted to the Harmony of the Household.
"There is every reason to believe that
Washington S married life was one OF in
creasing happiness and satisfaction,
writes General A. W. Greedy, U. S. A.,
in The Ladies' Home Journal. "Unfor-
tunately his letters to his wife were de-
stroyed by her. But there are sufficient
illusions in his general correspondence
to indicate that they grew together with
declining years, and that both husband
and wife showed that consideration to-
ward and respect for each other which
are the soundest guarantees of marital
happiness. Since circumstances did not
permit frequent visits of his wife to her
relatives we find Washington inviting
her mother to come to Mount Vernon as
her home. 1t does not appear that this
introduction added to the harmony of
the household, or if it did the admission
of other women, relatives of husband or
Of wife, did not.
"In this respect Washington, writing
later about his niece living at Mount
Vernon, speaks Of his love for her. but
he says, i will never again have two
women in my house when I am there
myself Mrs. Washington proved an IN
failing support to her husband in camp
or court in peace or war, and Washing
ton had her happiness and comfort al
ways at heart. His field service was irk-
some only as entailing constant uneasi-
ness on the part Of his wife. Of the
many instances Of his tender solicitude
for her uncertain health there is none
more touching than that connected witt
his fatal illness. Attacked suddenly ant
seriously after midnight, Washington''
malady was at least fastened by his un
willingness that his wife should incu.

bitter winter night to relieve his suffer

Ar Englishman's Account OF His Fine
sport In the Highlands.

An Englishman's Account Of His Fine
Sport In the Highlands.
Hunting in the highlands of Peru is a
very enjoyable if little known sport, ac'
cording to an Englishman "who spent
some days hunting from $4,000 to 49,
900 feet above the sea on grassy plains
or in valleys surrounded by high monn-
tains." There is considerable small
game-snipe, ducks, Gull Gull "a kind Of
grouse) and quivio Ga kind of guinea
fowl)-but the game a sportsman out
for a day or two seeks is vicuna and al
paca. The vicuna is the wild llama and
is a shy animal with great vitality, re
curing neck or shoulder shots to kill.
The alpaca is the mountain vlcuna, llv-
ing on the coarse and scanty forage of
its home region. Its wool is foot long,
but SO curly and fine that it fits TO its
body like a darky's hair. Both are relat-
ed closely to the guanaco of the Pata-
gonia deserts, which sometimes wanders
into the uplands of Peru.
The Englishman carried a 44-4O
American rifle and a 16 gauge shotgun
for small game.
Entering a large pampa," he writes,
tive sighted a herd Of vicuna. We tried
to ride around them, but they made off,
passing Ashmore at about 200 yards.
Lying down. he opened fire, and a fine
specimen rolled over. We cleaned it,
loaded it on to a pack mule and rode on,
soon striking another herd Of seven,
which at once made off, but my second
shot at 140 yards dropped one dead. This
we took, and soon after bagged two
brace of culi-culi,"
That night the hunters rolled up in
their blankets on the mud floor of a hut.
Hammocks strung from post to post
would have been better. Next day, after
a restful night, they "began to shoot the
valley adjacent to Caraguiri." Some OF
the writer's bullets hit two vicuna at
1870 yards, and some of the others hit the
valley. The dead animals were loaded
on the pack mules, and after going over
the summit of an IS, 900 foot mountain
the hunters had the rare good fortune
for that region of jumping seven guiana
CO, which ran too fast for the mules the
men rode and struck a gait across the
pampa discouraging to the hunters.
"But leaping from my mule" say
the writer, "and sighting my rifle a
, 400 yards, l dropped a bullet ahead O.
them, and the bunch of dust scared
, them to a ~standstill. I then pumped
the remaining nine bullets into thu
, herd, and two fell dead"
, A 1896 rifle would have been bette
for such long range work, and a 40-9'
still better, but no matter, the guanaco
3 were killed. One was 40 inches high a
3 the shoulder and weighed 40 pound
-. dressed. The other was SO inches hig
1 and weighed 70 pounds dressed.
= The total bag was two %guanacos, seN
t en- vicuna, seven brace Of culi-culi, on
o brace of quivio, five ducks, three snipt
and no end Of fun. The end of the hui
was to the tunes of a banjo and a pian'

James Payn, the London writer, says
q young man was paying his attentions
to a "beloved object" contrary to the
wishes of her father, "a mar of thews

kicked the lover violently into the
street. In a day or two (after recovery
the rejected suitor, apparently not one

once more. "What, againl" exclaimed
paterfamilias, putting on his we'll soled
