DEATH IN THE RAPIDS.

Yesterday afternoon Ed johnson and
Geo Brunkey met death by drowning in
the Wisconsin river just below the dam
in this city.
the Associate Jn drive in charge of O'Day
& Co., of Merrill. Work of clearing the
rapids OF the hung-up logs was to com
mellce and a crew Of fourteen men III a
bateau started out for the center of the
stream below the dam. A pole in fire
hands of one of the men got fast in the
rocks and the boat swung around, allow
ing the current to catch it on the side. LII
an instant the boat went over and the
entire number were thrown INTO the
rushing waters. All the men bat John
son and Bronkey managed to get to a
place of safety, these two being carried
down the stream. Fifteen minutes later
their bodies We're recovered near the
wing dam a few rods below. Johnson's
head was badly bruised and Bronkey's
shoulder was broken. AS the men were
expert swimmers and had worked on the
river for years it IS thought that they
were injured at the tipping of the boat
and were thus made unable to help
themselves. Bronkey was forty years of
age and Johns thrty-two.
A sister of Bromley resides al Merrill
and the remains will be taken there for
burial. Nothing is known of Johusons
relatives and this afternoon his body
will be laid to rest at the cemetery in
this city.-Rhinelander Herald.
Both of the above were well known to
our citizens as they had followed the
vocation of logging for several years
and made many friends here while per
forming their duties laid out to them by
their employers. The news of their
death was q shock to their frien DIS and
acquaintance here.

FIRES RAYAGES.
Totally destrOyes Bartran's Shingle
Mill and entire stock.
six thousand dollar loss-With no Incur
anee.

Last Thursday afternoon at two
O'Clock p. M, fire destroyed Dave Bar.
trans shingle mill and the entire stock.
The mill was located OH the bank oi
the Eagle River. at the junction OF that
stream with the Wisconsin river, lying
about two miles west OF the village and
being the plant formerly owned and
operated by .. W. Avery & Co.
Mr.. Bartran had but recently purchas-
ed the mill from the National Union
Bank, of Oshkosh, and had just got it in
nice running order. The mill had been
closed down for the past week, in order
to let the Mckinley drive pass, that they
could get their single timber out of the
Wisconsin River and up to the mill.
Mr.. iiartran stated to representative
of this paper that the origin OF the fire
was unknown, advancing two theories
as to the probable canse. First that
probably it caught from the
archway in the fire place or thatlt might
caught from some sparks blown from
the fire pit, the former seeming to be the
most probable as the heavy showers
that occurred last Wednesday had nearly
extinguished the fire i'll the pit. Mr.. Bar
tram was around the mill between 1915
and 1890 Thursday and discovered
nothing unusual or no signs Of fire. The
fire e5Ceurad about Two o'clock p. m. and
was not discovered until the structure
was entirely enveloped by the greedy
red tongued destroyer, tanned by the
strong winds it was but short work for
the flames to lay waste and destruction
where but a moments before the wheels
OF industryrstoo ready to respond to
the demand OF mans in genuity. So
quickly did the flames move upon their
destructive tour that the stock consist
ing of about six hundred thousand
shingles valued at about one thousand
dollars were also consumed by the
flames before they could possibly be re-
moved to place Of safety. JAS. Ober-
holtzer who was filler at the mill also
sustains quite loss, the fire destroying
his filing tools. whcih he has been ac-
cummulating for years and was valued
at three hundred dollars.
The mill bulldog was valued at five
thousand dollars and not insured. The
loss is severe one to Mr.. Bartran as we'll
as to the village of Eagle River as it throws
upwards of thirty men out of employ
ment and it was Mr.. Bartran's inten
ton to run it the year around. He had
but recently entered into this enterprise
and was excelling his most sanguine ex
pectatious, intending in short time to
improve the plant and to increase his
labor force. 1t is uncertain whether OF
not the mill will be rebuilt. Mr.. Bar
tsan expects representative of the
Nation Union Bank to be here i'll a day
or SO and it will then be determined
whether or not it will be rebuilt.

the fancy trick rider it didn't seem to
make much difference i'll what position
the wheel was llewas OH all the time.
He rode it standing on his head and in
every other conceivable way. He turned
the wheel completely over without once
stepping off. He would jump over logs
and pieces of wood that was laid around
for that purpose, then he would jump
both wheels off the ground at once and
many other tricks too numerous to men
ton, then to cap it all he rode around
the track on the rear wheel with the
front wheel high in the air. 1t was two
days Of amusement that will not soon
forget.

pletely turned around and the first time
and only time in three years that have
been working at this work. After leav-
ing these cities and getting further into
the mountains the scenery was beautiful
but could not enjoy it long as we soon
came to the snow sheds which com
pletely covered the cars. This shed
covered the track for nearly one hundred
miles without a break for the villages
except where it had been burned out by
fire. AS said before it was very hot
when left SACRAMENTO, but the next
day when arrived at q place called
Summit, at all altitude OF about two
miles got out Of the cars and packed a
few snowballs while the engine was TAX
ing rest. This place,was at the top

General McKenna has been in tele-
graphic communication with the United
States marshal at Jacksonville concern
ing the application Of the owners Of
the steamer Dauntless for permission
to clear from Jacksonville with a cargo
of munitions of war. The marshal is
now making an inquiry, with a view to
obtaining additional facts to enable the
attorney general to rende an opinion
on the application. The cabinet con-
ference Of yesterday did not dispose Of
the matter. Until the opinion of the
attorney general is rendered the Daunt-
less will not be allowed to clear. A
question yet to be settled definitely Is
whether a vessel can take out papers
for some alleged Cuban port, known to
be fictitious. Permission was given the

exist, so far as this government is in

UNSUITABLE
Another Terrible Disaster on Her Treach.
erous Ids Steamer Wrecked and
Many Lives Lost-Four Out of Eighty.
Two Persons Survive and They Driven
Mad.

AsU
New York, March 1S.-Augustin For
get, the French Lines agent al this
port, made the following statement of
the disaster to the seamer st. Nazaire,
as he had learned it from Captain
Berri's disconnected remarks:
TIL ST. Nazaire encountered a temp
est when fOrty-eight hours out from
New York for Port au Prince. The
steamship had made about 210 miles
from this port and was somewhere of
Hatteras. Heavy seas swept the
steamship continually from Sunday af-
ternoon to midnight. They poured
down the matches and put out the fires
in the engine room, rendering the YES
sci helpless. Captain Jaquenau order
ed out the boats, seeing no other hope.
Four boats were launched, only to be
crushed against the ship. In a momen-
tary Iull the other four boats We're
launched in the lee of the wreck and
all on board crowded into them.
The boat in which Captain Berri got
contained thirty-seven persons, all told,
including a woman and four children.
Captain Berri took command and or
dered signal lights carried for the 9TH
er boats to follow. The our boats
parted company, however, almost at
once, and Captain Berri never saw
trace of the other three after leaving
the ship. Everybody worked ard to
keep the bats head to the waves and
all suffered most intensely through the
first night. Some frOZe to death and
others jumped over BOARD. OF the last
days Of the terrible experience Captain
Berri has only a haZy recollection"
AlphonSe DumOis, one Of the passen-
gers on the ST. Nazaire, was a brother
of Hippolyte Dumois, head of the firm
of H. Dumois q Co, fruit dealers of
this city. Ramon Jiminez, another of
tn passengers, was the head of the
firm of r. J. Jiminez & Co., contractors
and engineers, also of his city. Agent
Forget furnished a complete list of the
passengers and crew who We're in the
vessel when she left. There We're but
eleven passengers in all on the ship,
but the crew list numbered seventy-one
men. The names of the passengers are
as follows: A. Dumois, l.. Dumois,
San Domingo; Ramon Jiminez, Maya
Puezyna Sarnolle, Port au Prince; Mr.
and Mrs. Juan de Dois Tijada and four
children San Domingo.
The officers of the vessel We're white
men. The rest of the crew were color
ed. Captain Berri was a passenger
although not on the list. He is an Off
Ger of the steamship The
four survivors were picked up by the
schooner Hilda on Sunday Afternoon
about ten miles off Fenwick island
Four dead men were in the boat with
the foul living. The survivors are al
a fair way to recover their health, al.
though all fOu were insane when res
cued. The vessel left New York March

and the survivors were rescued

He n rented n house near Dunn's
and under the floor of one OF the rooms
