CLEVELAND. O.. July THE schooner
yacht Idler was lost in a terrific storm six
teen miles off this port this afternoon. with
six persons, all members OF the family of
James Corrigan, a wealthy vessel owner of
this city, aboard. The dead are:
MRS. JAMES CORRIGAN, wife of the
owner of the yacht.
MRS. CHARLES REILLY. aged twenty
two, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. James Cor

MISS JANE CoRRIGAN. aged twenty.
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. James Corrigan.
MISS IDA MAY CORRIGAN, aged ff-
teen years.
MISS ETA CoRRIGAN. aged thirteen

and Mrs Corrigan.
Mrs. John Corrigan was the only passen-
ger aboard who was saved. C: H. Holmes,

four sailors, two cooks and the ship car
penter were also saved.
The yacht left Port Huron yesterday with
the family of Mr.. Corrigan aboard and
started to Cleveland. Mr.. Corrigan was Ill
and left by train. The yacht was in tow
until she reached bar point, when the cap
tain left her tow and turned the yacht for
Cleveland At o'clock the storm came
I'D and inside of five minutes the yacht
sank. All the women, except Mrs. John
Corrigan and Miss Eta Corrigan, were in
the cabin when the gale came UP. They
became panic-strjrken and refused to leave
the place. The mate implored them to
come to the deck, but they refused. Mrs.
John Corrigan clung to a cork sofa when
the gale came and was saved.
According to the testimony OF several
sailors, the topsail, rnainsail and jib were
all set when the storm came up. This
is denied by Biggam, who says that they
were In good condition to face the storm.
Captain James Corrigan said tonight that
good seamanship could have averted the
tragedy. He is almost prostrated with
grief.
The Idler was a stanch schooner yacht
which Captain Corrigan recently pur-
chased from John Cudahy, of Chicago. The
captain declares that she could have
weathered the storm under good manage

The fire was one Of the most stubborn
that the firemen have had to contend with
for years Its origin was in the basement
of T. G. Evans & Co.'S china and glassware
establishment, on Fifth avenue, between
Wood and Market streets. The cause Is
supposed to have been a spark from
steam roller at work on the street In front
of the store falling through the basement
ventilator into box of excelsior. Three
alarms were turned in and very soon
large force of firemen were at work. The
fire baffied the firmen for long time. Be-
fore the men could get fairly at the fire Ii
broke out in the rear and the building was
at it's mercy. After more than an hour the
firemen got the upper hand of the fire, but
the building was deluged with water
At about $50 p. m. ten members OF en-
CINE companies No. and IL were working
on the second floor, knee deep in water.
IT appears that the weight of the water
with the already heavy burden the floor
was CARRYING in the shape of the big jew
elers' safes of Goddard. Hill & Co., was
too much, and it gave way. In its plunge
down it dragged the third floor with 1T to
the cellar. The firemen were buried deep
under the debris and it was believed at
first none would escape. Superhuman ef-
forts were made by the remaining firemen
to rescue their comrades, and in a little
while they were reached so they could be
conversed with, but they were SO pinned
down by timbers and other debris that IL
required several hours to release them.
To rescue Captain Crawford jacks were
required to raise a large portion of the
floor. He was under the floor two hours.
The others were badly bruised and cut
and one or more of them may die from the
effects of their injuries.
The money loss will reach 100000, of
which Evans e. Co. lose $4,000; Goddard.
Hill & Co., $4,000; Davis Mahon, 5000;
O. NJ. McClintock & Co., 5000; Allegheny
National Bank. s1.5oo. The losses were all
covered by insurance.
