ASTEAMER WRECKED
The Lusitania Runs On q Reef
During a Dense Fog.
The PASSENGERS PAyIC.S7RICKEy.


St. Johns, n. f., June 27-The
orient steamer Lusitania, having 800
passengers on board, was wrecked
Tuesday night off Cape Ballard. Cape
Ballard is situated on the coast of
st. Johns. The Lusitania mistook her
course in dense fog and went
ashore near Renews, 20 miles north
Of Cape Race, before daybreak. The
ship ran over u reef and hangs against
Q cliff. The passengers, who are most
ly emigrants, were panlc-strcken.
They stampeded and fought for the
boats, but were overcome by the OIL
GERS and crew. The rougher element
among the passengers used knives,
The women and children were first
landed and the men followed. The
crew stood by the ship. A heavy sea
was running, but at latest advices the
'1usitania was holding her own. 1t
was thought likely, however, that she
would prove wreck. One boat was
upset and its occupants were i'm
perscd, but none Of these were
drowned, Another boat, having on
Board 20 persons, was supposed to
hive been adrift in the fog, and this
gave rise to the report that 20 persons
were drowned by the upsetting of a
boat. The missing boatload of passen-
gers was, in fact, landed safely.
The steamer Glencoe arrived here
at midnight, bringing six first, Is sec
ond and 1876 steerage passengers and
% Of the crew Of the Lusitania. Capt.
McNay md the chief officers Of the
ship remain with the, wreck. The
passengers are almost entirely Rus
sian and Polish Jews The steamer
struck at 1880 Tuesday morning dur.
ing dense fog. Capt. McNay had to
force the vessel upon the reef, for
II he reversed the engines the whole
ships bottom would have been torn
out and she would have sunk instant
~. The panic among the passengers
was intense. The drawing of knives
by the passengers wasnot general; 1t
occurred in isolated instances only.
All the passengers and crew agree
that II the Lusitania had struck the
rocks In rougher weather not soul
on board would have been saved.

Panther, W. Va, June 2O.--The at
tempt of mob to lynch negro yes
terday at jaeger, five miles south OF

tmed by officers. who hurriedly sent
him to the Jail At Welch to avoid the
vengeance of the enraged populace.

STORM At PIT7SDURG
The Elements Ragged In All Their
Fury for half an Hour.
BUILDINGS STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.
At . Picnic tho Storm Caused Women 70
Faint aud Even the Men to Give
Way to Fright Widespread
Damage Done.

Pittsburg, Pa, June 27.-The storm
which struck Pittsburg and vicin-
ity yesterday afternoon was short in
duration. but terrific in power and
disastrous in effect. The lightning
and thunder was practically continu-
GUS for about 30 minutes, the wind
attained velocity of 80 miles an hour
and there was heavy rainfall. In
two minutes of the time .l5gof an
inch of water fell, which would repre-
sent three inches an hour. The tenn
perature fell "a degrees within an
hour. One woman was killed instant
ly by lightning and several other per.
sons may die from the same cause.
Numberless houses and churches were
struck by lightning. In the city
proper no fatalities are reported, but
in Homestead Mrs. Alice Lester aged
"a, was struck by lightning and in
stantly killed. Her husband is a steel
worker employed at New Castle.
Miss Gray jackson, aged 10, Of Home
stead, was struck and her recovery
is doubtful, Richard Rucker, also OF
Homestead, was frightfully burneq
by the electrical fluid and will hard.
ly recover. Rev. John Sauton and
Clay Fands were badly shocked, but
will recover.
The waters rushed down the hills
around Homestead and literally en-
quilted the town. The extent OF the
damage done there is the worst in the
history of the town, and will reach
many thousands of dollars. Besides
the numerous houses wrecked, four
iron bridges of the Monongahela
street railway were washed out.
Dozens of washouts occurred between
Pittsburg and Hazelwood and street
car travel was suspended for over an
hour
At South avenue, the end of the
Suburban Traction companys line, a
picnic party composed of 1000 per-
sons, 700 of whom were children,
gathered in the dancing pavilion for
shelter from the storm. Lightning
struck a tree within eight feet of the
pavilion and set fire to the structure,
The picnickers were panic-stricken,
women tainted, children screamed and
even the men in the party gave way
to their fright. Fortunately, the
heavy ram extinguished the flames,
and though a large number of the
party were more 'or less badly hurt
in the picnic, none was seriously in
jured.
A similar picnic ensued at st. Jo-
seph's parochial school, on Mount
Oliver, where commencement eXer-
cises were being held. The hall was
filled with children and their parents
when lightning struck the building
tearing portion of the roof away
Pandemonium reigned for time, but
no fatalities resulted.
From all surrounding towns re-
ports are coming telling of the wide
spread damage done by the storm
all the reports uniting in saying that
it was the severest known in years.
