All Fell Victims to One Bolt Of
Lightning. -
All Were Swimming in the Lake
at Chicago.
FROM PIER.
The Whole Party Was ThrOwB
Into Water.
One Boy Rescued and is PrOba-
bly, Fatally Hurt.

Chicago. July Ia single stroke Of
lightning today killed eleven boys and
probably fatally injured the twelfth.
The flash occurred during heavy thun-
der shower which broke over the city
at 1890 p. m. The boys. it is said. rush
ed to the pier at the foot OF Monuose
Boulevard to seek shelter. Suddenly
there was a great flash of lightning and
people living in the vicinity heard ter
rife crash. A policeman rushed to the
pier and discovered that the bolt had
demolished the pier. which was Of heavy
construction, precipitating the whole
structure into the water.
Knowing that the boys had gathered
there he called assistance, and in half
an hour all the bodies were recovered
from the lake. The electric bolt burned
out the telephone wires in the vicinity
and for some time only meagre and
widely varying reports could be OBJ
tained.
The boys We're in swimming. having
fed to the lake to escape the intense
heat When the rain began to fail. and
it became evident that a severe cleo
tricaI storm was coming, they rushed
to a shelter they had built on the pier
for use while dressing and undressing.
Willie Anderson, u years Of age, was
the only survivor. and he was badly
hurt.
He managed. however. to crawl to
shore and was staggering along when
he met the policeman who was already
hurrying to the scene. In a few agoniz-
ed gasps he gave the officer a bare idea
of the horrible ending to an hours
sport. and then tainted. He was car
ried to a near by house where medical
assistance was rendered.
The stroke of lightning was the most
powerful which has struck in this vi
cinity in years. The roar which follow
ed it, was deafening. The pier was de-
nolished in a trice, giving the boys not
the slightest chance of escape. In age
the bathers ranged from - to rs wears
and evidently were from the poorer
classes.
Patrol wagons filled with policemen
rushed to the place and began the work
of recovering the bodies. The Wreciza sc
was removed with little difficulty and the
bodies. burned and mutilated placed in
the wagon and removed 10 the unuertas h
ing establishments in the vicinity Up to

A C R EAT RAILW AY.
The Four-Thorsund-M Road That Run

The our-Thor.nnd- Mile Road That Runs
 Through Siberia.
 The most interesting portion of Russia great 4,000mile railway is the steam ferry across Lake Baikal in central Siberia. The lake, says the London Sphere, has an extent of over thirteen thousand square miles, and IS more than twice as wide as the Eng fish channel at Dover. In places it is as deep as 4500 feet, and parts of 1t have never been plumbed It is sur rounded by some of the hardest noun tains which a railway engineer could encounter. The official plan of the Transsiberian railway includes a rail- way round the southern end of the lake, to connect the two lake shore termini but the enormous difficulty and expense, which is an important matter to Russia at the present time. of constructing such line conspire to indefinitely postpone it's completion. At present, therefore, the ra, way is broken in two by this huge Lake Bai- kal, the western shore terminus be- l ing at Baranshiki, and the eastern at MlsoNaya To link the two ends with steam ferry which would be able to break through the ice which covers the lake from the middle of December to May was doubtless suggested by the excellent work of the Yermak ice breaker in the Baltic Sir William Armstrong, Whitworth & Co.,. of New castle, Were the constructors of the Yermak, and to the order of the Rus sian government, they constructed {. second and larger ice-breaker, which was christened the Baikal Tne parts Of the vessel were put together on the shores of the lake by the firms en- glneers. It is curious that railway nrst suggested to the Russian govern ment by an Englishman should owe Us most vital part to an English firm. The Baikal has three lines of rails laid upon her main deck to carry one passenger and two goods trains across the lake. The trains enter the ice breaker at the bow, which is run up against pier. The rails are connect ed and the trains run into the vessel. W through three feet of ice at a speed of thirteen knots an hour. screw at bow with separate engine sucks away the water from underneath the ice at the bow, which thus splits from it's own weight; the two stubby bladed propellers at the stern at tie Same time force the vessel through the bro ken ice sheet. The actual track of the Baikal measures thirty-nine miles. There IS harbor and lighthouse at the southwestern end of the lake, but there is no dock where the BaikaI could be repaired in case of need At present, therefore, Russia's 40OO-mile railway is absolutely dependent for a through journey on the reliability of British-build railway ferry
