placed in charge of doctors on the
shore of Appledore island and every
effort made to resuscitate them, but
the efforts were in vain and the nine
bodies are in morgue on the main
land in Portsmouth,
Among the drowned were H. Cole
man harrington and w. A. Award,
both law students at Harvard, rooming
at Forsyth hall. Award and Far
rington were good swimmers, and
they lost their lives in an effort to
save some of the women.
Skipper Miles feels that the disas-
ter was due principally to the fact
that the boat was overloaded. The
steamer Sam Adams was at once head
ed for the scene of the disaster and a
rope was thrown to several of the
women in the water, but only one, Miss
Alice Haggerty, of Exeter, had
strength enough to grasp it and be
drawn aboard the boat.

men were drowned Thursday after
noon when whale boat containing
a party of 16 walters and mattresses
of the Oceanic hotel an APpledore
Island was overturned by a squal 800
feet from the shore. The men were
college students serving as walters
during vacation and several of the
girls were school teachers. The
bodies of nine were recovered. The
party was in charge of Skipper Fred
Miles, an experienced boatman, and
no danger was unprecedented when the
party started out. When 300 feet
from the landing a squall arose and
in an instant the boat was bottom
up and the young people were strug-
Cling in the water.
The accident was witnessed from
both Appledore and Star islands and

TORNADO IN BALTIMORE.

Nine Perish by CapsizinG
of Boats.

Baltimore. Nd, July 21.-A fierce
tornado, characterized by windstorm
Of extraordinary velocity, thunder,
vivid lightning and heavy rain, sud-
denly burst upon Baltimore at 1870
p. m. Sunday, coming from the south
west, with the net result that II per-
sons lost their lives, hundreds of
houses were unroofed, trees in the
public parks and streets were torn up
by the roots, many buildings damaged
and several people injured. The storm
exhausted it's fury in less than Is min
utes. The damage done in the business
part of the city was comparatively
slight, being confined to the blowing
down of signs and injuries to roofs.
It was in the residence portions of the
city along the river front and in the
harbors where the wind spent it's vio-
lence.
Of those who persisted nine were
drowned in the harbor from open
boats, one was killed by a falling tree
and one by live wire. The following
is list of the killed:

MACKAY IS DEAD.
President of Postal telegraph Conn
pany and Former bonanza King
Expires In London.

London, July 22.-John w. Mackay,
of San Francisco, president of the
Postal Telegraph company, who had
been suffering from heat prostration
since Tuesday last, died at his resi-
dence on Carlton House terrace at
half past six o'clock Sunday evening.
Mr.. Mackay's condition had i'm
proved, but the patient had a bad
night, and Sunday morning consul
tation was held by three physicians.
Mr.. Mackay grew worse as the day
progressed. He was unconscious
most of the time, and died very
peacefully. The immediate cause of
his death was heart failure. The
right lung was found to be con-
gested and the symptoms indicated
pneumonia. t
Mr.. Mackay came to California in
1851 via Panama. He at once en-
tered mine, working with pick and
shovel in the placers of the Ameri-
can river and at Downieville. In
1859 he went to Virginia City, New,
and began mining on the Comstock
with varying success. His first real
start towards success was made
when he became superintendent of
the Kentucky mine in Gold Hill. In
1868 Mackay formed a partnership
with Flood, O'Brien and Fair. In
1871 this famous mining quartette
purchased the site of the Bonanza
territory north of the Ophir mine,
on the celebrated Comstock ledge.
They began work on a lode aban-
doned by Sharon and other large OPP
orators. The enterprise was a fruit
full source of ridicule in mining cir
cles, nothing but financial disaster
being freely predicted.
Without losing heart or patience,
the four men continued, expanding
half million dollars in prospecting
operations. The ledge was struck,
and over S11O,OOO,OOO were added to
the worlds stock of precious metals.
No accurate estimate of Mr.
Mackay's holdings in this state and
Nevada can be made, but it will run
up into the millions. He was the
owner of valua BILE real estate in this
city, and had interests in mines
throughout the state and Nevada
At one time his wealth was esti-
mated at s4o,oOo,oOO. He was the chief
owner Of the Commercial Cable COM
pany, an investment involving many
| millions, and is supposed to have had
millions invested in the Postal Tele-
graph company.

STEAMER CUT IN TWO.
Excursion Boat Goes Down in the
River EIbe-DrOwned Estimated
Between SO and 60.

Hamburg, July 22.-The steamship
Primus, of Hamburg, with 1s5 passen-
gers on board, was cut in two and sunk
by the tug Hansa on the River Elbe at
1880 O'Clock Monday morning.
It is asserted that divers have al
ready recovered As bodies, but as yet
it is impossible to verify the death
list. An attempt will Immediately
be made to float the vessel, and when
this is done it is believed a number
of bodies will be found. Estimates
of the number of dead vary from 50
to 60. A large number of the sur.
vivors were injured, though not seri-
ously.
The Primus was an excursion steam
er from Buxtehude, province of Han
over, Prussia. The disaster occurred
between Blankenez and Nienstdten.
Among the passengers were the mem
bers of the Eilbeck Male Choral So
ciety.
At the time of the accident the
Primus was crossing the river chan.
mel near Blankenez, from the southern
into the northern fairway. Accord.
ing to witnesses aboard the Hansa
the movement was made too precipi.
lately.
The Primus struck the tugs engine
room and the Hansa endeavored to
push her ashore, but the tug grounded
and the ships parted. The Primus
then sank. In the interval, however,
about so of her passengers were able
to reach the Hansa by means of ropes
and ladders. Seventy more were
picked up by the tugs boats, while
others swan ashore.

Philadelphia, who represented the
purchaser in the negotia tons.

"The Home Of the Gods,

The Black Hills, where the red man made
his last stand against civilization, was named
in Indian parlance Pa-Ha-Sap-Pa-the
Home of the Gods. The region is justly So
called.
The hills from the distance appear deep
blue; at closer view they are black, because
of the fir growth covering them. The seen.
cry is wonderful! The tumultuous streams
hurting themselves down the hillsides are
abundantly stocked with trout. The scien-
fist would find paradise there, the geolo-
! gist heaven, the miner ar earth full of pre-
! cious metals. Gold was first discovered in
July, 1874, near Custer City, by Mr.. N. Ross,
chief scout of Gen. Custer. The Black Hills
are said to be the richest Klondike America
has yet discovered.
In the midst of the Black Hills is situated
Hot Springs, the Carlsbad of America. The
weather is summary the larger part of the
year-always pleasant and healthful. As a
health resort Hot Springs is exceptional.
Ihe ealth-glvlng properties of its seventy
i've springs are phenomenal
Sightseers from all over the world are
learning of the interest this locality holds,
and every year the hotels entertain larger
lists of visitors
The Chicago & Northwestern takes the
traveller in a Pullman sleeper to Buffalo Gap,
where a change is made for the short ride
into the Hills to reach Hot Springs.
South of Buffalo Gap is the Cheyenne
river Wnlcn mas cut It's way between
banks of shale. In this shale, once the bed
Of an ocean, are fossils, petrifed fish and
snakes, and myriads of other animal and
vegetable things found in the bottom of sea-
Horseshoe curve, near Hot Springs, is
world-famous by now. Crystal cave is also
becoming familiar in the minds of tourists.
OF the town of Deadwood every American
and many a European has heard.
After leaving Deadwood one enters Spear
fish canyon, at the bottom of which twists
and foams the Spearfsh river. The river
has deep fall in one place, making one of
the prettiest cascades one would care to
see: And, by the way, if one is partial to
waterfalls, the Cheyenne river falls should
not be missed. Spearfish canyon, thirty-two
miles long, is a most impressive freak of ma
ture.
Battle mountain, the Wind cave, the
Onyx cave, the many queer-shaped rocks
that are known by various names, the gulch-
es and little lakes and rivers, the famous
Dakota Bad Lands the big geyser at
Cascade Springs are all wonderful, beau
tiful, inspiring, and interesting. The most
travelled travellers knowledge and enjoy
ment is incomplete if he has not visited the
Black Hills.
