the capsizing Saturday of the ferry
boat used by workmen at Spier Falls,
about ten miles west of Glens Falls, on
the Hudson river
Over one thousand men are en-

son River Power company. The Ia
borers and many of the managers are
Italians, who live in shanties on the
north side of the river. The main por-
ton of the work is carried on at pres
ent on the opposite side of the river.
Below the work about half mile is
ferry The boat is a scow shaped
affair thirty feet long and thirteen feet
wide and is operated by means of Co
bles.
Seventy or eighty men piled on to
be taken across. When some distance
from shore young boy of the party
came near falling in and several men,
rushing to save him, caused the ferry
to capsize and sink. Many of the men
were saved, but so far as can be
learned nineteen persisted in the swift
running river.
