CHICAGO. July 1s.-Lack Of the
usual amount Of water ballast and an
exceptionally large crowd Of passen-
gers on the steamer Eastland combined
TO cause much uneasiness on the 70
turn trip from South Haven last night
When the homeward voyage was begun
late in the afternoon all the passengers
tried TO find seats on the shady EidS
OF the boat This caused the steamer
to list heavily TO starboard. Members
Of the crew FASTENED to close the lower
portfolios. while many women secured
life preservers and crowded % Eha
steamers rail
This caused the boat 20 settle fuehR
to starboard and some Of the pasnsn-
gers became thoroughly alarmed
The crew was at once mustered ~
the officers and an attempt was made
TO reason with the frightened men and
women.
The passengers refused TO obey or
ders and finally. in order TO drive them
away from the rail, the fire hose was
used. 1t proved effective and ths
crowd went to the lower deck.
The women were persuaded into Shs
smoking rooms of the cabin and were
reassured by the officers, while tbs
men were talked TO outside by ether
members of the crew. The ship held
TO it's course, despite the petitions Of
the passengers TO turn around. and
finally reached Chicago. Many OF the
women insisted on wearing preservers
until the vessel reached its destina-
ton.

INTERNATIONAL JURYMEN
MUST PAY OWN EXPENSES
Judges From Germany to Worlds
Fair Go to st. Louis at Per-
sonaI Cost of $4,000.

BERLIN, July 1S.-Some irritation
finds expression in the newspapers
here because the management Of the
st. Louis Exposition declines to bear
the expense of the international jury
men. 1t was assumed here, upon the
basis of the exposition publications,
that the expenses would be borne,
and the newspapers now speak OF bad
faith in asking the judges to take
long and expensive trip at their own
expense to discharge a purely honor
ary function. One newspaper points
out that the expense of the hundred
German judges amounts to at least
$62, 900. other newspapers suggest
that the above outcome shows the
Germans acted too hastily in accept
ing the invitation to exhibit at st.
Louis.

The contracting parties were both
we'll known residents of this place and
pronounced favorites in Custer social

evening of their marriage for North
Tonawanda, N. Y, to remain, was deep
ly regretted by very large circle of ad-
miring friends. Mr.. johnson goes to
New York to accept lucrative position
offered through the medium of a tele-
gram which required his immediate at.
tention, which had the effect of an ear
lier elimination of his matrimonial in
tentions than had been previously ar
ranged, thereby making what would
otherwise have been more pretentious
wedding, a very quiet affair, Mr.. and
Mrs. w. w. Olds being the only guests

low them wherever their lot may be
cast, and that they may eventually re-
turn to Custer is earnestly and devoutly
desired.

States last Monday the case Of South
Dakota versus the state of North Caro-
lima was decided favorably to the state
of South Dakota. The case involved the
validity of mortgage on the stock of
the North Carolina Railroad company
given by the state Of North Carolina to
secure the payment of state bonds given
to aid the road in 1867. The state of
South Dakota holds ten bonds Of 81, 900
each under gift from Simon Schaefer
and Samuel NJ. Schaefer of New York
city, the amount due on the bonds being
$4,000. The decree directs that this
amount must be paid to the state of

lima. In default of payment of the bonds
one hundred shares of the stock of the
railroad are to be sold at public auction
