LACK OF BALLAST
Nearly Caused a Panic on Chicago
Excursion Steamer.


Chicago, July 18.--Lack of the usual
amount of water ballast and an excep.
tionally large crowd OF passengers on
the steamer Eastland combined to
cause much uneasiness on the return
trip from South Haven last night
When the homeward voyage was be-
gun, late in the afternoon, all the pas
Sengers tried to find seats on the shady
side of the boat. This caused the
steamer 10 list heavily to starboard
Members of the crew fastened to close
the lower port holes, while many Wo-
men secured life preservers and crowd
ed the steamers rail- This caused the
boat to settle farther to starboard and
some of the passengers became thor-
oughly alarmed. The crew was at
once mustered by the officers and an
attempt was made to reason with the
frightened men and women.
The passengers refused to obey or
ders, and nnally, In order to drive them
away from the rail, the fire hose was
used. It proved effective and the
crowd went to the lower deck. The
women were persuaded to enter the
smoking room of the cabin and were
reassured by the officers, while the men
were talked to outside by other MEM
beers of the crew, The ship held to its
course despite. the petitions Of the pas
sengers to turn around, and finally
reached Chicago. Many of the women
insisted on weaxang life preservers I'M
til the vessel REACHED its dock.

NEARLY TWO INCHES.
Waterbury Streets Got Another Good
Washing This Morning.

Waterbury was visited by another
rain storm last night which lasted
from 2.20 o'clock until after this
morning. 1t took a rest now and
then, but the breathing spells We're
very brief and before it cleared off
Nelson J. Welton states that the pre-
cipitation amounted to LA, consider
ably more than that of last week. The
rain was accompanied by loud peals
of thunder and sharp flashes Of light
ming, which disturbed the slumbers of
many citizens, although some never
heard the racket and claim they never
got a better nights sleep i'll their
lives. The water did some damage to
the streets, but nothing very serious.
In several instances the wind carried

knocked down chinaneys and tore
shingles OFF buildings. Joseph Dano-
savage Of Drayer avenue was tumb-
ling and tossing in bed and wondering
if the storm would never cease when
dozen or more bricks were thrown
from the chimney, almost soaring the
wits out of himself and the rest of
the family. It also ripped off some Of
the shingles. The storm was Welcpm-
ed by the wafer deartment and every
body else who wants to have an
abundant supply of the article for the
balance of the warm weather.

LEFT FOR ST LOUIS.
National Convention Of the A. 0. II.
Will Omen To-Morrow.

County President Timothy II. Luddy
of the A. o. III. and Francis O'Br1en
left yesterday for st Louis, where they
will take in the sights at the fair and
also attend the national convention OF
the A. o. H., which opens there to-
morrow. 1t is expected that the con-
vention will make a handsome appro-
priation to help along the study of the
Irish language in this country and
Canada. For the first time in the
history of the order. the delegate from
New Haven county. mr. Luddy, is a
Gaelic scholar. and If the deliberations
of the meeting We're held in that
tongue he would be just as much at
home in taking a hand in the discus
sion as he will be with the use OF
English. Some day, perhaps, the pre-
siding officer of the national conyen-
tion OF the A. o. III, will confuse spec
tators in the galleries by calling the
meeting to order and delivering his
address in Irish, as O'Connell did at
one of the monster meetings in Ire
land, thereby keeping those whom he
didn't want to have catch on in the
dark and putting all the reporters
with the exception of Stephen j.
Meany out of business for the time be
ing. 1t may be long time before
anything likeS this happens in the Unit
ed States, but judging by the interest
taken in the rejuvenation and spread
of the Celtic tongue such "a thing does
not seem too visionary for those who
would wish to see it come to pass to
hope for.
