brothers were enriched by more than
half million dollars profit through
the little transaction" of selling thei-

the features in the testimony that
Henry l.. ONnard gave to-day TO the
mouse sugar investigating committee.
Mr.. ONnard assigned as mis- reason

Miss Mary lockwood of the class of
1914, Middlebury College, was in this
accident, and the Miss Dewey, who
was drowned, was the lady with whom
she was rooming. Miss lockwood
writes, "You can't know what the
death prayers of women are till you
hear them. The doctors saved many.
A lady who saw me 90 down the second
time grabbed for me. She grabbed my
hair but had to let go. Before | had

Miss lockwood was taken to the
home of Mrs. Adams in Massena and
hopes to resume her duties in a week or
ten days. Other writings say, Miss
lockwood, after reaching the boat,
refused to be taken off till the last,
giving up her chance to those weaker
than herself. The whole town is mourn
ing and so far eight bodies have been
recovered.

at Lake Dunmore Burned.

Cottage at Lake Ounmore Burned.
By the explosion of an oil stove in the
Arcadia cottage, situated on the shores
of Lake Dunmore, the building was
completely destroyed by fire early Fri
day morning. The cottage was owned
by Edward C. Stevens and was occu-
pied by the Rev. w. H. Hammersley of
Mechanicsville, N. Y. The contents
were all destroyed and the family of
Mr.. Hammersley barely escaped with
what clothes they had on. He lost
among other things about 100 of his
latest sermons and a pocketbook con-
tanning a considerable sum of money
and some valuable papers, while Mrs.
Hammersley lost all her jewelry and
other valual les. The cottage was one
of the most complete appointed on the
lake shore end until recently had been
occupied by Mr.. Stevens and family.
As soon as the fire was discovered
the summer boarders of the surround
ing cottages formed themselves into a
fire brigade and succeeded in saving the
surrounding buildings. Help was sum-
moned from the Mountain Spring hote
nearby. The loss will be about SO, 000
partly covered by insurance.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hammersley have taker
temporary quarters with Hon. f. c.
Dyer.

SEVEN DROWN IN ST. LAW
RENEE.
into the River When Steamer
Capsizes.

Massena, N. Y, Aug. l. -Seven per-
sons were drowned in the St. Lawrence
river late this afternoon, when the
ferry steamer Sirius struck shoal eight
miles below this city, capsized and
hurled its rs passengers into the river.
Four bodies have been recovered.
Three of the bodies recovered are
those of women. They are Misses Hat
tie and Nellie Parker of Ogdensburg, N.
Y, sisters; Miss Dewey of Massena,
Floyd Hackett of Massena.
The identity of three persons, who,
according to the captains tally, are
missing, is not known. Scores of per-
sons in motor boats and skiffs are en-
deavoring to recover the bodies.
The steamer Sirius left the dock here
this morning for Cornwall, on the Can
adam side, with 76 persons bound for
a days outing there. Most of those
aboard were residents of Ogdensburg
and Massena. The picnic crowd board
ed the Sirius on the return trip about a
0 clock this afternoon and were seated
on deck under the canvas awning when
the crash CAME.
The deck was swept bare in a mo-
ment and the entire IS were struggling
for life in the swift waters. Womer
vino could not swim clutched at camp
stools and other portable articles hurled
into the river by the impact. while
others upheld and aided by male com
panions battled their way against the
current to the overturned steamer. Pic
r nickers at the International Park, jus
S opposite the scene of the wreck, manned
every motor boat and skiff available anC
i aided in the work of rescue
j They picked off scores who had cluns
to the sides of the ferryboat Others
benumbed and exhausted, were sweep
f down stream to death. Futile attempt
o were made by swimmers to save Mis-
Dewey and Floyd Hackett. So quickl,
y did the river claim its victims that thos
= who were drowned had already me
their end when boats from the Inter
national Park reached the scene, hardl,
five minutes after the crash
