Buffalo. N. Y, June 25.-Upder the
weight of a large crowd an excursion
dock at Eagle park, Grand island, Nj

and 20 persons were drowned.
Seventeen bodies were recovered in
the first few minutes after the acci-
dent, but 1t is doubtful If many more
will be found until after they have
gone over the falls, which are but a
few miles below the cen Of the ac-
cident, as the current from Grand is
land to the falls is exceedingly swift.
The few electric light bulbs strung
over the dock cast little light over the
merry-makers and they were unable
to notice the movement OF b struc-
ture as the supports weakened.
Suddenly there was a crash. fol-
lowed by cream as the men and wo-
men slid from the floor into the raging
current Of the river. The light wires
were broken and the place was In
darkness, punctuated by the cries OF,
the helpless women and children.
The confusion was SO intense and
the few who escaped the disaster
were so helpless to aid those in the
water that many lives were lost which
could have been saved under ordinary
circumstances.

ed the witness suddenly OF the ami
versary of the tragedy and questioned
him sharply as to circumstances of
the killing. Both Thaw and his coun-
Sci, Clarence ]. Shearn, quickly in
terposed objections on the ground that
Mr.. Jerome was showing animus and
Serving private interests"
Mr.. Jerome declared his questioning
was within the province OF a mental
examination" and he was generally
upheld by Judge Keogh, but was un
successful in his apparent attempts
to make the witness display undue
agitation. The question did not both
er him.
1T was on account Of the cold
blooded way in which he had done
things to my wife and other girls" he
declared, firmly. He refused to an

insane during the half minute he was
killing White. But he said later: II
think my mental condition was the
same as Gen. Daniel Sickles' when he
shot Key"
But" Jerome quickly retorted,
General Sickles did not hide behind

the other day that you had DONE"
Thaw said that by q combination of
his own opinion and that of his alein-
lists he had arrived at the conclusion
that he Is now sane.

sonality into the contest after he had
placed the name Of Senator John w.
Kern of Indiana before the convention
for the temporary Craftsmanship. Dur
ing.his address in making the nomina-
ton Mr.. Bryan frequently was inter
rupted by jeers from the galleries, but
lust as frequently brought enthusiast
tic shouts of approval from the dele

last and all the time. in spite Of the
~antagonistic attitude Of the delega-
ton from Indiana, followed Mr.. Bryan
to the platform. and, in a plea for
harmony, said if that appeal should
prove in vain, the party would have
to turn to its leader of the past. Mr..
Bryan, and call on him to take the
leadership again.

and asked him to withdraw in the in
