Capsizing Of the Eastland.

In the capsizing of the steamer
"Eastland" just off of her wharf in
the Chicago river on Saturday last,
there occurred one Of the greatest
maratime disasters in the quarter OF
a century. Approximately one thous-
and persons, the employees Of the
Western Electric company with their
friends, lost their lives by the sink
ing of the Eastland. The excursion
steamer, was loading for pleasure
trip across Lake Michigan, suddenly
brook lose from her moorings and
rapidly began to list. Within five
minutes she had turned her entire
body of passengers into the river or
imprisoned them in her submerged
hull.
So far, divers have recovered S24
bodies, and various reports state the
that the death list will run up to
one thousand, though it is probable
that this estimate is too large. Sec
retary Redfeld is on the ground and
is assisting in conducting the inves-
tigation. The coroner's inquest is
endeavoring to locate the blame,
and all parties, both local and fede-
raj are working together to ascertain
whether or not negligence upon the
part Of the steamers owners caused
the disaster. Overlooking, under
ballasting and grounding on the
river bottom have been cited in the
progress Of the coroner's inquest as
probable reasons for the sinking o.
the steamer. Divers are still a.
work recovering bodies, and most Of
the bodies recovered are those OF
women and children. Mothers and
children. hundreds Of girls off Tor a
gala day from their tasks Of making
telephone and other electrical ap-
paratus in the factories Of the Wes-
tern Electric company, were drown
ed.
The General manager Of the trans
poration compaLy, the officials in
charge Of the boat, and other officials
connected with the ownership and
operation Of the transportation line
that owned the Eastland have been
detained awaiting further investi-
CATION as to the placing of the blame
for the accident. A sweeping in
yestigation ;s being conducted hy
both State and Federal officials.

Death Of William H. Berley.

William III. Berley, one Of the best
known residents of this town, died
at 2::25 o'clock July 26, following a
long and painful illness, due first to
an attack of pellagra, a complication
of diseases having arisen during the
latter days of his illness. While the
te-th of Mr.. Berley did not occasion
great surprise, his family and friends
having reaized several months ago
that it. was only a matter Of time
until thesend would come, yet it was
only yesterday that he accompanied
members Of his family on long
automobile ride. Mr.. Berley ate
his IL O'Clock meal as usual today
and he did not lose consciousness
until a moment or two before he
died; and he talked freely with his
physician about his condition until
his pulse had ceased to respond to
the powerful stirnulant administered
by the physician. The deceased had
been blind for the lastseveral years,
but this did not mar his cheerful
disposition which had always been q
characteristic of his life.
W.. II. Berley was 46,years of age
He is survived by his wife, who was
