ire plants in the city will close for the

STRANDED TOURISTS
 HAULED ID SAFETY FROM SAULT RAPIDS
IRepubIIean 4. p. Leased wIrel

OGDENSBURG. N. Y. July IT, A small boat connected with land by a heavy cable hauled 3e9 tourist pas sengers through turbulent waters Of the St. Lawrence river to safety to- day as they were being landed from the steamer Rapids King of the Canada line, which went on the rocks Saturday in the Long Sault Rapids
 The cable was used lest the tiny boat should be swept away.
 Because of the dangerous current the passengers were landed at the rate of only 20 an hour.
 The accident is said to be the first of it's kind in the Long Sault Rap ids in more than 50 years. It oc- cured when the Rapids King. bound from Prescott to Montreal. broke her rudder chain. With much difficulty the crew by means of the tiller man. aged to beach the vessel 75 feet from Barnhardt's island.
 The current was so strong-it was estimated at Is miles an hour-that the big boat was turned completely around and hole torn in a forward commandment before she was beached. The steamer listed to starboard.
 Farmers for miles around hurried to the scene and attempted to reach the vessel by small boats but were unsuccessful.
 Late last night a line was thrown from Barnhardt's island aboard the steamer and heavy cable stretched from the ship to the shore. Work of rescue began at o'clock this mor- ming.
 After the passengers were landed the vessel. temporarily repaired. pro- ceeded down stream under her own steam.
