Terrific Wind Storm.
Minkola, L. I., Aug. 12. The em
ployes of Theodore Kaiser, Graham ave
nue, Brooklyn," went on an excursion to
Laurelton grove, Cold Spring . harbor to
day, on the steamer Crystal' Stream and
barge Republic. - There .were 800'people
crowded - together on the upper deck
of the barge. Thev were just clear
ing the dock to return to Brooklyn when
the vessel was etruck by a heavy . squall
and dashed against the' deck in the
midst of a: a .terrible thunder storm.
The. boat bands, anticipating a shower,
let down the canvas curtains which are
attached ' to .the hurricane deck of the
barge and fastened them down to the
port side. .This' prevented, the wind
from .blowing' through,' and as one
strong gust struck the' barge it lifted' the
starboard side of the deck from its fast
ening and f6rced the: top over, to the
port side." . As it pushed over to the end
of the deck nearest the .dock, to .which
the barge was fastened, it dropped down
on hundreds of, 'women and-children,
who had" crowded over to that side of
the .barge . in an effort to escape. ' . In a
moment the air was - rent with the
screams, and agonizing cries of the vic
tims whose lives were being crushed and
their limbs broken. "- , '.' :
.The officers., deckhands and other men
on the steamer which had the banre in
tow lost no' time in reaching' the barge,
and doing all in their power to -rescue
all they could from' the wreck. '- It had
been hoped that Jione were .-.killed; but
the lifeless bodies of. fourteen were seen
Iving near the gunwale".. All had their
lives crushed out bv being caught be
tween the edge of the fallen deck and
guard rails;-women children , and even
strong .men' wept . piteously; as they
looked upon the dead or dying.
:. Of .the dead . bodies ; those recognized
were as follows : . Lizzie Jchamant. Mrs.
PaUline Pririz,' F. Hoffman,' Minnie
Goetz, Mrs. Lipenfinger, Kate Kautz,
Robert Scb uler , . Amelia - Landgraft,
Mary Schaff, ; Minnie Schaullein, Annie
Voltz, Amelia Wagner, Emma Weil and
Louis Krutz. : The pilot of the barge,
whose name could not be ascertained,
was also killed.
Among the injured are: Charles
Held. Mrs. -Henrv .. Isslemann. Mrs.
Zerman. . s The wounded . were carefully
carried aboard the steamer,, jtneh con
veyedthem to Oyster Bay village",-a . dis-
Umce - of six-' miles,- where they were
attended by physicians. The. bodies of
the . dead were, laid on the deck of the
barge to await . the. arrival of the' .cor
oner.. .The. place where t the accident
occurred is at the , head or Cold, Spring
harbor, . and is a favorite ptcsmcking
ground. - Many of the excursionists car
ried home with them pieces of the ceni
terDOSts which show, they were per
fectly rotten at the core, and the barge
itself, it is said, is unsafe in otner par

Loxdox, '" Aug. ,11. MurieU & Co.,
who became so deeply involved in var
ious speculations recently that it was
necessary to change the firm into a lim
ited liabilities company tb raise mopeyv..
needed to tide it over its difficulties, now
proposeti to ifHoe a minion pounds of
new capital in second delxjn lures, bear
ing 6 per cent. ' ' interest, - the value bf
these debenture being calculated upon
the estimate of tlie assets of the com
pany. The new concern will have a
margin of 1,400,000 after providing for
the first debentures,' and its annual
profits will amount . to , fully 200,000.
No provision, is made for the redemption
of the second debentures, but the com
pany reserves the right to exchange
them for fully paid-up preference shares.
Subscriptions to the new firm are in
vited privately among leading financial
firms, and it is rumored that these' invi
tations have been somewhat successful.
This afternoon a financial paper in this
city advised the public not to invest in
the new debentures. It say 8 the state
ment during tne last live years of aver
age yearly profits of the firm at 300,000
may be correct, but that this does not

results.
THE TRUL OF MAIBI).
The Prosecution Obliged to do "Without
Several Important Witnesses.
Seattle, Aug.. 12. The trial of Baird,
the customs inspector who shot Deputy
Sheriff Poor at Woolley, was resumed
today before United States Commissioner
Kiefer. Five witnesses were examined'
for the defense with the object of show
ing that Holden, the" prosecuting, wit
ness was a smuggler and that Baird had
reasons for considering him such. The
false goatee said to nave been picked up
near Poor's body was offered in evidence.
The nine Chinamen and : "Cowboy
Terry," who were to have been brought
from MciNeu s island: cannot be secured
as witnesses, owing to the fact that As
sistant United States District Attorney
Sullivan, of-Tacoma, refuses to recom
mend a writ of habeas corpus for them.
Interest in the trial is still very great.
Collector Bradshaw is. to be a witness
today and the' case will probably last
two or three days more.

To Unite Both Sides of the Party. .
New Yobk, Aug. 13. An interesting
bit of political gosip in connection.- with .
the meetingof the democratic committee,
was that Albany county' democrats had
wiped out their anti-Hill county, organ- ;
ization. ' The nomination of D. Cady
Herick for the supreme court bench and
bis certain election will prevent him
from continuing in the party leadership,
and this fact is to be utilized to unite
both sides of the party under the leader
ship of Hugh Riley, whom Governor.
Hill recently appointed to succeed . the
late William L. Miller, .as- judge of the
court' of claims. It is' understood the
ticket ' arranged is bh 'follows: - For
governor, Roswell P. Flower, for' lieut
enant governor, Wiljiam F. Sheehan, of
Buffalo. .:,
'-- Rev. W. Davis at the Church of the
Redeemer in New York, recently said;
"Truly, the crime of this -ntury is the
almost universal neglect of the aged."
- Portland may-well take this lesson to
itself, for, ns a matter of fact, . indigent
old people of, both sexes have no place of
refuge, save the poor farm. Aged per
sons of good family ' and reputation
often meet with reverses of fortune, and
when - obliged to seek the protecting
wing of charity should not be compelled
to take up their abode at a public insti
institntion which is filled mostly with
alcholic wrecks and remnants -of miss
pent lives. A properly-conducted old
people's home might well be added to
the list of public institutions in this city.
