MM: IMK FIN II tVATKKV UltAVKS. A Terrible Disaster en I.ake Michigan Urcwned In an Angry Hea Within i Slim Frem the Shere, Wednesday morning about 7 o'elook nn acoldent occurred at the temperary crib of the new Ilyde Park water works, south of Chicago, whieh resulted in the less of nlne lives. Fer sotne tlme past n gang of four teen men bave been engaged upon the new crib that is being constructed for the water work?, nbeut a mlle from Chclteu ham Boaeh. At the mouth of the tunnel, whieh leads te the shere and nbove the crib, bad baen oeustruotcd a large plat, form, about forty fcet square, supported by poles, which were bound together by heavy chains. Upen this platform had been butlt .t small cabin, iu whiah the men blent and had their meals. they hav ing HviHl there for the past threo nooks. The platform was supported by heavy timbers resting ou the piles. Woduesday morning about 3 o'clock, the sea bco.v.ue se heavy that portions of the platforms wero washed away The men aweke abent 5:30 o'clock, and found sptay with evcrv wave washing the sides of their hut. They were net mueh alarined, and proceeded te cot their breakfast. The meal was eaten and preparations made for the day's work. The sea, in the mcantime, ran higher, and, about 7 o'clock, a huge wave struek the hut, tearing it from its foundation and earrying it into the raging water. Then followed a socne of the most bar rowing desonptien. Fourteen men were struggling iu the debris of the building, and, in a short time, net a vostige of the wreck was visble Twolve of the men Bucacedcd in climbing upon the huge stringers that held the poles tegether,and, lyinc face down, with their nrma around the beam, they waited the arrival of assistanoe. Every moment inoreased their danger, and the wave, with terrible ferca tere them ene by ene from the tim berg until only eight temained. These, within sight of the assistance that was oemlng in the shape of the life saving crew of Chicago, elnng with bleeding hands and waited. In the meantime- en shere everything was baiug doae for their resaus. The cruw of the Chicago life saving station had put off and made for the saone of the accident. They arrived about 11 o'cleak, aud wheu they were within throwing distance- a line was made fast by the almost drowning men te the timbers and made tight from the beat. Then each shivering man, with uneertalu grasp, olutehed the repe and hand erer-hand worked his way toward the beat through the surf. Oat of eight men who made the attempt only four lived te tell tha tale of tha terri ble hours that they hal spant en the spars, i hs beat, wnlcu was tuen about a mile from tne shore, gave way aud in twenty minutes was landed safe en the shore, where hundreds of paople awai:ed tne rctcue. TUG LOST. Tiieaa who were drowned wera : K P. Cerrbyn, oentraotor ; William Krtin, laborer ; Otte Ertiu, laborer ; Cna. Falk, mason; W. II. Hean, contractor; Peter Ii.ier, laborer ; Charles Manski, laborer ; (Jbarle) Schinl-.lt, laborer ; l. Smith, laborer. Tni: cook's steiiy. When the lifeboat drew near tha shere a orewd of men rushed into tha water aud almost lifted the craft upon the sand. The cook, Peter Thies, who was the least affeoted by the intense cold and expeiurc, told the following graphie story : "This morning abort 5 o'clock I get up t" get breakfaet for the fojrteou me.i who constituted the party. After the meal was propared we sat down te eat. Befere this I noticed the sea was running at a tcmble rate, but none of usMroamed of the tern bio thing that was te befall us bofure long The meal tlnUhed, I went into a back room, which was partitioned oil, and began washing dishes. It wai then about 7 o'clock. I had finished tn work and was just about te go out when I h:ard a loud crack, and iu a moment tha building in whieh I a te j J oareeoad and I was in tbe water surrounded by my companions, who struggled te free themsolve from the tim bers. "I climbed upon eue of the stringers and helped te get several ethers out. Then began a soene whieh 1 hope never te sce again. Every wave that o.une btruck us with sueh foreo that the Jlefh wad tern from our hands, and we saw saveral of the peer men yield te the terrible power and loose their held Whoa we first ratched tbe water, Besses Hean and Corbyn grasped a large timbjr and wcra washed away. They may ha7e raae'ied the shire in safety. When we kw the lifeboat abent a mila away n?w hops was given us aud the eight then en the timbers hung a until the line was thrown antl no tried our luck reachiug the beat Only four of us wero suecesstnl, and a man mera thank ful for hW life than myjilf cannot be found." ANOTHER SURVIVOIl'd NtUIlVTIVE. Hans Christlansen, ena of the survivors, told the ster of the tcrrible night as he sat toasting his (eet in the kitchen of the engineer's honse. He said : " Whan the storm care up we bad no lean ler our satety, hue when the ater.n inoreaicd we began te think we were deemed. About daylight, when the waves wero rolling agalnt the sides of tha shanty, we left, and had just get out wbeti a huge billow struck it broadside and swept it off. We clung te the chains as beit we could, but it was bard work after llean and Corbyn were carried oil. Twice the waves took me off, but I hung ou te the chains, and pulled ray sol f en again, and stayed until the life beat came aud took ma off." ,, It is reported te-night that Klaus Claw. reu, laborer, was rescued. He had clung te a timber and was driven ashore near Seuth Chicago. None of the bodies of the drowned men have besu reoevered. The men who were rescued say that the struc ture was net considered safe and that they had protested agaiest staying there evor night, but they had hean assured that it was perfectly secure aud that the water would never reach it. itepenllug bulclile tee i.atn. Valentine Oletz, a gunmaker, working in the factory of Parker Urothers,' at Mer idee, Conn., attempted te commit suieide late Tuesday night, after threatening te kill his wife. He came home drunk and flourished a knife wildly around the heuse for a while, and then retiring te his own rooms, swallowed tbe contents of a vial oentsiulng sugar of lead. He rushed out into the room where bis wife and children were assembled, exhibited the empty vial, and told of his dead. His wife would glve him no assistance, averring that she would de well te get rid of him. Angered at this, Gletz called physleians and took an anti dote.

They remained around the neighborhood for several days when the met a Mexican, with whom they quar reled. The Mexican was cruelly beaten and afterwards banged te a trae. This was doue almost in sight of the Rafferty tancb and the oxesution of the Maxima was probably witnessed by its inmates.

Tuesday mernlne the crowd of spectators increased and ineluded all tbe Republican bosses and a few Democratic Bplcs. The latter watched the search with untiring pationce and inward satisfaction. As the day grew se did the crowd. The two men under the building wero directed by innumorable bosses en the outside. .Every few minutes the cry would oeme from below : "We have him, just take a ceuple stones out here," but when the stones were remeved the coon ran nimbly by bis would be captors.

A messenger flaw through the air like an anew and was back ere he was goue with the artiele. The hartshern was poured upon a raz attaohed te a pole which was then thrust under the coon's noee.

At Janesville, two suspicious persons prowled about the town several days last week ; the night be fore the dlsoevory of the rebbery of Miss Dyer's grave they disappeared. .When the uews of the eutrage reaohed the town a rumor obtained that tbese two men were grave robbers. As two bodies had recently been burled iu the graveyard which is a half a mile from the neareit house, it was resolved te examloe the graves. Beth wero found empty ; in one net n thing remained bat a handkerehlef, in the ether were tbe olethes of the de ceased. Tbe bodies taken were these of Henry Snyder aud Mar'a Jaoebs, both middle aired people.

The names of the missing are William Ed ward Bemby, James Miller, Mary Brown. Mrs. AIloe Morgan, William Liwls, Peter Lewis, Grace Simons, Leuis King, (infant), Harry Seuey, Alva Riea, and Mrs. Belle Perter. When the graves were rifled no ene eau tell, and there is nothing like a due. The village is but a few miles drive from thrce railroads, aud the iselated situation of tbe graveyard made it a faverite resort for the ghouls. The discovery of theso outrages lias pro duced a profound sensation, aud the faml lies of theso interested are prostrated and one death is likely te result. Every graveyard In the neighborhood is beiug searched. At Blrdsville, five mites east, aud at Seuth Baltimore violated gtnves wero found. The persons who robbed the graves would seen find a trce If caught, and the dissecting room tccelv ing the bodies would be wrecked. m m Pcittierirtu. Mr..
