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.

Tucson, prier te which he was employed
by the Pecnsjlvauii Diamond Drill oem
pany r.a supsriatccdent for a number of
years, but resigned that position te go
into business there. He immediately
bjught au interest in a mine and was
rasetiug with nusceas financially. The
first lepert of tiie massacre was te the
effect that Fritz's partner was suspected
of hanging a Mexican semn time age, aud
that in a spirit of rovcuge Fritz was taken
for the partner and murdered, togethor
with his wife. The trua fasts of the oase,
however, nre as fellows :
Twe weeks age a party of unknown
men put in an appoaraneo at Rifferty's
ranch and became acquainted with Fritz
and his party. 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.
The party fled and nothing was scen or
heard of them until they ret u med te the
Rafferty ranch and murdered Fritz and
his wife and Raymond and Rafferty for fear
they would tcitlfy a?a!nU them iu the
eveut of their arrest, whieh it appears
seemed probable, Fritz was about forty
11 ve years of age and was married te the
daughter of Martin Dermer, a preminant
browerof St. Clair, who has been notified
of tbe torrible tragedy. Tha ether two
victims wera young msu. During the flve
years the Fritz family liave resided there
they made several tnpi te Pennsylvania

PostmasterBttia, of Marletta, roceived
a letter from a fricud saying iie could get
him a very fine coon.
P. M., who has heretofore been boss of
the Republican party there, thought this
would ba a geed chauce te get oveu with
semn of his friends. The Ed. Rolnheld
and Yeung Men's clubs have been very
sero thorns in the side of our gallant post
master, becaus?, as he holds a government
position, he thinks thercfore he should
be big deg at the wigwam. The Kd. Rein,
held club took the best of the working
men Inte Its ranks whlle the Yeung Men's
club have the cream, consequently Gcerge
has had a hard tlme te raise his small club.
He received their uniforms Saturday,
whlle the ether clubs have becu driiltug
and equipped for the last six weeks.
New, the P. M. saw his opportunity te
recover a part of his lest glory by secur
ing this coea it would be t j
only ene iu town nnd it should be carried
nt the head or his company, te the envy e;
the ether companies.
He sent for it and it proved te be a very
fine nnlmal. He was very proud of It, show
ing it te ail that came te the posteffico. On
Saturday evenlng he took It te Larxalore's
saloeu and showed It te the admiring
orewd gathered there. After the inhibi
tion it was tied in the back yard close by
the building
Alas 1 our frlead did net kuew It was a
Democratie coon, caught by a Democrat,
in n Democratie ceuuty.
When P. M. came for his coon Monday
metnlng it was geue, bnt still there was
the ct.d of the ehaln fastened against the
house. He seized it and tugged at it until
he get blue in the face, and finally pulled
It out net the coon, but only its cellar.
New, here was a mlsfortune, indeed
coon premised for the parade the next
evening but no coon,
P. M. was equal te the emergenny ; he
immediately hired all the heelers that
were leafing around the bar room, te as
sist iu catching the nnlmal. Foundation
walls were tern epau, men crawled under
tbe fleer, but the coon evaded thorn all
day Monday. 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.
All the Republican. bosses in town wero
thore aud took great tuterest iu the pro
ceedings. It was very exalting, and ue
place for theso having heart disease It
was a grand sight te see our worthy P.
M.with his sleeves rolled up shouting him
self hoaree in giving orders.
Finally the coon was driven into a cor
ner from which hu resisted all attempts
te disledge him. They bad him and yet
they could net get him.
All were new in a quandary what te de,
when some ene oame te the rescue : " Ge
upte the drug store and bring seme harts harts
eorn." 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. Ihree men were behind bim te
catch him as he backed out, but their
courage failed them upon the approach, se
he passed undisturbed.
Up te this writing the coon has net been
captured and the wigwam elub will be in
a bad fix if be is net forthcoming.

The discovery that the toetioa of the
country about Janesville, Ohie, has been
li te rally riddled by graveyard ghouls, has
created the wildest excitement- Six weeks
weeks age, wben Bsyder was visited and
later when graves at Weed were opened,
no suspicion was felt; but Friday's rob
bery of Miss Dyer's grave at Fostoria
woke the peeple up and a vigorous seareh
is new being prosecuted. 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. Te satisfy cariesity
and aud te remeve doubts mero than SO
graves of persona buried within two years
were epened and 11 were found empty.
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.
