Peculiar and Fatal MiLwavkee, Wis. dugust 7.—At the launching of the huge sieamer William A: Wolf, at Wolf & David: sun's shipyard yesterday afternoon by a peculiar accident several persons were killed outright and a number of others seriously injured. So far as ® ascertained the names of the killed and injured are as follows : The Dead—William Tarbb, Mrs Ellen Freulish, Collin Denister, Mrs. Jeonie Marley, Aggie Erost, Ed, Seer, Charles Wolrich unknown mao 45 years old; uvkvown boy, 15 years old. The Injured—F. L Bor. row, Merrick Kelsard, A. D. White comb, Dennis McKay, Fravk Aithof. fer, Susie Klegg, Theodore Henry Eilen, William Knach. Arrangements had been made for the launch from Wolf & Davidson's shipoard of the monster stenmer W, H. Wolf the largest vessel ever built or launched on Lake Michigan. The occassion drew together an enormous I laet, crowd of spectators, and every avail- able spot that could be occupied by them was utilized, The first report concerning the accident was to the effect that a platform erected for a stand for sightseers had given way, eurrying a great crowd of people into the river, and at least buadred were drowned or crushed to death. Calls were received by telephone at the leading drug stores in the centre of the city for surgeons to be sent to one the scene. All the police stations were asked to send patrol wagons, and aptown livery stables were called on for hacks and wagons to carry away the dead and injured. The extent of the acci- dent thus reported filled the city with horror. Business was partially sus pended at once, and thousands of peo- ple started for the scene of the disas- ter. It proved that the reports had been much exaggerated, but the truth was bad enough. About one hundred or more people had climbed on the shed of the Northwestern Fuel Com pany’s dock, opposite the place of the launch. It was the best possible place to witness the spectacle, but they were warned that it was dangerous and b :gged not to stay there by Mr. David- son. When everything was in readiness word was given to cut the hawser which held the ship in the cradle The blow was given, and simultave- ously the monster ship glided down the ways and plunged into the water amid the great shout of thousands of spectators. Her port bow was buried for an instant; then she recovered and of the slip. The water displaced by the hull rose in a mighty wave, almost as high as the steamer herself. It rose in dense black volume against the coal shed, throwing its waters high above the dock and toward the roof, which the people stood. The ture was not strong enough to the shock, and it went down terrific carrying living freight into the slip, The black water was instantly filled with straggliog women, children and rolled on in the black waters on struc- stand with a crash, its men, floating lumber, All interest in the launch was for- gotten in the terrible excitement that prevailed among the great crowd of Mothers children spectators, whose were known to have been ou the roof, | husbands had crowd, wives whose jmn the left them to indeed all, who in the confusion wigsed frieads or rela Lhe fives, 160i air with cries which were answered back from the strug gling mass of people in the water, The police, the iife saving crew from Jones island aod ochre began system. atic methods of relief as 8000 as possi ble, and die by gae thie dtippivg on- fortusatds were fed from theayaier.
