THE BEVERLY DISASTER Beverly, Mass., July 4.—The small excursion st* amor Surf City with aJmut 60 passengers on hoard while half way over from Salem Willows, to her wharf here, a distance of about 2 miles, was struck by a sudden squall, about 6 o’clock tonight, and capsized. Of those on board a large majority are b' lievcd to have been rescued by boats from both the Salem and Beverly shores, but no less than seven bodies have been recovered at dark, and as it known that many rushed into the cabin before the squall, it is thought that twice as many are still confined there. As one or two of those taken .ashore are in a critical condition, it appears likely that the list of dead may reach a score. Th»- following bodies were recovered from tin- wreck: Mrs. Catherine D. Weber, 25 years old, of Beverly. Miss Clrace Snell. 13 years old. daugh ter of Arthur Snell of Beverly. The 3-year-old son of John Kennedy of Beverly. Miss Myra B. Began. Miss Billie J. Conant of Danvers and her 5-year-old brother, Herbert It. Conant. Bate this evening, the body of Miss Nellie Crossey was recovered. ut' these rescued. Miss Bertha Bovett of North Beverly: Hazel Hcrsey, 1 y ar-oid. Beverly: Miss Kmcrson of Daiveis. and an unknown 2-year-old girl are still in a critical condition. Otto Carr, the fireman, was also badly scalded. The Surf City is a small steamer, with two decks and has been making short trips in Massachusetts hay for i number of years. This year, she was put on the Baker’s Island lane, mak ing a dozen trips a day from this city, stopping at Salem Willows. Slit* came up from Baker’s Island about 5 o’clock, and left Salem Willows at 6.05. Capt. Dalny, her c unmander, saw signs of a squall as the 'boat left the Will, r.vs, but thought he could make his wharf here before it struck. It had just reached the Beverly bar when the storm struck the boat, and at the same time a lightning bolt struck the beacon at the en i » the wreck, lea. hing her in a f* rescuers worked hard and well, there wcjro (hose to whom aid came too late. With the living were drawn into the boats a number of dead, including th bodies of two lit tit* children. Some .if the bodies were taken to the undertak ing rooms at Salem and others to Bev erly. The young yacht men of the Juve nile Yacht Club saved more than half and every boat at th»* dub was utilized. Others from the wravos worked fully as hard arid every effort was made to get the mass of struggling humanity to the shore. The work of rescue was ao fearful one as over half of theose on board were women and their screams could be heard for miles. Many clung to the top of the hurri cane deck and supported themselves until the boats tame, while others grasped the flagstaffs and even the smokestack. The suspense before the first boat came was awful, for though the time was but a few minutes it seemed eternity to those in the scath ing waters. Darkness closed down on the ill fated boat, with the tide rising rapidly about the smokestack and it is hardly probable that any more bodies will be found before tomorrow morning. Nearly all those onboardare believed to have come from this side* of the ba] and tonight there is a \vild scene the city looking for the mil (Continued on THE HAMPTON* II. H..

The Oquendo and Vizcaya were op posed by the Iowa, Texas and Indiana and went down to defeat with fearfu swiftness, covering only about half th‘ distance made by the Colon, befon their captains ran them ashore. Theii crews fought with desperate braver; but their courage was no match for th. courage of our men added to their su perb gunnery. The Spanish shell went wild for the most part, but tin American gun fire was marked by mor ciless precision. The two cruisers hot! on fire were beached no't more that one-quarter of a mile apart. The most dramatic feature of tin battle was the contest betweei the torpedo boat destroyers am the Gloucester. The latter wa: struck several times and is t’m only American vessel reported dam aged.

For an hour or two they followed the flying Spaniards to the westward along the shore line, sending shot after shot into their black hulls, tearing great holes in their steel sides and covering their decks with the blood of the killed and wounded. •At no time did the Spaniards show any indication that they intended to d. otherwise than fight to the last. They showed no signals to surrender even when their ships comenoed to sink and and the great clouds of smoke pouring from their shies showed they were on fire. Hut they turned their heads to wards the shore, less than a mile away, and ran them on the beach and rocks where their destruction was soon com pleted.

IN THE SENATE. Allen Talks on Hawaii and Turpie Reads Declaration ol Independence. Washington, July 4.—In the Senate, today, Alton. Noli., began a speech in opposition to Hawaiian annexation. At noon. Senator Turpie. N. D„ road the Declaration of Indopendenee. Dur ing the session a large numlier of pen sion bills were passed. The Senate was the only House of Con gross in session, Monday. Resolutions calling upon the secretary of war for In formation as to experiments with explo sives and Inventions were passed, and consideration of the Hawaiian resolu tions was resumed. Allen opposed the resolutions. He de claretl that l’orto Htco, Cuba and the Philippines should he made Independent, -Spain should pay the entire eost of the war. and the war should not end with any increase of this government’s terri tory.

The pressing need of reinforcing Shafter is no longer felt, now that the Spanish fleet is out of the way. A con siderable number of men, however, are already on the way and others will fol- 1 low. i The changed naval situation will bring no abatement in the activity of the authorities here in carrying the war directly home to Spain. There is renewed determination to get Commo dore Watson’s Eastern squadron away at the. earliest possible moment for the purpose of striking a blow vat the coast towns of Spain and of pursuing Admi ral Camara’s fleet which has halted at the entrance of the'Suez canal. Secretary Long made the special statement, today, that the fleet would sail at the earliest possible moment. It has been acting Admiral Sampson for some time, but that it will be Ad miral Sampson in fact, as well as in name is the prevailing feeling in naval circles as a result of the victory re ported by the admiral. In the event of his now being made an admiral, it would advance him over the 10 com modores making up the list of that grade and would place him just below Admiral Dewey. The release of Hobson and the other heroes f the Merrimao incident is like ly to be another result of the events transpiring, today. It may now come about either by the surrender of the city, which would include the surrender of Hobson and other American pris oners in the city, or else by the ex change of Hobson for Admiral Cervera or some other high ranking naval offi cial. Until today, the possibility of ex changing Hobson was slight, as this government had no Spanish prisoners of high rank to offer in his place. Now, however, they have one of the fore most admirals of Spain and among the other naval prisoners there are many officers of distinguished rank. Several messages were received by the war department, tonight, from Gen. Shafter, but no information concerning their contents will be made public. When th dispatch announcing the ar rival of Gen. Pando and a force of 000 men at Santiago, was exhibited at the war department, it was ascertained that the war department was already in possession of the fact indicating that fh* officials hail received confirmation of the press dispatches.

Spain has lots to learn from General Aginaldo as regards civilized method; of conducting warfare. Other countries are beginning to ap preciate the wide difference between American volunteers and Europear conscripts. -V;.— It is to be hoped tliat->«|ij Hnitec: States will .have a good nuinMr ol Spanish prisoners for Mr. Bryan ty the. zeal with which they have given their* unqualified indorse ment anew to the principles of the Chicago platform. The Republicans of the Dirigo State will reduce them to pulp in November. It sometimes pays to be popular, even in inauspicious places. The Rock land Courier-Gazette tells of a Thom astoti young lady, who while passing through the prison with her father lately, attracted the attention of a life-long convict who asked of her father the privilege of giving her a present. Consent being given Mary was soon after made the recipient of a diamond ring. School districts may be abolished and schoolhouse locations changed by school authorities, but the people usually manage to get about what they want, in the end. The Kumford Falls Times, this week announces that the school at the pond was closed when half done as only one scholar at tended. Most of the. people were not pleased with the location of the new schoolhouse and would not send their children, hut sent them out of town to a Iiyron school. There seem to he just as many peo ple with new cameras as ever, this year, and unsuspecting people again hear the snap of the maehjne, as the amateur photographers go up and down the land seeking whom they may victimize. One irate farmer who has been “took” l>y half a dozen of these roving “artists," declares that he's getting tired and thinks of buying his son a photographic outfit when he gets home from school, next week, and set him to lighting amateur photography with its own weapons. Since the outbreak of hostilities with Spain, the Journal has received upward of a hundred poems of a patriotic and eulogistic character. Some few of them were good, many of them were bad, and a number were indifferent. As a whole they furnish convincing proof of the old adage that “a poet is born, not made.” The Journal has not been able to use any of these produc tions. for the reason that the pressure of war news upon its columns has left it absolutely no space to devote to literary matter, and the fact that con tributions of this character have n it appeared in our columns necessarily implies no roll -ction upon their merit.

These two proved very interesting, re quiring six heats in one race, and live in the other. The audience did not number over iittt), but it was one that fully appre ciated the heart disease finishes. The first race was the ladies race, in which there were three starters. The first heat was a dead heat, as Twilight Wilkes and Meador Hoy came in neck ami neck. In the second heat there was no time given, as the judges were obliged to set Meador Boy back to last position, for cutting off the others on the stretch, though he led the others in.

After this the band played several patriotic selec tions. Many of the people went to Togus in the evening, though not so many as hail intended to do so. as the generator at the power station gave out, and de layed the Kleetric cars for a long time, the last of tin' afternoon. Those who remained in the city, wit nessed several private displays of fire works, some of which were very line. There were many on the street about the residence of Mayor J.

The Augusta Cadets composed of the boys of the city, left yesterday noon, and marched into camp for a few days. They put up a fine appearance as they marched down Green street and up State street to the Gas house where they took a team and were driven to the Scribner farm where they will camp until Wednesday morning, a camping ground having been kindly tendered for the occasion by Mr. Scrib ner. They were accompanied by their instructor, Charles 1). White. This company has been in existence for a few weeks and was the growth of the boys seeing the regular soldiers in amp. They have drilled for some weeks and now march remarkably well and also go through the various move ments of the drill in grand shape. Tiny are to have dress parade, this evening, at (I o’clock, which will he at tended hy a large number of people. ^The boys have been doing hal'd prac tice and can go through the. dress iarado movements in fine style.

I walked around to the place where I expected to see the door. There it was, leaning against the side of the house. I thought bitt r tilings of carpenters that did not keep their engagements. My wife appeared in the doorway. “‘Hallo, Willie, I thought you were never coming. Why didn’t you send the right door? The carpenter says that is too big in every way for this house, so lu* can’t cut it down.’ ‘Why. it ought to be a three-foot door! (let me your tape.’ “The tape showed the door to be 3S inches wide, while I had ordered one to he 36 in. lies in width. Well. I wont down street the next morning with blood in my eye. 1 spoke earnestly with the salesman from whom I had ordered the door, telling him of the danger of pursuing such art irrespon si bio course in this work and beseech ing him to immediately send and g»*t the door and send one 36 inches wide. ‘With what did you measure the door?* ‘With my wife’s tape line.’ ‘You have been a victim of a dress making tape measure. There are no 3S-ineh doors made. You will find the door sent to he 30 inches wide if you will measure it with this two-fo rule.’ "1 did as he told me and found the door to lie 30 inches wide and the door way 34 inches wide.

"I.ost. If the young man or hoy who took the woman’s shoe from under se tiun B of the grand stand will return it to the judge's stand he will be suitably rewarded.” This is an advertisement that ap peared in a metropolitan paper, the day after there had been some bicycle races held at a park near the city. This announcement probably means that the boot was the property of some young woman who has the unfortunate and unbecoming, habit of kicking off a shoe or two, when it is thought there is small chance of discovery. It is nor exactly as bad as chewing tobacco, hut still it is a .disagreeable habit. The incident reminds a young man of an experience he had not long ago. "I was sitting beside a young lady several years ago at a dinner,” he said. "She kicked off her slipper dur ing the progress of the dinner,' and when it came near the time for th women to withdraw, the slipper could not be located. She staled the case to me, and I was commissioned to obtain the missing article, and return it when the men left the dining room, so that no one should discover the situation, it was accomplished in good order, but 1 always treasured a feeling of annoy ance that the young woman should have put me to so much trouble for such a silly matter.” “One of the queerest things about new troops is the prejudice against army crackers,” said the major, as he Do Not Be Afraid to ask at the Boston Shoe Store for any style or size iin womey's or menis RUSSET SHOES you ever saw or heard of beiny manufactured.

An alarm was runs in from box -fit and the Pine Tree Hose Company were tie first on the spot and quickly extin guished it. The roof timbers are badly burned and there are two large holes cut in the roof where tin1 firemen had to get in to get at the blaze. The loss will be about $10; fully Covered by insur ance. An alarm was rung in from box .T>. just after noon, yesterday, for a fire in the dump, side of the railroad track, just below the Water street crossing. The only cause for the alarm was the fear the blaze would extend to the platform and burn some of the freight cars. A chimney in the Anthony house on Winthrop street caught fire, early yes terday morning, and by the use of one of the extinguishers from the Cushnoc Hose house the fire was put out with out an alarm being rung in.

Th, people of""this city were shocked. Monday eveninK, at hearins of the sad drown,I1K accident at Lake Cohhossee contee of which Winfield Haskell of •his city, was the victim Winfield K. Haskell accompanied by h,s younger brother. Frank. Miss Her tha Pullen, and Miss JennlcTrott, went o the lake. Monday morning, to pass the day. All went well untllallttle past 4 o clock, In the afternoon, when Win field expressed a desire to go l„ bath ing, and against the Wishes of his com panions. went ashore, below Horsey's point where ho disrobed and put on a bathing suit that he had taken for the purpose. He was in the water where it was not much over live feet deep, when he went to the bottom, and did not again come to the top. The boat was*near. and Frank put an oar down being thoroughly alarmed, but Winfield did not touch it. Some boys were upon the shore, and one swam out, diving got the body to the shore, where it was seen that he was dead. The boys went to the ramp where L. U Cooper and Charles Downing of this eity, were stopping, and told them of the accident. They at once went in their canoe to the place, and worked over the body for a long time, trying every means to get some signs of life that there might be more of a chance of saving him when the doctors ar rived, as the boys had been sent for one, but it was all to no avail, and not once was even the slightest flutter of the heart visible. Doctors Frederick and Taggart arrived later, and they think death was due to heart disease, as he was subject to that trouble. The body was brought to this city to Plummer Morrill’s undertaking rooms, late in the evening. The young man was 18 years old, and had resided in the city with his mother and her family, during the past four years, previous to which they lived in Windsor. He was a brother of the late Allan Haskell, who was drowned five years ago at Parker's Head, by the capsizing of a sailboat. Three other brothers Charles, Fred and Frank and a sister, Mrs. Orin Douglass, all liv ing in this city survive him. besides his mother who is a widow. Mrs. Haskell was unconscious, last evening, as the shock upon learning of the disaster, was too great for her. Winfield was an attendant at the Methodist church and a member of the Good Templars, being considered a model young man. and very popular. He had been employed in P.ussell Weston's store for nearly two years. Th«* date of the funeral is not yet de cided upon. CAPT. FRANK BARTLETT DEAD. Captain ol Co. D. 1st Maine Volunteers Passes Away at Chickamauga. A rumor of the death of Captain Frank T. I .art lot t of Co. 1 1st Main** Volun teers, reached Augusta. Sunday evening:, and, Monday, this was continued by a private1 telegram from a member of the company to the Journal. This is the first death in the regiment, and thus a remarkable record for health was established. Captain Bartlett died at noon, Sunday, of acute, dysentry. The remains were at once embalmed and sent m his home in Norway, in charge of his brother. Sergt. Major Charles Harriett. Captain Bartlett was a photographer by tra lo, and had been in the National Ouard for several years, being elected, last spring, to the captaincy of the com pany upon the resignation of Captain Stiles, under whom he served as 1st lieu tenant. He was looked upon as a very valuable officer, and was considered by all as a good follow, being very much liked by the members of his company. His wife and one child survive him.

The change front the inspiring air. the cool refreshing springs, and t'he homes of the boys, to the privations of army iife, is very great, and is greatly intensified In the distress of the sick and wounded.

It was kept a secret for years in a Send old Quaker family. The neigh bors all knew about it, and many n time had reason to be thankful for its existence. Its fame spread, and stran gers who heard about it wrote for in formation concerning it; sometimes tried it virtues and sometimes put a trial off for a more convenient season, ro tell how it was dragged from an ob scure country village and placed before the general public would be interesting reading, but lack of space compells us :o withhold the particulars. It is suffi cient to know that a year ago it came ;oC,ewiston, Maine, like it had gone to ‘very city and town in tlie north; un pretentious and unassuming, it said: I can do certain things, investigate my claims, try me if you have back xehe or kidney ache, and you will not be disappointed.” One of the many ■itiaens in Lewiston who has helped to lush the good work along is Mr. John WatSon, general blacksmith, on tire tabattus road. Mr. Watson says: 'For the past eight years I had trouble .vith my back. I have been wrenchel so many times across the loins that 1 ^resume that may have been the cause >f it. When suffering at intervals from ittacks, I was lame during the day and n severe pain at night. After a hard lay's work it was something horrible ;o endure. Soon after I would lie down I was compelled to shift my position, ooking for comfort, and, as this con inued through the night, I arose often n the morning to begin another day's ,vork more tired than when 1 went to bed. I read accounts about Doan’s Kidney Fills curing backs like mine, tnd I went to a drug store and got a box. Well, 1 kept taking them until the pain left. Since I stopped I have done lots of heavy work, but my hack has stood the strain. I give Doan’s Kidney Pills ail the credit for it, and 1 ldvise others who have anything wrong with their backs to try them.” Just such emphatic endorsement can be hau right here in Augusta.

J. E. Cochrane of the Baptist church, of which Mrs. {fetched was formerly a member, offi ciated. August 2, 1*:»X would have been her ‘.tilth birthday. Mrs. Cetchell was from old New England ancestry, her grandfather Sumner Hutchinson hav ing served throughout the Revolution ary war. His widow died in 1X50, aged 90. Mrs. Cetchell was born.

The weather of the glorious Fourth, more kind than Sunday, gave us an opportunity of visiting the news stand early, where the news was never so eagerly bought and road. The Journal was the source of the greatest satis faction when it was known how great our soldiers are under any circum stances. The wounding of Capt. Dodd and Lieut. Thayer of the 3d Cavalry, who visited here, last year, excited the sympathy of the old soldiers who saw him and his splendid company. The Veteran Social Club unfurled Old Glory to the breeze, early Monday morning, a companion to the flags of the Home that were all in proud posi tions. as everywhere, where free men know how to place and defend them.

The damage is mostly by water, how much to the Turf, Farm and Home, it is hard to estimate*, but it will probably amount to several hundred dollars; insured. The Same Old Way. The Fourth arrived here on schedule time. The day was ushered in the same proud old why. The small hoy hurst his torpedoes; sneaked into the church belfry and set the hells in mo tion; the :l>lg hoy make his little noise with the rest; daylight and then everybody went to Fairtield. This city contributed several thousand dollars to that town, yesterday. The Electric cars were constantly crowded but the service was good. Island Park was well patronized. ’An alarm of lire in the evening, about S o’clock, was caused by a rocket land ing on the roof of Mrs. -Spencer's house on Spring street. The tire department responded, hut iwas not needed. The heavens were all aglow, ljst night, until a late hour. There are about 40,000 houses in Berlin. A small number are inhabited by one or two families, but the great majority are divided into several dis tinct lodgings. Two thousand five hundred eontain from 10 to 20 lodgings. 20,000 from 20 to 20 lodgings, and 10,000 over 20 lodgings each. Seventy-five thousand of these lodgings are com posed of one room only, and inhabit,-1 by no fewer than 270,000 persons. V irtue isn’t always Its own reward. The English pickle manufacturers have been making their pint bottles hold i little more than a pint, to lie on Un safe side of an English law on the sul ieet.
