n KB AM) WATER Sunday School Excursionists ! at New York Meet v Dreadful Death. BIX HUNDRED PERISH Excursion Steamer General Slocum Burns to Water's Edge. Jlost of the Victims Were Women and Children Who Were Power 2 ;less to Help Themselves. A Day of Merry-Making For Big German Church Parish Turned to One of Mourning. Pire From a Trivial Cause Soon Swept Big Steamer From Stem to Stern. New York, June 16. One of the most appalling disasters In the history of New York, tragic in its immensity, dramatic in its episodes, and deeply pathetic in the tender age of most of its victims, took plaee in the East river at the entrance to Long Island sound, within a short distance of the New York shore and within sight of thousands of persons, the majority of whom were powerless to minimize the extent of the catastrophe. By the burning to the water's edge of the General Slocum, a three-decked excursion tteamer, the largest in these waters, more than 600 persons, the majority of whom were women and children, were burned to death or drowned by jumping overboard or by being thrown into the whirlpools by the lurching of the vessel and the frantic rush of the panic-stricken passengers. Approximately 500 bodies have been recovered and are now being tagged at the morgues of Bellevue hospital and Harlem. Divers are still busy taking bodies from the hold of the vessel, which they say is choked with the remains of human beings, while bodies of scores who leaped or were thrown into the river have not been recovered. Captain Van Schaik and his two pilots, Edward Van Wart and E. N. Weaver, have been arrested. A SICKENING STORY Details of One of the Worst Disasters on Record. New York, June 16. The threedecked excursion steamer General Slocum of the Knickerbocker Steamship company, burned to the water's edge off North Brothers Island, East river, at the entrance to Long Island sound, resulting in the death through burning or drowning of at least 600 persons, mostly women and children. Four hundred and ninety-six bodies have been recovered and divers are at work taking bodies from the hold of the steamer. The remains of many persons who leaped into the river have not yet been found, and it will be many hours before the list of dead is anywhere near complete. The General Slocum, one of the largest excursion steamers in these waters, left Third street, East river, having on board the annual Sunday School excursion of St. Marks German Lutheran church, located in Sixth street. Her destination was Locust Grove, one of the many resorts on Long Island sound. The excursion was in charge of the Rev. George C. Haas, pastor of the church. The vessel was commanded by Captain William Van Schaik, one of the best known boat captains in New York harbor. He has commanded the General Slocum for almost the entire time since she was built, in 1891. The number of excursionists on board is variously estimated at from 1,500 to 2,000, but according to an official statement issued by the Knickerbocker Steamship company, owners of the Blocum, the number of passengers was 87S, that being one-third of the vessel's licensed capacity. The steamer, after leaving her dock, proceeded up East river, all three of her decks being crowded with merry makers. Bands played and the great ide-wheler was decorated with flags from stem to stern. The Slocum had reached a polnl near the Sunken Meadows, off 135th street, Manhattan, which is at the extreme Eastern end of Randall's Island, when Are broke out in a 'lunchroom on the forward deck. The blaze was caused by the overturning: of a pot of grease. The headway of the vessel and a high wind almost Instantly fanned the Insignificant flame into fury. Efforts were at once directed to subduing the Are, but they were futile. The blaze spread aft with almost lightning rapidity. Captain Van

mum J

fich;;!c, in me pilot-house. Lad lean . informed of the outbreak of . the fire and, realizing the danger to the excursionists, decided to send his vessel ashore at 134th street. At this point there is a number of lumber yards and

I several huge oil tanks, and the captain was warned that to attempt to land at this point would endanger the property and perhaps further imperil the lives of scores of people, who had already been frightened into a state of almost uncontrollable excitement. Changing the steamer's course slightly, he leaded her for North Brother Island, half a mile away. By this time the flames were rushing by leaps and bounds from the forward part of the ship aft The great open decks, built for excursionists, with little obstruction from bow to stern, offered a clear sweep for the fire. As the Slocum dasned forward the flames caught stanchion and cabin woodwork, eating and tearing its way across the vessel. The excursionists, but a few moments before in the full enjoyment of an ideal summer's day on Long Island sound, were driven to the after part of the steamer to escape the heat, flames and smoke that were constantly Increasing. Policemen and deckhands aboard the boat struggled hard to quiet the panic, but their efforts were in vain. The wild disorder increased as frantic mothers sought their children who had been at play about the decks. The steamer's whistle was blowing for assistance and tugs and other nearby craft answered to the call. Before any of the boats could reach the burning steamer, however, the frantic women and children began to jump overboard. The current was strong there are many whirlpools in the channel. The boats that always abound in that vicinity picked up many persons from the water, but these were only a small number of those that were seen struggling In the swift current. As the ilre increased the struggle to gain a point of vantage at the stern became frightful. Women and children crowded against the after rail until it gave way and hundreds were pushed off into the river. After this there was a steady stream of persons who jumped or were thrown into the water. In the wake of the Slocum as she hurried upstream was a line of little black spots, marking the heads and bodies of those who had sought to escape the roaring furnace on the ship by throwing themsedves overboard. Through all the wild panic, during all that inferno, with fire and smoke surrounding them, the officers and men of the doomed boat remained at their posts, but they were powerless to avert the catastrophe. The Slocum got within fifty feet of the northwest point of North Brother Island and there stopped in the shallow water, while it burned to the water's edge. St. Marks Lutheran church contained in its membership practically all those Germans of the Protestant faith within a radius of ten square blocks. The excursion was the event of the year for scores of well-to-do German families and had been looked forward to for many months. Family parties of ten or more had been made up, Including in many cases the old grandmother, the mother, and the children of all ages, with a sprinkling of those men of the families who could spare a day from their work. A bureau of information was opened in the church shortly after the first news of the catastrophe was received, and ever since there has been a constant stream of agonized men, women and children climbing the steps to ask for news of their relations or friends. As soon as news is received as to survivors or victims it is posted outside, and the information soon spreads throughout the neighborhood. Metcalf to Sjcceed Cortelyou. Washington, June 16.

Wonderful things are done for the human body by surgery. Organs are taken out and scraped and polished and put back, or they may be removed entirely; bones are spliced; pipes take the place of diseased sections of veins; antiseptic dressings are applied to wounds, bruises, burns and like injuries before inflammation sets in, which causes them to heal without maturation and in one-third of the time required by the od treatment. Chamberlain's Pain Balm acts on this same principle. It is an antiseptic and when applied to such injuries, causes them to heal very quickly. It also allays the pain and soreness. Keep a bottle of Bain Balm in your home and it will save you time and money, not to mention the inconvenience and suffering which such injuries entail. For sale by A. G. Lukens & Co.; W. H.
