A despatch from St. Catharines says: A terrible accident occurred on Lake Ontario, ten miles below Port. D'alhou- me, about 8 o‘clock on Saturday night, whereby iliree lives were lost and threat others had very narrow escapes, whcin the tug Escort was. sunk by being“ struck by the barge Harrison, in tow, o'.‘ the stei‘nner \‘x‘rshnourrt. Early in the evening the. \\"est.n‘iounit and barge were seen away down the lake, a'p- preaching,r Port Dalhousi-e. Two tugs, the listort and Golden City, started out from 1.10% in a race to secure the barge, libero having been great rivalry be- llwccn the lugs to secure tows. The I‘ZS-Iitll't. was in cl‘iurge of Capt. Harry Dunlop and the Golden City in charge of Capt. McCoppt-‘n. They raced about ten miles down the lake before meet- ing the Westmou-nt and barge, the Col- den City slightly in the lead. As they approached the barge the Golden City ‘ made a circle. to wine alongside of her, but the Escort to save time endeavored to cut across the bow of the barge, he- llween the \V’eshncumi. and llarnison, which were going about. ten miles an hour. The captain of 'liflc Escort evi- dently milscalculated the speed or ttanee, and the huge Steel tow line caught. the pilot house of the Escort, iteariru; it away. Alinost immediately after the Harrison struck the tug amid- ships, ca-psizing her. She sank, carry- ll'ii-‘g' down Capt. llailry Dunlap, lingui- cci- Albert D1Ll’110p, and a canal theiper named Charles Christmas, none of when were seen again. Three others on board, Melvin Barnes, the fireman; Herman (look, djccikhand, and Mus. Annie Bartlett, cook on the. tug, were l'~(‘:CIlC‘Ll with great dillicul-ty ‘by those on the tugr Golden City. The \Vthin-aui‘it had slackened creed immediately when the accident occur- red and every effort was. made to rescue those, on boa-rd the illâ€"fated tug or recover the. bodies of those drown- cd, but they have not yet been recov- ered and it is probable they are im- prisoned in tire wreckage of the tug, which sank in a hundred and twenty feet. of water. After cruising,r around for. some time the Westmount came on 1to Dart Dal-thoulsfic, and the tug Golden City, with the rescuer on board brought in the Harrison. FOULD’S “’ELL FOUND. THE MOO“ LAKE “’RECK. The Romantic Story of a Winnipeg lury Places the Blame on D: ver of Estate. A despaich from Winnipeg says: Old-. timers remember the late George Foulds,‘ builder of the li‘oulds block and owner of several other very valuable properties. During his life he acquired considerable property, which he left to Mrs. 30wler,l cutting out his family. A subsequent] will has been discovered, by which the! estate is left to Fould-s‘ children, and a. statement of caliin has been filed on be half of one of the children by Messrs. Macdonald, flaggart, Sullivan & Carr, seeking to set aside the will giving the estate to Mrs. Bowler and asking that probate be directed of the last found will. The estate. is estimated at about $250000. It. is understood the. will was found in Vancouver, in an old trunk amongst. deceascd’s papers, and narrow- ly escaped being burned with what was considered worthless documents. 4....-.â€" i’RlSC/tll'i‘lONS AGAlN‘ST PLAGUE.
