The yacht drifted away from the couple in the water. Miss Pyle's clothing was heavy, and as soon as it was thoroughly soaked she, although a good swimmer, was unable to keep on the surface and sank, and before assistance could reach her she was drowned. Her brother was picked up by a boat from the shore and was saved. Miss Pyle was considered the most expert swimmer at the beach. She would often in her daily bath swim a long distance out in the ocean and float like a duck for half an hour. She was perfectly at home in the surf. She was about 20 years of age. Dozens of boats are on the river looking for the body, which up to this time has not been recovered. Ocean Beach, N. J., August 13.— The first drowning accident of the season occurred this afternoon. The victim is Miss Elsie Pyle, daughter of a Philadelphia millionaire. The accident took place on Stark river, and the particulars make Miss Pyle a great heroine, who lost her life in trying to save another. The party, consisting of Miss Pyle, her brother and two friends, left Shark river dock this afternoon to take a sail on the bay in the yacht White "Wings. The wind was blowing strong. All went well until an attempt was made to tack the boat, when the boom struck Mr. Pyle and knocked him into the river. VtrwTUl CMtle Cinrden.

The state of the >odiee recovered is terrible. Some are iterally out to pieces, others are parboiled to that it is impossible to distinguish between men and womet". A few oorpsei were fonnd suspended in the branches of trees which had caught them as they fell. Up to the 17th the number of bodies recovered is 470. It is believed that 61 are still entombed. The wounded number 41. Eighty-seven houses have been destroyed. The inhabitants of Inawashiro and adjacent villages fled to Wakama tsea and other places when the eruptions occurred. The report of the local official of Wakamatsea says the Inhabitant of Inawashiro and adjacent district escaped with their furniture. The wounded are receiving at the Bchool house in Inanashiro. The condition is shooking. Some have fractured skulls, others broken limbs and the faces of • few are battered so as to be unrecognizable. There are about 1,000 people in need of help. San Francisco, August 14—The steamer City of Sydney whloh arrived this evening from Hong Kong and Yokohama, brings throngh Japanese journals with particulate of a volcanio eruption of Bandai San on July 15. The details of the catastrophe come in somewhat disjointed form. The Choya Shimbun dispatched a special reporter to the soene. According to his account the villages around Bandai San heard strange rumbling sounds and felt shocks of earthquake from the 13th. These phenomena continued intermittedly for two days and nights, but not being attended by any serious result, no great disquietude was felt. On the morning of the 15th at about 8 o'clock the smaller Bandai San trembled and roared violently At almost immediately afterward ashes began to fall, the »ky suddenly grew dark and the rambling sounds continued, accompanied by a violent earthquake and flare of a dazzling flame. The crest of the smaller Bandai San appeared to be lifted bodily npward and then to fall again with a tremendous noise, then followed showers of red mud, mingled with large stones, spreading havoo around. Such Indeed was the nature of nearly all the matter erupted—red mud without small stones, but accompained occasionally by heavy rocks. Above the mud fell a few inches of ashes. f)H. WM.

SHORT PANT Chicauo, Aug. 13—Amor <r the 200 emmigrants who reached Chicago over the Baltimore & Ohio railroad a few days ago were two pretty girls from Bohemia named Marie and Antonia Rudolph. They were accompained by an imigration agent of the railroad. His actions with the girls aroused the suspicions oi two detectives in the station, and they followed the party. , They saw enough to warrant them in taking the girls in charge The agent escaped. The girls said that they came to Chicago to find their uncle. When they left the steamship at Baltimore the agent approached them, and,finding them alone, took charge of them. They were impressed by his uniform and supposed he was an official of the company. He accompained them to Chicago, and on the train offered them repeated insults. They could not speak a word of English, so they could not tell anyone of his conduct, but they frightened him away with their cries whenever he approached their berth. In Chcago he told them that the law of the country demanded that they seould be separated. They kissed each other goodbye, and the agent was about to lead one of them into a notorious place when the officers appeared. The railroad officials were notified. SUITS m. CHABLBS G. ERNST, PBT8ICIAX AFDJSURGEON, len'sli SUITS. Men's Dress Trenton, N. J., August 12.—Smallpox had broken oot in the State prison here. A convict named Thomas Kenney, from Essex oounty, was foand to be suffering from the disease yesterday. He was at onoe isolated from the other convicts by being placed in the old prison morgne, which had been converted into a pest house. Kenney is supposed to have oontraoted the disease from Charles Piatt, a colored convict, from Camden county, who was lodged in prison on July 24. Piatt, it has been learned, was then recovering from varioloid. He and Kenney worked in the same shop and their oells were on the same tier. There seems to be no doubt whatever that Kenney has a genuine attack of the malady. In his isolated oell he is attended by two convicts who have had the smallpox. Dr. Hutohinson, the prison physician, and Head Keeper Patterson are taking every precaution to prevent an epidemio. The prison has been thoroughly fumigated, and nearly all of the oonvicts have been vaocinated. The prospect of an epidemic has caused much alarm, and some of the night watchmen have asked to be relieved from duty. task Tscstksr. W ilkksb akre, August 12.—William oilier, weighmaster for the Paradise Coal ampany, at Pittston, was seated in his house this morning, reading the paper, when he heard some one pass by the side window and remark, "Now, let it go." The next moment there was a violent explosion, and the front part of the house came tumbling down. An investigation , showed that giant powder had been placed nder the poroh, and exploded with the aid of a long fnse. There is no olew to the perpetrators of the dastardly deed, but it is believed they were miners in the em- loy of the Paradise Company, who had a dislike to Collier because, as weighmaster, he dooked them exoessively. Had the powder been plaoed further in under the porch all the Inmates of the house would have been killed. As it was, they had a narrow escape. Mr. Collier is a prominent ' man in Pitteton, and a well-known Irish Nationalist. 3 « Jsi to | $ 1 50 1 70 2 00 2 50 3 00 3 50 4 00 4 50 5 00 Kilt Suits 9 2 00 2 50 3 00 3 25 3 50 4 00 5 00 $ 3 00 4 00 4 50 r 5 00 5 GO 6 00 6 50 7 00 7 50 8 00 9 00 10 00 11 00 11 50 12 00 fVB. .W.
