the‘ Middle Ground lighthouse at the
entrance to Oyster Bay. who disappear-
ed ’Monday night and left the light-
house In total darkness. has yet been
found, although search was made all
night for his body. '

The president’s yacht Sylph. with
several of his family aboard. got safe-
ly into the harbor late Monday night,
after carefully feeling her way through
the dark past the rocks and shallows

of the bay.

The authorities say they have es-
tablished beyond doubt that Rowland
was drowned alongside the lighthouse
after returning from the motor boat
races. Two men who were in camp
at Cold Spring saw Rowland return-
ing to the lighthouse. They watched
him as he neared the light .and as he
started to ascend from the boat he
apparently slipped or lost his footing.
They saw hi mfall backward. strike
the boat' that was moored there, and
tumble into the water.

James Hendrickson. an employee of
Commodore Matheson. who has a
summer house on Eston's Neck not
far from the lighthouse, corroborates
the- statements of the campers. Hend-
rickson said yesterday that he saw the
captain'reach the lighthouse safely in
his rowboat. in which was a small
gasolenc engine, about 7 o'clock Mon-
day night, and that as the captain ai-
tempted to climb the narrow stairs
up the side of the lighthouse he missed
his footing and fell into the bay. Hend-
rickson Vasid he put out in a rowboat
to the insns assistance. but when he
reached the lighthouse Rowland was
nowhere to be seen. Search was
made for his boy.” had a short time

VANCOUVER, B, 0.. Aug. b.——For
Ithree days the people of Michel have
fought for their homes with death at
the door. Yesterday afternoon they
were beaten at the game. The city.
the second in also of the devastated
district of East Kootenay. started to
burn. in real earnest at dusk. Noth-
lug can save It from being a heap‘ of
riVilns even more complete than Fer-

n c.

From a light eastern breeze the
wind turned to a gale from the west at
3 o'clock in the afternoon and: the city
in a moment was doomed. The blaze
came sweeping down the hill. At the
edge of the town one hundred thou-
sand feet of mine timber owned by the
coal company caught 'fire and four
loaded railroad cars standing on a
sidetrack were consumed. The Cana-
dian Pacific locomotives were hitched
3n to a train carrying the fighters
away to the west to safety. By the
time train left for the west the fire
was spreading all over the yards.

The train got only half a mile on
Its journey when it encountered a. wall
of flames. There was danger of its
being hemmed In and being burned
with everybody aboard so the loco-
motives were reversed and. run back
with all speed. By the time the train
returned all the houses on the flat dis
trict back of the Great Northern de-
pot were burning and the main town
was likely to catch at any moment. AI
5 o’clock a lone newspaper man and
the telegrapher still stuck by the tele-
graph instrument. The last message
the newspaper man sent was:

“'Many houses are burning. Trains
cannot get west of here. Railway ser-
vice west of this town will be blocked
indefinitely. To the east the line is
clear. Will try to reach Crows Nest
before morning and forward news
from there.” .

 

BOYS STONED A TRAIN.
Also a Railroad Detective, and Were
Placed Under Arrest.

V John Denlcoia, Steve Lengycl. Jac‘
ob Libner and lsadore Libner. four lit-
tle fellows, averaging from seven to
nine years of age. were very much
surprised boys. yesterday afternoon,
when they were suddenly placed un.
der arrest near Bouton street.

For several months, the New York,
New Haven and Hartford Railroad
Company has been receiving com-
plaints that stones were thrown at
passenger trains as they proceeded
through this city, Recently a woman
passenger was quite badly injured as
a. result of a stone going through a
pane of glass.

As a result of these complaints.
Railroad Detective Knapp. of New Ha~
ven. came dotvn to South Norwalk
dressed like a tramp. and proceeded
to loll about the Benton street tufts
of grass. It was not long before the
quartet of had: mentioned discove d
him One shouted to his com au-
Ions:

“Oh, look at the hobo.”

They followed this up by pegglng
stones at him. Knapp says. He did
nothing, any says he was rewarded lat
er by seeing the boys throw stones at
a passenger train when one appeared.
It was then that he pounced down on
the boys. and took them to police head-
quarters. The boys were released
for their appearance with their par-
ents this morning. At court time”, the
parents were-not on hand. and Judge
hockwood continued the case until 9
o'clock Saturday morning. . .,

lines In the Air and Caught
Fire

STUTTGART, Aug. b.—During a
storm today the Zeppelin airship broke
swanyrom Its moorings, took fire and
disappeared in the air. '

Several persons were Injured. Count
Zeppelin. however, Is safe.

It now appears that the airship ex-
ploded during a thunderstorm at 3
o‘clock this afternoon. Previous to cx~
ploding It burst into flames. It Is sup-
posed. to have been struck by light
nlng. The latest report from Echter-
dingeu says It Is completely ruined.

The stormI came unexpectedly. A
fierce gust of wind tore the balloon
from its anchorage and drove it south-
west for some fifty yards. Here the
rear end of the great fabric dropped
and smoke and flames burst out from
end to end. Then in a few seconds
came the explosion and a great col~
umn of flame shot Into the air. This
was followed by the crashing down to
the earth of the motors and frames
that had been attached to the under-
side of the airship. Several bystand-
ers'were knocked down.

 

 

_

Count Zeppelln's airship descended
on a plateau near the village of Ech-
terdlngen. five miles south of this city.
shortly hefore 8 o'clock this morning
owing to a defect In one of the motors.
After an examination of the machinery
Count Zeppelin decided to send to
Friedrichshafen for mechanics to make
the necessary repairs.

Two companies ofVGrensdlers luvs
been sent to picket a space areas
the airship to keep off the crowding
villagers and country people, anxious

toobtaln a close view of the novel
craft.

The nlrship passed over this city at
6:20. The enthusiasm of the country
people who watched the flight was in-
describsble.

The following message
dropped from the airship:

Count Zeppelin‘s ,alrship from its rec-
ord breaking voyage Wore greatly dis
appointed. when it become known.
shortly after 10 o‘clock, that the air-
ship had been compelled to come down
at Echterdingen. The king of Wur-
temburg. who was one of those who
had come out to the floating shed to
which the balloon was expected to re-
turn. announied personally to the poo
ple In the launches and boats swarm-
ing around the shed that the balloon
could not be expected back before to
night or tomorrow morning.

From a reliable source the informa-
tion was obtained that a defective mo
tor'was Insponsible for the landing.

The reasons why the ship came down
are two.. the overheating of the‘pisbon
box of the forward motor and the es
cape of considerable gas owing to the
fact. that the count took the airship to
a height of about 6.000 feet.

stove, and In some way her apron
caught fins. The fiames soon spread
to her other clothing. and she was
soon enveloped In flames.

Her husband, who was in another
room at the time, hastened to her res-
cue. but the woman was so terribly
burned when the firemen arrived that
her recovery“ was not thought possible.

The neighbors were aroused by. the
outcries of the woman and her hus-
band. Expressman Patrick Fleming
was one of the first to rush Into the
house. and he did a good deal to ex-
tinguish the fire about the woman and
the blaze in the room. An alarm had
been sent. in from the bps1 at the‘eor-
her of Main and Prospect streets. The
firemen applied unguentine from an
emergency package from No. 2 truck.
Fireman Guy Trowbridge wrapped
blankets shout Mrs. Mitchell. She was
carried to Chief Mooney’ s loconoblle.
and hurried to the emergency hospit'nl
and then to St. Vincent's Hospital. As
the woman was severely burned about
the upper part of the body and suffer
ing from both first and second degree
burns. the doctors gave no hope of her
recovery

Mr. Mitchell, the husband, is 75
years old, and Is a‘ partial cripple. He.
too, was burned about the hands and
head and he had to be attended to.
Dr. G. Skiff Ford. who was in the vi-
cinity at the time, dressed the wounds
of the husband. Mr. Mitchell Is one
of the oldest carpenters in the city.
They have two daughters, Mrs. Jessie
HayesV who husband is the well
known fish dealer. and Mrs. George
Hayes, wife of the policeman.

Norwaik‘s water supply Is now low.

The brooks which feed this reser

as dry as a. bone. as are both brooks
which food It. .

It was stated this. morning by one
of the water commissioners that the
amount of water now on band would
not last over fourteen days at the out-
side estimate. The people must be
careful In the use of It, so as to make
It last that length of tlw .

All the connections are made with"
the South Ndrwalk pipes. but although
they have plenty at present, It, Is not
best to rely on their supply. because
If they should become short they
