FRENCH TROOPS DEFEATED. Jcoiitcd LAKE CITY, July light, just before dark, a disastrous cy- lone bore down upon this community.

nd in a few minutes nearly l'2o lives vcre lost. What appeared lo ho an or- elcelric storm was noticed coin- ng-np-from, the west, but in bull' nn lour the whole heavens bad been con- info a lightning-lined black eau- py of death. A little before dark a orritic wind struck the village, driving ivoryqne in-doors. Trees wore buildings wrecked, and much dnsn- done in the Bhort time the Btorm listed. In a few momentB the news wns broad that an excursion boat with over people on it capsized in fho uiddle of Lake Pepin.

The boat was he steamer ijea wing, which came tlie lake from Diamond Bluff, a mall place about seventeen miles north if here, on an excursion to the oncamp- nent of the First. Kegiment, Minnesota National Guard, which is being held nile below ibis city. The steamer tarted on the homeward trip about o'clock, and, although there were igns of an approaching storm, it was lot considered in any way serious, nnd 10 clanger wns anticipated, 'ftnrtfim wait ca- about men, women and chil- hen from Hod Wing and Diamond being on board, and about 50 pco- on a barge, which was attached to he side of the steamer. When about ipposile Take City the boat began to eel the effects of the storm, but the of- icers kept on their way. The storm in- Teased as the boat continued up the ake, arid in fifteen minutes was at its Height.

Neuring Central Point, about two miles above Lake City, the steamer was at the mercy of the waves, which were washing over the boat, and all was contusion. The boat momentarily ran into bar, and (he barge was cut loose, and the steamer again set adrift in the lake, number of those on tbe barge jumped and Bwam ashore. As the barge floated agidn into the deep wntcr, those the barge saw the steamer as it was carried helplessly out into the middle of the lake, and as they were being tossed about on the raging waters they were horrified a later to see the sieamer its load of 150 people being precipitated into the lake. Those on the barge remained there until they were drilled near the shore and they were all rescued ov swam asliore. Among them two ladies wbo were brought to the beach strong and ready swimmers.

As soon as the storm began to effec the progress of the boat Capt. AVeathcrn gave instructions to run the boat into the Wisconsin shore, but it was too late The waves were running too high if permit the helmsman to operate the rudder, and the boat was at the com plete mercy of the storm. A few mo iniMits after the barge was cut away th steamer carried to the center of th lake, and the efforts of the boat's and the mofe cool-headed passenger ws-re devoted to preparations for th worst doxeu. (B-wjlf -Vii that were to be foniicLaiHi jumped into the. water, pro- ferrinf' to take their chances.

In tivo minutes more the waves bo- tu the boat the lower decks, and while hailstones as large as hen's eggs came down on the heads of the poor and helpless creatures who were huddled together on the top, a huge wave struck the craft on the side lit.the same moment that a blast of wind, more forcible than the others, carno up and carried the boat over. All of the people on board, 150 ov more, were thrown into the water. Borne being caught underneath, and others thrown into the waves. The boat turned bottom upwards, and only ten or fifteen were observed floating on the surface. These caught hold of the boat and climbed up on the upturned bottom, those first securing a position assisting the others.

In ten minutes more than twenty-five or so, who hud obtained momenlary safety on the boat could observe no others of (ho boat's crew or passengers Minting on the surface of Um continuing high sea of waves. Afterward, however, as tiash of lightning lighted up the. surface of the lake, the sight of an occasional while dress of TTfl rowhing woman or child was observable, imt It was impossible for those who witnessed the. hovvibte sight to lend any aid. Those, remaining began calling for help from the shore.

Soon the storm began to abale. and in hiilfan hour lights were observed Hitting about on the pier at Lake City, opposite which point the upturned stcaim The baige wan wrecked back of tlie loint which is known as Maiden Bock, nd is anchored there. The wreck of he steamer occurred oil' this point, nd the very greatly dismantled wreck iriftod over against the barge. She ay over on the port side and was rokon almost into kindling wood, nl- hough enough of Iho frame-work re- naiiied to hold together and work on. At half past 10 the bodies of a woman ind child, lo which ropes had been at- aehed, were drawn from the water.

'ho child was tho daughter John "Winters, of Ilcd Wing. Fred, "-'elvers, blacksmith, was taken out, a ew minutes later. That makes a total sixtv-fivo bodies already found, or about half tho totaj number Irowned. Corp. IS.

L. Perry, of yt. saw the wreck early last night, nd at once hastened to the shun render such assistance as was Finding a man stand- ng near a boat on the shore, ho asked be taken out into the storm to the jverturning boat. Being refused ho hreatened to kill unless his orders were jbcvcd, and with the help of his un- villini; assistant he saved the lives of ifleen or sixteen women. Mullen says the man has earned a com- nission.

From early morning a patrol of row- joats was keptupall over the neighbor- lood of the wreck, looking for bodies. Several were found in that way last light, and a small boy was found "then, loating and yelling, three miles down he lake from the scene of Ihe disaster, iattery of St. Paul, kept up a can- lomuliiig all day to-day, trying 1o raise bodies, but wilhtail success. The little steam tug Wanderer, tried insuccessfully to pull the wreck apart, ind then the Kthel Howard camo up ho river, and with the valuable aid of lie Luolla pulled apart the frame of what had been the top of the fitcamer. The Luolla then pulled tho K'CU Wing np uit of the water, releasing lirco bodies, one woman and two young num.

Alice Palmer, of Trenton. was tine of these, but the two men had lot bnen identified up to 1 o'clock. That makes a total of sixty-eight bodies now' found. It seems certain that at least 125 lives were lost in the disaster at Lake Pepin. About seventy bodies have already Oucu recovered, and it is thought that at least fifty more bodies are fnstin the wreck at lliii bottom of the, lake.

It was stated this afternoon that to keep the water out of the cabin arid io keep the people under shelter Cap' Wethcrn had locked the door of th en bin. If this is true it may explain much of the loss of life, although the loss would still have been very heavy. Kstimates vary us to the total number of dead. There wcro over 200 on the steamer and barge when they (o return to Ived "Wing, very few remaining behind on account of the storm, although many protested against iiie proposal fo steam up the lake in the face of such a gale as was then blowing. Of the whole number il is known positively that fifty were saved.

More may have escaped, tint only this many are known at this time to be Bale. That would leave about 150 victims of the disaster, but every one hopes the number may not go beyond 12o. A good number are still in the wreck, and a great many arc in the bottom of the lake where the gale first struck the steamer. Just how many will not bo known for some time yet, possibly for several days. In Lake City the damage to property by the cyclone is greaV, although no fa- tsilities hafi'o been reported.

IJ. Hubbard, Marshficlcl; Bedford Bush, Wauzeka; William G. Hall, Sparta: A Cincinnati, 'dispatch of the 15th Kays: A terrific explosion occurred late this afternoon at King's powder mills, on the Little Miami "Railroad, twenty- nine miles enei of ibiscily. Ton or more persons were killed and twenty or thirty seriously injured. Two em ply freight cars were being rolled into a side track where car containing 500 kegs of gunpowder was standing.

As the cars struck there was a great explosion, and immediately afterward another car containing 800 kegs of gunpowder exploded, making 1.300 kegs altogether. win. Frailly, abrakonnin in the service of the Little Miami, was standing on one of tho empty cars, and his body must have been blown to atoms, as no trace of it has yet been found. Five other persons, supposed to be the em- ployes of the company, were killed. The King's Powder Company and tiie Peters' cart ridge factory have works on both sides of the river along the railroad.

The explosion occurred on the south side, and the destruction was enormous. There are many cottages close to the wreck, occupied Ivy workmen. These were shattered by (he explosion, and their inmates injured. Twelve or fifteen girls sit work "in the cartridge factory were crippled by the explosion. The railway stations and the freight-house belonging to the Miami Hailroad, together with all the adjacent buildings, were set on (ire and consumed, as was the Peters cartridge factory.

The havoc wrought by the explosion of these sixteen tons of powder is dreadful. Tim Irack and ties of the railroad are fairly torn out of the earth, and a great hole ploughed in the ground. As soon as the news reached this city, a relief train was dispatched lo tlie scene of the disaster, with Supt. Peters and a large parly of surgeons on board. As most of the girls who were injured live at Morrow and South Lebanon il is most probable that they will betaken to their homes in those places.

cartridge factory was a large building, and many employes were in work at the time that" the explosion occurred. Advices from the scene of Ihe explosion at midnight confirm the first reports of destruction of properly and loss of life. Evciv- thing combustible in the vicinity "is burning, and it is impossible to obtain particulars. There were three families living in little cottages near the. place of the explosion, and six hours' diligent search failed to find any trace of them.

Eight or ten girls in tlie cartridge factory saved themselves from the flames by catching hold of a rope that bung from the building to the ground and sliding down. At midnight the smoke was stilling. The people arc dazed, and too busy lighiing the tlamcs to give tho names of the dead and woundert. The force of the explosion was felt at Mar- tinsvillc, where people thought it was a shock of earthquake. till iliw.
