A terrible disaster occurred here this afternoon by which fourteen persons eight women , four children nnd two mon lost their lives.- The steamer Crystal Stream with tbo barge Republic In tow nnd having aboard about ilvo hundred adults and as many children on the excursion of the employes of Theodora ICnyscr , n dry coeds dcalor of Graham avenue , Brooklyn , arrived at the Cold Spring prove dock about V ! o'clock , having loft South Sixth street , Brooklyn , U. D. , at 10:80 : this morning. About : t:30 : o'clock the last whistles for all to get aboard were blown uy the steamer and at 3-l3 : everybody was ready to start , The larger portion of the excursionists were on the barge , whore the young people were dancing. Just then some heavy clouds covered the sky , nnd then came a squall , the wind driving everything before it. The beat hands , anticipating a shower , had lot down the canvas curtains which are attached to the hurricane deck nnd fastened them down to the port side. This prevented the wind from blowing through , and as one strong gust struck the barge It lifted the starboard side of the hurricane deck clear from its fastenings nnd supports and forced it and the posts and partitions over to the port sldo. As It pushed over the end of the deck nearest the dock to which the barge was fastened It dropped down upon the hundreds pf women nnd children who had crowded over to that side of the barge in an ofTort to os- capo. Heartrending SOCIICH. In a moment the air was rent with the shrieks and agonizing cries of the poor vic tims whoso lives were being crushed out nnd limbs broken. It was in the miust of u terri ble thunder storm and the waves ran high. Some persons think that the mast of the barge on which the people wen ) killed was struck by lightning. . lint this is not known. Women and children became panic-stricken and were running about the boat screaming wildly. The sky was dark and threatening. The sea was fearfully wild. The scene was heartrending and the ex- trctno excitement caused the relatives and friends of those ? on tbo barge who were on the steamer only added to the pandemonium which prevailed. Tbo ofllcers , deck hands ami other men on the steamer lost no time in reaching the barge nnd doing all in their power to rescue all whom they could from the wreck. Willt.ig hands from the Grove and neighboring places were also soon at work and In fifteen minutes the fallen deck was raised sufficiently to allow all these who were ulivo mid uninjured to crawl out. The in jured were assisted frojn tno barge. It had been hoped that none bad been killed , but the lifeless bodies of fourteen were seen to bo ly ing nlaar'thc ' gun\valc-AIHrarltwU tbo lives crushed out of thorn by being cailpht-lieUveon the cud o't the dock. , and " the ; guardralU ; Women and. children and oven' strong men ? wept pltcbusly as they- looked upoh' tno dead , or dying. lilit of flic Vl-tlins.

Ho was thrown over and fell be tween tbo deck nnd the boat , Among the injured are : Charles Held , Johnson avenue , arm broken and other bruises. Mrs. Henry Isbolmnn , 100 Skillman avenue , foot broken and other bruises. Mrs. Zimmerman , lifty-slx years of ago , 110 Jackson street , seriously Hurt in tbo chest and head. It is feared that her injuries will prove fatal. for the Injured. The wounded worn carefully carried aboard of the Crystal Stream , which convoyed them around to Oyster Bay village , a distance of six miles , where tboy were attended by phy sicians. The steamer returned hero and car ried another laid to Oyster Buy nnd again for the third load. In tbo meantime arrangements were being made by tlio committed of the excursion for a special train to carry the excursionists to Brooklyn , A number took the U-nlii which loft Oyster Bay all ) o'clock. Others among them , some of the most seriously injured , ro- malnca on board the Crystal Stream which loft hero for Brooklyn at about 7iO. ; ! The bodies of the fourteen dead were laid in u row on the deck of the ill-fated barge mid were covered over with tarpaulin to await the arrival of the coroner from liuntinglon. The place where the disaster occurred is at the head of Cold Spring harbor , not far from Luurelton , nnd is u fnvorilo plcnlo ground. The falling of the deck ot the barge and the snd results that followed are , It is said , duo entirely to the rotten condition of the sup ports. Many of the excursionists curried homo with them pieces of the center posts , which show that they are perfectly rotten nt the core. The barco ' Itself , it U said , Is un safe in other parts. Mrs. Schamnnt of No. 214 Brlpgs street , whoso daughter Lizzlo was among the killed. says that she was standing nt the upper end of the barge , her sister being In about the middle with the little girl. Shu saw the storm coming and was trying to get to shelter when a cyclone cumo and ripped the top of the barge oil and n intnutu after bho saw her daughter's legs sticking out from between the guard rail. She coula hear-her scre ming - ing but could not help her. She does not know what became of her sister , and feared she also has been killed. StllUMlHilltH \VltllCHHCH. . George Peters of No. 101 Kwon street , who was slightly bruised about the body by thereof roof striking him when It went over , said : "Everybody had gone on board the barge and steamer , and thov were Just preparing to cast off the huwtors by which the barge was fastened to the dock when u cyclone struck the barge and threw It over to one side. They bud Just pulled down the canvass on one sldo to protect these on board from the rain which was commencing to full , when n fearful gust of 'wind lifted the roof off and earned It with the pilot house und everything else over against the sldo nearest the dock. A number of people were crushed botwrcn the sldo of the root which dropped down when the supports broke and I think most of those who wtro killed had their lives crushed out In that way. I assisted a num ber of women and children to get from under the roof. 1 never witnessed such n torrlblo sight In my life. I did not know many of the killed or wounded. Several of these killed wore strangers to mo. I was under the roof when the wind struck It but It slid over mo.

LONDON , AUK. I',1. Mrs. Walter Beverly Crane , formerly Miss Alice Coopar of Now York , but tnoro recently of Paris , has brought an action in tbo divorce division of her majesty's high court of Justice for the nnnullment or her marriage on the ground .that it was hi ought uuout by forco. U'no , " ' , couple nro cousins. In her "complaint "Sir's. . Crane alleges that whllo she was in London 'prior tO'her ' marriugd Mr. Crane invited her to-vi'sitStXpaul/add tircro * ' forced her .to marry him , threatening her with death un less she consented. The judge hold that Mrs. Crane had not proved her case. The ovluoncc , ho snld , showed that she know she was about to bo married and that she consented to go through the ceremony with the respondent when , perhaps , she did not think that such a mar- riugo would bo binding. No evidence has been submitted to show that the petitioner was a person of very weak will or that her cousin possessed a very strong will and bad overpowered her volition. In concluding his decision bis lordship said ho very much re gretted , owing to the cynical behavior of Mrs. Crnno's husband , that , tbo petition was not supported by the evidence.

A strong wind is blowing nnd the llamos are rapidly spread- inc. Water is scarce in the vicinity of the forests though It Is i.ot behoved that If great quantities were obtainable- would bo of any use ns It is of course impossible for any human being to get any rt'hcro near the con flagration owing to the intense boat. Tbo authorities have been called upon to aid tbo residents In fighting the tire and the soldiers and many others are employed in digging u trench nroutd ) the burning section in order to stop the progress of the tire It Is thought , however , by those who have scon forest llrcs In America that the only moans of stopping the conllagrution will bo to adopt the Ameri can plan of starting "back llres" that Is burning a tract of the forest , sufficiently wide to prevent the llamcs from crossing it. It is believed that tbo llrcs are of incendiary origin. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .Murderer Attcmpti . ulclilo. VIENNA , Auir. IS.
