fray and Miss Tamale. Scully who were
drowned when their yacht Dieectoire
WB sunk by the ferryboat Mayflower
of Centre Island Thursday night,
were recovered at 6.30 yesterday morn.
-4r, leg. Meet Aykroyd and several as-
Sistants dragged the waters in the
Vicinity of eth.e scene of the accident
without intermission throughout the
night. It was not until all the bodies
had been found that the relatives and
friends of the young People could
be convinced that they had not es-
caped and found shelter at (some of
the Island cottages. The family of
John Pearce did not learn of his death
until' a brother read the story of the
accident yesterday morning.
The body of Miss Scully was iden-
tified at the morgue by two sisters
from St. Joseph's Convent. 'Miss
Scully was graduated from the con-
vent two yeare ago an.d since that
Ulu° has resided at the home of her
father, Mr. Edward Scully, of Wind-
sor. She arrived in the city only
Thursday morning to visit the family
of Mr. Alexander Jaffrey .and called
at St. joseph'e Cenvent in the after-
noon to see her aunt who is a sister
there.
Mate Cartwright, of the Mayflower,
said that he was on the lookout. He
gave the signal to reverse the engines,
but the ferryboat was so close to the
yacht that the collision could not be
prevented.
John Pearce is said to have helped
n two ladies into a launch, and to have
lt endeavored to aid another, before he
sank exhausted and was drowned..
Mr. William Ross, 784% Yonge street,
also performed a plucky act when ne
jumped from .the ferryboat and res-
cued one of the ladies who was strug-
gling in the water.
"My own opinion is that they all
went over to one side of the boat and
upset themselves," said Capt. Mc-
Maugh, of the Mayflower, "but, of
course, our bumping them had some-
thing to do with it.
"I didn't see them until we were
right on top sof them, and the mate
had yelled to me to back up. We did
not hit them at all hard. We were
hardly a boat's length from the slip
when it happened. The mate, who
had. been on the lookout from the
time we left the Bey street wharf,
saw our lights shine on the sail. He
yelled to me that there was a boat
in front qf us and for me to back up.
"I threw the indicator right back
and thought that the rush of water
would send them away from us. . We
were so close to the slip that I had to
either go into it or into the dock.
'That's about all that I can say'

them before I knew they were there
and I did the best that I could. I

Miss Margaret Jaffrey, and Miss
• Scully are thought to have fallen under
the sail of the yacht and to have been
unable to get out from under it. Pearce
Is supposed to have been struck by the
, paddle of the ferry. Until yesterday
Morning it was thought that the two
young ladies had been rescued by a
launch and taken to a cottage at the
Island, and that Peasee was the only
one who had been drowned. Arthur Jaf-
frey was under the impression that' he
had. assisted his sister into a launch,
but it afterwards turned out that it
was Mies McMahon he had rescued. The
three bodies 'were recovered by Malt.

to the story told by all, the ferry was

said, "for We were just between there
and the lights on the Island. We all

no attempt to even get out of our way,

that she wouli not answer the rudder,

It was from ten minutes to half an
hour before all the people were taken
out of the water and they were all

Graybill, a produce' Merehaut, was shot
and probably fatally wounded; J. J.
Buck, a loeal capitalist, has a bullet in
his seoulderi a waiter has a bullet hole
through his hand, and the police to -day
are looking for Walter Fawcett, a well
knewn club man.
Buck is said. to be in a dangerous con-
dition and is. unconscious. Graybill
showed. improvement to -day, but is not
out of danger,
The Tomah°, Club is one of the most
fashionable country resorts in this sec-
tion of the State. In a stigma statement
issued to -day, W. 0. Mewing, a State
law enforcement officer, declares practi-
cally everybody in the place, including
at least twenty society Women of Tulse,
were intoxicated. Fleming owns a largo
interest in the club house and has been
severely critielsed by the local clergy for
his connection with the place.
Officers this morning raided the club
house, and • felted 200 pints of whiskey
and 50 pints of chanepagne, as well as a
score of well known married women. of
this section, many of whom were sup-
posed to have been at eastern, seeside
resorts spending their vacations, but
who have in reality been living at the
club house for more than two months.
It was rumored treday that Governor
Haskell had ordered W. B, Cain, chief
of the law enforcement bureau of the
State, to the scene and that a thorough
investigation of the club house and the
sltooting affray svill be made immedi-
ately.
An eye -witness of the shooting said
that the trouble originated when Buck
was discovered dancing with Mrs. Mar-
tin Shively, wife of a local grain dealer,
by Mr. Shively. The latter objected,
and Buck banteringly Offered to fight
him for possession of Mrs. Shively. They
came to blows, it is asserted.
Buck received the worst of the en-
counter and soon disappeared. Shortly
afterward he began shooting at the
house from underneath a large tree out-
side, and one of the bullets bit Graybill.
Walter Fawcett, manager of the place,
then opened fire on Buck with an auto-
matic revolver, and suceedeed in placing
it bullet bit Buck's shoulder. All of this
time the drunken men and women in the
house were mounted on tables and on
chairs, and were. loualy singing, "What
the - do we care?"
Many local business mon whose wives
were absent front the city rushed to
Tanabe, in automobiles, and a number
of them found their wives in the dub
house. It was learned to -day that a
number of the women at the house were
the wives of prominent State officials,
while a few are from neighboring States.

PRAYING FOR RAIN.
Spokane, Wash., Aug. 22. -Fierce for

Alene region, in Idaho, especially near
Wallace, Murray and Mullen are tax-
ing the fighting resources of hunch -as
of men almost beyond endurance and
the task of subduing the flames fs ap-
parently hopeless.
Citizens of the threatened towns are
in a' wild state of panic. The dense
smoke which envelopes them causes in-
tense suffering. Men and women are
praying for rain and that there may be
no change of wind.
A heavy pall of smoke bangs over the
country for utiles. Heated embers are
falling everywhere. A change of wind
from east to west wochl bring the
fiery furnace to the top of the hills
overlooking Wallace. There the fierce
flames would create a heat in which
frame buildings would burn like tinder
in spite of all precautions.
The fire-fighters, wearied by weeks of
exertion, find that all their efforts have
been of little avail and look for no per-
manent relief until a heavy rain fall
stops the fires.
