Ogdensburg, N. Y., despatch says: The
steamer Sirius, carrying the Methodist
Sunday school pioiiie from Massena, was
capsized near Brewers' dock, in the
Grass River, just below Moments, near
here, this afternoon. Seven people are
known to have lost their lives. They
are: The Misses Parker, of t)gdensburg;
:tars. Frith, of \laxv:ille, Ontario; Mies
Ifeegoe and Miss noway, of Massene, and
two boys named ifackett and. Cline, of
Masecea:
The boat is eyieg capsiaea in the river.
Four bodies have been recovered.,
The ,eteamer left the dock ,here this
morningeece. teeenwaleatee the .Ganallia,
aid:, with 75 persons, alt bound for a
day''& outing there. Most of these
.aboard were residents of Ogdensburg and
laminae. The picnic crowd boarded. the
Sirius on the return trip about 4 o'clock
tide afternoon, and were seated on deck,
under the canvas awning when the
craah came.
At Brewers' Point, about three miles
above where the Gress River empties in-
to the St. Lawrence, the Sirius put in to
take on board a passenger, a little girl,
who is new among the missing. 1'he
Sirius swung ont from the cloak, struck
a rock and listed dangerously. The
crowd ran to one side, then to the other,
and the boat capsized with her head
turned up stream instead of down. The
river is only 100 feet wide at this point
and only ten feet deep.
Mee. (Rev.) Thomas lenglish, wife of
a former ?eater of Fort Covington, N.
Y., was resuscitated after great diffi-
culty; and Mrs. Daniel Morrison, of Mas -
sone, had her•batek injured enol her legs
are believed to have been tn1galyzed in
consequence.
The deck was swept bare in a moment
and the entire party were struggling for
life in the swift wasters. Women who
could not swim clutched at camp -stools
and other portable articles burledinto
the river by the impact, while others,
upheld and aided by reale companions,
battled their way against the enrrelit
to the overturned steamer. Picnickers
et the International Park, just opposite
the scene of the wreck, nasnned every
motor boat and skiff available and aided
in the work of rescue,
They .picked u11 scores who had clung
Io the sides of the furry boat.` Others,
benumbed and exba.usted, were swept
down stream to death.. So qukikly did
the river claim its victims that those
who were drowned had :shady met
their end when boats from the Interna-
tional Paris- reached the scene, hardly
five minutes after the crash. Those res-
cued were taken . to , the International
.'ark, and later proceeded - to this testy.
The Sirius• ilea to -night near mid-
stream, capsized. The vessel was form-
erly a private yacht, and saw service at

The meat and other perishable goods
