tugs, the captains of which had seen the
outbreak of the fire, started after the vessel, Joined by a yacht, while rowboats put

the efforts of the. people In these boata to

Men crowded t the rails, of the tugs and
caught up the drowning persons aa they
were borne by the current. There were
many thrilling rescues by this means.
North Brother Island, where the vessel
waa beached, contains a scarlet fever ward.
The patients, who witnessed the disaster,
were ordered Indoors and the doctors hastened to the rescue of those who had been
washed ashore, but some scores of persons

having on board the Sunday achool excursion of St. Mark's German Lutheran
church, located In Sixth street Its destination was Locust Grove, one of the many
resorts on Long Island sound.
The excursion was In charge of Rev.
George C. Haas, pastor of the church. The
vessel waa commanded by William Van
Bchalk, one of the bent known excursion
boat captains in New York harbor.
He has commanded the General Slocum
for almost the entire time alnce It was
built. In 1891.
The steamer after leaving Its dock this
morning proceeded up the East river, all
three of ita decks being crowded with merrymakers. Bands played and' the great
aide wheeler was decorated with flags from
stem.,to stern.
The Slocum had reached a point near the
Sunken Meadows off One Hundred aqd
Thirty-fiftstreet, Manhattan, which-lat
the extreme eastern end of Randall's Island,
when fire, broke out in a lunchroom on the
forward deck. The blase was caused by
the overturning of a pot of grease. The

The Slocum got within fifty feet of the
northwest point of North Brother Island
and there stopped in the shallow water.
It waa Just before the vessel, beached
that the hurricane deck, the supports of
which had burned away, fell with its load
of women and children, adding to the panic
and horror of those on the deck below.
Very soon after parts of the second and
third de"ks also caved In. But before this
happened the tug Walter Tracy had come
alongside the burning steamer and been
lashed to It. Many of .the passengers! were
taken oft by the crew of frne Trace y,- - which

been outon the porches and lawns watching
the approach of the burning steamer, were
ordered indoors and the physicians on the

Body After Body Washed Ashore,
.The scene-- , on - North Brother. IsUuvV as
described by
was a pitiful
one. Body after body waa washed ashore
or brought in by boata and added to the
long row on the beach. Fifty-thre- e
persons died .there while-- : the- doctors were attending them.
As the bodies of the living and the dead
were taken from the water, those alive
were taken to the hospital drt the Island
or sent across the river to hospitals In
Manhattan: Here ambulances from almost
all the hospitals in Greater New York and
every other sort of conveyance which could
be found were put Into service.
;
For hours the bodies of the burned" and
the drowned drifted ashore 'on the island
and between 131st and S8th streets, In
Manhattan. Some came ashore still alive.
Many of these died, while others will recover. It is doubtful. if some of the bodies
can ever be ldenttAd. Heads, legs and
arms are burned off' arid not a shred of
clothing Is left on them. What looked
like a big hntrhway, on which were Ave
or six bodies, was found floating in the
cove at Hunt's Point and towed carefully
alongside the Fidelity.
The wood was badly charred snd ' the
bodies seemed to stick to It.- Ths ollce-me- n
and ths crew of the Fidelity were
to release the bodies without further
mutilating them, and arrangements were
made to noise the hatchway with the bodies
on it to the deck of the Fidelity.
Craft Comes to Assist.
Among the boats that hurried to the auc-cof the stricken passengers were several
tugs of the New York Central & Hudson
River Railroad company, the auxiliary
ratbont.Easy Times, the Health department
tug Franklin Edson and the steamer
. These, approached. with ,
swarm
'
of roooats manned 'by willing hands and
rescued scores of people. The Franklin
T'dson went so close to the burning steamer
that he r own paint was scorebpd... The
crew oMhe tug, however, stuck braveiy to
their work and snatched many women and
children from a terrible death.. The Are
had possession of the boat, from stem to

Mills was summoned from Its moorings at the foot of East Nlnety-nint- b

of exceptional merit. Among these were
the closing exercises at Vinton school. Mrs.

and Miss Aleen,. gave, a program to the
other membera ot the school. Rev. J. M,
Ross making the address of ths afternoon.
Following the program the pupils of the
seventh grade tendered the graduating
class a reception In the kindergarten room,
which waa effectively trimmed In red, refreshments and other pleasant features contributing to the afternoon. Friday morning,
at the close of the session, the members
of the eighth grade entertained the entire
school, holding a reception for an hour.
Out of respect for Miss Lillian Little-fiellate principal of Park school, no closing exercises were held at that building.
Park, however, has an honor roll of which
it is especially proud, twelve eighth grade
pupils who have not missed a day of school
during the last year. The list Includes:

It Is
anticipated that a most satisfactory proportion of the eighth grade pupils will
make their grade and enter the high school
In September.
The class Is estimated at
between 700 and 760 pupils. There are, of
course, several schools that have eighth A
classes finishing their work this spring, and
these classes will, with the pupils who
fall to pass, be condensed In three or four
of the more centrally located buildings In
the fall until February, when they will
enter the high school. Mason, Comenlus,

last year and will probably be used again.

New Are hydrants contiifue to be ordered
by the city council, and Tuesday night
an ordlnsnce was introduced providing for
nineteen more. At the same meeting ordinances were given Anal passage that
direct the water company to Install eleven
new hydrants. Fully a dozen have been
ordered previous to this and one or two
have been placed in pesitlon. ;
For several years no additional hydrants
could be secured because of the arbitrary
limitation of the water fund, although
there have been many requests from
various parts of the city here residents
believed they had 'Inadequate Are . protection. Recently City Attorney Wright gave
an opinion that with the abolition of the
water fund by the enactment of the bill
to acquire the water plant obstacles to,
these hydrants were removed and that
pending the municipalization, of the plant
as many hydrants could be ordered aa desired. The water company entered a feeble
demurrer, but consented tu a friendly suit
in court whereby It is mandamused to put
the hydrants In as. directed by the mayor
and council.
,
The new hydrants that have been authorised by the council are to be at the following locations: On California street 600 feet
east of Fortieth; Evans, 00 feet east of
