Death of William H. Berley. William H. Berley, one of the best known residents of this town, died at 2:25 o'clock July 26, following a long and painful illness, due first to an attack of pellagra, a complication of diseases having arisen during the latter days of his illness. While the de^th of Mr. Berley did not occasion great surprise, bis family and friends having reafczed'several months ago that it. was only a matter of time j until the^end would come, yet it was only yesterday that he accompanied members of his family on a long *=' !? ?-j.

The deceased had been blind for the last several years, but thisi did not mar his cheerful disposition which had always been a characteristic of his life. W. H. Berley was 46-years of age. He is survived by his wife, who was Miss Bessie Caujghman; three young daughters, Sari Mildred Berley, Bertha Siiaii^Berley and Catherine Berie& one s/C Mrs. B. Kyzer, and HIsHjarent^^r.^nd Mrs. W.

In the capsizing- of the steamer "Eastland" just off of her wharf in the Chicago river on Saturday last, j there occurred one of the greatest j maratime disasters in the quarter of a century. Approximately one thous-1 and persons, the employees of the! Western Electric company with theirj friends, lost their lives by the sinking of the Eastland. The excursion steamer, was loading for a pleasure trip across Lake Michigan, suddenly brook lose from her moorings ar.d rapidly began to list. Within five minutes she had turned her entire body of passengers into the river or ? * ' V 3 imprisoned tnem in ner suDinergea hull. So far, divers have recovered 824 bodies, and various reports state the that the death list will run up to one thousand, though it is probable that this estimate is too large. Secretary Kedfield is on the ground and is assisting in conducting the investigation. The coroner's inquest is endeavoring to locate the blame, and all parties, both local and federal are working together to ascertain whether or not negligence upon the part of the steamer's owners caused the disaster. Over-loading, underballasting and grounding on the river bottom have been cited in the progress <">f the coroner's inquest a? probable reasons for the sinking of the steamer. Divers are still at I work recovering1 bodies, and most of the bodies recovered are those of; women and children. Mothers and , children, hundreds of girls off for a gala day from their tasks of making telephone and other electrical ap-i paratus in the factories of the Wes-' tern Klectric company, were drown ed. The General manager of the trans poration company, the officials in! charge of the boat, and other officials' connected with the ownership and operation of tho transporation lino; that owned the Eastland have been 1 detained awaiting further investi-I gation as to the placing of the blame; for the accident.
