Quite a sensation wascaused in the city yesterday by the report that a couple oí boys in camp at Wliltmore Lake had been drowned. The circumstances were substantially as follows: At about 3 o'clock Tuesday Postmaster Beal whose son Rice was camping at the lake, receiyed a telegram sent from Hamburg, the nearest telegraph station, purporting to be from anotuer inember of the camping party worded as follows: "Come to Whltmorc Lake on 5 o'clock train, important." There bcing no telephone or telegraph communication wltli Wliitmore Lake, Mr. Beal proceeded to drive there, bcing accompaniedby JoeWilliams.whose brother Bert was also in camp. As the two drove up in front of the hotel at the Lake, and saw the boys sitting tliern, no one but a parent can judge of their feelings. There would probably have been no excitement had not a farmer from the vicinity of the lake come into the city shortly after these gentlemen left, and reported that two of the boys In camp had been taken out of the lake, one of them dead, the other just allve. This, taken together with the dispatch, made it look pretty certain that there had been a serious accident. As may be imagined there was considerable anxious suspense among the relatives and friends bere until telegrama were recel ved from Messrs. Beal and Williams announcing that the boys were all alright. Wliy the dispatcli was sent has not yet been accountcd for, as the young man whose name was signed to it had that afternoon gone to Portage Lake. It is charitable to suy that its import to a parent was not fully realized by the boy, and should he ever have occasion to send another telegram he would no doubt be more careful about its wording.
