steamer Il. X. Collins Burned on Lake
Erie-TWenty-twoL Lives Lost!

DETROIT Oct. 9th.-The steamer f.. X i.
Collins. from the Saut for Cleveland left
this city last night between 10 and ii
O'clock. About midnight the boat was dis
covered to be on fire when little below
Maiden, near the lighthouse at the mouth of
the river. Before the boat could be got
ashore she was completely enveloped in
flames and twenty-five persons perished
either in the flames or in the water
PASSENGERS MISSING. G.-N1rs Dibble, some
where in New York Samuel Powell, Cleve-
land; Lawrence Whalen, do; Thos. Cook
Pittsburgh, r. K. Agt., Cleveland Mrs
McNcily, wife of waiter; Mrs. Watrous
and child, htabua--body Of child re-
covered colored man from Virginia.
Fourteen of the crew are missing, sup
posed to have been lost,
The Collins took fire on her boiler deck
and so rapid was the spread of the flames
that the passengers and crew, who had
mostly retired, were unable to save anything
except d few articles of clothing. She took
fire in the bay, about quarter of a mile
below Maiden and nearly abreast of the
light house. She was Immediately headed
Tor shore, but was unable to reach shallow
water before the flames had complete pos
session of her. The after part of the boat
swung rouRd into the river and nearly all on
board were driven to that part of the boat
and were obliged to jump into the river.
The cueSent here sets out very strongly
into the lake, and had it not been for the
timely arrival of Captain Langley, of the
propeller Fintry, nearly all would inevitably
have been drowoed. Seeing the light, he
FASTENED to the spot, and had his boats all
ready to let go AS soon as the vicinity
was reached this was done, and mostly all
who Were saved were picked up by him,
few only yeached the shore. Some were
nearly exhausted. Everything that could be
done TO relieve the sufferers was done by the
crew of tte Fintry, who acted nobly Some
wretch in the tumult stole 1880 from a sick
man who had been at work at the Saut,
and which constituted his earnings A
purse Of 500 was made up for him.

For the Journal.
To G.. s. B.

The earth hath closed upon thy friend,
Thy Brother sleeps beneath the sod,
The tenement of clay dissolved,
The spirit freed and gone to God.
His manly form, by sickness wrecked,
His brow distorted long by pain,
Death kindly came to his relief,
0 wish him not on earth again.
1t were no sin-thy tears may fall;
The Savior wept o'er Lazarus dead,
And o'er the erring Jews of old
The tear of pity Jesus shed.
God rules in mercy still and love,
Affecting for his children's good,
o trust his love, and calmly bow
Submissive to his clustering rod.
His grace can heal thy broken heart,
And teach thee, when Affections come
To look aloft, and, trusting, say,
Father above, "thy will be done''

PROBABLE TIDINGS OF THE STEAMSHIP City
OF GLAsGow.---At last, after months of pain
full suspense, indications Of the probable
fate of the steamship City of Glasgow, and
of the hundreds of unfortunate beings who
embarked in her, have come to light. Capt.
McLeavy, of the bark Mary Morris. from
Glasgow, arrived at New York on Friday,
and reports that on the 18th of August, in
lat $3.50, Ion. 1902, weather very thick at
the time and heavy sea on, he fell in with
the hull of large iron vessel, apparently
Clyde built. painted black, with bright red
bottom. There were three or four compart-
mcnts in the hull, and all the wood work
was entirely burnt out Of her. Some of the
men who were sent aloft to look into her,
perceived she had machinery in her On
the next day Capt. McLeavy fell in with
and took on board full length female fig
ure-head, about seven feet i'll height, with
her hands extended, and wreath upon her
head and green stripes on her dress.
1t was the impression of all on board the
bark that the wreck was that of an iron
propeller, supposed the City of Glasgow
From the circumstance that no other iron
vessel has been reported lost, except the
steamer Helen Sloman, some three years
back. appearances favor the belief that the
wreck was that of the City of Glasgow, and
that the fate of the poor souls on board,
though different from that hitherto supposed,
was the most awful that can occur among
the many disasters incidental to the ocean.
Though the proofs are but small to identify
the wreck rs that of the City of Glasgow,
the weather heing too unfavorable to make a
more thoroug' examination, still enough
may have been seen to guide those to a de-
cision who were acquainted with the unfor-
$unate vessel.

AsIA.-The recent successes of the Rus
slams in Asia have been rendered nugatory
by diversion made by Schamyl A letter
from Erzeroom of the 18th ultimo, in the
Paris Pays, says: .....
" have to announce to you fact which
has produced great sensation in Asia, and
is of material importance, after the defeat
of the Turks at Kars. We had feared mo-
ment that the Russians would march upon
Erzeroom, but we are now without appre-
hension on that subject. Schamvl, at the
head of 10000 horsemen, has descended from
the mountains into Georgia. AS the Rus
SLAMS expected no attack on that side, they
were not on their guard.
1.-The Circassian chief has inflicted upon
them serious damage. Two hundred viii
lagos were put to fire and sword. Schamyl
is now within few leagues of Tefis.-
Bajazid has been evacuated by the Russians,
who have entirely withdrawn from the Otto
man territory. 1t is not known whether
this movement was occasioned by the pres
ence of Schamyl in the neighborhood of
Iefiis, or whether the corps which occupied
Bajazid had been recalled, in order to fill up
the extensive vacancies caused by the last
battle. Be this as it may, the communica-
IiOHo Will cISld, WHlCll udu Uccl III leI-
rupted, are now completely free"
The NEGoTIATIoNs.- Independence
Beige gives the substance of the answer to
the Western Powers, viz Russia expresses
surprise that Austria should have transmit
ted such proposals to ST. Petersburgh, unac-
companied by any concession on the part of
the Western Powers. Russia, therefore, re-
jects them. The Gar indefinitely regrets
that he has not been able to accept the last
overtures made by Austria. He considers
that he has made every concession compati-
BILE with the honor of Russia, and it only
remains for him to do the same as his enc
mes-that is, to try the eventualities Of
war, in order to arrive at some solid basis of
negotiations.
The Emperor Nicholas has directed his
general-in- chief TO pass the Pruth with his
troops, from strategic motives, and Russia
will keep herself within her frontiers until
more equitable conditions are offered her
The Emperor, on his side, will avoid increas-
ing the complications of the war, but he
will repel, with the greatest energy, all at
tacks against him from whatever quarter
they may proceed.
The Western Powers have expressed them
selves satisfied with Austria's resolve to re-
main for the present in armed neutrality.
The Germanic Diet resumed its sittings on
the 18th inst, when the Prussian represen-
tative would inform the diet that Prussia,
never having bound herself by the guaran-
tees demanded by the Western Powers, will
in future remain strictly neutral.

The Provincial Parliament of Canada has
passed an act granting to aliens the right to
purchase and convey lands in the Queens
Provinces to the extent of four hundred
acres each. The government have put large
tracts of land into market at $lassl .25 per
acre. No reservations have been made re-
specting minerals, and the Yankees in flocks
are prospecting on the north shore of Lake
Superior for copper and iron, and rich open
ings have been discovered; and where one
Yankee squatter could not cover the mineral
field, several unite, make their claim, and
jointly purchase the site.
