DISASTERS.
Steamers Destroyed ON the Great LAX


The Detroit Tribune gives the folio wing sum
mary OF disasters to vessels and loss OF Life on
the great lakes:-
''Since the commencement of steam navga-
tion on these lakes, the disasters of that kind
have not been a few, while the loss of life has
been very great. The most eVentful of these
occurrences was that of the steamer Erie,
beautiful craft with brief and unfortunate
career. The Erie was built at Erie, Pennsylvania,
in 1888, and commenced plying between Buffalo
and Detroit during the latter part of that sea-
son. more beautiful modelled or finished
boat has never been introduced on our inland
lakes, and of good speed; she was six hundred
tons burthen, with no cabins above the main
deck.
In 1916, during the month OF August she
burst her boiler, causing the death of six per-
sons in the Detroit river; and in ls4l, on the
night OF August 8, she became a total loss by
fire, off Silver Greek, with two hundred and
eighty lives. Those that were rescued were
taken on board the steamer De Witt Clinton,
Captain A. III. Squire, with many of the dead
and landed at Buffalo the following day. The
Erie was commanded from first to last by Capt.
F. J. Titus. who was subsequently drowned on
the coast of Lake Michigan. The nextfearful
loss of life by the burning OF a steamer was the
boat c. p. Griffith, IN Lake Erie, below Cleye
land, Captain {. G. Robby in commend.
A few days PRIOR to this sad event. the Grit
fifth changed owners at Buffalo, and left that
port on Sunday morning, having on board
large party OF excurslonists, of which number
upwards of $50 were either burned or drowned.
Washington, No. 2, was burned off Silver Creek,
on Jun9 l, 1868 with the loss OF sixty lives. She
was commanded by Captain j. W. Brown. The
propeller Phoenix, Captain B. G. Sweet, bound
for Chicago, on Lake Michigan, took ii re on a
cold Hleht in November 1876, short distance
below Sheboygan, and was totally destroyed,
with 1870 lives. The steamer Niagara, Captain
+. 5. Miller, some years subsequently met like
fate, with the loss of upwards of 80 lives.
OF other steamers which trayersed the lakes
In those times, mention might be made, that
suffered damages or were totally lost by the
same means, not emitting the Sea Bird on Lake
MICHIGAN, the early part of the present season.
with 100 lives. The Great Western was partially
destroyed by fire at Detroit; the Thames, total
loss at Windsor; the Little Western at Detroit,
and Cynthia near Maiden; the Daniel Webster
and Sandnsky at Buffalo, also the W. F, P.
Taylor. The Detroit No. 2 was partially de-
stroyed by fire at Newport. The steamer Ver-
million was totally destroyed in the same man
ner while lying In the dock at Huron, with five
fifteen boats thus destroyed, with nearly 1000
lives in all

BALTIMORE, Sept. THE primary elections
TOR delegates to nominate Democratic candi-

Districts take place in Baltimore this afternoon.
The excitement now runs intensely high, espe-
cially in the Third District. The Rawley element
are already out, excited with money and bad
whisky. terrible condition of generalization
exists IN the fight between Governor Swami and
RobertJ. Brent, and others, all Democrats for
the nomination. Swann's money seems most
effective, and may secure his nomination. If
successful he will be opposed by the Indepen-
dent Democrats. The Republicans look on, and
are determined to enter the field vigorously
against Democracy and Rebellion in every form.
The weather is hot and business is dull.

How A SETTLEMENT OUTGREW A
LAwYER.-A pettifogging lawyer
and manager in a new settlement
in Wisconsin, gave a missionary of
the American Sunday School u
nion the following account of a
Sunday-School 81 organized the
first Sunday-School in this county,
and ran it myselfone season. We
came in here early, all Americans.
We wanted to draw in decent, in
dustrious families, and to keep
out all foreigners and rowdies.-
So, l said: GA Sunday-School will
attract the folks we want, and
keep others out. It will be the
best and cheapest way to blow for
the settlement" There was not
one of Us that pretended to have
one grain of piety; so they pitched
on me to carry out the plan. l
did SO, and sent to your Society
and got library, and ran the
school allsummer. Itdid the blow
ing for US splendidly, Before sum-
mer was ended some Christian FAM
lilies came in /; and as they had
better stock of piety, | gave over
the Sunday-School to their hands.
It was a grand thing for u.s.
There wasn't foreigner OF any
sort that ever stayed in the settle
ment more than one night. We
secured good American and NOR
raj settlement. In fact, it got to
be SO pious that / couldn't live
there myself"

Negroes on the Stump.

At Demopolis, Ala, six or sew
en- freedmen made speeches on
last Saturday, which show that
they are beginning to see their on
ly true interests, and that the
carpet-baggers are not worth much
to them as friends. We extract
the account which the New Era
gives of the speech of uncle San
dy Cameron, who gave the fnishs
ing touch, as follows:
He told them that he was born
in the South--that he was South
ern man, and that the Southern
men were his friends. He had
vet to learn of any good to. the
black man that could come from
these Yankee peddlers in secret
politics. The Southern man had
never lied to him or deceived him
when he was a slave, nor since
he was free. That God had put
him and the Southern man here
upon the same soil, and they
must either stand or fall together.
The old man gave them a scath-
ing rebuke for being blindly hitch
ed in by set of adventurers who
had only leagued themselves to-
gether as kind of ladder on
which they could climb into Of
fee; and wound up by saying that
she had rather be lathered with
aquafortis and shaved with a
handsaw, or live on pills hewed
out with broad-ax than to be
left in the hands of such set of
scallawags. Uncle Sandy evin-
ced an unusual intelligence and
acumen for man of his color,
without previous advantage, and
we would not be afraid to pit him
against the carpet bagger OF the
batch. Long may his gray hairs
and long finger wave to point his
people to the truth and their best
interest. We would advise the
radical scrub stock who are put
into this race to steer clear OF
Uncle Sandy. He knows too
much to be fooled with.
