ing shore.
The lost steamer was about six
years old, and the property of Ed.
mund ingalls,, Esq, who loses heav,
lily, there being but $4,000, insu
rance on her. She was valued at
$4,000, and was brought to this
city in 1870, by Major L. II. Ten.
ney. Her name stLotta Bernard, .
was in honor of Mr.. Tenney's part
ner's little daughter" Lotta," and
Mr.. T.'s son." Bernard"
She sunk, few minutes after the
yawl left her, in l25 fatboms OF
water and lies about six and hall
miles abreast of Encampment Is
land. Her cargo, consisting of a
horse, 200 sacks of flour aud so
kegs of fish, was of course lost with
her.
We cannot close our account OF
this unfortunate shipwreck without
speaking word or two commenda-
tory Of the gallant man who so no
bly, stood to her deck to the last
Captain Michael Norris. All
who were aboard agree in the opin-
ion that he displayed under the
trying circum stances that surroun
ded HIM a GOODNESS and heroism
which entitle him to rank as one OF
the bravest of the brave of the
many courageous shipmasters who
navigate the chain of lakes. His
calmneSs, amid the roaring waves,
stamps him as man Of iron nerve
and undauntedness. May he live to
command some stauncher ship than
the one he tried SO heroically to
save. Nor will it do to overlook
the men under his command, who,
in the most cheerful manner, obeyed
with alacrity his every order, even
going down into the hold after the
fires were extinGuishcd. with a song
on their lips and bailing with a gay
cheerfulness that seemed almost un-
natural under the appalling sur
roundings. May they, too, live
long to tell their many friends OF
this, the saddest incident of their
lives.

Satisfactorily adjusted.
The Philadelphia Press Of the
30th uit., in an editorial on Jay
Cookies estate, gives the following
information:
"The decision given yesterday in
the Jay Cooke case is one of the
most important that has ever been
rendered upon the bankrupt law,
for this forty third section has new
er before been construed in any au-
thoritative manner. The effect of it
is to enable three fourths of the
creditors to take an estate so far
outside Of bankruptcy proceedings
as to put its management into the
hands Of those creditors by the
election of trustee and committee,
whose powers are sufficiently wide
to permit the estate to be wound up
under the administration of business
men and in a business way, freed
from the control of court of law.
"The history of the particular
branch of litigation which is thus
closed by this decision is briefly
this: In September last Judge
Cadwalader, upon the application
of single restive creditor, order
ed that a second meeting of all the
creditors should be held on the 9th
inst, under the provisions of the
twenty-seventh and twenty-eighth
sections of the act, which direct
how dividends shall be made. This
order was made on the ground that
the word trustee in the forty third
section meant assignee and that
the committee elected by three
fourths of the creditors was merely
an advisory body, without power to
act. This view of the learned d
Judge was resisted strenously by the
able counsel for the trustee and
committee, and also by several OF
the larger creditors. who dreaded
the result of being forced to wind
up the estate under the assignee
system "a system which would
make it necessary to fling an enor-
nous mass of unsalabie securities
upon the market under an auction

From the Duluth Herald.

From the Duluth Herald,
WE are called upon to record in
this issue the sad shipwreck of the
well-known side-wheel steamer Lot
Ia Bernard, which terrible disaster
took place on Thursday morning
last, about one o'clock, near En-
campment Island, some SO miles
east OF this city.
Early on the morning of the day
previous to the dire event, the wind
began blowing fresh from the north
east, and the breeze, freshening as
the morning hours sped away, RI
pened by sunset into terrific gale,
equal indeed to that Of November
1872, which so damaged our break
water and played havoc with sever
al vessels at that time lying outside
of our harbor. Although it was sin
cerely hoped no accident had betal-
len any vessel on the lake, yet it has
turned out otherwise, for, on Sunday
afternoon last, our people were elec-
trifed with the Intelligence that the
Lotta Bernard had been totally
wrecked
This painful intelligence was
brought hither by Capt. Michael
Norris, in command Of the Lotta at
the time of her loss, who, with eleven
others OF the saved, reached Duluth
at pm. on the Sabbath.
The survivors were in a most de-
plorable condition-hatle>s, coatless,
bootless-and their arrival at the
Manitoba House, whittier they were
conveyed from the boat in which
