LOST In LAKE SUPERIOR.
A Schooner, with Twenty Souls,
Goes to the Bottom.
The Disaster Witnessed by Seamen Pow
erless 10 Send Assistance.

A recent dispatch from Port Arthur says
the schooner Mary Ann Hubert, which was
icing towed to Michipicoton by the steamer
Kincardine, foundercd OF st. Ignace island
in Lake Superior. The Hubert carried
crew of Ave, in addition 10 fifteen laborcrs,
all of whom went down with the vessel The
Kincardine reports that a terrific storm came
on them very suddenly. The steamers
officers held on to the vessel rs long as
they POSSIBLY could, but finally had 10
cut her loose TO save themselves, the vessel
being fun of water and in IA sinking Condi
ton. A few moments after they parted the
Hubert was seen 10 give n terrible lurch and
go down with all on board. Those on the
steamer were unable TO render any assistance
or attempt rescue on account OF the hurrl-
cane and heavy sea running 1T the time. The
CHICAGO Times says of the disaster: The loss of
the schooner Mary Ann Hubert not ar 81. lg-
mace island, Lake Superior, is now con-
firmed fact. The Hubert was commanded and
owned by Capt. Martin OMalley, of Chicago
who had sailed her for many years Capt.
O'Malley was well known To yessclmen here
and in fact all around the lakes, as he has
been sailing upward of twenty-five years.
For several seasons past he has engaged
almost exclusively in the Lake superior trade,
sailing between Duluth Bayfield, and Can
adam ports, carrying lumber, supplies and
grain. Capt O'Malley was about 10 years OF
age and was unmarried He leaves II mother,
two sisters and three brothers, one of whom
yesterday received dispatch from Port
Arthur confirming the sad intelligence
of his brothers loss. The Hubert left
BAYFIELD, for Port Arthur last Thursday, in
tow Of the Canadian steamer Kincardine. She
was loaded with camp supplies, and had on
board, besides her regular crew OF Ave
men, fifteen laborcrs who were bound To
Canadian railway camps. The kincardinc
and her tow experienced rough weather. but
held together until of st. lgnace island, when
the officers of the steamer were absolutely
compelled to let 90 the Hubert. That cd
schooner, left TO her own resources, made
very poor Roadway, and before the KincaF
dine could get ont of sight Of her she went
down, carrying all hands. The IL Ilbert was
n very Old vessel, and had no rating on the
Inland Loyds register. She was under 80
tons burden.

Interview with Gen. PRYOR.

Gen. Roger A. Pryor, who was Sc mt to Eng
land to assist in the defense of O'Donnel,
was interviewed on his return to New York.
He did not see O'Donnell after his conviction,
but received message from him, in which
the condemned man expressed gratitude
to the Irish Americans for what they had
done for him. ''Iow did O'Donnell
bear himself during the trialY' Gen. Prior
was asked. Like n hero. He was intrepid,
decorous and dignified. He was perfectly
social throughout. Nobody ten feet away

could have been gotten instantly. O'Donnell
did not ask for "A respite. He craved no favor

INDIGNANT Eiuerty.

Hon. John L. Finerty, the fiery, untamed
Irishman, who represents the Bridgeport
district of Chicago IN Congress, declared in an
interview at Washington that the hanging of
O'Donncll was an insult to the American
people, that England had often tweaked our
National nose, but that we never took odense,
and that the stars and stripes, as protect
i've of adopted citizens, was ''haunt-
ing lie,' and was looked uron as a
sort of handkerchief by European nations.
AS a nation of shop-kcepers, he said, W. dare
not declare war, as that would hurt CONNER
cial interests and commercial interests must
be maintained, even at the cost of the Ma
tons honor. He desired an efficient navy,
and demanded American representation in

DRlVE-WECL PATENTS.
The Grievances Of Farmers the Subject
of Legislation by Congress.
Washington Telegram. !


The farmers of the country who have had
TO pay damages for infringement on the
drvc-well patents, and all who have ever had
well driven, will be interested in knowing
that no less than ten or twelve bills have al
ready been introduced in Congress to cover
their grievances If they have any, and
to guard them against loss in the future
from suits for damage. Representative
Morey, of Ohio, is one of the many
authors of these bills, and he says there IS
general determination among the members
from Michigan, Indiana, Ohio and Illinois,
and some other States whose farmers are in
terested largely, TO have a bill passed mt once
that will stop eXtortions from innocent pur-
chasers of the diamond-poins to driven wells.
The bill which he has introduced provides
that If any person buys patented article in
the open market from regular dealer, tor
his own use, 1t shall be sufficient defense, in
any suit brought by the patentee, to show
that it was bought in good faith, and the
patentee must look to the dealer for damages
for infringement.

SPEtEING of the origin of some
names in Oregon, the Oreg0HiGn says
of Grants Pass: "When Grant was
Lieutenant he was camped there with n
party of soldiers, and they got to play
ing euchro for 81 on the corner. The
game stood three to three. Grant
picked up the cards, and had the right
bower, ace and king. He concluded to
pass, thinking he could euchre his OPP
ponent, a burly miner. The result was
that he lost his dollar, and the place
was called Grants Pass.

MANITOBA authorities having aveIred
that in their dry atmosphere cold is not
more severely felt at 80 degrees below
zero than il is at zero in the humid air
Of Great Britain, and that building
operations are carried on all the winter
in Manitoba. a writer in the Kansas
CITY Times saws: The thermometer
at degrees below freezing point in
England causes far more discomfort
than when it is 80 degrees below in
Manitoba; and i'll fact, the lower the
thermometer goes the less is the cold
felt, owing to the extraordinary guam
tity of oxygen III the air. 1t is no I'M
common sight IN Manitoba. when the
Thermometer registers 30 or 60 degrees
below zero, to see settlers walking
about with bare feet and with shirt
sleeves rolled up, enjoying to the full
est extent the ozone in the atmosphere,
and instead of building operations be-
ing suspended in winter, it is a remarka-
BILE fact that as the cold increases build
ing work increases, and the mortar be-
comes SO plastic as TO render it work
of considerable difficulty for the brick
layers to spread it properly. In De
cember and January. when the days
blowing is finished, the settlers are
constantly in the habit of allowing the
fires TO 90 ont in the evening, while
they sit outside on the porches in the
warm winter moonlight and listen to
the delightful warbling of the nightin-
gale III the ueighboring woods.

ONE of the Austrian Archdukes
lately delivered a public lecture, an oc-
curence unprecedented i'll Austrian
history. The lecturer was the Arch
duke Johann Salvador, who addressed
an audience OF over | 300 army officers
and guests, including all the military
attaches at present in Vienna. The
subject was military discipline, and the
central IDEA of the speech was Il protest
against overdrill, which makes the sol
der an idiotic machine. On the con
traly, we are to educate and elevate his
moral faculties, abolishing the worship
of nero forms, which turns an army
into a collection of hypocrites, who
simulate obedience, and whose will is
broken until they are unfit for judg
ment in case of need. The lecture was
full OF sarcastic remarks on the Prus-
sian method of drill, which is still
maintained to please the Emperor Will
lam, alongside of rational education
which neutralizes it. The lecture,
which created 4 sensation, will he
