LORAIN.

There has been quite an exciting time
for a week among the Captains and the
hands on the dock. A few nights ago the
scow Conklin of Sandusky bound for Ceve-
land with limestone, went ashore by the
east pier. The wind being fair, no good
reason was given for the disaster, only ii
being foggy they put in here till morning.
She came along all right until near the
piers. As they could not distinguish any
thing but the lighthouse, thought they
were crowding the west pier close when
the man forward shouted, "put her hard
over or she would strike the west pier"
No sooner done than they crashed against
the east pier. The big anchor was dropped
and the boat swung around on the east
side into shallow water, where she lay on
the bottom until she went to pieces in the
squall Monday night Several attempts
were made to pump her out, and at one
time she was nearly afloat, but the pipes
filed with bed quilts in the forecastle, and
during the delay she filed again. Two
valuable steam pumps were abroad when
she went to pieces and are now in the bot
tom of the lake. She was valued at about
81 800; total loss, and no insurance.
The squaI last Monday evening was
severe one. A three mast vessel, Homer
II. Hines, of Vermillion, bound for Ashta-
bula with limestone, the gale blowing so
strong Capt. Stewart undertook to sail her
in here, struck the west pier, dropped the
anchor, which dragged and his boat went
ashore west of the lighthouse. Several of
our brave fellows hastily rigged themselves
and taking heavy yawl boat started out to
save the wrecked mariners" The waves
rolled mountain high" but they never fall
tered. Arriving at the wreck they took
off the Captain and his wife and landed
them safely, though drenched to the skin.
The rest of the crew remained on board till
morning. She was pumped out, and last
Friday was towed up the river, and as
they were passing through the bridge she
sunk. An attempt has been made to raise
her, but without success. The Hines is
valued at 5000, and is owned by Mr.. Jos.
Gilchrist, of Vermillion and Capt Stewart
Miss Della GAVIN spent lost Sabbath at
home, from Oberlin, where she is attend

Electric lights have been placed on the

pleasant for the hands that have to work
nights.

Decoration Day.

Decoration Day will be observed in Wei
lington on Wednesday, May 30th, with ap-
propriate exercises under the direction of
Hamlin Post, G. A. r. Suitable commit
tees have been appointed, and Hon. s. A.
Wildman, of Norwalk, will deliver the ora
ton.
Although the local Post Of the G. A. r.
will, in obedience to orders from head
quarters and in accordance with the now
prevailing custom, take the lead in the
ceremonies of the day, it is hoped and ex-
pected that the citizens of Wellington
and vicinity will generally and heartily CO
operate with them in this memorial service.
There will be no session of the public
schools, and it is earnestly requested that
all places of business be closed from two
to five o'clock
All ex-members of army or navy who
may be in Wellington on that day are cor
daily invited to join Hamlin Post in the
exercises Of the day.
Donations of flowers are solicited, and
may be delivered to Floral Committee at
Town Hall as early as possible Wednesday
forenoon. The following ladies and gen.
tlemen constitute the Floral Committee
Mr. and Mrs. VIM. Jordan, Mr.. and Mrs.
NJ. W. Lang, Mr. and Mrs. Il. H. Hall, Mrs.
s. E. Wilcox, Mrs. F. W. Bennett, Mrs. j.

The procession will form on the Public
Square promptly at 2 p. NJ. and take up
the line of march TO the old cemetery, and
thence to the new, in the following order

On arrival at the new cemetery the follow
ing order of exercises viii be observed:

G. A. R. and comrades.
Salute of Honor.
Prayer by Chaplain Of Hamlin Post.
Quartette.
Address by Hon. S. A. wndman.
Quartette.
Remarks and Benediction by Rev. W. G. Ward.
The firing of the salute of honor will take
place from the brow of the hill in the east
ern part of the cemetery, to avoid the dan.
ger of frightening horses, but it is suggested
that all teams be carefully in hand during
this portion of the exercises. The conclud.
ing portion of the services will be held in
the vicinity of the vault.
Friends who are able to contribute
flowers will please bear in mind that the
lateness OF the spring renders it unusually
difficult to procure an adequate supply, and
that the Floral Committee rely upon their
generosity.
In conclusion, the Committee of Arrange.
ments venture to express the hope that the
citizens of Wellington and vicinity will
generally lay aside business on the after.
noon of Decoration Day, and by their pres
ence cooperate in rendering fitting tri.
butte to the memory of our comrades, who
freely gave their services and their lives to
perpetuate the free institutions we enjoy

any other room. I will, after this
date, close out my stock of Cloths,
Clothing, Hats, Caps and Gentle

than actual cost of the unmanu-
factured material.
The goods must and will be sold
between this and July 9TH, and if
the people of Wellington, town

as buying goods at wholesale and
less, they have only to call at my
store and purchase at lower prices
than was ever known.
This is not a bankrupt sale, but
the prices are as low. Cloths will
be made up to order on the same
terms by one of the best tailors in

vinced.
