THE STATE AT LARGE.
DOWN To DEATH.
The Algomah Strikes Hidden Reef.

The Canada Pacific railway co pany's
steamer Algoma which left Owen Sound
ON Thursday, the 5th went ashore on Isle Roy
al In Lake Superior at 4 o'clock the following
Saturday morning during a binding snow
storm. About eight passengers and twenty
five II the crew are supposed to be lost. Among
those saved thus far are Capt John Moore,
lrst mate Jos. Hastings and second mate
Richard Simpson, Henry Lewis, Waterman;
John McNab, Waterman; fireman ii. Mccall
ger; deck hands, r. stephen, jane Bolton
and Daniel Ian ron walters, John Mclean.
George Mccall and John Mckenzie, and
among the passengers w. j. Hull and w. b.
Macarthur
The Algoma was coming into Port Arthur
when the wreck occurred. She left Owen
Sound Thursday the 9Th. The first known OF
the disaster was when the steamer Athabasca
of the same line arrived at Port Arthur late on
the evening OF tn 9th, with the crew OF the
Inflated Algoma, consisting OF thirteen and
two OF the passengers who were the only ones
saved The Athabaska, which left Owen
Sound two DAYS after the Algoma came upon
the wreck at Isle Royal, and found the crew
and two passengers In perishiog condition
on the island. The wreck had been dashed
against the rocks and was finally heated
against the shore Of the island. The crew and
two of the passengers saved themselves by
taking to the lie-boat, battling with the
wave until the shore was reached. The boat
was washed over several times by the waves,
Dut rlgnteu again Whlc inc men ciunR 10 Tue
sides. They succeeded In reaching the land
almost dead from exposure and exhaustion.
The storm continued to rage furiously ali
night long. The rescued men remained on
the beach watching the wreck beat against
the rock bound island and seeing the dead
bodies dashed against the shores. The Atha-
baska came along about noon, and as
the channel Is narrow could not avoid seeing
the wreck and the distress of those on the
island. A boat was sent ashore and brought
the rescued to the Athabaska, which set sail
for Port Arthur where she arrived about7 In
the evening.
The Algoma was a thoroughly built and
splendidly equipped Clyde steel steamer light
ed by electricity. The gross tonnage is 1850,
length $50 feet breadth 3S feet. 1t was COM
plete In every detail. The furnishing was
as luxurious as the finest ocean steamers. The
vessel cost $4,000 and is understood to have
been insured for S30O,000. Ii is one of three
steamers. Albert, Athabaska and Algoma,
purchased two years ago by the Canadian
Pacific railroad for traffic since which time 1t
las been plying steadily between Owen Sound
and Port Arthur, doug big business. The
steamers gave the greatest satisfaction.

ten years or twenty-six and q quarter bushels
per acre The highest rate Of yield is tsirty-
six and half bushels in Neb aska and ONO.
The three corn growing states which produce
four-tenths OF the entire crop, Illinois, iowa
and Missouri, each average several bushels
per acre less than In the census year

averages 81; Massachusetts,, Connecticut

Lieber's Report

Col Liebcr, acting Judge advocate general
OF the army has submitted his annual report to
Secretary Endicott. The number OF trials by
general courtmartial was 2.33l, an increase
Of 81 over the previous year. There were ga
convictions for desertion and li,I6l trials by
Carr son and regimental court-mrtiai, or 10
more than the previous year. The report
urges a revision OF the articles OF war. The
present requirement that the first l27 articles
be regularly read aloud To the troops should be
amended as there are only "a articles. The
articles not included Ia the "a WHICH relate to
the penal code should he divided into two
classes, one OF which has nothing TO do with the
administration OF military justice and should
be eliminated. The other refers TO courts
martial. The report condemns the present
system under which the functions OF prose-
cutor, recorder and legal adviser ut courts
martial are combined into the Judge advocate.
The judge advocate, IL acting as prosecutor,
should be excluded from secret sessions. Ii
calls attention TO abuses I'm the methods OF
taking dispositions, to the necessity OF soldiers
discharged from the army, and for action to
settle disputed points In reference 10 deser-
ton and contempt of court. The defects In
the army regulations are regarded as justify
ing the appointment Of a board for their
revision.

A Southern Cyclone.

One OF the most terrific and destructive
storms ever known In Alabama passed over
the section OF country just north of Selma on
the 9th inst, washing away bridges railroad
beds, CROWN crops and leyeling forests and
houses for miles A cyclone, accompanied by
torrents of rain and appalling electric dis
charges, started on Cahaba river, passed
through Dallas, Perry and Bibb counties, leav-
ing a dead waste of forests, plantations,
houses and villas. Exploring relief parties
say the track Of the cyclone was half-mile
wide. They went over forty miles picking up
dead and wounded. Thirteen persons have
been found killed outright and forty or fifty
dangerously wounded. A number OF persons
cannot be accounted for.
Bales OF cotton were blown from the gin
houses and bursted and scattered everywhere.
No two locks Of lint were left together. A
man driving with cotton to the city has been
lost. The cotton and wagon were carried a
quarter Of a mile and man and mules carried
OF and cannot be found. Growing crops, po-
tatoes, etc, were torn up from the ground.
Even trees were barked. The Ne
groes are frightened nearly to death
and hudd ed about together or squat alone I'M
clad In bushes and under fallen trees, stupe-
lied and speechless with fear and superstition,
unable To tell where any of their household Is.
The city is being canvass,d for money sub
scriptions to bury the dead and relieve the
wants OF the dead.
