report OF the Investigating Committee OF
the Northwest Bnptists.
Az saturdays session Of the Northwes,
Association Of Colorcd Baptists, the most
important business transacted was the
presentation Of the report Of .hc invcsti.
eating committee. The following is The
report;
our committee on Investigation beg
,eaVe to make the following report; We
nave tried 10 sift the matter as far as nos
s,Dle IN the protest Of the Mount Giiead
church against Mount Pisgah Baptist
- Ihey charge that the Mount Pisgah
was organized from excluded members of
mount Gilead church. 2. That the Mount
flsgah church has made breach of bnsi-
ness contract
TO the first, we find by the church
BOOK that those members have becn dls.
missed by letters In good standing.
Ihe Mount Gilead church claims
that those members were excluded for
organizing without letters, but admits
that those members did ask for letters.
That they granted three letters upon
condition that the Mount Pisgah church
pay Sl0O, one-half Of a debt that the Mount
Glead church owed.
"Fhat If they would pay this $3.50
they would give them Il deed to the church
property. The Mount Gilead church
charges that the Mount Pisgah has
broken their agreement. But this agree
mcnt or contract we, your committee, do
not find on the books of the Joint confer
ence. But the books do show that they
have been dismissed by letters in good
standing.
1.-THE committee finds that the
main Issue charged i'm the
protest Is that Mount pisgah holds their
property Illegally, refuses 10 rent or pay.
eve find that there rs a counter claim
to the property, and the Mount Pisgah
claims that is the reason why they do
not buy, because they believe that Mount
Gilead cannot give them clear deed, but
claim that II they find that the Mount
Gilead can give them a clear deed they
viii proceed to buy the property from
them.
"As it Is not the province of this asso.
| citation to decide such, we recommend
that this business be left TO these churches
to settle, as IL is one of civil law and moi
of doctrine Signed

Terrible Experience of Seventeen Men
Who Sought TO Land from an Ice.
Locked Steamer.

GRAND HAVEN, MICH, February 19-Full
particulars were received here this morning re-
garding the terrible experience of the crew Of
the ice-locked steamer Michigan. On Monday
morning, February 9Th, the Michigan, with
capt frlndlyille and twenty-nine men on
board, left this rort in search of the distressed
Michigan encountered a gale and was hemmed
in by heavy ice. She drifted with the ice to
the southwark, experiencing many dam
miles of land. She finally got in compact ice
many feet thick, toward the head of the lake
but on account of the drifting and turning they
could not tell their exact whereabouts. Sunday
last 1t was decided that, owing to short
provisions half Of the crew would have
but week longer. Monday was very stormy
tuesday morning, from the crosS-treeS, a rim of
land was sighted TO the eastward. Thirteen men
were chosen 10 remain and seventeen of the
most hardy 10 make the land. The mercury was
then ten degrees below. At seven o'clock Jos.
Russell, first mate; David Martin Steward: w
Z: Kenny, clerk, and fourteen OF the crew start
ed with Ii days rations, axes, pike poles. blan-
kets, etc, expecting that they might have TO be
miles away. When about twelve miles off the
boat Clerk Kenny broke through the ice,
wetting his right leg to the knee. They went on
about SIX miles, when they found kenny's leg
frozen. All Were badly exhausted, as The ice
was very rough and blocked into nearly inn
passahle ridges many feet high and miles wide.
Each man Went for himself, knowing that life
depended on his own eXertions except Russell
and Martin, who helped Kenny. When OF
land four miles Kenny could not stand, and
dragged himself along ON his hands aud knees
for two miles, when he WAS completely eN-
hausted. and so frozen that he could not move
and urged the others to leave him and save
themselves. Some OF the party had by this
Time oeloek-reaehed the shore and found
alarmed the neighborhood, and The
farmers went out and carried the
brave, but insensible Kenny TO the
beach. The land there rises 100 feet almost
straight. All hands worked like heroes ts
throw oft the insensthility creeping on them,
and climb the steep. Heaving lines were placed
on Kenny. and he was drawn up by those
above, and carried To dwelling. The men
were apportioned around among the farmers
who willingly cared for them. Kenny recov-
cred at ten, and everything was done for
him that was possible. All the men were able
to take care OF themselves except kenny The
surgeons have dressed his limb, and il is hoped
he viii soon be all right. The Michigan is now in
no danger. Since SO many of the crew have left.
the provisions will last the rest thirty DAYS
