AN incorporated company has quite
lately been organized in this city with a
capital stock of $4,000, with G. NJ. Sim
mons as President; James Cavanagh as vice
president, and VIM. w. Strong as Secre-
tary. It will be known as the Kenosha
Manufacturing Company, and will build on
land just south of the Scotford Manufacture
Il ing plant and nearly west Of the Brass
foundry. They will put up two story
building, 150x28 feet, and another one story
building 30x6l feet. The stock has all been
taken and the company will break ground
at an early day. They will manufacture
brass utensils and novelties.
Early Thursday afternoon the Forrest,
loaded with lumber and bound for Chicago,
ran in to escape from the gale. Later on
the Lumberman, of Kewaunee heavily la
den with lumber, staggered through the
chop-sea at the entrance to the harbor. Ten
minutes later the Jason Parker, loaded with
cord wood and bound for Chicago forged
through the breakers. At 4:2O p NJ, the
Mediator, formerly owned by the late J ohm
Skeele, well known to the business men of
Kenosha, was seen about two miles north
east of the pier with her colors flying, but
the waves were running dangerously high
and the tug men were not looking for either
long or short hauls." A few minutes Ia
ter the Mediator came about and 'sheeledo it
for Racine as fast as her sea-legs could car
ry Ter. She made the Racine port at 5
o'clock p. M, and run into the pier s'head
on" after getting safely into the harbor.
Rev. Lucius 0. Lee, formerly of Keno
sha, blu! now missionary in Asiatic Tur-
key, writes to his father from the Isle OF
Somers under date Of Oct. I'd, as follows:
"Our Steamer, the Messageries, suddenly
ran upon rock, and also between two 9TH
ers at 2 o'clock on the night of Sept. Both,
and the bow was SO near solid precipice
OF rock that we could almost step on shore.
The night was not dark and it was most
stupendous blunder. If there had been any
sea, we should have been broken up at
once, as large hole was torn in the side.
After 81 hours we were taken off by Tar
kish man-of-war, and will be obliged to re-
turn to Symrna. It was most astonishing
deliveran ce from an awful wreck. The en-
gines were reversed just in time to prevent
an awful crash. There were of our party
two missionaries and four members Of the
Babylon exploring expedition" Mr.. Lee
had been on an excursion of two and half
months across Asia Minor in zig-zag
course to Trebezend, near the eastern point
Of the Black Sea; thence by Steamer to
Constantinople, and was then on his return
to his home at Marash, Turkey in Asia.
Last Wednesday small boat, manned
by Daniel Sullivan and James Kline, both
hailing from Racine, put into this port.
The boat they were sailing was formerly
owned by Ernst and T. Frank, who were
for many years engaged in the fish business
in this city, and was then known as "The
Great Eastern" and by reason of age and
long service was totally unfit to battle with
the gale that swept over the lake last
Thursday. Sullivan and Kline left here
about nine o'clock Thursday morning, and
while about half way between here and Ra-
cine, the boat waterlogged and capsized.
The new surfb that was sent here by
the government last fall for the use of the
Saving crew was quickly manned by
Capt. Ben Cameron and six men. They
pulled out through the harbor and into the
white boiling surf that reared and surged
over the north pier in white clouds of
spray, out into the terrific gale and driving
sleet on their errand Of mercy. The storm
Of wind and sleet rapidly increased and long
before the crew reached the capsized craft
the unfortunate men were washed from their
frail support and engulfed by the waves.
Capt. Cameron says that the surf boat be-
haved splendidly and that the gale was one
of the severest he ever encountered during
his thirty years experience on the lakes.
As soon as he found that nothing could be {
