has ordered the abandonment of several
posts

VICTIMS OF A WRECK,

Canadian Schooner Caught in a Storm

LOst-Driven Ashore in American Waters
Other Vessels Fear to Assist Her Be-
cause of the Wreckins Laws
KINGSTON Ont, May 3O-The worst dis
ster that has occurred on Lake Ontario in
many years took place Tuesday. The
steam barge D. D. Calvin, of Kingston. with
a tow Of three schooners with timber from
St. 1gnace, was struck by Il gale off Long
Point. The tow line parted and the Norway,
Valencia and Bavaria were III the trough
of the see. The two former managed
to come to anchor after being water
logged, and were picked up by the Calvin
and Armenia and brought here. The crews
were perched on cabin tops for twenty
four hours without food and with the
waves washing over them, and suffered
Terribly. The Bavaria went ashore on
Calico Island, sixty miles from here, and
the crew were all lost They were:
Captain John Marshall First Mate Felix
Campau, Second Mate John Smell and Sea.
man William Mccarthy, all Of Garden Island ::
Archie Borley and Elias Borley, of ST. PauIs
Bay: Sandy Berry, of Pittsburgh, and Bella
Hartman, cook. Marshall leaves wife and
three children, Campau wife aud SIX chill
dren. and Smell a widowed mother:
The present furnishes an instance in
which reciprocity in wrecking would have
been great advantage to a Canadian.
The Bavaria is ashore on Gallop Island,
which is in American water. The
Armenia, one of the Calvin's boats, was
alongside of her during the morning. and
could have begun the rescue but for the
wrecking laws Permission was given
Wednesday night by the American Govern
ment for the Calvin Company's steamer
Armenia to go to the relief OF the Bavaria
and she is now on her way there

Give Up Their valuab:es, Amounting 70
Gootlly Sum.
ELLIS JUNCTION, Wis, May 3O-A bold
roDDer held up the passengers on the MIL
Waukee Northern night passenger train
IN nne western style Wednesday night
AS the train pulled out Of Beaver, q small
station nifty miles south of Iron Mountain.
man about hve feet eight inches tall, dressed
like lumberman and wearing a full
dark beard, entered the ladies' car. His
entrance did not create any excitement
but when he reached the rear end of the
coach he pulled out two revolvers and
quickly requested the brakeman to hand
over his cash That individual, not having
any about him, made for the nearest seat
but the robber told him to get up and
march ahead of him
E. G. Allen, OF Marinette, was the first
passenger reached by the robber, and Mr.
Allen haI led over $l75 and fine gold
watch and chain. travelling man who sat
in the next seat handed out a roll
Of bills said to have contained
$500 James Hughes, of Iron River, had
only 500 and silver watch, which the
highwayman appropriated As each pas
senger paid the tax he was made to march
ahead of the fellow until all the coaches
had been gone through.
When the male passengers were huddIed
in the forward end of the smoking car like
q lot of sheep he showed his way through
and backed out of the door and jumped of
the train and escaped just as the train was
pulling into the station.
Conductor Ellison was in charge of the
train, and at the first alarm made for the
baggage-car and barred the door Once
safe within he did not show up again till he
was informed that the robber had left the
train.
There were several lady passengers on
the train, but this follower Of Jesse James,
with true gallantry, did not modest them.
A large crowd OF men under the leader
ship Of Deputy Sheriff Schlick, of Marinette
County, have gone down the track to hunt
the fellow, but the chances of capturing
him are slight owing to the country here
abouts being heavily covered with timber
The robber is supposed to be the same
one who has been holding up the mail
stages in Oconto County, the county ad-
Joining this. The people of this little ham,
Let are very much excited over the robbery,
and each family expects to receive a call
from him before the dawn of day.
