COLLISION AT SEA.
A Schooner Run Down in a Fog
and Two Men Lost.

A Schooner Run Down in a Fog
and Two Men Lost.
NoRBoLK, Va, March 2S.-The Old
Dominion steamship Wyaneke, from
New York, arrived here tonight five
hours late, having been in collision off
Delaware eapes with the schooner Ruth
Darling this morning. At the time Of
the collision a dense fog prevailed,
which was so thick that the man in the
sehceaer'S bows says he could not see
ahead more than half the vessels
length. When the Wyan0ke struck the
schooner her sharp bows cut clear
through her and she sank in ten min
uteS afterwards. As the Wyanoke
struck the schooner Arthur Ashton,
a seaman, jumped from the rigging
and caught her anchor chains and
thus saved himself. Capt. Lowell, who
was at the Schooner's wheel at the time
of the disaster. and Seaman Charles
Harrison were lost. Chief Mate Brad
ford Browne was iuSenSible when res
cued from the paddle wheel of the ship,
which he had caught hold of when it
passed over him. He had his nose and
right shoulder broken and there was a
terrible cash over his forehead. On the
arrival of the ship here he was sent to
st. Vincent's hospital, where he now
lies in preearious condition. Ambrose
Harrison, Frank Treptoe and another
seaman were saved by means of ropes
thrown from the steamer.

The senators who voted this year to

and whose names correspond with the
] twenty-eight given above were: Ander-
son, Bowen, Buchanan, Child, Clough.

By curious ones the above groups of
names have been traced through other
important corporation bills to that fine
point that developes the assertion that
the corporation average of the senate IS
about thirty votes, leaving twenty-seven
who may reasonably be expected to vote
for popular measures rather than cor
porate interests. And ON this process
of reasoning and investigation is based
the strong assertion that the senate will
not pass the meat inspection bill. be-
cause of Its conservative tendency to-
ward measures aimed at trusts and in
general, corporations.

then appeared and the bill was reported.
The Knife Falls TO I'M bill has for its
principal point provision that logs
destined for Duluth and other points
below Knife Falls shall not be detained
but shall be allowed to pass down down
at once while the water is high enough
to run them down the river. 70 accom-
piiSh this, provisions are made for the
estimates of the logs on the bank up
river by the surveyor general, so that
there may be no detention to scale
them at Knife Falls. The owners are
to pay on that estimate 5 cents per
thousand for the work of separation.
At present. all the logs that come down
to Knife Falls are allowed to jam and
then sorted out and scaled before the
Duluth logs are turned into the river,
and experience has proved that by the
time this is done the water has fallen
so that the logs will not go down the
river till the following year. As
result the effort to cut logs for down.
river points les been abandoned for
several years. No logs can BE SSeid to
any one but the Knife Falls mills, aud
stumpage is worth a dollar thousand
less On all those st. Louis river lands
than on any other similar lands in the
state.
AS the state ScHOO1 fund OWLS Ont-
sixteenth of all these lands, it is inter-
ested to the extent of fully half a
million dollars in having this bill
passed. OF course Duluth is interested,
as there will be many new mills built
to cut lumber there, and the country
also at large will have larger supply
| of lumber. The trouble with the pres
ent law is that it allows the Knife Falls
Boom company to use their discretion
as to how much they may delay the
| logs to such an extent thatit practicalln
| results i n delay till the water has falley
| and they cannot be run down the rivers
| 1t is claimed that some change in the
| booms and sorting works Will enable
| the boom company to let the logs
tn rough without detention, but they
cannot be obliged to make those change
| under the present law.

And ID. ID. Merrill; Also the House
Committee on Education.


Committee on Education.
D. D. Merrill. the contractor for state
text books, appears to have got himself
into a box with the committee On edu-
cation of the house. House File 81, a
bill to appoint state commission in the
matter of state text books, and requir-
ing it to let the contracts for these books
to the lowest bidder was before the
committee on education. Mr.. Merrill
appeared before the committee, stated
that his contract with the state ran for
four years longer. and that if SAL was
passed he would force the state into a
law suit which would cost it large
sum of money. House File S41 was
consequently reported to the house
fol indefinite postponement. Last
evening Mr.. Heidemann rose
and said to the house
that 81 had been indefinitely postponed
through Misrepresentation to the COM
missioners on education. The house at
once received the bill and put it On gen.
eral orders. Mr.. Heidemann also
showed to the GLOBE that Mr.. MerrilPs
contract with the state had expired in
1SS6-it having been for fifteen years
from 1878. 1t appears from the state
auditors report that from August 4,
1887, to July 81, 1888, the state paid to
d. d. Merrill S24,oS2.72. under his con-
tract OF about 5000 month. Also

THE NEWS FhoM DULUTH.
Lease of a 1heater---The New
Union Depot Will Soon Be Under
Way,


Special to the Globe
DULUTH, March 2S.-The trustees of
the new Masonic temple, on which
work has just begun, to-day leased to
DR.. Haycoek the theater portion of the
building. The lease begins Sept. 1 and
extends over period of years.
DR.. Haycock is the gentleman who had
leased the Grand opera house before
1t was burned. 1t will be a big job to
complete the theater by Sept. 1.
At to-night's special meeting of the
council. Vice President Dudley, of the
Duluth road, was present and stated
just what the railroads would do regard
ing the proposed union depot. The
depot is to cost $4,000. Passen-
gers about to take trains will
enter from Fifth avenue at
the upper end of the building, while
those who are coming from trains will
be let out by gate from the train shed

willing to pay for substantial iron
yladuct over the tracks on level with
Michigan street and extending from the
south line of Michigan to the north Inc
of Railroad street The council
must maintain it, however. and build
approaches. The council voted to re-
quest the city engineer to draw plans
Tor the bridge and approaches and to
confer with the engineers of the roads.

1T SMELLS 10 HEAVEN.
A Jersey Graveyard Which Seems
to Have SOured

CAMDEN, n. j., March 2S.-The
special committee of the Camden board
OF health appointed to investigate the
condition of Buffers burial ground for
coiored people, in the rear of the
Evergreen cemetery, have made an Off
ciai Investigation. assisted by several
city officials. The inquiry developed
the fact that the state sanitary and
burial laws had been grossly violated,
and that serious results might follow
during the coming hot weather and an
epidemic of death-dealing disease might
result from the surface interments.
Thirty-fve tests were made as to what
depth bodies had been inferred.
The iron struck collins eighteen
inches below the surface, and
in several cases the bodies were only
one foot deep. 1t was also said by the
commission that when they dug up sew
eral graves bones were turned up and
the feet of persons were plainly visible.
Altogether, it is said, few bodies are
buried as deep as three feet, and the
stencil of the decomposing flesh makes
the place a nuisance and breeds disease.
Dempsey Butler, the owner of the
ground, is said to be worth $4,000 and
is a nlagnate among the colored people.
