CAUGHT IN AN ICE FLoE.
Narrow Escape of Montreal Steam
err from Being Ground to Pieces.

The Beaver Line steamship Lake Nepigon
plying between Montreal and Liverpool,
and which formerly ran winters from Port
land-with large number of emigrants,
arrived at Montreal Wednesday. 10 days
from Liverpool Captain Hartman tells
thrilling story of his experience. Ship lett
Liverpool April 18th and met strong gales,
accompanied by snow, until latitude 50' ~
north, longitude $50 20 west, was reached,
when two gigantic icebergs were encount-
cred In dense fog, and collision was mar
rowly avoided. An April II the ship en-
countered field of packed ice off Cape Ray,
n. f., and for six days, without chance OF
escape, was at the mercy of wind and wave,
being surrounded on all sides by bergs and
ice foes. April 81 the Nepigon had a mar
row escape from going to the bottom with
all on board Just as darkness shut down
the ice about the ship parted and narrow
channel was seen. The engines were start
ed in an effort to reach open water, but
scarcely had the ship proceeded 10 cable
lengths when a huge hummock blocked pro-
gress. Then the pack again closed and the
greatest danger Of the voyage was encount-
cred. Slowly but surely the ice jammed
against the sides Of the big ship and ice
cake piled upon cake until the Nepigon was
almost buried. AS the great vessel groaned
and strained under the terrible pressure
against her sides, all ON board recognized the
danger. Fortunately the ice began to shove
under the ship, but as the Nepigon was lift
ed from the water she began to careen and
was in imminent danger of capsizing, and
almost panic ensued among the emigrants,
but fortunately at the critical moment the
Jam ceased and the Nepigon was once more
in her natural element. On the 22d the ship
was again nipped, but the afternoon of tn,
same day the sealing steamer Sampson came
in sight and offered assistance. So closel,
was the ice packed around the NepigeoI
that Captain Bartly Of the sealer and on,
of his officers walked over the ice to the ott Q
ship and advised Captain Hartman t,
make away to the south If he wanted to say,
his ship, as the gulf was simply continen
OF ice. The Sampson. specially built for tn,
ice, then cut passage for the Nepigon. Tn,
ship again encountered ice on the oath, bn
came through it and reached Montreal il
safety after what Capt Hartman claims a
his worst experience at sea.

Natural Gas Goes Up.

Metres were put in by the natural ga.
company to cave waste and 80 that a
consumer should pay. for the gas con-
sumed and no more. For his share oil
this advantage the consumer, to start
with, paid five dollars for setting the
metre.
Now the price Of natural gas is ad-
vanced fifty per cent. The consumer
who has paid two dollars q month will
pay three. The charge is up to the full
limit OF the law. When that limit wss
fixed the people OF Wheeling were
assured that it never would ba e1acted.
This enormous increase. has not been
explained.
In Pittsburgh an advance was e1-
planned by the shortage OF gas. which
the Pittsburgh newspapers say does not
exist. The Commercial Gazette tells Of q
well Of 700 pounds rock pressure that has
been shut in for year.
The price has been advanced because
the company thinks consumers will pay
it, and probably the company is not
mistaken.
