Collision in MD Ocean.

A cable received at New York says that
the Guion line steamer Arizona, from New
York, Sept. 3. for Liverpool, has arrived
at Queenstown, in a battered condition.
Certain passengers report that an early
hour on Sunday, Sept. o, while the vessel
was in fog, but steaming rapidly, an un-
known sailing vessel, believed to be a large
coasting steamer, struck stem on the Ari-
zOna's port quarter. The passengers, who
were in bed at the time of the accident
were awakened by the shock and noise of
the collision and all rushed on deck 1t
was seen that thirty feet of rails and a
lifeboat had been smashsd; that one deck
was damaged, and that several plates had
been bent Owing 10 these ominous evil
dences of a collision it was at first believed
that the consequences of the accident were
more serious than proved TO be the case.
The passengers were much alarmed, and
the belts were prepared. but the fears OF
all were soon allayed. The Arizona for a
long time searched in vain for the I'M
fortunate sailing vessel A part OF her
bowsprit was left on the Arizona's deck.
From wreckage seen it is feared she found
cred.

The Eorge Exploded.

Last Saturday afternoon the employees
of Wheelers ship yard in West Bay City
and people living in that vicinity heard a
loud report like the boom OF cannon. 1t
came from the shipyard machine shop. A
crowd soon rushed in that direction and
the first to enter the building discovered
the unconscious and bleeding bodies OF two
men on the floor. One was Herbert Du-
rand and the other Judson Freeman. The
former had two cuts about the thighs, one
being large enough TO admit a mans hand.
There were several other cuts and bruises.
Freeman was cut and bleeding about the
face and his eyes were injured so that the
sight may be lost. The men were con-
veyed on stretchers to their homes near by
and doctors summoned TO attend them.
Durand was so terribly injured that he
died. Hopes OF the recovery of Freeman
are entertained. Those who were on the
premises first said that 1t might have been
caused by gas. which had accumulated in the
forge taking fire, while an engineer stated
that some person may have slipped dyna-
mite boom into the forge to do its work Of
death and destruction. The forge was
blown TO pieces, and the interior of the
machine shop wrecked. Had tue usual
number OF men been at work in the shop
the number killed and injured would have
have been largely increased.

The Milford state bank, which has
closed its doors. had heavy deposits, and
sdn0st every farmer aud business in that
vicinity is affected by the failure, Large
deposits In tho bank were made as late as
Tuesday afternoon. There are divers
vumors on the streets of crookedness by
officials. and the attorney general has been
there investigating. The liabilities are
estimated at $3.50, 900. The capital stock
Is $50, 900 aud among the heavy stock
holders are John Caster. A. @. Orvis and
ex-Goy. Begole. Bank Examiner Sher-
weed made an examination OF the bank
about three weeks ago He reported to
persons at this place that the bank was
q little close for currency, but perfectly
safe. Drafts that have been paid here
have not been dated for the last two
months. 1t is impossible to get anything
more definite until further investigation.
Lansing authorities deny that there is any
thing crooked in connection with the fail
ure of the baak.

The schooner City of San Diego has
reached San Francisco with 600 sealskins
from Cooper Island, on the Russian side of
Behring sea, where it fell in with eight
other schooners and together raided the
island. catching and skinning seals. Over
40 boats landed from the schooners and
got of safely. They went ashore again in
company with 25 boats from other schoon-
ers and again started raiding A thick
fog covered their operations, when vollcy
Of 40 rife shots rang out above them and
all made for the boats, leaving hundreds
Of dead seals on the beach. Eight boats
were struck, A black hunter named Tai
bot, from the schooner Webster, jumped
from the bow in fright and was drowned.
Hunter Vairn, from the Annie. was shot
dead before he left the beach. All the
boats got aboard the schooner safely and
lay out five miles from shore. Later the
same evening Russian warship made for
them and Capt. Mclean, Of the Hamilton
Lewis, to give the other schooners time to
get away, ran straight for and lodged the
vessel. II was two hours before the Rus
slams got him and by that time the other
vessels had got away. The Hamilton
Lewis was lowed to the island. All the
hunters on the San Diego express grave
fears as to the probable fate OF the crew,
rs they say that several shots were fired
at the Russians in tho skir-
mish this morning, and probably some SOL
diers were killed. The Alta reports that

California Convicts Complain.

The convicts in tho iute min at San Que
tin struck last week. Nearly 200 prison
ers threw down their tools and defied the
officers to make them work. Tho oonvicts
demanded that they be given more and bet
ter food more tobacco, and they wanted
less favoritsm shown. They also demand
ed that they be taken before the board
of prison directors, where they might state
their case The convicts made bold
stand but the guards were quickly sum
moned and every avenue OF escape was
covered, while armed men filled the doors
OF the iute mill, where the instruction
started. The convicts resumed work after
obtaining permission 10 appoint a'commit-
tee of five to appear before the prison di-
rectors. After listening TO the complaints
from the committee. the prison directors
informed the men that the food was good
enough, and the next time there was an
outbreak il would be punished by solitary
confinement. This is the second strike at
the prison within week, the convicts
having stopped work three days before to
to enforce their demand for better food.

The folio wing advices by cable are from
London. A detachment of blue-jackets
and marines from British ironcad, ac-
companied by battery of light field pieces
and several Calling guns, was landed
Sunday morning at Sigr, on the Island of
Mitylene, formally occupying that place in
the name OF the Queen OF England. There
is a good harbor at Sigri and it is suppos-
ed that the British naval officers at Nifty
lene intend TO fortify the island Sigri is
on the coast of Mitylene and is about sixty
miles from the north OF the Dardanelles.
Late Monday evening another and still
more startling dispatch was received at
London by telegraph from Athens. 1t is
that the Greek consuls at Mitylene and
Smyrna have wired the Greek government
that 10 British men-of-war landed troops
and guns at Sigri on Friday and that they
have already strongly fortified that place.
Lord Salisbury's chief private secretary
has returned unexpectedly 10 London and
is busy at the foreign Office.
The London st. James Gazette Monday
says that the startling news concerning
the Island of Mitylene obviously possesses
political significance of the first import
ance. Continuing, the same paper adds
that the Island of Mitylene has position
of considerable strategic Importance.

Gums Operated by Gas.

Onlcers and soldiers at the Fort Sheri-
dan range, Chicago, recently witnessed
the testing of an automatic repeating
rifle that bids fair to revolutionize both
naval and land warfare. The gun is the
invention of DR.. II. A. Pitcher, of Niells-
vile. Wis, and patents have been secured
in this country and in all tho leading
countries of Europe. The rife becomes
automatic by the utilization of the gas
produced by the combustion of the first
cartridge fired. The gas escapes into a
close chamber and acts on a piston that is
set against spiral spring, the recoil Of
which propels the piston back against a
rod that sets the mechanism OF the gun in
motion, removes the empty cartridge,
replaces it with loaded one and cocks
the gun. This is done with such rapidly
that If one presses against the trigger the
gun VIII discharge in two seconds the nine
cartridges that are required to fill its
magazine.

he had been privately executed by BAHAMA

before the city surrendered to the congress

Edwards, as he is one of the ablest fnan-

The weather and the Crops.

The reports indicate that the weather
conditions of the past week have been too
cool for the rapid development of corn, and
chat ten days will be required yet TO
place the entire crop out of danger. From
special reports made by the observers, corn
will need ten days TO be free from frost,
and that corn cutting has begun on many
pieces of early corn and that cutting will
be general next week. Some late pieces
viii not be ready before the 22nd to cut.
Wheat seeding is progressing steadily. and
a large portion of the seeding is finished.
In Branch and st. JOSEPH counties it has
been too dry for good seeding, and more
rain ia this section would be beneficial.
