Fight with Strikers.

EscANABA, Mich. May 17.-Yesterday
1870 union ore trimmers from this town
went to North Escanaba and attacked
the non-union men, who were trimming
vessel at that place, with firearms.
A lively skirmish ensued and bullets
from both sides flew thick and fast for
a few minutes. Clark Williams, a non
unionist, was shot in the leg and back
and may die. Charles Hamilton was
also hit by bullet, but the wound
will probably not prove fatal. After
these men were shot the mob of union
men fled. No arrests have been made.

tinuance of very unfavorable weather
throughout large part Of the west begins
to cause apprehensions regarding the crops
OF the year. In all other respects the stu
alton appears satisfactory and at most
points The prospects for trade are con-
sidered more hopeful, so that a short period
of good weather would speedily change the
temper OF bus mess. The money markets
are everywhere easy with visible Improve
ment in the demand at few points. Bad
weather, long continued heavy rains, Inn
passable roads and delay In plowing
and seeding are named as retard-
ing trade in dispatches. The stock
market has been dull during the
week and the range OF prices slightly lower.
The spriug trade in dress goods still holds
on with large demand for immediate dis
tribution and the trade in flannels was
never better. The business failures dur
inc the last seven days number 175 as COM
pared with 200 for the corresponding week

TRAVELS UNDER WATER
SucCEssF TRIP OF OETROIT's
SUBMARINE BOAT.
Under Water for over Two Hours
without lDcOnvenIencing the
Passengers In the Least.

A severe test was made with Geo.
G. Bakers new submarine boat in the
Detroit river. The test was impromptu
andonly those who happened in the
neighborhood witnessed the novel ex.
hibition. Mr.. Baker, the inventor of the
boat. and Electrician Goddard went
inside the craft and started for the
middle of the river and spent two
hours in practical tests going down
and up, forward and back and around.
Neither of the gentlemen on boar d
had knowledge OF the river and were
withouta compass thus making it neces-
sary to come to the surface frequently
to obtain their bearings. The steamer
Albany and tug Winslow stopped
while passing and witnes ed the ex-
hibition, the crews cheering enthus
iastically at each temperance of the
boat.
After two hours the boat was re-
turned to its boathouse and on open
ing the man hole the inside air was
found to be perfectly pure and fresh,
and the passengers felt not the slight
est inconvenience. Mr.. Baker was
well satisfied with the experiment and
will give public exhibition with his
novel craft in short time.
