been learned that ateX-CongressmanD David
H. Paige is in hiding. Paige was form
erly engaged in business at Akron, but
has of late been residing in New York
He has not been seen or heard from
since Monday night, and kilograms sent
to his business address remain unan-
swered. It's generally supposed that he
has decamped. An investigation shows
thnt only one Cleveland bank holds any
Paige paper but this is said to be amply
secured. A large amount of paper
with the name of John Huntington in
dorsed on it is held by various eastern
banks. This Endorsement the trustees
of Mr.. huntingdon who is now in Eu-
rope, have pronounced fraudulent, bas-
ing their announcement on cable
gram from Mr. Huntington to that eff
feet. 1t is supposed that Paige sailed
for Europe on the steamer Trave Tues
day morning. Paige has been in very
hard financial straits, owing to the city
of New York withholding S7O0, 900
which he claims was due him for work
on the new aqueduct.

In an hour of the time set for her de-

day afternoon. In less than fifteen
minutes she was "a complete mass of
flames, and almost within the half hour
her broken hull lay on the bottom of
the river, 200 feet from the spot where
che magnificent steamer had been
moored.
To describe the scene on the doomed
vessel with truth as to it's terrible
features would be an impossibility. The
boat had a passenger list of at least fifty
people. All were on board prepared to
start on their journey. 1t was to be
pleasure trip for most of them, and
many friends of the passengers were
aboard to bid them good-by.
So terribly sudden was the spread of
the flames that every person on the
steamer narrowly escaped death.
1t is remarkable that more fatalities

that five, and perhaps more, are among

one white man named Homan, who

which tell of an unknown lady in gray,
who leaped into the river and was
drowned Another awful story is told
by Wilson D. Hart, the second engineer,
alive. The loss of life can not be stated
with accuracy as yet.
Along with the steamer the big Gin

to the waters edge. Nearly thousand
tons of valuable freight was consumed
with the wharf-boat. The total loss
will reach $4,000. 1t is nearly COW

will be heavy. His steamer was insured
for $3.50 He built her in 1877, at u

built up trade for her such as no other
Ohio boat possesses. The loss of the re-
suits of years in the river freight and
passenger trade can not be estimated
and could not be insured against.
The big side-whccl steamer Fleetwood
also caught fire from the Golden Rule,
but the heroic efforts of her crew saved
her from destruction.
