WRECKS ON THE LAKES.

A Big Steamer and Two or Three
Schooners Lost With All Bands
CHICAGO, Nov. at is reported that q
large white steamer has founded near Man
itou Island, at the head of Lake Michigan,
and the missing vessel Is believed 30 be the
w. II. Gilcher. sister boat to the Western
Reserve. She passed the straits on the
afternoon of the big storm, bound for Mil
waukee. Reports from Milwaukee do not
say that she arrived there. Some weeks
ago the Western Reserve, which, except the
Glloher. was the largest boat in the grain
trade on the lakes, went down in Lake Su-
perior with all hands, the force of the waves
having broken her IN two. The Gilcher had
a crew of about twenty-five men, and it is
feared that she has met the fate of her sister
ship. II the Gilcher has really gone down
she must have met her fate either on Friday
or Saturday last, as the gales were very
heavy at that time.
At place near where the wreckage sup
posed to be from the Gilcher was discovered
big schooner was found bottom up, but
what her name was no one knows. Cap
tains passing along the route leading by
Manitou say they have seen great qusnti-
ties Of wreckags that could only have come
from a large vessel or several vessels

quantity of wreekage. Doors, stools, win

ing in the lake. The stanchionsN to the
bridge, which was painted white, were
striped oak. The bridge was about fest
wide, fore and aft, but 1 do
rot know how long it was
The doors and sash in the top panels and the
glass, of course, was broken out We could
see nothing which would give any indica-
tion of the name Of the unfortunate craft.
There is not particle Of doubt that the
wFeckage was from some steamer which
had foundered not far from theren
Capt. Dennis also reported that medium
sizsd schooner with its bilge and part OF
its bottom showing was on the beach Of the
island. 1t had g cargo Of hemlock lumber.
The bottom had been newly cslked. He did
not learn the name of the schooner. The
finding Of the wreckage by the Shaw leaves
no doubt that the wreckage is frsm some
boat which went to the bottom.

RA1N-BRIuaING EXPLOSIVES.
A Series OF Experiments in tho "
clnity of Washington.

A Series OF EEperim ents in tho vi
clnity of Washington.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-For nearly a
week nervous people in Washington have
been shocked and startled by a series Of
heavy explosions that occur at irregular in
tervals, rattling windows aud shaking
houses to their foundations. These noises
are the work of rainmakers across the river
at Fort Myer, and the fact that they are so
audible at distance is an indication or the
tremendous strength of the explosive dis
charged. The experiments are being con-
Quoted by tho agricultural depar tment, and
Just at present the object Is not to effect
rainfall in the vicinity, but to determine
upon the merits OF certain new explosives
which will be used for that purpose
in the future. The explosives used in the
celebrated Texas experiments were unob-
jectionAble except in one respect, and that
was their very high cost. Two of the new
explosives that are being tested promise
well. One ia rosellite, a powder resembling
in appearance moist brown sugar and
smelling like fresh concrete. Ii is the in
venton OF DR.. Roselle and is made by mix
ing one part to seven of chiorats of potash
and asphaltum oil. IL is one of the safest
known high explosives to handle, and can
be exploded only by means Of q dstonating
fuse. IL ranks above dynamite and is cheap.
The other explosive is Intended to take
the place of the rather expensive oxy-
hydrogen balloon. It is vast paper bag,
80 feet long and feet in diameter, filled
with carburetted vapor, which explodes
with enormous energy, and is likewise
cheap of preparation. The party across the
river has practically satisfied itself of the
value of the new compounds, and is about
to break camp and leave early next week
for San Antonio, Tex, where attempts on
a gigantic scale will be made TO shake rain
out of the clouds on the dry Texas prairies.

DU BIGNON ON HISMUSCLE
ROCKWELL's DEFEAT IRRIrATEs
HIM TO THE FIG SIZING POINT.

The Claim That Four Members Went
Back on Their Pledges Particularly
Sore Point-Hot Words First Ex,
changed With Mr.. Thompson-A
Row With Judge Gober Follows.
ATLANTA, GA. Nov. 2.-The defeat Of
I. d. Rockwell for solicitor general OF the
Eastern circuit was the cause of a stormy
scene In the Kimball house rotunda this
afternoon. Last night there was a caucus
Of the Rockwell forces 10 the room Of Hon.
Fleming duBignon, who has been the leader
Of ths Rockwell fight. A count of noses
showed that Mr.. Rockwell bad the fight
whipped. and until the vote was actually
taken his friends were willing TO back their
claims with dollars at great odds. But
when the roll was called four
democrats who had been in the Rock
well caucus of last night broke
their pledges and voted for Mr.. Fraser,
electing him with the aid OF the practically
solid support Of the third partyites. The
treSohery OF these four men aroused the
deepest Indignation among the friends Of
Mr.. Rockwell, and in more than one inS
stance hot words were passed.
Du BIGNoN IRRITATED.
Naturally enough Mr.. duBignon felt very
much aRgrieved at the action OF those upou
whom he had counted. In fact, the distinI
guished gentleman from Savannah was
more than indignant, and when Mr.. Thomp-
son, one Of the leaders Of the opposition, met
him at the Kimball and boaSted OF having
drawn of four men who had been In
the Rockwell caucus. Mr.. duBignon replied
in such q way that bystanders expected TO
see fight. At that moment, however, Mr..
Thompson stepped into the elevator, ana
thus more serious consequences we're
avoided. Later Mr.. duBignon encountered
Judge Gober of the Blue Ridge circuit, and
charged him with being partly responsible
for the treaohery Of the men who had de-
feated his friend.
HOT WORDS PASSED.
Hot words passed between the two gentle4
men and those who were standing neap
understood the ex-senator from Savannah
to tell Judge Gober that he believed him
guilty OF the charges preferred against
him before ths legislature, and which will ba
investigated by q special committee. Those
who witnessed the encounter between
Judge Gober and Mr. duBlguon were im-
pressed with the idea that the judge had
good ground TO show fight IL he had 30 de-
sired, and that without lowering the dig
nifty OF his judicial ermine in the minds Of
she sovereign American In the general
confusion, one Of the four men who had
gone back on the caucus, appeared, and bun
for the fact that friends took charge Of him
and got him out OF the way, there would
very probably have been a scene so dis
graceful as to have demanded the atten-
ton Of the police.
