Michigan Legislative Doiurs.

LANSING. Mich, April 2I.-The Bishop
anti-free- pass bill, which prohibited the
granting of passes by railroads to any per-
son enjoying a salary from the state was
defeated in the house by a vote of 81 to 20
There is one other bill pending upon the
subject which makes it obligatory upon
the roads to issue passes to the legislators
and state officers upon certificate of the
secretary of state. Bills were passed requir-
ing the use after January, 1894, of blowers
in all establishments where emery wheels
are used. The senate passed bills making
telegraph companies common carriers, and
subjecting them to the liabilities thereof,
and making it unlawful for foreign insur-
ance companies authorized to do business
in this state to place insurance on Michigan
property in offices outside the state. The
bill requiring employees of females to fur.
nish seats for the latttr's use was killed.

THREE LAKE VESSELS MISSING.
A. NJ. Wright X. f. Hayes and Kate f
Howard-WrectS of the Danforth.

A. NJ. Wright, II. f. Hayes and Kate f.
Howard-Wreck of the Danforth.
CHICAGO, April 21.-It is feared that the
worst remains to be learned regarding the
storm on the lake. The big steamer A.
NJ Wright and its tow, the schooner r.
b. Hayes, are missing,as is also the schooner
Kate F. Howard. Grave fears are enter
tanned that these vessels foundered in the
gale. The Wright, with the schooners F.
l.. Danforth and r. b. Hayes in tow,
steamed out of this harbor bound for the
lower lakes with grain. Little Roadway
was made and as the storm increased in
violence the steamer was brought to
Standstill.
About midnight the towline from the
Hayes to the Danforth parted. The DAN
forth was driven on the beach at Lake
View, and after the crew had been rescued
by the tug Protection it went to pieces. No
tidings of the other boats have been re-
ceived. The captain of the Danforth says
that the vessels had been giving distress sig
mails for an hour when the line parted, and
he does not believe they can have survived
the storm. Each of the missing boats had
a crew of about ten men. The Kate f.
Howard is supposed to have been some
where between this city and Racine when
the storm broke, and her non-appearance is
causing considerable anxiety.

washed away. Iney knew 1t was gone when
the air pump ceased working. This was
about 6 a. m. When the pump stopped
the air kept growing worse until $50
o'clock, when it became SO bad that it was
proposed by some to leave the lock and
take chances outside.
Finally the air lock was opened and the
water was allowed to come in. Mcbride,
Dwyer Gregg, johnson, Leikowicz and
Miller succeeded in getting out OF the lock
and to the surface. To do this they had
to climb up through ten feet of water. The
of her nine Miller says could not find the
ladder, he supposes, as they did not get on
the crib and were drowned in the lock.
When he got on the crib Miller wound
wire cable around his arm and was then
able to hold on until the lifeboat arrived.
He says that Dwyer. Gregg, johnson and
Leikowicz held on about half an hour and
then one by one were swept away, Mcbride
held on until ten within minutes of the
arrival of the boat and he too succumbed
and waswashed off with help in sight.
The Clubhouse was a himsy affair and
there is much indignation that such a
structure should have been built when it
is known that at this season of the year
dangerous storms are frequent. The
house was in two stories. The lower floor
was occupied by the machinery and cook
room and the upper one as sleeping apart
ment for the men. The very reason for
building the house was an excellent one
for making 1t as strong as possible, as it
was said that storms are feature of the
spring, and it would be impossible for the
men to get ashore for days together. So
the house was built to lodge them in.

That Story of the Terrible Steamboat
Explosion at Winamac.
WINAMAC, Ind, April 2l.-The story of
the terrible steamboat explosion at this
place is fake. There is no steamer
named Nellie BLY, here. The whole matter
in nutshell is this: A party of five, j.
w. Fish:horne and son, Daniel Rhodas,
James Long and George Frain, went down
the river in an old scow or sandboat about
fifteen feet long and six feet wide. The
propelling power was run by a ram
shackled little one-horse engine. When
the party arrived at Island No. 3 they ran
on a sandbar and the fiues in the boiler col
lapsed. George Frain had both feet scald-
ed, but there is no need of amputation.
James Long walks the streets without a
scald and Daniel Rhodas is not hurt at all.
John w. FisEthorne had his hands burnt.
Clarence Fishthorne had his thigh slight
ly burnt. Total loss about $50.

HOPES THAT WERE DElUSiVE.

They remained on the crib about fifteen
minutes, when one by one they began to
disappear. The disappearance did not
worry the spectators, who now thought
that the men were all safe. 1t was thought
that the men on the crib had gone back
into the shaft where, it was supposed, their
comrades were in safe refuge. The news
that the men had been seen cheered the
women. who now had hopes for the safety
of their husbands.

The sea became calmer and the tug Well

ing the crib, arriving there in about three
fourths of an hour. and landing one of the
surfmen named Olsen. He was seen to
walk about for few minutes and then
dive into the water. The act was signlh-

while they had been looking the men had
been lost. Olsen was drawn back TO the

AS the fact that all except one were lost

of the tug, n trip that was accomplished
with difficulty. But when it arrived they
were denied the sorrowful satisfaction of
learning how the victims died, for Miller
was speechless and was taken at once to
