Frightful Sea News.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Dec. ia
passenger and freight steamer of
the Flint and Pierre Marquette
line, went ashore at 4 o'clock this
morning, in White Fish bay, six
miles north of Milwaukee. The
boat is exposed to a terrible east
wind and a heavy sea is running.
A binding snow storm prevails.
The steamer had eighteen passen-
gers and crew of about fifteen. A
life saving crew went at once to
their rescue. The seas are running
so high that the surf boat
could not be lowed to the scene
of the wreck, and the life-saving
apparatus was taken overland to
White Fish bay. When the crew
finally arrived on the scene it was
found that the high seas and rocks
and boulders that lined the bottom
of the bay, made it impossible to
use the surf boat. Arrangements
were at once made to rig the
breeches buoy and throw
the line to the wreck by means
of a mortar. The passengers
appear to be in no immediate dan
ger, but this fact did not deter the
life savers from Fastening to the
work of rescue. The scene of the
wreck is about six miles north of
Milwaukee Harbor.

Experts at Billiards.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE most
interesting national billiard tour
nament of years will begin in the .
concert hall of the Madison Square
Garden today and continue tiIE
Saturday night. The contestants
will be Frank G. Ives and Jacob
Schaetfer, of Chicago, and George
F. Slosson, Of this city, who will
play l4-inch balk-line, 600 points
up each game, each man to pIaE
the others twice. Each contestant
has put up $500 forming a sweep
stake of $500. The winner of the
largest number of games will take
the whole stake and fifty per eens
of the net gate money. An innoya-
ton will be the substitution of q
large blackboard for the usual
string of markers.
The contest will assume addition
al interest from the fact that
Schaefer and Ives have just cont
pleted $1,000 game in which Ives
led to the closing night, When
Schaefer, by marvellous display
closed up on his. opponent and
won. In the game here, as in that
at Chicago, the anchor shot wilt
not be barred, and Schaefer wiz
probably get ample opportunity
to show that he is still a wizard at
billiards.
Ives is still the American and
the worlds champion, for the game
with Schaefer was simply for a
purse, and did not involve the title
to the championship. He VIII
again play Schaefer in Chicago
during January, when a big purse
will be contested for.
SlossOn ranks third in the tour
nament. He is a clever player,
but has never been able to hold the
lead among professional billiard.
players for any length Of time.
The management of this interest
ing tournament is in the hands of

A Train Robbery.

Special TO the LIGHT.
AUSTIN, Dec. IL, 8 a. MAS the
north-bound international and
Great Northern express train was
passing Duval, a small station
seven miles north of here, it was
side tracked and robbed by a gang
of seven train robbers. AS the
train slowed up for the station the
engineer saw man standing at
the switch board but before he
could stop his train he had run on
the siding. The headlight was
shot out, and a brakeman, who
came running up from the rear of
the train, had lantern shot out of
his hand. In the meantime a per-
feet fusilade was kept up by
the robbers shooting up and
down the train so that no one
dared venture out. The express
car was the first object Of attack,
the robbers securing a package
containing $1,000. The passenger
coach was the next attacked and
as a robber at each door kept the
passengers covered, another went
through the car, taking every
thing he could get. He
had large sack hanging over his
shoulder into which he dumped
watches, jewelry and money. AS
he entered the car he laid the eX-
press package containing one thou
sand dollars. down on a seat and
before he had finished the
passenger coaches the up
roar became so great that
he jumped off the other
end of the train without coming
back for the package or molesting
the passengers in the sleeper at
the rear of the train. The fireman
was the only person injured, he
receiving a flesh wound in his arm.
The amount taken from the pas
sengers is very large, though the
exact sum is not known. Officers
left here this morning for the
scene of the robbery with blood
hounds. SHOOT.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.
WACO, Texas, Dec. 1.-THE north
bound International train was
held up at Duval, ten miles north
of Austin, last night by four men.
The express train was robbed of
about $500. Two men held the
engineer and fireman while two
went through the passenger tr3 il,
getting about $75. The train was
held one hour. About 200 shots
were fired. The fireman was shot
in the arm. The robbers, in the
excitement, left bag of silver in
the passenger coach, containing
about $1,000. Judge Cook, of Hous-
ton, was among the passengers. A
clerk of Wolfson's, of San Antonio,
was relieved of all in his possession.

hall last night, while among them
was a college professor and fifteen
students, making notes and study

places near the steam heaters, were
questioned by Professor HOurwich,
of the University of Chicago, and
his class in the statistics. A list
of queries had been prepared with
a view to develowing data re-
garding the unemployed of Chi

American Federation In Session

CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-THE thir-
teenth annual convention of the
American Federation opened in
the city council chamber today.
and over ninety delegates from all
parts of the country were present
when President Samuel Com
pers called the convention
to order. A strong effort will
be made by the western
delegates to elect a western man to
the presidency. A parade had
been planned for this morning, but
because of bad weather the idea
was abandoned and the delegates
marched from their headquarters
to the council chamber without
any display. 1t was expected that
Governor Altgelt would be present
to assist in the opening exercises,
and the committee was sent early
to wait on him at his office,
but he had not arrived from
Springfield. VIM. Pomeroy well
coined the delegates in lengthy
speech, in which he set forth the
pitiable condition of many of the
Chicago laboring men. "Ten thOus-
and, hungry. houseless men will
welcome your coming" said the
speaker, land will expect you to
sound to the nation the note of
alarm, and will look to you for aid
in their present desperate cOndi-
tion."
