A STARTLING RUMoR.
A Lafge Passenger Steamer Reported
Fotindered in Lake Erie.

A Large Passenger Steamer Reported
Foundered in Lake Erie.
CLEVELAND, o., June u. 1t was
rumored late last night that the passen-
ger steamer Nyack, which left Buffalo
Saturday night, foundered on Lake Erie.
Up to late hour nothing has been
heard OF her in this city. A private dis
patch from Buffalo stated that the Nyack
would stop at this point, but the custom
house official says the vessel had not ar
rived up to a. m. monday, and he did
not know anything regarding her. A
gale prevailed on the lake yesterday, bat
whether or not the Nyack was caught in
it is not known here.
BUFFALO, N. Y, June ia base
less rumor was current in this city last
night that the passenger steamer Nyack,
which left here Saturday evening on her
fret trip to the worlds fair, foundered
in gale. The rumor could be traced to
no authentie source, and no report has
been received at the docks here con-
firming the rumor in any way. The
slow steamer Avon, which also left here
on Saturday night, returned yesterday
and reported that she turned back on
account OF gale, that the Nyack was
ahead OF her when she turned about.
1t is thought likely that 1t sprang from
the fact Of the gale and this being the
maiden trip of the Nyack. A large com
pany of people is on board, including
many Buffalonisns and many others from
Western New York.

probably be some Time before Officers
Fay and Carsey forget their terrifying
experiences Of last week. 1t occurred on
the day Of the murder in Chinatown,
when woman was killed and Chinese
all but murdered.
Some hours had elapsed since the
commission o. the crime, and as yet the
murderer had not been found. Officers
were securing the neighboring cities and
searching every nook and Granny; police
ana Chinese alike were interchangeable in
their endeavors to trace the criminal.
Chinatown itself was being ransacked
from top to bottom by dozen or more
men, among whom were Fay and Car
sey. Time was passing rapidly and as
yet no clue had been discovered,
when Fay and Carsey entered a small
brick enclosure. No sooner had they
stepped inside than they halted for

Regaining composure, the officers d. |

pen and closed the door, after which |
they lost no time in securing their
hands and clothing. Both officers have
had many dangerous and alarming ex-
periences, but they never expect such

when he talks about the leper they
