lean Ships.
LONDON, May 15.-In the commons to-
day @. J. Darling, Conservative, asked
whether there was any truth in the
report that some Irishmen on board q
vessel called the Hazel Kirke, at New
York on the nth inst, hoisted the flag
Of the Republic Of Ireland, which flag
was saluted by the German and Amer
lean vessels.

made, said: "No doubt trouble ia COM

desirable to simulate any nervousness

Drowned.

1t is very seldom so large num-
Der experience feelings of sorrow
over the death of person as was
the case when the news was received
last Thursday that little Jessie
Cunningham had been drown in
Long Lake. The evidence render
ed at the coroners inquest shows
that Winnie Beebe, Emma Masters
and Jessie Cunningham, three
young girls, were bathing in Long
Lake, at a place where the water is
from six inches to 81 feet deep for
a distance of 500 feet from the
shore, and then the depth deepens
abruptly to six or eight feet. At
Jessie's request Winnie Beebe took
her on her back and waded out into
the lake until the water reached the
lower part of her chest. Winnie
then turned round to walk back to
shore, but was thrown off her
feet by the under current. She
called for Emma Masters to come
and help her, and Emma states,
under oath, that Winnie cried to
Jessie to catch hold of her hair and
dress, and that she saw Winnie go
down twice. Emma got near
enough to the struggling children
to give Winnie her fingers, and this
doubtless saved her life" The re-
mains of little Jessie were recovered,
and Friday morning were taken to
Bay City for burial, being accom-
panied by her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. w. c. Cunningham. Little
Jessie was one of the brightest
children in the city, and many hun
dreds of people have witnessed with
pleasurable feelings her Scottish
character representations OH the
stage of the Opera House.

Many Families Lose Their Homes by
Forest Fires. Heroic Conduct Of
Mrs Goodwin.

Last Thursday forest fire swept
over a large part of Ossineke town
ship, and many families lost their
homes and crops and household
goods. The fire commenced in AL
coma county, near Alpena, and con-
sumed the farm house and all the
contents, as we'll as the barn and
hay of John Goodwin, leaving him
and his family destitute. II then
crossed into section 30, town 20,
range 8 east and destroyed the
houses, barns and crops of A.
Shrop, Enoch Enger, G. j. Mathews,
j. Demsky and Lewis Derosie, as
we'll as the portable saw mill of
Benjamin Kurz. The farm houses
and barns of Felix Parro and L. G.
Pratt are also reported to have
been burned.
The tract of land burned over is
estimated ut seven miles square.
Slashings have been so cleared of
timber by the fire that the land is
nearly in a condition fit for plough
ing, and a good deal of live timber
land has been burned over.
Our informant, who has been
over the burned district, says that
when the forest conhagration was
raging. and Mr.. Goodwin's house
was in flames, Mrs. Goodwin took
Alpena argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1893-1909, 1893-08-09

two of her children in her arms and
started on foot for place of safety
from the raging flames. She had
Travelled about a half mile when
a change of wind drove the fire in
front of her and cut off her escape
in that direction. Mrs. Goodwin,
with her heavy but precious load,
was then compelled to seek another
avenue to escape being burned, and
after a race of mile and half she
managed to find place free from
danger. 1t was an heroic act on
the part of the lady. Mr.. and Mrs.
Goodwin lost all their household
effects, and IN fact our informant
said, they did not save even a fork.

Call q Halt.

The report of the Comptroller
up to the last of July shows that
orders have thus far this year been
drawn on the contingent fund to
about half of the amount appropriate
ed, the police fund is more than half
drawn, while the highway fund has
been exhausted and 81 ,325.87 over
drawn.
With only five months of the
year yet expired, this condition of
the funds of the city would seem to
indicate that a halt should be called
in the expenditures. There are
now less than $17, 900 of the amount
appropriated left on hand, while
over $4,000 have been laid
out. If the same ratio is con-
tinued, the city will be in far worse
financial condition Oh the first of
March next than it was last March,
so that it stands to reason that the
Council have wide field in which
to practice the utmost economy.
