Great Difficulty Experienced IN Res
cuing Her Passengers and Crew.
MILWAUKEE, Dec. 1.-THE steamer +.
and P. NJ. of the Flint and Pere Mar.
quette Line went ashore in a terrible
peasterly gale and snowstorm six miles
north of here this morning. The seas
were so high that surf-boat could not
be taken to the scene. and the life-saving
apparatus was taken overland.
There were twenty eight passengers
and a crew of fifteen on board.
Great difficulty was experienced in
reaching the beach opposite the point
where the vessel lay, owing to the steep,
high bluffs. When the crews finally sue
ceeded in getting the surf-boat down to the
shore it was found that the high seas and
the rock-lined bottom OF the coast made it
impossible to use the sur1-boat.
Arrangements were at once made to
rig breeohes' buoy and throw line TO
the wreck from a mortar.
From the beach the steamer seems to be
in a very bad position. being nearly LOCO
feet from shore and with the stern to the
seas, pounding heavily on the rocks and
evidently full Of water.
1t was finally decided TO try to get out
in the surf-boat. After stiff pull Of fiji
teen minutes it reached the side of the
vessel, and two Of the women on board,
Mrs, Augusta Peterson and Miss Flora
Gunderman, both of Ludington, were let
down in sling into the boat.
After consultation with the Captain,
who said the vessel was in no immediate
danger of going to pieces, as the weather
seemed to be moderating, it was thought
best to defer the rescue of the others, SO
the crew rowed back and landed the two
women.
sengers on the steamer were brought
ashore.

A Telephone Boy Falls Down an Ele-
vator Shaft.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. Ll.-A boy named
Arthur Chadwick fell down the elevator
shaft of the Telephone building on Bush
street this morning, receiving injuries
which soon after resulted in death.
About 9:1O, on one of the upward trips of
the elevator, it started with passenger
for the second floor, and one of the tele-
phone Office boys, named Arthur Chad
wick. The passenger was let out at the
second floor and the elevator continued
on upward. The elevator boy stopped
the cage at the fifth floor in answer to a
ring, but the person who had rung for
the elevator had evidently walked up, as
there was no one at the door when the
boy opened it.
The elevator boy then started the ele-
vator up with one hand and was in the
act of closing the door with the other
when young Chadwick, who had previ-
ously made no motion to get out at the
fifth floor, took hold of the elevator door,
pushed it back and jumped out. The
elevator boy stopped the elevator, but as
young Chadwick stopped 10 jump out he
struck his head against the grill work
above the elevator and fell, partially in
side the elevator and partially outside.
The elevator at this time was at a stand
still. The elevator boy, having the ele-
vator in hand, made grab for Chadwick,
who, continuing his efforts to get out,
eluded his grasp, slipped underneath the
elevator and fell to the bottom of the
shaft.
physician was summoned, but moth
ing could be done, and the boy died few
minutes after the accident.
Among Chadwick's duties was that of a
relief boy in running the elevator, so
that he was familiar with its operation
and should have known the danger OF at
tempting to jump from it while it was in
motion,
