Elvs Lives Lost In the Lake.

The steambarge Ohio, of Chicago,
down bound, and the barge lronton, of
Cleveland, in tow of the Kersbaw,
mp bound, collidcd at n. m. ten miles
north of Presque Isle, Lake Huron,
both vessels sinking. The crew of the
Ohio was rescued by the schooner
Moonlight, also in tow of the Kershaw,
all without incident, except that Mate
Arncl Hodge clung to a ladder after
the Ohio sunk and was in the water
two hours before being picked up.
The crew of the Ironton took to the
small boats, two of them being picked
up by the llebard. The remaining five
have not been heard from as yet, and
&c is now almost certain they have
persisted. A heavy south gale was
Blowing at the time. The Kcrshaw
waited in the neighborhood of the
scene until daylight, and seeing
nothing of the missing men or the
boats put in at Sault Ste. Marie.
The IrontOn struck the Ohio abreast of
She boilerhouse, staving a hole IL
feet square. Both boats are beyond
recovery. The Ohio has had check

HILL FOR GOVERNOR.
New York Democrats Chose David IL.
hin as Their Candidate.

mn
The Democratic state convention of
New York was held at Syracuse with
Senator David Il. Hill as chairman.
This convention was undoubtedly
without n precedent in that it chose as
the leading candidate the man who
fatty refused TO accept, and was forced
to .acquiesce because the convention
would vote for no other man.
The proceedings were such as are
common TO conventions until the roll
call on the nomination of "a candidate
for governor was taken up. Albany
county named John Boyd Thatcher.
Allegheny county was second, and
Delegate Reynolds arose and amidst
intense silence said The united dele
cation from Allegany county desire to
place in nomination for governor their
first and only choice, David B. Hill"
Then occurred one of the widest
scenes that could be imagined. Dele
gates jumped upon the chairs, specta-
tors crowded into the aisles, hats were
thrown heavenward, canes with rib
bons waived wildly and men yelled
themselves hoarse in their cheer after
cheer that almost rent the frail build
ing in twain. Senator Hill grew pale
with emotion, but in an almost faint
hope that he would be able to stem
the tide, pounded vigorously with the
gavel and cried for order.
Finally from sheer exhaustion the
vast audience ceased its applause
enough to allow Senator Hills voice
to be heard, and in husky voice he
said: Il am grateful TO the Democracy
of the Empire state for their courtesy
and kindness and support in the past,
but must say to you that / cannot be
your candidate again for governor.
There were cries of mo, no." and
You're the only man." from the dele
gates, and the applause was renewed.
Bat in the intervals Senator Hill man
aged to insist that the roll of delegates
should be called. The call proceeded,
being continually interrupted as be-
fore, until New York was reached.
Then the Albany delegation withdrew
Thatcher's name, and amidst greater
storm Bourke Cochran leaped upon a
table, and shouting Hills name, said:
"All who are in favor of nominating
by acclamation will say aye" There
was a mighty shout, and TO the same
summons for those ''opposed-no'
there was not a voice heard. Then
turning to Senator Hill he said: "Sir,
the people summon you to your duty" :"
In order 10 make the work complete
the roll call was continued when pos
sible, and when finished the secretary
announced every vote for Senator Hill.
The other nominations were: Lieu
tenant-governor, Daniel y. Lockwood,
Buffalo; judge of the court of appeals,
Judge Gaynor, Brooklyn.
The usual resolutions were adopted.
The move TO adjourn was carried,
Senator Hill saying: "The convention
that is running itself wants to adjourn
i declare it adjourned.

Queen Victoria to Abdlcate.

New York: "Ascor," writing from
London, says that Queen Victoria may
abdicate the throne on November 8.
The letter says:
Victorla's rheumatism is worse.
At this present time her majesty of
England goes up and down stairs in a
sort of litter, and is rolled about her
rooms in vehicle which resembles an
enlarged baby carriage. Specialists
says it's rheumatic gout. The queen
has always been good walker, and
this partial disablement brings prom
inently to the front again the question,
Will not her majesty abdicate in favor
of her son, the prince of Wales?
The court eavesdropper says that on
the 9th of November next, the birth
day of the prince of Wales, the an
nouncement of her majesty's retire
ment will be made in favor of her
eldest son, who will be acclaimed as
Edward VII.
Queen Victoria is 75 years old, an age
when one can well understand she
might be only too willing to free her
self entirely from all trammels even
of such feeble responsibility as Brit
ish monarch now possesses. The prince
of Wales is 50, and therefore no longer
young, and so it is about time that he
had some taste of his natural heritage.

prominent Michigan Educator Dead.

Once more the Olivet college flag is
at half-mast. Joseph EstabrooL, the
principal of the normal department of
Olivet college, passed away. He taught
his various classes until about a week
before when he was taken i'll, was
soon confined to his bed and destined
never again TO rise from it. He was
conscious almost to the end, and his
death was most peaceful.
Prof. Estabrook was n man who un-
consciously endeared himself TO the
hearts of all in his wide circle of ac-
quaintances, and Olivet in morning
his loss, but mingles her tears with
the sorrow of the whole state. Teach
ing was his life work and his love of
study kept him abreast of the times in
all methods of school education. He
was also minister of the gospel, and
his upright life won for him hosts of
friends.
Joseph Estabrook was born at Bath, n H.,
in 1920 where he obtained a common school
education. but he worked his way through
Oberlin College He taught at various places
for IL years and for II years following was
principal OF the Ypsilanti public schools. In
1871 he was made principal OF the GpSllantl
normal school and after laboring there for
nine years accepted the call To Ohyet college,
60 which institution he was been as father
comparing with what he could command else
where. He was for eight years regent OF the
University of Michigan and for three years
superintendent of public instruction

Chinese War Gossip.

Shanghai: 1t is reported that most
of the japanese men of war have left
the island of Hal Yantan. Their des-
tination is unknown, and their is great
uneasiness here regarding their where
abouts and intentions.
The Chinese no longer claim that
more than one Japanese vessel was
sunk in the battle off the Yalu.
Chinese agents in Europe and the
United States have been ordered to
purchase forthwith any war ships that
sells were purchased at Buenos Ayres
on China's account prior to the Yalu
battle.
Many vessels loaded with munitions
of war are on their way here from

Youthful wholesale burglar.

For some time past burglars have
been at work in the small towns in
Ionia county. Sheriff Montgomery
arrested Bert Chapman, of Lowell, on
suspicion. When searched he was
armed with a 3S-caliber revolver and a
dirk. Sheriff Montgomery went to
Lowell and searched the house of A. B.
Waterman, the young mans grand
father and found Winchester rifle
and shotgun and trunk containing
chains, rings, and other jewelry stolen
from the store of Houck & Cotter, Pc
wamo; four revolvers, nine razors, to-
gether with guns stolen from Benson
Il Crawford's hardware store at Sara
nae; a kit of burglar tools, a pocketbook
containing "A number of rare coins,
lady's handbag, seven l,000-mile books
stolen from the d., l.. IL y. ticket office
at Lyons and about 100 other articles.
Chapman is about 90 years old, was
reared in Ionia, is of respectable par
entage but owing to family troubles
has been allowed to run wild.

nIoody Riots at Rio de danolro.

Advices from Montevideo, Uruguay,
say there has been rioting in Rio de
Janeiro lasting five days, accompanied
by outrages on Portuguese merchants,
instigated directly by President Pick,
oto, who melted soldiers, dressed as
citizens TO make an attack on the pre-
tense that they wanted TO break up a
meeting of royalist conspirators.
The number of killed is stated TO be
32s, and 213 wounded entering the hos
pitfalls, besides those taken to their
homes. The damage to the property
of Portuguese, British and other for
eign residents amounts to $1,000, 900.
1t is probable that rioting will begin
soon again, the English and Italians
the English especially - being sus-
pected of favoring the royalist7. The
British legation is crowded with
refugees. Rio, it is reported, looks
like great military camp

shifted. The schooner's old timbers
eouldn't stand the strain and she soon

Never in the history of Dowagiac
have the prospects of the laboring
men looked as dubious as now. The
Round Oak stove works have closed
down indefinitely, and now none of
che Dowagiac manufacturing plants
arc running. There arc about 500 out
of employment, many of whom are
nearly destitute, while few families
arc literally starving. The Dowagiac
shoe drill works will probably run
their works with light force.
