LOST ON LAKE MICHIGAN.
Schooner II. X. Williams Wrecked During
n Galc-Seven Lives Lost.

Galc-Seven Lives Lost.
EscANABA, Mich, Sept. 24.-The
schooner Il. R. Williams sunk in gale
Sunday night and all on board are sup
posed to be lost, as it would be impos-
sible for them to reach shore in such
a furious sea. Following are the
names of the crew so far as known:
Capt. Hunton, master of the schooner,
home in Cleveland; Maggie Bennett,
stewardess, home in Cleveland; mate
and four sailors, names unknown.
The cargo of the Williams consisted
of $40 tons of iron ore for Toledo. The
Williams was in tow of the steamer
Santa Maria, and both boats left at
o'clock Sunday afternoon. The sea
was running reavily from the south
on Green bay, and the schoon-
er, laden deep in the water, made
bad work of the head sea. The
Santa Maria headed for the Poverty
passage in Lake Michigan, and up to 8
o'clock Sunday night the schooner's
lights could be seen by the crew of the
Santa Maria. Shortly after that time
the tow line parted and the Williams
disappeared from sight. AT daylight
its topmast was discovered sticking
out of the water under st. Martins
island. No trace of the crew could be
seen.
MARQUETTE, Mich, Sept. 24-The
steamer Stafford arrived Monday after
noon with the barges Francomb and
Ed Williams in tow. The captain re-
ports that on the way up Sunday night
the steamer Simon Langell and two
consorts were just ahead. During the
night they were lost sight of, and
nothing has been heard of them since.
ST. IGNACE, Mich, Sept. 24.-The
schooner c. ii. Johnson went ashore
at Gross Cap, behind the island of st.
Helena, III Sunday nights gale and
the crew had narrow escape
from being drowned. The schooner
commenced going to pieces five min
utes after she struck. The yawl-
boat was filed and stove to pieces
and the crew began firing distress sig
nails with gun. These awoke Fisher
man Ambrose Corps, who, with his
two sons, manned his fishing boat and
pulled out to the wreck. They
nearly lost their lives in saving
the crew, but finally all reached
the shore. The woman cook of
the schooner was nearly dead from
fright and exposure, however, and had
leaped into the boat half naked. The
crew of the schooner lost everything
they had except the clothes they wore
at the time.

Durrant Trial.

Lawyers Tor Defense Question Witness In
Durrant Trial.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept "a. - Pawn
broker oppenheim again took the
stand Monday morning in the Durrant
trial. He was questioned closely by the
attorneys for the defense about Dur
rant and his alleged offer of
Blanche Lemont's rings for sale. The
witness remembered that on April 3,
the day of the girls disappearance, he
had only two customers, one of whom
was a farmer who offered watch
for sale and the other was a
woman, who wished to dispose of
her wedding ring. From the way the
questions were asked it was apparent
that the defense would endeavor to
show that Durrant was somewhere
else on the mornings between the 4th
and 10th of April. The witness gave a
complete description of the accused
but admitted that he had read it.
w. j. Phillips, cigar manufacturer
of San Rafael, was the next witness.
He testified that one morning in the
early part of April last while walking
along Dupont street, he saw man,
whom he positively identified as Dur
rant, standing in front of Oppenheim's
store with his right hand closed and ex-
tended in front of him, and also saw
Oppenheim about feet inside of the
door, looking at Durrant Phillips
then pointed Durrant out in the court
as the man referred to. Durrant mere
ly smiled. He then picked out Open
helm from among the crowd in the
court as the man who stood in the
doorway looking at Durrant.

THE American inventor has habit
OF rising promptly to every occasion.
When the call came for tenders for
electric cars he set his mind to the
task, and already more than one thou
sand devices of that sort have been pro-
duced. Unfortunately, few if any of
the tenders come up TO the popular de-
sire. Each works well under certain
conditions, yet none proves trust
worthy under ali circumstances. But
the right thing will be discovered after
time, for Yankee inventive genius
never giscs up.
