Serious Collision of Vessels Near Toledo

Serious Collision or Vessels Near Toledo.
As the passenger steamer City of
Toledo was returning to Toledo from
Putin Bay at . p. IN. she encountered
the schooner Magdalen, in tow of the
tug Butler, in the straight channel
Just off Pressure Isle, near Toledo.
Signals for passing were given and APP
parently understood, for the tug at
once sheered off, but in doing so gave
the schooner a momentum which car
ried her on bank of mud just as the
steamer was abreast of her. She sud
denly slid off the bank and veered
into the City of Toledo, her jibboom
striking the steamer just forward OF
her gangway, tearing away about so
feet of her upper works A panic
reigned on board, the men acting like
insane persons, but it was soon appar-
ent that the vessel would not sink.
Seven people were badly injured and
about 30 received cuts and bruises.
Mrs. John Sanderson, Annie thinner
man, Jessie Jackson, Grace and Nellie
Garwood, all of Ada, o., were probably
fatally mangled, while James Farley,
and Mrs. John Miller, of Bucyrus,
were the others most seriously injured.
The force of the collision disabled the
paddlewheel of the steamer and she
was towed into the dock. The dam
age to the steamer was about $4,000.
The only damage to the schooner was
the carrying away of her jibboom and
some of her canvas.

REVIEW OF TRADE.

Dun's says The volume OF business shrinks.
as is natural In August and the shrinkage
seems rather larger than usual, because trans
actions in July were somewhat inflated for that
month. Some Industries are doing more than
ever before in August, and the prospects for fall
trade is good I'm others, although much depends
on the crops and the outcome Is less clear than
spectators on either side arc disposed TO
admit Industrial troubles have not entirely
ceased. but during the past week have become
much less threatening. The price OF wheat has
fallen heavily in spite OF all efforts TO hold back
supplies from farms and 20 encourage buying.
Wheat ought to go abroad freely at present
prices. but Atlantic exports have been exceed
iugly light. Stories of short crops abroad have
little weight In the presence of such a record
and the abstention OF foreign purchasers proves
more effective than the Withholding OF wheat
by western farmers Corn has also declined.
Cotton advanced fraction without any definite
change in crop prospects and as usual the inn
mense volume Of stocks carried over Is by most
traders not appreciated. IL is n relief 10 turn
to the great industries, in which enormous or
ders placed some weeks or months ago cause
phenomenal activity for the season.

The strike of the miners of Ishpem-

enthusiasm of the men is fast dwin-
ding away Instead of about 1000
men participating in the daily marches
less than 500 now appear. The men
are beginning to feel that their leaders
are too head strong and there are
said to he some who think
they have been deceived by
the leaders as to the prospects of help
from outside sources. Many families
are SAID to be suffering now. The
strike is loss in wages to the work
.ingmcn o. the county OF about $40, coo
per day. Public sympathy is now not
with the strike movement. The min
ing companies have offered an adj
vance of from 10 to % per cent over
.1hc old wages which, considering the
price at which their ore was sold for
this seasons delivery, is fair and is
so looked upon. Many miners are
leaving. probably 200 having gone.
For time men were not permitted by

relief. Coad and Wasley, the president
and secretary, have quarreled on ac-
count of the flexible disposition of the
halter, who was willing to concede a
little. Many of the men say that the
reign OF terror for which some of the
leaders have been responsible, could
be shattered in day by anyone from
the ranks who would dare propose "a

Clever Attempt of is Prisoners to Escape

Clever Attempt of Is Prisoners to Escape
One of the most wonderful attempts
at escape from prison ever known in
Michigan was that at the Wayne
county Jail at Detroit. Thirteen men
had dug tunnel five feet deep and II
feet long, leading from one of the cells
in ward /, TO the outer wall of the jail
building, before being discovered.
Several tons of earth had to be re-
moved from the tunnel and disposed
of in the ward, to say nothing of a
few stones that weigh between 200 and
200 pounds each. Besides digging this
tunnel a section of floor tagging, 19X27
inches in size, was removed in one of
the cells, about foot of hard concrete
was dug through, and stone founda-
ton, three feet in thickness, was
pierced. In addition to this bricks
had been dug out of the partition walls
between the cells, in spaces large
enough TO permit the body of Il man to
pass. Only one layer of brick was left
in each partition, and each prisoner.
at a given signal, could have connected
his cell with the adjoining one, SO that
every man would have had a clear
way to the cell from which the tunnel
was dug. The plot was discovered only
"a hours before the time set for the
escape.

POEMS.
The Sad Story OF the Mouse.

The Sad Story OF the Mouse.
One winter, when mamma was i'll,
And scarce could move at all,
There used to come little mouse
From out the bedroom wall.
Mamma would scatter crumbs for IL;
Twas company, she said;
She liked to see 1t run about
While she was there In bed
And when mamma was well again.
The mouse would still come out,
And nose around in search Of food,
And scamper all about
At last one day-oh dearI oh deari
naughty boy was I;
ISet trap to catch that mouse:
I'm sure I don't know why.
I'd hardly closed the cupboard door
Before the thing went snapi
was afraid to go and look
AT what was In the trap
At last 1 looked; the mouse was there
Icarried it away;
never told soul of It;
could not play all day.
And after that mamma would say:
why, where's our little mouse'
1t must have found some other place,
think, about the house"
But, OH I'd give my bat and ball,
My kite and tackknife. too.
To see that mouse run round again
The way 1t used to do.
