is total loss The Puritan was a com
paratively new boat. built in 81, and was
purchased by the Seymour Transportation
Co. from Graham x Morton in 1892. She
was valued by her owners at $4,000, and
carried a fire insurance of $4,000. The
company will probably replace her either
by purchasing another boat after naviga-
tion opens, or by building a new one. The
Puritan was the fastest and crankiest boat
on the lakes, and probably had more
narrow escapes and inflicted more damage
than any other craft now afioat. She was

n Funeral Carriage In Chicago.
Without signal of warning, an express
train of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St
Paul Road cut through funeral process
sion at the Paulina street crossing In
Chicago. Five persons were buried un'
der the ruins of a mourning carriage, and
two women were so badly injured that
they may die. The occupants Of two eth
er carriages narrowly escaped the same
fate, the horses being pulled up within a
few feet of the outbound train. Part OF
the funeral procession went on, the
mourners being unconscious of the fact
that some of their number had been near
" killed. Whether the fagman or the
engineer Of the passenger train was to
blame was not learned. The fagman de-
clares he tagged the train, but the wit
nesses of the accident tell another story.
The engineer. the police say, was at fault
in not slowing up in response to the flag
nan's signal.

MICHIGAN MATTERS:
NEWS or THE WEEK CONCISELY
CONDENSED.
What Is Meant by a Recent Decision
Of the Supreme Court-AnnuaI Bud
get of the State Foots Up Over Three
Million.
Debtor in Jail for Life.

The action of the Supreme Court in sus-
tanning the constitutionality of the fraud
ulent debtor act of Michigan has directed
public attention to the case of Henry 4.
and Charles III. RUNNER. of Manistee. in
whose behalf the case was brought. With
the legality of their imprisonment fully
affirmed. the two imprisoned debtors have
apparently no alternative but to remain
In Jail as long as the creditor at whose in
stance they have been incarcerated sees
fit TO pay their board. The First Ma
tional Bank of Manistee, which brought
the action, has been paying the sheriff
81 day for the board of the two men for
the last eight months. and apparently in
tends to continue. The men are confined
in what is called the woman's cell in the
county Jail. 1t is Sx12 feet and about
8 feet high. One basement window fur
nished light and ventilation and one bed
has to do for both. The elder man shows
the effect of his long confinement, being
under the doctors care most of the time.
For a time after being taken to jail the
men were allowed the use of the corridors,
but the bank officials informed the sheriff
that he must comply with the law and
keep them locked up. The bank. ii
seems. is determined to have the law en-
forced to the letter.
