LIVES LOST ON TIE LAKES.
Disasters Of last Season Much EeIs.yr the
Average of Previous Xears

Disasters Of last Season Much E;eI<.vr the
Average of Previous Xears
SiHty-six lives were lost in nayigat,
ing the great lakes during the season
now closing. Compared with previous
years this list is much below tie av.
erage. There have been many storms
but owing il large degree to good
luck vessels have escaped. Even rOtter
cid hunks have succeeded in lodging
the storms, and coming into port time
after time in safety. Another cause for
the lessening of disasters is the i'm.
proved construction of lake boats.
The most serious disaster was the
wrecking Of the schooner Waukesha off
Musllegon on November :, by which
six lives were sacrificed by the disc.
bedience of the crew, who let go the
anchors when the boat was riding out
a gale on a lee shore.
Next in point of numbers was the
loss Of the schooner Mary D. Aver Oh
May II. The schooner Sumatra foun,
dered off Milwaukee on September 4
carrying down four seamen. \ boiler
explosion on the Rhoda Stewart OF
Alpena ended three lives, and three were
burned with the City Of Kalamazoo on
November 80. On July Q the schooner
Little Wissahickon went down, taking
the captain and two OF his crew. The
captains of the Aver and the Little
WissahicLon endeayored to save their
craft, but instead lost their lives.
Twenty-siX sailors fell overheard and
were drowned. Six fell through open
matches and were killed. One diver
was sUffocated when at work on the
Cayuga. Miscellaneous causes make up
the balance Of the death list Of Sc.
But one passenger of the large num-
Der carried by lake steamers was lost
It will never be known whether this
passenger fell overheard or committed
suicide, but it is believed to be d case

The management OF Surken Vessels,
\ new invention for finding the Ioca-
ton of slnken vessels is about to be
adopted by some of the steamship lines.
Tt consists Of a buoy attached to a long
rope, which is placed loosely in suit
able receptacle on the vessels deck IL
the ship sinks, the buoy floats upon the
surface, and the rope gradually uncOils
as the cage containing it descends.
The theory is a very good one, but the
possibility of entangling the rope in the
rigging Of the vessel and dragging the
buoy down with it is suggested by the
fact that when a ship goes down there
must be a tremendous swirl and swash-
ing about of water, sufficient, at leas5
to make the usefulness of buoy and
any ordinary rope attached to it very
slim indeed.-N. Y. Ledger.

1t is well established fact that the
American people are swindled and
humbugged more than any other peo-
pie on earth, and it is not for want of
intelligence or shrewdness, but simply
because they do not stop to think.

who rather than miss making a sale,

the kind she asks for. He boldly as

Iowa,s Murder Mystery.

Cherokee, la, Feb. 1S-This part of the state is in fever of excitement
 over the new developments, which bid | fair to unravel the mystery surround l ing the death of Maud Strawn, the
 pretty eighteen-y year-old school girl whose lifeless body was found in her room at her married sisters home at | Sheldon, Ia.
 | It is supposed the girl had been dead for three or four days when found, as | decomposition had set in. The body was discovered on Saturday, and the girl had not been in attendance at school since Wednesday forenoon, nor
 had any one seen her on the streets. | At Il o'clock on Wednesday Miss | Strawn asked to be excused. She ex- pected company and would have to get | dinner herself, as her sister, with whom she was staying, had gone to the coun- | try on visit. That is the last time
 she was seen alive by her teacher or | schoolmates. Neighbors saw her enter
 
 Three days later Arthur Gruff, bro- | ther-in-law of the dead girl, went to the | house to discover what trace he could | find of the missing girl, and found her l body on a cot, devoid of clothing except underwear and shoes. On the wall hung a bird cage, which contained a dead
 canary The fact that the bird was
 dead leads to the theory that chloro form had been administered, as there was an ample supply of food in the ! cage for the birds sustenance during the three days from the time of the death until the body was discovered by | Gruff
 | It was thought at first to be a case of suicide, but later developments have entirely exploded that theory. | Two persons Al Bull and G. Morello | have been arrested, charged with hav- | ing knowledge of the girls death. 1t | developed at the coroner's inquest that while there were no outward indica- | tions of violence there was strong proof of the girl having been injured, and the | jury so found. It was also asserted | by witnesses that Bull and Morello | were seen to enter the house on We'd
 nesday, the day that Miss Strawn IS
 supposed to have met her death.
 Bull was recently divorced from his
 wife she bringing the action. It is also said that Bull had of late been paying considerable attention to Miss Strawn, and it is thought he secured the girls
 confidence and that he was the visitor l she referred to when she asked to be excused from school.
 The supposition is that Bull took Mo-
 rello along with him, and that by ad-
 ministering a drug they succeeded in
 killing her.
 Public feeling is strong against the
 prisoners, and should the fact be es-
 tablished beyond any reasonable doubt that they were the cause of Maud l Strawn's death there will probably be
 double lynching.
