ton consolidate the Recorder and Meth
odist Protestant into one strong paper.
Rev. Mr.. McElroy, professor of theology
in Adrian college, who has served in
the college since its founding 81 years

sionary superintendent, opposing get
ting mail at post offices Sundays and
establishing a journal
for young people.
In the evening the secretary-treas-
urer read her report, comprising
compilation of reports from the unions.
So much objection was made from un-
reported districts that the report was
withheld. President Whitehead closed
the meeting with review of work for
the year.

Ann Arbor, June 12.-Plans are about
completed for expanding the $20.000
appropriation recently made by the
legislature to the Michigan university
for an electric light plant. The money
will be used for two 60-kilo Watts
dynamos for lighting purposes and one
500-volt dynamo for power purposes.
This latter will displace three engines
now in use in the laboratories. \ small
plant at the hospital will also be pro-
yided for, one of the engines displaced
by electricity in the physical laboratory
being used to run it. The campus will

Marquette, June 12.-R. A. Wilson, SUI
perintendent of the electric light plant
in this city, is said to have made a
find which is apt to cause an upheaval
in the electrical world. Mr.. Wilson, it
is alleged, has discovered a complete
model of an electric lighting plant,
made by an eccentric inventor, John
Ingalls,. which has lain in disuse since
1887, and has just been unearthed in
perfect working order. BY it light
similar TO the incandescent bulb is said
to be obtained without the use of

waves of electrical energy forced

WRECKED VESSEL LOCATED.
The Pewnbic, Lost ~ Years Ago I'm
Thunder HnY. EOund.

Alpena, June 12.-After 30 years
search the copper-laden steamer Pc
wabic, which collided with sister
ship, the Meteor, off Thunder Bay is
land, has been discovered py the steam
er Root wrecking expedition, lying on
the bottom seven miles east in Thun-
der bay. A diver in patent diving
bell found the Pewabic lying upright
on her bottom in 100 feet of water. Her
head was pointing out. Capt. Smith
says the work of getting out the cargo
will be begun at once.
There is great excitement here over
the discovery, as there is not only 267
tons of copper, which constituted part
OF her cargo, in the hold, but consider
able coin. The copper is at present
valued at about $4,000. Arrangements
with the Home and Aetna companies,
which held the insurance, assure the
wrcckers of 90 per cent. of all property
recovered.
Scores of wreclling expeditions have
been formed at various times in the
past to search for her, and thousands
of dollars have been spent in both
dragging the bottom where she was
supposed to have gone down, and in
diving.
The Pewabic was fine passenger
steamer, bound from Lake Superior,
with about $50 souls on BOARD, includ
ing the crew. She sank in few min
utes after colliding, carrying down 12j
passengers. The night was clear and
the surface of the lake like glass. Pas
sengers were enjoying dancing and
card playing, assisted by some of the
officers of the boat, and the boat went
down so quickly that few had time to
save themselves. At the time it was
said the collision was due to careless
ness. The night was SO beautiful it
was thought no harm would come to
run close and exchange mail with the
Meteor. Accordingly the boats steered
close together and were drawn together
by suction. The coin on board was
in gold in the purser's safe, but the
exact amount was never known. 1t
is said by some to have amounted to
100000. The copper cargo is worth $780,
900 and the Pewabic cost $200,000
