Place Where the Collision DC.
Cured the Scene of Many
Disasters.

PORT HURON, Mich, May 22.-The
steamer Florida of the Lackawanna line,
bound from Chicago to Buffalo with
grain and general merchandise, was
sent to the bottom of Lake Huron by
collision with the steamer George w.
Roby at 8 a. M, between Middle island
and Presque isle. The crew of the
Florida were all rescued by the Roby,
which steamer being badly damaged.
turned back, arriving here Friday morn
ing.
1t was very foggy at the time of the
collision. The two steamers exchanged
passing signals, but they had not sighted
each other in time To avoid coming to-
gether. Captain William Smith, who
is i'll command of the Roby, states that
when he first sighted the Florida through
the fog, he stopped and backed his
engines, but the I'VE boats We're so close
together that it was impossible to avoid
the crash.
The Roby struck the Florida on the
starboard side about amidships. A hole
IL feet long was cut in that steamers
wooden side. 1t was instantly seen that
it vas only a question of minutes be-
fore the Florida would go down. The
Roby steamed alongside the doomed
boat and took off part Of her crew. The
remainder of the crew had Instantly
lowered the yawl boat and had sue
ceeded in getting free Of the sinking
steamer. They were picked up subse-
quently by the Roby.
In about IL minutes after the crash,
the Florida went to the bottom, sinking
stern first and breaking in two about
amidships. As she went down the i'm
prisoned air in her hull blew off the cab,
ms and upper works. This debris is
now scattered over the surface of the
lake and had been reported by several
steamers which had passed through it.
The Roby was badly damaged i'll the
bow and will 60 into dry dock here.
The cargo of the Florida consisted OF
5000 bushels of wheat and about SO
tons of merchandise. Most of the latter
was -four, shipped by Chicago and
Western millers.' Between 80 and 4(
mills were represented in this item
The loss on the cargo is estimated a,
about $50 1000. 80
The place where the collision occurred
has been the scene of many marine dis
asters, and there is probably not 8
square mile ON the bottom of the lake il
that region without one or more wrecks
which have been caused by collision
1t is at the point where the great high
ways Of lake III between Lake
Michigan and Lake Superior converge
The last big collision in that vicinit-
resulted in the loss of the steel steamer
Norman.

w. G.. T. u. COLUMN.

The Chicago Presbytery has lately
passed the following resolutions:
1--WE regard the drink traffic, however
conditioned by law, as a heinous sin
against God, as a deadly foe to society
and to good government.
"Inasmuch as it has come to the
knowledge Of this committee that there
are within some OF the churches OF the
Presbytery members who rent or lease
their property for saloon purposes, this
P~resbytery hereby directs the sessions
Of the churches to make prompt and
thorough investigation as to whether
there are any such members in their
respective churches, and in case any
such are found, it shall be the, duty Of
the session Of hat church promptly to
call the offender or offenders to justice
according to The provisions of Presby-
terrain law.
1--WE believe in, and do hereby put
ourselves on record AS %favoring the utter
determination Of the saloon by the pow
or Of public opinion, Christian consci-
ence, ana the strong hand of the civil
law"
The last Of these resolutions was in
troduced@ on motion Of Dr.. Herrlck
Johnson and passed unanimously.
That P~resbytery has decided that to
rent property for imIuoral purposes, is OF
itself immoral.

seducer Of the sober and unsuspecting.
Mr.. Small does not, however, wish to be
called a temperance man. "Once 1t was
honor able," he says, ITO be called a tenn
perance man, but since the distillers,

solved they are temperance men, l re.
