steamer Florida Sunk In Lake Huron.
The steamer Florida, of the Lacka-
wanna line, bound from Chicago to
Buffalo with grain and general mer-
shandise, was sent to the bottom of
Lake Huron by collision with the
steamer George w. Roby, upbound and
light, be tween Middle island and Pres
que Isle. The crew of the Florida
were all rescued by the Roby, which
steamer. being badly damaged, turned
back and put in at Port Huron. 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 together. In about IL minutes
after the crash the Florida went to the
bottom, sinking stem first and break
ing in two about amidships. AS she
went down the imprisoned air in her
hull blew off the cabin and upper
works. The Roby was badly damaged
in the bow,and will go into drydock
there. So quickly had the Florida TO
be abandoned by her crew in their
hurried fight for life that they were
unable to save any of their personal
belongings, all their effects being
abandoned in their cabins. The loss
Du the Florida's cargo is placed at $780,
BOO and the steamer was valued at
500, 900, insured for $4,000.

Gave His Daughter Poison.

W. p. Person recently lost his place
in the freight department of the Santa
Fe railway at Los Angeles. His efforts
to secure employment were vain, and
he wrote to a friend named Ball that
he would kill his 8-year.old daughter
and himself.
Person then detailed his plan to his
daughter. He told her that she would
be able to see her mother, who is dead,
if she took poison with him. She did
not want to die, but, thinking she must
obey her father, drank the carbolic acid
he gave her. Person then took prussic
acid.
Ball arrived just as Person was gasp
ing his last breath. The girl, whose
tongue and throat were burned, was
taken to a hospital and her life saved.
