steamer Cambria wrecked.

The steamer Cambria, of the Detroit,
Windsor e. 500 line. which left Detroit
with $50 passengers for Georgian bay
and Sault Ste. Marie, was wrecked in
Lake Huron, three miles north of SIr-
MIA, Ont. A very heavy sea was roll
ing when the Cambria entered the
lake about a. IN. and Capt. Hill
decided to turn back TO Sarnia.
When within a few miles of that port
the steamer ran upon raft of logs
which had broken loose from the tug
Vigilant In the storm, and the result
was that the Cambria's paddles were
broken and the cylinder head blew out
leaving the boat in total darkness and
at the mercy of the waves. She was
driven upon the shore and ut day
light the passengers were landed
in boats and taken to Sarnia. During
the night panic among the passengers
was narrowly averted several times,
but they were finally cooled down SO
that they dressed and got their bag
gage together.
The Cambria was badly strained, but
will not be a total loss. She was built
at Point Lewis, Que, in 1877, was re-
built in 1888 when she was heightened
50 feet, and she was remodeled again
in 1889. She was valued at Sl7, 900 aud
insured for $4,000.

An Aged Lovers Bloody Crime.

N. N. James, aged so. shot and prob
ably mortally wounded Martha Minor,
aged 81, and then killed himself at the
home of Chas. Gadd, farmer of Bridge
water township, Leuawee county. Mr..
Gadd says that he rose at a. IN. and
called Martha Minor, who answered,
and then he went TO the barn. Upon
his return, not finding the girl, he
called her again and received very
weak reply. Mr.. Gadd then pushed
her door open and saw James lying
upon his back upon the floor and
Martha Minor lying across him. Call
ing his son, Charles, they found ia mes
to be dead and the woman seriously
wounded from pistol shots. DIR. j. L..
Tuttle, of Clinton, was summoned, but
as the wound is in the girls rig>t tenn
pie there are only slight hopes for her
recovery. James probably died in
stantly.
The girl says that James had been
calling to see her quite frequently and
that for two days and nights before
the tragedy she had secreted him in
her room. No cause for the shooting
is known.

The action of u. Stand Commits

Marquette land office the contest be-
tween the Michigan Land aud Iron Co.
aud the settlers will cause an open
court contest for SO, 900 acres of land
aud may jeopardize the title to nearly
10 times that much.
The land claimed by the Michigan
Land and Iron Co. is the old Marquette,
Houghton & Ontonagon railroad grant
which was given TO aid the construc-
ton of line from Marquette to On
tonagon back in 1851. 1t consists OF
10000 acres. Since passing TO the
new corporation its title has been in
dispute and settlers have squatted on
$4,000 acres of the best honesteads.
The company tried to GUST them
through the land Office at Marquette,
but it was referred to Washington.
Hoke Smith, cretary OF the interior
under Cleveland, decided against the
settlers, but now the present admins
tration returns the matter TO the Mar
quette land office and requires all the
settlers to be notified and the company
will have to prove in court that it
comes under the railroad grant con-
frmatory act passed in 1887. The set
tiers claim it will be impossible for
the company to do this aud are already
rejoicing in their victory.
