intent yesterday morning.
Moehrke at one time was in the en-

Moehrke retired and commenced

money, which made HIM desperate,

Bellalre, o., June l4.-Fhe lives of
three young ladies were blotted out
yesterday evening by lightning, while
on their way home from church at
Jacobsburg. Their names are Minnie

serted with equal emphasis that there is
nothing in the present or in the past condi-
ton of affairs i'm the islands which in the
remotest degree justifies such an allegation.
When Japanese first went to Hawaii In
considerable numbers, ii was in compliance
with the demand for labor upon the sugar
plantations. They went under the terms OF
q convention, made only after repeated
quests from the Hawaiian government, and
entered into somewhat reluctantly by
Japan. The convention is still I'm force but
can be abrogated upon due notice by either
party.

aLese government enacted a law by the
terms of which japanese subjects are per-
mitted to emigrate to those countries and

OF the country Of destination. Several COM

But neither the japanese minister, as stated
by Mr.. Thurston, nor other japanese off,

ness concerns, nor do these companies pro-
mote emigr ltion to Hawaii except in COM

APPEARANCE OF THE ECLIPSE AT ITS BEST.

Lake Huron in the face of a bowling gale
from the northwest against the prOtesta-
tions of the passengers. When out about
twelve miles the captain decided to run
back, and was within about three miles
of Fort Gratiot when the boat struck a
raft of logs in tow Of the tug Vigilant.
The shock threw the passengers out Of
their befths. and in an instant women and
children in sCant attire were rushing fran
tically about, while men became alarmed.
The passengers were assured by the Off
GERS, however that everything was all
right, and every one took time to get fully
dressed and await developments.
In trying to extricate herself the boat
lost her rudder, leaving her at the mercy
of the waves and amid thousands of logs
that were continually pounding her sides.
Shortly afteIward one Of her wheels was
also broken by striking a log, and she
was left in an entirely helpless condition
almost in midlake in total darkness. The
vessel then began to drift toward the
Canadian shore, and after half an hour
the boat struck the beach hard, and ca
reened over to one side with the waves
breaking over her The captain refused
to launch any boats until daybreak. Soon
after daybreak all passengers were taken
off in safety. women and children first be-
ing taken ashore. followed by the men,
and lastly by the crew. The wrecked yes-
sci was valued Ut SIT 900, and insured for
| $4,000. She was built in 1877 and re-
built in 1889.

cisco or Rio Janeiro, just as the shadow
of a tree cast upon house appears the
same from whatever point of view II Is
looked at A solar eclipse is caused by
the passage of the moon between us ana
the sun. To see it one must be so sltuat-
ed that the range is right, just as to see
a distant house exactly behind some near
object, as & tree, one must SO stanu tii''t
the tree is exactly in line with him ana
the house. If he moves from tins line, 10
the right or the left. the tree changes ITS
position with reference to the house, ana
when he has moved to n certain distance
it ceases altogether to range with the
house. In the case of n solar eclipse the
sun is the distant house: the moon is the
tree.
Since this moon is a comparatively small
body, only about 1000 miles in diameter,
while the diameter of the earth is nearly
5000 miles, there is upon the earth ample
room for getting off of the range when
the earth is passing the sun. Thus, to
an observer situated Thursday anywhere
OH the twenty-five mile line above To-
Gated, say at Havana, the moon appeared
to pass directly across the suns face,
its center moving along the line marked
on the diagram Moons Path in the di-
rection indicated by the arrow. One cir
cumstance only prevented the eclipse from
being total for that observer. and this was
that the moon being ut very nearly her
greatest distance from the earth. her ap-
parent size was at its least and showed
less than that of the sun.
For an observer at Washington the
range was different. To him the moons
center appeared to pass along the line
marked ALB, so that its upper limb just
reached the suns center. An observer
in about latitude SO was still farther off
of the range To him the moon, could 1t
be seen, would have seemed to move along
the line CD. Its upper edge would have
lust grazed the lower edge of the sun in
passing and there would have been no
eclipse. Much less could there be an
eclipse for an observer still farther north.
Away back i'm 1860 the last total eclipse
of the sun which was visible in this part
of the country took place. Since then.
however, there have been several total
eclipses which were visible from other
parts of the United States. The most
| notable of these was the eclipse of 1878.
| 1t was observed from the neighborhood
of Denver and was fruitful of scientific
results. Far more frequent are partial
ecIipses, the area which these cover being
| very wide. A total eclipse is rare oc-
currence. and it is not often that the
shadows from two of them are received by
the same locality in hundred years.

There was deliberate plot to wreck the
train. as a coupling pin had been driven
into the switch so as to hold it open and
throw the fast train off the track as it
passed that point. The engine and tender
and the mail. express and baggage cars
were thrown from the track and wrecked
The coaches and Wagner sleeping cars
remained on the track and none of the
passengers was seriously hurt, although
they had lively shaking up.
A relief train was sent from Indianapo-
lis to Thorntown and as soon as the track
was cleared n new train was made up foi
Cincinnati and the other points. The
train was unusually crowded with pas

The officials of the railroad have insti

perpetrators of the wreck. No attempt
was made to rob the express or other cars
after the wreck. and no understanding
of the plot can be ascertained.

MILLIONS IN SAVINGS.
Building and Loan Association
League Meets at Detroit.

~
The United States League of Building
Associations held its annual convention in
Detroit. President Michael +. Brown
read his annual address and Secretary
III. Il. Cellars of Cincinnati reported on
the condition of building association in
terests generally.
President Brown alluded to the organ
ization of the league year previous to
the Worlds Congress of Building and
Loan Associations at Chicago in 1893 and
recalled the motto then suggested by Pres
ident Dexter, viz: "The American Home;
the Safeguard of American Liberties,
which motto had been adopted by all the
leagues of the United States. The presi-
dent quoted statement of william
George Jordan that Uncle Sans people

a lighted lantern and Bauman was draw

the entire building was on fire before the

British Dominion virtually abandoned
their own claims. owing to the craze over
Elondyke hurried there and staked off
their claims, and are holding or working
them. This was early in the movement,
and consequently newcomers have to be
content with the leavings of the old men
i'm the work.
There are only four mining months
May, June. July and August-and even
then the ground never thaws out more
than two or two and one-half inches. The
rest of the year the soil is like n solid
rock. 1t is no unusual thing for the mer-
curry to fall 80 or % degrees below zero.
10 20 prospe citing before May or after
August is cut of the question, and in the
four months have named it is matter
of about three hours day. The coolest
we had ii last winter was % degrees be-
low zero, but mild as the weather was
for Alaska--it was quite cold enough to
make one feel the need of good, solid
food. Apropos of the living here. it is
well enough for them to say that there is
no lack of provisions. Actually the ma
tives and miners haven't the necessarics
of life, 10 say nothing of the comforts.
1t is impossible to get fresh meat. 1t is
simply matter of canned goods, and
these have to be bought from the trading
posts of the Alaska Commercial Com
pany or the American Transportation
Company, at the companies prices. and
they charge what they please. One dol
lar pound for -four, salaratus and pota-
toes Is the usual rate.
''Game has been utterly driven from the
mountains. Fish are frozen eight months
in the year. Once in n while you can get
fresh meat nj 80 cents pound. The fresh
meat used at our Christmas dinner. how
ever, cost $3.50 pound. There was gold
enough in the taste even TO make IL lie
n dead weight on the stomach. You can
readily see that an experienced miner here
has had to be successful in order Ia

foot il Is easy to imagine. i can see little
In store for the man who gets here after
