WRECK OF MORGAN CITY.
Fortunate Circumstance Saved the Down

Fortunate Circumstance Saved the Down
ing OF a sh,pIoad of Soldiers.
Washington, Sept. Interesting
details are at hand of the wreck of the
American transport Morgan City. in the
inland sea of Japan. 1t appears that
it came very near being an appalling
catastrophe. Striking upon a reef at
/, in the morning, the ship remained
fast until daylight, when by adopting
the expedient of rushing the men alter
nately from one side to the other. the
ship was rolled from the rocks into the
deep water, where she at once began
to fill rapidly.
She headed for the shore of the island
If Inoshima, several miles distant,
sinking perceptibly with every yard of
progress. She reached the beach but.
aminute before otherwise going under.
The discipline of the men was admir-
able. and all were gotten ashore safely
The seamanship shown appears not to
nave been so admirable, as no precau-
tons were taken to make the bows fast
to the shore after Bleaching. The day
was spent in removing stores, the
transport lying very nearly bows under,
but we'll afioat in the afterpart. Late
in the afternoon, without warning,
she slid off the steep beach and sank
in about six fathoms
Had the vessel been a short distance
further from the shore, most all on
board would have been drowned

suit of which is to create trust or
monopoly.
by recognizing that trusts are
usually composed of corporations, and
that corporations are but creatures of
the law, and can only exist in the place
of their creation, and cannot migrate
to another sovereignty without the
consent of that sovereignty, and that
this consent may be withheld when
desired, we recommend as the sense of
this conference, that each state pass
laws providing that no corporation
which is a member of any pool or trust
in that state or elsewhere, can do bust
ness in that state.

this conference that all the capital
stock of private corporations should be
fully paid. either first, in lawful money
or second. in property of the actual
cash value of the amount of the capital
stock, and in all private corporations
with "a capital stock issued in excess
of the amount actually paid up as
above; provided, the shareholders shall
be liable to the extent of twice the face
value of the stack held by each.

A deep gloom was cast over the Good
Templars convention Saturday mora
ing as well as over the entire COM
'nunity upon learning of the death of
Fred Windell, eldest son of Mr. and
Mrs. Thomas Windell,) member of
the Castalia Lodge who died suddenly
Friday evening, March 3lst, at his
home three miles east of town. Only
a few days before he was among us as
well and healthy as any one, but that
dreadful disease, spinal meningitis,
seized him and although medical aid
did all it could for his recovery it was
in vain. Fred was boy beloved by
all who knew him, kind, industrious,
strictly honest, temperate in all his
habits, affectionate in all the home
ties, obliging and above all faithful to
every duty. His loss will be felt very
keenly in the lodge as well as in the
home. He was born June Sth, 1850
and with the exception of few years
the family lived in Kansas, he has
grown to manhood among us. The
funeral was held from the u. B. church
this city, Sunday afternoon, Rev. j.
@. Dickensheets officiating, the Good
Templars turning out in body and
marching to the cemetery where they
performed the last sad rites of respect
they could show an esteemed member;
