WIND AND RAIN.
They Cause Much Damage in Michi-
gan-LOss in Vicinity of KaIa-
mazoO About 100000.

Kalamazoo, Mich, July 9. The
worst wind and rainstorm for so years
swept over southern Michigan late
Saturday afternoon, dong damage
over an area extending from Hastings,
30 miles north to ten miles south of
here. The wind twisted and whirled
through the center of this city, wreck
ing score of mammoth oak and
maple trees in Bronson and West
street parks. Half the streets in the
city were made impossible by the
fallen trees. The Michigan Traction
company's lines were put out of serv-
ice by trolley wires being broken.
The Michigan telephone lines in the
city were wrecked and all state lines
were put out of service.
Accompanying the wind was cloud
burst throughout the Kalamazoo River
valley, causing a flow of water two
feet deep in the main streets, flooding
many cellars. All the creeks rose
with great rapidity, inundating all
lowlands and causing great damage to
the famous Kalamazoo celery crop.
The damage is estimated at 100000,
one-fourth of this being on the celery
crop. Arcadia creek, where ordinarily
there is but stream foot wide and
six inches deep, was a raging flood 20
rods wide and ten feet deep in half
an hour

FAMOUS BOAT CAPsIzEs.
Yacht IdIer Goes Down i'm Lake Erie
and Six Persons Are
Drowned.

Cleveland, o., July e.-The famous
schooner-yacht Idler is drifting half
submerged on Lake Erie 16 miles off
this port, and in her cabin are the
bodies of six persons, members of the
family of James Corrigan, owner of
the boat and wealthy vessel man of
this city. The dead are:
Mrs. James Corigan wife of the owner
of the boat: Miss Jane Corrigan, aged 20.
daughter of James Corrigan; Ida May
Corrigan, aged Is. daughter of James Cor
rigan; Eta Corrigan, aged Is, daughter
of John corrigan; Mrs. Charles Reilly,
aged %. daughter of James Corrigan;
Baby Reilly, daughter of Mrs. Reilly.
Mrs. John Corrigan was the only
passenger aboard who was saved. C..
II. Holmes, the captain; Samuel Big
gam, the mate, four sailors, two cooks
and the ship carpenter were also
saved. The yacht left Port Huron
Friday with the family of Mr.. Corri-
gan aboard and started to Cleveland.
Mr.. Corrigan was i'll and left by train.
The yacht was in tow until she
reached Bar Point, when the captain
left her tow and turned the yacht for
Cleveland. At two o'clock the storm
came up, and inside of five minutes
the Yacht sank All the women eN-
cepting Mrs. John Corrigan and Miss
Eta Corrigan were in the cabin when
the gale came up. They became panic
stricken and refused to leave the
place. The mate implored them to
come to the deck, but they refused
Mrs. John Corrigan chung TO a cork
sofa when the gale came and was
saved.
According to the testimony of sew
eral sailors, the topsail, mainsail and
lib were all set when the storm came
up. This is denied by Biggam, the
mate, who declares that they were in
good condition to face the storm.
Capt. James Corrigan declared Sat
urday night that good seamanship
could have averted the tragedy. He
is almost frenzied with grief.
The Idler was launched in 1865 at New
Haven, Conn, being built originally for
s j, Colgate, who intended to use the
yacht for racing as well as cruising pur-
poses, and for several years spent the
yachting season in southern waters. IL
was iUO ISeI over dilI ptlliS ~ ISNi w
the water line and p feet beam. It's
tonnage was 1926. June II, 1870, the Idler
became the most famous yacht in Amer
lean waters and was known all over the
yachting world for winning and defend
ing the American cup. Eleven schooners
took part in the race and the Idler ran
away from the fleet and won easily. Aft
err that the Idler rested on its laurels
and for a few seasons was used mainly
for cruising purposes on the coast. In
1876 Colgate again raced the yacht in
several regattas, the most famous of
which were the races for the Brenton reef
cup which the yacht won, and the fol-
lowing year in September the Idler won
the Cape May race cup. defeating large
number of yachts. In 1882 A. ]. Fisher,
of the Chicago Yacht club, purchased
the schooner and brought it to Chicago
where it became the best known of all
yachts on the lake, and for a time was
the only large private yacht in use.

years administration of national af-
fairs, as it was of his administration
of Buckeye state affairs. From such
information as comes to the CONNER
cial Tribune, as the leading republican
newspaper of Mr.. McKinley's home
state. there is but one conclusion to be
drawn. namely, that all his supporters
of four years ago continue to be his
supporters to-day, and that their num-
Der will be found to be considerably
augmented when the election returns
of next November shall have been
counted. His conduct of the Spanish
American war, displaying, as it did, the
loftiest patriotism, combined with the
wisest craftsmanship, has received the
general Endorsement of all of our peo-
pie, irrespective of party, and this.
taken in conjunction with the fulfill
ment of the promises of the St. Louis
platform on the financial and indus
trial problems. confirms the belief of
this section that it would be the part
of wisdom to give William Mckinley a
second term. If the party will speak
