PHILADELPHIA, Sept Through the
building of great ocean going steamers and
furnishing the capital to operate them
Philadelphia is now taking a hand in the
development of trade between the western
shores of this country and the isles of the
Pacific.
In 1899 the Oceanic Steamship Line of
J. D. Spreckels & Co, the sugar refiners
OF this city, was organized and three yes
sells were built by the Cramps to ply be
tween San Francisco and Sydney, New
South Wales, Australia. Since that time
the trade in those waters has greatly in
creased.
To meet the demands of the trade the
Sprecl1els have ordered three mammoth
steamers of Cramps-the Sierra, the So
ncma, and the Ventura. The first of these
will be completed by October and the 9th
er two will be ready for business in De
center and February
They are of 7.240 tons burden 450 feet
over all, carry 400 passengers, $50 crew, and
1000 tons OF freight. Their fittings will
be palatfal and as the voyage will take
twenty days, reduction of four days over
the time now made. they will be supplied
with every comfort and diversion known
to the modern shipbuiIder
The company is under contract to carry
the English mails. as their steamers make
better time, by a week, on this route than
those which traverse the Red Sea.

men were taking away surface dirt in
order to get ssndpit in the north end
of this place this forenoon they run
across skeleton. It was discovered
about three feet under the surface and
appears to be that of an Indian chief
1t measured about six feet four inches
in length and was surrounded by Ind
ian relics, which led to the conclusion
that it was that of some leader among
the Indian tribes of long ago.
Among the relatives was silver cross
and around this were q number of
beads, indicating that the cross had
been strung with the beads. There
were also copper instruments and other
relics of an interesting character. The
skeleton was in very good condition
and hundreds of people have been at
tracted to the spot to view IL. IL has
been decided to present the skeleton
and the relics to the Northern indiana
Historical society, of South Bend. The
people here feel that the society is in q
position to place the find where it can
be seen by many people and be re.

Marshall County independent. (Plymouth, Marshall County, Ind.) 1897-1902, 1900-09-21

The funeral of Jerry Blsin, whose
death was reported in Saturdays Inde-
pendent, was held Monday morning
at Mr.. Blsin's late residence on the
East Side. The following Is a detailed
sketch of his life.
The deceased was born in Seneca
county, near Ovid, in the state of New
York, May Z, 1874 When be was but
two and half years old, his parents,
who were farmers, moved to LenOway
county, Michigan, and settled on a
farm near Adrian, making the trip
with horses and wagon. At this time
the other members of the family were
John Blain end Mrs Charles Cooper, of
this city. After number of years on
the farm, Mr.. Blain, as an apprentice,
learned the blacksmiths' trade, and
during the year 1858 he was employed
in the Lake Shore shops at Hillsdsle,
Mich.
In 1859 Gideon Blsin, father of the
deceased, moved to Plymouth and,
with his two sons-J Ohm and Jerry,
established q drug and boot and shoe
business. Later, they added groceries
to the stock, and the grocery and drug
stores located on the corner of Mich
igsn and CAIRO streets, now owned by
Will Suit and Charles Shaded, were for
many years conducted by them under
the firm name of G. Blsin & Co.; but,
later, the grocery store was disposed of
and in 1879 the management of the
drug store was assumed bv John and
Jerry Blsin, who continued in partner
ship until 1885, when the deceased re-
tired from active business.
Mr.. Blain had been married twice
first to Miss A lice ID. Work, in 1861,
who died III 1892 In 1895 be was mar
ried to Miss Julia E. Kline, of Van
Vert, O.
Those OF his nearest relatives who
are left to mourn his death are. His
wife and infant son; his daughter, Mrs.
Emma Altman, of this city; his sisters,
Mrs Charles Cooper, of Plymouth, and
Mrs. James Woodrow, of Kansas City;
his brother, John Blsin, of Plymouth.
During residence of IL yesrs in this
community, Uncle Jerry, as he was
lovingly known by hundreds of his
young friends, acquired high standing
in both the social and business world.
He was man who made no enemies,
for he possessed so genuine an interest
in the good fortune of all that enmity
toward another found no place in his
makeup. He was endowed with all
the sterling qualities which are found
in the highest type of men. Honesty
of purpose animated all his acts, and
his integrity had never been asssiled.
Wherever he went, his genial spirit
carried sunshine. lie was the kindest,
most lovsble of men and to his friends
one thought brings cOnsolation-his
life was a success. ~
