MILWAUKEE,, Sept 12.-Steamer No.
of the Pere Marquette line, which left
Holland, Mich, yesterday afternoon for
Milwaukee with over 300 passengers,
reached Milwaukee this morning. The
passengers had an awful experience and
some of them sustained serious injuries
from being thrown about the steamer as
1t was buffeted by the wind and waves.
Prayers of thanksgiving went up
from the lips of every passenger when
land was finally sighted. Probably no
steamer ever went through q wilder
night on the lake and survived. Almost
every window in the cabin was broken,
while the cabin was one mass of broken
timbers, broken chairs and general de-
bris. The life RATS were blown to
pieces and hurled through the windows
of the cabin, where were congregated
all the passengers. Scarcely one es-
capped injury. The weather was not Sc

Lightning's Franks

Scarcely does week go by that we
are not called upon to chronicle the
destruction wrought by a storm OF
some sort. Lightning has been the
chief factor in the many losses that
have been recorded within the past
several weeks. Monday nights storm
appears to have been equal in dis
Effectiveness to those which preceded
it. From all around us come reports
of property losses. AT Saltwater,
lightning struck large barn on the
Joseph F. McHenry property, con-
suming the building with all of Its
contents, consisting of the crops. One
horse was SO badly burned that 1t had
to be killed The building was locat-
ed near the B. & S. station. The
tenant on the farm is Oscar ID. Hagen
buch, Mr.. McHenry's son-ln-law. The
property is SAID to have been insured.
Henry Smith of near Nescopeck also
suffered the loss of barn and con-
tents.

Israel Maier, of Danville, is in the

"Deputy United States Marshal
Joseph Stewart, of Williamsport, came
to this city Yesterday afternoon and
took into custody Israel Maler, the
we'll known clothier.
The charge against Mr.. Maier, it
is said, is the il!egitimate use of the
United States mail, and, it is alleged,
that he wrote a number of objection
able letters to his wife, who lives in
Sunbury. Marshal Stewart took Mr..
Maier to Williamsport on the 4:35
Lackawanna train, where he will be
given a hearing before United States
Commissioner Bentley to-day.
The United States Circuit Court
convened in that city on Monday,
Judge Burlington, presiding, and it is
probable that Mr.. Maler's case will
be disposed of sometime during the
week.
