LAKE SHIPPING SUFFERS.
A Furious Gale PrevniIs-Two Vessels
Bs8a known to Have Foundered
s MANY Lives Lost. (

Cleveland, o. Sept. 13.-The tail end
|of the West Indian hurricane which
swept over Lake Erie Tuesday night
proves to have been the most disas-
trous storm that has visited this sec
ton in several years. The wind at
vone time attained a velocity. of 60
miles an hour, and it was then blow
ing directly from the west, having
practically5a4clea sweep Of the whole
lake. Dispatches begin to tell of the
shipping disasters that resulted from
the gale. At$least two vessels were
sunk, carrying down with them sew
eral persons, and a number of other
vessels have reached port in a badly
damaged condition. =
The John B. Lyon, a 255-foot steam
er owned by JsgC. Gilchrist, of this
city, %foundered about five miles off
C%onneaut, o., and. all, but two of her
crew of 16 We're lost. The schooner
Dundee sank about Is miles off this
port and the cook, a woman, was
drowned, the master and crew escap-
ing on a raft.
The steamer City Of Erie, with 300
passengers aboard, left Buffalo at
seven o'clock Tuesday evening. A
moderate wind was blowing at the
time. When off the port of Conneaut
the steamer was struck by the ter
rife westerly gale that had begun
blowing. Sheitencountered a tidal
wave which went clear over the bull
warks, smashing some of the upper
works. The engine was slowed down
and the steamer headed for the Cana
dian shore for safety. She arrived
here at four o'clock Wednesday after
noon, ten hours late, with all her
passengers safe.
Milwaukee, Sept. 1a.-Battered and
damaged, the Flint and Pere Mar
quette No. 4, of the Pere Marquette
line, arrived in port here Wednesday
morning, after one of the narrowest
escapes from disaster ever expert
enced by a passenger steamer on the
lake. Thirty of her passengers were
more or less injured on the trip, while
a number received injuries which are
quite serious. Almost every window
in her cabin was broken, while the
cabin was one mass of broken tim
bers, broken chairs and pieces OF
glass. af9gJ y, Fs6.a7rat
To make matters worse her life
RATS blew to pieces and it was parts
of them which pierced the cabin win
dows and blew into the boat causing
the injuries to the passengers. Of the
passengers there is not one prob
ably who did not feel some incon-
v%enience from the trip, while over so
were struck by flying timbers and
trunks. III

A boxing match in a New York ath-
letic house resulted in the pounding
OF one young man so that his life was
,despaired OF. This is not unusual in
clubhouse boxing matches. But the
great point is that the victor was
practically without scientific train
ing. This shows what unaided native
ability can do. True, with a careful
training he might have killed his man
on the spot, but even without train
ing he came SO near it that all am
bilious young men who are SO situated
as to be deprived of scientific prepara-
ton must feel encouraged.

Poor Snort.

Chicken shooting in North Dakota
is unusually poor this year and many
explanations are offered for this con-
dition of affairs. Game Warden Bow
crs of Fargo says the prairie chickens
were Matched about two weeks earlier
this year than usual and they punched
in larger aocks. This, together with
the scarce cover. has made them wary
and harder to get than in former
years. A good many seem to have
been preyed upon by hawks and ami
mails. Duck shooting is going to be
poor this year also.

STRIKE is ORDERED.
Executive Board Orders Anthracite
Miners to Quit Work Next
Monday.

Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 13.-At 5:15
o'clock Wednesday afternoon Presi-
dent Mitchell and Secretary Wilson, Of
the United Mine Workers of America,
affixed their signatures to the docu-
ment which will call $4,000 miners of
the Pennsylvania anthracite region
from their work Monday morning and
precipitate n of the most gigantic
strikes in the history of the labor
world. The document was the official
Endorsement of the request of the an
thracite districts to strike. It was
considered by the national executive
board of the mine workers last week,
and when the board adjourned all
power to indorse the request for the
strike was left in the hands Of the ma
tional president and secretary. The
official order to strike has been sent
the three presidents of Pennsylvania
districts. =s f.2 .r@f-
The three district presidents re-
ported Wednesday afternoon that of
the >143 900 men in the three districts
134,5oo would go on a strike Monday.
President Mitchell would not state
what secret influences were at work
to prevent the strike and which caused
the delay. This strike will for the
time being terminate operations in
the most productive hard coal field
in the world. Should the strike CON
tinue over a period of two months, the
loss in wages will amount to $780,
600; loss to railroads, $40, 900, 900, and
loss to mine operators, $40, 900 1000. Of
fcers of the miners union estimate
that the organization has a cash bal
ance of $1,000 900 in the treasury with
which to conduct the strike. ~ VA
In their demands the miners ask
the correction of many evils, the more
important of which are the following:
Abolition of the company stores, reduc-
tion in the price of powder to S1.50 a keg,
abolition of company doctors, semi-month-
ly payment of wages, abolition Of the slid
Ing scale, wages paid in cash, 2,24O pounds
to the ton, an advance Of 20 per cent. in
wages less h $1.50 and not exceeding
$1.75 a day, that all classes of day labor
now receiving $1.50 and not exceeding SITS
shall receive Is per cent. over present
wages. that all day labor now receiving
$1.75 shall be advanced 10 per cent, that
no miner shall have at any time more than
one breast, gang or other class of work,
and shall get only his legal share of cars.
