Toledo, O., Oct. l6.-The steamer w.
p. Ketcham ran down the little schoon-
er Typo in Lake Huron Saturday morn
ing. The Typo was instantly sunk and
four of the crew were drowned. Their
names follow:
Adams. Mrs. cook.
Carr. Dan, seaman.
Campbell, John, seaman.
Ledford Henry, mate of the Typo.
The captain of the vessel and three
seamen managed to escape from the
wreck and were picked up by the ketch-
am. The Ketcham was bound down
from Chicago to Buffalo with a cargo
of grain. The Typo was met off Middle
island, near Alpena, at four o'clock Sat-
urday morning. The impact of the two
boats which sunk the smaller one only
resulted in a few scratches on the
steamers cabin. After picking up the
survivors the Ketcham continued her
voyage and put in at Harbor Beach.
Port Huron, Oct. 16.-The steamer w.
p. Ketcham, which sunk the schooner
Typo in collision off Middle island, Lake
Huron, Saturday morning, arrived
down Sunday noon. On board were Capt.
John Griffin, of the Typo, and two sea-
men, who were rescued. According TO
their story the Typo was bound for RAJ
cine with a cargo of coal. The wind
was blowing at the rate of Is miles an
hour from the northwest. The cap
tain was in charge of the deck. He

him, but as his vessel had the right
of way over a steamboat he held on his
course until the collision was inev-
liable. Then he called the watch below
and started the men getting ready to
save themselves. The big steamer
crashed into the schooner at the miz-
zen rigging on the port side. a big
hole was made, through which the wa
ter poured into the hold. One sailor
caught the line from the Ketcham as
she struck and scrambled over the
steamers side. The captain, with the
others, launched the yawl and all got
into it, Before they could shove clear
of the wreck the schooner went down,
overturning the yawl. All hands were
thrown into the water. Only the cap
tain and one sailor kept afioat until
help reached them.
The Typo was owned by Hiram Hen
derson, of Cleveland, o., and was run
by Capt. Griffin, of this city. She was
on her way to Racine with a load of
coal from Sandusky. The crew of the
Typo so far as can be learned are resi-
dents of this city. The Typo was one of
the best of the old canal schooners and
was in excellent condition, having been
rebuilt especially for lake trade last
winter at Black Rock. She was worth
$4,000, and it is thought the insurance
will only partly cover the loss.

HAVE BECOME A PEST.
BIackbirds by the Thousands Greatly
Annoy the Residents
of Adrian.

Adrian, Oct. 16.-All summer long
large hocks of blackbirds have made
their headquarters in bunch of large
maple trees on a street at Adrian.
Every evening they would assemble
there, and from sundown until long
after dark the noise would be almost
deafening, ana at daybreak would be-
gin again and continue for several
hours. With the approach of winter the
colony has been largely augmented,
ard now thousands of the birds make
the place their lodgings. Their noise
can be heard for blocks in every direc-
ton, and is very annoying. Efforts
have been made to dislodge them, but
the foliage of the trees is so thick that
one cannot take aim with shotgun
sufficiently accurate to be effective.

Detroit, Oct. Estate Railroad Com
missioner Osborn has filed a petition in
The Wayne circuit court for a manda-
mus TO compel the Wabash Railroad
company to reduce its rate of fare f 'm

railroad law of Michigan which pro-

Farmers in northwestern Oakland
county ought not to have any trouble
in disposing of all their apples. The
cider factory at Holly is using five car
loads every day in the week, or over
5000 bushels.
Justice Dyer f. Webber, of Charlotte,
claims TO be the oldest odd fellow in
Michigan. He was initiated into lodge

Mrs. Frank G. Ives has arrived at
Grand Rapids, where she spent the
winter. She says her husband sank

the harbor of Progresso, Mexico.
For many years the potato crop has
been one of the best paying branches
of farming around Highland Station,
but this year il will average over 40
bushels to the acre, and very small po-
tatoes at that. The yield is the small
est ever known in that locality.
The Belleville Enterprise says that
the game law is being openly violated
in that vicinity. Not only are quail
being slaughtered in large numbers,
but the river bank is lined with steel
traps to catch muskrats, which are pro-

There is a certain farmer in Rose
township, Oakland county, who can af-
ford to keep his buildings well painted
without having to figure on the cost.
He has found a large bed of mineral
paint on his farm, and all that is need
ed to make it ready for use is to mix it
with linseed oil.
The extremely cold weather of last
winter seems to have been blessing
in disguise to the fruit growers of
Oceana county, who, it is said, have
made more money this year out or
peaches, plums and apples than ever be-
fore. BY reducing the crop of peaches
and plums the cold weather sent prices
skyward, while the same freezing
weather resulted in an immense yield
of apples.
Farmers of Benzie county are making
a great success of raising Holland cab
bages. This year a number of buyers
are in the field, for the crop, and prices
have risen to ten dollars per ton from
$3.50. AS the yield is about ten tons to
the acre, the profit to the farmers will
be enormous, as a new machine for
planting the cabbage greatly lessened
the expense of raising them this year.
One farmer has refused $4,000 for his
field of 26 acres, and buyers can secure
but few contracts at ten dollars per
ton.

Kansas Girl Gives Up $50, 900 to
Wed Her Soldier Lover.

Love Wins.

Miss Agnes Derry values Private John
Kenny, a Twentieth Kansas hero, at
more than $4,000. She has relin-
quished that sum in order that she may
become the wife of the crippled soldier
boy who followed the fortunes of the
intrepid Funston in the Philippines.
Kenny came home the other day and
found his sweetheart faithful to him,
and they will shortly be married.
Considering the hardships which Miss
Derry has undergone, there is wonder
that she has not given him up long ago.
When Private Kenny enlisted and went
away the girls father heard that they
were TO be married when he came back,
SO he sent the girl away and no one
knew her address, that the soldier in
far-away lands might not know but that
she had committed suicide, deserted
him or married another.
But finally Miss Derry escaped from
her watchers and wrote letter to the
soldier telling him all about her
troubles. Then came a long letter from
him, which the father captured. He
went to his daughter and told her she
would be thrown out of his house un-
less she quit writing TO Kenny, and
that If they were married he would
disinherit her. But this did nc good.
They kept up communication, and late
ly the old man died. The girl is cut off
in his will If she marries Kenny, who
Is wounded and unable to earn a living.
The fortune she will lose is over $50, 900,
but the engagement of the couple has
been announced Just the same.
