Lake Steamer Burns.

A dispatch from Houghton, Mich, says:
The passenger steamer Bon Voyage of
the White line, Duluth, burned to the
waters edge On the beach near the Lake
Superior ship canal. The crew and pas
sengers escaped in the boats except five of
the Altman family of Laurium, grand
mother, mother and three daughters, who
were drowned. A fourth daughter was
saved by hanging onto a fender.
The steamer caught fire around the
smokestack. The order was given to
beach her, and she put in toward shore,
going aground in the shallow water about
. mile from the beach. The glare of fire
was seen from the lifesaving station and
the crew made all haste to reach the spot
in tugs. They just arrived as the passen-
gers and crew were driven to seek refuge
from the flames in the lake. The surviv-
ors were picked up by tugs. The crew of
the steamer fought the fire with great
courage. They manned the fire apparatus
at the first alarm. and had stream from
a hose on the blaze in short time.

WAS A "BLACK THURSDAY"
.pitome of the Darkest Day Wall
Street Has Ever known.

Street Has Ever known.
Black Friday and the panics of '73
and w cannot longer be referred TO as
high water marks Of calamity in Wall
street history. A new record was made
Thursday. 1t was a day of whirlwinds,
wherein fortunes were blown TO frag-
ments, where industrial fabrics were
wrecked, where the savings of years
were swept away. Northern Pacific was
the keynote of the situation. 1t was the
pivot upon which the market swung.
Enough money was lost to build fifty
Northern Pacific roads, to girdle the
world with transportation lines. To hun
dreds the panic meant fortune. To
thousands it meant ruin.
Early in the day the banks, thoroughly
frightened. began to call their loans The
result was calamity the like of which
Wall street has never before known.
Men of millions, on the wrong side of
the market and unable 10 get ont, were
On their knees during the day begging
for quarter-for financial help at any
price. The banks were besieged, the
money lenders were overrun. and Wall
street saw the greatest panic of its his
tory. Rich and poor lost half a billion
dollars. Prices were knocked down from
10 to 60 points. The stock exchange was
mad. Between IL o'clock and noon the
majority of brokerage houses, if settle
ment had been compelled, would have
failed. Money was loaned at 40 and 90
per cent Northern Pacific stock sold as
high US $1,000 cash for a single share.
The Northern Pacific corner was COM
plete. The "shorts" were stricken and
utterly routed, and at noon they sent
word to the giants-who cynically contin-
ued their contest for Northern Pacific
control-that the stock exchange would
be insolvent unless mercy were shown.
The Harriman-kuhn-Lo Rockefeller
faction on one side, and the Morgan-Hill
syndicate on the other, stopped fighting
only at the moment that they found they
might carry themselves down in the
ruin. At the end Of the day both sides
claimed control Of the Northern Pacific.
The mighty pile of profits having been
swept away i'll a twinkling. panic stared
the nation in the face. Then the warning
factions announced that they would not
demand further delivery from ''shorts" of
Northern Pacific stock. This declaration
and millions loaned by the bankers saw

closing hours, but the days end saw the
greatest market the world ever witness
