Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1901-02-28

r. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of
trade says: Business in the East and
particularly along the north Atlantic
coast, has been catching up with the
rest of the country little this week, so
that in the few lines where complaint
has been heard locally of late the tone
has been better. This comes from the
working off Of retail stocks which owners
feared would have to be carried over un-
til next season. In builders hardware
the buying has been notably better, and
the distribution in the grocery jobbing
trade has been given a considerable slim
illus. Even the laggard dry goods mar
ket has shown a good measure of I'M
provement; though in cotton goods there
is still much to be desired. No diminu-
ton appears in the movement Of iron and
steel products. Mills are rushed with
orders and new contracts are taken at
full prices. Lumber and materials are
in good demand owing to extensive prep
arations for spring building, and at Buff
falo there is special activity on account
of hotels and other works in connection
with the exposition. Failures for the
week were 253 in the United States,
against POI last year, and 80 in Canada,
against SO last year."

THE RIO JANEIRO.

moment more, and then a sickening.
grinding crash, q stagger and recoil, as If
the ship were living thing.
In the brief space of few minutes
after the vessel struck and before she
took the final horrible plunge with her
living freight the officers had launched
three boats.
Inc testimony of several of the sl1ryiy-
ors is in accord about one other thing.
Captain Ward made no. effort whatever
to save himself. He had rushed to the
bridge, at the first shock, and there he
remained shouting his instructions
through megaphone and straining every
nerve to get the women and children off
in the boats. At the last moment. as his
ship went down, with the waves tanning
and then closing over her afnidships. he
was still standing rigid at his post.
When the ship struck the officers as
sembled and at ONCE set about notifying
all the passengers Of the danger. In tho
Storage forward were ffty-eight Chinese
and Japanese passengers, and stewards
raced into the bows Of the vessel to get
them out.
Screaming and crazed with fright. these
men swarmed over the decks, mingling
with the other passengers, cursing and
climbing into the rigging.
One small boat that was launched near
the bows was caught by the forward end
of the vessel on her final plunge and was
smashed to pieces. Purser John Rooney
who had in his possession the passenger
list, was drowned, and his death will nre-
vent very much being definitely known
about the identity of the drowned till the
agents IN Honolulu can be communicated

moments before they went down to their

housewife Wildman, United States
consul general to Hongkong, his wife and
two children were among those who per-
ished in the wreck The Rio de Janeiro
was inbound from Hongkong via Homo
lulu and was three days overdue. The
vessel sailed from Hongkong Jan. %.
Pilot Frederick Jordan, who was at the
helm when the ship struck, was washed
ashore, bruised and insensible.
The steamer reached the Heads Thurs
day night, three days overdue from
Hongkong. For several miles up and
down the coast where she rode waiting
for her pilot the fog hung like blanket,
and the Rio lay to. Pilot Jordan picked
her up with his schooner, boarded her
and then began to maneuver for a good
position so that he might draw in line
with the lights on Fort Point and the
Cliff House when morning came.
At about 4 o'clock the fog lifted and
the lights were plainly visible. The Rio
was started under slow bell toward the
Gate, but in half an hour ran into an
other fog bank She felt her way again,
but was making sufficient speed for many
passengers to dress and make their way
to the deck, where they stood peering out
into the darkness and specializing wheth-
er they would be eating their breakfast in
San Francisco or not
In Sight Of Safety.
Between them and their desire lay Mile
Rock, a jagged, sharp spur running out
from half-shore to the south Of the North
Head. This same Mile Rock has been
dreaded by mariners ever since vessels
began to pass in and out Of San Fran
cisco bay. Exactly ten years before an
American deep water ship, the Frank
Jones, ran on to it, shuddered and went
down with all hands.
But the Rios passengers had no
thought of grim sea tales like this. A
bare mile from harbor, daylight already
peeping out of the east and a pilot
aboard. What could there be to fear? A

X. w. Sherman Tells of Covering Dis

The steamship Georgia, which arrived
in New York from Liverpool, had on
board as a passenger *. w. Sherman,
who had charge of the experiment with
wireless telegraphy on the Georgia off
Brow Head. Mr.. Sherman said he sent
messages to Brow Head from a distance
of over thirteen miles and received re-
plies, but could not receive messages far
Their than that owing to the fact that the
rolling of the ship somewhat disarranged
his instruments. He does not use the
Marconi, but system invented by COL
Henry Montague Hosier, secretary Of
Lloyds, London, and Nevil Maskelyne Of
the Egyptian Hall, Piccadilly, London.
The instrument on the vessel was attach
ed to the metal of the ship and connected
with wires which were attached to fore
and aft stays Of the steamer.

their goods and pay them 81, 900 month

for $4,000 under this contract and suit
was brought to recover. The whisky trust
filed demurrer, alleging that the con-
tract was illegal. The demurrer is over
ruled, the court holding that when con-
tract, apparently illegal, is only an incl

Heap of Supposed Brass Turns Out to

A workman while engaged in sweeping
out storeroom in the Yale Peabody mu-
scum at New Haven, Conn, was stopped
in his work by a professor, who noticed
a piece of shining metal in what was sup
posed to be small heap of brass. 1t
looked peculiar, and he requested the
workman to cease until he had made an
examination of the metal. Soon after the
professor went hurriedly into the cellar
again and ordered the workman to re-
move every particle in the heap to the
museum office. The alleged heap of brass
turned out to be $4,000 worth Of gold in
Aztec jewelry. How it became lost in
the cellar is a mystery.
