LAKESTEAMER BURNED
01 RESCUED FROM BURNING
VESSEL IN LAKE HURON.

DETROIT, Mich, August 2e.-Twenty-
one persons, including the captains wife
and two little children, were rescued early
today from the burning steamer Charles
"A. Eddy by the Detroit and Cleveland line
steamer City of Mackinac off Port Saint,
in Lake Huron. All of them escaped un-
injured and were brought to this city on
the City of Mackinac. The Eddy was
destroyed.
The Charles A. Eddy, which was owned
by the Gilchrist Transportation Company
of Cleveland, was bound down from head
Of the lakes with a cargo of ore. Fire
broke out early today while the steamer
was off Port Sanilac. 1t spread with great
rapidity and was soon beyond control OF
the crew. Distress signals were sounded,
and Capt. Simpson of the City of Macki-
mac, which was bound down from Macki-
nav Island to Detroit, crowded to its ca
pacity with passengers responded with his
boat. He had passed the Eddy and was
about three miles beyond her when he
came about in response to the distress sig
nails.
Simpson decided that the quickest and SAT-
est way to take Off the score of people on
the burning boat was to lay his big
steamer alongside. He accordingly steered
the City of Mackinac to the windward Of
the burning freighter, and amid great ex-
citement among the hundreds of passen-
gers came alongside of the Eddy and took
her crew off over the rail- Capt. Elsey OF
the Eddy was sick in bed with lumbago
and had to be carried from his ship to the
Mackinac with his wife and two children.
aged three and four years. Those aboard
the Eddy lost all their possessions except
the scanty clothing they had on.
Dispatches from Port Sanilac this fore
noon say that the Eddy is still burning,
and is off that port with two barges stand
ing by her, and apparently trying to tow
her down the lake, where Port Huron is the
nearest harbor. A large part of the boat
had been consumed by the flames at Z
o'clock. but the fire was then believed to
be under control.
The fire broke out in the forward end of
the boat, and spread so rapidly that several
members of the crew had to break the win
dows over their hunks and crawl through,
as the regular means Of egress were
blocked by fire and smoke. Capt. Elsey's
wife was driven from her cabin, Cad in
only night gown and stockings, and the
ewe bfbysgirls were almost; nude. The Sec
ond rnate had on only fur overcoat when
rescued. The half-clad frightened people
huddled, unprotected from the cold wind,
on the open deck while waiting for the
City of Mackinac to take them off.

Being Hurried.

SAN FRANCISCO. August 2s-President
Hartman notified the San Francisco officers
OF the Southern Pacific yesterday that the
work on the extension of the Cananea,
Yaqui river and Pacific railway, from Ala
mos, Mexico, through Mazatlan and down

The extension Of the Hartman lines now
reaches from Guayamas to Alamos. The
distance to Mazatlan Is seventy-five miles.
The roadbed on this section has been
partly completed, and will not take many
months to finish.
The country surrounding Mazatlan, Ala
mos, San Marcos and Tepic promises to be-
come big freight district of the Southern
Pacific. Most of the importations for this
section are shipped to Manzanillo or Mazat-
land and carried overland.
