LAKE BOAT SINKS
Barge Arcadia Missing and Believed to
Have Foundered - Crew of Four.
teen Missing - Wreckase Comes
Ashore.

Manstee, Mich April 23.-The
wooden lumber barge Arcadia, which
left this port April 12 for Two Rivers
with a cargo of cordwood, undoubtedly
has been lost in Lake Michigan with
her captain and owner Harry May. and
about thirteen others Marine men
have given her up as lost, and would
not be surprised to hear her wreck was
caused by boiler explosion. Some
hold to the theory that she went down
as result OF the big storm April IA.
The known list of persons on board the
Arcadia was: Captain Harry May,
Mrs. Harry May, young woman cook,
name unknown here; Otto Chavalia, q
sailor of Manistee: and Harry Powers,
sailor, of Manistee.
There were about eight more mem
bers of the crew. Wreckage has been
found along the beach from Pentwater
north to Little Point Saube. Part of
1T has been identified as the cargo of
the lost craft Portions Of her cabins
and bulwarks have also been found on
the beach near Pentwater.
The Arcadia was 119 feet in length,
rs feet in beam and 8 feet in draft.

FLOODING A MINE.
Water Turned Into Shafts to Extin'
guish Flames.

Deadwood, S. D., April 23.-Flooding
of the Homesteak mine began yesterday
for the purpose of extinguishing the
fire which broke out on the 500-foot
level four weeks ago. During this time
the company has fought the fire by ev-
cry means known, and has only re-
sorted to flooding as last device. In
spite of all efforts the flames have
gained steadily and the fire has now
spread into the upper levels where there
is a veritable forest of pitch pine tim
bers. Altho few men are still work.
ing at the fire, yet it is believed it
cannot be extinguished until the mine
is flooded. Accordingly six-inch
stream of water was turned down the
Ellison shaft yesterday morning, and
four-inch and eight-einch pipes are be-
ing laid to the open cut. The old Linz
coin shaft, abandoned for many yeays,
will be ,reopened and the water turned
into that connecting with the 30-foet
into that connecting with the 3OO-foot
level to fill the mine. 1t is probable
the operations cannot be resumed in
side of several months. This is the
greatest calamity that has ever be-
fallen the Black Hills.

Toulon, France, April ga fire
which broke out at the arsenal here
shortly after midnight, has assumed an
alarming proportion. Private resi-
dences outside the arsenal are threat
ened and immense quantities of stores
have been burned, the damage amount
ing to many million francs. The wall
of a storehouse fell in, burying twen-
ty men, ten Of whom We're severely in
jured. while two or three persons are
believed to have been killed. Large
bodies Of soldiers and sailors were
engaged in fighting the flames thruout
the night, but all efforts to control
the fire have been without success, up
to the present. The building in which
the commission of inquiry, appointed
to investigate the explosion on board
the battleship lena, has been holding
sessions, is in flames, and it is said
that most Of the documents relating to
the investigation, have been destroyed.
Some of the houses occupied by
workmen caught fire and cola psed, in
juring twelve men. The number of
men injured by the fall of the wall
of the storehouse was greater than at
first reported. Thirty have already
been taken to the hospitals.
Later 1t was ascertained that dupli-
Gates Of the documents belonging to
the lena commission of inquiry, had
been saved The superintendent of the
dock yards says that all endangered
men were rescued alive. The fire has
virtually been mastered, soldiers and
sailors having aided the arsenal em-
ployes in fighting the flames. More
roofs have fallen. but there have been
no further casualties.

NEW MARVIN THEORY

Hidden, and That Deckhand, Who
Is to Be Arrested, Can Solve the
Mystery.
Dover, Del, April 2s.-A new move
has been made in the Marvin case.
Acting upon Detective Lore's sug-
gestion, Justice Wood has issued a
warrant for the arrest of a steamboat
deckhand employed on the steamer
John H. Wilson, running between Leb-
anon, Del, and Philadelphia. The
boat will leave Philadelphia tonight,
and the arrangement is to arrest the
man as soon as the boat enters Della
ware waters The deckhand was one
of the men who were working at the
Marvin farm, helping to transfer the
household goods, the day that Horace
Marvin, Jr., disappeared. Lore's the
ory is that the boy, while climbing
about the wagon, fell off and was killed
and that the men, fearing that they
would be blamed for the boys death,
hastily concealed the body and later
made way with it in such a manner as
to prevent it being found.

Twenty-Five years ago young Wilson

Of for nearly eighteen years, altho be-
fore the father died year ago, every

Young Wilson learned by accident that
their son had gone to Alaska, but never
received any communication from him.
The father and mother, broken down
with age, determined three years ago
to seek their son in the Northwest and
made the trip to Dawson City in search
of their boy. They we're unable to find
him and the father died shortly after
returning to Tecumseh. A will was
made bequeathing $4,000 to the son
should he return within ten years, and
this provision also was made in will
made by the mother when she died a
short time after the demise Of her hus-
hand. Other heirs attempted to con-
fest the document. but it was permitted
hv the courts to stand, and the estate
left to Wilson is now valued at $780,
900. He still has three years in which
to- claim it.
