The last doubt concerning the fate
of the car ferry Marquette & Bes-
semer No. was removed Sunday
when the state fish tug Commodore
Perry towed the ferry's life boat No.
4. containing nine dead bodies, into
the port of Erie. Eight were sitting
on the seats, and one lay huddled
up in the bottom of the craft. All
were frozen stiff.
For 4S hours. the Commodore Per-
ry had been securing the waters OF
eastern Lake Erie for traces of the
car ferry, but until a tiny 10-man
yawl was sighted Is miles off Erie,
the men on the little state fish craft
had almost given up hope of being
able ever to tell a portion of the
story OF the fate of the big ferry.
AS the lookout on the Perry sight.
ed tiny, half-sunken yawl, orders
were given to steam down upon the
object. The use of glasses discov-
cred the boat to be loaded with nine
men.
AS the Perry came abreast of the
drifting and half water-logged yawl,
the men gathered at the side of the
fish boat saw that they had arrived
too late.
Joseph Shenk, of Conneaut, the
smallest man in the party. was left

Carnegie Got the Benefit.

Mr.. Carnegie's frank statement
that that steal trust does not need
further protection, as it is able to
take care of itself, loses a great por-
ton of its force when the fact is
taken into consideration that the
retired steel king has a mOnthly in
come of 100000, and the further
fact is shown that the average
monthly wages of the men whom
he employed was but $50. Taking
these two conjoining facts into con-
sideration it is then easy to see who
was the beneficiary of the protec-
ton which was given to the steel
through the medium Of sky-hish
duties on the Carnegie product.
Now that Mr.. Carnegie is above
want" he sees no need of further
protection. Canny Scott.-St. JO-
