Brought Under Control--The Ontario

to Be Breaking Up

day with fierce fire raging in her hold
Fifteen passengers were taken off by a
tug, and the crew Of forty men remained
aboard to fight the fire. After six hours
work, the fire was under control.
The Ontario Is hard aground. With IL
light sea running and little wind, there
is little danger, but apparently the yes
sci is breaking up. The wrecking tug
Tasco was rushed to the scene in re-
sponse to the s. o. S. wireless signals
and took the passengers to New Lon
don, Conn There they boarded the train
for Boston.
Two crews Of life savers and thrc.
revenue cutters hoyered near the vessel
this morning, but Captain Bond declared
there has been no need of their serv-
ices. The fire broke ont during the
night and became so threatening that
the s. @. S. calls were sent out by the
ships wireless operator. Meanwhile the
course of the steamer was changed and
the vessel was driven full speed toward
the reefs of here, as Captain Bond be
lieved that otherwise the ship would be
burned at sea.

BARRE's STREET DAMAGE.
Cost of Repair at Conservative Estimate
Is $4,000

Street. Superintendent Jesse c. De-
Bruno and his men were in the thick
of the fight against the flood yesterday,
as were the laborers connected with the
water department and Superintendent
H. L. Reynolds. This morning the street
superintendent made a trip of inspection
OH all of the city streets and discov-
cred new places where the flood had
wrought havoc with the highways. Mr..
DeBrune places the city's highway loss
at $1,000 and says that this is probably
an extremely conservative estimate.
In its ravages on the streets, the flood
seems to have spent its force at the
north end. From Blackwell street
through to Sixth street the road looks
as though a huge glacier had passed
that way, leaving a layer of cobble
stones and debris in its wake. Begin
ming at Beckley street and extending
as far north as Sixth street, the top
layer of the macadam road was swept
away, although it is believed that the
level OF the stretch remains intact. The

South End Partly Submerged.


In the south end Of the city, conditions
were bad late iii the afternoon Jail
branch overilowed it's banks and com,
pletely flooded the Granite City trotting
park, Transforming the area into lake
several feet deep, while other sections
were deep with water In the vicinity
OF the \, G. Glysson granite plant on
Stevens branch, the water rushed
through some Of the buildings, pouring
out the windows and thence into the
river channel again Mr.. Glysson's loss
will be heavy, because he had consid-
cradle quantity of supplies in his pol
ishing mill, where the water stood four
feet deep, while many papers and plans
were in the flood.
Toward Williamstown the smaller
streams pouring into Stevens branch be-
came swollen to such an extent that
many small bridges are reported swept
away, but all the main bridges are re-
ported intact.
So far as known, the only loss of life
reported was to some live stock on Cum
ner brook, in the northeastern section of
the city. A henhotse with 40 fowls was
swept into the brook and brought up
against the Harrington street bridge,
where it collapsed, and the hens were
lost
Many residences in various sections Oh
the city were surrounded by water, and
no slight inconvenience resulted from the
conditions. Tn the Webster avenue sec
tion, eight houses were suddenly placed
in small lake, and the occupants were
removed in boats and other conveyances.
Likewise in the Gunner brook neighbor-
hood the people found their avenues Of
egress cut off and they were forced To
stay at home. Church attendance last
evening suffered in consequence Of the
food and the storm. A meeting Of the
clerks union, which was arranged to be
held in the carpenters hall in the Mich
OILS block during the afternoon, had to be
called off, as that structure was sur
rounded with rushing torrents, and it
was impossible for the clerks to ges
into the building.
Granite Industry Suffers.
The granite industry was seriously in
terfered with to-day IN addition 10 the
actual loss sustained by many firms. In
the Granite street section, water poured
into the plants and besides putting out
the fires in the boilers left accumulations
Of mud over the granite stocks, tools,
plans, etc. Marr q Gordon was ont
of the firms most deluged, while just
north Of them the Harrison plant was
partially under water, Others in the
north section Of the city were hard hit,
the plant OF Young Bros, on the meadow
near the intersection Of the river and Gun
ner brook receiving the brunt of the flood
there, while below them others received
much water Probably quarter IF
Barre's granite workers were idle to-day
because of the food.

Boxhall Suffering
From Pleurisy and
Confined to Room

Jerry b. Boxhall is suffering from an
attach of pleurisy, brought on from eX-
posure and exertion,' said DR.. e. g.
Narbury. his attending physician, when
asked as to the nature of the ailment
that has prevented one of the leading
witnesses to be examined by the Senate
committee in the investigation of the
Titanic disaster, from appearing before
the committee today.
DR.. Marbury issued a certificate to-
day, stating that BoXhall was not in a
fit physical condition to appear before
the committee, causing important
changes in the conducting of the inves-
tigaton.
"BoXhall is confined to his bed at the
Continental HOTEL continued Dr. Mar
bury. He frs: came to me Sunday,
saying that he had been in pain since
landing in New York. Yesterday he had
considerable fever. although that has
been abated today. 1t is more than
probable that he. will be able to be
about in day or two
one of the ilfeboats that he had been
detailed to man that brought the pleur-
isy upon BoXhall. This was aggravated
by the exposure which followed while
sitting in the uncovered boat in the
open sea after the sinking of the Titanic
and before the rescue by the Carpathia.

BLY,, of Cooper Tract, Forest county, lost
all of his worldly possessions. Not even
the barn was left after the fire, which
ragged furiously, let up its vicious roar
and contented itself with an occasional
swapping in the smouldering ruins.
The origin of the fire was peculiar
one. Gasoline formed in the natural gas
supply with which Mr.. BLY, suppl ed his
home with fuel. 1t coming from some
nearby wells. Flowing into four heaters
the gasoline exploded, and Mr.. BLY, states
that in few minutes his cozy, finely
equipped home was mass of flames. So
quickly did the fire spread, in fact, that
the family had just time to escape.
"Had the fire started in the night"
said Mr.. BLY,, 1--WE would not be- living to
tell about It," The loss is about $1,000,

NewlywedS Get Welcome.

The little town of Birch put on its holi-
welcome to a pair of newlyweds, who
arrived on the morning train from w.
Virginia, where they had been made man
and wife. Grant Gillespie, who some
three or four months ago came to Mar.
quette county, Mich, from w. Virginia,
to enter the employ of the Northern Lum-
ber Co., returned east short time ago
and was married at Cowen, W. Va, to
Miss Edna Miller, charming young
woman of that city. Mr.. and Mrs. Gill
lespie arrived in Birch yesterday and
their arrival was made the occasion of a
gala event. Through the courtesy OF
General Manager Arthur Brooks, OF the
Northern Lumber Co., the bridal par ty
was met at the station by wedding
equipage which easily out-rivalled the
royal coaches OF old The lumber com
pany's OK, prOiusely decorated with ban
old fashioned sleigh also decorated, and
in this, amid the cheers and well wishes
of the populace, the young couple were
driven in pomp to their new home. Mr..
and Mrs. Gillespie have been warmly
welcomed by the people of Birch. Both
are quite popular in the east and that they
will continue their popularity at Birch is
taken for granted. A party at the home
in the evening, followed by ball on
Thursday night, with orchestra from
Ishpemming, completed the reception
which was warm indeed despite the fact
that the temperature was 500 below zero.
