A CONFLICT AVERTED.
Troons Withdrawn in Californin,
" Pending a Dacisionby the -
Courts, :
" The threatened conflict between the- civil
and military forces at the Round Valley
(Cal.) reservation, has been averted, by i
structions sent by the Secretary of "War to
General Howard, , to withdraw the United
States troops now on" the reservation, pend
ing a judical settlemant of the matter. " It is
learned at the War departm ent that a com
pany df soldiers, under command of Captain
ShaWj was ordered to eject a number f
squatters from the reservation, at the request
of the Interior Department. An injunc ion
was obtained by the squatters from a stats
court, and as. the captain of the United
States forces refused to obey it, the state
militia was called upon to enforce the courts
order, r At this juncture, the attorney gen
eral appealed the case to the United States
Court, and at his suggestion Captain Sha.v
was directed to discontinue further proceed
ings. It was while this appeal was pending
that the sheriff began his movement looking
to the arrast of the military force. The or
der sent t- r 'reneral Howard to withdraw the
military force is expected to prevent an
: immediate conflict, but the question of juris
diction involved is regarded at the depart
ment as one of - the gravest importance. It
has cropped out in one shape or another in
all of the Indian outbreaks of the last, few
years; -' whenever the state or territorial
authorities have attempted to make arrests
on Indian or military reservations, and a
final settlement of tha conflicting rights of
. state and federal authorities over! govern
ment reservations is earnestly : desired by
military officers.
A JUDGE . USES HIS FISTS.
He Resents the Publication and Black.
... ens the Pnblishers Eyes. .
A personal encounter took place at Louis
ville, Ky.f between Judge William B. Flem-
jug and Biddorman Dupont. The latter is
proprietor of the Post and the Commercial,
both of which have been making editorial
and local assaults upon Judge Fleming. The
.climax" was reached when the Commercia
published an article stating that Fleming
and a number of other prominent citizens
had raised money to spend during the Guber
natorial campaign for Gov. Buckner." They
did this it stated, by negotiating a one thou
sand dollar note, which is now due, and
which, it is alleged, they are trying to induce
the Governor to pay, on the ground- that the
money was for legitimate campaign expenses.
The article proves to have been a falsehood
and was resented accordingly by J udge Flem-
ing- In a conversation some days ago Dupont
had intimated to Fleming that no more as
saults upon the latter should be printed.
They met, and the judge upbraided t .e pub
lisher for his want of -faith. ; Dupont made
an evasive reply, and becoming infurated,
Fleming struck him twice over the head
with a cane, after which they clinched and
had a short struggle. When separated Du
pont had two black eyes, but Fleming was
not hurt. --;- : ' ;- ' - -

THE BROOKLYN DIVINE'S SUNDAY
I SERMON.-
8ubject: , r "Deftetose Of - Voung Men."
TiXTv i "And thi Lord opened tlie eyes of
CA youiigman." IL Kings vi, J7. . i - .-,
One morning in Dothan a young thooiogl'
cal student was scared by findfing himself and
Ehsha the prophet, upon whom he waited,
surrounded by a whole army of enemies. But
venerable Elisha was not .scared at all, be
cause he saw the mountains full of defense
for him. in chariots made out of -fire whoek
-of fire, dashboard of fire and cushions of fire,
drawn by horses with nostrils of fire, and
manes of fire, and haunches of fire, and hoofs
of fire a supernatural appearance that could
not be seen with the natural eye. .r So the old
minister prayed that the young minister
might see them also, and the prayer was an
swered, and the Lord opened the eyes of the
young man and he also saw the fiery proees
s:on, looking somewhat, I suppose, like the
Adu-ondacks or the Alleghanies in : this au
tumnal resplendence. . . ; -; 4
Many young men, standing among the
most tremendous realities, have their eyes
half shut or entirely closed. May God grant
that my sermon may open wide your eyes to
your rafety, your opportunity and your des-'
tiny, 1 . ,
A hiighty defense for a yowig man is a
good home. Some of my hearers look back
with tenderatisfaction to their early home.
It may have been rude and rustic, hidden
among the hills, and architect or up holsterer
haver planned or adorned it. But all the
fresco On: princely walls never looked so en
ticing to- Vou as those rough hewn rafters.
You can think of no park or -arbor of trees
planted on fashionable country te-ti so at
tractive as the plain brdbk that ran in front
of the old farmhouses and ' sang under
the weeping willows. No barred gateway,
adorned wtth statue of bronze, and swung
open by obsequious porter in full dres, has
half, the glory of the swing gate. Many of
you have a second dwelling place, your
adopted home, that afeo is sacred forever.
There you built the first family altar. There
yom- children were born. All those trees jou
planted, f That room is solemn, because
m it, over the hot pillow, .flapped the wing
of death-i - Under that roof you expect when
your work is done to He down and die.- You
try with many words to tell the excellency
of the place, but you fail There is only one
word in the language that can describe your
meaning. It is home. : . ... r
Now, 1 declare that a young plan is com
paratively safe who grfss out into the world
with a charm like thi3upon him. The mem
ory of parental solicitude, watering, plan
ning and praying, will be to him a shield and
a shelter. I never knew a man faithful both
to h.s early and adopted home, who at the
same time Was given over to any gross form
of dissipation or wickelnesi -1 He who seeks
his enjoyment chieCy from outside associa
tion, rather than f.om the more quiet and
unp: esumlng . p!easu:-es of which I have
spoken, may be suspectel to be on the broad
road to ruin. ; Absalom despised his father's
house, and you know his history of sin and
his death of shame. - If you seem Unneces
sarily isolated from yc ar kindred and former
associates, is there not some room that you
can call your own . Into it gather books and
pictures and a harp. Have a portrait over
the mantel. Make ungodly mirth stand back
from the threshold . Consecrate some spot
with the knee of prayer.- By -the memory of
other days, a father's counsel and a mother'
love, and a sistei s confidence, call it home. ;
Another defense for a young man is indus
trious habit. Many young men, in starting
upon life in this age, expect to make theif.
way through the world by the use of their
wits rather than the toil or their bands. A
child nov goes to the city and fails twice be
fore he is as old as his father was when he
first saw the spires of the great town." Sit
ting in some office rented at $1,000 a year,
he is waiting for the bank to declare its divi
dend, or goes into the market expecting be
fore night to be made rich by the rushing up
of the stocks. " But Juck seemed so dull he re
solved on some other tack. Perhaps he bor
rows from hi3 employer's- money drawer,;
and forgets to put it back, or for merely the
purpose of improving his penmanship makes
a copy plate of a merchant's signature. Never
mind, all is right in trade. In some dark
night there may come in his dreams a vision
of Blackwell's Isla: d, or of Sing Sing, but
it soon -vanishes. . In a short tame he will
be ready to retire from the busy world,
and amid his flocks and herds culture the
domestic virtues. 3 Then those young men
who once were his schoolmates, and knew no
better than to engage. in honest work, will
come with their ox teams to draw him logs
and with their hard hands help heave up his
castle, j This is no fancy picture. It is every
day life. I should not wonder if there were
some rotten beams in that beautiful palace.
I should not wonder if dire sicknesses should
smite through the young man, or if God
should pour into his cup of life a draught
that would thrill "him with unbearable agony.
jsnouia not wonder if his children should
become to him a living curse, making his
home a pest and a disgrace. -1 should not
wonder if he goes to a rdserable grave, and
beyond it into the gnashing of teeth. The
way of the ungodly shJl perish. - - ; v
My young friends, there
ine success except through toil either of the
head or hand. At the battle of Crecy in
134S the Piince of Wales, finding himself
heavily pressed by the enemy, sent word to
his father for help. The father, watching
the battle from a windmill and seeing that
his son was not wounded and could gain the
day if he would, sent word: "No; I will not
come- Let the boy win bis spurs, for, if
God will, 1 desire that this day be his with
all its honors." Young man, fight your own
tattle all through and you shall have the
victory. Oh, it is a battle worth fighting.
Twomonarchs of old fought a duel, Charles
V.- and Francis, and the stakes were king
doms Milan and Burgundy. .-You fight with
sin and the stakes are heaven andlielL . f
Do not get the fatal idea that you are a
genius, and that therefore there is no need
of close application. It is here where .multi
tudes fail . The great curse of this age is the
geniuses, men with enormous self couceit and
egotism, and nothing elsel I had rather be
an ox than an eagle; plain, anl plodding.ard
useful, rather than high flying and good for"
nothing but to pick out the eyes of carcasses
Extraordinary capacity without u?e is extra
ordinary failure. . There is no hope for tbat
person who begins his life resolved to live by
his wits, for the probability is he has hot
any. - It t as not safe for Adam, even in his
unf alien state, to have nothing to do,
and, therefore, God . commanded - "him
to , be a farmer j ? and ; horticulturist.
He " . was to dress the garden and
keep it, and had he and his wife obeyed the
divine .n junction and teen at work, they
would not have been sauntering under the
trees and hungering after that fruit which
destroyed them and their posterity ; proof
positive for all ages to come that those who
do not attend to their business are sure to get
into mischief. I do not know that the prod
igal in Scripture would ever have been re
claimed had he not given up his idle habits
and gone to feeding swine for a living. ; " Go
to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways
and be wise, which, havine ' no overseer or
guide, provideth her food in the summer and
gaineretn ner meat in cne narvesc- - a ue
devil doe not so often attack the man who
is busy with the pen and the book, and the
trowel, - and the saw, and the hammer. He
is afraid of those weanons. -But woe to that
man whom this roaring lion moets with his
hands in his pockets ; Do not demand
that your ' toil always be ? elegant, and
cleanly and refined. There is a - certain
amount of drudgary througu which we must
all pass, whatever be our occupation. - ?
Again, profound respect for the Sabbath
will be to the young man a powerful preserv
ative against evil. God has thrust into the
toil and fatigue of life a recreative dayr when
the soul is especially to be fed. It is no new
f angled notion of a wild brained reformer,
but an institution established at the -begin-nin.T.
God has made natural and moral law3
so harmonious that the body as well as the
. 1 j i xi. L!i..iJ - t ' a . .
huui ueuKiuua mis uisiiiuuon. ; uur uquies
are seven day clocks,, that must be wound up
as often as that, or they Will ian down.
Failure must come sdoneror later to the man
who breaks the Sabbath. -Inspiration has
railed it the Lord's day, and he who devotas
it to the WOrld is guilty of - robbery; God
will nbt.let the sin gb unpunished, either in
this world or the world to come. ' -. -
- While the divine frown- must ret upon
him who tramples upon this statute, G-d'i
special favor will be upon that young m ,n
who scmpu'ously observes it. This diy,
properly observed, will throw a hallowed in
fluence over all the week. The song and ser
mon and sanctuary will hold back f o n pro
sumptuous - sins., That yount . man. who
begins the duties of life with either secret or
open disrespect of ,the holy day, I venture to
prophesy, will meet with no permanent suc
cesses. God's curse will fall upon his ehip,
his store, bis office, his studio, his body and
his soul The way of the wicked he turneth
upside down. In one of the old fables it was
said that a wonderful child was born in Bag
dad and a magician could hear his footsteps
6,000 miles away. But I can hearln the foat
stepof that young man, on his way to the
house of worship this mining, step not only
of; a lifetime of usef il'ness, out the coming
step of eternal joys of heaven yet millions
of miles away. - - .-- - - -.
.-There are magnificent possibilities before
each of you young men of the stout heart,
and the buoyant step ' and the" bounding
spirit. 'I would marshal you for grand
achievement. ; God flow provides for you the
fleet and the armor and the fortifications.
Who is on the Lord's side? The captain of the
zouaveS in ancient times, to encourage theni
against the immense odds on-the side of their
enemies; said: "Come, my men, 00k these
fellows in the face, f They are 6,000, you are
300. - Surely the match is even." .That
speech gave them - the victory Be not, my
h-arer, dismayed at any time by what sieais
an immense odds against you. Is fortune, is
want of education. . are r men," are devi!s
against you? - Though the multitudes of earth
and hell confix. t you,' sfaud up to the
charge. , With 1,00:),000; against you the
match is just even. Nay, you have a decided
advantage. If God be for us, who esn be
against us? '-. Thus protected, you need not
spend much time in answering your assa 1
ants. .
Many years ago word came to me that two
Impostors, as temperance lecturers, had been,
speaking in Ohioon- various places and giv
ing their experience, and they told their
audience that they had long been intimate
"With me and had become drunkards by dining
at my table, where I always had liquors of
all sorts. Indignant to the last degree -1
went down to Patrick CampboU, chief of
Brooklyn police, saying I was going to start
that night to Ohio to have thtse vil
lians arrested, and I wanted him " to
tell me how to make the arrest. . He smiled
and said: "Do not waste your time by chas
ing these men. Go home and do your work,
and they can do you no harm.'? I ! took his
counsel and all was well.-; Long ago I made
Up my mind that if ono will put his trust in
God and be faithfurto duty he need n-1 fear
any evfl. i Have God on your, side, young
rain, and all the combined forces of earth
and hell can do no damage. ' 4 - -
And this leads me to say that the mighiret
of all defense for a young' man is the posses
sion of thorough religious principle. No'hing
can take the place of it . He may have man
ners that would put to shame the graceful
ness and courtesy of a Lord Chesterfield. For
eign languages may. drop from his tongue.
He may be . able to discuss literatures and
laws and foreign customs. He may wield a
pen of unequaled polish and power. His quick
ness and tact may qualify hjm for the high
est salary of the counting ho is3. He may be
as sharp as Herod and as strong as Sana son,
with as fine locks as.thosewuich hung Absa

MODERN CRUS0ES:
Castawavs Iilvina Four Months
on
: an Uninhabited Island.
On March 20th last, the iron bark Deny
Castle, belonging to Limerick, Ireland, left
Geelong for Falmouth with wheat, ifo trace
of her could be found at any port, and she
was posted at Lloyds as missing. ' On Sep
tamber 22 eight survivors "of the r Derry
Castle's crew rreached" Melbourne on - the
sealer Awarsa. - They stated that the missing
bark had been cast away on Enderby Island,
one of the -. Aukland group,; . eight days
after commencing? the - homeward voyage.
The Caotahi. both mates, . and ' twelve
peamen were - di-ownea- in crying

only passenger, James McGhie, endured for
five "months a series of privations and ad
ventures which seldom occur in real
life. .The --scene ; of the wreck is rare
ly visited by vessels. The - survivors
had no . food . except shell - fish, which
were very scarce, and they had but little cov

party was much cheered by finding on the
other side of thi harbor a small hut, which,

Interesting Figures From . the Bureau
' ot Statistics. .
; T j printed : report of Colonel W. F.
Switzier, Chief of tho United StaW Bureau
of Statistics,--on wcr' and manufactures of
wool is now ready for distribution, : and is
considered by the Bureau to be one of the
most ? valuable documents it has ever put
fortlu-r-The report makes with -its appendix
a volume of three hundred, - pages." : It
give3 a history of the development of sheep
raising and wool manufacturing in this coun
trv. The reoort shows that the number of
sheep in the United State? rose from 19,000,
00J in 1810 to 51,001,000 in 1884, but declined
to 45,000,000 in 1887. This marked decline
occurred mainly in the Southern and West
ern States, notably in Texas, and is attributed
in great part to the decline in the price of
wool since 1884. :-:s'r"'- -V
Great Britain, being the leading ; wool
market of the world, has always bean, the
report says, the principal market for pur
chases of wooL .Turkey and Russia have
also been Important sources of direct
supply,? but the : Argentine Republic is
now, next to Great ; Britain, the
foreign source of supply, followed by-Australasia
The imports of wool rose from 1,
715,(599 pounds id 1823 to 114,038,030 pound3
ins: 1887. The increase iu ivool imoorts has
'about kept pace with the growth of Ameri
can wool ' products, both na ving aoouc
doubled sinee 1800. A series of tables
illustrates the ' Increase in : produQtis r and
in Importations and the relations between the
two, as for examp!e,f rom 1S64 to 1868, 18i.
030,000 pounds were, produced and 43,000,0 JO
imported; fiom 1874 to 1878, 195,000,000 pro
duced and 45,000,000 imported; from 1882 to
13-$:5, 207,001,000 werepro luced and 92,000,
030 imported. - Frcm 1823 to 1S31 the annual
imports of wool in manufactures " averaged
over $9,000,0JO in value, or" more" than sev
enty-one cents per capita; while from 1832 to.
to 1811. they reached over $14,000,000, or
eighty-four cents per capita. - "
The value of " the United States woolen
product of 150 was $25,000,000 in -round
numbers, and of imports $19,000,000. In
1880, the product had grown to $164,030,000, ;
and imports were valued at $31,000,003, be
ing; S3. 91 per capita. ' . .
- Thus, while the product of woolens in the
United States has increased since 1850 nearly
sevenfold, the imports have increased about
sixty -two pec cent; but the consumption per
capita has doubled, - which the statistician
says indicates in a striking manner the ad
vancement of wealth and comfort in the style
of living among the people of this country.
The statistics of imports and exports of
woolens in the - trade of foreign countries
show that the United Kingdom is foremost
in the foreign trade in woolens, : the imports
during 1885 amouning in value to $49,000,000
and the exports to $115,000,000. France comes
next with imports of $49,000,000 and exports
amounting ' to . $78,000,000 ; - Germany
next, with imports of $25,000,000, - and
exports of $51,000,000. There has been a
large decline in the' woolen trade of Great
Britain since 1874. s This decline, the Royal
Commission on the Depression of Trade
attributes in part to the high foreign tariffs
which, it is claimed, shut out the manufac
turers of G-eat Britain from foreign markets.

Stoty of Another Young Girl Who was

Blanche . Bonnevfflet etna fifteen-year- old
girl who has been a prisonerin the Wisconsin
dives for more than a year, reached her home
at Chicago. Officers Were sent to rescue her
and .. bring her as . a witness ""against the
Cassidy woman, who isi to be tried for ab
'duction. v Before the " officers reached
Marinette, however, Mike Leahy the keeper
of the dive, got word from Mrs. Cassidy
that there was trouble ahead, closed his dive
and released his prisoners. Blanche is still a
pretty girl, in spite of the terrible experien.e
she suffered in the dives. She is the daugh ter
of a respectable carpenter. ' She says she
was abducted in July, 1886. She was but on
the street in front of her father's house when
af woman, who she afterwards found out was
Florence Ripley, an alleged procuress, came
by with a pitcher and asked Blanche where
she could buy some milk. Blanche showed
her and the womau struck up a conversation.
She found, out that Blanche's father was
poor and the girl anxious to earn her own
living. Then she said she kept an intelli
eence office and could get her a place where
she would earn $12 a week and her- board.
She was to work at a hotel table at Green
Bay, Wis. Blanche got her father's consent
to go. Instead of taking her to Green Bay
the Ripley woman carried her to Marinette,
where she was taken in a close carriage to
Leahy's place. She has been a elose prisoner
ever Since. She has-been moved around
from one dive to another, but always under
Close guard. . Her father , never knew what
had become of her, and believed. she was
dead until- the Howden woman escaped the.
other nay and told her story of the-horrors
of the place. . . - - .
Blanche ;.- says that -while she was at
Marinette, the Ripley woman brought there
two innocent -i girls' from Chicago, named
Lizzie Wilson and Katie Holland, who had
been decoyed far a similar way. They were
beaten, starved and threatened - with the
bloodhounds if they did not yield to the de
mands of their jailer. -While she was at
Florence, Wis. . two young , girls " named -
Annie Perry and Annie Howard, whom the
Cassidy woman had kidnapped and brought
there, tried- to escape. The keeper of the
dive turned the bloodhounds loose upon th m.'
The does cauzht them and tore and mangled
them so frightfully that Blanche thought
they were dead when they were : brought
back. ;-"i;:ii y'T"-;-::--"y;:;r-'-: vr-:v-;
- Three weeks ago she was taken back to
Leahy's at Marinette. . In a few days the
Cassidy woman appeared- with a little girl
named Blanche. - She did not seem to be
more than thirteen years old. She cried alt
the time for her mother and all the beatings
that Leahy could give her could -not make
her: yield to the life - he wanted her to lead.
She was locked up it a garret and only fed
on scraps every other day. The . Cassidy
Woman and others of her kind were contin
ually bringing young girls to the dives.
Most of them had been kidnapped from .re
spectable homes. The lives they were forced
to lead lulled most of tnem in a year or two.
DIED IN A PULLMAN CAR.
A Young Liady, While Merrily Coiv
versing with Friends, Suddenly --
' r " .- - - Expires. - . -A
pathetic story Was related by the Pull
man conductor of the Pan Handle limited
from Cincinnati A beautiful and' refined
young lady, travelling alon 3 from Cincinnati
to her home at Xenia, O., had suddenly died
during the night "A few minutes before
the train . left Cincinnati she, with a bevy of
young ladies, came to the train. She had
been on a visit there for several .weeks and
her" friends expres ed regret at seeing her
leave. They kissed her farewell and wished
her a safe and pleasant journey home, al'
promising to return her visit in a short time
The lady was provided with a seat in one of
the parlor cars. She sat reading a magazine
for an hour and then engaged in a conversa
tion, with a number of the lady occupants of
the car. : ; She : was . so - handsome and so
pleasant and attractive in her manner that
she soon drew the attention of almost every
person in the car, and her journey was being
made a very pleasant one. -';.-.-.!- ; "
: . "It was a joliy crowd, Everybody seemed
in a good humor,'' remarked the conductor,
"and when I last passed through the car I
noticed that the yeun lady was. having a
gay time. " A moment later she threw :up
her arms, gave a slight shudder, and - was
dead. Her body fell from the chair before
her fellow-passengers could realize what had
happened. The scene of gavety was sud
denly changed to one of mourning. The
la .ies cried bitterly, some of them fainted,
and the gentlemen wiped the tears trom
their eyes.. The train sped on and the body
of the young lady - was not cold when we ar
rived at Xenia. " "
: 'The young lady's father 7 as at the station
to meet her. . One by one he watched the
passengers stepping from the - toain, expect
ing to see his daughter next He , then
stepped up and asked if his daughter was
aboard, giving her description.
"I told the old gentleman that her body
was in the car; that she had died while en
route," said the conductor, . "The old father
was horror-stricken and so prostrate i by
grief that he had to be assisted into the sta
tion. -The body was removed and our trail
pulled out. I could not learn the . lady's
name."
ANARCHISTS INTERVIEWED.
"Capitalists and Their Courts Demand
Blood, and -They May Have It." .
."Oh, I have grown almost -indifferent to
the result,' remarked Anarchist A. R.

with the condemned men at Chicago. ."Hope
and fear have almost worn " themselves-out
and I have become callous. - :.'-'' :i;"" - 7-
. "So have I,n murmered Mrs. Parsons, who
was by his side. "The capitalists and .their
courts demanded blood, and they will no
doubt have it on Nov. U.w

demand blood for bTood and they will, no
doubt have it afterwards," continued
Parsons, f-ii'- 'vrj-c-;- ffi'':- i';:'-;!, -A::
"Blood for blood," whispered Mrs. Parsons.
-""What hope is there from a United States
Supreme Court that sends for - State officers
and consults with them an to the question of
jurisdiction! That is ' what- oar Supreme
Court has done in this case. Did it ever do
so in any other case? The judges, with then
solemn mummery, are put there to decide
questions for themselves. But, bah!"-
and, with a wave of his hand, Parsons signi
fied that the interview was at an end. -
."Do you think the Supreme Court will
interfere in the Anarchists' case'" a World
reporter inquired of one of the most promi
nent attorneys in the city this morning.
"I do not. - Everything indicates that the
judges have found nothing to warrant them
in sending the case back. : Had it been at all
clear or probablo that the court would find
cause to interfere, Justice Harlan would
have heard the application for the writ of
error without hesitation. It has never hap
pened but once ; before that the full Bench
has heard an application of this kind,';

Reach Them Upward . -
of a Score Drowned.
The steamship Superior, arriving at MIT- -waukee,
Wis., brought the first news of the
total wreck of a large passenger propeller off
Manitowoo, Wis. . That the wreck is that of
the propeller Vernon, of the Northern
Michigan line, is established almost beyond
a doubt. She was due, and from the descrip
tion of fragments seen by the crew of the
Superior, her owners" consider her. identify
fully established. She had on board a crew
of twenty-two men and several passengers,
the exact number not being known and it
is supposed that all hands perished. Captain
Moranbf the Superior, saw three or four
rafts with men clinging to them, and also a
sailboat containing a women and three men.
Although he made an effort to rescue them,'
the high sea prevented the rendering of any
assistance, the Superior being herself dis
abled, and requiring the crew's best efforts, -It
was-about ten o'clock in the morning
when the first signs of the wreck in the shape
of floating cargo and furniture were seen."
About an hour later the rafts were sighted.'
On some the 7 occupants were , almost gone,
while others signalled the Superior. ;
P. J. Klein, of Klein & Kirk, who charter
ed thoVernon to replace the Champlain,
burned early in the season, received the first
information from areporter. After hearing
tne account as reported by Captain Moran
he felt sure that the vessel-was the Vernon. 1
He did not know what passengers were on
board, and of the crew could give only the
following names: ' ' .- - : - -
Captain George Thorpe, of Ogdensburg,
N. Y, master. -. - .
Captain Collins, mate, who formerly sailed
the schooner Golden West, f . 4. ;
- Captain Higgins, second mate, who sailed

F. W. Burk, clerk, the. oldest son of Mr.
Burk, one o the owners of the vessel, -;

Frank M. Hall, second engineer, a brother
of Ed Hall of Chicago. v -
. Martin Beau, steward. . - ! -" "
The Vernon was owned by A. Booth, of
Chicago and was valued at $75,000. : She was
a year oldand was insured for $37,000. She
ran between Chicago and, Mackinaw, and
picked up freight at -the ports where she
touched, carrying it at the sjrisk; of the own- '

and a small boat in which we could sej one
