Chicago, May 18.
A.KE MICHIGAN bus not been
lashed and churned for month
as she was today by the Bares
wind that hat been IWtsplng
iloWO from the north forthepast thirty
nix hours. Late tonight it in believed
that twelve or fifteen live have been
lost alon th shore oft this city, and
i!s suburbs. The only other point re
porting loss of life is jlilwiukee,wbere
six of tin schooner Cnmmlngt' crew
were drowned this afternoon bofore
they could be rescued by the life sav
ing crew.
H If a dozen tcbooners and smaller
craft have foundered oil this city dur
iugthedsy; a score or more are dis
mantle! and stove in, making an al
most hopeless tight against the gale
uud thu huge waves that every few
minntes swept over them, endangering
the lives of those who are still aboard
It bus been a day of heroic effort an I
gre.it Buffering for the life saving
crews scattered along the shore. At
least thirty vessels are anchored out
side the harbor waiting for the storm
to subside. All are more or less dam
aged and the siguals of distress that
have appeared among them from lime
to lira-' dnrin.' the day have kept
the life savers busy. Twenty-five
or thirty men hate been brought Id,
nil exhausted and sr. If- ring intensely
from the exposure and cold In several
places help arrived too late and a corpse
w.is fonnd among the half conscious
sailors who, benumbed by the cold and
unable to protect thennelves, were al
most beaten to death by the furious
waves.
SCENES OF HORROR
Scenes of borror that chilled tbe
blood of thousands of spectators were
enacted in tbe harbor for two miles
below the Illinois Central derot in the
early craning As the storm increased
in viol' nee daring the afternoon, the
waves grew mountain high, dashing
over the breakwater, deluging the
tracks and enveloping the p -iMng
truins with torrents of spray. Out in
tbe harbor a dozen three-matted
acboon'-rs. heavily laden with lumber
from Michigan, were ridinu at anchor
A few minutes after 4 o'clock three
of the nnmber hoisted siguals of dis
tress and citizens on liore telephoned
to the police and fire departments us
well as to the life saving station at
Jackson park. A few minutes later
the three-masted schooner Evening
Star, of this city, parted her chains
and came for the shore like a rocket.
She struck the heavy piling of tbe
br.-ak water and her timbers crashed
in hi though they were egg shells.
As the vessel strnck the six sailors
aboard jumps 1 for tbir lives. Five
landed ou a pile of scrap Iron, bnt tbe
sixth missed land by a couple of feet
and went down into the waves, Tbe
next moment a succession of monster
waves had cleaned the deck of thous
ands of pine planks which covered the
surface of the water and made any at
tempt to reseue the unfortunate men
Impossible,
Hi.rdly had she struck before another
t'.r r bad parted her ropes and
was coming ashore. This was the Jack
Thompson, also lumber laden. Sue
followed the pith of the Ktar and came
belm-on the previous unfortunate. The
shock precipitated into the. water the
heavy timber on the starboard side
and upon which tho five members of
the crew wero standing . Fonr of them
clang to a big plank, yelling at the top
of their voices for help. The fifth man
could not b seen for a moment, bnt
was finally discovered banging lv one
hand to a sparacinplo of hnudred
yards north.
EFFORTS TO CAST A LINE.
Several unsuccessful efforts to cast
lines were made, but finally a rocket
was thrown across the raft and the
benumbed men were helped ashore.
The other members of the crew were
palled nsbore by some of the specta
tors. Shortly after 0 o'clock tbe two
master Murphy, lumber laden, came
HHoore within fifty yards of
tbe Thompson. She was driven
so close to the land that the crsw
had little difficulty in jumping ashore.
Another big three master which hud
been riding at anchor about a mile out
parted her chains and commenced to
COtne for the shore. I'.y this time fully
100.000 people lined tbe lake front for a
distance of a mile and tens of thous
ands more occupied the windows and
roofs of tbe private residences and flat
buildings that command a view of the
lake.
It was seen that eight men were
clinging to tbe rigging. The life
saving crew had made ready their Hues.
Tbe first rocket took effect and one by
one the men were brought ashore,
while tbe thousands made their voices
beard above the roar of the storm, One
of the crew was canght on the vessel
and drowned.
At 9 o'clock the schooner Myrtle was
seen drifting ashore, Six half frozsu
men wero clinging to tbe rigging. Tbe
life-saving crew was busy a wile away
at tbe other wrecks and could give no
; ssistnnce. The sailors were washed
overboard one by one in full view of
the tbonsands on the shore until but
one was left. He took off his clothes
during a lull in tbe storm and jumped
overboard, striking ont for the shore.
He had gone bnt a few yiirds, however,
when be was carried under by the
waves and did not re-appear. The
chojner foundered 200 feet off Thirty
fifih street.
Forty lives were saved by tbe srews
of tbe life saving boats and tbe tags of
the Chicago companies daring the day,
including the firemen.

Nlw York, May 18.-R O. Don &
Co'i weekly review of trude tomorrow
will say: The obstacles to improve
ment do not lessen. Tns strike of
coal miners and coke workers have not
OeaStd, but have caused tba stoppage
of numerous works this week, and era
barraauint to some railroads. Ths
conference at Cleveland exhibited
much anirrv feeling and wider differ
voces than had breu expected, and
seems to render agreement more dis
tant. Proceedings in the senate do not
indicate that the latest form of the
tariff revision has made speedy final
action more probable.
So real a calamity, th long strike of
nuners.results in bettor prices for B-'S-seiU'-r
iron, steel and many steel pro
ducts, end to iron making concerns of
the east partly compensates for the
overwhelming advantage which th-
Pittsburg and Ohio regions had ee
enred tn the fierce competition for
some months. Foundry and D'ill iron
ere in abundant supply, with IHtll
change in pries, and though tbe de
mand for finished goods is not large,
firmer pi ices appear where there might
be demoralization, if parts of tbe works
wero not forced to close.
In Chicago, also, the market has ben
the best for months, with structural
iron and plates stiffer. At Pittsburg
the demand has raised beisemer irou $8
per ton. Tbls week wbe.it touched
low water and the average or prices is

Ci.r.VKi.ANP. May 18.
TBE miners held a final consulta
tion today, at which they de
cided to continue the fight until
tbe operators agreed to restore
the old loale, President Mellride made
an address to the delegates, urging
tin m to use only poac -able means to
gain their end, oud to slrengthen
tiieir lines by extending organization
The miners will attempt to nrgnnize
the districts in Illinois. West Virginia,
and Pennsylvania, whero (be men are
atill working, and get them out, but In
the opinion of a leading Pennsylvania
operator this will takoao long that the
miners now idle will gradually go back
to work. At noon tbe miners ad
journed The situation in the bituminous c al
famine which prevails all over the
country Is unchanged tod iy, although
the decision of the striking turners to
continue their course, may, it is
thought here, have tho efleet of call
ing out other miners who have not
struck as yet.
Railroad and steamship men, and
also manufacturers, no longer seek tn
hide the fact that the c ul famine is
crippling them. In fact, the famine
has assumed the most serious propor
tions, and It has begun to be a ijnes
ttou whether many industries m iy not
be foiced to shut down for a lack of
fuel to help their furnaces going.
Within the past doten years, the
East particularly, has felt , from time to
time, the pinch resulting from a short
allowance of anthracite coal, bnt a
famine in bituminous coal has never
been experienced here before, and,
with the growth of machinery adapted
to the use of bituminous coal only.
consumers are at a lois wh it to do
On M iv 1. when it was thought that
the strike of the 200, i coal miners
wonld he at an end in a few days, and
the supply of bituminons co il had not
been so greatly reduced, bituminous
coal sold, delivered alongside of vessel
in New York harbor, for from U 60 to
ft&tt a ton. Today the same coal is sell
lug at from 3 t to $i a ton.
8TEAMSHII' urn amorm
Tbe steamship companies, particu
larly the Knglish line, whlcn burn
soft coal entirely because of Its cheap
ness as well as its great steam-making
qualities, have begun to prep ire for the
coal fauiiue anil, with thu exception of
the White Star and Canard lines, have
notified their borne oflioes to
have tbeir steamships loaded
with coal for both tbe west
ward and eastward voyage!, as the
agents said that they DOQld ir inteo
that a sufllient quantity of bituminous
coal could be purchased here to supply
the ueeds of their steamships for the
return voyage. As a eonseaoce,
many of the trans-Atlantic Itaauubipi
will carry their own coal from the
Other side for the whole voyage.
lint the railroads cannot simply tel
egraph to the other end of the line and
get fuel, and many railroad are cuttinc
down all extra trains, and running
only passenger, mail and baggage
trains. Thero was a report that the
New York Central had start'd using
hickory wood, but it was a trill- pro -mature.
The chief supply of bitumin mm no ii
at present is coining from the Virginia
region, where the colored miners re
fused to Strike, and a few small mines
In the Cumberland region. A' these
mines tho men are working night and
day. hut as New York alone uses about
50,000 tons a week, lb.) small amount
mined Is not suflicient to (supply one
half of tbe demand,
Wnen the full realization that there
was to be a coal famine dawned SJBOD
the large coal dealers of this city t liny
naturally began to Bgnra on tne cost
of importing coal enough to tide over,
anil the result lies been that at least
150,000 tons of English bituminous
coal will be shipped to New
York from Nova Scotia, Cardiff, Wales;
Newcastle and Liverpool inside of a
few weeks. Of this amount 80,000
tons have already beon bought at a

a word, pulled o -.-ovolvor aud com
menced tiring. The balls entered M:.
O'Brien's clothing, bnt luckily missed
the flesh. As soon as Manners opened
fire Mr. O'Brien retaliated an bst
he could by letting drive
everything portable about the place
The Dago, finding his ammunition be
coming exhausted and seeing no visible ,
result! ot his mnrkmiinship, took to Ins
beela, closely pursued by Mr. O'Brien i
and others, and has not been seen since
The only motivo Mr. O'Brien can as
sign for the assault is the fsct of his
having discharged Manners sometime
ago for iiisolenoo nnd indolence.

Conflagration.
Fprrinltn the Scrimtnn IWSaaa
BotrtaPAlB, May 18. At :.' o'clock
this morning fire I roke out In toe Pa
ter block an 1 before it was finally put
out did considerable damage,
Tbo building to ft Urge, double fram
strocture, and was occupied on the hrst
floor by Charles Peterson, jeweler, 00
one side, in whose store is the Western
Union telegraph wlre, and on the
other by J. 11 Nielsen, toys and fancy
nrticleB and Mr Nielsen, millinery.
The second fl air is occupied bv tie
Exchange c!uh and the third floor I
lodge room. Undr the steps loading
to the lodge room the club hs a small
locker. The tire originated about tn SS
Steps,
At 130 am. this morning the olob
room was vacatej and locked. Aii
then seeme 1 sale. Al 2 u m. a D da
ware and Hudson watchman psesed by
aud, sm-iliug smoke, looked about, bnt
saw nothing Sitting down on tbe op
posite side of the stre-f, he watched for
further developments. At 4 "i a man
came out of the hallway that leads to
the club and lodge rooms aud went up
strset.
At 8 80 p, m. Mr Bsnman, who livs
next to the Petersen block, detecte I
smoke in bis room, t ut for some mo
ments bonl I see nothing of tbe fire,
doing out in front, however.be saw
the fire blazing away in the lodge
rooms The cry of tire was raised and
at 3 40 the alarm sounded In a few
moments the firemen were on the
scene. It was raining hard sn I tier -were
f rt-ijuent flashes of llghtui'lg. For
blocks away the suioko was sufToca
tlng. The fire was brt attacked tnrough
the parlor of the Kichange club snd
from the main stairway, its centre
seemed to be at tbo head of tbe lodge
stairs.
The back part of the iolge room was
entirely destroyed, and the room badly
t urned. The irou roofing held tbe fire
in. The Exchange club reading room
is wreck. Nearly everything In tbe
parlor, including tbe piano is de
stroyed or spoiled. The pool table is
scorched, and together with the biil-
l lard tables is badly soaked with water.
I he insurance i flice of O Y Lane was
more damaged by water tbsn tire
. Nearly the entire stock of F. B Milisen
'. ft wife was ruined by water A large
part of the j awelry and other property
of I 'barbs Petersen was taken from
the building to places of safety. The
parts ot the building not destroyed by
tire are thoroughly water-soaked.
Tbe origin of tbe fire is a mystery.
The stairway leading to the lodge room
forms a partition, separating tho read
ing room and parlor of the F.xchange
club. Curtains hang in either doorway.
If the tire bad originated under the
stairway it would naturally have eaten
its war into the parlor and burned out
the stairway walls Tne parlor is not
burned aud the walls only chsrred at
tho bottom Everything at the top is
burned out, showing clearly that the
Origid of the tiro was at the top of the
stairway,
