The news of the disaster came yesterday in a telegram from the captain of the tug Castle, at L'Anse, Mich., saying that the Campbell had been lost with all hands and that particulars had been sent by letter. The captain of the steamer which came in last evening from Marquette, Mich., says that 011 Saturday a terrible gale was blowing over the lake in the vicinity of Huron Isle, and it is probable that' the Campbell, which was one of the staunchest tugs on the lakes, was caught in the hurricane.

Huron Isle is about 40 miles from Marquette. The tugs Campbell and Castle had been at work there trying to raise two sunken vessels. The tugs parted company on last Friday, both then being in good condition. The captain of the Campbell was then warned not to try to face the wind that was rising, but he remarked that his tug could weather anything but an earthquake. That was the last seen of the vessel and its crew.

All the men who were lost were single and, with one exception, all lived in this city. Engineer McCort came from Cheboygan.

To the list of names headed by Miss Herschel and Professor Maria Mitchell must now be added that of Mrs. Fleming of the Harvard college observatory, who has just discovereel a new star iu the constellation Carina. The star is apparently small and gaseous, the spec-

tion is curious, because its spectrum varies greatly from time to time, being bright and continuous on oue occasion and very faint on others. Mrs. Fleming's discovery confers distinction upon both herself and her work. At the same time it calls attention to the interesting fact that she is but one of a hundred talented and erudite American women who have displayed a natural taste for astronomical science in the past 15 years.

Mrs. Newcomb McGee.

Mrs. Newcomb McGee of Washington city, daughter of Professor Newcomb, the famous astronomer, has the distinction of being the second woman elected a fellow of the American Association For the Advancement of Science.
