FURIOUS GALE OX THE LAKES

Michigan, Hurou and Erie Swept by an Antnran Storm of Unusual Violence. A Larjje Nnmb'fer of Yessels Driven Ashore at Different Foints arid Broken to Pieces Loss of Life Comparatively Small. Marquette. Mich., Oct 24. A storm, almost the exact parallel in intensity and direction of wind and amount of snow-fall, of that which caused such havoc here on Nor. 17, last year, jet in at daylight yesterday. The wind blew from the northeast to north, forty fire miles an hoar, all day, while a blindingsnow-storm raged, nailing the gale donbly dangerous for vessel. The captain and crew of the schooner George Sherman have reached the city, and report the Sherman a total wreck on Shot Point, about ten miles from Marquette. The Alva Bradley struck at about the same place a little before the Sherman, and Captain Gi fiord thinks his crew also escaped. The Sherman left the Sanlt it 7 A. M-, Saturday, and was struck by the itorm this side of White Fish Point, commencne at 7 o'clock yesterday morning. She got along finely with the Bradley in company until after noon, when the vessels separated, and soon the captain of the Sherman Tonnd that in the thick snow-storm she was close ashore. lie attempted to come about to slear South Point, but was driven hard on a rocky beach. Seeine that the schooner was lost, the crew took to the boat. While going ashore the main-mast fell across the boat without injuring anyone, though when the shore was reached, the captain was dashed against the rocks and badly stunned, bnt was polled ashore by the others. All were saved. They struck The beach at 3:30 p. St., and kept wandering around in the woods until G o'clock in the blinding snow, almost dead from exhaustion, draggiog the woman-cook on a l'tter. When they reached the railroad track they flagged an ore train bonnd for Marquette. The vessel doubt'ess will be a total wreck. The Alva Bradley was coal-laden and was consigned to the railroad company here. She went ashore before the Sherman. Captain Gifford said she is on lead first and apparently easy. He thinks the srew got off, as it was only a few rods to the shore. He saw nothing of the crew, but could not stop to hunt for them because of the condition of his own men. Nothing was seen of their small boats. It is believed the crew of the Bradley are now roaming around in the woods in the terriole storm, and the city marshal, with a gang if fifteen men, has gone to find them if possible. The Lawrence is also probably lost, as she passed the Sault yesterday for Portago entry. Cleveland, O., Oct. 24. The schooner J. P. Joy, ore ladun, from Escanaba for Erie, sank ;bis morning, off Ashtabnla harbor, in about twenty feet of water. She was out in last night's storm, havinc been dropped by a tug which was towing her last evening. The crow all escaped in the small boat. The Joy was owned by 14. O'Brien, of Erie, and valued at $16,000; insured for $10,000. Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., Oct 24. The wind calmed a little this morning, but about noon a northwest gale started with a heavy snow. The first mate of the schooner J. E. Potts arrived here to-day, and reports the propellor Sherman and the schooner Aiva Bradley ashore near Marquette. The propelier George Spencer, with contorts Ironton and Tremble, left here this morning, bound down, and are hard aground on the flats at the lower end of Lake George. This will block navigation up and down Lake George. The steamers Alberta and the United Empire left here this morning, and were obliged to return to Ga.-ilen river. Seventeen vessels are weatherbound here. The passenger steamer India, which has been anchored at Whiteiisn Point since Sunday, left for Dulutn this afternoon.

She blew signals of distress yesterday and the tug Batcbelle? and the life-saving crew went to her assistance, but eould do nothing for her, as she was too heavily laden to set over the outer bar. There were fifteen men on board. Frankfort. Mich.. Oct 24. At daylight this morning the Point Betsy Life-saving Station patrol discovered a vessel anchored about twelve miles northeast, flying sigoals of distress. A tug was sent from here and the life-saving crew launched the surf-boat to meet the tue and be taken in tow. but the high seas made it a perilous task. When the boat reached the outer bar a tremendous breaker swept over her, breaking the oars, capsizing her, and throwing the crew into the ice-cold water. They made a desperate fight clinging to the submerged craft, and were flung exhausted upon the beach. After a long struggle the tug reached the imperiled vessel, and at dusk had her in tow, bound for South Manitou. Cheybotoan, Mich.. Oct 24. The propeller Delaware, of the Erie & Western transportation line, bound down, with gram and flour, was caught in last night's terrible storm on Lake Huron, and run ashore nesr Hammond's bay, fourteen miles below here. She is now in bad shape, and will undoubtedly be a total loss. Both anchors are broken, and she is badly raised amidships, and probably broken in two and full of water. Her deck-load can be saved and part of the cargo in the hold. She is exposed to east and northerly winds, and is liable to break up completely at the first shift of the wind. The Delaware bails from Erie, is valued at $100,000, and is rated All. Port Dalbocsie, Ont, Oct 24. A barge, last night, in tow of a propeller, broke her tow line during the severe weather, and sank with iier crew of five persons. Low Temperature in the Northwest. St. Paul, Oct 24. -It has been bitterly cold here all day, and to-night the mercury stands at 20 above. At Billings, Mont, 1CP below zero is reported and at Aberdeen, Dak., a temperature of zero. THE ALASKA SEIZURES. Canadian Stories Concerning: Alleged Unlawful Action of United States Officials. Toronto, Oct 24 -The Mail's Ottawa dispatch says: "Additional evidence of the highhanded way in which the United States officials in Alaska hare been conducting themselves during the past few months with regard to sealing vessels visiting Behring 6ea is a topio of con versation here.. It is reported of the United States marshal at Sitka, that he ejected half a dozen Indian sailors from a Victorian schooner one night when it was raining and hailing as only it can rain and hail in that country. They did not have anything to eat or any place to slee p. They came up around the court-bouse, and Judge Dawson and some of the citizens took pity on them and compelled the marshal to let thern go back to the vessel over night. Captain Laflin, owner of one of the seized American schooners, says the Alaska Commercial Company is at the bottom of the whole trouble. He Charges that for years the American government revenue cutters have been acting as tow boats for the Commercial company's vessels, and now are over-energetic in pushing the Canadian vessels from Behring sea. Two American vessels, the San Jose and Ellen, which wer boarded by the Bush, were ordered to Sitka, bnt, like the Alfred Adams, the Victoria schooner skipped away for home immediately the cutter was out of sight" A Deputy Marshal In Danger.

Ston, editor of the Ft Smith Telephone, was killed on Friday last, at Tahlequab, Cherokee Nation, by 12. o. Boudinot, jr., editor of the Cherokee Advocate.

The Telephone, which is the organ of the Mays party, said some very bard things about Bondinot, whose paper U run in the interest of the Rabbit Bunch or National party. Bondinot went to Stone and demanded an apology or retraction, when Stone made a motion as if to draw a pistol, and Bondinot shot him. Frank Bondinot, brother of E. C , arrived here to-day to prepare a bond for bis brother, who is tow in this vieinity and will probably surrender to-morrow to the United States marshal, claiming selfdefense. Col. II C.

The Supreme Court's Reason for Giving the Anarchists a Hearing. Washington, Oct 24. In the United States Supreme Court, to-day. Chief-justice Wait read the formal order in the Anarchist case, of which notice was given on Saturday, and which provides for a hearing on Thursday next of argument upon the Anarchist petition for a writ of error. Attorney-general Hunt, of Illinois, who was present in the court-room, asked whether the court desired to hear argument in behalf of the State. The Chief-justice replied that the court merely wished to notify him that the bearing would be given on that day, in order that he might take such action in behalf of the State as he should think best "If I wish to make oral argument in behalf of the State," asked Attorney-general Hunt, "shall I be permitted to do sol" 'You will," replied the Chief-justice. The following is the text of the order made by the court to-day in the case of the condemned Chicago Anarchists upon the motion of their counsel for the allowance of a writ of error: "Following the precedent in Twitchell vs. the Commonwealth, 7 Wall 321, we have permitted this motion to be made in open court, at the suggestion of Mr. Justice Harlan, to whom the application was first presented, on acconnt of the urgency of the case and its importance. But, as was said in that case, 'writs of error to the State courts have never been allowed as of right that is to say, as of course,' and it is the duty of him to whom application for such a writ is made to ascertain from an examination of the record of the State court 'whether any question cognizable here on appeal was made" and decided in the proper court of the State, and whether the case, on the face of the record, will justify the allowance of the writ' Deeming that the proper practice, we will hear counsel, on Thursday next, in sunport of this motion, not only upon the point whether any federal questions were actually made and decided in the Supreme Court of the State, but also upon the character of those questions, so that we may determine whether they are Buch aa to make it proper for us to bring the case here for review. We have caused the Attorney-general of Illinois to be informed that the motion will be heard at the time stated." Other Duslness Iiefore the Court. Washington, Oct. 24. The Supreme Court to-day denied the motion to advance, made by Mr. Packard, of Chicago, in four prohibition liquor cases from Iowa and one from Georgia, standing on the docket as Nos. 1013 and 1091 to 1093, inclusive. They involve the same questions which were presented by the case of Siebold & Hagelan, already argued. The Attorneygeneral of Kansas, who, by reason of a misapprehension, did not appear to argue the latter case orally, was in the court-room this morning and filed a petition for leave to make oral argument now, notwithstanding the fact that the court has already taken the case under advisement. The question presented by this case is regarded as a very important one, since it involves tlie constitutionality of a'.l the prohibition legislation since the adoption of the fourteenth amendment which does not provide for compensation to brewers and distillers for the value of the property destroyed by the forcible closing of their establishments. Attorney-general Garland submitted to court to-day a motion to have advanced for early hearing the case of the receiver of the First National Bank of Buffalo, N. Y., against Elbridge Spaulding and others, which involves the question of the responsibility of the directors of national banks for negligence in (he performance of their duties. The motion to advance is made at the request of the Comptroller of the Currency. A decision was rendered by the court to-day in the three cases of the United States, appellant, against the States of Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi. These were suits broueht in the Court of Claims by tho States earned to recover from the United States 5 per cent of the net proceeds of the sales of public lands within their limits, and also to recover indemnity for swamp lands purchased by individuals, the proceeds of which were, by statute, directed to be applied as far as necessary to the reclamation of such lands by means of levees and drains. The United States maintained that the Court of Claims had no jurisdiction to determine a canse in which a State sued the United States; that a part of the claims were barred by the statute of limitations, and that the United States was entitled to make a set-off or counterclaim on account of the States of Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi under the act of Aug. 5. 1801. The Court of Claims decided that it had jurisdiction; that the disputed item3 were not berred by the statute of limitations, and that the set-off or eounter-claim could not be allowed.

HONORS FOR JEFF DAVIS. Enthusiastic Greeting for the Ex-Chief of tha Ex-Confederacj Remarks to "My People.' Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Macon, Ga., Oct 24. At 9 o'clock Sunday night, after an elegant supper served by tho Macon committee, Mr. Davis and family, accompanied by the escort, drove over to Beauvoir Station, and were soon made comfortable in the sleeper provided. The car was divided by curtains into two compartments, which gave to the city's guests all the privacy of a home. At 11 o'clock the party was spinning toward Mobile at the rate of forty-five miles per hour, and were soon wrapped in slumber.

No man, with one exception, entered the special car from the time it left Beauvoir until it arrived at Macon. The committee was instructed to that end. and, having been left no discretion in the matter, obeyed ; orders strictly. Montgomery was reached about 7:30 o'clock and the first sound that greeted the comers was the booming of cannon. Mr. Davis was still in bis berth, but General Sandford, in reply to the cheering, brought out Miss Winnie Davis and introduced ber as the "daughter of the Confederacy," amid the utmost enthusiasm. A reception in the Montgomery car immediately followed. Flowers in profusion weresent The restaurant bad prepared a splendid breakfast which was served on board the traiu while it was pulling out of the city. Atno place along the route was there a larger crowd, or more ladies. At Thompson's the clamor was such as to cause Mr. Davis to put up his window and hold an informal reception. An old lady, standing on the outskirts of the crowd, called out. loud enough to be beard by everybody, "Mr. Davis, God bless you, sir." He replied: "My people, I am glad to see you all." Another voice called out from the crowd, "Mr. Davis, the last .time I saw you was at Fortress Monroe." Well," was the answer, "we meet now under pleasanter circumstances." As the train moved on the explosion of torpedoes mingled with the lessening cheers. At Americus a dense crowd were gathered, and cannon were furnishing the bass for the chorus of voices that hailed its arrival when the train rolled up. Mr. Davis and family, surrounded by the faithful committee, passed under an arch npon the platform built close to the track, and were greeted with enthusiastic cheers. Mr. Davis spoke briefly. He said that his people had received him with tender kindness at Americus. and that they returned now under better circumstances He thanked them for the renewed uvidence of their affection, and asked God's blessing upon them. The flowers at this point simply surpassed description. "To the daughter of Mr. Davis, from the young ladies of Americus." was written upon a card attached to a magnificent basket on whose handle perched a white dove, and all along ths route were the same demonstrations. The party arrived in Macon at 6 o'clock and are now asleep. To-morrow, receptions will bs tendered th.. ladies, BUSINESS E3IBARRASSUENTS.

In a number of places farmers were compelled to haul water to quench the fire where it had communicated to the turf. The burnt district comprises an area of about nine miles square, reaching from Grovertown to nearly the Kankakee river, and extending north from the Pittsburg railroad to the Baltimore & Ohio road. " Over 5,000 tons of hay have been destroyed, valued at above $16,000. ILLINOIS. A Minister Attacked by Insanity While Delivering a Sermon. Special to the Indianapolis Journu.

Brief Mention. It was discovered on Sunday that an unsuccessful attempt had been made Saturday night to rob the First National Bank of Abington. Albert Hyle, a switchman in the yards of the Peoria, Decatur & Evansviile railway yards, at Mattoon, caught his foot in a frog yesterday, and was run over and instantly killed. Scarlet fever of a malignant character is raging at Harvel, Montgomerycounty. The public schools have been closed and every effort been made to prevent the spread of the disease. Mrs. Sarah Klinck of Princeville, Peoria county, died on Saturday. She was the oldest person in the county and is believed to have been the oldest in the State. She was born Oct 24, 1782. Articles of association were filed yesterday at Peru, representing a capital stock of $100,000, ror the purpose of piping natural gas into that city from A no boy, fourteen miles distant or from Grant county, if necessary. Alfred Gannon, of Vandalia, murdered his three-year-old etep-son by drowning, three years ago, and was tried ana sentenced to fourteen years in the penitentiary. He knocked the keeper down and escaped from jail a year ago. He was captured at Richhill, Mo., Friday, and will be brought back at once. Gen. John McNulta has definitely stated that he is a candidate for Governor, and will ask for the nomination at the hands of the Republicans.

On Saturday evening the Hon. Warner H. Broaddus, of Harrisburg, Fayette county, presented to Connersville Post. No. 126, G. A. R.. a complete set of Adjutant Terrell's reports of the "Indiana Soldier in the War for the Suppression of the Rebellion." The gift was a timely one, and the donor deserved and received a hearty vote of thanks from the post in acknowledgment thereof. Mr. Broaddus was a member of the Legislature of 1872-73. It is hoped that his example in this matter will be imitated by many others in the State, as these reports are of great value to Grand Army posts.

LABOR INTERESTS. The Lockout In the Shoe Factories No Prospect of a (speedy Adjustment. Philadelphia. Oct 24. The differences existing between the shoemakers and manufacturers are no nearer a settlement than they were last week. A meeting of the employes was held to-day, when the question wasiully discussed as to what further action should be taken. The meeting was presided over by Mr. W. F. Ward, president of Sailer & Lewin's shop association. There were present five delegates from each of the twenty-three locked out shops employed by the manufacturers' association. The meeting was held in secrecy, but the assemblage, which represented the whole number of shops now idle, adoptei a resolution, with the unqualified indorsement of the district assembly and the executive committee for their action, and a communication was forwarded to the executive committee of the Manufacturers' Association, but the employes refused to make known its contents. Secretary Townsend, of the Manufacturers' Association executive committee, received the communication this afternoon. He also considered it imprudent to divulge its contents until the committee had framed its reply to it PresiJent Zeigier, of the manufacturers' executive committee, stated this afternoon that the inference drawn from this lockout is "that the manufacturers were willing to shut up their shops. This is untrue. There is not a manu facturer in the city but what has plenty of work for his employes. The business has never been so brisk at this time of the season as it now is with in the past four years. The question of replac ing our locked-out employes has never been con sidered yet but one thing is certain: that when they do go back it will be to work under different circumstances than when they went out" Bailey Is Not Talking Now. Pittsbukg, Oet 24. W. U. Bailey, one of the members of the general executive board. Knights of Labor, about whom there was such a contention at Minneapolis, arrived in this city to-day, en route to Philadelphia. This morn ing Mr. Bailey, when questioned in regard to the proceedings of the recent General Assembly, said: "I am not satisfied with the result of the convention, but I have no grievances to air and no complaints to make. Ths vote to reduce the executive board was in my favor. While I am not satisfied, I accept the inevitable and will do my best for the good of the entire order. No, I did not attend the Chicago meeting, and knew nothing about it" Walking Delegates Arrested. New York, Oct. 24. V. J. Merritt & Co., architects and builders, have secured the arrest of five walking delegates of labor unions on a charge of conspiracy.

A Fight That Did Not Occnr. Fort Smith, Oct 24. The reported fight between vigilantes and outlaws near Wewoka, I. T., last Thursday, is proved to be absolutely false. Ex-chief Bushyhead, of the Cherokee nation, says no such persons as those named in the dispatches ever lived in the Cherokee nation, and persons who left Wewoka last Saturday 6ay Trainer, the alleged leader of the outlaws, was living there Quietly and that no fight had taken place. Trouble is expected in the Cherokee nation, however, over the late election for chief, and efforts are being made by the weaker party to get United States troops there, and the impression is being made that trouble already exists. Everything was quiet in the Territory at last accounts. Serious political trouble is brewing, and a conflict may occur at Tallequah, the capital of the Cherokee nation when the National Council meets, two weeks hence, and the result of the election is officially declared.

To-dav hia report was submitted to the Council. It states that Superintendent Yenables made fraudulent entries, and that the actual amount of his frauds will never be known, but that certain evidence shows that the city, in a short time, paid for over a thousand tons of coal not one pound of which was received, and that incompetency, dishonesty and looseness prevailed in the department The Fidelity Bank Indictments.

New York, Oct. 24. An Atlanta, Ga., special says that Governor Gordon, in an intervtew, said that prohibition has been tried through local option in one hundred out of the 137 counties of the State, and not one county has gone back on its action. He did not hesitate to pronounce the result good. Atlanta had not been damaged. All fears of trade being diverted bad fyoved groundless. The change had noticeably enefited the freedmen. Mr. Lyona'a Hlfch-Pricfd Fan, New York. Oct 24 Some time ago Wo. H. Lyons, of Utica, N. Y., came to this city, and. passing the liquor store of Joseph O'Donnell, at Sixth avenue and Twenty-fourth - street, saw the legend ''UoteP over the door.

You will find Scotchman where you'll find anybody. Of course everybody , knows that And just at present in SanFrancisco we can't say that a Scotchman wants nerve or backbone, for there's one of them at the head of the grand jury. They tell a story of a Scotchman who died and went to heaven. St. Peter opened the gate, and be saw the streets paved with gold and the mansions in the skies.

Deserving of Confidence There is no article which so richly deserves the entire confidence of the community a Brown's Bronchial Troches. Those suffering; from asthmatic and bronchial diseases, coughs and colds, should try them. Price, 25 cents. CATARACTS. BY Dr. A. B. BARKER, the Ociiisit and Aurist One of the grandest achievements of the last cen tury and a half is the introduction and perfection of the operation for the cure of cataract Chief credit is given to Jacques David, of France, for its introduc tion, and the late Albrecht Von Graef e, of Berlin, for its perfection. This disease, whijih is a commo. one. consists of an opacity or cloudiness oS tho lens (or its capsule), a body somewhat larger than a pea, located between the center and front of the eye-ball. When normal it is transparent; its ollce being to collect and foe as the rays of light upon the retina, producing clear and distinct vision. At first but one eye is involved: but the other, from sympathy, will ultimately become blind. Its approach is attended with no pain, whatever the unfortunate patient is often ignorant of its presence until the sight is gone. There are several VAP.IF.T1ES OF CATARACTS, Designated as hard, soft lenticular, capsular, polar, zonular, senile and congenital. Most cataract patients will always see better in cloudy days or at twilight when the eye is shaded and the pnpil becomes dilated, I wish to call particular attention to tbe fact that cataracts are never formed on the external portion of the eye. Ths opaque spots and films that are often called cataracts are not suoh, but albugo, or lex. COMA of the cornea. Let this distinction be particularly made, for tho reason that they are so often confounded, even by doctors who go so far as to attempt a cure with eye-water, or, what is worse, try to scrape it off. Professor Howe says: "If any practitioner entertains the preposterous notion that a cataract is a film growing over the sight (cornea), let him at ones post himself in regard to the anatomical divisions of the eye." OUR TREATMENT AND SUCCESS. I treat soft cataract by breaking up the whole capsule of the lens, bringing most of it forward, where it is ab sorbed by the fluids of the eye, and vision is restored.. Couching has been largely practiced. I have never couched, cor do 1 think I ever will, because it is no , only dangerous, but it only gives s:ght for a short time. In hard cataract I extract the lens, an operation neither painful nor protracted, yet the most difficult in the whole range of surgery. If sure ther 9 were no complications I would not hesitate to promise my patients to restore vision in every case. The delay of treatment complicates the operation and lessees the chances for success. We therefore wish to EXPLODE THE ERRONEOUS BELIEF That if but one is at ected it should ba let alone on til. the other is blind, or, if partially blind in both eyes,' they should wait until entirely blind, or, if a child, it will outgrow it. These are delusions fraught witk danger; the earlier the attention the better. If we can see them early enough we can arrest the progress and obviate an operation altogether. Our phenomenal success in treating cataract is established beyond question by patients in the city treated a year ago i who had been r lade to believe by the regulars (?) that their ease was hopeless.
