Fate of a Schooner That Was
Used as an Experiment
SHE WAS DASHED TO PIECES.
A Thrilling Sight from the Tim tht
truok tht teething Rapid Until
th Mighty Falls Tort Htr Into
pllnters A Pair of Tough Qseso.
Tbo following story of th flrtt pub
lie eicurtlon to Niagara Falls wan
written n tbo tlmt bjr an eyewitness:
"Too schooner Michigan was tbo
. largest vessel on Lake Erie at tlmt
urns. She was too largo, In fact, to
tutor tbo various harbors on tht lsko.
and, being somewhat decayed In hoi
uppers, the owner, Major Prater, got
tbt Idoa tbst she would snswer th
purpose of tutting tbe fate of vessel
tbst by accident might approach too
near tbe cataract and Also the fate ol
living things tbst might be caoght in
tbt rapid. The proprietors of the
Isrge publlo bouses at tbe falls on both
sides of the river and of stages snd
' steamboats undo up purse to pur
cbtse th schooner, a war that (bey
would be amply repaid by the specta
tors that tbe exhibition would attract
"For several days previous to tkpt
0, 1828. the day for which tbe affair
was died, which was Saturday, tbe
stages and cniialboata csme to Buffalo
crowded with people. On the ulght
of Sept 5 wsgons (tiled with country
peoplo rattled through the village In
unbroken proceeslou all night long, and
00 the morning of 8pt 0 Buffalo it
self seemed to be moving In one mass
toward the point of attraction. Five
steamboats bad been advertised to
leave Buffalo Saturday morning. They
were the Ilmry Clay, William Fcnn.
Pioneer, Niagara and Chippewa. The
Chippewa was appolntod to tow the
schooner Mlcblgan to tbe Niagara river.
1 was a passenger on her.
"As soon ss w got well under way
th seen becsiue Interesting. The oth
er four steamers cam plowing along
In our wake, crowded to tbe guard
with passengers and bands of music
playing. Tbe Chippewa towed tbe big
schooner to Yale's landing, on tbe Can
ada side of the Niagara river, where
our passenger went ashore, as did '
thou of th William I'enn, Tbe pas
sengers of th Henry Clay And Pio
neer landed on the Amerk-sn side.
Tale's Landing was three miles above
th falls, and th crowds of people
wer taken from there on down tbe
river In wagons of all kinds. The hour
fixed for towing the Michigan from
Tele's Landing to th rapids was 3
In the afternoon.
"This task, an extremely hatardotis
one, was Intrusted to tbe oldest sailor
on the lake. Captain Rough With n
yswl boat and five sturdy oarsmen tbe
old captain got the scboooer under
way. They towed her to within a quar
ter of a mile of the first railds and
within half a mile of the tremendous
precipice Itsolf-a near as they dared
approach. They cut the bhi vessel
mill ft. and she ptissed mnjimtlcally on,
while the oarsmen of the yawl bad to
bond their every nerv and muscle to
remove tbemsulves from th peril of
being drawn down by tbo rushing wa

and apprehension of th men that they

"The high grounds on both shores of
th river were lined with people as the
Michigan, ungulded by human agency,
approached, bead on, th first rapid of
the seething descent, apparently keep
lug tbe very course that a skillful nav
igator would bnv guided her in, Th
American ensign streamed from ber
bowsprit and the British Jack floated
at ber stern. The vessel shot tbe first
rapid unhurt, still bead on, making a
plunge, shipping a sea and rising from
It In beautiful style. In ber descent of
th second rapid, the water momenta

water, and, after remaining, at It teem

Unlets Another Uncle Cuaranteea to
Take the Lad in Charge He Will
Be Sent Back Again. ,
NEW YORK, Feb. 20. When Ben
jamin Oskrud, 16 years old, of Odes
ta, Russia, arrived in this country for
the seventh time last November, hav
ing been deported by the immigration
authorities on each of hit previous ar
rivals as a stowaway, he was permit
ted to remain on representations that
his uncle would take care of him.
No whe is again in charge of the im
migration authorities on Ellis Island,
who may deport him for the eighth
time, his temporary guardian here re
questing them to take such action,
after he had had so much trouble with
the lad that he is unwilling to longer
keep him in charge. .Success of an
appeal to another uncle of Oskrud in
Pittsburg to guarantee his support is
said to be the only thing between the
youth and another trip under the gov
ernment s auspices back across the
Atlantic. -
Italian Shot.
CHICAGO, Feb. 20.-Calvi Fortu
nati,, who was shot in a saloon Feb
ruary 8 and who was spirited away
from the Emergency Hospital, sup
posedly by "Black Hand" conspira
tors, was found, last night in a room
ing house. Detectives who found the
Italian were unable to learn from him
how he left the hospital, or through
whose assistance. He refused to talk
of the shooting in which he and Fhil
ippl Catalona figured. , v
It is thought that he M Catalona
had quarreled over the payment for
a girl that Catalona is supposed to
have sold to his friend. Fortunati
was found propped up in bed, sur
rounded by several Italians. , He was
taken by a policeman, although still
suffering from the bullet. Catalona
is at the county jail charged with
shooting Fortunati. ,

in wail Street are as nonest as the

Forgan, president of the City National
Bank, in his speech last night before
300 members of the Evanston and
North Shore Business Men's associa

in Evanston.
"Where 90 per cent of the business
of a nation is conducted on a credit
system, as it is in this countryconfi
dence must be retained or a panic will
follow such as was experienced here
in October," said Mr. Forgan. "Credit
rests on the confidence one man has
in another. In New York last Octo
ber this confidence was shaken for a
time and the panic followed as a na
tural consequence. ,
"Where one dishonest man is found
in the banking business there are hun

"Our banking system was a good
one when it was organized, but it is
50 years behind the times."
