The Steamer Manawa Siuks Into the Lake, During the storm last night Lake Man- awa was the scene of a steamboat dis- aster. During the evening the shores of the lake were lined with excursionists, but a storm suddenly " arising about half past eight, the ecrowds rushed panic-stricken on board the steamboats. The scene was indeed one to strike terror to the hearts of the timid. The deep darkness of the night was lit by the ocea- sional ]i){hlnmg flash only to show the usually placid lake lashed into a foaming fury. “Meanwhile the rain poured in to rents, All the excursionists got safely on board the steamboats, and the boats started to cross the lake to the north side where the hotel is situ- ated. All the boats erossed safely except the steamer “Ma While the pas- sengers were Fn-umz on bonrd this boat on the south side of the Inke, it was dashed against the landing and a hole was crushed in her side into which the water rushed, The eflect of the acci- dent was not noticed until the boat about the middle of the lake when it was suddenl discovered she was sinking! Taking into consider- ation the rough condttion of the lake and the peril of those on hoard, there was naturally much confusion. The scene s ensier imagined than described. The cries of distress from the wrecked boat were heard by the people on shore, who lent a ready help, and all but four were resoucd from the wreck, These four, despite all efforts to save them, sank to the bottom of the lake. Atleast it wasso reported at 1 o'clock this morning. One ot the persons reported lost is [sase New- man of this city. No blame was attached 1o anyone for the terrible accident. The sudden storm, the darkness of night, and e hurry to cross the lake, ara the trio of circumstances that favored the disaster. Later—Reports from Manawa at 3 o’clock 1ndicate there were neither of the four persons drowned who were on the illtated steamer, but all saved. i g e, IT POURED. Last Night's Refreshing Fall of Rain, Yesterday was only a decree lessin heat than was the previous day. Every- body pufled, perspired and growled to his neighbor about the heat, mopped the perspiration from his face and prayed for a zephyr from the north pole. 1t came —leastwise if it wasn't & zephyr from the north pole 1t was the equivalent thereof. People didn't stop long to enquire where it came from. It was too welcome to question, and it was drank down in deep draughts as a nectar from the gods. Dark clouds began to moye toward the eity from the westwred in the early evening. Shortly after 8 o'clock the clouds spread out o'er the city and were soon followed by a heavy fall of rain. It rained with a vengeance and as if it meant to wet things. It did. It wasn't long until the gutters were miniature rivers_and over- flowing the street crossings. Pedestrians sought shelter indoorways, and the street cars were crowded with ~wayfarers anx- ious to get in doors. At 10 o’clock it was still raining, and there was a cool and delightful breeze which refreshed parched humantty and promised a pleasant night for sleep. —_— Irish-American Club, The Irish-American club is a new or- ganization in this city. Such clubs have been in existence in New York, Chicago and other places for many years. The object of the club is to advance the inter- ests of Irnshmen and their friends gener- ally, but especially in the political field. The Omaha club started out last night with a membership of ninety-four, with many applications for mmnbefshfp not disposed of. Every ward in ths city is represented. The club will give a ball in Exposition hall September 5, which, being the first annual, promises to be a success. For the present the workings of the club are secret, but some of the best people in the city belong to it, and many others are anxious to join. U. P. Changes. There was some talk on the streets las evening about the possible resignation of soveral of the most prominentof the Union Pacitic officials, 1n the move of re- trenchment now being made by Mr. Pot- ter. From the manner mn which Mr. Pot- ter has been decreasing his force lately it is possible for almost any person to prognosticate the most radical of dis- missals and still be not far away from what may Iater take place. With respect to the sensutional rumor, however, it may be said that it was faked upon an im:;fiinnlivu article which ap- peared in the Chicago Times of yostor- day. Mr. Potter was out of town last night, and his secretary knew unlhim{ about the matter except such as he had learned from the Chicago paper in ques- tion. To-Days Game. The Kansas Citys and the Omahas meet agnin this afternoon, and the great game of yesterdry will probably mnduce a large turn out.

Below will be found the names and positions of the the two teams for to-days game* Omaha. Pos. ansas City Banndle. .c Graves Bartson Fullelback. Walsh . Bader, . Mansell .Hassamar Annual Exposition. Robert W. Furnas, socretary of the state board of agriculture, announces that the twenty-first annual exposition of the Nobraska board of agriculture will be held at Lincoln on September 9 to 16 inclusive. The previous expositions warrant the assertion that the one thiy year will be all that the character of the management assures. When it is under- stood that the state has so wonderfully improved in the last year and that those who have charge of the exposition are fully up to the time, it can be safely said that tho twenty-first will excell all’other expositions that have gone before. Soclety Directory. The family directory of Omaha will make its appearance on September 1. The first number of the “Blue Book," it will be remembered, was issued last year and was well received. The book is to be issued by Chase & Eddy, will contain a complete list of the best known people of the city, and a great deal of other uso- ful information. The book will no doubt receive as cordial a reception as did the initial number. Alleged Fictitious Stock, David J. Collins, of the Nebraska tile company has entered suit against Samuel J. Howell, John B. Rowley and Charles Westren, respectively president, secre- tary and treasurer of the company, on the grounds that they have been issuing fictitious stook. Collins and others of the stockholders belng dissatisfled with the management of lt‘fa corporation, de- cided to call a meeting to eleot new officers. Collins olalins " that they were circumvented in their lummom‘:y the trickery of Howell, Rowley and Westren who {ssued spurious stock to the amount of fifty shares n"‘lw each to Harry B. Adams; 80 that Adams’ vele added to their own retained them in their present positions. According to the rules of the company 30 per cent of the par value of the stock must be deposited at the time of the purchasé, But Collins claims that no money wiatever has been re- ceived on tho cdrtificates issued to Adams, and that he'ls ‘a poor man and unable to pay_for th¢m. Collins there- fore brings suit to restrain Adame from voting on the stock: represented by tho certificates he holds, and also that the same be declared illgal and void. Where is I$e# Brother?

He makes $20,000,000 of this out by charging the government with the discount at which the bonds were placed owing to the gold premium, with the in- Lercet on this discount added. Much of the rest is composed of allowances for transportation which the government neither contracted for nor got,but which Mr. Standford claims it ought to pay for because the company had counted on it, He wants damage for the sinking fund law also, Mr. Stanford asserts that in aiding in the construction of the Northern Pacific and certain other roads the goyernment wronged the Central Pacific by diverting traflic from it. This is a curious plea to put in by one of the buildersof the Souther acifie, which injures the Cen tral Pacitic more than any other road Just why the government should be mude responsible to the company tor the premium on gold and for changes in the rate of interest when it is simply a guar- antor for the bond, d. not appear. But waiving the ridiculous character of Senator Stanford’s bill, how does it dis- pose of the charges of corruption? And t the property has been so poersecuted by the government, where do Stanford's, Huntington's and Crocker's hundreds of millions come from? A very interesting phase of the present situation is the fact that President Stan- ford, of the Central Pacitic railroad com g v, has a phantom bill in its behalf of 65,000,000 against the government, and sits in the United States senale to advo- cate its allowanc i i THE FISHERIES OF ALASKA, An Unlimited Supply of Excellent Juneau s ¢ Press: The waters of Cboth fresh and salt, teenm with fish valuable as food, oil pro- ducers und fertilizers, The fresh water streams are, from June until September, crowded with salmon of excellent quality and trout; of the former e, und of the latter as many sp Salmon, too, throng the bays and 1lets on every bank in Behring sea, the gulf of Alaska, and throughout the inland waters codfish or halibut, according to the nature of the bottom, are abundant, and in their 1sons immense schools of herring, melt, capelin, lancetish and dogfish visit the bays.
