         Captain Killed - On Thursday night last during a thunder
       storm, CAPTAIN ALEXANDER JESSAMER, of schooner Mears, was
       killed by a fall from the top of the cabin to the deck, a
       distance of about eight feet. His neck was broken by the
       fall. The vessel, bound up, was off the North Manitou at
       the time of the accident. The body was taken to Milwaukee.
       CAPT. JESSAMER was about forty years of age. He leaves a
       wife and children in St. Catherines, Missouri, and has a
       father and mother living in Cleveland. He was highly es-
       teemed by all who knew him.
