              VETERAN LAKE CAPTAIN DEAD.
              
              JOHN A. LANGLEY Succumbs to Stroke
               of Paralysis at St. Joseph.
               
              Special Dispatch to The Inter Ocean.
              
              St. Joseph, Mich., Feb. 26. - CAPTAIN JOHN A.
            LANGLEY, a veteran lake captain, having sailed
            over thirty years, and well known on the chain
            of lakes, having acted as government inspector
            of hulls for three years, died this morning at
            his home on Langley avenue, a victim of paralysis,
            aged 60 years.
              For the last fifteen years CAPTAIN LANGLEY
            was a promoter in marine circles on the east
            shore. Through his efforts the steamer John A.
            Dix was operated in the passenger business be-
            tween Chicago and St. Joseph.
              Later he encouraged the Detroit and Cleveland
            Transportation company to enter the field, which
            resulted in the steamer City of Detroit being
            placed on the Chicago and St. Joseph run in op-
            position to the Graham & Morton Transportation
            company in the summer of 1894.
