Almost three hundred drown on Lake Michigan in an excursion steamer collision

The 300 foot, 1000 ton steamer Lady Elgin left Chicago around midnight on a pleasure trip with 300 passengers and 85 crewmen aboard. Just before dawn she collided with the schooner Augusta.  Little damage was suspected but suddenly the Lady Elgin's boilers dropped through her bottom and she immediately sank. Only 100 aboard were saved.  The dead included the owner of the Illustrated London News, Henry Ingram.  (By John Osborne)

First International Chemical Congress meets in Karlsruhe, Germany

The first modern international meeting of scientists in chemistry took place with the three-day conference in Karlsruhe, Germany dubbed the First International Chemical Congress.  Organized by leading German organic chemist, August Kekulé, the conference attempted, with little initial success, to standardize terms in the chemical field.  It also heard several important papers, including Amedeo Avogrado's hypothesis on volume of gases.  (By John Osborne)
