capacity of 1900 bushels of grain through
the Welland Canal. She has three masts and
is fitted out with iron wire figgng and all the
late improvements. The peculiarly worthy of
particular mention is the fact that very little
paint has been used, the hull, both inside and
out being the natural color OF the wood
planed smooth and oiled. Ifet builders

claim that extra pains have been taken with
the selection of timber aud in the general

SHIP WRECK-Loss OF TttE IRoSsIDEs,-
The Propeller Iron Sides left Milwaukee Sun.
day night the 14th-.he list OF passengers was
two seamen not registered. The steamer hove
IN sight off Grand Haven z. A. NJ. but did not
attempt to make port on account of tile high
sea and the many eviderces of failure of
vessels and barges on the beach. The steamer
headed seaward again and at o'clock appear
ed to be about nine miles cut, She was seen
to have fires until about teh o'clock, when no
ftlfr
foresail was then raised, but she had been
leaking Considerable aud the wafer gained so
fast that at l2 o'cio * it was evident she must
SO down. The passengers were all supplied
with life preservers and stood ready TO take
the boats. At II go Captain Sweetman; or
dered the life boats TO be got in readiness and
launched. The first boat contained all the
ladies but one, the second boat contained ten
or twelve of the crew and passengers in the
third was tile clerk Of the boat one lady Miss
Ward, five passengers and two of the crew.
There were two more boats but it is thought
that the last one did not leaye in time to get
lar enough from the steamer before she went
down and was drawn in and swamped. The
steamer sank at u 80, going down stern first.
The first boat that left the steamer containing
the majority of the ladies was eapszed and
only of the passengers was saved. The sec
ond aud third boats succeeded In reaching the
shore but only with the assistance of those on
shore who hearing of the terrible calamity
rushed to the beach by multitudes. The beach
was lined with people for about two miles,
but the fourth and fifth boats could not lie
reached in time to offer any succor. So high
was the wind that the boats were driven
ashore before any person could get to them,
and were oil overturned In the surf Strong
men and expert swimmers formed lines in
tho watet, and Ia Ibis manner every body,
dead or alive, within reach, was recovered
So terrible was the sea that no assistance
could lie rendered to the steamer and living
freight. The Propeller Lake Breeze, which
was In port and owned by the same company,
made an attempt to go to the assistance of the
boats but was disabled and narrowly escaped
going on the beach. She dropped her ani
chor and lay there until towed OIL in tire after
noon.
The steamer fronsides was valued at $780,.
900 and was partially insured. She had on
board thirteen thousand bushels ofgrain, five
hundred barrels oil four, one hundred barrels
Of pork and sfndries This was not considered
much of load. Her capacity is eleven hun.
