steamer has noated ashore, but is burned to
the waters edgo. The latest statements are
that the steamers books and papers were lost,
so that the work OF ascertaining just who was
lost and how many will be work Of some
difficulty. II is estimated that there were 100
passengers and crew Of forty on board.
About 1870 are reported to havo been saved.
Tho rest, it Is feared are lost. Three bodies
have been recovered. but have not yet been

Grayling, the GOODNESS Of Captain Coner and
the crew of the burned steamer, aud the fact
that it was daylight at the time of the dis.

DETROIT, Aug. 30.-Captain Conner of the
burned steamer Marine City telegraphs that
as near as he can ascertain six passengers aud
two of the crow were lost. Tho names Of tho
latter are Richard Schultz and James Cook.
The names Of missing passengers are yet un-
known, except that of tho man washed

An TRIDENT GERMIN.

A Rejected and Forlorn Lover Keeping
Watch Over the Object of His Affections.
For two or three nights past the presence Of
q German keeping vigilant watch over
house on Pennsylvania avenue, between Ninth
and Tenth streets, has been noticed by the
police and others whom duty or choice has
called out upon the streets ut late hour. This
mysterious sentinel appeared 10 be looking out
for some one whom he cxpected 10 see enter or
como out from the house. Last night police
officer was approached by woman living In
the house who wanted to know what steps
she would have to take to rid herself of
the annoyance of the constant presence Of this
man. The officer advised her, If she feared
any violence from him, to get warrant 1t
appears from her statement and from what
could be learned from the man himself that
for three years he has been paying attention
to young and rather pretty woman en-
ployed in tho house in question as dress
maker with view TO matrimOny. Recently
she has rejected his suit and received the at
tentions of other men. Last evening the
young woman went out driving with male
friend, and when she returned the forlorn
lover, who had been watching OH tho side
walk, attempted to seize her, upon which her
escort had to rescue her by force and guard her
into the house. The German remained about
the neghborhood for some time afterward, aud
stated to police officer that his heart was
broken that he proposed to wait three nights
longer and if his patience was not rewarded
by restoration of his former happy condi-
ton ho intended TO end his life.
