 dispatch from Muskegon says there is not vestlge left of the schooner Grenada, which went to pieces off shore there The only survivors are William Bissell, the mate, and Angus Ilnklater, the captains brother The latter reports that the vessel left Chicago with smart breeze Friday evening, but the steering apparatus soon became worthless, and the schooner was at the mercy of the waves and the storm hourly increasing in violence. On Saturday noon the steward and a sailor died of exposure, and he himself prayed for death Sunday at noon land was sighted and they began to make a raft. One sailor was caught between parts of the rocking vessel and al-
 most crushed, but he was wrapped in canvas and put on the raft Waves washed him overheard. The captain lost his hold by the
 breaking of the raft and was drowned when near the shore. Tinklater held on for while
 and then swam ashore. All the rest of the
 crew (the number is not given) were drown ed.

 ed seven or eight miles out from that port
 just before dark Saturday night. She was
 apparently trying to run into the harbor Suddenly she swung around and pointed for
 the northeast. Two gentlemen were watch

 Friends.
 CHICAGO, Oct. 19.-There is no longer a
 shadow of doubt that the steamer Alpena is
 lost. The amount and character of the
 wreckage found at Holland proves it conclu-
 sively, and there only await the last sad acts
 in the tragedy, the washing ashore of the
 main wreck and bodies, to confirm the hor-
 TOT. The Grand Haven surfboat has been
 sent to Holland. No passenger list was kept
 ashore, but there seems to have been the full
 complement of officers, thirty-fve deck
 hands, two cabin boys, two wheelsmen and
 at least thirty passengers. The passengers,
 as far as can be learned, were W. S. Benham,
 editor of the Grand Haven Hesazd, and wife
 MT. Crossman, Miss B. F. Curtiss and Cap
 tain H. V. Squires, of Grand Haven; Mrs
 Bradley and two daughters, of Santa Fe
 Mrs. A. B. Gale of Illinois, sister Of F. H.
 Holbrook of Muskegon, agent of the Good rich Line H. T. Locke. agent of Hill Bros,
 New York Rev. Farre1 Hart and wife of
 White Pigeon, Mich. MT. Rider, agent of
 the Glass works, Syracuse, New York; John
 J. Bowen, ex-steward of the Alpena John
 Osborn, wife snd three children of Chicago
 Maggie, ex-stewardess of the A1pena N A.
 McGlvrey of St. Joseph, Mich. a man with
 three children, name unknown; 0. Kustene,
 Fred. SpOrGn auO dabG0Qg6r, or Grand
 Rapids; l.. Landreth, of Muskegon. The
 following are supposed to have been on the
 Apena: L. D. Peyton, New York Harry
 l.. St. Clair, Chicago; W. c. Pettybone, Chi
 cago; Jew by the name of Boblinsky, a
 soap buyer of Chicago. MT. Osborn, an
 Englishnan about 70 years of age, called at
 the Goodrich office this afternoon for news
 He said q have son, daughter and four grandchildren on the Alpena. God knows
 they are all have on earth, and think they are not on earth now" He was so overcome with grief that he could not even give their names. His son, John Osborn was an engineer and worked at Muskegon. He was engaged by Messrs. Furst S Bradley Wednesday last, and was to begin work yes- terday. He was about 31 years of age. His children were three boys and one girl, the oldest boy being between six and seven years. Among the anxious friends who sought l the office for news was Mrs. Peyton, | wife ofI. s. EPeyton, of New York, whose name has already been published as one of the SUD- posed passengers on the missing steamer Her husband had telegraphed her last week | that he had gone from Indianapolis to Grand Haven, and would leave by boat for Chicago | in about three days, which would be the day 1 the Alpena left. He has not telegraphed her since, but the Muskegon was coming this 1 morning and she hoped he might be on 1 board. The Muskegon came, but he was not on board The Muskegon re- ports that on the east shore all sorts of runors were flying about | and the deepest anxiety was felt, so deep that ! Sunday prayers were offered in the churches 1 for the preservation of the forlorn steamer and her unfortunate people.
 Another of those who sat in the Goodrich office this morning waiting for telegrams that l might keep alive the sparks of hope was an ] elderly gentleman who said his son was on | the A1pena, young man of Is, Fred. Henry, ! :. xl,o l through the summer for health and expert l ence Captain Goodrich said ''I am afraid | she is gone down. He thought Captain Ma l pier with his customary bravery wanted to 1 fight the storm was caught in the trough oi | the sea, then the freight shifting wheel was 1 taken out of the water and the boat went 1 down. The A1pena had about ten cars oi 1 freight on board. She was light of freight 1 and therefore high out of water and exposed l to the wind. Eight cars of apples and two 1 cars of shavings for stufing mattresses called
 Excelsior completed her cargo.
 WASHINGTON, Oct 19.-The signal corps l station at Grand Haven, Mich, reports to the chief signal officer as follows The side | wheel steamer Alpena, of the Goodrich Line, | Captain Nelson Napier, running between this l place and Chicago, left there Friday night, I and is reported wrecked of Holland No l doubt that she has gone to pieces. Her en- l tire upper works and cargo have been identi l fled. 1t is impossible to get correct list of 1 the passengers or make an estimate of the number.
 AFemaIe Body Washed Ashore. l CHICAGO, Oct. 19.-A des patch from Hol 1 land, Mich, at midnight says the body oi l Mrs. Newton Bra d1ey was washed ashore
 near Holland This confirms the worst fears l of the fate of the Alpena and leaves little l hope that any souls aboard of her survived. | The lake since Saturday has been so rough I and the weather so cold that no person could l have survived in the waves.
