Especial Telegram to the Globe.l
DuLuTH OCT. 19.--No tidings are vet re-
ceived from the vessels reported yesterday as
not heard from. The tug Favorite is thought
to have made Grand Marais,
but this is merely SPECULATION.
The schooner Mary Ann Hulburt is reported
TO have been seen off Raspberry Island bound
towards Duluth at F. M, Friday. She had a
crew of but four men, and a cargo of $4,000
feet of lumber. 1t is thought that the barge
j. I. Whiting aud her consort, the schooner
Guiding Star, have made some port on Kama
nav Point, perhaps Copper harbor. Fears are
entertained for the barge j. r. Whiting, the
tug Favorite, and the sehooners M. A. Hulburt
and Guiding Star, now overdue five days.
THE STEAMER ALrENA.
CHICAGO, Oct. l9.-An Associated Press cor
respondent telegraphs from Holland, Mich, this
morning that lot of camp
stools, part of forward deck and inside
partitions. showing fine granting and evident
ly belonging to steamer. were washed ashore
on the waves a mile north of the harbor. Also
q bucket marked 'steamer Alpena," q spiral
stairway, and q piano with the lid torn off were
found. Men are watching the shore for other
portions of the wreck.
HOLLAND. Mich, Oct. ia man Just in
from Ventura, eight miles north. says that
during the night bucket, two life preservers
and a cabin door, ali marked 'Alpena,'' came
ashore there.
GRAND HAVEN, Oct. ia large quantity of
freight from the Alpena has come ashore six
miles south of here. Hundreds of citizens are
now on the beach, hunting for pieces of the

THE BARGE TRADER.
MONTAGUE, Mich, Oct. l9.-The messenger
sent by the Associated Press to Stoney Creek,
yesterday, returned at o'clock this morning
with information that the cabin floor reported
washed ashore ct that place, and supposed to
be that of the Alpena, proves to be nothing
more than sm all portion of the promenade
dock of the barge Trader, which water logged
last Monday night. The two sections found
near the White Lake piers and supposed to be
part of the Alpena's wheel rope, belonged pro-
badly to the Trader. On account of the drift
wood and lumber which had been thrown upon
the beach and laid in one endless heap six feet
in height, the patroler considered it decidedly
useless to look further during the night, and
will therefore wait till daybreak, when they
will continue their search.
CHICAGO, OCT. 19.--The steam barge Trader
which plies between Chicago and Muskegon,
and does q lumber business and which accord.
ing to advices and reports of officers of the

and manned by crew of ten. She measured

MRS. BRADLEY's BODY COMES ASHORE.
HOLLAND, Mich, Oct. l9.-Have been to the

heading and other freight; also portions of the

longing to the Alpena. The body of
lady came ashore this morning which
is also recognized by the agent as being Mrs.
Bradley, who, with her two daughters, had
been stopping at Grand Haven during the
summer, and were on the way home to New

has just arrived at the wreck, and watchmen
are patrolling the shore looking for wrecks or
bodies. The wind has gone down, but the sea
is running heavy. Small pieces of the cabin,
upper deck, furniture and berths are coming
ashore.
MORE THAN FIFTY LIVES LOST.
CHICAGO, Oot. 19.-Ths excitement aud sus-
penss which has been hourly increasing for
three days, respecting the fate of the Alpena,
changed to profound sorrow and angu ish on
the part of those whose friends were kp own or
believed to be on board. when the news of to-
day not only failed to bring word of her safety
but announced the certainty of
her destruction. The officers of the Goodrich
company have been filed with mournful and
inquiring faces, but no cheering word could
be given out, and as the last hope faded there
was look of despair and despondency de-
picted on each countenance. It is not deemed
possible that any person could have been saved
from the wreck. If raft had been built it
could hardly have held together five minutes
amid the fierce beating of the waves and it is
probable nobody will ever tell the story of the
wreck of the Alpepa. Vessel men believe she
struck somewhere off the east shore and went to
pieces considerable distance from the beach.
There is much complaint at the laxness of the
company in having no list of passengers.
The list sent to-day from Grand
Haven is of course only partial.
The crew was from twenty-five to thirty strong.
1t Is stated that when the vessel left Moskegon
she had seventy passengers, and she took five
at Grand Haven, mostly women. Mr.. Good
rich thinks, however, the passengers did not ex-
ceed twenty-five, or perhaps thirty in num-
Der.
