HOLLAND, MICH, October 20.-A CORE
spondent of the Associated Press reports
,, that he has been to the shore and along The
beach for five miles, and found large guam
titles of apples, headings, and other freight
, also. portions Of the upper deck, stancblon'
and rail. gang.planks aud matches, and ont
door-Danel with the name OF the steamer
Alpena: also, two life. preservers, al
oar. and chair marked with stencil,
| "Steamer Alpena." A piano also came

I recognized by the agent OF the Good
, rich Line as belonging TO the Alpena
The body of q lady came ashore, which was
8 recognized as that of Mrs. Bradley. Cap
tain Butler, OF the Goodrich Line, has ar
rived at the scene OF the wreck, and watch
men are patrolling the shore for remains oil
the wreck or bodies. The wind has gone
4 down, but the sea is running heavy. Smal
pieces OF the cabin, upperdcck furniture
and bertbs are coming ashore.
CHICAGO, October 20.-The excitement
and suspense which for three days bavt
been hourly increasing respecting the tate
: of the Alpena changed to profound sorro"
on The part of those whose friends were
known or believed to be on board when to
DAVIS news not only failed to report hel
safety, but announced the certainty OF bel
destruction. The offices OF the Goodrich
Line have been filed with mournful faces
IL Is not deemed possible that any one car
have been saved from the wreck. Had ;
raft been made il could hardly have
lived five minutes amid the fierce beat
ling of the waves, and meme probably
will ever tell the story OF the wreck OF tn'
vessel. The men believe she struck tn
rock somewhere of the east shore and wen
10 pieces some distance from the Deach
There is much complaint OF The laxily o
the company in having no list oil the pas
sengers. The crew was thirty strong. l
is stated that when the vessel left Muskegal
: she had seventy passengers, and at Crane
Haven she took on five more, mostly wo
men. Goodrich, however, thinks the pas
seugers did not exceed twenty-five, or per
II haps twenty, in number.
