CHICAGO, Sept 9.-Late news confirms
the damage of the gale in the lakes dur
ing Thursday and Friday. The lumber
schooner Lavinda became waterlogged and

near Evanston when the tug Hackley re-
ceived her. The large schooner Pensaukee
555 tons, light, was beached at Cheboygan.

canvas. The schooner R. Winslow and
barge VIM. Rayner were driven ashore
above Port Huron. The storm during
Friday was very heavy along the west
shore of Lake Michigan from Milwaukee
to Chicago. Water was nearly three feet
higher than usual, the effect of a contin-
uous northeastern. Much damage was
done along the shore.
TERRIBLE LEAP OF FREIGHT TRAIN.
occurred yesterday afternoon at Kenosha
mountain, on the South park road in
which seven employees were injured and
three thought fatally. Conductor Living
ston, with freight train which had been
made into two sections was coming down
the hill, when the first section made the
grade successfully but at its base ran into
a construction train injuring four men,
but none fatally. The second section was
even less fortunate. Just at the top of the
immense grade, while running at the usual
speed, the engine jumped the track and
eight cars back of it were telescoped down
the embankment. E. S. Fister, en-
gineer, Edward Lake, head brakeman and
Conductor G. E. Livingston were injured
and probably fatally. The wreck was a
terrible one. The wounded men were ex-
tricated from the ruins and brought to
this city, arriving this morning when the
particulars were first learned. It is said
though unknown, the cause was that the
heavy train got the mastery over the en-
CINE and rushed down the mountain where
| the grade is 200 feet to the mile with ter
| rife velocity until sharp curve was en-
countered and the engine left the track
completely wrecking the whole train. That
| any one escaped instant death is almost
| miraculous.
