GIVEN UP Fob LOST.
The Bansna-Laden Steamship Acadi;
of Baltimore.


of Baltimore.
BALTIMORE, Md, May 1.-THE
steamship Acadia. of Baltimore, be-
longing to J. l.. Bell & Co., tropical
fruit importers, has been given up as
lost. She sailed from Port Antonio,
Jamaica, April 10, with cargo of
bananas, and up to the present has
not been heard from. Ordinarily she
made the passage in eight days, and
never longer than eleven. A few
days ago a. vessel arriving in Bos-
ton reported passing the house of a
steamer at sea, the description of
which was much like that of the Aca-
dia. Shortly after the Acadia sailed,
cyclone prevailed in the vicinity of
the West Indies, and it is presumed
she was caught in it. The following
are the names of those on board:
Capt. R. L. Bell, of Warsaw, Va;
Chief Mate w. P. Stark, Heathsville,
Vs.; Second Officer j ohm w. Med ougall
Virginia; Chief Engineer P atrick Dolan;
First Assistant James Rogers; Cook
Charles e. Hopkins; Stewardess Re-
becca Jacobs (colored) Fireman John
G. Roswagg Fireman John Lyons,
ana a. boy named VIM. II. AShman-
all of Baltimore; Seamen Henry
Smith, John Anderson, Sweden; Hen
ry Gable, Scotland, and Peter Cum
mings, Ireland; Coal Passers Michael
Marry, Ireland, and John McGinnis,
Liverpool. Engineer Dolan has a wife
and four children. Capt. Bell is also
married. Young Ashman is a nephew
of j. L. Bell, owner of the Acadia
and is about 15 years old. The AGA
dia was q wooded screw steamer of
224 tons register. She was built at
Norwich, Conn, in 1868. Her owners
had expended q large sum of money
on her the past year, and she was re-
garded as a safe vessel. It is possible
her crew have been rescued, and are
on some vessel bound on long voy-
age. Vessel and cargo were partially
insured
