at Racine-RcpOrtcd Loss of I'm
known ship OF south Chicago.
BUFFALO, Oct. 15-The saddest fea-
ture Of the lake storm which ragged yes
terday and last night is the reported
loss OF the steamer Dean Richmond on
the shore near Dunklrk. The first that
was heard Of that disaster was at 9
o'clock this morning when the captain
of the Helena reported having sighted
the Dean Richmond off Long Point,
where she seemed to be laboring under
difficulties. Later Capt Jack Tierney of
the steamer W. H. Stevens reported that
he sighted the Richmond in the middle
Of the lake about four miles this side of
Erie. One OF her stacks was missing,
and while he was looking the other
stack and spar went by the board. She
was laboring heavily in the trough as
though her steering gear had become
disabled. Since then nothing has been
seen or heard Of the vessel. 1t is
thought that she must have gone down
with all on board. Her cargo was
eighty tons of merchandise from Toledo
to Buffalo. She belonged 70 the Toledo,
St Louis & Kansas City line. Her crew
consisted Of about eighteen souls, of
which the following is the best obtain
able list:
GEORGE sTODDARD. master. To-
Iedo.
WALTER GOODYEAR. first mate.
Toledo
GEORGE - second mate. Toledo
JOHN LOGAN, first engineer, Port
Huron.
WILLIAM BROWN. fireman. Toledo.
z. WHEELER. wheelman, Toledo.
FRANCIS PATTON, lookout, Buffalo
Miss AINSWORTH, stewardess, Port
Huron.
A dispatch from Dunkirk this even
ing states that three unknown bodies,
apparently Of sailors. have been washed
ashore q few miles from that port. The
local agent Of the steamship line has
telegraphed TO every point on the lake
shore between Buffalo and Erie to keep
a sharp lookout for wreckage or bodies,
but so far has received no answers.
DUNKIRK, Oct. 15.-There is no fur
ther reasonable doubt that the steamer
Dean Richmond has gone down with all
hands on board. One Of the three bodies

gineer Of Port Huron, Mich. The sign
board Of the beat bearing her name
was later found. and some barrels Of
-four. which formed part Of her cargo,
have drifted to land. She must have
gone down of Lighthouse Point.
