CATHOLIC PRELATES SUED.
Kenrick and Kahn Asked to Account for
Trust Fund.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
ST. LOUIS, Oct H-Archbishop Kenrick
and coadjutor Archbishop Kahn, of the St.
Louis archdiocese were made defendants,
to-day, in a suit brought by the heirs of
John Walsh, deceased, to recover a large
trust fund. The allegations show that John
Mulanphy and John Walsh were partners
in a fishery business in Ireland some sixty
years ago. Mulanphy is said to have sold
out the business and left for America with
the entire proceeds of the sale. When
Mulanphy died, in 1888, his will made pro-
vision for the heirs of John Walsh, and
very large sum of money was placed in
trust with Bishop RoSalli, then the highest
Catholic Church official in St Louis, for the
benefit of the Walsh heirs whenever their
heirship could be legally set forth. Bishop
RoSalH gave place to Archbishop Kenrick,
to whom the trust fund reverted. Efforts
were made repeatedly to discover the legal
heirs but without success, they had emil
grated TO America and were lost sight of.
In $780, the descendants of Walsh learned
of the trust fund and made claim to it.
of the fund. but would take no step until
the claimants legally established their
rights Hence, the suit brought to-day
The amount at stake is fully 900. and
the outcome of the litigation. which is also
said to involve the Kenrick Diocesan Semi
nary, will be watched with interest.

LOSSES ON THE LAKES
Forty Vessels Wrecked or Strand

Special to the Indianapolis Journal

Speclal 10 the indianapolis Journal
CHICAGO Oct 17.-Later reports from
the great storm which swept the chain of
lakes last Friday tend to increase the list
of disasters. The missing boats are, to-
day, being heard from at all points, and an
approximate list of losses can at last be
made. Thus far it is known that forty-one
people were lost and ten vessels became to-
tai wrecks. Twenty-Five more are on the
beach or water-logged and whether they
can be saved not will depend much upon
the weather and their position. With these
twenty-nine estimate of losses can as yet
be made, but underwriters deem it probable
that at least thirteen of them will become
total losses. In addition to this long list
of casualties, nearly every boat out in the
big storm suffered heavy damages, although
they were able to keep afloat' and save
themselves from going on lee shores. The
total losses, including cargoes, with locality
and values are as follows:
Steamer Dean Richmond, foundered
Steamer Wocoken foundered in 'i-OVV
Lake Erie. Observation-Disclosures. 5000
Schooner James d. Sawyer, stranded

Schooner John B. Merrill, ashore on

To this list must be added two schooners
which are not yet identified. One is sunk
In Lake Erie, eight miles off Port Colborne
She Is thought to be the F. c. Leighton of
Port Huron. The other is sunk four miles
north of the Persian islands on Lake Su-
perior. Only the top of the masts Of both
boats are above the. water, and it is likely
that their crews, numbering six or eight
men for each. were lost. This will make the
total number of lives lost in the great
storm ftfty-four. The aggregate losses on
the boats stranded but which may be
rescued. and on cargoes damaged by water,
will exceed 100000 This was the estimate
of 6. conservative underwater to-day after
he had gone over the list carefully. To
these big figures must be added losses of
not less than $4,000 for minor damages,
many of which will never be reported in
print. This grand total of fifty-four lives
and $4,000 of property will add the storm
of Oct Il to the list of historic gales on the
great lakes.
