BUFFALO. OCT. t6.-Eighteen persons. the
/ entire crew OF the propeller Dean Rich
/ mond, are given up for lost in Saturday
| nights storm ON Lake Erie. The corpses of
| five have been washed ashore at Van Buren
| Point, forty miles from this city, near

| dences Of the Richmond's fate. Another

have gone down with her crew Just off
| Gravelly bay, on the Canadian side, a few
miles from this city. She is owned by the

| Wreckage is still being cast ashore, and
! it is believed the Richmond foundered not
more than three miles out on the lake 1t
seams impossible that any of the seven
| teen souls on board her could have es-
capped alive. The Richmond was a Glover
| leat' boat, and her crew were all from
Toledo. She was the first of the larger
steamers which mark the coming of the
present style of marine construction on
the lake. She was of ,257 tonnage, and
was built in Cleveland in 1864, but was re-
| built in 1873 She was owned by Bolts.

! Flannery, Fritz Heimlich and John DIVER.

| CHICAGO, oct. 1G.-The severity of the
] tfnrsfl, l.t 1.,A .
lakes for the past forty y-eight hours has not
been exceeded during the season of navi-
| CATION for the past ten years. The list of
wrecks in proportion to the number of
! vessels which were out in the gale is
( larger, perhaps, than any in the history Of
; the latter day marines That there has
been large loss of life now seems certain.
J but 1t may be several days before it is
known just how many sailors persisted
Following is the list of wrecks thus far re-
! ported:
! Yacht Enterprise, steamers G. f. Curtis
( Maritanta, Schuyllill and Ironton. barges
/ Sweepstakes and Knight Templar, tug
Acme, schooners Isabel Reid. Nelson Hol-
/ land, Volunteer Falconer John 4. Mott.
/ Amboy, Mont Blanc and llouton, and un-
/ known schooner ashore near Mauistee.
The greater portion of these vessels were
cast upon the beach, and are being grapidly
washed to pieces. Two or three of them.
/ however, were sunk in the middle of the
! lake, and as there has been no word re-
ceiyed from their crews it is believed that
all have undoubtedly perished.
! Dispatches from all points along the
i west shore OF Lake Huron and the eastern
end Of Lake Superior indicate thar the
storm increased greatly in violence as
night came, and at midnight the storm
was at its height, but most of the lake
fleet had succeeded in reaching shelter.
/ SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich, Oct l6-The
gale was fell severely on Lake Superior.
Ihree boats are missing and one ashore.
Several had their cabins stove in by the
the heavy seas, which made a clean sweep
over the decks. The Canadian steamer ID
ID, Calvin, with the barges Ceylon and Au-
gusta, laden with 10000 bushels of wheat
left Fort William before the storm, bound
for Kingston. The steamer Alberta lefr
twenty-four hours after them and arrived

her captain declares was the worst he was
ever out in
