DROWNED In LAKE ERIE
WRECK OF THE PROPELLER
DEAN RICHMOND.

Dunkirk, in the Storm, and Went

to Pieces - Her Cargo and the
Bodies Of Her Crew Washed
Ashore
The Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
line propeller Dean Richmond was lost some
time during the night between Dunkirk, n
Y, and Erie, Penn, with all on board. com
prising a crew OF eighteen. She was loaded
with -four and grain and bound from Toledo
for Buffalo. There is no living witness CT
the disaster, and the manner OF it could only
be surmised from the wreckage and the
bodies that came ashore.
The Richmond put into Erie at 5 o'clock
p. m. to coal up, and departed shortly after
ward for her destination.
Next morning the shore from DunkirB to
Van Buren,, distance OF four miles. was
strewn with thousands of sacks of flour
pieces of ships furniture, etc.
About 8 o'clock q. m. Il body came ashore a
mile west of Dunkirk, and by papers on the
body it was identified as that of Albert G.
Dodge, of Fayette, Ohio, a sailor on the
Richmond.
In the afternoon two more bodies came
ashore. There was nothing on them by
which they could be Identified but mani
testify they were sailors.
To each Of the three bodies WAS fastened
life-preserver and rs they were only partially
dressed, it is presumed that the disaster
came without warning and that they leap0d
from their beds only to find death in the
raging waters.
All the bodies were terribly bruisei by
striking against the rocks, and il is believed
that death was the result of exposure and
pounding against the rocks, as they did not
bear the appearance of having been drowned.
The Richmond's after part came ashore a
few miles from Dunkirk in the afternoon. 1t
Is badly broken up.
From all that can be deduced from the ap-
pearance of the wreckage and the bodies the
propeller must have become unmanageable
and gone on the rocky shore, where the tre
mendous sea that was running quickly
pounded her to pieces. The sailors may have
been suddenly left struggling in the waves by
the collapse Of the vessel or they mGy have
had time to embark in tho small boats but
- either event the end could not have been
long delayed.
The flour which was consigned to Boston
parties is being gathered up by the beach

A dispatch from Buffalo, N. Y, says The

Point, forty miles from this city, near Dun

wreckage and merchandise. and the waves

mond's fate.
report from Erie, Penn, states that the
Dean Richmond's yawl has been found near
where the first two bodies were picked up
There can be no doubt that all on board
perished. The coast is full of rocks
tigh all night The Dean Richmond was a
thirteen -hundred-ton vessel, owned at Port
Huron, and valued at $40, 900. She was built
in 1869 and rebuilt in 1890. The vast amount
Of wreckage indicates that she went to pieces
late in the night.

in Freybourg, Switzerland, there is the
trunk of a tree 400 years old. That tree was
planted to commemorate an event About
ten miles from the city the Swiss conquered

TO take the tidings to the city. He took tree
branch and ran with such speed the ten miles
that when he reached the city waving the
tree branch he had only strength to cry Vic
tory" and dropped dead. The tree branch
that he carried was planted. and it grew to
be n great tree. twenty feet in circumference,
and the remains of it are there to this day.
NY hearer, when you have fought your last
battle with sin and death and hell, and they
have been routed in the conflict, it will be i
joy worthy of celebration. You will fly to
the city and cry tVictory!" and drop at the
feet of the Great King. Then the palm

become the outreaching tree of everlasting
rejoicing.

FOUND IN A CAR.
He Is Without Identification Save Col
lar Laundry Mark.

About o'clock last night a man was
found dead in an empty box car, in the Big
Four yards, near the Belt. east of the city.
There was no paper or article of any kind
upon his person that might lead TO an iden-
tification, save a laundry mark, the letter
"B," on his undershirt The car in which
he was found had arrived but few hours
before from Cincinnati, and the man was
discovered by one of the employees about
the yard. At the time he was discovered
il was apparent that he had been dead but
a short time There were no marks of vio-
lence upon his person TO indicate that he
had been killed. The railroad officials noti-
fed Flanner & Buchanan OF the find The
body was removed by them to their morgue
on North Illinois street, where 1t remained
during the night without having been iden-
titled. The coroner was notified bur did not
view the remains last hight and there is,
as yet, nothing to indicate the cause of
death. The man was apparently between
thirty-ive and forty years of age, and had
a sandy mustache.
From the condition of the body ut the
time il was found ii is thought that the
man had crawled into the car after its ar
rival in the yards, and died from some un-
known organic trouble. The coroner will
view the remains this morning, and bold
poSt-mortem examination.

CULTURE OF SUGAR BEETS.
A Syndicate That Expects to Erect q
Big Factory in Indiana.

The president of the Indianapolis Board
of Trade is in receipt of a communication
from Mr. Henry 3. Clifford, chairman of
the United Sugar Syndicate, New York,
in which he states that there is no longer
a doubt regarding the successful manu-
facture of sugar from beets grown in this
State. While it is not generally known,
this industry has become firmly established
and last year the sugar product OF the
United States from beets was 1900 tons
can bring greater benefit to the people of
Indiana than the establishment of this new
line, and the great benefits that are sure
to follow can be made positive if the Board
of Trade will take up the matter. The
syndicate, he says, is interested iii this
subject for the reason that it contem-
plates building a large central factory for
the manufacture of beet sugar in this State,
but it does not care to do SO until assured
of a steady product This can be done by
a little action. Beet culture, Mr.. Clifford
says, is SO little known, and yet it is such
an attractive subject, that he writes ask
ing if arrangements can be made for him
to deliver an address before the Board OF
Trade in December next, upon the sub
ject of Sugar in America" illustrating it
with views of the great French industry
Secretary Smith has acknowledged re-
ceipt of the communication and advised Mr..
Clifford that the same will receive the con-
sideration of the board in a few days, and
that no doubt arrangements will be made
for him to visit Indianapolis and deliver
his address at the Board of Trade in De-
cember, or probably earlier.

TAKEN TO HIS GRAVE.
George Rahke's Former Sweetheart
Creates Scene.

Police Matron Buchanan has a distressing
case. In her charge is Lillian Russell, the
young woman who came here from Louis
Vile to attend the funeral of her former
sweetheart, the late George Rahke. The
girl Is pretty and has an air Of refinement,
but is errinG, and the family of the dead
man did not desire her presence during
their hours Of mourning. She was locked
up two days ago and was brought before
the police judge yesterday morning. She
obstinately refused to go away and
turned to the station house The girl re-
sides in Louisville at No. GA West Tenth
street, and her father was summoned here
yesterday in the hope that he, might be
able to persuade her to leave the city. In
company with Police Judge StubbS. the
girls parent yesterday afternoon visited
her and used every argument in behalf of
reason but she obdurately refused to con-
sent to the arrangements made for her.
Yesterday evening, late, she piteouSly ap-
pealed to the matron to take her to Crown
grave of George Rahke. The latter finally
Consented to the plan and the two repaired
to the cemetery. For half an hour the girl
sat by the side of the little mound and
cried bitterly. When she returned to the
city she reiterated her determination to re-
main here. Her reason for so doing she says
is because she desires 10 live where she can
visit the grave of Rahke when she feels
so disposed. The unfortunate creature is
apparently sincere in her emotional display
OF grief for the dead.

TO SUE
Will Ask the Courts to Compel
Payment of Their Claims.
Meeting of the Fee Grabbers in the
Criminal Court Room Barrett
Bonds Not Prepared.

There was an indignation meeting held
Monday night in the Criminal Court room
by the Democratic election officers TO pro-
test against the present city government
forbidding their looting of the public treas
ury. 1t will be remembered that when the
canvassing board met to canvass the vote
they allowed the inspectors six days and
the judges three days time There were a
few honest men present who protested
against this outrageous action, but they
were hooted down. When the claims were
presented to Controller Trusler he refused
TO countenance the robbery and the in
spectors departed in great wrath. Their
wrath has been accommodating since that
time, and Monday. night they assembled in
the Criminal Court room and engaged in
vituperation against Trusler for his protec-
Son OF the city funds. There were about
125 inspectors, judges and election sheriffs
present, presided over by John Van Standt.
They were of unanimous opinion that
Controller Trusler had no right 20 protect
the interests of the city and prevent their
looting Of the treasury according TO their
sweet will. Resolutions expressing their
sentiments in this line were adopted with
out a dissenting vote and committee was
appointed to employ attorneys and test the
legality of the controllers opinion. The
committee was composed of John Van
Stondt, Morris Solomon and another
whose name was not learned Counsel will
be retained and the complaint filed within a
few dayS
