DROWNED In LAKE ERIE
WRECK OF THE PROPELLER
DEAN RICHMOND.

| She Ran on Reef i'm Lake Erie, Near
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
with flour and grain and bound from Toledo
for Buffalo. There is no living witness of
the disaster. and the manner or 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 Dunkirk to
Van Buren,, a distance of four miles, was
strewn with thousands of sacks of flour.
pieces of ships furniture, etc.
About o'clock a. m. a body came ashore a
mile west of Dunkirk, and by papers on the
body 1t was identified as that OF Albert G.
Dodge, of Fayette, Ohio, 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 a
life-preserver, and as they were only partially
dressed, it is presumed that the disaster
came without warning and that they leaped
from their beds only to find death In the
raging waters.
All the bodies were terribly bruised by
striking against the rocks, and 1t 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 APP
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 may have
had time to embark in the small boats, but
in either event the end could not have been
long delayed.
The -four which was consigned to Boston
parties is being gathered up by the beach
dwellers.
A dispatch from Buffalo, N. Y, says The
bodies of Ave of the victims of the Dean Rich
mond disaster have come ashore at Van Buren,
Point, forty miles from this city, near Dun
kirk. The shore of the lake Is strewn with
wreckage and merchandise, and tho waves
hourly yield up further evidence OF the Rich
mond's fate.
report from Erie, Penn, states that the
Dean Rchmond'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
and the waves ran twenty feet
high all night. The Dean Richmond was
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.

DEATH OF GOUNOD.
The Great Composer Sank Steadily
After His ApopIectic Stroke.


M. Gounod, the great French composer.
died painlessly at 625 a. m at Paris. He
never recovered his faculties after he was
stricken. Many of his relatives and friends
were at his bedside when he passed away.
The direct cause of M. Gounod's death is
certified to have been general PARALYSIS of
the BRAIN
Charles Francois Gounod was born in
Paris on June II, 1918, and his first memory
oil music was when as a boy he listened to
his mother, a distinguished pianist. She
gave him his first Insight into a musical
education.
After finishing his classical studies at the
Lycee, st. Louis, he took his decree as Bach
elor of Letters In 1886 and entered the con-
servatoire. where he was in Halvey's class
Ior counterpoint learning composition from
Paer and Lesneur.
His first success in musical composition
was In 1887, when his cantata, ssMarie Stuart
ct Rlzzio," obtained the second prize of
Rome, which entitled him to study in Italy.
For several years he studied in Italy as a
pensioner of the Academic de France. A
few years later he determined to study for
the priesthood and devoted two years to
reading and attending a course of theology.
He discovered at the end of that time that he
was not destined for the priesthood and never
took orders.
Then followed long years of study of the
works OF Schumann and Berlioz, and then he
suddenly appeared for the first time In the
musical world, making his debut in London,
where he produced his first opera -s'Sapho'
in 1851, with Nine. Viardot in the principal
part
In rapid succession he composed choruses,
masses, symphonies His opera, "The Nome
Sanglante, was produced in 1854. But it
was not until he produced 'sFaust' that he
took front rank as composer. His compo-
sitions embrace almost the whole field of
higher music, with efforts at times in lighter
veins.
Hislast opera, produced in 1878. ''Polyen-
etc, contained flashes of the great compos-
er's power, but it never was classed by crit
les with "Faust.'

Nearly every member of the Council
was present at this meeting. and although
those not members of the committee took
no part in the voting they one and all had
something to say, and it was clearly evil
dent how they would vote in open meet
ing Monday night.
Mayor Pardee was also present and
made these significant remarks: ''What-
ever legislation is passed will be enforced
to the letter. II the Council says that
trains shall run at only certain rate OF
speed, we will see that the mandate is
obeyed."
The committeeman appIauded him. and
said they hoped such would be the case.
The two ordinances relating 10 the placing
of fagmen at important street crossings
were thrown into one and recommended
for passage. AS it now stands, the or
dinance will compel the railroad to put
signalmen at the following places: Bay
and G0ss streets. First and Franklin.
Seventh and Market. Twenty third avenue
and railroad right of way, Seventh and
Washington, Seventh and Broadway, Sew

Like the ordinance regulating speed. this
is virtually passed and will have the same
number of votes in its favor. Mr.. Barnard
wheeled into line last night and cleared
himself splcndidly of any desire to be the
friend of the railroad. He viii vote to
suit the people when the meas
ures como up for final action.
The only hesitating, wabbling man
in the room was Mr.. Dow. He goes over
to San Francisco every day and admitted
that he liked the flyer because he lived
near one of the stations at which it
stopped. Mr.. Dow seemed inclined TO
legislate for his own convenience, but
when it came to a vote concluded he repre-
sented his constituents.

The Oakland Enquirer yesterday con-
tanned two significant paragraphs. One
reads:

Oakland up in good shape. The head officials

The other paragraph is OF interest con-
sidering the fact that railroad agents refer
to those who travel free as hUOdlums. 1t
