Narrowly Escapes Himself.
GaliipoIis Journal. Saturday.
Col. John u. Vance and family
had very narrow escape from in
slant death early this morning.
The journal called on Col Vance at
the Bulletin Office and got from him
an account which we will give in
his own language. He said: II
came down very early to catch the
train for my son Cruez, who was
going to Chicago. There were four

We came down the river road to
Olive street and there turned over
toward the depot. When we reached
End st. / noticed a tree blown down
and lying across Second street My
first thought was that the tree
might frighten the horse as it was
quite dark and could not be very
plainly seen. Just as the horse

ed, and before j reached the horse
the driver called out: sLook out;
that is the wire" He did not say
s'trolly wire,' but 1 knew what he
meant, and jumped clear of it. The
horse by this time had fallen and
was lying on his side across the
wire pressing it to the ground, and a
regular sheet oflightning was play
ing around from in under him. He
was probably dead before he reached
the ground. The wire was proba-
bly, a little above the ground and
his leg struck it, and short circuited
the current through his body. We
consider it very fortunate, on the
whole, that none of us were killed.
If the driver had not called to me 1
would have probably touched the
wire in less than another minute,
and would have been killed too.
1t was a narrow escape, certainly,
and Col. Vance is to be congratu-
lated that it was not much worse
than it was.

Schooner Lost-steamer Missing.

MANIsTEE, Mich, Oct. 1T.-Nothing
has been heard of the steamer Henry
johnson, which had the lost schooner
Minnehaha in tow on Lake Michigan
Sunday. The last seen of the steamer
was when she passed Manistee going
south Sunday afternoon. Telegraphic
inquiries at Ludington, Muskegon and
other east shore ports showed that she
did not run into any of them. It is
evident that the storm was too strong
for the steamer to breast and she was
running before it.
Captain William Packer. the only
survivor of the Minnehaha, arrived
here Sunday with the lifesaving crew.
The captain swan mile. and with the
aid of plank reached the shore. The
sailors tried to follow him, but were
drowned. The schooner was loaded with
corn, bound from Chicago to Port Ed
ward and went ashore at Arcadia,
north of here. The dead are: John
and Martin RAFFERTY,, Mary. Keefe, Olafe
Peterson. Henry. North and - Bres-
nan. All were from Cleveland.

CHICAGO, Oct. 17.-The severity OF
the northwest gale of Saturday night
has not been excelled during the season
of navigation for the past 10 years.
The list of wrecks, in proportion to the
number of vessels which were out in
gale, is perhaps larger than in the his.

there has been large loss of life now
seems certain, but it may be several
DAYS before it is known inst how many
sailors persisted.
Dispatches from all points along the
west shore of Lake Huron and the
eastern end of Lake Superior indicated
that the storm increased in violence as
night came on, and at midnight the
storm was at its height. AT numerous
places the wind registered from 90 10
60 miles an hour at the United States
signal station. At Marquette the wind
registered 50 miles an hour at the sig
nal station at 80 Saturday night.
On Lakes Erie and Huron
The storm on Lake Erie was by far
the worst of the year. AT noon the
wind registered 60 miles an hour from
the southwest, at Buffalo, and was in
creasing. Six vessels ashore in the vi.

fury of the gale on upper Lake Huron.
All dragged their anchors and were

Many lives were lost. Entire families
were lost, and the country for miles
around is devastated. So far as known
over score of lives were lost.
The tide rose three feet in some of
the houses on Pawley's island, well
known summer resort. The residences
of DIR. II. NJ. Tucker, B. p. Fraser and
l.. @. LaChicolte were washed entirely
away, the inmates only saving the
clothes they had on. No lives were lost
on the island.

the harbor took the alarm early and

The Clyde line steamers have all been

The resident portion and the pleasure
ground of the city were three feet in

til 8 o'clock Sunday morning.
The widest rumors, in lieu of no posi-
tive information, are afloat regarding
the destruction in Savannah and points
south and among them the so lately de-
vastated sea islands. Inhabitants of
these regions were all in a homeless and
helpless condition.
Miss Clara Barton, president of the
Red Cross society, says the condition
of affairs on the sea islands has not
been exaggerated. She thinks Satur-

but it drenched everything, and she
fears considerable pneumonia will be
the result. She says the society is Civ.
