Ice Hound In Iake ATichiran.

MILwAUKEE, Feb. 1.-Two miles off Manistee harbor, surrounded by large ice fields that extend for miles into the lake, lie two large steamers helpless and with out fuel. Aboard of them are about 60 men and a large consignment of Iner- ohandise. They are the large car ferries Nos. and of the Ann Arbor line, whose massive ice crushers have heretofore been considered capable of blowing through any part of the lake in winter. Tho Ann Arbor line has asked Milwaukee vessel men to send relief. and arrangements have been made to render help to the ice bound vessels from Ludington.
 The boats have been fast in the ice since last Friday, and every ton of coal has been burned to keep tho crews from freezing. Captain John Fitzgerald of the MiIwau- kee Drydock company received dispatch from General Superintendent Ashtor of the Ann Arbor line saying that the ferries which are bIockaded by the ice of tho Michigan shore are without fuel, and ho requests that local agents send relief. Cap tain Fitzgerald communicated the condi- tion of the ferries to tho Flint and Pere Marquette company. and as a result word was received here that a relief expedition would be sent out from Ludington as soon as possible.
 Coal and possibly some food will be talk en out to tho ferry yboats. The arrange ments for the relief party are in charge of Superintendent Martin of the Flint and Pere Marquette lines If the steamers arc unable to reach the ice | md vessels from the Michigan side, n steamer will bo sent from this city. Tho car ferries loft Ke- waunee on Feb. l and were bound for Frankfort Both carry large oargoes oi east bound freight

 A little later the 4;l0 train came up. but was stopped by drift only 100 yards from the spot where the other thrce trains were piled up. But for this it would have been added to the ruins.
 It is said there were no flaglnen There were only S5 passengers on the trains, all told, and mono of them was injured. Most of them took refuge in farmhouses. but few came on to this city on foot. They suffered severely from the cold in so doing.
