Chicago, December l5.-Judging from
the small crowd in attendance at the
opening of the Luetgert trial today. pub
lie interest in the proceedings has fallen
off greatly.

A LIVELY STORM

BOSTON, December 10 The storm which
began here Yesterday noon and continued
throughout the night seems to have been
felt over the entire New England States
and to have been remarkable for the heavy
rainfall which attended it. In this city

was presented to him he had paat little
sum to help him make up for the loss of
his clothing and property on the schooner.
The body of Anderson which is still
missing may be found today when the
weather clears, but there is reason to fear
that it has been swept to sen and will
never be found. This mornino soma of
the men along the water front are ooina
in search of it and believe it NAV vet be
found among the wreokage on Cushing's
island.
The spot where the Susan P. Tburlow
was wrecked was the most unfortunate
along the whole coast At almost any
other point in this vicinity the men
would have stood fair chance of being
taken off the vessel in safety. Had the
men on board the schooner displayed a
torch or signalled in any manner at that
hour in the evening their signals might
have been seen and help obtained for
them. The idea of signalling for help
never seemed to have occurred to any of
them. 1t was fully half an hour after the
vessel struck before Reimann left her
decks, and there must have been two or
three of the men still on hoard of her
some time later. The wreck did not 90 to
pieces until after the foremost fell,
probably, and this mast was still stand
ing when Reimann struck out for shore.
Had the wreck occurred on the Cape shore
the Cape Elizabeth life savers would GER
tainly have seen some of the wrackaae
and some of the men would have been
saved. AS it was there was no one on
Cushing's to give assistance until it was
too late, and SO some who might have
been saved were lost.
The Susan p. Thurlow was a three
masted schooner of 440 tons, 1875 feet in
length and 16 feet in depth. She was
built at Harrington, Me-, 1872, and her
sole owner was Captain j. H. Weldon
of New York. Her entire crew were
shipped at Philadelphia, November 49,
She sailed from Philadelphia to Boston
and thence to Hillsboro, n B., where she
loaded plaster for New York, being on
her way there when wrecked.
NAMES OF THOSE LOST.
An Associated Press dispatch from
Philadelphia, says: The schooner Susan
P. Thurlow sailed from Philadelphia
November II, for Boston, with a cargo of
bituminous coal consigned by the Penn
sylvan;a Gas Coal company, to the Wal
ham Gas Light company of Waltham,
Mass After discharpinp her cargo aft
Boston she proceeded on November 80 to
Hillsboro, N. B., and obtained cargo of
plaster rock for delivery at New York.
The vessel was owned by Captain Joseph
Weldon of Brooklyn, who has heretofore
sailed the vessel. On this trip he placed
the schooner in charge of his mate, L.
Helgersen. The crew, in addition to
Captain Helgersen, was composed of six
men, who were shipped at this port, in
November. The names of the crew were:
