WRECKS ON THE LAKES
SEVERAL VESSELS LOST AND A NUM-
BIER Of SAILORS DROWNED.
Schooner Pounded to Pieces Near Chi
cagO and None of the Crew
Saved-StOrm I'm Michigan.

CHICAGO, Nov. 10-Water-logged and
unfit to weather storm upon the lakes,
the S. Thai, a tramp two-masted schooner,
foundered off Glencoe in the gale of
Wednesday night and went to pieces in the
surf This morning the wreckage was cast
up on the beach, but no trace of the crew
has been found, and it is thought that all
went down after cutting loose from the
wreck in the ships dory. The schooner is
a total wreck. There are scarcely two tim
bers left together to indicate her dimen-
sions. That she foundered and went to
pieces on the sandbars some distance out
in the lake is evidenced by the wreckage
which covers the shore from Ravinia to
Wilmette, a distance of nearly seven miles.
The hull has disappeared and is supposed
to be resting on the bars just in shore from
where the schooner was seen to drop anchor
shortly before the storm broke Wednesday
afternoon.
The storm to-day was even worse than
that OF Oct. 70 and 70. The wind blew sixty
miles an hour. The schooner Iron Cliff
broke from her anchorage and was blown
out to sea- The life savers at once went
To the rescue of the crew. The lifeboat was
nearly swamped several times, but after a
long and hard struggle the crew succeeded
in getting her under the lee of the Iron
Cliff, which by this time was nearly water
logged and evidently sinking. One by one
the seven men composing the crew of the
Iron Cliff jumped into the waves and were
dragged into the lifeboat. Some of the men
were unconscious when rescued. Soon after
the iron Cliff sank in shallow water. She
Will probably be total loss.
Huge waves are tearing great holes in the
sea wall and the paved beach along the
lake front. The Lincoln Park commission
ers had just got well under way repairing
the serious damage done by the storm of
Oct %, but the heavy breakers have now
put the whole shore line in a worse shape
than ever. The action of the waves has
undermined the outer driveway in Lincoln
heavy granite blocks with which the beach
is paved. Along the north shore drive from
Byron street south the water ran across
the roadway and made it impossible. The
surf played havoc with the sea wall on the
lake shore drive and ate it's way into the
dirt embankment.

POSTOFFICE STATISTICS.
Annual Report of Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General BristOw.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1O.-The annual re-
port of Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral Bristow shows that there were at the
close of the fiscal year 1850 postoffices in
the United States, 1916 presidential and Co.
754 fourth-class. The net increase in the
number of postofices for the fiscal year was
2,54S The largest number of presidential
postoffices is in New York, with $50, followed
by Pennsylvania, with 284 Illinois 25T, Iowa
PIP and Ohio 2OS. The greatest number of
fourth-class postoffices are in Pennsylvania,
4,S71 New York 1884, Virginia 1921, Ohio
3,175 and North Carolina 1888.
In compensation Massachusetts heads the
list, showing average compensation for
her foIrth-class postmasters of 1896 per an
mum, followed by Rhode Island, 1919, and
Connecticut $3.50. In the amount expended
Der capita In the use Of the mails by the
people of the various States, Massachusetts
stands first, with $3.50 per capita; New York
second, expanding $227; District of Column
bia, third, $2.l6; Colorado fourth, $1.93, and
Connecticut fifth, $3.50. Lowest in this table
are South Carolina, 70 cents, and Mississippi
81 cents The total number of appointments
made during the fiscal year was 25, 6o3.
An interesting feature of the report re-
lates to the postal facilities for Alaska. In
spectors We're detailed to reorganize the
mail service in this Territory, which result
ed in the establishment of a line of post
offices from the Canadian borders TO the
and many other needed improvements We're
made in the mail service of Alaska upon the
recommendation of these inspectors.
Among the recommendation are that
severe penalty be provided for employees
embezzling or destroying newspaper mail
covering the transmission of green goods
and obscene matter through the malls, and
that a special strong stamped 10-cent en-
velope of superior material be adopted I'm
lieu of the present system of registering let
tiers. Many losses occur in the mails be-
cause of the poor quality of the envelope in
which the articles are incosed.
1t is also recommended that all money-of-
der offices be inspected annually, which
would be a radical extension of the inspec-
ton system, and it is stated would doubt
less be of great advantage to the service

PORT HURON, Mich, Nov. 1O.--The
steamer c. F. Curtis and three consorts,
bound down, were struck by the gale on
Lake Huron near Sand Beach this morn
ing. The Fassett finally went ashore near
Sand Beach and the life saving crew from
that point succeeded in getting all the men
off without loss of life. The Fassett is in
good condition and will weather the gale.
The Holland and Reed have not reached
here at a late hour tonight and fears are
felt for their crews Tugs have been sent
to search for the missing boats. The cap
tain of the Curtis, which has arrived here,
reports the worst storm he has ever eX-
perienced.

Furious Storm i'm Michigan.

DETROIT, Nov. 10.-Dispatches from var
ious points indicate a general and furious
storm throughout Michigan to-day, particu-
larly the southwestern part of the State.
In this portion from two to ten inches of
snow are reported, and it is still falling.
At Grand Rapids and at Decatur fully ten
inches is reported. The telegraph service is
seriously impaired and reliable news is
scarce. Telegraph and telephone poles have
been blown down for twelve miles south of
Saginaw, according to an account sent from
Saginaw by train to Flint and wired from
there. All trains in the southwestern por-
ton of the State are delayed, as we'll as
many in other parts.

A feature of "A Social Highwayman," at

Mr. Jaffrey incloses in a note to Mr.. Rem

subsequently tries to return to his master
is also genuine. AS the public understands,
it is as a general thing customary to use
merely stage money in such scenes, but 1t
is Mr.. Bellows's rule to make the produc-
tions as realistic in every detail and as ma
tural as possible. "A Social Highwayman"

The official canvass of the election returns
is being made in Room Superior Court by
the election inspectors, who constitute the
canvassing board. The work began yester-
day morning with the election of Harry
Sheets. inspector of the fourth precinct of
the Sixth ward as chairman. There was
an effort to have the out townships called
first, but it was voted down, and the cam
vass began with the first precinct of the
First ward. At j o'clock this morning the
canvass of the vote of the first six wards
was completed, with the exception of the
twelfth precinct of the Sixth ward. At
that time the clerks had not been able to
make the footings. but the indications were
that there would not be a great change in
the unofficial figures published in the Jour
nal. There were gains over the estimates
made of the plurality of Col. Harry B.
Smith and it was estimated his plurality
would be between 900 and 1000 based on
the gains over the unofficial figures. Fol-

But for the fact that not enough inspec-
tors were on hand with their returns last
night greater progress would have been
made in the official canvass. Deputy Clerk
c. L. Hare last night asked the newspapers
to urge the inspectors to appear at the
courtroom this morning instead of waiting
until the time they were told to come back,
when the plan to be pursued was determined
on yesterday. 1t is hoped to have the work
completed by this evening early, and all in
spectors who made their returns last night
were directed to return at 1880 o'clock this
evening to sign the final reports. The day
passed monotonousy. Col Harry B. Smith
and two or three of the other candidates
had representatives present to watch the
canvass and ascertain what changes it made
in the unofficial figures. Colonel Smiths
brother Horace Smith, was looking after
his interests. Mr. Smith said last night he
had discovered but few changes in the
figures. Representatives of the Democratic
county committee were watching the tally
sheets made up by the committee and COM
AT no time was there more than eight or
ten of the 229 inspectors in the courtroom
while the canvass was being made. Mr..
Hare found it necessary to send messengers
for the inspectors to come in so that the
work might not be retarded. At 1 o'clock
this morning no precincts of the Twelfth,
