STORM ON THE LAKES.
Steamer Found 1t Difficult to Breast
the Gale.

the Gale.
CHICAGO, Aug. 16.-Lake Michigan
Was lashed to fury by the storm which
swept over Chicago early this morn
ing. The gale blew at the rate Of sew
enty-two miles AN hour for five min
utes, and for over an hour its velocity
was above sixty miles. At the top OF
the gale the rudder chains of the
steamer City Of Chicago. coming to
this city from st. Joseph, Mich, with
passengers and freight, parted. In
stantly the big boat fell off into the
trough Of the sea, but Capt. Mcintosh
never stopped the engines. For twenty
minutes the helpless craft plunged for
ward with the big seas rolling around
and some times almost over her. At
that time the tiller at the stern Of the
steamer was adjusted and the City of
Chicago was put on her course again.
She was some three hours late on her
arriving here.
Another belated boat was the steam
er City of Holland. which came into
port four hours behind time. The
Goodrich boats from the east shore
came in on time, having gotten almost
across the lake before the storm struck
them.
Off the lake front the yacht fleet was
badly shaken up. The Bee and .Dirne
were sunk in, one of the slips. The
Druid broke away from her rnoorings
and collided with the Airline breaking
the latter's bowsprit. All the boats
were tossed around Nciously, and 1t
was only due to good luck that the
loss was not far larger than it was.-,

drowned in Lake st. Croix Sunday
evening. but just how the drowning
occurred will never be known mas
much as no person Witnessed it. 1t Is
believed that Moulton was walking
along the lake shore and fell in. Resi-
dents Of the village heard faint cries
for help coming from the vicinity Of
the lake Sunday evening, and. although
they were unable to see anything when
they arrived at the lake, the supposi-
tlon arose that some one had been
drowned. Yesterday Mr.. Moulton was
missed from his accustomed haunts.
and his disappearance gave rise to the
impression that he had been drowned.
The lake was dragged and his body
was recovered this morning. He was
sixty-one years of age and was born in
New Hampshire. He located at Lake

ever since. He has q wife, and two

or the one receiving the highest number Of
