Still Out-Vessel Blown Ashore
Near Lorain, o., and Two Sallois
Are Drowned.
Chicago, Oct. 21.-Death and de-
struction have resulted from one OF
the fiercest gales that ever swept the
lower lakes, which ragged all of Thurs
day and had not subsidized Friday after
noon.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars
worth OF property has been lost. Grip
pied vessels have sought refuge in
Chicago harbor, and at every other
lake port. Many wrecks were reported.
The east shore OF Lake Michigan has
suffered severely, dock property worth
thousands of dollars being swept away.
Much anxiety is felt in Chicago ship
ping circles for vessels that are on the
lake. The hurricane is one OF the
worst in recent years, and it is be-
lieved shipping interests will be for
tunate if many wrecks are not re-
ported.
Disabled Ships Arrive.
Three vessels hat made port at Chi
cago Friday came in badly disabled.
The AL Williams, of S%heDoygan, was
crippled to such an extent that Capt.
Charles Garland and his crew at the.
life saving station prepared to go to
the aid of the boat, but a tug reached
the vessel and towed it into the har-
Dor. Its canvas was torn into bits, it's
masts broken, and it showed the bat
tering of the storm in other ways.
The schooner Kate Lawrence, from
Fort River, and the schooner Lotus,
from Menominee, both lumber vessels,
got in with difficulty, badly damaged.
The storm damaged portions of the
sea wall along the north shore, and
washed out huge chunks of the bluffs
north of Evanston.
Dock Property Damaged.
St. Joseph, Mich, Oct. 21.-The ferc-
est northwest gale followed by the
highest seas ever known on the east
shore of Lake Michigan has swept this
district. AS a result thousands of dol
lars worth of dock property has been
swept away in st. Joseph, South
Haven, Holland, Grand haven and
Muskegon. The George F. Happ door
and boat livery, foot of Water street,
was entirely swept away, the esti-
mated loss being $4,000. The Silver
Beach resort, located on the south
shore, is entirely under water. The
loss of refreshment stands, billiard and
pool rooms and the destruction of the
large veranda of the main casino rep
resents thousands of dollars loss.
The swing of the big Pere Marquette
railroad bridge, spanning the st. Jo-
seph river at this point, is in great
danger OF being swept away. Inward
seas coming in contact with the down.
ward current of the river are fast re-
moving the sand foundation of the
north abutment of the bridge.
Loss at Menominee.
Menominee, Mich, Oct. 21.-It is es-
timated that $780, 900 damage was
caused to docks, lumber, logs and ship
ping by the fierce in-shore wind. Huge
volumes of spray dashed 40 feet high
and wrecked everything along shore
30 feet from the water line.
