The Worst in Years Visits
Lake Erie and Vicinity
Strewlng the Coast With Wreck
age Of Many a Craft.
Eight Vessels Destroyed and Two Lives
lost---High Seas Still Running.

Cleveland. Ohio, Oct 2O-As a re-
suit of the widest storm that has swept
Lake Erie in years wrecks have strewn
the shore the entire distance from
Buffalo to Detroit The storm came
with abrupt suddenness- at an early
hour Friday morning, and continued
without interruption throughout the
day. At midnight, tonight, the wind
velocity, which reached 81 miles an
hour at its highest point, today, had
decreased little in force and fears were
felt that the reports of numerous
wrecks received during the day did not
entirely cover the extent of the damage
wrought. The storm swept the lake
from one end to the other and every
vessel that was exposed suffered to a
more or less extent. The known losses
as enumerated, tonight, include the fol-
lowing:
Freighter, Sarah E. Sheldon, beached
and wrecked, near Lorain.
Steamer Wisconsin, on rocks off
Lorain.
Schooner King Fisher, beaten to
pieces off Cleveland
Steamer F. A. Prince, damaged near
Cleveland.
Tug Walter Metcalf, sunk off break
water light, Cleveland.
Several barges sunk off Buffalo
harbor.
Steamer Prinkel, reached Buffalo
harbor, badly damaged.
Barge Yukon, sunk off Ashtabula
han Dor, crew rescued.
Two of the crew of the Sheldon were
lost off LOrain. The wreck of this ves-
sci was the most serious Of any re-
ported thus far and the story of its ex-
perlence was thrilling in every way.
The Sheldon left Cleveland with a
cargo of coal. Thursday night, and was
bound UP lake. Her troubles began in
getting out of the harbor and from then
on until she was beached at Lorain
she was almost continually at the
mercy of the tempest. After running
ashore she was buffeted and pounded
for over seven hours by the wind and
waves. Two tugs from Cleveland. one
OF which bore the life saving crew of
this port, succeeded in rescuing all but
two of the crew. These two attempted
TO escape in a small life boat and they
were quickly swept out to sea and lost.
The drowned men were John Fox,
wheelman, and Charles Evans, second
mate. The vessel is complete wreck.
The big steamer Wisconsin was also
victim of the storm off Lorain. She
LETT Lorain for Toledo at go A. NJ, and
was struck by the gale which blew her
head-on uTon the rocks outside the
brcakwater. She can probably be re-
leased without great damage when the
sea dies down.

the Portland telephone Office, in 1901, Kill
ing two men and seriously woundine
three more. for which he was sentenced
for life en- the charge Of murder, has been
pronounced insane and placed in the In
sane ward. There has been no special
change in the fellows condition since he
was pronounced sane by the court, ana
the change is made more as a precautlon
against his obvious and dangerous blood
thirsty tendencies than anything else
A short time since, Brainard was
searched and two murderous weapons,
which he had himself made in prison
were found on him. One was daSgar.
with leather handle and guard, placed IN
a leather sheath and fastened to the IN
side of his undershirt. The blade was very
finely fashioned and finished and sharp
as a razor on both sides and with a
needIe-like point The other weapon was
an ordinary clasp-knife, with leather
handle and steel spring, which was sus-
pended in a belt around his waist next
his skin. This was not so finely finished
as the dagger but was sharpened to a
keen edge How, when or where Braln-
ard made them, nobody knows. But the
discovery of them was somewhat start
ling TO the prison officials, and 1t was
tho,pht hest to have him where he will

were unable to secure admttance re-
manned about the entrances until the
conclusion of the ceremony, when in

Schs. Thomas Brundage
and G. H.SpragueC Collide
Off Sankety Light and Former
Is Considerably Damaged.
Captain Of Brundage Says the Sprague Was
Under Sail Without a Lookout.

Boston, Oct 20.-The fishing
schooner Thomas Brundage, Capt
Goodwin. which left here, Wednesday,
for a fishing trip off Sankety Head,
returned here, today, with her bow
spirit and headgear carried away as
the result of a collision, yesterday, off
Highland Light between the Brundage
and the schooner Charles II. Sprague,
which sailed, Wednesday, from this
port for Beaufort, S. C. The damage
to the Sprague consists of broken
rails and lanyards which loosened the
rigging and made it necessary for her
to start back for this port.
The Brundage had been anchored
all night, Wednesday, and was Just
about to get under way when the
Sprague was sighted five miles dis
tant, apparently heading in the direc-
ton of the Brundage. The men on the
latter schooner claim that there was
no lookout on the Sprague, that it
required considerable shouting on
their part to get a response from the
crew of the other vessel
Just as the Sprague seemed about
to ram the Brundage q seaman on
the former ship ran forward and per-
ceiving the imminencc of disastrous
collision, threw the Sprague's wheel
hard over SO that in the impact the
stern and not the bow of the schooner
struck the Brundage. In the collision
the bowsprit Of the Brundage was
broken off at the knight heads and
other damage was caused.
After the accident both vessels
headed for Boston. The crew of the
fishing vessel claims that the Charles
H. Sprague was entirely at fault.

U. OF M. FOOTBALL TEAM
Plays First Game in Maine COLLEGE
Championship With Colby, Today.

Orono. Me, Oct. 20.-lSpeciaD.-M
| will play her first game in the series fol
the college championship. Saturday, when
she will meet Colby on Alumni field. This
will be one of Names hardest games
and every player realizes that he must
do his best to make a credtable showing
The practice during the past week has
been far from satisfactory. the reason
for this IS that many of the good men
have received injuries that have kept
them out of the game. This makes 1t ne
cessary to play Il substitute team.
Maine is certainly in Il tight place, the
men who received injuries the first of the
season are slowly recovering, but will
not be able to play, Saturday. During the
last week several of the VARSITY men
have been laid up ard will play only u
part of the game as a consequence. These
the guards. and Talbot at end. The abb
sence of these men even for a part of the
game Will weaken the team in no small
way.
Tom" Reed, the old Varsity tackle,
will act as captain i'll the place of Ben
nett; Henry Bearce's place at half will
be filed by CUNT. This man deserves a
word of praise for his excellent work in
the past few weeks. He has developed
into one of the fastest backs the college
ever had and is a sure man in every way.
The work, Friday afternoon, was light
and consisted of signal work and punting.
The last real hard work was done, Thurs
day, when the first and second teams
lined up against one another for 1O-minute
halves, the second team being nearly as
strong as the first, as the few Varsity
players were distributed on both teams.
This accounted fer the small score that
the first team was able to make, only five
points.
The game. however, served as a trying
out for Saturday. and some good results
" ere accomplished.
1t is difficult to predict the lineup at
the present time but the following men
will at least play part of The game: Ends.
Talbot, Tore. Burleigh; tackles. Reed,
and Smith; guards, Bearce, Stone or Ray,
center. Moore or Stone; quarterback, FL
lott or Miner; halfbacks, Quint and Hig-
gins; fullback. Weymouth or Farwell.
These men have all played in some of
the games, this year. and will be the
first choice.
Farwell at full Is a new man, having
registered but a few days ago. He is do
ing excellent work and will make good,
Saturday, if given a chance. The work of
Elliott at quarter is one of the most no
ticeahle improvements on the team. He
is a very rapid man, and runs the team
with a snap and dash that is bound 20
win Ray and Higgins are both good
men and know the game thoroughly:
Tore at end though atrifie light, Will
make a good man. The other players are
old Varsity men and have had their try
ing out. The halves, Saturday, will proba-
bly, be 20 minutes each and the officials
will be Halliday of Dartmouth, and
O'Halloran of Holy Cross

Shows Business Generally
Brisk and Improving.
Evidences Of Conservatism in
Textile Fabric Market.

Spring DeIlVey---Fai|ures.

New York, Oct, 20-R G. Dun & Cos.
Weekly Review OF Trade, tomorrow,
will say:
Activity broadens in commercial
channels and confidence expands be-
cause of the many evidences of conser-
vatism. Business is brisk and improv-
ing, yet there is no disposition to start
boom either in commodities or secur-
tiles. Manufacturers receive liberal
orders for remote deliveries, many deal
ers having covered spring requirements,
and shipping departments are forward
ing as freely as traffic facilities will
permit.
Conditions in the iron and steel in
dustry are steadily improving.
Evidences of conservatism are more
numerous in the primary markets for
textile fabrics, although there is no
weakness in quotations but rather more
indications of inherent strength. Buy
erS have now placed about the usual
amount of business for future delivery
and are becoming a little cautious in
consequence of the higher money
market and erratic quotations for raw
cotton, together with a feeling of I'M
certainty arising from the restoration
of wages at Fall River mills. On the
other hand, so much forward business
is under contract that difficulty is al
ready experienced in making deliveries
according to schedule. AS to worsteds,
most manufacturers are so well sup
piled with orders that they cannot con-
slider duplicate business and some are
compelled to seek outside assistance in
order to meet requirements.
Tanners have secured contracts for
delivery of enough packed hides during
the winter months to reduce activity
somewhat, but there is no weakness.
owing to the limited offerings. Light
hides are especially scarce and Colora-
dos are the only easy feature. Strength
IS noteworthy in foreign dry hides.
