Milwaukee, Wis., October 30. The IassenRer propeller Vernon, was wrecked in the terrible gale that swept Lake Michigan yesterday, and her entire crew of twenty-two persons, and the passengers, camber unknown, are supposed to have fceen lost. It Involves a greater loss cf life than any of the previous disasters on the lake this season, not excepting the propeller Champlain, which burned early in the spring off the Charlevoix, drowning twenty-four persons. A most singula? coincidence is that the Vernon was the yes sei which took the place of the Champlain in the Northern Michigan Line, and had only been on the line since August 1. She was one of the finest famished passenger toat3 on the lakes, and had a valuation Df $78,000. Captain Moran, of the Steamship Superior, which arrived here at 6:30 o'clock last night, brought ths first news of the wreck. "To pass one man on a raft appe aline for help, another dying from exposure, and a small boat in which we could see one woman and three men, one of the latter hailing with a coat stuck upon his oar, all being tossed about In a terrible sea without our being able to render them any assistance was heartrending in the ex reu?," said Captain Moran. 4,Ve were also fighting for our lives, our steamer having become disabled in the sea. With the exception of the cooks oar entire crew of sixteen men, even to the engineer, were down below, some of them steering the vessel with a temporary tackle which we had rigged up, while the others were trying to repair the break. Our tiller had become disconnected from the rudder post, leaving us at the mercy of the sea, until we managed to rig up a temporary tackle. With this we managed to keep oar vessel out of the trough of the seas and keep her before the gale. It was three hours before we had made repairs so that we could handle ourselves, and then we were out of aiht of the shipwrecked mea." "The cooks on deck were the first to call our attention to the wreckage. It was 10 o'clock in the morning, when o3 Two .Rivers, tome miles out in Lake Michigan that we passed through some lumber, live miles luitr.er on we passed a lot of barrels, and then er countered wreckage ior some distance. Among it was furniture and bed clothing, besides life preservers here and there. One cook said he counted thirteen life preservers and I know that it must have been a passenger boat to carry so many. We passed so near some of the life preservers that they might have been picked np had the cooks used a pike pole. I was only on deck part of the time, and no others of the crew came ni, as they had all they could do whera they were." When about six miles East Northeast, of Manitowoc, the cook, who .bad been keeping a lookout, called ma on deck with the information that a raft could be seen with a man on it. As I went on deck I could plainly see the man waving his hand to ns. lie was standing upright on the raft, which was about hal a mile, between us and the shore, and the sea was washing over it. It appeared abcut twelve feet square, and as if it might be the top of a cabin. Poor fellow, he must have thought it cruel of us t j pass by and leave hlro there to sufier. Ten minutes later we sighted another raft also, about a half mile inside of us. It was mach smaller, apparently not more than four by eight feet, and looked like a piece of bulwarks. On it was lying a man who. although still alive, probably did rot discern us, as he was too far gone. We could see him dip his head as his frail little float was tossed about in the sea, as tboogh he was abont dead. We saw a yawl with three men and one woman in it a little farther south. There may, however, have been more of them lying down in the boat, the three we saw being on the seats. One of the men was standing up, holding his oar, with his coat swinging, to attract attention. Their hearts must have been gladdetcd in their expectation of help from us. How inhuman they man have thought us when we passed them by, and within a mile, too, without even turning our vf stel toward them. Bat with our teering gear disabled as it was we could not stop our vessel, and there was nothine for as to do bat hope that same one of ths yesselscomicgup the lake astera of us might discover them and pick them up. "Iber ia a possibility that a large schooner coming qp the lake after us may have picked up the persons in the boat. She waa three or four miles astern of u -and I could eee thronen the glass that she ms heading towards them. Bat she may have been bound for Manitowoc and co old have passed without seeing them. There was little possibility that she could have taken the men oil the rafts, an I it is even doubtful if abe could pick up the yawl In inch a sea. It she could get close .enou-a to throw them a line as she Bcudcud by and they held on ti it. there jnieht be a chance for them to be saved. It was as heavy a ?a a I have experienced in all my life on the lakes. "Jost to jrfve yon an idea of it, the ßanloaky, which we bad in tow, sometimes buried Jierelf so that only ons-hslf of her jznaatsconld be seen. Oac she stayed ander ro lone that I tnoagbt she was gone. We will make repairs here and go on to Chicago." Ifer Identity Settled. HiLwr AfKFc, Wis,, October. 'JO. The Hading of tbe pilot hoase of the propeller Vernon by a tug near Manitowoc, Wis., settles all doubt regarding the identity of the lost vessel. Scarcely anv trace of the cargo have been seen to-day and nothing has been heard of those on board. It Ij feared that not a single soul of the thirty or more aboard is left to tell tbe story of the disaster. A fcrlom hope is entertained that a gaming veesel may have picked np aome of the unfortunates, bat with the terrible sea that was running it would have been almost a miracle to accomplish a rescue. "The captain of the life-saving crew at Two Jlivtrs, Wis., describes the storm as the worst ever seen by him on tbe lake, the wave s ri5inr to tbe height of thirty or forty feet. The first information received by him was from this morning's papers, Although the wreck is supposed to have taken place within seven miles of Two lUvera. It Is his impression that no one has i arrived the wreck. It was bitterly cold on the lake, he said, "and a person ceuld uq hay stood tht exposure over

sight. Tbe epray dashing over the men cl'Dgingto the wreokage mast have frozen as it fell and completely encased the unfortunates, if indeed, they held on long enough to permit each a thing. My impression is they are all at the bottom of the lake." Neither at Manitowoc nor Two Rivers were any traces of tbe lost vessel to be heard of yesterday either by vessels arriving tbere or by mans of tags going a few miles out. Caot. Hawkins, of the schooner William Home, arriving in Milwaukee this morning, reports passing three dead bodies Saturday afternoon about six miles southwest of Manitowoc. One body was that of a woman with long black hair. Oae bad a life preserver on. Tbe other two bodies were thoie of men. None of the other veseels arriving here yesterday saw any wreckage of bodies, most of "them having been too far out in the lake. From despatches sent out yesterday the following three names of passengers have been secured, tbonch it can not be positively ascertained that the persons named were aboard. Mackinaw gives the names of the following persons supposed to have been on bosrd: Miss Katie Gallagher, Mackinaw Island: Miss Saliie Dankln, Chicago, a cousin of Miss Gallagher. Roth were on their way to Chicago. From Sheboygan the name of C. Baumgeas, Chicago, is reported as having taken passage on the ill-fated steamer. So lar these are the only three names obtained of passengers, as there appears to have been no list kept.

The Kfwi at Manitowoc. Mamto woe, October GO. The first particulars of the wrecked Propeller Vernon were received here this morning. The report says she foundered oft Two Rivers. The life saving station reported it foundered of! Sheboygan, but late. reports confirm the statement that she foundered about six miles northwest of Two Rivers point. Ca pt Heron, of the 8ohooner, John Wesley, which arrived here this evening, reports some wreckage oflf Two Rivers about . o'clock this moraine, and also passed a lot of wreckage until six miles south of this place. The master of the Schooner Phn-aix, says he passed white painted boards this afternoon six miles south of here, but coald not distinguish what vessel they came from; however, all doubts were set at rest this afternoon when a tup picked up a pilot house with the name ' Vernon" on it, and rive life preservers, off Two Rivers. Oving to this fact, probably not a soul of the twenty-live or thirty people on board was saved. Tbe cause of tbe terrible disaster will probably remain a mystery forever. It is quite generally believed here that not a single soul hs? survived, as it would have been impossible for any person to live in such a sea, and exposed to the intense cold that prevailed on the niht of the wreck. Many relatives of those on board came here on the propeller Lawrence this evening to obtain all particulars possible concerning the lost. All the places whara information would likely be obtained were visited. The news was of the roost discouraging nature. They abandoned all hope of ever seeing their friends and relatives who were lost, ft is reported to-night that Rnler Inspector Reed and Fitzgerald, of Milwaukee, were aboard tbe ill fated propeller, and are undoubtedly among tbe lost. A patrol of the life-saving crew at Two Rivers was kept on duty all night, but up to lastreport.no bodies bad been found. The captain of the steamer Lawrence, estimates tbe number of people on the illfated vessel at about nfty persons. The steam barge Burroughs of Milwaukee, is overdue, and many anxious inquiries were received as to her whereabouts. The) Nv in I'hlcax". Chicago, 111., October 30. The news of tbe less el the propeller Vernon was received among the Chicago vessel men with great surprise, as she was recognized as one of the stanncheet boats for her size that was on the lakes, and all agree that she could weather the roughest storm if handled pronerlv. Mr. Bark's aeent for the North Michigan line, which leased the boat from A. Booth it Son, the first of August, said to-day that the list of officers as printed in the despatches was substantially correct, and he lias no means of knowing the number and names cf the crew, as they shipped at various points on the lake, and the captain and clerk of the boat were the only ones that kept any record of them. As to the passengers on board, he was totally ignorant of them. Tbe Vernon was on her return trip, and whatever passenjteis she had would be registered only at the ports where they went aboard, and in the ships books. Tbe last place he heard of the boat was at North Port on Friday, where the took on ninety thousand barrel staves coniigned to Milwaukee parties. This seems to confirm the report o CBpt. William;, of the schooner Joseph Fait e, wbo says he saw a quantity of barrel staves afloat near Two Rivers Point Saturday morning. The Paige arrived at Milwaukee Saturday evening. J. M. Burke had endeavored to gain some information from Manitowoc, but up to last evening had not heard anything definite. His company had the Vernon last August and had put her on the route formerly run by the ill-fated Champlain. Captain Thorpe was an experienced sailor, and regarded the vessel as staunch and seaworthy. Mr. Burke thought it unlikely that there were many passengers on board, owing to the lateness of the season. Only one passenger had shipped on ber from Chicago on tbe last trip, bound for Petoskey. Capt. John Prindlville laid that he could not explain fie lack of definite information regarding the loss, as the Vernon carried four good boats and come of the crew onht to nave been able to find a landing. The Vernon he thought one of the finest seagoing vessels on the lakes, and if headed to tbe gale could stand any weather. His broth - in-law, Capt. John Sullivan, was mate aboard her and knew the locality where the wreck is supposed to have occurred, as well as any seaman on the lakes. Capt. Prindiville felt confident that some of the crew would turn up soon. Mr. Vernon Booth, for whom the vessel was named, said she cost $'' 000 and that her insurance amounted to $.".7,000 as follows: Bt. Paul Fire & Marine, $JO,000; Louisville Vnderwriters, $7,000; London A:sorane Co., $10,0)0. She was launched a year ago tbe latter part of August, Mr. J. P. timitb being her builder. In all her trips wherever heavy weather had been encountered, she had behaved splendidly and as a boat, was tbe admiration ot all the captains and sailors that had been aboard ber. Toe Northern Michigan line paid $1,C"0 per month for her use. Secretary Whitney' ue. Naw York, October Secretary of tbe Navy Whitney spent the day quietly at his home in this city. Doctor Loo mis called to see him in the morning and pronounced him better, but repeated hia Orders to keep absolutely quiet for several days. Callers were told tnat he would be well in about a week. He was not allowed to see visitors, bat Mrs. Whitney entertained a few friends during the afternoon. The Secretary felt so much better this afternoon that he took a long drive in Central l'aik.

Tfcs Strikt is Diviasi Cointy Cnuh&Uy Appraiching in Ini. Fatal Accident White Hunting A Two Year's Sentence Fonad Dead Caught ia a Fro?, Etc. Coal Strike Partially Imltd, Warhiboton, Ind., October IV). Special. Tbe great coal miners' strike which began September 13 has partially ended. Tc-morrow 300 men will go to work in the mines of Cable A Kauffman who have acceded to the demands of the strikers. The advance is equal to about C cents per ton all 'rcund, and the miners now receive M cents per ton tor mining coal screened over a three-quarter inch screen, while riddled coal is 47 cents per ton, and run cf the mine 42 cents. Day laborers are to rrceive 11.50 per day, and miners taken out are to receive $2 per day. Many miners in the city were in almost destitute circumstances, and now that differences have been adjusted, much joy and telling happiness prevails. The company, too, is satisfied with the settlement. Superposed aa Washington is upon a valuable bed of coal, it seems strange that we should suffer from coal famine, yet such was actually the case. Many families had very little fuel and in some of the public buildings, as the schools and courthouse, there would have been, but for the happy termination of the strike, a complete shotting down. The diiTerence between the miners and the Wilson company is not yet adjusted. The company refuses t acce ie to tue demands of the miners. About 200 men of that mine are still ou. of employment. What caused the strike to hold oiT so long, was their determination that KanrTman and Cable, the operators, should join the Miner's Federation, which the company refused to do. They finally adjusted the difference without the company joining the Federation. A Two Years Sentence, Et. Yr.r.v, October 2'X The jury in the case of Robert Miller vs. The State, for the murder of Ohas. Emerick, filed into court at 4 p. m. to-day, after being out sines 11:20 a. m.. yesterday, returning a terdict of two years in the penitentiary. A motion was at once nie de for a new trial, which as yet has not been granted by the Judge. Hon. Lyman Walker, in behalf of his client, asked that Miller's bond continue as before while awaiting the grant of a new trial or his incarceration in the penitentiary immediately after the verdiot wrs read. Miller was remanded to the custody of the Sheriff. This morning Judge Connor ordered an issuance of a special venire for fifty jurors, returnable at 10 o'clock Monday morning, at which time the trial of Rill Green for the murder of Enos Brumbaugh is set. Fatal Accident While Hunting;. Skvmour, October .'to. Special. One of the saddest accidents that has taken place in this county for years occurred on Friday. Meedy Fisher and Leo Kendall, two respected" young men of Redding Township, went out hunting. Kendall asked Fisher for the shot gun, which he gave him. While carelessly handling it, the gun was discharged, the entire contents entering Fisher's right leg above the knee. The blood tlowed in a terrible stream. Dr. M. F. Gerrish was summoned and on arriving felt as if the wound would prove fatal. He did everything possible, but to no purpose and Fisler died yesterday in terrible agony. Tbe funeral took place today and was very largely attended. Fisler was twenty-three years of age and single. Not Whipped lj Wltiterapa. Cory rox. October 2. John E. Funk, who lives near Milltown. came to Corvdon yesterday and demanded a retraction of Meesrs. Thomas & Murr, the proprietors of a local newspaper, for publishing a report to the effect that he had been flogged by the "White Caps." Mr. Funk is a brother of County Treasurer 'A. T. Funk and M. W. Funk, a leading attorney. He is one of the wealthiest men of the county and Dears a good name, lnerewas absolutely no foundation for the report and it seems that it was published through malice. The item found Its way into the papers through New Albany correspondents. Mr. Funk will prosecute the Corydon paper for libel unless a retraction is made. Funeral Personal. Franklin, October 30. Special.! The funeral of John A. Winchester, an old aad iniluential citizen, who was smothered by the caving in of a well he was digging last rrtaay, took place to-day. Kichard il. Johnson, chief clerk of the Sixth Auditor's department, Washington, wno has been home on yearly leave ot ab sence, will return to that city to-morrow, accompanied by his family. Dick is one of the Eb. Henderson type of Democrats wno believe in turning every Republican rascal out of office. Caught In a Frog. Pkincetos, October -1. William Coop er, thirty, a laborer, was run over and killed at this place at midnight last night by a passenger train on the Louisville. Evansville and St. Louis R&ilroai. Cooper was going down the trick to a friend's house. His foot got fastened in the frog and he lay until struck by the east-bound train. His left leg was cut off, left arm torn from bis shoulder, and his body horribly mangled. He was a single man and generally sober and industrious. Found Dead.

On Thursday night Miss Faederica Allison fainted in a parlor car on her way home from Xenia, and she was oncontcions when her father met her at the train. Wants a FairTtlal. Niw York, October ::0. Prof. Felix Adler addressed the Society of Ethical Culture at Cbickering Hall this morning on the case of the condemned Chicago Anarchists. He said that he had been asked to address a mass-meeting, arranged in behalf of the condemned, but felt cons' rained to refuae.ll e looked upon those men as criminals. "Every fibre of my moral nature is outraged by the methods by which they sought to obtain their ends," said the Professor. 'The Anarchists are the worst enemies of society, and should be suppressed. Vet I rue to enter a plea in their behalf because I am in favor of absolute purity in judicial processes, and impartiality in the face of public excitement. I speak for them as I would for my worst enemy if injustice was about to be done to him. If these men are hung they will be looked upon as heroes, which they are not. Society has the rieht to and should quarantine these men jnst the same as the bearers of cholera germs." Mr. Adler reviewed the trial, and as he repeated part of Fielden's speech, there was some applauce in the rallery of the hall. This was at once met with an outburst of hisses, and the speaker ceased in his discourse to say that any demonstration by tbe audience was not permitted by the rules of the society. He afterwards said that in his opinion, the prisoners should have had Eeparate trials and that Lingg. Schwab and Fielden should be imprisoned for life, and the others sentenced to short terms. LOOKING SERIOUS,

Ths Presens of Ammocii ii ths Oriihd Fool cf Ki3. Its Detection Publicly daisied ky the Ohio State Food Commissioners. The Ohio State Dairy and Food Commissioner, General 8. H. Harst, has made puclic (Circular No. -i) the resalta ot the Commissioner's investigation of baking powder. This commission was formed by the Legislature, with instructions to make an examination of the food supply of the State, and to give a report ot such examination to the public. The examination of tbe bakicg powders was mde by Prof. H. A. Weber, State CbrmUt, and, relating as it does to an article of da ly ne in the food of almost everv one, is of particular interest," The startling fact is brought out by the report that the "Rjjal" baking powder contains carbonate of ammonia a powerful but unclean gas-generating snbstance originally derived from animal excrement. It is but fair to say that the Commissioners tound Dr. Price's Cream Ca kicg Powder free from this poisonous drag and that it is recommended by Government chemists, tbe beads of the great Universities and Public Food analysts as the purest, stiongest and most healthful, for general family nse. As health is paramount to all other considerations we would advise all housekeepers, for the detection ot concealed ammonia and other deleterious drugs, as well as to determine the purity of any Baking Powder, to make this simple te3t: Mix in a tin cup a heaping teaspoonfnl of tbe powder with two leaspoonsfal cf cold water, place it over the fire, stirring constantly and allow it to boil, then smell. If adulterated, that unspeakable odor proving tbe source of arunnnia will be plainly detected. The presence of ammon a in most cases indicates that alum is used, as nearly all tue alum ot commerce contains ammonia. Pure Raking Powder will r.ot give the via test ainmoniscil odor.
