GALE SPENDS ITS FORCE. Heavy Winds on the Great Lakes Are Abating:. Chicago, Nov. 12. Professor Cox, forecast official of the weather bureau, says the gale which broke on the lake Wednesday night and proved to be the heaviest storm of the year, is abating. On Lake Superior four consorts were torn from their steamers and three of them are still adrift or have gone ahore. The schooner Stafford was wrecked at Good Harbor, Mich., and may be a total loss. The sohoouer Maumee Valley was driven ashore near Port Colborne. Several large steamerj were driven baek to Chicago after be ing exposed to the gale for a few ! hours, and large boats were generally seeking shelter on Lakes burpenor, Michigan and Huron. The wind, which at many places at tained a velocity of over 40 miles an hour, was accompanied by fine snow, and, with the bitter cold, made it bard work for the mariners. dale Wrought Havoc on Lake Erie. Cleveland, O., Nov. 12. The terrific storm on Lake Erie continued today with unabated fury. The captain of the passenger steamer City of. Erie, which arrived early today from Buffa lo, reports that he sighted the msst of sunken vessel sticking out of the motor nhnnt 25 miles off this port. The tugs sent out to locate the snppoHed wreck returned to this harbor tonight. They reported finding the steamer Ka ligula riding at anchor 80 miles out. They could find no trace of a wreck. three Hen Killed Outright Fatally Injured. Roseburg, Or., Nov. 12. The worst wreck ever kown on this division oc curred about daylight this morning, two miles south of Roseburg. Two freights, the regular No. 225, south bound, and a long extra coming north, smashed together on a curve in a heavy fog. Engineer Sam Hendricks, of No. 225, and Fireman Wilhelm, of the extra, were caught beneath the wreck and almost instantly killed. Fireman Ed Riddle, Engineer Walter Drennan and Head Biakeman Charles Campbell, were all badly injured, the latter two doubtless fatally. Riddle lost a foot and suffered a broken left arm. Campbell's head was baily hurt, his right leg crushed, his left arm broken, and it is feared his back was broken. Drennan received a cut through the skull over the left eye, about three inches in length, whioh exposed the brain. His leg was broken and be received many bad outs and bruises. One of the trainmen ran to town with the news and an engine and caboose were Bent out after the thrne injured I men, who wre cared for by three phy sicians on arriving in the city. Some time was required to get Hendrioks and Wilhelm from the wreck. The latter was pinned down in the cab, the coals from the firebox burning off both his legs to the knees. The bodies were brought to the undertakers itnmedately. The necks of both of the men were broken. The scene of the wreck defies ade quate description. The boiler of the extra's engine had literally forced its way through the other engine its full length, but neither engine bad left the track. Tney were both partly covered by wreoked freight cars, the engine of No. 225 was entirely covered, and a badly broken-up box car surmounted the heap, apparently balancing on tne smokestack. This part of the wreck caught fire once, but the flames wera quickly extinguished. It is stated that the wreck was due to a tnisinteipretation of orders on the part of Engineer Drennan of the extra. Superintendent L. R. Fields happen ed to be in the city, and is looking after the dead and wounded men. Coroner Twitohell has summoned a jury and will hold an inquest tomor row on the remains of Wilhel n and Hendrioks.

Alvord, Jr., the note teller of the FlrBt National bank, who is accused of em bezzling $600,000 of the bank's funds, was arraigned before United Battel Commissioner Shields in the criminal branch of the United States oirouit court here today. Whiting E. Snow, assistant cashiei of the First National bank, said he had known Alvord 20 years, the past 10 ol which he had been the note teller ol the First National bank. He explained in detail the dutie3 of the note teller and the bank's clearing house transac tions. He explained the balance sheets, which showed a shortage of $690,000 in Alvord's department. The figures showed that the shortage var ied, and that from "October 10 to Octo ber 13 it was $700,000. Alvord's at torney led Snow to admit that since the hitter first boeame an officer of the bank, two years ago, he had never known officers of the bank to examine the assets of the institution. (Cashier William Reed, of the First National be nk, was the next witness. He said that the last time the bank had an examination was October 15. lie had no personal knowledge of any re port of the examination. Mcrton V. Moore, settling oiern ior the bank, identified a column of figure on a sheet that was prepared for and sent to the clearing house as having been made by himself. He explained the details of making up the sneets for the clearing house. Then, one by one, he laentineu me sueuts niuu up for the banking days in October. Mr. Moore tesitfied that two figures in the shtets made up tor October 15 had been changed. The figures as they stood were not his. He did not know who had made the changes. It was brought out that the sheet had been in tha pos session of Alvord as it hadbeen marl up by Moore. His physician has absolute rem of 8,000 Yarmouth, N. S., Nov. H. The shore of this country for 10 miles east and west is utrewn with the wreckage of the hull and cargo of the steamer Citv of Monticello. whioh foundered Kutnrrlav mornine. and 25 bodies of viotims of the disaster have been recov ered from the sea, which is still raging with terrific fury. Many people have assembled at Rockville, near where the first body came ashore, and num erous relatvea of members of the crew, who noarlv all belonged to points on this coast, have arrived to Identify the dead. The bodies were arranged in a room la the public hall, and the ooronor who held the inquest gave an opinion of accidental drowning. All the bodies are terribly battered. The first body was found at day light, when the aino liteboat, whioh was snnnosed bv the survivors of the first boat to have been swamped, was discovered on the shore. A few yatds distant were the bodies of Mr. El dridge, a passenger; Second Engineer Poole; Mr. Fripp, a traveler, of St. John. N. B.. and the body of a seaman. All four had life belts around thorn. At abort Intel vals along the beach 11 ninra hndies wore found, making 15 dis covered no to noon today. They had all avidantlT come ashore in the life boat, and were killed on striking hnneli. not one escaping. The watches in the pockets of two of the men stopped at 12:45 and 12:25 o'clock, respectively. The body of Captain Harding, of the Monticello, was found at Plcnio Point, encircled with a life belt and fully dressed. It is a coincidence that the ship Peter Stewart was wrecked off this shore a few years ago in the month of July, and a boat load of nien came in where the Monticello's boat was found. Half of the men were dead before the boat touched the land and many be lieve the same is true of those m the Monticellos boat. The fury of the surf is appalling in this region. The body of O. N. Coleman, a com mercial traveler, who was not pre viously known to have been on board the Monticello, has been washed ashore and identified. He represented a Ham ilton, Ont., jewelry firm, and carried samples worth $80,000. une irunn has been found. Wreckage of all kinds litters the shore boxes, barrels, pieces of ship's boats and parts of the superstructure of the steamer. James Ball, a mer chant of Yarmouth, who was supposed to have been on boaid, is safe, having missed the steamer in St. John. Rup ert Olive was crossing the bay from St. John to Yarmouth to rejoin his own steamer. Some difficulty has been encountered in figuring out the total loss ol life, as a number of passengers joined the Mon ticello at St. John without first regis tering at the booking office. They bought their tickets on board. A re vised list ol the members of the crew, prepared at the head office of the Yar mouth Steamship Company here, shows that the officers and crew numbered 28. Tim tntai nnmber of people on board is now placed at 86. The four Guests pf at Missouri Hostelry Burned to Death. Poplar Bluff, Mo., Nov. 14.- Hemmed in by flames in the upper stories of the Gifford House, an old frame structure that burned like tin der, a number of pirsons were burnedjor suffocated to duRth; others leaped from wiudows and suffered the loss o' Urobs and other injuries from which some died. Only one or two of the 45 sleep ing guests got out without injury and none saved anything but the night clothes that wore worn at 12:30, when the alarm was given. Four are known to be dead, one is missing, three are fatally iujuered, and more than 20 are burued or otherwise hurt. In the halls ot the hotel a dozen or more persons were overcome by heat and smoke and this lends to the belief that the Iobs of life will be much great er than is now known. There were a number of nmegisteTed guests at the place. Only one person, the watchman, was awake when the fire started and he was unable to warn the guests for the Hames had spread so rapidly that he was driven from the building. Escape for everyone on the second and third stories was cut off and the fire depart ment was unable to give them anv as sistance. Here the deaths occurred and in jumping from the windows the others were hurt. There were many acts of heroism in the rescue of women and a number of guests had very narrow escapos, several having their hair singed. It will be several days before the number of dead is known. One man asserts that he saw 10 or 15 persons in the hallway overcome by smoke. If this ia the case, a dozen or more bodies may be found in the ruins. J The Gifford House was one of the oldest in Southeast Missouri, and it has been considered a death-trap lor a number of years. W. P. Norris was the proprietor. He and his wife es caped, but lost everything. Decorated for Service In China. London, Nov. 12. Admiial Edward W. Seymour-Hobart, K. C.

The three men saved agree that the cause of the disaster was, briefly: The steamer was pounded for honrs by sea and gale, sprang a leak and filled; she became unmanageable, broke apart and foundered. The sea is not remembered to have been so heavy on this coast for many years. xeu Injured on the Missouri raclfle. ' Pueblo, Colo., Nov. 14.
