In the latter part of September it was announced that J. P. Morgan & Co. had bought from the H. B. Hollins syndlcx}te the subscription rights of 46,000 of the €5,- 000 shares of the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton, held in a voting trust at 160. A few days later came the announcement that the Erle had decided to purchase this stock from the Morgan firm. A trip of inspection was made by Presi- dent Underwood and several of the vice presidents, accompanied by Russell Hard- ing of the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Day- | ton. At that time, it was learned to-day, | the Erie men's suspicions were aroused | that some of the companies controlled by the Dayton road would not benefit the Erie. Morgan also looked into these properties after the sale. The results of these investigations, it was sald, con- vinced Morgan and the Erie officials that | the carrying out of the bargain would do great harm to the Erle. Altogether the | Erie men decided’ the ‘“goods delivered were not up to the sample.” is much appreciated. | “JACOB H.

Something, which from a distance re- sembles a scow, is lying in the surf, cov- ered with spray, just below where the England went ashore on' the point yester- day. It s thought to be the scow George Herbert, which Is missing. If so, the five men makiig up her crew are probably lost. The steel steamship Lafayette and the steel barge Manila are on the rocks on the mainland just north of Encampment Island. The entire crews of bothrboats, with the exception of a fireman, whose name is.unknown, were saved, The La- fayette broke in two as soon as she struck the rocks, but the two vessels were so close together that the men on the steamship were able to jump from the stern to the Manila. In making this jump to the Manila one of the firemen on the Lafayétte slipped and fell into the water and disappeared. The escape from the Manila by both crews was an easy matter. The vessel was so close to shore that thé branches of several trees hung down over the deck. The sailors, taking hold of the branches, pulled themselves up and inthis way reached the'land. The Lafayette is practically 2 total wreck. The Manila is in good condition and may be saved. A complete list of those who perished on the wrecked steamship Mataafa, which foundered near:the canal entrance yester- day affernoon, follows: Willlam Most, Cleveland, chief engineer; Claude A. Far- inger, Cleveland, first assistant engineer; James Early, Buffalo, second assistant engineer; Carl Carlson, Chicago, oller; Willlam Gilchrist, Warnton, Ont., oiler; Thomas Woodgate, residence unknown, shipped _at Conneaut, fireman: Thomas ‘McCloud, deckhand; J.

The might on the Mataafa’ was @ fearful -one to the living men, to say nathing -of the ‘terrible torture that must have:fellen.to the lot of those who died. Tucked .in warin beds {fi” hotels to-day, members of the crew tell of what they underwent. Charles Byrne, Henry Saunders and Herbert Emigh made the trip in the af- ternoon from the rear of the boat forward across the slippery deck, over which great waves rolled and tried. to break their holds, Four tried it, but a fireman, name unknown, falled and retraced his steps, now being numbered .among the lost. This fireman was three ‘times washed over the side, but held his grip on the rope ‘railing and climbed back, only to be defeated in the end. The three that made the trip and owe their lives to thelr courage would rush forward after eacn wave and then throw themselves on the deck and hang on as another roller came. As they reached the forward part their comrades dragged them on the deck.: . The poor fellows on the stern end of the boat had little protection. In the ice of the engine-house they could find no shelter, for the waves covered the deck to the helght of-the rail. They finally climbed up under the shelter of the big smokestack, but wet as they were and with the biting cold they-could not long stand the exposure and were last seen slipping down'the ventilators, apparently to find protection, ‘but in all probability going to death by drowning. A light shining ‘through the porthole of the Mataafa was the only evidence of Jife until shortly after .daybreak, when the form of & man was seen at the door of the captain’s cabin and a cheer of en- couragement broke from those on the shore, The life-saving crew was on the scene early and two surfboats were brought to the beach. For & time it seemed as if the violence of the sea were subsiding, but at 8§ o'clock it was heaving with renewed 4ury and the launching of the boat was postported. « A megaphone was secured, and in re- a megaphone aud shouted: forward; can you get us ashore?” Lennon, manned the boat and shoved her into the breakers. The waves were rolling fiercely over the wreck while clouds of blinding spray flew mast high at ‘times, completely obscuring the vessel. Tossed llke a chip, but finally triumph- ant, the lifeboat reached the side of and a rope was thrown to the eager hands on deck. It.was made fast and the work of lowering the haif-frozen men began. In silence the watchers on shore saw the first man twist himself about the frozen rope and glide down to the lifeboat which every moment threat- ened to capsize.
