The sunken propelfer Canisteo lies in seven-teen feet of water. From Chicago her cargo consists of 15,000 bushels of corn, and sundries, and she also probably took on flour at Milwaukee. There can be but very little salvage on the oarffo. Hull and cargo are insured, and tugs are at the scene of the disaster. The Canisteo is owned by the Union Steamboat Company. She is an old craft, and has no great valuation, but, as indicated by her cargo, was stil 1 in the grain ' trade. Several vessels are mentioned as the one : that collided with her. ' 'Special';.' . :¦.<,!¦ fnter Oo san. MACKINAW City, Mich.-, Ocd. 15.— Your correspondent was up to the Canisteo this afternoon, and found her in bad condition. She will probably be a total wreck. She lays on a reef, and both ends are afloat so she works with the sea. Her bulwarks are stove in on both sides* and her dock-load has all washed overboard.

Captain Sawyer and Keeper Feaben were drowned. Valentine was rescued by a small boat from here. ___.¦ THE ILL-FATED ALPENA. Considerable pains have been taken to present a complete list of the passengers, officers, and hands on the Alpena, and the net result is presented below. As stated heretofore, no duplicate list of the passengers was kept, and the register of the boat went down with her. Several names are omitted from the previous lists given, it being discovered that they were not on board the Alpena. John Bowen, an- officer reported lost, called at Tee INTEB Ocean office last evening to show that he was alive and well. Mr. Ryder, of Syracuse, reported to be lost, took passage on the De Pere instead of the Alpena, and is consequently still in the land of the living. Mr. vV. C. Pettibone, supposed to have been on the Alpena, took a train to Muskegon. It is possible that others of the reported lost are alive and well. Mrs, George McConnell, whose name is sometimes given as Maggie Mack, is believed bv the officers of the Goodrich line to be visiting friends in Michigan. Her name was given as among those onboard, and a trunk bearing her name has floated ashore *at Holland, but she quit the service of the vessel about ten days ago, and it is possible left her trunk on the Alpena till she took up other quarters- Her name is therefore not given in the list below. As far as can be learned, there were TWENTY-SIX PASSENGERS ON THE ALPENA, including the children. Owing to the fact that. just at this time, the railroad companies running through Michigan are giving extremely low rates, to induce people to come to the Exposition, the passenger traflic on the Goodrich steamers leaving the east shore has been extremely light, the steamboat line rei using to lower their rates. "While the boats leaving Chicago have been crowded, those corning this way have carried very few travelers. The number given—twenty-six—may therefore be regarded as complete. The passenger list is as follows: Montgomery Crossrnan, of Grand Haven. Mr. Crossman was the second son of one of the oldest settlers of Marengo, Calhoun County, Mich. and formerly resided in Marshall, that State. Al-, though less than 30 years of age he was well known throughout the State by his many mechanical inventions, conspicuous among which •were his improvements in wind-mills. He was foreman of the Stevens Manufacturing Company. He leaves a wife in a delicate contlition and a giri 3 years old. Sidney Thomas, Esq., of Chicago, is a cousin of his. W. S. Benham and wife, Grand Haven. Mr. Bcnham was editor of the Grand Haven Herald, and came from Iowa. He leaves two children— a son (a young man) and a girl of 10. Mrs. B. F. Cartes, the wife of a prominent lawyer of Grand Haven. Heber Squier, Jr., of Grand Haven. He leaves a wife and three young daughters, whom he was going to Chicago to visit. Mrs. Newton Bradley and her daughters, Miss Lou Bradley and Miss Kate Bradley, OF SANTA FE, NEW MEXICO. Fred Spaeth, of Grand Rapids. G. Hotfinger, of Grand Rapids. C. Kusterer, of Grand Rapids. H. Landreth, of Mpskegon, a brother of George Hubbard, of Grand Haven. Mrs. S. B. Cole, of Ottawa, 111. II. T. Locke, agent of HiU Bros., New York. Rev. Farrell Hart and wife, White Pigeon, Michigan. ------Boblinsky, a dealer in old iron, Chicago. Harrv L. St. Clair, of Lawndalp. Til Captain A. E. Goodrich was asked to give his theory of THE FATE OF THE ALPENA, and replied: "I thought first that, she might have broken her engines and been lost in that way. lam satisfied that she did not. She had very powerful engines. Vessels saw her up to the middle of Saturday, and her engines were working then. One vessel reports that she saw the Alpena listed down so that one wheel was out of the water and the other in the trough of the sea, and her engines were then at work. My own opinion is this: Captain Napier was a man full of courage. There was no such thing as cowardice about him. He had that bulldog, hang-to activeness that would not give up as long as there was a righting chance. The Alpena n was last seen about thirty miles off Chicago. In-J stead of squaring off for Milwaukee, as he migti have done had he commenced in time, he fough the storm until the sea got so big than when sh< dropped into the trough of the sea her freighl shitted to the leeward, pitching one wheel out oj the water, and lie was not able to right her. Sin probably remained in that position until th« sea knocked her to pieces, which was probably good many hours. I think she rode out the] storm. She probably did not go to pieces until the wind shifted to the northwest. That was Sunday night, I don't think she went to pieces] until that time because of the stuff going ashorei at Holland. If she had broke up previously, when ttie wind was from the southwest, portions of the wreck would have drifted in the neighborhood of the Sauble. But the stuff struck the beach so much further south it would look as if the wind had shifted to the northwest before she went to pieces. I think she lasted a long time after she dropped into the trough of the sea She must have gone to pieces somewhere between Racine and the oast shore, some time Saturday night or early Sunday morning. I don't think any small boat could have lived in that storm., I suppose all must have perished. If my theory is correct the bodies of the passengers and crew will probably come ashore between Grand Haven] and Holland. We have men there patrolling thei beach, and as soon as a body is found we will be. [informed of the fact by telegraph "" It is a significant fact that the Mary Groh went£ through the storm and was saved by having A MAST AND SAIL Had the Alpena had a sail and mast, she, too,j| might have been lifted out of the trough of their [ sea, in which she was shaken to pieces. It is the! opinion of many lake men that all passeogcr steamers should be thus provided in case of emergency. Captain Goodrich said that the Alpena had, i: officers and crew, twenty-five men, as follows Captain, two mates, two wheelsmen, two loo" out men, six deck hands, two engineers, two firi [men, clerk, steward, four cabin boys, two cook the collision. From all that can be learned in Chicagro, it seems that the Canisteo was wholly to blaime for the collision, and it has been understood thait he owners of the Murray would send a bill forr the damage to the Murray to the owners of the (Canisteo—-The Union Steamboat Company. The Canisteo was valued at abou; $46,0009, and her cargo at about $25,000, making $U5,,000. Tue value of the Murray is about $45,,000. Good lawyers in Chicago, who were seen last night by the marine reporter of THE Iinteb Ocean—three of our best admiralty lawy/ers— say that under the circumstances, as show-in by Captain Hurlbut's protest, the Canisteo stsands •her own loss, and, in justice, should also pa;y for the damage to the Murray. THE SUNKEN BAEG-E SCOTT. LATEST 'CONCERNING ITE11. The barge Thos. A. Scott, sunk in Mihvauj kee Bay, lies in about thirty-two feet o: water, and an attempt may be made to res cue her. The hull and cargo, of corn arc fully covered by insurance. The propeller Avon, which collided with the Sc< caused her to sink, arrived in Chicago on Saturday morning, She bears no evidence of the collision. It will he remembered that several years ago, when the Scott was a propeller, it was alleged that she collided with the brig Robert Burns, which went down with all hands. ) THE TRADER LOST, WITH ALL HANDS. The inquiries of the Goodrich Company iin re gard to the Alpena have developed the sad fact that the steambarge Trader is lost, and thait all hands probably perished. The barge City of Grand Haven, which put back to Grand Haven last evening, reported passing through the, wreckage of the Trader on Friday mornimg off] Grand River, and the officers of the Grand ISaven (according to a late private dispatch) are off the impression that there are no survivors. The Trader's route was between Chicago and Mtuske-gon, she being engaged in the lumber ttrade. Captain Frank Brown was master, and the icrew numbered, in all, ten men. She" measured! 150J tons, and was built at Marine City by P. Priice in 1865. Her class was B 2, and her value :aboutj $6,000. S.

SpeciaJ Teleeram to The Inter Ocean. Muskegon, Mich., Oct. 18.—William Biissell, mate, and Angus Linklater, brother of the> captain of the Granada, were the only survivoors of he wreck. Linklater's report is as follows:: "The vessel left for Chicago Friday night under a strong breeze. Shortly after the [steering apparatus gave way and we were left tto the mercy of the waves. The storm grew morre and more severe and each moment we expected to be thrown into eternity. Saturday' noon the steward and a sailor died from exposure, amd I myself prayed to God that I nnight be struck dead with one of the masts. At noon Sunday we saw land, and at once "began to make rafts. Soon after I discovered a sailor being erustued to nieces where the vessel had parted, for slue was fast going to pieces. He cried, "For God's- sake, move me," I did so, and wrapped him ia canvas. The captain and I made a. raft and sttarted for shore. Soon after it parted and the caiptain went down. He came up and I seized hirni, but he was again washed off. I never saw him mgain. In pulling him up I crushed my hand atgainst the lumber.

A dispatch from Toledo, dated Saturdays says: "The schooner Oneonta, of Chicago, arrived from Buffalo to-day, reports having ; lost a man overboard on Thursday morning i about 1:30 o'clock, twenty miles from Port I Burwell, Lake Erie. The man was aloft at :; the foremast head shifting sail, and, missing ] his foothold fell into the Jake. The wind was blowing a six to eight knot breeze, and it was very dark. A boat crew was at once sent out from tho Oneonta to endeavor to ;. rescue the sailor, but on account of the j darkness accomplished nothing, and in the end the crew of the small boat lost sight et' the Oneonta.
