He died at the marine hospital, Cleveland, where he had been hurried by members of the crew.

Uhler reported everything to be in-satisfactory condition.

Baker! of Detroit, has .succeeded in raising: the schooner: Emma Lx Coyne which was sunk, near: Ballard'se Reef recently by the tug 'Wallula. The!Goyne is badly in- jured.
