170 CAR FERRY ANN ARBOR NO. 4 TURNS TURTLE. The car ferry Ann Arbor No. 4 turned turtle in the loading slip at Manistique on Saturday, May 29, with 24 cars of iron ore. The accident happened while the ferry was being loaded, the two center tracks being filled with loaded cars, and the cars being placed on the port tracks. There were eight cars in the string, two' of which were to be put on the port track, When the cars left the apron the ferry began to list, dragging the remaining cars onto the boat and breaking away from the locomotive. It is estimated that fully 10 minutes elapsed from the time the ferry began listing until it turned completely over. When it had turned partly over the cars on the center tracks crashed onto the port track, tearing away the stanchions and smokestack and _ send- ise the boat to the bottom. The wrecker Favorite is at work on the wreck. A -cofferdam is being built about the stern of the car ferry and the 'cars are being removed by the crane. .It will probably be several days yet before the ferry is righted. CANADIAN LOCK OF SAULT CANAL WRECKED. The Canadian lock of the Sault canal was wrecked on June 9, when the steam- er Perry G. Walker, of the Gilchrist fleet, rammed her bow through the low- er gate, through a mistake of signals. Definite information is lacking, but the accident appears to have been caused by -- a misunderstanding of signals, . Capt. Moosher of the Walker declaring that his signals to back up were interpreted by the engineer as full speed ahead. The upper gates were open when the Walker broke down the lower gates and converted the canal into a mill- race with all the power of Lake Supe- rior behind it. The Canadian Pacific passenger steamer Assiniboia was moored within the lock chamber at. the time. She was torn from her moor- ings and overtaking the Walker ripped a hole in the Walker's side with her port anchor. The bulk freighter Crescent City of the Pittsburg Steamship. Co.'s fleet, loaded with ore, was just entering the locks when the accident occurred. Riding on the crest of the waves, she was swept down stream with . tremen- dous velocity, overtaking the Assiniboia, striking her a glancing blow and tear- ing a great hole in her own side as she swept past the broken lower gate. Tugs caught her and towed her to the _ American side, where she settled on the bottom. Meanwhile the Assiniboia had reached open water below with slight ' Tae Marine REVIEW Car Ferry Ann Arsor No. 4 As Swe Lies at THE Dock, injuries. The Walker was whirled around several times and finally landed in a shoal out in the stream, not greatly in- jured. Both upper gates of the lock and one lower gate were wrenched from their fastenings. The other lower gate still hangs to its fastenings, twisted and broken. This is the first serious acci- dent that has happened to the locks at the Sault since they were constructed in 1855. The Canadian lock was fin- ished in 1896 and is 900 ft. long and 60 ft. wide. The movable dam across the Canadian . canal has been lowered with the excep- tion of one leaf, which is so twisted that it is impossible to lower it. Prep- arations are now being made to timber this part of the dam and thus control the water, which is now rushing through the aperture with great force. CLEVELAND INDUSTRIAL EX- POSITION. : The Cleveland Industrial Exposition which opened Monday, June 7, is cred- itable throughout, and doubtless sur- prised many in its.great variety. . It needed only this exposition to prove that Cleveland in diversified manufac- ture is hardly excelled. _The exposition was formally opened by. Charles -F. Brush, president of the chamber of.commerce, and F, F. Pren- tiss,; chairman of the exposition com- mittee, who more than any other man had to do with furthering this project. Its sticcess was so instantaneous that it is quite likely to become an annual feature of Cleveland life. Naturally its maritime display is con- siderable, and much thought has been expended in making' the booths at- tractive. For instance, the Upson- Walton Co. have an excellent model of the lake freighter J. Pierpont Mor- gan; the C: QO. Bartlett & Snow Go. a model of conveying machinery in actual operation; the Brown Hoisting Machinery Co. and the Wellman-Sea- ver-Morgan Co., have fine displays of machinery well known from one end of the lakes to the other. The Chase Machine Co. also make an excellent display of their specialties. Among other firms that cater in part to the marine trade exhibiting may be men- tioned the Cleveland Punch & Shear Works, the Cleveland City Forge & Iron Co., the Chisholm & Moore Mfg. Co., the Bruce-Macbeth Engine Co., the Nicholson Ship Log Co., the Glid- den Varnish Co., the Forest City Paint & Varnish Co., the Sherwin-Williams Co., and Warner & Swasey. MORE GOVERNMENT ENGI- NEERS NEEDED. Asserting that "the duties devolving upon the officers of the corps of engi- neers are now greater than ever be- fore in its history," Brigadier-General William L. Marshall, chief of .engi- hects,; lS A. in his annual réepore presents the need for an enlargement of the personnel "if the. work is to be carried on with the. same high standard of. efficiency which has pre- viously ever characterized it." With the same enlisted strength as at pres- ent .he sees the necessity for an in- crease of 60 in the authorized number officers. This increase should be only in the grades above that of second lieutenant, as officers of that grade are not available for, and should not be assigned, either to the of engineer charge of construction. work or as as- sistants thereon. It would add four colonels, 7 lieut.-colonels, 13 majors, 18 captains, and. 18. first lieutenants. The increase is due entirely to the need for officers, and has nothing to
