Surveyors are at work surveying the Bessemer short line from Five Points, Pa., southwest of Conneaut, to Niles, O. ‘The road will be used in conveying ore from Conheaut harbor to the blast furnaces at the southern terminal. Eight mechanical, stokers, of.the,kind made by the Du- luth,, Stoker .Co., .Duluth;,.Minn.,;and which ate in ‘use on several large lake. cargo steamers, have been purchased by the Eastern Shipbuilding Co.; and«will be installed in the first of the big Hill Pacific liners-now building at Groton, Conn. The owners of the steamboats Monmouth and Sandy Hook have placed with the Cramps an‘order for a steam- boat that will be able to make twenty-five knots an hour. The boat is to be ready by Memorial Day of next year. The new boat is. designed to. make the’ journey between, . New York and Sandy. Hook in,not more than 55 minutes. It is reiterated that the White Star line has definitely de- clined to be managed by the Morgan syndicate in any shape until.the purchase money for the line is paid. ‘The syndi- cate has declined to ‘deposit the money until the English lines relinquish their #tdividual management. The tremend- ous price demanded for the White Star ‘Line may have caused a halt. During her last trip down the lakes from ‘Marquette with a cargo of'ore, the steamer Continental was’ twice made the object of attack by lightning. Her cabin was the mark for both bolts which struck the ship, and its woodwork was badly shattered, though none of the occupants suffered. Besides the damage to her cabin the steamer had a splint- ered rail. The Erie, Pa., fishing fleet of thirty-five tugs are laid up .as’the result of the announcement of the A. Booth Co. of a reduction of one-half cent on the price of herring and ciscoes.” Mafiy of the tugs have been: operated on shares. and it is the crews:of these boats that are affected.

The Falcon should have fallen behind the Madagascar, but instead, attempted.to pass, with the result that the stiction from the’ vessel threw het into, collision. with ‘the Fryer. The Falcon is held for damages, and the Madagascar, which was made a co-de- fendant, was discharged from all liability. Inspection of the steamer Portage, which collided with the lumber barge Flint, in tow of the steamer Viking, off Grosse Point recently, shows that the vessel is out of line. about sixteen inches, Her stem, all main ‘stanchions, stringers and top frames forward are broken.” A‘completé rebuild of the entire forward part of, the steamer will be necessary. She has been turned over to the Buffalo’ Dry- dock Co. : Government Proposals. U. S. ENGINEER OFFICE, Buffalo, N. Y., July 23, 1902.
