ALTHOUeH the Leader is only a daily ‘paper and does not circulate generally among marine men the enormous tonnage it gives to some of our lake carriers might serve to mislead many of its readers who do not understand such things. In speaking about the new steel steamer, to be built by the Union Drydock, Co., the Leader man says “she will carry 300,000 tons;’’ and we were length of keel, 212 feet; breadth of beam, 86 feet; depth of hold, 141g feet. Her carrying capacity is placed at .1,500 tons. She has a fore and aft compound engine 26 and 44x20. She has two Scotch boilers ten feet shell and eleven feet long. She willbe fitted out immediately for the Lake Su-— perior trade. She is fitted with a fore and aft compound engine made by S. F. Hodge & Company, Detroit, cylinders being 46x30 and 44x30 swinging a 11 feet wheel. Her boilers — are of the Scotch pattern 10 feet shell by 11 feet long. All her machinery is of the very latest improved design and no expense has been spared in her construction. She is diagonally iron strapped and rates Al and is a credit to her owners and builders. Fred W. Barclay who last season sailed the tug Tom Maytham, and who on Friday startled Wednesday morning by the follow-| last went to Saginaw to charter the tug ing statement: «The propeller Onoko, the monster car- rier of the lakes, arrived at Sandusky on Monday morning with a cargo of 25,089 gross tons of ore.’”? It is generally known that the Onoko is a great carrier but with the limited depth of water at the Flats and other places one would think that she could hardly get through with such a cargo, JUDGMENTS amounting to $1,000,000 have been entered on the court records against the Erie Extension Canal Company, now a defunct corporation, but formerly operating a canal from Beaver to Erie. Rule was made to show cause why executions should not be issued, and right of way seized. This is an attempt of the Ohio River & Lake Erie Railroad to secure a perfect and already graded right of way from Shenango Junctlon to Erie without paying forit. The canal | company has long been dead, and its lands have been seized by farmers, and many small towns are built along the old site. ‘The issue of executions would oust all these. EE RESTS CONSIDERABLE improvements are con- Stantly being made at the port of Duluth, Minn. But none are more marked than those of the Duluth Storage and Forwarding Company. They have built a dock 140x500 feet, and a warehouse that covers a space of 200x100 feet, and the company is contem- plating other important additions. The Omaha road has contracted with them to.do all its lake business. Another important factor in the development of Duluth is the large warehouses for the storage of flour during the winter.—American Grain Trade and Elevator, Hattie Brown, met with a severe accident that will lay him up for some time to come. It seems that after cleaning the boiler and making some repairs to the machinery steam was gotten up and Captain Barclay, who was sitting in the engine room, told the engineer to give her a little steam to try the engine with. No sooner said than the steam pipe burst, scalding Captain Barclay in a terrible manner, He was brought to his home in this city and was getting along as comfortably as could be expected when your correspendent saw him last Sunday, War has again broken out on the river. Last week Messrs, English & Mahar put the steamer Lucile on the Saginaw and Point Lookout route, running between the Me- tropolisand Arundel of the shore line, which move brought Captain Darius Cole upon the scene with threats of bringing the steamer Idlewild from Detroit to run in opposition to the river line steamers Burt and Mason, also owned by English & Mahar. promise was effected and the Lucile has been. taken from the route and will, for the present, make herself useful by chasing up - the two tugs Sutton and Handy Boy who, — on the last trip up of the steamer W. R. Burt, have been in the habit of leaving about one half hour ahead of the large boats, taking a_ considerable number of passengers by the operation. The result of this move remains to be seen. : i eae leeee? The tug Temple Emery and consort Wabnapetae, with her second load of 600,- 000 feet of logs, arrived in the river Satur- _ day night. She presents the appearance of an immense roll why of saw logs.
