Thos, Fitzpatrick, ex-local inspector and Byron Whitaker, a vessel owner and broker of Detroit, accompanied by their wives, are sojurning on Lake Superior, visiting both shores. The steamer V. Swain, Captain Thompson has carried four cargoes of coal up and brought down two cargoes of Duluth wheat and three cargoes of Ashland ore this season. j| Quite a good record. The Cleveland City Forge and Iron Com- pany forged the rudder stock and frame for the new Brazilian steamship Allianca, built by John Roach & Son to ply between New York City and Brazilian ports. The Cleveland Saturday Graphic is beautified with a new dress and otherwise improved. The Graphic is a live paper and has grown into a good patronage under the management of Messrs Fellers & Salen. Although the Cleveland tugs have this season been doing a better paying business than for two or three seasons past, the small ports around this city are now taking much of the business that formerly came here. Mr. Richardson, of the firm of H.J. Webb and Company, shipbrokers, will make the round trip.on the new steamer J. H. Outh- waite. The new steamer took up 1800 tons of voal and wi!l bring down Escanaba ore. Samuel T’, Dwyer, pilot on tug S. S. Stone was suspended July 24 fur thirty days for not answering signals and gross carelessness, thereby causing a collision of a mud scow in tow of tug Stone with the tug Chas. Castle. Commodore Dyer, of the tenth lighthouse district, furnishes the following: “Mariners are warned that the location of Fairport beacon light, entrance to Fairport Harbor, O., is erroneously given in the list of lights, edition 1886, as twenty-five feet from outer end of west pier. It should read twenty-five feet from outer end of east pier.’’ Captain Thomas Wilson and others of this city have purchased the schooner M. E. | Tremble from N. 8, Whipple of Detroit. Consideration $21,000. She had _ been chartered by the Wilson line for the season | She will | and proves to be a good carrier. be sailed by Captain Skinner. The Tremble was built at Suamico by Gibson in 1874. Mr. Wm. Radcliffe, builder of the J. H. Outhwaite, yesterday received a dispatch directing him to repair to Milwaukee, where that steamer is, toexamine her windlass, as it did not work right. The windlass on the Outhwaite is not one of the faultless machines from the American ship windlass Cumpany, but a Jas. Manton machine and one of the first of that style on the lakes. The handsome and swift little steamer | Cyclone has taken her departure for Chicago | to ply in the excursion business between | under | that port and Cheltenhani beach, charter by Captain Mitchell. ‘The Cyclone, with efficient officers, Captain Brown, engi- neer Lohmeyer, and an obliging clerk, has made herself very popular with the Cleve- » land pleasure seekers and will be sadly missed. We desire to direct attention to the adver- tisement in another page offering for sale a two year old steambarge. This boat isa great favorite and would be just the thing for the Lake Michigan trade, ore or lumber. Also, the fine and speedy tug yacht Tempest, which has a complete passenger outfit for forty-three persons. She can run from twelve to fitteen miles per hour, and would be a good investment for any who disires to put a passenger tug on any ef the rivers or Lake St. Clair. On Wednesday, August 24th, the new steel steamer City ot Cleveland, will make an excursion trip from Cleveland to Put-in-Bay Island, leaving here at 9 o’clock a. m., return- ing at 6:30 p. m., giving two and one half hours on the Island, The celebrated White sewing machine co’.s band, one of the finest in the state, have prepared a special musical programme for the occasion, to be renederd en route between Cleveland and the Islands, Altogether, this will be one of the pleasant- est trips that has ever been given out of this port. While the tug R. K. Hawley was towing the schooner H, OC. Richards into the Cincin- nati slip recently the end of the schooners jibboom struck the large corner stone on top of the abutment of the C. C. C. & I. bridge, around which there is no pile guard: The stone fell striking the tug, breaking one stanchion, the rail inside and out and then went through the deck, doing damage to the amount of $25. The same stone fell on the tug L. P. Smith last season and went through the deck. This is the only bridge on the river that is not protected by piles and it is time the matteris being looked after in the proper quarter and piles caused to be driven or the stones put in so that they cannot fall out, as they endanger life in the present condition. EAST SAGINAW. Special to the Marine Record, The barge Star of the North,that has been rebuilding at this port for some time past, is now completed, and has loaded for Tona- wanda. ‘The Star now rates B2, and isa fine looking craft. . Captain Charles Moiles, of the Moiles Brothers’ tug line at Detour, was recently united in marriage. to a very estimable young lady of this city. Mr. Hugh Jenkins has gone to Detour to repair the boiler of the tug Frank Tracy, belonging to Moiles Brothers, which a care- less engineer nearly ruined recently, Stillman’s steam derrick has received and landed all of the culvert timber for the Toledo & Ann Arbor Railroad Company. The steam yacht Laulie has had her en- gine thoroughly repaired, also a new steam dome put on her boiler. Thirty days more and the bridge, at the foot of Genesee avenue, will be finished, | and the river route, between this and Sigi- | naw City will be played, as it were, and the ferry will have to seek pastures green. Up to Saturday last the Tittabawassee | Boom Company had rafted and delivered to | mills on the Saginaw river 170,000,000 feet of pine saw logs, using the tugs Robert Weideman, Jessie P. Logie, and Little Giant , to do the work. ‘This is considered a re- | markably good showing. Captain Zach Lapham, the veteran skip- per, is at work fitting out the barge Mary | Stockton, which has been in idleness nearly | a year. i Captain Meizel’s barge Prince Alfred is in | port, discharging coal at the water works. Messrs.’English & Mohar, owners of the | steamers Lucile, Burt, and Mason, visited Bay View, at the mouth of Kawkawlin | | river, with a view of ranning excursions to ithat old resort. They found five feet of | | Water it the channel, which will allow i plenty of room tor the steamer W. R. Burt. | Grosse Point when her tow line snapped, A dock is to be built and the old place}some new bulwarks; opened. The old barge Losco, which is now used as alighter on the river, recently took 3,600 barrels of salt from one dock to another, which is the largest load of salt ever trane- ferred by lighter in this river. For some time past the owner of the steam yacht N. H. Bruno has had it in his head that his craft was a little the fastest boat on the creek, and his main idea was to down the Charles P. Fish, a very fast ferry steamer, now plying between this and Sagi- naw City. On Monday night the Bruno lay in waiting for the Fish, bottled up to kill, and as the Fish came along she opened up and the race began. The run is about two miles between the Cities, and suffice it to say the Bruno got badly left. This race will for a time at least settle a question that has been much talked about by the admirers of both boats. Saw. CHICAGO. Special to the Marine Record. The schooner James Mowatt, Captain D. P. Crane, arrived Saturday night from Erie with 1200 tons of coal. Her freight was 65¢ perton. She leaves Wednesday for Esca- naba, where she will load iron ore for Buf- falo at $1.10 per ton.

She has made three trips from Buffalo to this port since the first of this month with cargoes of merchandise, and this one will complete three trips to Buffalo, carrying over 2,500 tons of graiu and package freight each time from this port. The schooner Wanettee, Captain Jones, arrived here last Thursday in tow of the tug Flossie Thielcke, looking as though she had experienced bad weather outside, as she was minus her foremast, bowsprit and jib- boom. She left this port, light, for Muske- gon, and during Wednesday night she had haid work to make headway aguinst a heavy northerly wind, and when about in mid-lake her bowsprit, which was a very old one, broke off, and her foremast, having nothing to stay it, soon went as well. She was! tossed about at the merey of the waves until about 4 o’clock, when the steambarge Albert Soper, Captain Hogan, hove in sight and in reply to signals of distress from the schooner wentto her‘assistance and took her in tow for Chicago. The Soper towed her to about off and Captain Hogan, finding that he could not get another tow line from her, made the best of his way for Chicago and sent the tug to her aid, The Wanettee is getting a new foremast, bowsprit and paw! post at Miller Brothers’ shipyard.

Beckwith, the surviving partner of the old firm of Atkins & Beck- with, has submitted a lengthy report on the , case, which he bases upon a demurrer of the plaintiff to the defendants’ answer, This suit is brought to enforce an accounting of the affairs of the defendant while he was a member of the ‘‘Big Four” combination or pool in 1883, for the purpose of compelling: him to divide certain commissions on in- — surance premiums he collected, In refer- ring to the pooling scheme Commissioner. Weller writes as follows: “It was a bold scheme to combine and place under the practical management of one man a capital of $11,285.65 and fix the rate of insurance on freights at 75¢ per $100, and if successful: — sulted in immense returns to the agents. It was a combination to prevent competition Insurance upon © the transportation of the great products of to control the market. - the country is a matter of public concern, ‘involving the interests of the whole popula- : tion. The law tract designt petition would be null and void, and such being the purpose and effect of the agree- ment in question, there can, in my opinion, be no doubt as to its illegality.” The an- swer of the defendant is permitted to stand, It was brought before the Board of Trade for the purpose of forcing an accounting, but the directors of that institution dis- missed it on the ground that it did not come within their jurisdiction.
