There are now 107 lake carriers laid up here and it is probable that several more will be added within the fe next few days. rm, A representative of the Winslow estate, of Buffalo, was at this port Tuesday, and in connection with Captain A. R. Manning, representing the companies in which she is insured, looked over the Egyptian. Survey was held yesterday. J. ©. Crocker mate of the schooner St. Lawrence, who has been held here, charged with several crimes in this country and Canada, was released from custody on the oq. A telegram was received from Port Rowan, stating that Crocker was not wanted there for murder, He states that the accu- sations made against him were the out- growth of jealousy and spite. F. Perry Swain, chief eugineer on the steamer Republic, and Miss Sadie Thomp- son, were married last evening at the resi- dence of the bride, 191 Taylor street. The happy couple started on a wedding tour to New York city and the east on the 11 o’clock train Wednesday evening, where they will enjoy two weeks of pleasure. ‘Ihe presents were appropriate and beautiful. The ma- rine paper of the lakes wishes the newly- joined couple a happy and prosperous union, inasmuch as Mr. Swain is one of our best marine engineers. Captain Robert Kerr learned Monday that the body of his father, Cuptain Kerr, of the schooner Constitution, had been found at Colchester, and started with the tug W. D, Cushing to bring it to thiscity, The Cush- ing arrived back Tuesday. The body is hardly recognizable by his friends from long exposure in the water. On arriving here the remains were taken to the undertaking rooms of E, H. Saxton, No. 284 Pearl street. The funeral will take place at 2 o’clock this (Thursday) afternoon. The schooner Alva Bradley, whose repairs are about completed, came out of drydock Monéay night and the steamer Egyptian took her place. The latter has been leaking to such an extent since her mishap at Lorain that it has been necessary to keep a pump working on her mostof the time. Threeen- tirely new frames will be required, and probably two more will need strengthening, besides several new planks. The hole in her bottom is located on her port side at a point about under her pilot house. P. H. Doyle, chief engineer in Bradley’s employ, has resigned his position. The best feeling exists between Mr. M. A. Bradley and Mr. Doyle, and it is to be hoped that this note will correct any false impressions that prevail in the matter. Mr, Doyle is one of the most reliable engineers we have on the Jakes, and as no dereliction of duty nual ball, given by the sea-_ ertisement on another page showing that. much enjoyed by all those who attend: stands against him during hls seven years of service io the Bradley line, it will be un- pecessary io say that he will guin a good trade in his new business, steam fitting, brass goods, and general engineers’ sup- plies, ete.

Hammon, Sergt. Signal Corps, U, S A; In acommunication to Harbor-master Peter Lynch, City Civil Engineer Rice writes: “I desire as a precaution to call your atten- tion to the necessity of using the utmost care and good judgment as regards the dis- position of vessels in this port for the win- ter. I would suggest that the waterway in the river channel be as little obstcucted as possible, and that only the best docks be selected to tie to, as’ great damage may ac- crue to docks, vessels, and city bridges in the event of severe treshets in the spring. After consultation with the city solicitor I would state that vessels run a great responsi- bility in tying to poor docks. If a boat should be made fast to an insecure and un- stable dock and at any time should break loose from, her fastenings by reason of the insecurity of the dock or her own fastenings and damage should be done to any ot the city bridges, the city will look to the own- ers of any such boat for indemnity.” Among the late movements at this port yesterday was the arrival of the steamer Wocoken, from Ashtabula, and the Argo-; naut, from Fairport, schooner Colonel Cuok, from the Islands, with stone. The steamer Harry Cotterell got away light, probably for Toledo, The steamer Siberia is expected in from Ashtabula, and it has been reported that the Gilchrist and Alverson, now on the way down, will come in here to spend the winter. These arrivals, outside of short trips to the Island, will probably complete move- ments at this port this season, Several more boats are on the way down for Erie and Buftalo. Mr. Hale, the marine editor of the Cleve- land Leadey, has made a very creditable re- port of the Bradley fleet: With the arrival of the steamers Maurice B. Grover and City of Cleveland at Chicago all the vessels com- posing the Bradlay fleet will have gone into winter quarters, The disposition of the fleet will then be about as follows: M. B. Grover, City of Cleveland, Henry Chisholm, E. B, Hale, R. P. Ranney, John Martin, and Negaunee in Chicago; D. P, Rhodes at Lorain; Thomas Quayle, at Vermillion; J. 8. Fay and Ahira Cobb, at Fairport; and 8. E. Sheldon, Superior, Sandusky, S. P. Ely, 8. H. Kimball, and A. Bradley, at Cleveland. During the winter attention will be given to putting several of the vessels in excellent shape for next season’s sailing. The most work will probably be done on} the steamer Superior, While she lies at the waterworks dock everything from below {the main rail up will be torn away and she will receive a complete rebuild, at an esti- mated cost of about $10,000, The steamer 8. E, Sheldon will be given new ceiling and part new upper deck, at a cost of about $1,500. Schooner Thomas Quayle will be rebuilt at Vermillion from below her plank sheer up, and be given entire new decks at acost of about $3,500. The schooner San- di. giyennew flooi-ceiling and receive a thorough recalking inside and out. The S. P. Ely will be given new keelsons besides receiving a general overhauling. The A. Bradley will receive besides present repairs to her bottom, a complete rebuild from her plank skeer up. Schooner 8. H. ‘days to theitrip. CLEVELAND. O.. DECEMBER 8 1887. $2.00 PxR ANNUM Sineue Copies 5 Cents Kimball will be given new decks, new cen- ter board box, new hatches, and new hatch- combings. The E. B. Hale, John Martin, and Negaunee willall of them be drydocked and recalked. ‘I'he protits of the season, altogether, are believed to foot up better and make a more satisfactéry showing than any year since 1880, In the movements of the several vessels, as might naturally be ex. pected, special interest has been taken in the new steamship Maurice B. Grover, Cap- tain James Stone, master. The latter vessel, since she was launched last May and started on her first voyage May 25, has brought -| down twenty-two. cargoes of ore from Esca- naba aud carried up two loads of coal to Like Michigan ports. Of the twenty-two trips for ore, twenty-one of them have beén made onan average of seven and one-third Out of the time required to bring down these twenty-two loads she lost eight or nine days on aceount of a broken wheel. CHICAGO, Special to the Marine Record ' Navigation at this port is about closed, and the ship chandlers have their spacious lofts nearly filled with the garments recently worn by the large fleet of steam and sail vessels, laid up for the winter season. ‘The past season has been an excellent one, and all vessel men are well satisfied and are living in hopes that next season will be as good as the one they have just got through Withy= 205 \ ig RR The Phestigo Co.’s barge line have laid up their fleet, comprising the steamer Bosco- bel and six barges, all under command of Captain Wm. Nicholson. ‘They had a very successful season, during which they made fifty-two round trips, and brought 52,000,000 feet of lumber to this port. Captain Wm. Johnson’s fleet of fine schooners, comprising the Olga, Vega, Alice. and W.,.O. Goodman have been placed in winter quarters, in good shape. They have put in a good season without having ex- perienced any mishaps. The fine steamship Syracuse, owned by the Western Transit Co., and commanded by Captain V. Jones, will winter here, She has had a most successful season, and made twenty round trips between Buffalo and this port without any mishaps whatever. The prcpeller Annie Young, of the An- chor line, arrived here early Tuesda> morn- ing with. merchandise from Buffalo, which port she left on the morning of November 19. She experienced very bad weather, and was forced to run back for shelter several times on her way up, Vessel men say a ligbthouse is needed badly on Poe’s reef, in the Straits of Macki- naw. ‘Tbe steamship Albany ran on to the reef recently, and cost her owners a very large amount to get her off, The steamer Scott ran on it and sank some years ago, as did also the schooner Bentley, and she proved a total loss, The fine steamship Aurora and tow, the David Dows, arrived here Sunday morning with coal from Buflalo. This is the Auro- ra’e first appearance at this port. Sheisa splendid looking craft, and everything on board of her is most modern and complete, Captain Wm. Muck is very proud of her and so is Engineer Thomas, who says her splen- did trlp!e compound engine, which was built by the Cleveland Shipbuilding Co, is a great success, and that the Aurora with her con- sort, runs ata gait of 104 miles per hour regularly. M. A. Bradley, of Cleveland, was in Chi- cago Tuesday, looking after his fleet, lying up here. The steamship E. B, Hale, of the Bradley | fleet, is to receive a new boiler, and have her high pressure cylinders reduced here during the winter. O. N. Steele, of the Cleveland Ship-build- ing Co., was here on Friday last, arranging for some repvirs which are to be done to the boiler of the steamship John Glidden. The steamship Tioga with grain, and H. | priated 1or the prosecution of the offenders. Jewett with merchandise, left this port for Buffalo Mouday. Bids haye been received tor furnishing the city a tug for crib service. The boat is needed to visit the crib regularly during the winter. ‘Vhere were three bidders, as follows: Chicago Towing Co., $800 per month; Vessel Owners? Towing Co., $800 per month; J. S, Dunham Towing Co., $1,- 000 per month. The city will probably re- advertise, The Vessel Owners’ shipping office closed its books for the season last Thursday. As its name implies, the concern was established by the vessel owners of Chicago for the pur. pose of signing in their'own sailors, the seaman’s union having become obnoxious. During the eight months beginning April 1| receive a new deck and steel arches 18 inches and ending November 30, Shipping-master MecMorran has supplied vessels within the corporation with 1,646 men. Besides this there were sent toother ports 133 men.’ Th office is maintained by a per tonnage ASBEBS- | || ment, the money thus obtained having been more than ample to pay aj] running ex-| penses. When members of the union inter-" fere with the seamen shipped from this overhauling and calking; the schoonergHal- stead, was in dock tor temporary repairs to enuble her to unload; the tug Ruby wag ia dock for calking aJl over; tugs Satisfaction and Thos. Hood, for repairs to stern bear- ings. The schooner Annie O. Hanson, arrived here Monday night with lumber from Frank- fort, which port she left on Wednesday of last week. Sheexperienced very bad weather and bas been nearly three weeks making the round trip. : NA The steambarge Albert Soper, Captain Hogan, made 92 round trips between this port and Muskegon during the past season and brought to this port 40,000,000 feet of lumber. She will be placed in drydock and inches wide 34 inch thick, and steel pl. ot her keelson.: The work will be. Messrs. Miller and Donald: oy aay! office a provision is made and money appro- |. But one such case came up before the court this season. It was pushed and won. The captain of the steamer George Spen- cer telegraphed from Escanaba last Thurs. day that he was unable to get a cargo of ore: | there-and asked “if he could get’ a load or grain here. The Spencer was chartered fof corn to Buffalo at 5c. The George T. Hope, Bulgaria, Sitka, Ly- coming, and George W. Adams arrived here Thursday, and the Oceanica and New York left for Buftalo, The JInter- Ocean says: The Ogden canal is the property ‘of a private corporation and has no properly constituted legal head, The harbor masters have been vainly endeavor- ing to make moral suasion in the canal serve the purpose the authority of their office does j in the main river. The complicated condi- tion of things in that waterway at present is due to the fict that a vessel’s master has no respect for the orders of the harbor force while bis bottom is afloat in the Ogden canal. The propellers John B. Lyon, Bulgaria, Wyoming, and R. R. Rhodes are ehoked in at the south entranve of the canal, and are unable to get up, while the schooner S. H. Foster, with a winter’s dock in waiting for her, is in the canal and can’t get out. Thus the southern entrance is virtually barri- eaded, At the north exit of the canal the Rising Star, City of Erie, and Windsor effectually cut off all hope of reliet for the other end, . The harbor masters are power- less in the matter, as the ditch is outof their jurisdiction. The propeller John F, Eddy ran into the schooner John Miner near Carpenter street, carrying away considerable of the latter’s head gear. The Eddy lost quite a number of stanchions. At Miller Bros,’ shipyard the steambarge Inter-Ocean was in dock and had her butts calked and stern bearing fixed; the schooner | E. A. Nicholson for a thorough re-calking all over; the schooner Melbourne had her bottom calked; the steamship Hiawatha re- ceived a general overhauling and recalking. A fierce westerly gale, with an average velocity of over forty miles an hour, pre- vailed throughout Sunday, but quite a fleet that got under the Jee of the west shore reached the harbor. The arrivals, with one exception, were from lower lake ports. They were the steamers Syracuse, Lehigh, Jobn Pridgeon, Wissabickon, M. B. Grover, George Spencer, Aurora, Escanaba, Portage, Fred Mercur, and schooners David Dows and Schuylkill. Tbe Tacoma with corn for Buffalo, was the only departure. . The George Spencer, which came from Escanaba to load grain, was ordered into winter quar- ters as soon as she got here. At the Chicago drydock company’s, the hooner Higyie, is in dock for a general trips: Georgian Bay,) and the north Superior, the worst route on of lakes. Twenty-eight trips number ever made before, so. ‘vious recurds Have bee beaté thing is satisfactory. Cy AYTON. Special to the Marine Record, The Nina is out in Johnson’s shipyard for a thorough rebuild. Mr. E. Bastion has the frames out for a new steamer for Dr. H. Bain, 87 feet keel, 16 feet beam, to take the place of the Jessie Bain, dismantled. The St. Lawrence is lower now than ever before, : With the new boat to be built by the Rathbun Co, this winter the Gananoque and Clayton route will be extended to Alexan- dria Bay next season, and three’ trips a day made instead of two as was done this season, [t is said the boat will be capable of making fourteen miles an hour. She will be large enongh for excursion purposes, The propeller Schoolcraft, laid up at our docks last night, was the last boat for the sea- son through the Welland canal for Ogdens- burg. C. M. M. TOLEDO, Special to the Marine Record. The tugs J. S. Spinner and Thompson Bros. are hauled out at the foot of Adams street and will be thoroughly rebuilt this winter. The tug Pathfinder has been ironed off in first-class shape, and is being held ready for anything that should happen to want as- sistance in the ice. Three new craft are being built bere this winter. A new sand sucker for Doville & Co. ; a fish tug, about 50 feet long, for Davis Bros.: and a steambarge, about 90 feet long, for D. Y. Howell & Son. Davis’ boat will have the Inguersen’s engine, a 12 by 13, and Howell’s, boat wil] have the Morning Star’s engine, a 12 by 16. The Anna P, Grover was the last arrival, She came in Monday with salt from Marine City. Probably the last crafts to leave will be the tug Roy and barge Minnie E, Orton. BAY CITY, Shipments from Bay City for November were: Lumber, 20,000,000 feet; shingles, 7,500,000; lath, 1,500,000, And from East Saginaw; lum- ber, 10,000,000; shingles, 5,000,000; lath, 1,000,- 000, River shipments show a decline of about 15,000,000 feet of lumber and 2,000,000 shingles. PORT ARTHUR. ‘ The steamer Myles will probably remain here this winter, While leaving port with a cargo of wheat she encountered heavy ice, and stove a hole in her bow. Repairs are being made, but it is not likely that she will make any further attempt to get away. The steamer Ontario will go into winter quar- ters here at ouce, 20 inches wide by 34 inch thick on each side’ eaten ie i te
