The barge M..R, Warner, Captain Joseph Lampo, will load coal for West Superior. ‘Messrs, DeWolf and McGrath local inrpect- ors of steamboat,s will be in Toledo today and in Sandusky tomorrow. Captain. J. N,. Reed keeper of the main light ‘at Buffalo was in the city today, He was attended by his wife. They have been to Vermillion on the sad duty of burying their son, who died Monday of consumption. ‘The captain of the propeller New Orleans feels friendly toward the people of Washburn and Ashland. He went into Washburn Thurs- 3 day morning last with 1,800 tons of coal and was out of Ashland the next evening with 1,600 gross ton of ore. Captain William Sims, who was in the city last week from Presque Isle, has sold the scow Laney Sims to Mrs. Emily. Parday of Rogers City, Mich., for $1.400 and purchased the little schooner, Venture of Mr. Far- ragher for $700. The Venture is quite an active little boat and will give Captain Sims good satisfaction, Captain Murch, who has been here look- : ing after the construction of the Hill boat at the Globe Iron works company’s yard, - has been in Minneapolis during the past week. That maiden trip of the Northern Light, built for that lhe; will probably take place Thursday or Saturday of next week. The tonnage of the following named lake vessels, steam and sail, according to the report from the Bureau of Navigation is: yacht Louise Munroe, Port Huron, gross 8.80, net 8.86; Steamer Arthur Woods, Buffalo N, Y.. gross $7.85 net 18.98; Steamer Albert Little, Buffalo N.

Murphy & Miller have secured the contract for raising the sunken barge Brook- lyn, and active operations were begun on her Monday. The services of Diver Roscoe Downer huve been secured, and the methods pursued in getting her up will be much the same as in the case of the steambarge Mary Pringle. Openings will be battened over and then the vessel will be jacked and pumped out, partially unloaded at least, and then put into drydock. Two sailors called on Deputy United States Marshall George Wyman Tuesday to complain of A. R. Rumsey, the shipping agent of the Cleveland vessel owner's association. Cne of the men gave his name as James Delaney, The second man’s name could not be learned but Delaney celled him ‘Jack.” ‘‘Jack’s” face presented a terrible appearance; and he said that Rumsey had beaten him. His eyes were black and his face badly cut. The men were sent to Lorain by Rumsey to ship aboard a steambarge.. They missed the boat and re- turned to Cleveland. Their meeting with Rumsey was not satsfactory but they claim that there was no cause for the treatment which they received. Rumsey’s. disposition is well known to the vessel owners of this city, but there are none among th:m who will approve | UMN DEVOTED T0 NAVIGATION, COMMEACH, EAGINLEKING AND SCIENCE. CLEVELAND. O..

The third steamboat for the Mutual Trak portation company, to be called the Corona, will be launched uext Wednesday at the -yard of the Globe iron works company. The Corona is modeled in all respects like the Corsica, being 292 feet keel, 312 feet over all, 40 feet beam, depth 24 feet, with a capacity of 2,800 tons on 1614 feet draft;she will carry four spare, and like the Corsica, the houses for the crew will be on deck, and an iron boiler house built by the Globe iron works company. She has a Providence steam windlass, and a capstan att, from the American ship windlass company. Her engines are triple expansion, high pressure cylinders 24 inches, intermediate 38 inches, and low preseure 61 by 42 inch. stroke, indi- cating 1,200 horse power; two boilers each 14 feet diameter by 124 feet in length,allowed 160 pounds of steam pressure to the square inch; engines and boilers were built by the Globe iron works company; her wheel is 14 feet in diameter by 16 teet pitch; she will have gangways for package freight. The Corona will cost about $280,000, The managere of the Detroit and Cleve- land line of boats have planned again for the delightful running arrangements they had Jast year. Beginning on Thursday, June 28, boats will leave euch end of the line at 9 o’clock a. m., und meet at Put-in-Bay. There passengers can take their choice af er spending a few hours at the Islands. They can either take the same boat on which they went to the bay and return home, or, ex- change boats; they can go either to Detroit or Cleveland, reaching either of those ports in time, of course, for the regular night boat out. As, for instance, a passenger leaving here on Thursday morning at 9 a. m. on the City of Cleveland can take the City of De- troit at Pat-in-Bay at 3p. m., arrive at De- troit at 6:30 p. m.,; and ‘taking the City of Detroit on her regular trip out that night of this kind of work in his official capacity, | ¥i!! arrive home aguin in‘Cleveland at 5 a.

Of the thirty new boats only three, the Annie M.Ash Arenac and Moravia, are sail vessels, which indicate that steam is now all the go. From a8 careful estimate made this season it is found that all but a bare 14 per cent. of the sail tonnage of the lake is towing behind steam. will be very low.

Hammon, Sergt. Signal Corps,U, S, A. Announcement was made, says the Leader of a new line to Detroit, which is undoubtedly destined to be quite popular. The fast steamer Greyhound, which was elegantly fitted up two years ago and put on the route between Detroit and Port Huron, is to be put on the line be- tween Detroit and Toledo. this year, and the beauty of the arrangement is the close con- nection which will be made with morning trains out of Cleveland. The latter, on reach” ing Toledo, will be in time for the boat which leaves at 9:30 o’clock, and reaches Detroit at 1 o’clock. Parties. desiring to go to Detroit, can make the journey in about one-half day and the larger part of it will be a delightful daylight ride on the water, and this too, amia the pleasantest surroundings, The yessel is fitted up in theroughly pleasing and comfort. able style Captain James Millen, of Detroit, theeffecient general manager of the lines states that no pains will be spared on the part of the officers to make the trip a pleasant one every way. ‘That this will be the case is further as- sured by the fact also that the boat is sailed by Captain William McKay, formerly of the Detroit and Cleveland line, and always a pop- ular master. The steamer is a safe boat, al” lowed to carry 2'000 passengers, It is under- stood that the fare for the ride will be x : CHICAGO, Special to the Marine Record. The steamship Owego, Captain W. Rob- inson, arrived Saturday evening from Mil- waukee and Buffalo. She made the run from Buffalo.to Milwaukee in 58} hours, breaking the fastest time on record, that of the H. J. Jewett, she having made it in 60 houre when Captain W. Robinson was in command of her. The schooner E. P. Royce arrived Sun- day night trom Prentiss Bay with lumber, her deck load being some 12 feet above the rail. Cuptain L. Sterling, jr., who sails her says she stood up under it as. stiff asa mountain and cculd carry still more. Monday morning the steamship Alaska and schooner John Mee collided in the south branch of the river; the Alaska had some of her bulwarks smashed in on the port side and the schooner lost her jibboom. The splendid new steamship ‘Tom Adams, Captain A, Cox, arrived on her maiden trip to this port about la, m. Tuesday with 2,- 200 tons of coal trom Ashtabula. She was built last winter by F. W. Wheeler, of West Bay City, for Adams and Farwell, of Detroit; her carrying capacity is 2,500 tons, She is 800 feet 4 inches over all, 41 jfeet beam, 23 feet hold, and has a tripie expan- sion engine 19, 32 und 52 by 40 and two steel Scotch type boilers 11 by 11 each, built by the Cleveland shipbuilding company, and the American ship windlass company’s steam windlasses and capstan and William- son Brothers steam steerer, and her officer’s quarters are fitted up elegantly in aecord- ance with Frank Wheeler’s usual custom. She carries {cur spars and is a very hand- some steamship, The splendid new steel steamship Lucka- wanna, Captain James Gibson, \the first launch of the Cleveland Shipbuilding com- pany, for the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western railroad, under the superintend- ence of M. M. Drake, formerly superintend- ent of the Union Diy Dock company, Buf- falo, arrived on her maiden trip at this port soon after 1 a.m. Tuesday, with 1,500 tons of coal und 800 tons of merchandise from Buflalo, calling on her way at Milwaukee and discharging some of her treight cargo, She is 287 feet over all, 88 feet beam, 24 feet hold; she bas a triple expansion engines 19, 30 and 52 by 40, which is placed aft; she carries two spars, schooner rigged, and has capacity for carrying very heavy loads; everything about ber is very complete and she ought to prove herself a gcod money maker for her owners. As she moved up the river many expressions regarding her business qualifications and smoothness of finish were heard, and the en‘erprise of the new yard at Cleveland highly commended. | Less than one year ago the Cleveland Ship- building company was in embryo, but today the first product of their skill gives evidence | that there is a corps of workmen employed ¢q'al to any in the land, Atthe Chicago Dry Dock company’s yard the suhooner Granger was in deck for calk- ing bottom and cther repairs, the steam- barge J. E. Ramble tor reyairs to her wheel, the tug Mariel for a new wheel, the tug Earnshaw for calking bottom, the steam- barge Monitor to have leak stopped, the schooner H. M. Score receiveda new center board, the schooner Lookout some new rail stringers and stanchions, The Dunham Towing and Wrecking com- pany received a telegraph mersuge Tuesday morning from Bartlett & McGregor, Windsor, Ontario, stating that Dunham’s wrecking outfit had been successful in pumping the coal out of and floating the schooner White Star, which went ashore last fall on Point Pelee, Lake Erie. She was purchased by Bartlett & McGregor after she was abandoned as a total loss, The grand. jury at the criminal court on Saturday last indited Valentine Fries for perjury upon evidence ‘produced before them by Captain Fagan. When the Susquehanna came i: to port a deck hand, named James Manning, who had been locked up by his captain for stealing wine, crawled through an air hole forward between decks, dived into the river and escaped arrest. The vessel was going at the rate of about six miles an hour, It was a remarkable feat, The Susquehanna made good time up the lakes on her present trip, She covered the course from Erie in sixty-two hours and fifteen minutes. Her time from Fort Graitot, light, to Mackinaw was seven hours and fifty minutes and from Mackinaw to Chicago, twei.ty-three hours and forty-five minutes. ‘'This, we claim,’’ said Gapta'n Gordon, the Anchor Line ageut, ‘‘is the best’ time ever made between these points.” The Susquehanna gained thirty-five minutes on the Hudson on the way up Lake Huron, al- though not crowded, She had 2,200 tons of freight on beard. The A. P. Wright Menday delivered 150,986 bushels oats from Chicago at Buffalo, the largest grain cargo but oneever taken. She was short fourteen bushels, In.1884 the Onoko delivered 160,992 bushels oats at Buffalo. The E. P. Wilbur, with 2,360 tons freight, ran down from Chicago to Buffalo in sixty- -eight hours, and had eighteen inches broke off one of the buckets of her wheel. yer time from De- troit was eignteen hours and twenty minutes, A new bucket will be put on here about June 15, Charles Peterson, mate of schooner Miuerva, fell overboard at Main street Tuesday and was drowned, The body was recovered an hour later. The schooner John Mee collided with the Alaska, smashing in the latter’s port side bul. warks. On May 27, 1886, early in the morning, P, A, Sanderson, mate vf the schooner 8. M. Forest, commanded by O. F. Saunders, fell overboad aud was drowned four miles off Waukegan. The widow, through Ca; tain John Keith, brought damage suit for $5,000, against Saunders, alleg- ing that he prevented his men from attempting arescue, The allegation is backed up by tuo affidavits of sailors setting furth the facts, Captain Henry Cullom, formerly master of the H, 8, Pickands, will command the new pro- peller Samuel Marshall, now being built at Graud Haven. Charles Larson has built fir Henderson Bradley, of Chicago, a sloop yacht 42 feet 6 inches over all, 10 feet 4 inches beam, 6 feet 4 inches hold, draft of water 6 feet; she carries 9 tons of ballast, 4 tons being outside forming the keel, ete.; her mast is 28 freer above the deck, topmast 24 feet long, main boom 36 feet, guft 26 feet, bowsprit 20 feet outside the knightbeads, spinnaker boom 86 feet, gaffiopseil pole 26 feer, wus launched three weeks ago but has not been named; sbe is a splendid model and has very fine lines and is expected to be very fast.

When tho job was finished the captain paid the contractor. The Lumber Shovers’ Union claim that the men who did no work received the lion’s share of the money and it some times happened that the steyedore ran away without paying the men at all. The demand of the union is that they receive their pay from the captain so they may dispense with _ the middle man.

The pr peller Lehigh, which has been re- pairing at Detroit, arrived at Buffalo with the remainder of her cargo. The Express says: the new propeller J. -Emery Owen, which is to tow the schooners Michigan and Nicholson the rest of the season did not deign to make Buffalo acall. She came down as faras the breakwater Monday, picked up the Michigan, and left with her without coming inside. The propeller J. H. Devereux, whieh came down for coal Monday, has made a big record for the past eight days. A week ago Saturday she arrived in Milwaukee from Buffalo with a cargo of coal. She then went to Escanaba for ore, which she discharged in Clevelaud, and left there with 2,800 net tons ofco.l. That is to say, counting the ore both in and out, she has hand!ed 9'000 tons of cargo in the time and sailed from Milwaukee to Buffalo, stop- ping at Escanaba snd Cleveland. The schoonrs Mary Lyons and Jenny Math- ews came out of Chicago together, towed by the same tug, and arrived here within an hour of each other, The Lyon has received’ exten - sive repairs since she was here last. The receipts and shipments for the past two days are very flattering for an off year. The grain coming in foots up a round 800,000 bush- els, and the flour 60,000 barrels and sacks. The coai shipments are 19 cargoes, aggrega- ting 27.000 tens, The list is remarkable in that it contains but two cargoes of less than 1,000 tons. Itis only within a year or two that coal cargoes from this port averaged 1,000 tons, Last week eight coal cargoes cleared here with 2,000 tons or more each, and on the previous week there were eleven, The June supplement of the Inland Lloyds Register wlll coutain a list of 80 new vessela, Cap‘ain Bates tried hard to get one more in order to make one for every day in May, but he did not suceced, though he failed by miss” ing the propeller Morley on her visit here a week ago. Captain Perew’s propeller, the A. P, Wright built by Quayle’s Sons’ Cleveland, due today, has a cargo of 151,000 bushels of oats. The propeller Iron Chief and consort Iron Cliff bring wheat from Duluth to Buffalo at 8 cents. The steambarge B. W. Arnold was libeled by the Western Transit line for $200 for re- lieving her when she was ashore on Lake Su- perior last season. The owners settled and the boat was released, The lumber shovers’ strike at TonawanJa is practically ended. Plenty of union men are The union movement proved a failure.
