The re- sult of the boat’s weight on the big stones shows in her decks and Captain Stone says he thinks her keelsons are broken. Two big pumps were put at work on the Bradley Saturday, but the water in her was lowered only three feet by their force.

She is 352 feet in length over all, 4144 feet breadth of beam, 25 feet molded depth and has a splendid appearance, She made the run from Buffalo, to Chicago in 68 hours, which is good work tor a new boat.

It was 10 o’clovk Thursday morning be- fore Hirbor master Irwin had fully relieved the jam of vessels in the South Branch caused by the grounding ot the Horace Tuitle at Halstead sireet bridge Tuesday morning. The previous night City Engi- neer Northway visited the scene of the trouble, and he and the commissioner talked it over in the morning. When commissioner Swift was asked later what, if anything, would be done to punish the captain of the Tuttle he said: ‘‘It has been done. The jam is relieved, That’s all there was to do, In two hours from the time we got notice of the jim the boat was pulled out. When the Tnttie pays the bills we’incurred for tugs he wil be punished enough, here is, as I see, no other practicable way of regulating the dratt of vessels. It we should attempt to do so directly we should require an in- spector on every boat loading at the elevator, besides those to look atter vessels coming in, All we can do is to get the Fouts off as soon as they go ay! ound, and I have issued orders that in all such cases hereafter the harbor- master shall at once employ enough tugs to release the ves-el. This must be done at once, and the harbor master must not wait around abourit, either. ‘Ihe vessel’s cap- tain will have pothtng to say in the matter. The tugs will be sent him, and he must give them lines or suffer the consequences. His duty. will be to pay the bills presented to him by the department for the tugs, ‘This is the only wav I see to sulve the overloading ques- tion. When vessels have once paid the penalty for loading deeper than the water in the river allows they will be slow to re- peat it.” Captain Sam Shannon came up the river Saturday afternoon with the bell-cord of the new. alee) steamship Chemung in hand. The steamer came into the outer barbor at 1:30 p.m. The tug C.. W. Gardner was passed steadying lines aud the massive hull began to work slowly up the river, She is an exact duplicate of the Owego in-con- struction, but for the arrangement of the houses and the. main deck. | She: measures 852 feet over all, 414 fect beam, and 26 feet deep. Including orlop and hurricane, the steamer has four decks. She is built en- tirely of steel, and is propelled by Quintard ne expanison engines. Shecame in with 1,500 tons of package freight, and goes light to Milwaukee for a return cargo. Frank J. Firth of Philadelphia, president, and KE. Y. Evans of Buffalo, western mana- ger, of the Anchor line, were in the city last week on business connected with the com- pany. They inspected the hoisting ma- chinery in the new Anchor line warehouse, and the several exhibitions of rapid work were given them. One hundred barrels of sugar were lifted to the fourth story on an endless chain elevator in less than seven minutes and as many sacks of coffee brought down in the same time. WILLIAMS, DETROIT, Special to the Marine Record. The barge ‘'101’’ passed down Saturday evening, and taking a sheer went aground ou Bois Blanc island, but was released after three or four hours, Captain George McLeod, Buffalo marine inspector, and Captain William Dana, of Algonac, were in the city Tuesday.

The Cleveland tuy Forest City stopped here on her way up and after taking Mr. Quinn, our diver, aboard passed along to the limekilns to work on the release of the &chooner Alva Bradley, which went on last Thursday vight. Tue Bradley is in bad shape. She is in 19 feet of water and has a cargo of 1,304 tons of soft ore in her. Her bottom is very badly damaged and it is the opinion of those who have been and exam- ined her that it will be quite a job to effect her release. Thetvg M. D. Carrington, Captain A. Ruelle owner, has gone up to work on the steamer California, sunk Jast fall at St. He- lena, Tuesday Captain Ruelle received word from the master of the Carrington stating that they are getting along very sat- istactorily with the work.

Cuptain Geo. McLeod, marine inspector, wvas in the city Monday. The stea ner Greyhound, running to Grimsby park, was detained in port frowa Thursday even- jng until Saturday witha broken rudder, The rudder was first noticed last Monday, when so nething was found to be wrong with her steer- jug appartus while on the way tothe park. On her arrival there the rudder was examined and one ot the iron sheets found to be bent from, presumably, striking some object. The Grey- hound was then laid up fur a day and the dam- age repaired, but on entering the harbor on Thursday afternoon about 5 o’clock, the rudder was discovered to be gone jaltogether, the stock having broken into three pieces.

Items are scarce and [ attribute it to the fact that Sunday work has ceased on our docks, The docks present on the Sabbath duy a quiet, homelike appearance; as our good old English vaptain remarked, “It makes we think of home to see no work in an American port on Sunday.’? May the time come, and speedily when all lake ports like Ashtabula, shall have more regard for the Lord’s day. James Elliot,a sailor on the schooner Erastus Corning, dropped dead last week from heart disease. His home was Chicago, and he leaves a wife and small family. The steamer Algonquin called here for fuel. She is an iron steamer built at Yon- kers, Scotland, six miles below Glasgow, and as a carrier she looks complete.
