George Norris, fireman on the City of Cleveland, fell imto the crank pit shaft and had his throat and neck severely cut. The ambulance was called and he was taken to the ‘Lake View hospital, where he is receiving the best of care. He will doubtless recover in afew weeks. The thanks of this office are due to Messrs. Peter Wright & Sons, generalagents of the Red Star line of steamships, New York, for a pareel of new and prettily designed blotting pads. The Red Star line. of passenger steamers sail between Antwerp and New York, and Antwerp and Philadelphia. The several agencies are situated in Chicago, Ill, Milwaukee, Wis., and Philadelphia, Pa., with the general office at 6 Bowling Green, New York. ; Cleveland coal shippers are emphatic in de- claring that they could secure tonnage’ wath- out trouble for blocks of 50,000 tons of coal for the head of Lake Superior at 45 cents to October Ist, or 50 cents for the whole season. But the impression prevails among owners that the shippers are somewhat exuberant re- garding low freights. It will soon be discoy- ered that{these things cannot be.

The Scotch type boiler recently placed on board the J. W. Westcott has been tested for 140 pounds of steam and found perfectly satisfactory. A large oil tank for storage purposes has just been completed for the Michigan, bolt and’ nut works, and will be delivered to them this week, A large staff of workmen are kept as busy as possible working on former orders.

Her windlass and capstans, manufactured by the American ship windlass company, of Providence, R. I, were found to work perfectly; also the steam steer— ing gear placed on board by Williamson Bros., Philadelphia, Pa., and the electric light plant furnished by Messrs. Parrish Bros. & Peck, with their elaborate bronzed fittings, etc., were all found in perfect order, The joiner work and the upholstery will be completed in about two weeks; in the meantime the details of the several departments will be attended to, and it is expected that she will be ready for her trial trip May 1.

The manager of the line says it would be useless starting out again until the ice loosens and drifts out of the river. The new propeller George W. Roby of De- troit, just built in West Bay City, and owned by G. W. Raby of Detroit and Lewis Waldo of Ludington, is 281 feet length keel, 41 4-10 beam, 20 feet depth of hold, of 1,843,23 gross, 1,470,30 net tons, and cost $125,000.

The ice continues run- ning into the St. Clair river, and the situation has assumed ‘a decidedly serious aspect, There is a complete jam extending from the flats nearly to:Marine City. Nothing can get through until a change takes place. The City of Alpena, from §t. Ignace, is in the ice, abreast of Algonac. The prospects’ for her getting down are very uncertain. The Detroit Seamen’s assembly has made wages $1 40 on schooners and $1.25 on barges. The Ira H.
