Including the Toledo branch there are 133 steamers and 159 schooners on the hist, making a total of 292 boats.

Spear, who died at 10:30 a, m. on Tuesday morning. The funeral will be held from his late residence 22 Lyman avenue to- day at 3 p. m.

The Cleveland Dry Dock Co., have had the following vessels in dock since our last report: hooner Golden Fleece Captaim Wm. Propeller Kalkaska for bottom calking, tugs Americen Eagle, Neal H. Dowes and Jesse Enos. ‘The first of the Duluth-Superior ferry steamers is within three strakes of being all ceiled, her bottom planking is also on, and the keel for the second boat is laid; but the wet weather delays work somewhat at this yard the same as at all other shipyards. It is not often that we are called upon to chronicle the launch of two large steel steam- ers within foar days of each other at this pert, such however has been our fortunate ex perience during the past week, and we now announce to our readers that about 5,000 tons more freight can be taken care of at one time. The progress of western commerce seems to increase in proportion to the tonnage built and wider probabilities are yet in store, The large wooden propeller Majestic, Cap- tain Lawless, came out of the Ship Owners’ dry dock on Saturday night after receiving a new wheel. The Majestic looks as she is one of the largest carriers and best built wooden vessels on the lakes, 2,500 tons, or anything over 100,000 bushels of grain is said to be the usual jag which she likes to tote along. tain Lawless is more than pleased with his fine new command and speaks highly of her record up to date, The tug Tom Maytham, of the Vessel Owners’ Line, was sunk in the lake last. Sat— urday. The crew escaped by their own ac- | tivity, climbing from the sinking tug to the deck of the steamer Cumberland, under whose bow the Maytham sunk. The tug was taking a line from the steamer and got too close, the steamer striking her and turning her oyer. She is a fine boat and was valued at $7,000. She was insured against fire only and the loss will fall entirely on her owners. The Northern Wave came in from Buffalo Tuesday evening and after going up in the Cap- two tugs. While making the turn*at the mouth of the river bed the current, which was quite swift, forced her against the City of Detroit. ‘She struck the latter about amid- ships, smashing her bulwarks and stanchions. Captain MacLachlan could make no estimate of the damage Jast night. He was not dis- posed to blame either the tugs or Northern one and due entirely to the current.

All hands around the works will miss the genial manner and unfailing courtesy of their esteemed vice president; at the same time they joinin wishing him the greatest amount of enjoyment that it is possible to de- rive from his well earned vacation.

Starke, Captain Louis Sterling arrived here Friday with lumber from Manistee, her first trip to this port this season. She looks as good as new again, and her new commander is justly proud of her. Fritz Starke was here Monday making in- quires as to the reduction of tariff on towing rates at this port. He offered to sell three tugs to the Chicago Tuwing Company as there was next to nothing doing at Milwaukee. In- stead of purchasing, the company offered to sell him 13 tugs as business was none to good here. Henry B.

The passenger and’ freight steamer Acadia arrived here on the 14th from Montreal, her first visit to this port this season. The Chicago Times sayy: “The manager of the Merchants’ line of steamers, running between Chicago and Toronto and Montreal, are pre- paring plans for three new composite steam- ships to be piaced on the route as soon as completed. - These steamers will be built somewhat similar to the John Owen—that is, planked with wood below the water line and with steel above. They will have triple ex- pansion engines, and be lighted throughout by electricity. They will have full length passenger cabins, with a promenade the entire length of the ship on the hurricane deck, covered with an awning. This feature alone will greatly add to the pleasure of traveling on these ships. The steamers will be 180 feet long, which is the present limit of the St, Lawrence canals, but will probably be lengthened as soon as the improvements in the canals are completed. It is expected that in three years steamers 240 feet long will be able to go from the upper lakes to Montreal. At present the best steamer in the Merchants’ Hne-is the Acadia, commanded by Captain Al Malcolmson, of Hamilton. Captain Mal— colmson, although one of the youngest com— manders on the lake, is a good navigator. He will have command of one of the new steamers, The custom house officers go aboard these Canadian steamers and must remain all the time until the entire cargo is out, no matter if it takes forty-eight hours.. The true his— tory of smuggling into Chicago, Jiowever, is that it is all done by American vessels which come from Canadian ports or touch at Canadian ports on their way through the Welland canal.”’ Campbell & Cook, of Michigan City, have sold the steambarge Swallow to Innes & Dun- can and Captain Thomas Cowan; consideration $12,000, She will go into the lumber carry- ing business between Oscoda and Lake Erie ports, and will be commanded by Captain T.

Hurd, of Chicago, running on the “Soo” line be- tween Gladstone and this port, had a hard time on Georgian Bay last night. She left here at noon yesterday for Gladstone, and when sixty miles out in the vicinity of Cabot head her machinery broke down. A very heavy gale, accompanied by blinding snow, was raging at the time. The vessel was blown out into Lake Huron and matters lookec very bad for some time. After shard work, how- ever, the engine was repaired temporarily and she reached here at 8 o’clock this morning. The captain says the storm was one of the worst he has ever experienced. Her machin- ery is being repaired here, and the captain expects to leave for Gladstone Monday night. The Joseph L. Hurd is owned by the Lake Michigan and Lake Superior Line of Chicago.

Advices from Minorville Wis., of May 15th, and from Sturgeon Bay Wis., of the 16th, state that the steambarge City of Green Bay artived at Minorville minus one of her con- sorts, a large scow loaded with cedar ties. The tow came across the lake Monday night and when about twenty miles from here early Tuesday morning the scow broke adrift and soon got into the trough of a heavy sea and dumped her deck load and swamped. Oni man, a young negro, was on board, and it feared he was washed overboard and 1 as nothing can be heard o' The steamer Thomas H. geon Bay Monday night fo in tow a scow loaded with ice, the entire ioad being on Kewaunee the sea ca’ breaking out one side of th lowing the scow to dump its whole the Jake. ~ Mareen 2) The cargo of 10,000 cedar board from the City of Green of Chicago. It was owned by Smith & Hai of Raber, Mich. The cargo of ice lost from — the Thomas H. Smith’s barge was consigned to the G. H. Hammond Packing company at Hammond, up the Calumet river. The Chicago Times very truly says: “The barges are nothing more or less than flat scows, which are hardly safe inside a harbor, to say nothing of stormy weather on long routes along this turbulent lake. One life was lost with the Green Bay’s scow, but that don’t count. They hunted up the scow, but no search is made for the man’s body.” Edward Warner of the Dunham Towing and Wrecking company received a dispatch Sunday from Captain Bunje of the schooner went ashore Saturday night ina snow storm in Wisconsin Bay, near Death’s Door.
