The schooner White Star, coal laden, ar- rived at this port Saturday, leaking badly, in tow of the wrecking tug Leviathan. ‘The schooner was unloaded as quickly as possi- ble and proceeded to one of the Chicago Drydock Company’s docks, where the leak was stopped. A dispatch frey Captain Trinter states that the Onoko made the run from Chicago to Buffulo in three days and fifteen hours, This is the bert time ever made by that mon- ster, and, considering that she is the largest craft on the lakes, it must be considered ag one of the most remarkable achievements in the line of quick trips on record. Shortly after noon on October 25th she. finished un- loading her cargo of coal at Richardson’s dock in the North Branch. At 2 p.m. she was at Armour & Dole’s elevator B, where she took on 70,000 bushels ot corn, and then went to elevator A, to finish loading.

Freight rates on wheat rule at 6c., con- sidered a good rate. ‘The tug Silver Spray, of Port Arthur has been fiitted with a new pilot house at the shipyard here. . ‘The local inspectors still find some work. The steamers [ron Duke and W. P. Graves were yesterday chartered for wheat to Buf. falo at 6¢ cents. They will arriye light, the Duke ‘towing David Dows and the Graves | towing the G. W. Adams back to Detroit, where these schooners will be laid up. The Lake Superior News says a number of vessels have cleared this week drawing 15 feet 3 and 4 inches aft. In fact there has been no time this season when vessels could not have loaded to 15 feet 8 inches, ur even” 16 feet, in our harbor if 2 reasonable amount of cure had been taken in getting out. But this would have done no good, as there is | but 16 feet 6 inches of water in the Sault ca- nal. Vessels can load to 16 feet in Chicago, but the trouble there is the same as here, the Lime Kiln crossing in the Detroit river only allows passage fora draft of 15 feet 6 inches. So that Duluth is as well off in depth of water as Chicago. To sift the mat- ter down, the Sault canal and the Lime Kiln crossing are the keys to through lake navi- gation from all ports on Lakes Huron, Mich- igan and Superior, and the sooner the peo- ple understand that large Nand continuous appropilations must be made for these the better. PORT COLBORNE, A telegram received here on the 3d by Messrs. Chase Bros, states that the schooner Jura, wheat-luden, went ashore near New Glasgow.

Burrows, of the steamer St. Magnus, dropped dead while his boat waa lying at the dock in the Sault Ste. Marie river, Wednesday night. Heart disease is supposed to have been: the cause. , His re- mains were taken on the Campana to his home at Hamilton, Ont. . BUFFALO, Last Saturday Captain John Conners, mas- ter of the schooner Richard Winslow, was arrested and taken betore United States Commissioner’ Strong. on the charge of assaulting the couk on Lake Superior. Ac- cording to the testimony of the crew. there seems to be no foundation for the grave charges. The United States law makes the penalty for this crime on the high sea death, and no bail can be received. Captain Con- ner was taken to Utica in charge of a United States Marshal to lay before Judge Cone the evidence submitted before Commisioner Strong, who held him for trial. The object of this visit is to endeavor to make some ar- arrangement for evading the strict letter of the law so that the accused can be re- leased. This is said to be the first case of the kind ever tried in the United States courts, Captain William Randall, formerly mas- ter of the schooner Selkirk, will commar.d the Richard Winslow. ‘The: steatyer PV ocoken% Wu Wheat was run into Richmond elevator, where it will be dried. I'he Wocoken and coneort Rich- ard Winslow will load coal at Cleveland for Duluth. It had been intended to dock the Wocoken here, but she will go into the dock at Cleveland instead. “Whe schooner Louisa, of Port Rowan has arrived with a lot of wreckage from the schooner King Sisters, which went on Mo- hawk reef on October 19th, and became a total loss. The lot included two anchors, chains, two pumps, yawl, canvas, ropes, ete.; in all worth about $300. This wreck- age was secured at the instance of the Con- tinental Insurance Company, who have the risk on the hull. The Saveland met witha mishap on ‘Tues- day night. Just when the wind was most violent she was being towed in by the tugs Bryant and Compound, the latter having the stern line, when she fetched up ona pile just off the pier light. ‘he Compound crashed into the vessel’s stern, doing con- siderable damage, but luckily above the wa- ter line. ‘The tugs sustained no material in- jury. The Bryant wae glewed around by the current and ran into the Saveland’s bow. ‘The tug’s stern was smashed and her house grazed somewhat. The Alpha afterward helped the Compound to release the sehoon- er, which required about three hours’ pull- ing. Judge Coxe has decided that Captain Con- ner’s case was bailable and fixed the amount at $10,000. Marshal Level returned to Buf- falo last evening. Until it is known wheth- er bail can be obtained the accused will re- main in his custody. The Wocoken and Winslow will not wait for Captain Connor, Captain Randall, second mate of the Woco- ken, will take command of the Winslow. ‘Those who know Captain Connor speak cf him as an excellent gentleman and are cer- tain of his innocence. He lives in Canada. ALPENA, The tug Moore with the wrecked schooner Miliard Fillmore are in port. They have two steam pumps aboard and ean keep her afloat.
