The schr. Alexander, formerly owned by Capt. Malone, has been creating a sensation in Chicago. She broke from her moorings and floated about, to the danger of other crafts. The Harbor Master has sent her to the graveyard. It is doubtful if the Alexander will ever be put into actual service again. She has had her day, having at one time been considered the largest, fastest and best vessel afloat. She was built at Port Dalhousie in 1857.

Yesterday the steambarge Tecumseh, which brought timber to Collinsby, came here for repairs to her engine. While passing the steamer Rothesay, on the ways, the steambarge struck that vessel's rail, doing considerable damage. On the first mate of the steambarge being spoken to this morning about the accident to his boat he said: "On Thursday we came down the lake, towing the barges Cavalier and Cameron, laden with square timber. Opposite Thirty Mile Point I was awakened by a noise, and on asking the night watch what had happened, he replied that he could not tell. On examination we found that the cylinder had been blown out of the engine. To wood up with pine and let go our barges was the best plan I could see, which we did. We arrived here yesterday. The barges are at Collinsby unloading lumber." The Tecumseh will be repaired at Davis' dock.

Personal Mention - Capt. T. Donnelly to Montreal for Dominion Wrecking & Salvage Co. meeting.

Here & There - The Rothesay, being repaired at Powers' yard, is expected to be afloat by June 16th.
