      The heavy fire damage recently sustained at Chicago by the steamer HORACE A. TUTTLE is to be repaired here. [Manitowoc] To place the hull in good shape will require an expenditure of $15,000. The Tuttle was towed here on Sunday last. The steamer ARIZONA is repairing damage sustained through stranding on Presque. Isle, Lake Huron, late in November. She is to be followed by the tow barge PLYMOUTH which also suffered damage on Presque Isle.
