Sault Ste. Marie, Oct. 6. -- The steamer REPUBLIC, bound down, ore laden, owned by W. D. Rees of Cleveland, and the NORMAN of the menominee Transit Company, up-bound, light, came into collision at 8:30 this morning at the turn of Lake Geoarg Flats, near where the SUSAN E. PECK sunk last season. They struck stem on, on the starboard side. The NORMAN is cut down to the water's edge, 10 feet back from the stem. She turned back for Cleveland with the tug BROCKWAY following her. The REPUBLIC was crushed 20 feet back from the stem to her bridge, but proceeded on her trip.
