SB; - THE pHAKMEB DISASTER—THE NELLIE TOIUtENT. The sunken tug Charmer is owned by the engineer, John Tunnison, who jjnaintains that he and Captain Johnson were tlie only persons onboard who got wet. They stuck to their posts until the last moment, and it was .through then-efforts that there was no sacrifice of life. This is corroborated by the passengers, who praise the officers in the highest terms. Thanks and deep gratitutc are also expressed toward the officers of the Meteor and Cupid, which craft went to the rescue. Mr. Tunnison hopes to be able to recover . Use Charmer, and will commence operations at insured in the Chicago Cargo Pool THE POOL bUPFEK. This is the first big, loss the Pool has sustained ' his season. The insurance rate to Buffalo is only ; 0 cents, and this loss will be heavily felt on the mall marein of profits for the entire season thus ir. LEVIATHAN TO THE RESCUE. Peter Wex, the owner, has abandoned the steamer to the underwriters, and the latter have ordered the wrecking tug Leviathan to go to her Jfrom Milwaukee. Some of the cargo will doubt- ¦; |less be pumped overboard, but as much as possible will be saved so as to help the general average ¦ on the hull—so as to secure a larger contribution. > liven wet, this rye can be sold for distilling purposes at some price. But, if Mr. Wex's dispatches are correct, vessel and cargo are total losses—the hull is so badly damaged that she cannot be recovered at all. Special Telegram to The Inter Ocean. Milwaukee, Wis., Aug. 14.—The wrecking tug Leviathan left here this afternoon to attempt the release of the propeller Potomac, on the beach, at Ahnapee. Yesterday afternoon the Potomac Btruck a rock two miles north of Ahnapee and knocked a large hole in her bottom, and her master beached her. She is valued at $4,000 and insured for $8,500, in Crosby &, Dimick1? agencies, at Buffalo. Her owner, Peter Wex, hag abandoned her to the underwriters, and it is probable that she will prove a total loss together with her cargo of 38,000 bushels of rye. Hen cargo is valued j at $2,600, and insured in agencies not in I the pool at Chicago. She has twelve feet of 1 water in her hold, so that her cargo is already | damaged. ^^—^y^^- InflitftfTos for the Sclioonor Mary E.

FLOTSAM AKJD JETSAM. It seems natural to see the Commercial Line propeller Cuba in the harbor once more.

There is a fleet at the lumber market. The nor'easter was quite stiff on the lake Sunday night. Storms usually come Saturday night or some time Sunday. The John B.

A "GREAT HULLABALOO" AT CLARK STREET. Last evening Clark street bridge was kept open from 7:20 to 8 o'clock, in order to allow a fleet of about fourteen vessels to p ass out to the lake Fully 500 impatient pedestrians were detained at the bridge, as well as over 1,000 equally impatient persons who were seated in the score or more of street cars, which formed a solid block-' ado as far north as Indiana street. Many of these folk were in haste to get to the theater, others wanted to catch their trains, some had made1 business appointments which they would be unable to meet, and, while everyone showed their annoyance, some raved and swore at the bridge-tender, and the boats, ahd^city authorities who allowed such things to occur. Some declared the bridge could have been easily closed in one or two instances, as occasionally the tows were as far apart as Wells street bridge was distant. The bridge-tender declared that he could shut the bridge no sooner without danger of collision with one of the fleet. DISASTERS OUTSIDE. PROPELLER POTOMAC, "WITH A GRAIN CARGO. Tlie underwriters were startled not a little yesterday by having dispatches placed in their hands announcing that the propeller Potomac, laden with rye from Chicago to Buffalo, is ashore and full ot water near Ahnapee, Wis., on this shore of Lake Michigan, toward the foot of the lake. The master and owner, Peter Wex, in his dispatch Bays the Potomac struck some obstruction some distance off Ahnapee, and he had to run her on ¦ch to prevent her going down in deep water. She is full of water—is sunk decks to— and her cargo, 38,000 bushels of rye, is all wet. The following dispatch was received last night: THE ALLEGHANrS EXPERIENCE. '] WHAT THE MASTER SAYS OF IT. The tug Alpha returned to Chicago empty- ! handed. The following concerning the Alleghany is from the Milwaukee Sentinel of Wednesday morning: "This telegram signed 'Racine Lifeboat Station,' was received by the Milwaukee Tug Boat Company yesterday morning: 'Send tug immediately for a schooner disabled southeast of Racine harbor seven miles in the lake.' The tug Welcome left at 10:30 o'clock and returned last night with the barge Alleghany in a badly dismantled condition. Captain Wilson, of the Alleghany, reports that during a southeaster about 1 o'clock Sunday afternoon, when bound down in tow of the propeller Conemaugh and when southwest of Grand Haven, a splice in the Aihitthany'a toW'Uue came gut and.-aha was cast [adrift. Soon afterward it was discovered that her center board-chain had parted so that her cen-Iterboard could not be raised, and a signal of distress was hoisted. The Conentaugh was unable jto pick her up aeain on account of the heavy sea, (but the master of the Conemaugh hailed Captain | Wilson that he would piek him up when the sea went down. During the afternoon the vessels became separated, and the Conemaugh was not seen aeain. About 10 o'clock Sunday the foremast of the Alleghany broke off "several feot below the crosstrees, and fell with a crash on the deck, but fortunately no one was injured. The foresail was torn to pieces and the mizzensail split. Soon after the foremast fell, her steering {rear gave out, h and for some time the vessel was unmanageable. i\ The night was a nasty one, the wind blowing a ,*' gale from the north, and it was nearly as cold as winter, with a heavy sea running. Luckily, there was an extra iron tiller on hand, and with the aid of a tackle a steering gear was rigged. All Sunday night and Monday she was beating about with only her mainsail set. Mondav afternoon, when in mid-lake, her signal of distress was sighted by Captain Smallman, ot Ithe steamer City of Milwaukee, bound from this port to Grand ilaven, and he went to her assistance and got a line from her. After towing her about ten minutes the line parted, and the Mil-¦ waukeo continued on her course. During Mon-€felay night she got up the laike to off Kenosha, and "ijyesterday morning drifte<d down the lake to off ijnoino until ividked ud bv the Welcome at 1 Racine, until picked up by the Welcome o'clock yesterday afternoion. Her crew were nearly all worn out, but th<e vessel weathered the storm well, and, it is tlnought, has not wet a bushel of her cargo. She wvill not make repairs .here, but will leave to-diay, after repairing her 'steering gear, for Erie in tow of the propeller .Philadelphia. ^^^^™ ^^^^™ ¦•} th A
