The Andy Johnson was at St. Joseph yesterday. The submarine diver who has been removing loose rock from the bottom of the cut at the Limekilns has completed his work, and states that a channel has now l.been secured 150 feet wide for the entire length, in which there is now twenty-five feet of water. The lightships which have been maintained there while the work was in progress will be reimoved. The completed part is only half the width of the channel originally intended. The work is now stopped for the want of an appropriation. The Gerrit Smitii arrived at Green Bay City on Monday with a cargo of railroad ties. The Escanaba and Thomas L. Parker return to Escanaba for another cargo of'ironoreto Cleveland. The steambarge James Davidson lies in an ugly position at Eighteenth street bridge, pretty well blockading the channel. And there is a busy elevator right opposite. James Scott, of Wanbanshene, Can., a well-known grain and provision dealer, was in the city yesterday. A lot of barreled pork, which goes to Collingwood on the schooner E. R. Blake, is consigned to Mr. Scott. A partial loss on a cargo of railroad ties on *the schooner Island City was paid yesterday.

Big that "serious charges had been preferred against one of the large steamships in the coal and grain trade," and that when it came out, if it ever did, it would make "quite a stir." The reporter traced the matter up, and found it to be like this: Several trips ago the steamship Harry E. Packer, of the Lehigh Valley Line, brought a cargo of coal to Chicago, consigned to Pratt, Parker & Co., the well-known coal dealers. When the cargo was all weighed out it proved to be a number of tons short of the quantity the bill of lading called for. As the story goes, the officers of the steamship maintained that all the coal put on board had been delivered, and that the shippers must have made a mistake when weighiug the cargo on, something that very often occurs. This was not a satisfactory explanation to Pratt, Parker & Co., more espe cially unsatisfactory because the shippers insisted that the steamship got all the coal the bill of lading claimed, and beoauae they (the shippers) refused to make good the difference. THE EX-FIREMAN'S' STATEMENT. Yesterday a man who served on the Packer as! a fireman (and is now serving on a tug in Chi-; eago) made a statement to Pratt, Parker Cleveland Steam Navigation Company, and runs in connection with the Cleveland Line steamers City of Detroit and Northwest for Cleveland and Eastern points, and the Detroit, Mackinac and Marquette Railroad for the Lake Superior region. Thursday evening a short trial trip was made to test her engine in the presence of a number of experts and practical steamboat men. The run extended about eight miles up to Gross Point, where the President of the line, James McMillan, and a number of the principal stockholders have their aunrflteS residence. The ne^w steamer was saluted with cannon from the shore and also by a number of passing steamers. The trip was highly successful, and both owners and builders were the subjects of sincere congratulations. DESCRIPTION.

The inspectors were highly pleased with Captain Chestnut, who is not only a or, but a marine engineer besides As iho inspectors put it, he "knows how to run both Jends of the boat." The Canadian propeller Alma Munro gets no certificate to carry passengers. She is not equipped for the passenger traffic. In the freight business,, however, she Is all right. LITE-SAVING STATIONS.

The Myosotis came in light from Racine, loaded grain, and left again. The Fremont arrived from Lake Superior. It is understood that a number of the tug owners were summoned yesterday to appear m court and answer to the charge of making smoke in the harbor. No owner would acknowledge, however, that he had been summoned. Commissioner De Wolf said last evening that he did not know whether any new cases had been made against the tugs or not. The propellers Scotia and Russia, of the Commercial Line, arrived yesterday, and the Colorado will be along within a day or two. Captain Burnham, of Green Bay, will have command of the tug Gregory, which goes to Manitowoc in a few days, and the present crew of the Gregory will be transferred to the Spear. SAPETY AT SEA. A GREAT INVENTION FOR LEAKS. An exhibition of a new and novel invention, the ship suction-valve, took place yesterday in Newark Bay beforo a number of ship-¦). The purpose of the valve is to draw off water from a leaking vessel by means of a vacuum caused by the motion of the vessel. The device is a simple one, consisting of a semi-circular valve which when closed is flush with the bottom of the vessel. Should the vessel spring aleak from collision or other causes the valve can be lowered in seven seconds, and the water rushing by and striking this valve is cut, causing a vacuum through which water in the hold naturally runs out. The faster the motion of the vessel the better the valve does its work. The contrivance is of course useless when the vessel Is at a standstill. It is roughly estimated that the invention will draw oil from 350 to 400 gallons a minute. A saxty appliance is attached to the valve, which can be lowered in case the latter bvanv accident becomes out of order, and thus cut off the rush of water through the vacuum. The experiment was tried yesterday on an old barge, and resulted satisfactorily. Mr. Thomas Keating, President of the company, at No. 80 Duaue street, has models of the invention, which have been examined and declared practicable by many of the most competent engineers in the country. The valve has been patented in the United States, Eng-mce. Germany, and Canada.—J\ew lorK World, Aug. 10. the effect that the engineer of the Packer, on the trip in question, 'broached cargo" and used coal TTNDEK A MORTGAGE. Milwaukee, Wis., Aug. j.6.—The schooner Zach ('handler, of Cleveland, will probably bo seized to-morrow to force payment of $9,000, i Moore, of Chicago, on a mortgage given by Captain Johnson in 189 :. FLOTSAM AND JETSAM. The tug Black Ball is in dry clock to put on a new Philadelphia wheel. The propeller Colorado, of the Commercial Line, arrived yesterday. New master recorded: Mtchael Botzler schooner Planet, vice A. M. Elliott. The schooner R. C. Crawford goes into drydock at the Chicago Company's to stop a leak. The propeller Annie Young, of the Anchor Line, is among the arrivals. This is herfirst trip this season. President Powers, of Chicago, addressed the brotherhood of telegraph operators at Cleveland on Tuesday. 3 alleges. WHY IT MIGHT BE SO. As a reason why the engineer would broad cargo, he says "there is great competition in th Lehigh Valley Line as to whicb engineer can ge along with the least fuel," and that "the enginee of the Packer, by stealing from the cargo, can course make a better showing than the other em giiicers." The story is given for just what it may turn to be worth, and would not be given at all hai not the ex-tireman made oath to it. Even now iu might not be true. Indeed, public opinion must, be suspended until the matter is fully invest!-1 gated. If all that is alleged should prove to be fact, there can be no reflection on the managers and owners of the line, because the engineer, if guilty, of course, pursued the coarse he did without their knowledge. To be successful in making a good record as an economical engineer, he would have to keep his thefts from the cargo a profound secret. • THE OTHER OFFIO EBS. Even the captain and mates of the steamship could be kept in ignorance of fchefcheftsif there js communication with the car«o-hold from the f urnance-room. But if a bulkhead of the steamship has been cut for the special purpose of stealing cargo, the officers must be cognizant of all the facts, if facts they are. WHY THE STORT IS TOLD. The reporter inquired as to what prompted this ex-fireman to make the "exposure," as ho calls it, and the answer was that the engineer did not treat him right, and that wages are still due him which the engineer refuses to pay or order to be paid. There has been trouble between the engineer and this man, and it looks as if the latter, in his rage, is attempting to "get even" by telling Pratt, Parker & Co. the story he has, INVESTIGATION. Now that the allegations are made public the whole matter will, no doubt., be fully aud rigorously investigated. It is certain that the Lehigh Valley Lino want no thieves among their trusted employes. The schooner Zach Chandler, of Cleveland, discharging a cargo of coal at this port, will in all probability remain here for some time in the J hands of the law. In tlie winter of 1881 Captain Johnson purshased the Chandler of Captain Sam Moore, Of Chicago, and made a part payment ou the vessel and gave a mortgage for the remainder, something over $9,000'. The mortgage has since been accruing interest. Captain Moore has made efforts to procure a settlement, and yesterday Mr. Condon, the well-known marine lawyer of Chicago, attorney for Captain Moore, arrived here to tie un the vessel, which in all probability will be done to-day, unless a settlement is made this morning.—Milwaukee Sentinel, Friday. Since Tuesday the movements of the union sailors on the dock at Cleveland have been very quiet. No further attempts at pulling off nonunion crews and persuading them to join have been made, and the vessels already given as hav-ins been visited have now all gone to sea except the schooner Exile, which will probably get away to-day. Captain Malot and his ship, the C. G. Benedict, were in this port yesterday, and reports considerable warfare between union and nonunion sailors at Buffalo. One sailor on his ship was visited while he was asleep, and one side of his face badly kicked and bruised up. The schooner Emery, he says, also suffered a simitar experience to one of the sailors, while in Buffalo. The Benedict left this port at about 0:30 o'clock last evening.—Glev eland Leader. auxiliary boiler for pumps and hoisting engine.
