Her props are moved several inchi out Gf place, and although she doesn't leak ram at present it is evident she is badly damaged She is insured for about $18,000, and owned bj J. C. Gilchrist, of Vermillion. The Sunnysidi Was insured in three companies for $15,000, and owned by Robert Kerr, her master. At the Time of'lie collision it was blowing hard from the southwest, pitch dark and raining. All three vessels carried i-omu lieadsai]. This caused the Sunnyside to shoot ahead of the Foster, for the three schooners had broken adrift from the Barnum and struck ¦ the Foster o-i the starboard amidship. The Foster's crew leaped on the Sunnyside, but 'jumped back on-discovering they were on the sinking vessel, and the crew or. the Sunnyside took to their boats and pulled away to the Dewey about half a mile away. The captain's wife escaped in her night clothes and had a rough experience, as she is in poor health and was nearly exhausted when the Dewey was reached. The Sunnyside went down bow first, and her stern was blown to pieces in going down by the air which made a loud report. The chart showf over sixty fathoms of water in that vicinity. The steambarge Barnum passed down last, niicht. wi&ktb.e THE FIGKUHES. t WELLAND CANAL.

Yesterday Wolf .t Davidson received a d from Captain Kirtland stating that the Leviathan had got the Potomac into the harbor, and that she was leaking badly,but temporary repairs were being made, and they expected to leave with her by night. On her arrival at this port the Potomac will be docked at Wolf & Davidson's main yard for repairs. It is probable that she is considerably damaged, as she had a large hole knocked In her bottom when she first struck, and afterward lay on a rocky beach for several days. There is likely to be an "insurance contest" between the underwriters and owner of the wreck. "When the vessel was beached the owner abandoned tier to the Underwriters, who) sent out the expedition which ha3 rescued her. The 1 aderwriters, after repairing her, will at-o place her back in the hands of her owner, which tthe latter will in all probability object to, jand em leaver to collect his insurance.-**Milwau- [k(!^J^.itj^.Iii JSngfiflr^f" ""......" -¦;¦ Gawii, Kate Winslow, Teutonla, . and Irene were reported by the revenue erry for not showing their papers when boarded by an officer.

He was seen coasting around at Bailey's Harbor by a fisherman who was out angling bright and early in the morning. The man commenced stoning the intruder upon his piscatorial pastime, when the serpent raised its head several feet above the water and made for his assailant, who made for the house on "the double-quick. The man says that I the snake was thirty feet long and two feet in diameter, although he did not stop to measure it. His snakeship was probably a summer resortor in that neighborhood. The fisherman also states that he had drank nothing stronger than coffee that morning, and that he had never been afflicted j with myopia or presbyopia. But then it was after 4 o'clock, and not a very propitious morning for snakes either. THE HARBOR 0)N FIRE. STRANGE SPECTACLE IN THTE SOUTH BRANCH. A strange spectacle was* witnessed in the South Branch of the river yeisterday afternoon. From Thirty-fifth to Thirty-eighth street the 11 water" is not water at all, but is a thick liquid of filth and grease, imade so by refuse] from the packing-houses, 6laughter-houses,|; etc. A tug came dashing" along, going f asf so that her crew would not; inhale the stenc^f any longer than necessarr, when suddenly the river took fire and bilazed up, and th< flames swept along at a fearful rate. Thi schooner A. J. Covell was lying a dock near Thirty-seventh street and' the captain and erew amd the gang of lumber-shovers at work on her all deserted the vessel and ran away for dear life. The tug also quickly turned amd ran down the river wide open. The rivesr in this neighborhood has often ignited before, but it never assumed the proportions of an oil-region conflagration as it did yesterdaj'. The flames continued to rage for fifteen minutes and then suddenly died out. Strange to say, the Covell was not damaged, although the liquid filth on her hull burned brightly for several minutes. The captain was thoroughly alarmed and telephoned down town for several tugs, but when they arrived the immediate danger was all oven*—the flames had disappeared. It seems that the friction caused by tugs' and steamers' wheels ignites the filth. The attention of the csity authorities is called to the dangerous condition of things in the South Branch.

THE "WRECKED PEOPEL2LER POTOMAC. The wrecked propeller P>otomac was placed in drydock at Wolf & Daviidson's main yard, Milwaukee, yesterday, amd the work of repairing- her will be pushetd forward with all possible rapidity. During: the afternoon Captain Tuttle and HumpJirey began holding the survey, but it will not be completed before the end of the week, .as a portion of her 2 cargo remains in her hoM, but the work of removing- it will be commtenced this morning-. The portion of her cargo remaining- in her is estimated at 10,000 buelnels, which was yesterday sold to a maltster for $325. A staging has been erected from the vessel onto the dock, and the rye Will be hauled away to a malt-house in wagons. About $950 was realized from the sale of (the entire cargo of 38,000 bushels of rye. An examination of the wreck after being placed in dock showed that she was considerably damaged, but not so badly as expected. Her starbbard side is the most seriously damaged, 'there being a large hole forward where she struck. She will require an entire new ketel, new garboard streaks, ten pieces of new plank on her starboard side, and two new pieces on her port side. The exact amount o E the damage is ESTIMATED AT $50,000, although it may exceed tmat amount, as the complete damage cannot be ascertained until her cargo is taken out. Before being placed in the dock she was considerably hogged aft, and some of her frames are broken and will have to be replaced by new ones, but the number cannot be ascertained until the cargo is removed, Captain "Wex., owner and master of the Potomac, yesterday entered a protest, in which he states that when half way between Ahnapee and Two Itivers, on the morning of the 14th, the vessel was at least two miles and a half off-shore and heading* north-northeast, and her course was afterward changed to northeast by north, which course was refrained until she struck some unknown obstruction north of Ahnapee on the afternoon of the 14th inst. The tow-line of the barge Annie Vought, which she had in tow, was let go, and the Vought passed the Potomac a half mile inside where she struck. After a consultation with j the crew, Capthln Wex d&eided to beach the vessel, which he did one and a half miles ¦ north of Ahnapee. After the vessel struck the obstruction she commenced to till, and had her boilers been in the hold her fires would have been extinguished and the vessel would have gone to the Ibottom. or had the obstruction protruded through her ceiling she would in ail probability have gone to the bottom before she could b«e beached. Heretofore it was NOT GENEKALLT KNOWN that the Potomac had the barge Annie Vought, owned by Captann Wex, in tow for Escanaba, while the Pottomac was gram laden for Buffalo. It leaked out yesterday that the underwriter wno held the risk en the cargo and lost $27,0*90 intend holding the vessel responsible, on the ground that she was chartered at Chicago to deliver her cargo of rye at Buffalo, tout when she met with disaster she was not on the Buffalo course. Captain Smith, agent for the underwriters, who had been looking after the damaged cargo, was Been yesterday and questioned. He stated that it was true that I the underwriters were ttuinking of holding the vessel responsible, an(il were now investigating the case.—Milwauikee Sentinel^ Thursday. —*- HEROISM EEWARDED.
