They do not anticipate any opposition from the different lines, and think that it will be cheerfully given. The white and colored laborers are determined, and mean to work In the future hand in hand, which thev never did before. The Anchor line is stiil holding out against the grain trimmers, at a loss to themselves and a profit to a few inexperienced laborers, most of whom are colored.

ROBBING- WRECKS. AND PLUNDERING THE DEAD. Soon after the wreck of the schooner Folger last fall the statement was made that the bodies of the dead, as well as the wreck, had been robbed by the land sharks living in the vicinity of South Bay. An investigation was ordered by the Dominion Government, but nothing came of it. The Kingston Neios says: "A few days ago Jack O'Shca was at Picton selling 2,700 bushels of damaged wheat, a portion of the cargo of the barge Montreal, when he came across a young man from Oswego, who had purchased tlie anchors, bell, etc., of the Folgcr from Captain Dennis, the owner. The young man on the 4th went to yet the articles he had purchased and found some of them missing, among them being the bell. As the latter was valuable, he set about finding it. After a great deal of trouble the bell was found in a farmer's barn ten miles back in the country. He was seared when askod JIM! JNESBITT, THE SQ/UATTEK. ASEKIOUS CHARGE.

A dispatch from George Kirkham, Secretary of the V. O. T. Company, tiled at Milwaukee at 3:15 p. m., said: "The tug Perrett and her barges have just passed here (Milwaukee) for Chicago; also a big fleet o Wind north, fresh." TMe Perrett. has five barges—the Menekaunee, Stephenson, Carney (new), Perew, and Corry. She finally had to let go of them later, aud they were looked for here, under sail, at about 4 o'clock this morning. All are lumber loaded. Among the large class of sail vessels arriving during the day and last night were the rs John Kelderhouse, Margaret A. Muir, Camden, Sunrise, M. E. Tremble, Donaldson, City of Chicago, Mediator, Colonel Ellsworth, Skylark, and Lucy J. Clark. The steam arrivals from below were the Idaho, Alaska, Annie Young, I Mercur. [See Port List.] The sea last night was very heavy, indicating that the storm was general and had the full the MOSHER'S peril. The tug Moaner, Captain Jimmy Sinclair, had a most narrow escape. She was outside and several miles off the piers. At about 9 o'clock a Sremendous sea boarded her, and her crew thought for a little while that their time had come. The fireman, Ted Fanning, was washed out of the engine-room and out into the waves. A plank and several life-preservers were thrown rd (in the hope that he might save iiim-i i Captain Sinclair then busied himself Bavnig the tug and the remainder of the crew.

Two or three captains have quietly left vessels this summer without any cause being assigned therefor. A "misunderstanding" was usually assigned as the cause. It has leaked out that this '"misunderstanding" consisted in a reduction of salary, which the captains refused to accept.—Cleveland Herald, ORANGE BLOSSOMS. MARRIAGE OP CAPTAIN ISBISTEK. Captain John Isbister and Miss Jeanette Mo-Cloud were united in marriage in this city on Monday evening. The wedding took place at the residence of the bride's aunt, Mrs. Sinclair. No. 325 West Lake street. Miss Mary Wchlon b ¦ as bridemaid and Captain John F. Higgie, of the schooner John Miner, was "best man." The Rev. Mr. Sawyer, of the Scotch Presbyterian Church, performed the ceremony. Fifteen or twenty couples were in attendance and a genuine good Scotch time was had. There was an elegant supper and the best of Scotch toddy, and music and dancing: and so on. There were Scotch songs and Scotch reels, and the bagplDes sang out gloriously, manipulated by that prince of Scotch musicians, Neal McPhale. The grand old pipes never spoke plainer of the joyful event just consummated and"the happiness in store f or the couple thus starting out in life together. Captain Isbister is the master of tiie fine schooner City of Chicago and has hosts of friends who wish him long life and.happiness. THE OAKLAND. PICKED tIP FBOM A HAFT.

The fcug Van Schaick and her master, Cap- A reporter cafW on Mr. ISenson, CollecTW oi Customs at Windsor, yesterday, and from him learned that the tug- Michigan was seized for not having boon inspected, run-nine- without a license, and because uo duty had been paid on Home extensive repairs i| made toiler hull and engine.—Detroit Free Press. The situation as to rates on lake freights is j unchanged. Ore carriers hold steady for the recent advance on orea and both wheat and j coal rates are improving. Coal shippers are evidently becoming convinced that with the strong demand for ore and grain vessels they are not likely to get their coal carried at any less than present rates and therefore more ready to make charters. We were shown a dispatch to-day in which inquiry was made for vessels to carry grain from Duluth to Ogdensburg at 11 to J 2 cents. The charters reported were the steamer John M. Osborne and consort. Exile and Davis, coal from "Lorain to Green Bay, 75 cents; same fleet, ore, back from Escanaba to Cleveland port; barge, William Young, coal, Lorain to Point Edward, 45 cents. — Cleveland Leader. A Cleveland-gentleman called at the office pf the local inspector yesterday and made a very serious charge against "Captain Hol-brook, of the steamer Keweenaw, alleging that the latter neglected to maintain proper order on the steamer on her recent trip from this port to Cleveland. The steamer was detained by rough weather at Pigeon Bay until yesterday morning, but before starting from there bo Cleveland over thirty of her passengers left her, coming to this citv, and from hero returning to Cleveland. It is stated that the vilest language was permitted in the ladies cabin, and that passengers who called the attention of Captain Holbrook to the ait'a'r received ungentlemanly treatment from him.—Detroit Post, The Urgent Necessity of a Treaty in Regard to Wrecking on the Lakes, American Tugs Not Allowed to Succor American Vessels in Canadian Waters-Interference. Sailor Troubles in the Harbor Yesterday-Changes of Masters—Freights a Shade Lower. THE VAN'S NEW COMMANDER. CAPTAIN LOUIS GHAY IS THE MAN. If the V. O. T. line have lost Captain Boh Teed as one of its masters—in command oi the tug A. G. Van Bchaick—they are for tunate in having another man to advance to the position made vacant by Captain Teed's resignation. This gentleman is Captain Louis Gray. "Louie1' is well known among all the vessel masters, and he has hosts of friends. He lost his good right leg saving a wrecked vessel and her crew, and the fact is not forgotten among the fraternity.. The sacrifice was written up fully In ^The Inter Ocean when it occurred several years ago. Captain Gray yesterday took command of the Van Schaick, and his numerous friends wish him every success. Captain Fred Anderson succeeds Captain Gray on the tug Protection, of the same line. Captain John Weckler takes command of the Rebel, resigning from the Lo-rena, of the Union Line, to. ao so. He is au old V. O. T. man, and feels more natural when in that line. The following changes of masters were recorded at the Custom House yesterday: H. C. Fulton, schoomer C. G. Mixer; Con Mahoney, tugLorena; Charles Sorrenson, schooner J. Lobmis MoLarem; John Massey, schooner J. IJ. Penrield; J. F. McCarcy, schooner A. Mosher; H. M. Harrison, schooner Leo. ¦vehrnc^mfT^saTs of freight there: There was rather unusmal activity among ¦l vessel brokers yesterday, and a somewhat n larger list of charters is reported to-day. *| Comment on the rates obtained for ore is scarcely necessary—they speak for themselves, as being fully up to the highest figures secured this season, or $1.7o per ton from Marquette and $1.50 from Escanaba. Grain rates are steady at :ic per bushel from Toledo to Buffalo aud 2c to 2^0 from this port. Thirteen cents was reported offered on grain from Duluth to Ogdensburg. And these are strong indications of decided advance on coal. Eighty-five cents was reported offered per ton for coal to Milwaukee and Chicago, with an intimation that tlie shipper would do better if he could not obtain a vessel soon at that price. From this statement it is evident that coal shippers are beginning to drink in the situation that" if they wish to get their coal transported up the lakes it is necessary for them to bid up on rates. The strong; demand for vessel . Arhich are by no tneanfl plentiful, for grain ami ore. and* the disposition on the part of vessel-owners to let tht'ir ships go up light to get it, rather than take coal at a low rate, when they may be dotal ned in loading and unloading, Is being seen by these .dealers m black diamonds, and thhy are beginning to act accordingly. They are not unmindful, also, that the season is slipping away, and the largest share of good weather already gone. The following were the engagements reported: Schooner H. (t. Cleveland, wheat from Cleveland to Buffalo, 2c; schooner Lafrin er, wheat from Cleveland to Buffalo, 2c; schooner C. P.

Comrade, ore from Escanaba to Ohio ports, $1.50." INSURANT THU HTEAMEP. SPARTAN. Although the steamer Spartan's repairs have been completed for some time, she is still detained at Detroit because of a failure to agree about her insurance. Her repairs have cost $!M,000, of which the insurance company would have to pay about $20,000, provided the steamer was not abandoned. The owner claims an abandonment, in which case the insurance companies would be forced to pay $10,000, which is considerably more than the steamer would, brine" if sold. The companies, on the other hand, refuse to pay the duty, which amounts to 25 per cent, on the repairs, and also claim that repairs "were made that were not rendered necessary by the accident which led to the abandonment of the steamer. As the amounts involved are large it will probably be a rather difficult matter to. arrive at a proper settlement of the matter. , i ii im^ - EM ARKS. U—-¦' w UM.

In attempting to clear the fly, which had got fouled, the rolling of the vessel caused him to lose his balance and plunge head first into the water.

The reason given was that the duty on her new en<>-ine had not been paid. Mr. Murphy explained that the bills for the work were not all in yet. and that the amount could not at present be ascertained. The Hon. William Smith, Deputy Minister of Marine for Canada, happened to be in Sarnia, about to leave for Lake Superior on the propeller United Empire and the matter was referred to him. He decided that the tug should be released as soon as Mr. Murphy deposited money enough to cover the probable amount of duty to be paid. This was done, and the tug was set at liberty. Mr. Murphy claims that the charge that the tug had not been inspected is not true, as she was inspected last June.—Detroit Free Press, CRIMINAL CONDUCT. THE CAUSE OF CAPTAIN MURRAY'S ACCIDENT- On Saturday afternoon the lock of the Wells street bridge was out of order, and, from 4:30 to 5:30 o'clock, it could not be turned for the passage of vessels. As a result a large number of tows congregated on either side, bound in and out. Repairs were completed at 5:30 o'clock, and, under the circumstances, the tugmen and vessel masters thought the evening bridge ordinance (commencing at 5:30 o'clock) might have been waived. The tenders at Wells street allowed the delaved fleets to pass through, but the tenders at Clark, State, and Bush Btreets enforced the ordinance just as they would have done had therm been no previous delay at Wells street. There was great confusion among the numerous towrn, and a number of vessels sustained damage.'. It was in this confusion and the consequent snarls and jams that the accident to the schooneer John B. Koyes occurred, -Captain Mummy wat so terribly injured. Pulaski, N. Y. He had only commenced work on the road, and was in some way engaged on the top of the car, when he was struck by a bridge under which the train passed. He was a young man of 25 years, and, like his father, had sailed on tho lakes a considerable share of his life and only loft a short time ago at the invitation of friends who assured him of bright prospects in railroading. For some time last spring ho sailed as second mate in the Onoko, and for some months before leaving for this new venture he had chartered and sailed the steambarge Thompson -Kingsford. He was a young man of unusual intelligence and business capacity, and capable of winning success in any direction in which he set himself. With these qualifications it seems doubly sad that he should have been taken off so suddenly in early life. His funeral will take place on Sunday at 2 o'clock p. m. Friends in Cleveland will attend.
