George Colter, the ^jmate of the Duvall, was also an old resident of Racine and an Odd Fellow, and leaves a wife and eight children in stringent circumstances. It is thought among sailors that there were two other men on board the vessel from Racine, but the general opinion is that the crew was shipped at Chicago. The Duvall was a neat little schooner, but those who have sailed on her say she was crank without ballast, and as the ballast, was taken out the last trip it is supposed to b< ' the cause of her capsizing so easily. THE NAKRAG-ANSETT. THE RESULTS OE THE COLLISION. The Milwaukee Sentinel has the following: The schooner Narragansett, run into early Tuesday morning off Port Washington by tho schooner Falmouth, discharged her cargo yesterday at the Northwestern Marine Elevator, and was towed to Wolf <fc Davidson's yard for repairs. Only eighty bushels of wheat, provedi to be damaged, which is surprising, as the ves-Jj eel is cut down twelve planks. She also liasf several frames broken, her deck is started and! raised an inch or two, and she requires about? thirteen new stanchions and a new rail anuf strineer from the forward timber heads tofcr some distance aft of the forerigging. Speaking* of the collision. Captain Reibolt says the Narra- l gausett was running free and headed north' northeast, while the Falmouth was on the star board tack, heading about south. As soon as the Falmouth was discovered, almost dead ahead, the Narragansett's helm was put hard down, for the purpose of going to windward and passing under her stern. A similar move must have been made on the Falmouth, in the hope of avoiding the collision, as she struck the Narragansett at the second chain-plate of her fore-rigging, her jibboom grazing the Narragansett's-foremast and going through and ruining her*- - * etaysail. The first officer of the sunken propeller St. Catharines makes the folio wins statement: "The Catharines left Sarnia at S o'clock Sunday evening, laden with salt, licorice, a&ui general merchandise for Chicago. The crew 'consisted of twenty-one men, and there were twenty passengers. The night was clear and starDight, and when about forty miles out thereat* tt,he lights of an approaching vessel. They could see her red lights quite plainly, but her grven lights could not be discerned. In about half an hour they were abreast, and the approaching craft. which was the George A. Marsh, hauled across the bow of the St.Catharin.es and showed her green lights. The first mate of the latstei* whis*-tied, and was answered by the Marsh. Just then, instead of porting hi;s helm, the Marsh's wheel was put to starboard and she struck the St. Catiiarir.es on the ¦oft bow, causing a great gap from th-e stem to he port, bow. The collision occurred ait 2:20 on .louday morning, and in fifteen rafemtes the Catharines sunk in eighty feet of water. The stem of the Marsh was carried away, and she leaked. Captain McMangh, of the St.. Catharines, awakened by the noise of crashing: timbers, rushed up on deck and the boats were manned, when the Morse came alongside and alll but four taken on board. These four took to thellife-boat. Hardly had the St. Catharines sunk when Cap-I tain Hart, of the Morse, ordered the passengers and crew of the St. Catharines ashore, a.s he said she was leaking. They were thus obligeid to take to boats and pulled to the propeller D. W. Bnst,, at hand. Here they were treated with (consideration and taken to Sarnia. THE WRECKED ST. CATHABENES.

She was loaded at the Chicago and Pacific Elevator, Chicago, and was consigned to Brundage, Bruce & Co. The Buffalo papers do not state which elevator there the McVca unloaded at. The attention of navigators is called to the following: "Thereof of rocks near Sturgeon Point, Lake Erie, has been located by the officers of the revenue steamer Commodore Perry.

On the bar out-» side, and cast from the harbor piers, the water*1 lias a depth of. 151'2 feet, and vessels can teach the harbor coming from a northeast direction with a clear water depth of 17 feet. Tlhe soundings on a line southeast from the harbor piers show quite different results. The bar fin that direction has, by estimate, a width of 300 feet.

The | crew escaped without injury, but the captain 1 was carried overboard by the falling debris, and injured quite severely in the side and limbs, Lthough no bones were broken. The wreck was discovered Thursday noon by parties at Pent-jvater, who telegraphed the information to Ludington, and the tug Messenger immediately went to the rescue, and reached Ludington Friday morning about 3 o'clock with the dismasted vessel and much of the rigging and spars, which had been made fast by the crew.

On Thursday night the schooner Kate Lyons, light, left Chicago bound for an east shore lumber port. At 8 a'clock yesterday morning she airived back in tow of the steambarge Thompson. The Thompson's starboard bow was stove in to the water line (there was a canvas jacket over the break) and her topmast was broken and the mast lying back on deck. The Lyons'* bowsprit, jibboom and everything forward was gone, her stem split, and she was damaged otherwise. Tho Thompson's barge, the H. A. Richmond, did not arrive in port until 1 o'clock in the afternoon. It was very foggy and thick on the lake from about midnight of Thursday, and it j| proved that some distance out in the lake tho Thompson and Lyons came in collision. There arc the usual "two sides" as to which craft was in fault, but as to that a newspaper has nothing to do. There was a report in the harbor shortly after the crippled vessels arrived that one of the crew of the Lyons had been knocked overboard by the collision, and that a deckhand on the Thompson had been very badly hurt or Killed outright. This report, happily, proved to be without any foundation in fact. The Lyons was towed into Lighthouse slip, where repairs will be made at the branch yard of the Chicago Drydock Company, while the Thompson proceeded to C. C. Thompson's lumber dock in the south branch. The damage to the Lyons-is quite severe, as is also that to the Thompson, and the only wonder is that one or both were not sunk.

FREIGHTS. In grain freights the vessel agents keep the figures paid vessels so much of a secret that it is almost impossible for the newspapers to chronicle the course of the market each day. There is a good demand for capacity—indeed an urgent demand—but some of the agents zvo in such close relations with the shippers that it is almost impossible for freights to advance on the old-fashioned rule of "supply and demand." It was given out yesterday that the figures received were on the basis of 5'^c corn and (ji^c wheat to Buffalo. Lumber freights were steady and unchanged.
