GRAIN CHABTEES YESTERDAY, The following charters were reported yesterday after the cargo insurance tariff for May was announced: To Srie—Propeller Lycoming:, corn, on through rate; schooner Exile, wheat, on through rate. The Exile is supposed to be chartered by the Anchor Propeller Line on through rate. To Buffalo—Schooner John Kelderhouse,wheat at 5 cents. So claimed by those who claim to know all about the charter. Propellers, it is said, were put in previously on the same basis. Propellers New York, Vanderbilt, James Fisk, Commodore, all wheat on "through rate;" propeller Milwaukee, corn, on "through rate." It was understood last evening that several additional sail vessels had been chartered for Buffalo, but no particulars could be learned. The Straits being open, the business "boom" will now set in. The total quantity of grain in store in Chicago • on Monday was 11,300,784 bushels; at this time last season, 11,349,533 bushels. About 3,000,-000 bushels of grain are afloat in vessels in the harbor. SB* <&®" f 1 * Jails at r ff o THE GARDEN" CTTT THROUGH. TH# INTER OCEA37 COREECT, AS USUAL. The exclusive prediction of The Intek Ocean that the Garden City would be first through the straits is verified by tlhe following: Special Telegram to The Inter Ocean. Mackina City, Mich., May 3.— Navigation is open. The sfceambarge Garden City, from Chicago, passed down to-day. She came through the ice above here as though it was very rotten. Wind northwest, fresh; weather warm. Special Message to The Inter Ocean. Mackinaw City, Mich., May 3.—The ice is all rotten, and we "walked through it" without the least trouble. Compliments to The Inter Ocean, the lake marine, and the shippers of Chicago. As you have announced, we go to Alpena. Yours truly, _ Garden City. LAKE HUKON. Detroit, Mich., May 2.— The steamer Pearl has arrived at Alpena, being the first boat from Lake Huron this season. The Pearl left Detroit Thursday morning, and encountered a great deal of floating ice in Lake St. Clair and a good deal of ice in Lake Huron; but the small pieces were soft, and the Pearl steered around the larger fields. She arrived at Sand Beach Thursday evening, left Friday morning, arrived at Oscoda at 11 o'clock in the forenoon, and at Alpena at 5 o'clock Friday evening. She encountered no ice between Oscoda and Alpena, the wind having driven it out into the lake. On the return trip she left Alpena Saturday morning, arriving at Sand Beach the same- evening; left Sand Beach at daylight Sunday morning, and arrived here at 3 in the afternoon. WRECKED. Special Xelesrram to The Inter Ocean. Port Huron, Mich., May 3.—The propeller Te-cumseh is wrecked on the schooner Sweetheart, one mile from the St. Claire River. She struck the wreck and broke some of her bottom plank, so that a steam-pump is working to keep her from sinking. The tugs L. H. Johnson and Blockingbird were pulling on her to-night, without being successful. At 9 o'clock the Tecumseh was settling down on the wreck in bad shape, resting just forward of her boilers, and on the center-board box of the vessel. Pontoons will be put under her bows to-morrow, and raise her off the wreck. She was bound for Alpena, towing the schooner George C. Finney, which sus-. tained no damage beyond some aelav. .....AiTivyff"g^-flmi'Uuui'iuu- ' nmu mOT-i?* Schrs George M. Case, J. Maria Scott, Richmond, Oliver Mowatt.

The arrival of the tug Anna P. Dorr from Erie, Sunday, having r>royed that the ice was not as difficult to get through as has been supposed, several vessels this morning ventured out with the intention of forcing a passage, and at 6 o'clock this evening all of them had succeeded in reaching clear water from here. The first start was the schooner M. J. Wilcox, bound for Cleveland in tow of the tugs W. II. Crowel! .and Tom Maytham. She left port at 7 o'clock this morning and shuck: the ice shortly after getting out, but experienced no trouble in getting through. At half-past 8 o'clock she was out of sight. At 11 o'clock she was let go in clear water off Port Colborne, and made sail for her destination, where she loads with coal for Racine. The next to leave was the schooner Nevada, bound for Detroit with a cargo of coal loaded here last fall. She was towed out by the tugs Compound and J. B. Griffin shortly after 10 o'clock.' An hour later the schooner Rising Star was taken hold of by the tugs Geo.R. Hand and S. E. Bryant and followed iu the wake-oi the Nevada. The latter two boats were in , sight of the wharf at 12:30 to-day and appeared to be headed toward the north shore. The Rising Star is loaded for Chicago with a cargo of coal, which she took on last year. TERKLBLE ACCIDENT. A Detroit dispatch says: "Captain Charles S. Anderson, of the steamer Riverside, last evening-, at Spring- Wells, below this city, was struck by the fender of the boat, which gave a sudden lurch against the dock, and broke from her fastenings. Anderson was knocked senseless and his skull fractured. He died at an early hour this morning, aged 24 years. Pie leaves a wife and young child," Captain Anderson was well known in Chicago and has many friends. "W." WANTS TO KNOW. To the Editor of The Inter Ocean. Chicago, May 4.—The Tina.es this morning is in doubt, but guesses thiat the schooner John Kelderhouse takes corn at 6*a0 to Buffalo. The Tribune don't fenow anything about it; couldn't learn anything about it. Row, is it possible that two newspapers like the Times and Tribune don't know the importance of the opening rate of grain j freights; don't know that tbe opening rate j pins ail vessel-owners and agents to the rate [Arst accepted? Isn't the rate of grain TrtTsghts out of Chicago, a market that controls the world and regulates transportation everywhere, worthy of notice by the great Chicago Times and Tribune? I think it is. Why the Times and Tribune couldn't, get at the rates when The Inter Ocean gave the charters in full—names of craft, kind of grain cargo, port destined for, and the rates obtained—no one can imagine. The Times says the Kelderhouse received G1^ cents on corn to Buffalo. The Intek Ocean, though b friend the vessel owners have got, told the truth and said she got only 5 cents on wheat. Corn is always (owing to lighter weight) less than wheat" by a ^ to Iq a cent per bushel, and the wheat rate being o cents, the nominal corn rate, instead of B3^ cents, would be 41s@4% cents. 1 can't understand the policy of the Tirn-es and Tribune, and there are lots of other people iust like me. W. CLEARING FOR BELOW. THAT IS WHAT THE FLEET ARE DOING. The GardenCity having passed through the Straits, the fleet in Chicago and Milwaukee are preparing to start out. Clearances are being taken out at the Custom House, and the fleet will leave in a few days. The order of these clearances for bfelow is as follows: Schooners C. K. Nims, Latrienier, C. J. Wells, J. G. Hasten, H. J. Webb; propeller Milwaukee (Western), to load at Milwaukee; propeller Wissahickon; schooners M. A. Muir, i'lo-retta; propellers Waverly and B. W. Blanch-ard, to load at Milwaukee; schooners 8. J. Tilden, Thomas Quayle, Manzaniila, Golden West, and Marengo. There will be additional clearances to-day. Captain .Roach, of the Marengo, said yesterday that he would sail to-day if the wind was fair. If he does the Marengo may be the first sail fellow to start out for below for the season of 1881. THE STRAITS. ANOTHER MESSAGE FROM CAPTAIN SHAVER. Special Message to The Inter Ocean. Alpena, Mich., May 4. —The first ice we encountered was off the head of Beaver Island, extending to Old Mackinaw, some he;avy and some soft—nothing to hinder a bouit from coming right along. I arrived here 110 a. m. to-day. Alva Sha ver, Master Gardeni City. Special Telegram to The Inter Ocean. Mackinaw City, Mich., May -4.—The schooner John Miner and Belle Brown, from Cheboygan, and a steambarge, passed up today. A fresh east wind has been blowing all day, which has probably loosened up the ice above here, and driven tbe most of £13 out into the lake below here. It is all clear except some in the bay. Special Telegram to The Inter Ocean. St. Ignace, Mich., May 4.—The ice has all gone from the north shore of Lake Michigan as far east as St. Helena. There is no obstruction to steamers passing through. The ice will he entirely gone in two or three days. A SENSATION. A BBAMAN's reck-less oath. Some most interesting reading will be found in the Court Record this morning. It is the case of Carse vs. Christy. One of the-seamen, charges Captain Christy with being responsible1 for the sinking of the vessel, and also charges that his name was appended to the captain's, protest without his {the seaman's) knowledges, which would be forgery. The seaman's ahidawit is not believed to be the truth, however. Captain Christy is well known to be an honoratble man. lue Phenix Insurance Company, knowing ali about this affidavit, paid their share of and will not join tne other companies; in contesting the matter. The other compamies are the Great Western, Greenwich, and Manhattan, and the local agents all agree with the Phenix that the disaster was wholly unavoidable. O DANGEROUS SWEETHEART. IN THIS CASS IT IS A VESSEL. The Inter Ocean's Port Huron special announces almost daily the serious damaging of steamers and vessels by striking the sunken schooner Sweetheart, which lies at the mouth of St. Clair Elver, directly in the track of all craft bound up and down. The insurance companies have paid up the losses on cargo and hull, and ¦ and her chargo belongs to them. The cargo consists of l,01t> tons of pig-iron, and its value is roughly estimated at $30,000. This seems to be the whole trouble. Some one wants co recover that cargo, but that some one does not move in the matter, and meanwhile the whole lake marine suffers- The Sweetheart was a sood craft at the time of her sailing, and, as indica^ ted, a large craft. The ore car so has nek; her in position, just as a pier is held in position, and she may yet be in fair shape for repairs. The in surance companies own this property now, and if they want it they should be compelled to take it, ana thus remove tne most dangerous obstruction it now is. There is talk of subscriptions for a lightship, but this is not the proper way to proceed, though of course there should be some temporary means of marking the wreck day and night. If the insorance companies will not remove the p roperty for its value they can be compelled t-0 remove the obstruction it proves. The government has often before compelled the owners of craft that were obstructions to navigable waters of the United States to remove them at their own expense, and] the disposition of Chicago vessel owners is to call on the government to act in the case of the Sweetheart. Possibly if the owners of the ore were to announce that they held no claim to it, nrivate parties would remove it. The companies insuring the hull were as follows: Buffalo, of Buffalo.......................- $5,000 Mercantile, of Cleveland.................. 5,000 Great "Western, New York................ 5,000 Phenix.................................... 5.000 Uninsured................................ 5,000 The value of the vessel is thus seen to have been about $30,000. Total value vessel and cargo, $60,000. to uhe exact location of the wreck, the protest on her loss says slue sunk in 22- feet of water one mile from the lighthouse at the head of St. Clair River. The mysterious leak: that sunk the Trinidad may have been caused Jby striking on the Sweet-" eart. _ __ ^—^w^^^"1^ extensively known along THE LAKE LEVIATHAN. the largest sail vessel. The mammoth five-masted schooner David Dows, now on her way to Chicago, measures 1,481 tons, and is claimed to have capacity for 130,000 bushels of wheat on 15]3 feet of water. Her first cargo, taken from Toledo, was 87,500 bushels of wfieat. She is 287 feet in length over all, 39 feet bfeam, and 20 feet depth of hold. She was built by Bailey Bros,, 01 Toledo, ana is owned by M. D. Carrington, of the firm of Car-rington <fc Casey, of Toledo. In the supplement juRfc. issued by the Inland Lloyds the new craft gets her rating, which is A 1*. Her value is placed at $82,900. That the launching of this monster was a great event at Toledo (or would be anywhere) is not at all surprising. Her cargo to Chicago is coal, and was taken on at Erie. She carries a crew of fifteen. SAILED ON FPJDAY. TEMPTING THE PATES. Additional clearances for below, taken out yesterday, were those of the barges Alleghany and Schuylkill, schooner James Couch, steam-barge Ohio, and schooners John Kelderhouse, Granger, M. Vv. Page, Exile, D. A. VanValken-berg, Homer, Ada Medora, J. W. Doane, H. P. Baldwin, Hale ted, Golden Fleece, Red "Wing, C'. Kilsson, Michigan, and E. Iff. Nicholson, It was Friday, and masters and seamen not liking to start out on "that unlucky tiay" on the first trip of the season, the fleet ™ady, remained in the harbor—that is, excepting the schooner D. A. Van Valkcnoerg. Captain Keith ;iud the owner of the vessel would **break down that foolish old superstition," and the Van Val kenberg towed out. Excepting, also, the schooner ilinnie Slauson and propeller Milwaukee, which also sailed. The fleet generally will leave here to-day. When the master of the propeller Boston was asked last evening when he would leave, he said he thought he would be ready a little after midnight—about l o'clock (Saturday morning). Union crews are being freely shipped at $2 per day, and all the union rules allowed. A, CARING FOR JACK WHEW SICK. new arrangements made at sevebal pouts.

THE LATE CAPTAIN' EOAOK. The death of Captain Michael Eoach, his wife, Mrs. Mary Eoach, and their little daughter Agnes, was a subject of conversation in marine circles yesterday, and numerous friends of the late captain and of the family expressed surprise and genuine regret. Four children survive, one of whom is now dangerously HI. All the children have had the diphtheria. The schooner Winona, owned by the late Captain Koacli. left the lakes two years ago, made two trans-Atlantic voyages, and, alter other shorter trips, entered into a six-months contract on the River Platte. South America. The other parties to the contract made some violation and suit was commenced against them, the vessel being sold by Captain Fmnegau, at Captain Reach's direction, and the proceeds deposited as bonds in the suit.
