Halsted took «laoe yesterday af'ternoon from the family residence, No. 710 N.orth Franklin street. It was generally attended! by the marine, commercial, and marine insurance interests, and by the lumber interest, as well as by other friends of the deceased and the family generally. So large was the crowd that the large homestead could not contain them, and the grounds about the house were full of people. The services at the house were short, consisting of a prayer by the Rev. Petrie, of the Episcopal Church of Our Savior, the family pastor, and the singing of selected hymns by two ladies, which were most beautifully and impressively rendered. The floral offerings were numerous and most beautiful. The casket, as borne out by the pallbearers, was completely covered with flowers. A large pillow had the simple inscription elegantly worked across it: : HENRY S. HALSTED. : * ..........................-': Among those in attendance were Captain John Keith, Captain William Keith, Charles Finney. Thomas Miller, liobert Meadowcroft, C. J. Ma-gill, Captain Bounds, Captain John Prindiville, Henry Channon, Captain Wiley M. Egan, Captain Arthur Atkins, Captain David Da!!, Major J. A. Fitch, Ira Owen, Captain William Harmon.

The large lake tug Josepni Perrett, which wad built at Manitowoc durims last year by John Gregory, for the Marinette Eiarge Line Company,1 has just received her machimery and completion at Twenty-second street. Slue is 160 feet long, 2J> feet beam, and 13 feet hoild, of 537 tons. She is provided with two compiound engines of, respectively, 27 and 44 inches diameter and 40 inches stroke, buiit by the Detroit pry Dock Company, She has a marinie tubular boiler of 11 feet in diameter and 17 fiffiet in length, of Otis uteel, 47 inches thickness, of a tensile strength of b"0,000 pounds to the square inch. She is allowed a steam pressure of 85 pounds. Her cost js upward of $40,000. She is commanded by a worthy gentleman, after whom she wafl. named, who will toegin the season's operations at once. m DKOWNED OUTSIDE. The schooner Belle Brown, Captain Feltus, was towed into the narnor yesterday with her flag at half-mast. She was laden witti cedar posts from Offontz Bay, and went to Mueller & Christie's dock at M&me street, four utiles up the South Branch. Thither the reporter followed her (by 'street-car), anr* it was learned that George Deraay, the second mate, was lost overboard and drowned during the gale. The sad accident occurred at li o'clock Saturday morning, when the vessel was about abreast of Kewaunee. The wind was howling from, east northeast at the time, a fearful sea was running, and the "Belle" was bowimg along at a tremendous rote of speed. No small boat could live in such a tempest, and as the vessel was far away from' him hve minutes after ho fell overboard, poor Demay had to be loft to his fate. He was about 45 years of age, and had no family that is known of. He was a man of good habits and au excellent sailor.

The tug Prindeville came "out last night. She is in better shape than ever since being rebuilt. Sailors predict that the eastern gales will terminate next Tuesday. As the wind was east on Good Friday they say it follows that it will continue from- that direction for forty days. Colchester light-ship is still here. The Prince Alfred will station her as soon as the weather moderates. It is still blowing a gale from the northeast, and the water is very high. Still Blowing: a Gale. gDccialto The Hmuotzcait.

I South Chicago, May a.—The steamship Massachusetts, of the Inter Oeean Company's Line, |recently in port here, brought; at cargo of 1,500 tons of iron ore from' Escanaba for the North Chcago Boiling Mill Company. This is an entirely new craft, having just been built and launched at Detroit. She left Port Huron on Friday a week ago on ner first trip for Escanaba. A splendid chance was afforded her to prove her seaworthiL. ss across the Saginaw Bay. But she sped on unmindful oi the howdng winds and the roaring billows. She is a very large and commodious craft. She measures 235 feet keel, and has a beam of 37 feat. She is built, of oak and diagonally strapped, with floor timbers only lo inches apart. The iioor is 50 inches from the bottom, thus enabling her to carry the cargo with much greater ease. She has three masts with three spars, schooner-rigj^ed, and carries full canvas on all when raeeded. Her engines are compound, with cylinders 28 and 48 by 40 stroke, built by the Detroit Dry Dock Works, at Detroit. The boilers are on the deck, two iu number, each 9x16 feet, of 7-16 steel, built by Desotell & Hutton, of Detroit, and allowed 104 pounds of steam, covered with Beache's patent cover. The officers' cabin is built forward, on deck; the one for the crew Is amidships, on deck also. All the apartments, except those occupied by the firemen and the deck-hands, are carpeted with first class Brussels. The wash-stands in wash-room and the captain's apartment* have marble tops, -,nti a bureau, with mantel-pier mirror, is also in the latter. Besides the state-rooms and dining-room, there is a laree and commodious sitting-room, in which is a marble-top bureau with a large mantel pier mirror, a lounge, two arm chairs, and a patent rocker. There is also a chart-room, which the captain sleeps in when at sea. Not a stove except the one used for cooking is to hi found. Every apartment is heated with steam. The furniture is mostly all made of walnut. Besides the reyular sleeping rooms allowed to officers and crew, there are a few spare ones for friends and patrons. The craft is sharply built fore and aft, nevertheless, the ends are neatly turned, and she is Achilles - like in speed. In short, both exterior and interior are furnished and constructed with a view both to elegance and uselulness. She averaged a speed of eleven miles per hour during her trip, and was not strained to the utmost of her ca- MURDER ONT SHIPBOARD. In a scuiHe on board the steamshipH. C.

The huge steam lighter Onoko discharged 88.140 buehela wheat at Niagara B elevator, not a pound of which was wet .She- fell short 7o bushels. Yesterday afternoon she began loading coal for Chicago at the Lackawanna shutes, and after a little less than six hours' actual work she had taken on 2,500 net tons. She then drew 14 ft. 6 in. forward and 13 ft. 8 m. aft with fuel to run iier toClereland. THE LOKA IN PORT. A FINEi STAUNCH CRAFT SHE IS. The hull of Graham & Morton's new Drropeller liora, built expressly for passenger and freight traffic between Chicago and the east shiore, arrived here yesterday iu tow of the pjropeller Messenger, to have her boiler put in position, there being no "shears" at St. Josepti. The boiler was brought here oy the sceambarge Douglas, and the work of getting it into place on the new craft was in progress yesterday afternoon at the "shears" in Lighthouse Slip. This, done, the Lora will be towed back to St. Joseph! to receive her engine, etc., and have her upper* works completed. Jacob H. Randall superintended the buildingi of the new craft, and she reflects credit ou him. She has very fine lines, and is as strong a.s wood iron can make her. The dimensions are as \ follows: Length of keel, feet...........................156 Length on deck, feet........................167 Exireme breadth, feet........................ 31*b| Depth of hold, feet......................____ 11 Burden, tous........ ........................600 The machinery was built bv Bryce. Bloaaeker «& Co., of Grand Haven. Toe boiler is^: ieel, 'S^xlO feet, and at full capacity is equal to 56S horse power. It stands a test of 100 pouuds steam pressure. The engine has a single crau k, link motion, with slide valve aud independent c?ut-off. It has steel cross-head, wrought-iron slides, and' oolumn frame, well braced forward and square on the base. _Tne ] FROM BUFFALO. Special to The Eepublican- Buffalo, April 7.—The schooner Guido Pfister arrived at 9 o'clock to-night with wheat from Chicago, the first through ar] rival this season. The schooner Sailor Boy arrived at Milwaukee with only one man on board. He said there Wert; three on the v< . first. Off Ahmipee the main-boom knocked Captain HaiL«j sen overboard, and the sailor safd: "f aa,w the captain in tba | water. He was being tossed about by the sea. JohnJur*} gesen, the other sailor on board, lowered the boat to rescue] Captain flan sen. f saw him pull away in the yaw], but dida not see him afterward." It was reported in Chicago thai some vessel had picked Jurgesen up, but her name could not be learned. A channel south of the Charity Islands, five mile* from east to west, and one mile from north to south, with tea feet of water, lias been marked by eight buoys, as follows:- -Ou the east end by a third-class can, painted red ; on the west end by a third-class can, painted black ; on the north and south sides, between the can buoys, by six spar buoya three red and three black, to mark the passage, Which may boused with safety by vessels drawing less than ten feet of water. Sixteen feet of water issaid to be the depth through the Neebish Rapids. It is expected that a few months will jiv| a good sixteen feet through the Sault aud ail the rivers, Duhitn will then crack her heels and get up albngside of Chicago in cheap grain freights. At least she thinks thM way at present. Captains of vessels complain that sailors' wages are net uniform. The union wage at St. Catharines is #1 50, and at Kingston it is $1 75 ; and they say, moreover, that wages are not regulated by freights, and that it was promised by the sailors that wages should correspond to vessels' cam-ings. Captain Malone, who was in charge of the steamer Chieftain, which had three schooners down from Lake Su* perior, loaded with pine timber, believes that towing ves*> tela will become the rule. This will regulate sailors' wages. MTsCKIXJLlfiBOTJS. Th"re was a muddle at Kington the other day. The net r Corsiean went to pass between the Cuba and the bai,,. Princess.
