^ & AFTEE THE BLOW. THa A. O. MOUEY IN TBOUBLE. The wind-bound fleet at anchor outside got under way at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Last evening the wind had got around south and a monster fleet left the harbor. The schooner Hyderabad is in dry-dock, and the Emrna will probably go in to-day. Dispatches received in Chicago yesterday announce the schooner A. G. Morey in uistress at Mackinaw City. The vessel loaded lumber at Chebuyiran for Chicago. The dispatches announce her at Mackinaw City waterlogged, and asked for a cux, pump, and iine. The impred-sion is that sue struct some reef and has been run ashore, though no particulars are given. The Protection, Captain Gray, of the V. O. T. line, left for Mackinaw City at 11 o'clock last night, taking one of Atkins & Beck with's steam pumus, a hawser, etc, Tne Morey measures 302 tons, rfho classes B 1, and is valued at about $9,000.

CHICAGO F1BMS THE HBAT3C fcOSEtf-3. It is learned that the cargo of the Canadian propeller Cuba, which sprung aleak on Lake Ontaria and was run aground, at Charlotte to save her, was most all consigned, to Chicago, firms. The loss on cargo is £35,000 to $40,000. The propeller ha3 been taken to Toronto for docking and repairs. "When Captain Corquodale decided to run the Cuba into port at Charlotte it was thought that her leak could be caulked and the journey to Toronto be continued. But investigation showed that it was necessary to keep the pumps at work and ground her to keep her fron*sinking. There were several feet of water in the hold, and the cargo was damaged. The load consisting of 101 bales feathers, 68 bales bagging, 522 barrels sugar for Cray, Burt, Kingman & Co., of Chicago; 176 barrels -sugar for Eickeo, Grombie & Co., of Milwaukee, 683 barrels sugar, Continental Bugar Hennery, of Chicago; 207 barrels of su^ar for S.

Four I harbor tugs responded to her signals of distress, ;and iiinaliy succeeded in extinguishing the ; harness, but not untii a large part oi' the tug was j destroyed, including the pilot-house, engineroom, and forward deck, PICTON. JDrowued. Picto.v, Aug. 14.— While the steamer Altxon-dna was discharging freight at Hepburn's duck here between tea and eleven o'clock Saturday night, a deck hand named Thomas Moiraey fell oh the Wharf and was drowned. Ore freights continue firm, the bulk of the inquiry oeing for vessels of 1,000 tons capacity and upwards. No charters were reported at this port Saturday. Kates continue to be quoted as follows: From Marquette to Lake Erie ports..SI. 10® 1.15 Prom Escanaba to Lake Erie ports___ 1.0f><&1.10 Prom Escanaba to Chicago............. 95® 1.00 From Marquette to Chicago........... 1,10@1.15 Coal freights at Buffalo Saturday were very weak, and carrying rates declined 10 cents a ton to thia port and Milwaukee. The drop in rates at that port is due to the small amount of coal on haind for shipment.

KINGSTON NOTES. Kingston, Aug. 8.—The schooner Bissell was seventeei bushels short oaa cargo of 31 ooo, and the schooner An drews twenty bushels on a 21,ooo bushel cargo. Neithe vessel had any money to pay out. They left for Oswego t. load coal. The owners of the La Prairie, sunk below Montreal, haVi sent to Garden Island for wreckers and a pump to raise tw steamer, with as little delay as possible, as it is difficult t< i steamboat to take her place. ^1 CTK. - m. iy STEAKEBARGE KUltfOrSFOBD SUNK. Special Telegram to Tno latter Ocean. Belleville, Ont., Aoig-. 8.—A serious collision occurred on the: bay to-day near the Stono mills, by whuch the stoambargG Thomas Kingsford was sunk. The latter was bound for Oswego* with lumber, and the other one, the s team barge Saxon, was on her way to Belleville from Oswego, light, and at the time she collided with the Kingsford was running at full speed. Captain John Yanalstine, of the Saxon, says when coming up the bay ha saw the Kingsford, and made preparations to pass her on thie proper side, but the mastdt of the Kingsford, Captain ilcCarthy, also attempted to p>ass the Saxon on the same side, and this resulted in a collision. "When the Kingsford attempted to cross the Saxon's bow, the captain, of the latter reversed nis engine and shouted to the men on the Kingsford, but it was too lato. The latter was struck, with great force, and sank almost immediately. The Saxon was not injured much. The Kingsford is owned by four Oswego gentlemen," and the Bason 'I by Messrs.

Captain Craig, of the Hero, reports that the Kingsford is lying on her port side between Prinyear's and Bougard's wharves, not sunken, but down to the rail, The collision occurred nine miles from Stone Mills. The steataabarge Saxon has gone to take off the cargo, andas soon as the deckload of lumber is removed the Kingsford will ease up: The Dominion Wrecking and Salvage Company were asked what they would take the Kingss , ford to Oswego for. They replied, but have not yet received an answer. Probably the owners will do the wrecking themselves with American tugs, securing a permit to do so ¦ from the Canadian Government. i Captain Gaskin will lend four stone boats to be used in I connection with the removal of the shoals in the harbour.

THE KINGSTON" "SHORTAGE" TROUBLE. There is a feature about the trouble;) over recent shortages in Kingston that is discovered in a communication from the Collector of Customs at Kingston. The communication ISas follows :—" 8th Aug., 1832. Sir,—I desire to inform you that I an. in receipt of certificates from the Collector of Customs at the Port of Oswego. U.S., dated 31st July, 1U32, of the arrival of uteambarge "Business7 with 16u buahels damaged wheat, being part of the carg > of the above-. mentioned steainbarge laeen at Milwaukee, 21st July, 1882, for your Company, and damaged in transport." There is just a suspicion that a great deal of the outcry is caused hy an apprehension that the Aloutrcal route is being adopted to such an extent as to prejudice the American routes, "The Chicago "Times " announces the death by suicide of Captain Samuel Whiting, who was a well-known sailor of the old school thirtyfive years ig •. He commanded a number of the better class of steamers of those days, and was not only a good sailor but held various positions of trust, having served as United States Consul ut Nassau Island, of New Providence, and as Secretary to the Governor of Florida. At one time he was editor of -a newspaper, at Winona, Minn. He died at the Sailors' Harbour, Station Island. A REAlT^MAN'S'-Wa"*T ARHIVAL OF THE U. B, BTBAMEB MICHIGAN. The United States steamer Michigan, the only man-of-ivar on the lakes, has arrived at Chicago, on her season cruise about the lakes. She has been repainted and over hauled since her last visit, and looks trim and beautiful. The Michigan, among other uties,, is lighthouse inspector, and the ne cessity of a. fog-bell or whistle on the new exterior breakwater (which the new steamship Siberia collided with in the log Sunday morning) will doubtless be reported to the department, Also the fact that the north pier fog-bell, as at present hung, cannot be heard any distance, and also the fact that the Grosse Point fog-whistle is not sounded during foggy weather as it should be. The oiiicers oi the Michigan arc as follows: Commander—Albert Kautz. Lieutenant Commander—E. Longnecker, executive officer. Lieutenant—F. W. Grreenieaf. Lieutenant—Charloa A. Adams. piaster—Charles Laird. Ensign—W. L. Yarnum,. Chief Engineer—J. S. L*. Uostwick. Paymaster—J. Poarter Loomis. Surgeon—Henry Stewart. Assistant Engineer—W. M. McFariand. Boatswain—P. Murphy. The officers ve y much regret the trouble of some of the marines at Green Bay, and say ia; was brought about and aggravated by a brutal, overzealous poiiceman, who seriously wounded one of the men. The Mayor of Green Bay has since dismissed the policeman from the force. The Michigan will remain oft: Chicago about two weexs, and numbers oi citizens will be , |mvited aboard. THS ESCANABA AGIiOXJND. Special Telegram to The later Ocean- IUcine, AVis., Ante, p.—This morning during a dense fog the steainbarge Escanaba, laden with iron ore, bound from Escanaba to Chicago, van on Racine Beet She is out about two foot forward, and is not leaking. Two hundred tons of ore have already been taken on to a large lighter. The schooner Fearless is now alongside, and will cake off enough ore to allow the tugs to pull her off. The prospects are that she will be afloat and on her way to Chicago Monday morning. _ SALT SHIPMENTS PROM BAY CITY. fcjpeeial Telegram to The inter Ocean. Bat City, Mich., Aug. 1.—The July salt shipments to Chicago by lake were 27,234 barrels, and by rail 772 cars, containing 69,318 barrels, malting the season's Chicago salt shipments from Bay City by lake and rail 42.4,090 barrels. The monster steamship Siberia left port this afternoon for Chicago on her maiden trip, bavins" on board 1,400 tons of bulk salt, or 9,«12 barrels. This is a liffht load, she drawing only 11 feet 10 inches forward and I'J feet four inches attt. She is commanded for the present by her owner, Captain James Davidson. The large tug Alanaon Sumner i« receiving a very exten- I sive overhauling by It. Mills & Co. The wood work of the j craft is being put in the best, possible sh&pe, while her i boilers are to be almost reconstructed, nearly SI,5oo being ! expended upon them. The Sumner will come out in two weeks iu as good condition as any first-class tug. She is owned by Captain Dagget, master ofj the steamer City of | Toronto. CHARTERS AND FREIGHTS. Detroit.-Aug. 2.—Nothing was done in the way of charters yesterday, although there was a good demand for vessels to loud wheat for liuffalo, and 2J cents was freely offered, There is nothing whatever offering for Canadian ports, Montreal now being full of grain, and the scarcity of ocean tonnage making it impossible for the shipper to make jroom for more grain, The schr Mianna was not chartered as reported yesterday morning. She is not yet unloaded, and her captain will not chatter until she is ready to load. Chioa-co, III.. Aug. '2.~The freight'rate on corn to Sara nia.

She looks to be well out; thinks it is the Barbarian; she left this port Saturday morning last; with a cargo of iron ore. The schooner Eliza Gerlach dragged her anchors this afternoon, ana would have ?one ashore but for the assistance of the harbor tug Owen, which soon., brought her to a safe , janehorage. ___„,..........«» J :,-i : ¦¦ -Tara to Tliolntwr Ocean.

THE CUBA—CAKGO LOSS FORTY THOUSAND. A llochester special says: "Tuesday, the propeller Cuba, of the Ogdensburg Transportation Company, left Ogdensburg for Toronto on her regular trip. The Culm reached Kingston with-misnap at 3 o'clock yesterday morning. When nearly opposite Charlotte she encountered a heavy storm and labored considerably. At 7 o'clock" she was found to b.< leaking Ijadly. The car,- was listed and pumps were set RO&lg, bat ir gained. The captain hauled ner up and made for the port of Genesee, reaching there at noon. There was then about two feet of water in her hold, and aa it was gaining on the pumps she was turned down river and run into the mud on the east bank, a little way south of the pier, to prevent h'.er from sinking. Captain Cor-quodale immediately made out a protest. He says: "About 3 a. m. of this date it came in to blow hard from tiie southeast, with a heavy sea. The boat labored considerable, and at 7 a. m. I found she was leaking badly. I immediately hauled her up for the port of Geuesse, and ar-tived at 12 m." The Cuba had sixty-five passengers, mostly from Boston and Now York, bound for Toronto. Tney did not know that .she was in a critical condition until she was about entering pert. She had also a srencral cargo of merchandise, sugar, etc., which, no doubt, was damaged extensively; in fact, tha pumps threw out water that appeared to be molasses, but it was only dissolved suiiar. Captain OatQUodale telegraphed to Uie owner, who resides in Toronto, and he came to this city to-day and accompanied the captain to Charlotte. Telegrame were also sent for the City of Montreal to come and convey the passengers to Toronto. The Cuba is 577 tons burden, and is quite an old boat. At 12 12 o'oiock this forenoon the propeller City of Montreal had not arrived, nor any lighters to discharge the Cuba's cargo. She lies in the same position as last night, and the pumps are kept going. The owners of the vessel are on the spot, but nothing can be done until the arrival of aid. Waterspout on Lake Erie. Buffalo, N.Y., Aug. 11.—About 8:45 this morning a large waterspout was plainly seen from the roof of the white building out on Lake Erie, apparently opposite Windmill Point. The spectaeie was a grand one, and will not soon be forgotten by those who witnessed it. The Water appeared to rise in the shape of a cone, probably 30 or 40 feet in thickness, up into a heavy funnel-shaped cloud, through rifts in which the sunbeam.-, played. This lasted for twenty minutes or more, and the water then appeared to break into a vast mass of spray. It is reported two spouts were seen of Angola a day or two sinnr* THE STEAMSHIP ESCANABA, which was on Kucine reef, is not leaking at all, but will probably go into drydock for - examination, fthe towed the schooner Pear- Pamage to the oargo is $40,000. less here with 300 tons of the lightered ore on board, and the tu<r Sill, of liacine. broug-ht in a large lighter, also loaded down with ore. It is not thought the Escanaba is damaged seriously, but it is all guesswork until she goes into drydock. THE STEAMSHIP JAMES DAVIDSON, the stranding of which at Frankfort was exclusively announced in The Inter Ocean yesterday morning, is not thought to be damaged. About thirty tons of coal (fuel) was thrown overboard, and also a quantity of her cargo of corn, but how much is not known. A private dispatch estimates the quantity at 10,000 bushels. Tho cargo is insured for $52,800 on one certificate, that of the Union, of Pennsylvania but the Cargo Pool, of course, share in the loss, whatever it is. WAS A STEAMER BURNED ? St. Joseph, Mich., Aug. 8.—At -S o'clock to-night a bright light was seen off this port, about southwest Just before dark a steurn-barge was seen on the same course.

The death of Daniel Lyo>ns at his horao in Oswego, was briefly announced in thefimt edition of The Intsb Ocean Tfmraday morning. Mr. Xjyons was stricken with paralysis about a week ego, but he rallied, and hi:3 Iriends were encouraged to believe that he would recover. He improved gradually, but slowly, until Wednesday afternoon, when alarming: symptoms sec in and his family were warned to prepare for the worst. About 6 o'clock he awoke?, recognized those at his bedside, and endeavored Co speak. He soon alter became naeonsciotiffi, and sank until 9 o'clock, when he died. Mr. Lyons was burn iu County Cork, , Ireland, in 1827, and moved to Oswego when he was 17 years old. He was a poor boy, but possessed pluck and perseverance that won the admiration of all with waom he came in contact. He first entered the ship chandlery of C. 0. Cooper, on "Water street, near his present t location, and in a short time became a pj oner. Sir. Cooper at his death was succeeded by his eon James, whose interest Mr. Lyons bought B'.mc years after. iUr. George 0. Finney (now of Chicago) then became associated in tho "business, which was conducted under the name ol Lyons <& Finney, and was ".veil kiAtwn over the great lakes. A branch .house was established in Chicago several years; ago, of which Mr. Fmaey took charge, and in connection with ship chaudllery the firm did a large business in real estate. Another branch was established in iiuft'alo about three years ago, ana waaa put in charge of Mr. JSteve H. Lyons. The three houses are to-day among the most successful! on tho lakes. Two years after his arrival io Oswego Mr. Lyons married Miss Sarah Giimouir, wno survives him. He also leaves a son, Steve H., and four grown daughters, one of whom, Mrs. Frank Downey, is it a resident of Brooklyn. Mt. Lyons' success m life can be attributed to three cnar-acteristics which he possessed m a marked degree—uprightness, ability, and perseverance. 'i'o these may be added a genial disposition tfUat won scores of true and lasting friends. In his success he was not unmindful of his friends of the days when he was a jjoor lad struggling with the world, ana among the most sincere mourners who will follow him to his grave wiii be those wTho will cherish while life lasts the remembrances of his warm sympathy and substantial help. He was nevejr a seeker "for oilice, but was induced to run for alderman in a ward nd 0^we"o in the grain trade. During the past eight years deceased lived in Erie, moving theie from Chicago. He leaves a wife and daughter. Last night the captain of the canal boat W H Weaver, lying in the Commercial slip, hired a man to work on the I boat whose name he did not know. He lay down on the deck to sleep and began to breathe very hard.hut no atten-J tion was paid to him, and this morning at 5 o clock he waB"1 -found dead.
