A dispatch from the master to Captain Ira Owen, of this city, received yesterday afternoon, announces the steamship Inter Ocean ashore .on Pyramid Point and one foot out Pyramid Point is at the foot of Lake Michigan, opposite the Nortn Manitou Island. The nter Ocean ia loaded with coal from Lake Erie, and is destined for Chicago. She went on at noon yesterday in a dense fog. The master'^ dispatch does not say whether she is leaking of not. Captain Owen arranged by telegraph for the wrecking tug Leviathan to go to tne rescue,and she is probably at the scene by this time. The still weather is in the ytranded steamship's favor. If a storm Bho aid come on, however, she would fare bad: v where she is, and no time will be lost by the Leviathan. If lighters are not at hand, and if the Leviathan did not take lighters with her, tliey may have to jettison a portion of her cargo. The Inter Ocean is a line craft of 1,068 tons. She was Duilt at Detroifi by the Detroic Dry-dock Company in 1872, rates A 2, and is -valued at about $65,-000. As stated, Captain Ira Owens is the owner. There is insurance on her, but to what extent is not ascertained. Cm; 'Aco, Aug. 24.; Kingston, Aug. 20.— 250 bushels wheat. Sen wheat : J M Scott, Ch Prussia.

The vessels which experienced the heavy gales sweeping the lakes in the past two weeks are now arriving in port. Of course they have a great deal of damaged grain.

When it was being put back into the vessel again, however, the inspectors classed it the same as when first loaded, before tiie encounter with the storm and the leak—No. 3. In all, the cargo is 20,000 bushels. Whether the 250 bushels were disposed of here is not known. The cargo is insured in the Chicago Cargo Pool for $22,000, and it will be closely watched as Kingston. It, is to be hoped, for the benefit of the owners of the vessel, that the Captain entered protest before leaving here. It is not thought that the schooner TsTankee Blade's cargo of wheat is damaged. The; vessel had just been rebuilt at. a cost of $4,000. Tne ealfl was a very severe one, and lots of damaged grain is looked for at Buffalo andi Kingston and Georgian Bay ports. -----, ..,.„.

Chicago, Aug. 19.—A paper here says the lake marine is valued at one hundred million dollars.. If the owners of many of the crafts are to be believed it is; not to*day making a penny profit, Bailroads, propeller lines, and steam-barges aud tows have got Buffalo grain rates down so low that there is no profit, and sail vessels finite to keep out of the trade. On the Kingston route the Canadians have cut rates all to pieces. It is said that the Northern Transit Company will establish a semi-weekly linie of boats between Chicago and Oswego in the near futuire. Two steamers of 1,200 tons each will be built for this pmrpose as soon as possible. An agent of the line believes fchat the freight eau be shipped to Oswego cheaper than to Buffalo. The en-* larged Welland Canal will give Oswego many advantages over Buffalo in the grain, merchandise, and passenger ¦ trades. FREIGHTS AND CHARTERS. BUFFALO, Aug. 16.—Coal freights unchanged.

He certainly did not have the appearance of a drinking man. The idea that he has run away is not entertained by anyone. The belief is growing that he has been foullv murdered, and that his body will soon be found in the creek. The matter was almost the sole touic of conversation on tte docks ana along "Water, Kinzie and Canal streets yesterday, and. much speculation and guess work was indulged iu. "Who is that fellow on board the Australia as mate?" asked several observing people talked with during the day; "maybe h'i knows something of the where- . auouts oi tne captain." The reporter assured them he DID NOT KNOW THE MATE, hut supposod he was some good man or he wouldn't be there. The reporter interviewed numerous people as to whether Captain Green had been seen, but got uo clew, umess tnis is one. The bridge-tender at Wells street saw several "rounders," as be calls them, have a man "in tow" several days ago whom they calied "Captain," and whom they were tasing to some place where boxing-gloves could be lound. The "Captain" was drunk, and w.mted to oox, aud the "ooys" said they were humoring him. Tne "Captain" evidently bad money.

Davis, of Muskegon. As yet tne police have taken no steps In matter. It is not known indeed that, it has beea reported to them. The vessel is moored on rfortn side of the river opposite the lumber market and tbe mate and crew are on board. MYSTERIOUS NOTES. Late last nignt the following note, scrawled on . a sheet of note paper, was received at THE INTER Ocean office: "Your reporter is hunting up me captain of the Australia. Don't be alarmed. Eie is only off on a drunk. Tne vessel has oflen been here for a week at a time before."' And since the above is given, tne following received by mail yesterday morning, m well be put m type: "If you want a pointei on the Austrada man, inquire at Canary's. The mate ought to know all about the captain." Neither of these notes had a signature, and no importance is attached to them. The fact th.it parties take the trouble to «snd them may m<.*&n something, however. What is meant by "Canary's*' is not known. No such boarding-house or place could be learned of by the reporter. Captain Green wore a gold watch and chain, and had about $:iOO with him...._ s A Particulars have come to hand of the shocking death of Capt.

The deceased was a Sootochman, a native of Edinburgh, ana came to this ©ountTy In 18U;>.

The Scott was on her port tacls, while the Taylor was running with almost a free sheet when the accident occurred. The Taylor came bow ou striking the Scott just aft o£ the foremast on the port side and breaking her rail. She also carried away tne mizzen forward shrouds aud main topmast rigging, besides knocking a hole in her quarter and breaking several stanchions. Tue Taylor lost her jibboom and INSTANTLV KILLED. A most distressing and fatal accident occurred about one o'clock in the afternoon, by which, without a moment's warning, a useful member of the community was launched into eternity. It appears that the steamer Princess of Wuies was about to make a trip to the Island from (feddes' Wharf when the engineer. John Kennedy, found that the engine was " on the centre," and Could not be started without the wheel being turned with the foot. He went into the wheel-house to "pry her off," unfortunately leaving the throttle of his engine open and the steam full on. Immediately he touched tho wheel it flew round at top speed, carrying him with it and killing him instantly. The body was much bruised, tiie principal injury, being to tho victim's head, which had a deep gash on top six or seven inches in length, and a smaller one on the side. The remains were conveyed tot-he morgue, as the young man's wife and four children are at present spending' a holiday with his father at Ottawa, and he was lodging at Mrs. AtuSherry's on the Esplanade. The coroner was notified and viewed the body, but of course did not consider an inquest necessary. Ho is understood to have stated that apart from other injuries, that on the top of Kennedy's head would have proved fatal, though it is probable the force with which ho was hurled beneath tho water also helped to shorten his fearful sufferings. An incident occurred in connection with the sad affair of a very pathetic character. The brother of Kennedy is engineer on the propeller Cuba, which vessel happened to arrive from Ogdensburg very shortly .alter the accident, and he was hastening to greet his brother when he heard the astounding news of his death, which at first seemed impossible. Tiie body of the deceased, who .was Laged 23 years, will be removed to his brother's treKidcnoe at 28S Wilton-avenue. The funeral will tafee place this afternoon. IN SINKINa CONDITION.
