Captain Alex Quinn, of the tug Robert Tarrant, charged with "malicious imischief," "making threats," "disorderly conduot," etc.—no charge of murder—was before Justice Kaufman n yesterday, or rather, his case wais. Reporters from all the papers were present to short-hand the proceedings, it being suppogiert that the Captain had murdered somebody and stolen a horse and carried oil' the1 widow, but iit seems that it is simply alleged that he forced the schooner Imperial through State street bridge one day last week—or, perhaps, one night last week. The bridge tenders don't sleep so roundly in theday-timo as they do at night. 'The reporters were disappointed because the coiurt didn't sentence the Captain to be hanged, and wrent away mad, and bonds being given, the case was then continued to Dec. 5. __^^*m^mmmm*m*—. 1 HELVETIA IN TELE BLOW. A SEAMAN LOST 0VERD0AED IN THE STEAITS-j The iarge schooner Helvetian, coal loaded from below, came to anchor off Chicago Tuesday night ahd was brought in by tine tugs Union and Protection, of the V. O. T., yesterday morning. The captain reports stormy, cold weather and heavy snow in the Straits amd on this lake. While in the Straits on Fridaw, Edward Fisk, a seaman, who had gone aloft am duty, fell from 1 the mainmast head into the (driving sea below, j It was blowing and snowing att the time ana was very cold. Fisk had on his oil! skins and mittens, which made him clumsy at best. It is supposed, however, that he biecame benumbed from the coid, and the sad accident was the re- , suit. The small boat was lauinched with Mate Ellison and three seamen in it,, but it not only failed to find Fisk but narroiwiy escaped loss with its whole party. The Helvetia could not pick up the boat and ran back to anchorage, and the boat finally reached her tinere. The vessel lost two of her sails. Poor Fisk was 20 years of atge, and resided with his parents at West Cleveland. Ho had been on the Helvetia two seaisons. He was a good sailor and a general favor:ite. The Helvetia will commenctu discharging her-' cargo to-day. i'.unalo Notes. Buffalo. N.Y., Nov, 29.— The schr. Bolivia, with wheat from Chicago, 'arrived yesterday, and has been stripped. She is pndmbly the !ast nailing vessel from that port this tall. She receives four cents freight for her wheat, aud will hold it during winter free of elevating, shovelling, and shortage. The steamship Clyde, with grain from Chicago arrived yesterday : she will likely take hack a cargo of coal. The cargo of the stranded schr A H Moss has been uin loaded, and her anchor placed in deep wator: The Union Line steamers Waverley, B W Blanchard, and Jay Gould are laid up here. The steambarge 1> W Powers will leave for Bay City to* day to lay up. Captain Matham yesterday removed most of the outfit of the wrecked schr J W Doane. The fast prop J Jewett started out on another trip to Chicago last evening, and will endeavour to return to this port ami lay up for the winter. It is doubtful if she will be able to accomplish so much. A good many of the anal boats leaving here last week for New York took out clearances for .Syracuse only in the expectation that if they were frozen in this winter they would save paying tolls from .Syracuse to Troy next year in consequence of a fri'o canal. On a cargo of 8,000 bu of wheat the saving would be about $45. The str Chapman and the props Lawrence and Champion down at. noon to-nlay. Carter BroC, of Port Colborne, sent over to Buffalo one of their tugs to tow the schooner Craftsman to Port Dover, where she will lay up, the tug returning to the'canal. The weather, which was thick and snowing, prevented) them leaving up to the present writing, 8 p.m. Two men named Webster and Casey, respectively captain and steersman of the canal boat D H Winaus. were at police headquarters on the supposition that they Knew something concerning a young man named Michael O'Leary, who shipped on board the boat from New York to Bulfalo, but why disappeared at Borne. Casey was heard to remark that he had fished the body out of the canal. This he denied to the authorities here, and the captain stated he had heard the story but did not believe it. They were both released, and thy fate of young O'Leary is still a mystery. Detroit Jottings. Detroit.

The showing given i below does not occupy much space, and still it is of great importance. It gives the number of ^vesseis of all descriptions that arrived at the port of Chicago the past season, compared with other seasons for ten years back, and indicates it the magnitude of onr lake commerce. The port of New York cannot make a similar showing. The past season (or the season now closing, | for. though to-day is Nov. tfO and hull insurance expires at noon, craft are still moving) opened Very early, if navigation can be said to have closed at all during the winter, of 1881-82, and there is no actual ice yet to block up our harbors. With the arrivals of today (Thursday, Nov. 30) estimated, the total number of arrivals in Chicago during the season Is 12,447; December is, of course, not included, but leaving a whole month out, this totalis greater than during any other entire season except 1880, when (including December) the number was 12,788. There will not be 341 arrivals in the coming month of December, andl880(| will have to be conceded as a larger season than jj 1882, but the latter is very large, and warrants jj some boasting. No other port on the lakes nearly equals it, and THE OEEAT SEAPOItT NEW YOKE is 3,0(1,0 vessels behind. ^Thie customs district of Chicago includes Chicago, South Chicago, and Michigan City, but the iigures dealt with here ari of Chicago alone.

The sensation grew out of the fact that the propeller F k P M Is'o 2, from Ludington, which arrived here to-day brought the captain and two of the crew of the J O Moss. The story immediately spread that t,hese three men had been picked up from a raft in midlak.e, and that the remainder of the crew had been lost. This> was happily not the case. The Mosa was one of the vessels driven ashore near Big: Point Sable in the storm of last Thursday. She will probably prove a total loss, but adl of her crew were saved. The Moss belongs at Chicago, ;and was on her way to that port, lumber laden. Her captaiin is loud in his praise of the strenuous and successful eiforcss made by the life saving crew to rescue himself and crew.. The mate of the MOB3 was the only one lest, he having been unable to keep his hold on the line and being drowned in the surf. A young sailor nam&d Rasmusseu, belonging to the wrecked Kclipse, who lost his life under . very similar circumstances, was to have been married on Thanksgiving Day. , ¦ The schooner Donaldson, Captain Bob Young, bound? from Buffalo to Chicago with a cargo of coal, was caught by the great gale of last Thursday night a few miles off Muskegon. The gale drove the Donaldson rapidly toward the beach, and in order to save the vessel both anchors were let go, and a signal for a tug hoisted. In the meantime the life-saving crew »t Muskegon put out to the Don* aMson, and took the Captain ashore to get a tug. and then returned to the vessel. Finally a tug was secured and started out to the Donaldson, who was in pretty bad shape, having lost her mainsail, foretopmast, squar«sailyard, ore-boom, foregafF, bowsprit, aud jibboom, together with everything on deck. While the vessel lay ro'ling and pitching the chain of the large anchor parted, and the anchor ana seventy five fathoms of chain were lost. Her cargo shifted, and she commenced to leak. At last the tug got a line fco her, and then commenced the stiuggle to get iier inside the harbour, which was luckily accomplished. Tlhe life crew were of great service, and did everything in their power to help the crew of the Donaldson handle the vessel The Donaldson arrived in port yesterday, and presented a sorry appearance.

A serious charge is brought aigainst the keep- j era of two of the most iniportamt lighthouses on the lakes. Captain Williams, of the propeller Chicago, which arrived here yesterday Irom j Buffalo, reports that at 11 o"clock ou Monday ! night the light at Spectacle Ilteef was out, and ; that at 5 o'clock {before da;ylight) Tuesday j morning the light at Nortbptort Point (or Cat- I head Point) was out. The ctold weather had ' evidently put the lights out, ;and the keepers, probably being asleep, had nofr discovered the ! fact. At this season the lights are more important than during the summter, and yet they were not burning. Captain Williams' under ofiicers and several of the crew corroborate his report, and the attention of the Lighthouse Department is called to the matter;.

A Times and Express reporter, who had been informed that a tine had been imposed upon the King-sford in Belleville, for towing the schooner O. M. Bond, obtained from Captain Pappa the following particulars: The offense was committed on Oct. 28. The steamer left port about 12 o'clock at night, when it was impossible to reach a customs official. The barge had a clearance for this port and the Bchooner for Milwaukee. If there had been any informality in the matter it was impossible to rectify it until Monday, and delay would have been at consideraole expense. Captain Pappa took the schooner in tow, and towed her about fifteen miles from the False Ducks. The weather was heavy during the trip, and when near Deseronto Captain Pappa was obliged to- drop his line and go to the pier for shelter while the Bond came to anchor. When the storm was over the two proceeded on their way. On the 23d of this month the collector of the port at Belleville imposed a fine of {fHOO. The ground upon which this was done was that Captain Pappa did not have the name of the Bond upon his clearance papers. The official said that if the two vessels had. cleared for the same port it would have been all right, which shows that the objection was technical. Captain Pappa was obliged to deposit a certified check for the amount before he was allowed to clear. He is of the opinion that when the matter is brought to the notice of the Minister of Marine the fine will be remitted, and it seems that, in. strict justice, it should be. The case of the Conqueror, a Canadian tug which repeatedly violated the towing law, and was fined for the offense, is thought to have i (something to do with the present one.— I Oswego Times-Dispatch THE DISASTER RECORD.
