The schooner Delaware came in yesterday after along and boisterous passage from Erie, haying occupied nineteen days performing it- &ue is minus her centerboard. iLbss flU'Mte northwest. I( A collision, resulting in the loss of a fine vessel and a valuable cargo, occurred tenor ]j twelve miles off Kenosha before daylight (about 4 o'clock! yesterday morning. The colliding craft were the schooner F. L. Dan-/, forth, Captain "WoodrulV, coal loaded anflf bound for Chicago, and the schooner Northwest, Captain Midlam, with a grain cargo, bound out of Chicago for Buffalo. The night was clear, and, as the statement goes, the lights of the Danforth were seen by the Northwest half an hour before the vessels came together. "Which master was to blame The Intei; Ocean does not propose to pass upon. The wind at the time £was northwest, and the schooner Northwest was close-hauled and by the wind, heading north-northeast. The Danforth came stem on, and, striding the Northwest on the port bow, cut j luto her hull almost to the foremast. Both large vessels and heavily laden, the concus-sion was tremendous, and as it was evident in an instant that the Northwest must sink the captain and crew took to the Danforth, and saw their fine vessel .go to the bottom head-foremost. For fully a minute ' she stood head down with thirty feet of the keel alt above th« surface, and then settled into an upright position on the bottom, only the tops jof her spars remaining in view. Fifteen minutes from the time the Danforth struck her the Northwest sunk. The Danforth was not damaged in hull to any extent, although for some time after the accident the gravest fears were entertained as to her condition. She escaped with the loss of her bob-stays, cutwater, part of her stem, jibboom, main topmast, and squaresail yard. i After the Northwest luid sunk the Danforth proceeded on her way to this port, and arrived yesterday afternoon. The cargo of the lost vessel, about 2P.OO0 bushels of corn, was owned and shipped by i W. T, Baker & Co., ant! was consigned to William Meadows, of Buffalo. It is insured as follows: Traders'. *.i,000; Orient, $5,000; ¦ Mutual, $4,500. The vessel was owned by the Hoi:. Wiley 31. Egan, of this citv.

Special Telegram to The inter Ocean.] Pokt Huron, Mich., Oct. 15.—The steam barge New York left Cove Island, Georgian Bay, Friday, with the schooner Butcher Boy and the barges Nellie McGilvra and B. J. Carney in tow. Land was sighted at Point au Barques yesterday forenoon. The sea was running montains high, when the Butcher Boy's tow line parted and separated her from the steam barge. Shortly after he New York commenced leaking, and every effort was made 'to get her into shoal water. Meanwhile the water was gaining fast and drowned out the tires. The propeller was then at the'mercy ot the waves, twelve miles from land, between Port Hope and SlicI-ueaeh. A signal of distress was hoisted, which was not seen by the propeller and two large -ohooners wm h passed her at 11:30. The crow, sixteen in number, including one woman, ear-barked in the yawlboat. Captain y tQuael Galvin being the last to get into the boat. in twenty minutes afterward the propeller v%Jut down. For live hours and a half they were at the mercy of the sea. which, from all appearances, was the heaviest of the season. The boat was drifting helplessly into the lake, the wind being north, northwest, and the weather cotd, with frequent squalls and snow. Waves dashed over the '•pen boat, which had a foot of water in her ail the time. The crew were all benumbed, and eould not have survived another Ave hours, whet the little schooner Nemesis hove in sight. Bhi was commanded by Cautain Spence. of uf Southampton, who, with three others, comprised her heroic crew. The Nemesis was were around twelve times at imminent peril to herse:; and succeeded in taking the crew of the New York on board, with the exception of "William Sparks, lireman, of Buffalo, who, in climbing aboard, fell between the boat and vessel, and was drowned, The Nemesis' crew, in their noble effort, are entitled to credit for one of the bravest actions on record. The little vessel lost nearly her entire deck load of tan-bark while wearing around. Every comfort that their limited accommodations afforded was placed at the disposal of the shipwrecked crew, who arrived here at midnight last night. The schooner Butcher Boy, with the the barges McGilvra and Carney in in tow, both of which were waterlogged, arrived here about the same time. The barges have been pumped out, and will be towed to Bu"falo. Captain Galvin deserves special commendation for saving the lives of the crew in the yawlboat by careful management. , -¦.. ¦- ¦¦¦¦ - - ¦<mm ,, . "---------------JJ'AELKN INDISGRAOE.

The Odd Fellows were suspicious, and appointed a committee to investigate. They traced i Captain Hearnes out, had him arrested, and taken to Cleveland, where he^ is now con-fined in jail. The Leader of Monday says: "A committee from the Old Fellows ealled on Captain Hearnes on Saturday, and had quite a talk with him, but declined to make any of his communications public', or to outline any of theii future course in the matter. They still see thai he is well supplied from a neighboring eatind house." Tuesday's Leader says: "The Messrs. Hearnes appeared in the police court yesterday! afternoon and waived examination.

Wilcox attorney for the insurance company, has received! notice to stop proceedings against the father as] regards it, but to push the son to the full extent] of the law." It is seen that Captain Hearnes finds himself in' a most unenviable position. It is not likely that| he will be prosecuted and given a term of imprisr onment, but his disgrace will hang heavily upon him- The Captain is , wed known on the lakes, and has Deen respected and esteemed by all.

The Inter Ocean, as usual, furnishes the infor mation of the first departure of lake vessels tor Europe. The craft this season wili be the barke Hemisphere, owned in Chicago. She is now load-ins at Quebec and will leave in a few days for the United Kingdom. The owner, Captain James Considine, goes: over on her, a master being appointed at Quebec. There has been some effort, we believe, to keep the fact of her departure for foreign parts quiet, but our Quebec correspondent is equal to the emergency, and gives us the n^ws. It will be remembered that last season the vessel was chased all tho way down tho lakes by chartered tugs in the interest of creditors. The captain, however, was too sharp for the creditors and their attorneys or their chartered tugs either, and succeeded in getting out ot their clutches. It is not believed that the Hemisphere will ever again return to the lakes. What makes her departure of particular interest is the fact that one of her most unrelenting enemies—a creditor, of course —is a Chicago man. and the manager of a I ug line, whose office is riot a thou-sond miles from the corner of Water and ErankHn streets. It is thus seen that the Hemisphere's is a forced departure, but she nevertheless gets a paying freight. Other vessels, not in trouble, will bo leaving for Europe during the season. One of these is the bark Summer Cloud, announced several days ago as going to Muskegon to load deals for Quebec. On her arrival at the latter place, if a good freight is ottered on her deals or on some other commodity, she will cross the Atlantic. The schooner Hungarian is already on her way to .Quebec, and the Lincoln Dall has left with the Summer Cloud for Muskegon to load for Quebec. There is a chance that the Hungarian may cross "the briny," but it is not thought that the Lincoln Dall will be sent out. Special Telegram to The luter-Oneau.l Muskegon. Mich., April ;;o.—The schooner Hungarian, of Chicago, cleared for Quebec to-day w^h 290,000 feet o| deals from Kyerso" HiiLs & Co.'s mill. -* t***~ More Sales. j^^^^^^^^^— I "Vessel Sales of Detroit.-The tug Urania, for [many years the favorite harbor tug at that port. land which was reported sold a few days since, is going to Sand Beach Harbor, where she will be sengaged this season in towing barges out and in. ifThe schooner Wayne has been sold by Captain [Edward Mayes to Chicago parties for $12,000 icash. She is a finely appointed craft of 22,000 bu. vapacity, and is only two years old, rating A 1. Her original cost was $21,000. but it is believed that she could now be duplicated for $14,000. This makes the purchase price a very fair one. and goes along way to show returning confidence in floating property. ^^^^^^^^^^^^MM
