iuc dvudvuu lutnwina lies m a very aw K ward position in the the reouth draw at Sixteenth street railroad bridge disccharging pig iron. No vessel should be oompelledd to unload at such a danger-dock, as she is in tbhe way of every craft passing up and down; and when damage is sustained or inflicted the ownerss of the dock should be asked to pay the cost off repairs. When one of the propellers was passsing the Melvina yesterday afternoon, the wind 1 caught her and caused her head to deviate a litttle. The result was that she struck the Melvina ; and broke her rail and stove in three or four plianks. The propeller escaped without injury. Iliad she sustained injury it would only be rig&ht to ask the dock owners or * the owners of the Mfelvina to pay for it. It is believed that vessels discharging cargo in the draws of bridges can be prosecuted and fined under the city ordinance aigainst vessels hauling through . the draws of bridgeas. The steamship Cit^y of Home, which was jammed at South Halsted sttreet bridge Thursday afternoon, came down the river yesterday and was again detained, thiss time two hours. The large propeller Robert sonu lies at Weaver <fe Daniels' dock, and is partly tin the best draw of the bridge. THE2 BIVEBS.

Grand Haven, Mich., June IS.—This morninj at 0 o'clock the schooner Antares, of Chicago, made this port, light, with her starboard bow cut and broken up to five planks below her plank, sheer and all her headgear down and broken.

ONE MAN KILLED AND ANTOHEK INJURED. The propeller Concstoga, of the Anchor Line, with the two large schooners Schuylkill and Annie Sherwood, coal loaded, arrived in the vicinity of Chicago at an early hour yesterday morning. As usual, the Conestoga let go the lines of the schooners a short distance down the lake and came along in, leaving the schooners to be picked up by the tugs. The "towing lines" are steel cables, and when let go of sink to the bottom. The Schuylkill's cable was being taken in on the windlass and Patrick Kerwin, second mate, and Peter Munson, a seamau, were working it. Suddenly the cable caught on something on the bottom of the lake, thought to be the wreck of the David A. Wells or Wells Burt. It tightened up with a terrible wrench, the winch broke, and the handles flew around with lightning rapidity. Mr. Kerwin was killed almost instantly and Mr. Munson had an arm broken and was otherwise injured. The tug Commodore brought the dead body of Kerwin aud the injured man Munson to the city, arid the Schuylkill and Sherwood were brought in by other boats. Mr. Kerwin's body was taken to the Morgue, and Mr. Munson was conveyed to one of the hospitals. Poor Kerwin's wound was a fearful one. He leaves a wife and grown family, who reside in Chicago. One of his daughters is the wife of Captain James Dalton. Mr. Korwin was abnul 55 years of age, and was well known along the lakes. Matt Kerwin, formerly commander of the schooner Lem Ellsworth, is a brother. Jack Kerwin is also a brother. [Matt, by the way, has been sick at his home in Oswego for two years past. I The dreadful accident was the topic of conversation in marine circles yesterday, and genuine sorrow and regret were expressed on all sides. I***"*"..... THE RIVERS.
