THE ANNUAL EVENT.

Toronto, July 14th - Seven Richelieu & Ontario Navigation company wine clerks were each fined $200 and costs or three months in jail for selling liquor without a license. All pleaded guilty and all paid.

Shouldn't these men be fined for every offence instead of once a season." he was asked.

"Certainly, every day." said Chief License Inspector Burroughs, "but I shall do just as has been done before me and that in this case has been once a season."

DAMAGED DRILL SCOW

Has Come To Kingston to be Repaired.

The drill scow belonging to Simpson Brothers of Montreal, which was damaged by lightning igniting dynamite, last Wednesday, in the middle channel about 20 miles from Gananoque, is at the Forwarders Limited wharf. It was towed up the river on Saturday evening by the Donnelly steamer Saginaw and will be repaired here, later going into the shipbuilding company's dock. John Donnelly is in charge of the work

Glancing at the scow in her wrecked state, it seems a wonder the men working at the time were not killed. They miraculously escaped. All the framework is badly damaged, the boiler displaced, and parts of the machinery will have to be renewed.

When Coal Barge Anna Belle Wilson Went Down.

James Mullen, a well-known Kingston sailor, was saved when the coal barge Anna Belle Wilson went down in thirty feet of water Saturday afternoon, when en route to Erie, Pa. to Port Colborne towed by the tug Meteor. The barge went down just outside of Dunkirk, N.Y. harbor about 1 p.m.

Capt. "Barney" McIntyre, well-known in marine circles in Kingston was drowned.

The tug Meteor has been in Kingston on several occasions.

A despatch from Dunkirk, N.Y., Saturday afternoon, said:

The Anna Belle Wilson, a coal barge en route from Erie, Pa., to Port Colborne, towed by the tug Meteor, went down in thirty feet of water just outside of the Dunkirk harbor this afternoon at one o'clock.

The three members of the crew were saved. The boat has a capacity for about 1,000 tons of coal. She left Erie this morning and experienced no trouble until near Dunkirk, when in trying to make the harbor for safety the cargo shifted and she foundered, shipping an immense quantity of water and almost without warning went under.

Those saved were Albert Blundell, Port Dalhousie, Ont.; James Mullen, Kingston, Ont.; and Harry Simmons, Erie, Pa. Capt. McIntyre, according to the crew went back into the cabin for his money and was there when the boat went down.
