A MAN DROWNED.

Blind River, Sept. 8th - A distressing accident occurred Friday night when the steamer Germanic collided with the fishing tug Victoria K., sending her to the bottom on Lake Huron, and resulting in the death of Donald McDonald. The Germanic was in the channel coming into Blind River port, and the Victoria K. was bound for Meldrum Bay. Through a mistake of signals, Engineer Bellrose, of the Victoria K., saw that an accident could not be averted, and reversed the engines, but not in time to prevent a collision. Had he not done so, the Germanic would have struck the Victoria K. midships.

p.4 Gananoque, Sept. 8th - ....The coal schooner Briton finished discharging her cargo at the sheds of the Steel Company of Canada, since when she has been engaged making a few necessary repairs, and cleared light for Sodus for another cargo yesterday.

FUTURE OF OUR HARBOUR

The area in the vicinity of the Grand Trunk railway depot, lying partly in the city of Kingston and partly in the township of Storrington, must be recognized as that which will, in the coming years, be the scene of a new industrial life. Its one disadvantage is the inaccessibility to water frontage under present conditions and it will be for the city to consider whether, with the construction of the new bridge, the lower harbor cannot be very much improved. In connection with the new bridge, there are to be two large wharves, and they will be used for winter service especially, and should cause the laying up here of several of the passenger steamers that ply upon the lake and river, and for the usual spring outfitting. Standing upon the Cataraqui bridge, and looking up the Cataraqui river, one can see what a great harbor Kingston will have if the marsh be dredged out and water communication carried to the depot. The industrial area aforesaid will sooner or later demand the dredging, and when it takes place the Great Cataraqui basin will be the busiest spot in all the lake ports. Some of this may be regarded as the recital of a dream, but a dream that will before long become true.
