IN MARINE CIRCLES.

The Donnelly Salvage and Wrecking company has acquired a barge which will be used as a lighter to replace the Grantham, which was abandoned when she went ashore up the lake this summer. John Donnelly was in Buffalo last week and bought the barge Eleanor from A. Weston & Co., lumber merchants, of North Tonawanda. She is 162' x 32' beam, with a depth of hold of 11 feet. The Eleanor was expected in port on Monday in tow of the tug Bartlett. The machinery which was taken from the Grantham will be immediately installed in her.

After the steamer Kingston had cleared from Swift's wharf at five o'clock on Sunday afternoon it was discovered that a pin in one of the buckets of her port wheel was broken. The R. & O. passenger liner was brought into the water works wharf where the bucket was removed. The Kingston left at 6:20 o'clock. It was her last trip this season. She will winter in Toronto.
