The new steamer George Spencer, now building at Qunyle's Son's ship yard, Is pro¬ gressing finely, and It Is thought She will be ready to go Into the water on Saturday.

The law w lilch sailors have- tried to get through Cpngiess for a ntimbet of years, making It a penal offense to send out unseu- worthy vessels, has just been paused, and owners who keep old hulks tied up until the high fall rates tempts them to tit out will, In the future, be very Judicious.

Casper Curlton.'englneeron the river boot Valley Mills, committed suicide Tuesday morning by jumping from the boat Ijito the river. Carlton came down at the time to' go to work us usual, but he was Intoxicated and the captain discharged him. He was 83 years old. His parents reside In Buffalo. Tim Inter Oceiin Informs us that the Oge¬ maw is a tine steambarge and was built last winter at Oscoda for the Chicago lumber trade. The steambarge Ogemaw was built at St. < lair by Langelln 1881, and was'sohl by Woods, Perry & Co.,nf Cleveland, to Pen oyer Bros, last winter. She Is 025 new tons burden, classed Al and is valued at $54,000. While John Doran, fireman of the tug Patrick Henry, was at work on the bollei last Thursday, one of the pipes burst and let a jet of steam on his back, burning him severely. The unfortunate man, crazed with palnr-jumped-OTcrbonrdTinTnwam across the river. Clambering up on the dock, he run a short distance and once more plunged in the stream, making 1)Ib way to Smith's dock, where he was taken in charge and conveyed home. The steumboige Fred Kelley, Captain Fick, is In Globe drydock. She has been laboring under a mysterious leak for three or four yours, and litis been docked three or fotir times every season lor tho purpose of discovering It, every time unsuccessful, how¬ ever. Captain Flck, for three years master of the Alcona, determined on finding the leak, traced It to the stern, and on the re¬ moval of a piece of false shoe, which had been placed there three or four years ago, tho water, ten feet of which had been Lpumpcd Into her, poured out In a stream. An exaniluutlon showed a bolt hole, along¬ side of the bolt fastening the shoe. The workman had probably struck iron In bor¬ ing the first hole and drove the bolt in a second hole, neglecting to stop the first. The uoiklugof the wheel had broken the two holes into one, hence the leak. Ail Iron shoe wllfbo put on after the hole Is slopped, anil a new wheel. Unsuccessful efforts have been made to leain where this neglect oc- curied. Captain Fick deserves a new log for locating the mischief. IBCANABA. ^fecial to the Marine Jtecord. While the steamburge Oscar Townscnd was on Gull Island, an. explosion occurred on her, which resulted In the serious Injury of uu engineer. He had gone into the vessel's forecastle', taking with hliu a lantern Suddenly a loud report was heard, uhiuh, on being Investigated, proved that an ex¬ plosion had occurred In the forecastle, and the onglncei was taken out cousbleiably injured about the head. The force of thee.\- pluslon blew out the lorward bulkhead. The cause of the explosion is a mystery, but the most plausible theory Is that the gas gonenu- ing from the eoaj of the steumpump hollers on deck had passed Into the forecastle and exploded when the lump was taken in there by the engineer. i Tho steamship City of Cleveland, and sclioonors Smvclund, T. P. Sheldon and Cam¬ den arrived from Milwaukee. E G. TOUT AUTUUlt. No efforts have jot been made to raise the steamer J. S. Seiiveins, which went to the bottom of Lake Superior several weiks ago, while bound from Chicago to Port Aitliur. The boat bad a valuable cargo, but it Is quite doubtful If either tho cargo or tho boat ever reach the surface ngaln. ' cniCAOO. . Sptctal to the Marine Record, 'the schooner James B. Sawyer has been towed to Millet's shipyard for repairs'to her stern, which was damaged by the big barge Brunette running Intp her. The work will tuko nearly two weeks' before it Is completed. The annual report of the Marine Hospital Is, nearly ready to be forwarded to Washing- ton. It shows that 4,105 persons have been treated during the year ended June 30,1884- Of this number 3,432 were treated onsldo the hospital' and 073 wero received at tjie Institution. These figures are considerably larger than the figures for last year. The schooner Maine, lumber laden from Manistee, towed up the river with her Hag at half must. Captain Christopher reported that a sailor named Martin Tyuxson fell overboard Friday night and was lost. He wnsalolt shifting ii-rafe, and his foot slipped- from the foot rope, precipitating him Into the lake. The deceased was about 42 years old and leaves a wife and family In destitute circumstance* in Norway. lie had been on the Maine three, seasons. The wreckers at work on the sunken sand carrier, the Imperial, have so tar succeeded as to bring her decks almost to tho surface, and hope to have her afloat this forenoon. She will be taken to Miller's dtydock at once, where an examination of her hull will be made. The examination made by Rosel Downer tends to confirm pie theory that the sinking of the Imperial was not so much the result of an accident as It was mal'clous de-, 'sign or negligence on the part ot the ofllcore of some steam craft. Captain DeWolf, master of the steambarge Wetmore, says that It mis not his vessel which ran down tho schooner BayStatooff Bailey's Harbor last week, although the crew of the Bay State at first believed that It was her, and so reported it upon their ui- rlval here. Tho master ol the Bay State Is anxious to know who did It, and has begun Inquiries which wlH_nj»bably lead to the finding ol tlie 6trangecraft. The first license Is'sued to a yacht under the Bpechil license act of 1873, was made out tor the little River Queen In the Chicago Custom House The law makes the cost of the license for all pleasure boats under twenty tons only $5, and the fee lor mcasur lug 10 cents per ton. The schooner Gilbert ICnopp, of Kenosha, Captain Moloney, |s In the Chicago Drydock Company's dork getting a leak stopped; tim¬ ing Thomas Hood Is getting hoc hot- torn calked, Harry Fox & (Jo's No. 4 diedge Is getting her crane fixed and some calking; the steambarge T. W.

Van Schalck had her deck calked; schooner Milwaukee Belle Is getting some tepalis. There was a large fleet of vessels on the lumber market Monday, but by Tuesday night nearly all the cargoes had been sold and the vessels gone to their docks 10 un¬ load. The lumber shovers must be earning lots of money if the \ easels are not. The Anchor Line schoonei Schuylkill is In Miller Brothers' drydock Jo get .i leak stopped; the schooner J. D Sawyer Is get¬ ting a new stern and her cabin fixed. Tho tug Flossie Thielcke is getting considerable- repairs and calking, the steamer I.nurence got u piece of new keel and a new shoe, the scow Moses Gage had a leak stopped. The steambarge Emma E. Thompson, having had a thorough rebuild, which will give her two feet more beam and increaso'her depth of hold 17 Inches, went out of drydock on the 2d of July. Freight rates are active at 1J43 for corn, and 2c for wheat to Buffalo; 5'jU for corn and fl^e lor wheat to New York via lake and canal. The yacht Verve, which has been brought from Scotland, Is of tho following dimen¬ sions. Length over all, 48 feet; beam, 7 feet 0 Inches, depth ol hold, 7 feet. She thaws 7 feet 8 Inches of wolei and carries ten tons of lead, which is molded Into her bottom. Sho Is eleven tons register and spreads 1,400 j ards of canvas when racing. E.

The stetiinoiirgcs City of New Yoik and Cumberland wcie In collision on'liiesilay at Chicago, the result of which is a hole in the New York's quarter, which will involve $1,000 and a week to repair, beside $200 to Cutler A White's lumber dock. It Is said the'New York tried the monopoly oodge. The steamer Peerless, of the Luke Michi¬ gan and Lake Superior line, left foi Luke Superior last Tuesday evening with a largo number of passengers. All 1 er state looms were filled. The line steambarge Ogemaw, of Oscoda, Captain Thomns Cowan, arrived Monday morning on her first visit to this port. Her tow consisted of the City of the Straits, Ag¬ nes and E. C. Roberts, and together they brought to our lumber yards over 2,000,000 feet of lumber. Hur.ry Estley U In command.

It Is cotislderd a useless job to attempt to get her out. She ran ashoro last full in the hlg Novembor northwester, and thoetloiis made then to release her proved futile.
