Wallace, owned by Palmer and Bohbatn while at anchor In the Sault river was run Into by the Goshawk and lost her jlbboom. The tng Sampson, with her tow, arrived at Port Arthur on Sunday, the Johnaon with coal from Aahtubula, the Queen City with coal from Buffalo, and the rGoshawk with coal from Charlotte. Captain Wm.

It la said the Republic Iron Company have Introduced a new feature on their boats. Every veaael la provided with a small out select library, Consisting of Interesting/ works of Action, travels, history, etc. Tbea< are for the use of the crew, and cannot fail to have a good eflect. . Tho poor facilities for handling coal at Port Arthur la a serious drawback to Its prosperity. A large amount of tonnage hns been lying at that port for n week on this account and will probably not get a chance to discharge before the first ot June. Sev¬ eral vessels bound there with coal have been directed to proceed to Dnluth with their cargoes. Beginning Friday, June Otli, the handsome steamer Atlantic, of Grummond's Maclnac line, will extend the regular trip to Maclnac and St. Ignace, on to Petoskey, Harbor Springs and Chui'levolx, leaving tlio Cleve¬ land Forwarding Company's" Wharf, foot of Superior street, at 8 o'clock p. m.

After her experience aihdre off Erie street In the winter of 1881 the was converted lnt.oabarge and made a good business lust season tor her owners the Messrs. Smith under their con¬ tract on the breakwater. She has been 'thoroughly overhauled and recalked throughout and repainted; given * new centerboard box and a new cabin. But pec- haps the largest Improvement Is the taking' out of the one spar she had in her and giving her again In her history the schooner rig, a 'ore, a main and a uilzzeu uiast She will '•oeive her outfit from Mr. Gallughei's loft, whlpli will Include wire rigging. The Bald' win will load coal for Portage and go In WW of the Sprague. ' . V. D.

She took water, freely but managod to reach the slip' near Smith's drydock, where she sunk- A diver placed a canvas Jacket over the hole and she was ruined, and pumped out. The schooner Shawnee went on Smith's drydock yesterday. A change should be made In the light on the east end of the breakwater. , 'PoaL rates are Improving aomewhatmnd, there Is a steady demand for tonnage. Charters were reported1 Tuesday of the schooner Maria Martin, coal, Toledo to Ra- xine,80o; schooner Champion, coal, Cleve¬ land to .Milwaukee, 70c; schooner H. A.

An effort was made a dity or two slnco by the United States Marshal at this port, to sell at auction the schooner Bablreau & Gaudrey Which has not been fitted out thus far this season. As no one would bid above • f|J70, the sale was further postponed. She be W08 built at Three Rivers in 1866, and is 160 tons burden. The object of the sale is to obtain a clear title to the vessel. Ids jiow announced in the Detroit papers that"H. W. Granger, United Stujcs Inspec¬ tor of boilers at this port, has resigned that position to assumo the management of u manufacturing company. The barge Mary Stockton, w tilth met with disaster on Lako Erie, was another ot the old relics of by-gone days, h ivlng been built at Sheboygan, on Lake Mlohlgan, In 1852, and registers 347 tons burden. In early timeu she was looked upon hs one of the finest barkci|tlnes on the lakes. She was gotten safely Into port. The new steamer Energy, built at Wallaoebur'g, Ont., to ply between that place and Detroit, has'made her appearan.ee here and will soon commence her regular trips, making three trips per week. She Is 8t feet long, 20 feet beam and 0 leet depth of hold. The propeller Wm. M. Alderaon, Captain David Fostir, arrived-of Windsor on Satur¬ day from Port Dover, Lako Eric, and it Is stated will ply between Detroit and Chat¬ ham, making dally trips. She is 08 tons burden and can carry salolv^OO excursion¬ ists. She Is a well gotten up craff and will doubtless receive a liberal patronage, not¬ withstanding there la one boat alicudyon the route. The new steaihahlpa which recently went to Owen Sound to plysfrom ,there to Lake .Superior, are credited Vjth making better time than all othera runnlnjr-from that port, even surpassing the far-famed Oninpunii, wblcb, heretofore, wne conaldered the cham¬ pion fnr speed. The schooner Hartford left Wednesday with wheat for Oawego from this port, lack¬ ing 1,000 bushels of a full cargo. The tug Michigan haa been dismantled and her machinery placed In the tug Prlngle, The Michigan has something of a history. She was built nt Point Edward, on the river St. Clair, In 1850, for the Grand Trunk rail¬ way, to ply as a steam ferry, and coat 120,- 000; burthen, 456 tons. After being sold by' the company, she towed toi a while on the lakea and riverai Lutteaay she has been used for wrecking, and answered well for that purpose. The steamei Algomah, which had such a routine of mishaps during the winter in the Straits of Mackinaw, has finally been brought here to be strengthened up. Her shaft Is to be straightened, and other atten¬ tions are necessary whlcii could not be car¬ ried out at tire above place. A new tug named the C. W. Wells, built at Marine City, lias been towed to this city for her machinery. Length, 70 feet; beam, 14}£ feet; hold, 7^ feet; coat, (8,000. Cap - tain Thos. M. Hubbell, of this cjty, is the owner. A report has been In circulation that the Canadian propeller Prussia ha'd sunk, in Lake Superior, but at this writing It needB confirmation. The propeller China came down on Saturday night, but had no intel¬ ligence to thnt end. Lying »t n wharf to-day was the barge Genessee Chief, formerly a proneller,bullt at at Genossee, on Lake Ontario, 38 years ago, and at that period was a boat of handsome finish and design. She Is yet as straight as nn arrow and w 111 probably hold together for several years more. The endurance of some of these old settlers Is wonderful. A heavy fog prevailed lust night on Lake Huron and In the rlveis. Alurgo fleet of steam anirsnil cnift were compelled to an¬ chor outside of tho river St. flair uud the steambarge R. J. Hackett and consort had to lay at anchor nbove the Limekiln. There liavo been no reports of accidents arising therefrom. Sailors prefer u gale of wind to a fog. The schoonor Benedict, which stranded at Bear Rump Island, In Georgian Buy, It Is thought may yet be'saved. Hercaptuln tins received Instructions to douse the curgo overboard, if there are no other means of disposing of it. There are decidedly too many harbor tugs at thlB port, and those who were so keen to come on in opposition to the old line are be¬ ginning to And It out, aa several are. lying Idle a greater part of the time. All preach the aame gospel and all stick closely to the same text, yet this does not meet expenses. The conversion ot sail craft into tow barges la almost of dally occurrence,and the time not far distant when the laat of what was onco the pride and ornamentation of the lakes will have disappeared, supplanted by steam- bargea and sparless hulks bereft of their former^Xttraoilons. The schooner Grace Murray was thus disposed ot a few days since at this port. Captain John Vamor, of your city, and for several years Cleveland's harbor master, has arrived In this city and met with many of his bid shipmates and friends. He Is »• true sailor of the olden t(mo and generous to .a fault. John Demass has- bought the centrifugal pump in this city, and is fitting It up for wrecking purposes. The tugs I. U. Master and Stranger were disposed of at auction yesterday. The-for- mer was purchased by R A. Murpby, the latter T)y Captain Hiram Ives, the prloes, respectively being |3,986 and $3,825. They belonged to the H. N. Strong estate. Both went at low figures. There Is but little change fn lake freights. Stavea are shipped from Detroit to Buffalo at last quotations, (4, (6, and $8. Wheat to Ogdensburg at 4%o, to Oswego at 4c, and to Bpffalo at 2c per bushel. Tho following charters were reported Monday In Detroit: Sohobner George Sherman, coal, Cleveland to St. Ignace, 65c per ton: H. Dudley, coal, Lorain to Goderlch, 40c per ton, and wood and cedar from Golden Valley to Detroit, $2 per cord; Flat Wing, hardened lumber, East Jordon to Detroit, private terms; scow Charlie Crawford and steambarge W. P. Thew, lumber, Port Crescent to Cleveland,.. $1.60 per M; scow Alvlns, dry lumber, FrentlsB Bay to Detroit,$1 75 per M The Detroit river Is sufficiently broad and navigable for all practical purposes, yet It will not do to dump any refuse In this beau¬ tiful stream any more than It would be al¬ lowable In Cleveland harbor. For such an offense the captain of a tug and the owner of a dredge were fined $5 each. It was paid In both instances. J. w. H. MARqUCTTE. Tho barge Potts is at Marquette with her engines « recked, both cylinder heads hav¬ ing blown out and other parts broken. She had been laying helpless In the Ice outside Marquette for three days, until ploked up by the barge Smith Moore, op Saturday morn¬ ing. She will be towed to Detroit, whore she Is owned bv F. Ncster » She was bound for Lake Linden with coal. The schooner Lotus which was In oollls- lou with the schooner Maxwell off Rncine last week, completed repairs, ami sailed for Marquette. l'OKT HLHON. Special to the Mirme Rtcord 1 he schooner Two Fannies was run into by the steambarge I'eoumseli, which was coining inio the river during a heavy fog. The Two Funnies lost her bowsprit, hoad- gear, jlbboom and cutwater. There is no damage to the Tccuinsoh. Everything stopped on account of tho fog. Mr. Coe,' United States local Inspector of steamboats at Port Huron, gave license to a Canadian engineer for the steamer Evening Star, pljlng between Detroit and Toledo, and the fact coming to the knowledge of the engineers of rort Huron, they took steps to defeat the action by applying to a lawyer, who referred (hem to the United States Pros¬ ecuting Attorney, with the Information that they had^a good cueo as the Inspector had laid himself liable. They after- terwnrd called on Mr. Coe mid explained to him that they considered ho had done the Amerlban engineers nn injustice In making this appointment and desired him to with¬ draw the license, stilting the result of their conference with the lawyer.
