'Ihe Supremo Court ha\ log decided that the city ordinance to abate the smoke nui¬ sance is legal, lots more trouble and expense will be put upon the tug owners, jcho ilo their best to get tlieli work done etllciently and with iib little annoyance to the general public as possible.' Smoke consumers of all kinds have been tried, none of whlch'bave proved a success, and the burning of hard coal will not enable tlie lugs to get up ateam quickly, so that the owners and tugmen are nt a loss to know what to do. Some of them have decided to put up with the extra- ex¬ pense and Inconvenience occasioned by burn- Ing hard con I, while others determine to fight the case In other courts. The Anchor Line steamship Gordon Campbell, Captain D. Murphy, arrived here MondayJnden with coal Horn Buffalo. She did not remain out of commission but a shoit time.

The tugs Al¬ pha and Flossie Thielckc weie racing to get the tow, when the former, in endeavoring to avoid a collision w Itli the hitter, struck the sclioonor a veiy hard blow on the starboaid quurtir. The Alpha obtained the tow, bpt It will cost her dearly, as the damage done to the schooner will foot up some $300 or more. A'n nccldent which, happily, did not occa¬ sion more serious results, occurred to the schooner Margaret A. Mulr Wednesday She was unloading coal at tlie bllver Creek coal dock. Noith Branch, when the hook on the twin buckle broke, leaving the whole weight of tlie buckei, weighing, with Its contents about 2,200 pounds, upon the pine derrick, causing It to break, ami the buckot and Its contents fell a distance of thirty feet on to Hie deok, smashing In a portion of the schoonei'sdetk-and a heavy djiLk beam, mid rendering unconscious, for a Mine, two'inen engaged In unloading her, who were In the immediate vicinity.
