' Tho tug J. H. Hackley was discovered on fire about 11 o'clock Sunday night, when ly¬ ing near Biohurdson'e coal dock. The en¬ gineer, fireman and deokhand had retired to rest and were awakened bjc, the smell of smoke. They Immediately gave an alarm. A large number of tugs which were lying' near set up terrific noises with their whis¬ tles, and a Are engine soon arrived and- suc¬ ceeded In putting out the tire. The tug Is badly burned. She Is Insured for $1,000, which sum will cover the amount ot dam¬ age done. The new Canadian propeller Sir S, L. Til- ley, Captain A. McMaugh, arrived at this port for tho first time on Friday last, with railroad ties and cedar potts from St. Mi¬ chael's Jay.^anJtoullnJsJanjk, She waa built at St. Catherlnea by Shlckluna, and la' owned by Sylvester Neelon. AllJior frames are of Iron and she Js planked with wood. She la 187 feel In length over all, 80 feet beam and 15 leet depth of hold. Sho has a compound englno 28x40 and 52x40, and two bollera i>% feet shell aud 11 feet 2 inches long.

Captain Michael Donahy, last year master of the Thomas P. Sheldon, and this season mate ot the Fred Mercur, haa been appointed as master of the steamer R. A. Packer, vice Captain Lonls Bogart deceased. It is reported that Captain Wm. Bradford, who last season sailed the Lehigh steamer H. E. Packer, but who was unable to tako his command this spring on account of injulres received by an accident In tho tail, has accepted the position as dock agent for Bell, Lewis & Yates' fuel yard. Tho Budden death Monday eveningof Cap¬ tain Louis Bogart, of the stoamer K. A. Packer, caused unlveraal surprise and sorrow in marine clrolos. Many vessels In port dis¬ played flags at half mast. • ODEDOYOAN. The schooner Avory, bound down with corn, sprung a bad leak on Lake Michigan yesterday, and tho crew had to mxort every effort to keep her afloat. Uor cargo Is badly damaged, aB there was two feet of water In her hold when she reached here. She will have to tow down. , Tho tug Bennett ran ashore Monday, but was released by the tug Pendell without any damage. . .-.. . .. DETROIT. SpeeMlt Mi Marine Heard August 20.—Supervising Inspeotor Sen- eral J. A. Dumont, from Washington, wag In the olty on Friday, taking a look around, and left In the evening for Chloago and oth¬ er western pons. Within the pant week there haa been a markod Improvement In the arrival of pro¬ ducts which usually reach hore. Coal la be¬ ing received In oonalderable quantities; tho wood trade" la brightening up, but unfortu¬ nately with no-reductlon in prices; lumber and Iron ore are alao daljy landed, moro so at any>othor tlmexlurlngthe present season. The schooner George Sherman, which was libeled here a few days since, paid up on Saturday, amounting to |8,001,and haa taken her departure. 'A colored lady haa received' an appoint¬ ment In the custom house at this port and la located at the branch, foot of Caropan ave¬ nue, the Walkerville'ferry landing: The ateamshlp Alberta on Saturday last took I her departure^ for her route. To de¬ monstrate that she does not steer wildly, as haa beon represented, just after her repairs were completed several experts were invited to take a ride on the river and witness her ,movements. She worked charmingly and turned as readily as any medium sized craft, The report that Captain Anderson Intended to retire from command was entirely with¬ out foundation. The tug W. A. Moore, which was en route through the ' rlvefs with, a . large raft, was compelled to leave It temporarily at the bead of Belle Isle to go to Lorain, Ohio, for a supply Of fuel. ' A very distressing accident took place Sat¬ urday night at Mackinac, by the drowning of Bay Carter, a lad of eleven years, and sou ot David Carter, of this city, and general manager of the Detroit and Cleveland line. His body waa soon after reepvered and MoUghtlitwrLon, the BteitmetCltyjUClevei land, arriving this morning. To-day the flags of the City of Detroit and the Cleve¬ land are at half mast on account of the'vad event. In a tow which passed down on Saturday afternoon there appeared a long, low, black and rakish looking craft, which was barely visible above water. Not many years since •be waa the finest of Captain E. B. Ward's fleet of steamers arid was known as the Reindeer, which has now disappeared from the memory of all who had ever seen hor. All who had ever owned or commanded her have gone hence over the dark river, nith one or two exceptions. During.the past forty-eight hours no less than 10,000 tons 6f coal passed here, which is an unusual quantity during the time giv¬ en, and correspondingly larger than at any provious time thla season. Up to the present time this season grain has ruled better between Detroit and BufTulo than from Chicago to the same point, but now the latter port has assumed the lead, the figures being from Chicago Soon wheat, while from DetrdU it has dropped to l%o. Notnlthstamliug such ruinous rates, the -teamen's union at several points refuse to come down wlrh wages proportionately, the result being that on Lako Michigan, as else¬ where, many of tho larger vessels are lay¬ ing up, and possibly have retired for the season. ' Tlio revcnuc~~B«£amei' Fessendon is off on nuftther lark, anil when last heard from had resnlied the Satilt, and not Prentice Bay, as nn a former and not remote occasion. The steamer Plokup, which usually piles on tlfe St. Clair river, arrived here to-day, having been chartered for throe weeks to ply between this city and Fort Wayne, In connection with a Bavarian garden located near there. Tho steamer Alaska,' which plies between this city and Sandusky, while lying at Put In-Bay, Friday, was run Into by the steam¬ er Jay Cooke. The former was not Injured, however. The Cooke stopped on the centre, which was the cause. As intimated olaowlioro, freights are nom¬ inally without change and scarcely worthy of nolo. The scow Hannah brings salt from Now Rlvoi'! Lako Huron, to Tolodo at 12o per barrel, ulid (he schooner Snowdrop ce¬ dar from Southampton to Detroit at $1.73 on the rail. " During the past week we have been pass¬ ing through the heated term, which was op¬ pressive In the extreme. The weather, howover, haa changed for the better with fa¬ vorable winds for sailing craft, for It must be borne In mind that not a few not only take advantage of a fair wind, but occasion¬ ally a 'loaded vessel may be soon beating down the river thus saving a tew bill. All masters, howevor, cannot do that, and need a tug iindor any and all circumstances. j. yf. h. ESCANABA. Special If the Marine atari. The schooner North Cape, Captain Peter¬ son, left Tuesday, with a cargo of lumber for Buffalo. The tug Delta ran down to St. Martin's Island and towed the tug J, N. Brooks to Manitowoc. The Brooks was disabled by a bruken crank and cylinder head. Tho Minnie M. wont to Chloago last Sup- day to make ready, by Ironing her bows, for fighting tee, Intending to work as late as posBlhlo this fall, and to get at It as early as possible next spring. —_ Samuel Cooley, a young man of sixteen, vears, employed, on board the steambarge TeodmBeh, which Is loading timber at the mouth of the Escanaba river, fell down n hatch, a distance of fourteen feet, on Mon¬ day night. The barge ran, down here the next morning and transferred the young man to the care of Dr Gelzer of the marine hospital, where he died at 3 o'clock that af¬ ternoon. No bones were broken, his Injuries .being Internal. He was a Canadian. Captain Robert Denny has been appointed to command the Lady Washington, run¬ ning now between Green Bay and 8torgeon Bay. Total amount of Iron ore shipped from, port of Escanaba for the season up to\ and Including August 20th, 1,000,060 tons. \ . Some of the Cleveland nlmrods, Intending to hunt around Esojinaba arrived, by /way of Marquette. Captain Bradley need not send an extra vessel to bring the venison to market. Everjrbullerwou^rhlt; ~E7T^ FRANKFORT. Special to the Merino Record. Captain Klrtland, of the wrecking tug Leviathan, spent a few days here looking over the wreck of the propeller City of Bos¬ ton, which ran ashore here In a snow storm in 1873. Captain K. thinks the hull will be too expensive a job, hut that the engine and bol)er can be raised, and-gave his figures to the men who claim to own the wreck, what lie would raise them for. The Boston's en¬ gine canre out of the old propeller Jersey State, lost en Long Point In I860, She had two engines. The propeller Empire got the ofhi'r one. Captain "Shanty" Morgan was In town last week, on his way to Mackinaw, where he has fishing Interests. All old lake sailors remember "Shanty." Of lato years he was keeper of Point au Sauble life saving station. Lieutenant Rogors, of ..the llfo saving ser¬ vice, inspected Point Betsy station on the 10th, and Is well satisfied with tho neAt and orderly manner In which Captain Matthews keops the station. The tug Ganges, which has beon engaged In flBhlug liere since June, has returned to her home port, St. Joseph. The Ganges tiles the Cleveland and Hendricks banner. The propeller Sanford also floats the Cleveland and Hendrloks, whllo the Weston carries the Blulne & Logan on hor staff. The Bteam flBhing craft Boss, Hannah Sul¬ livan, A. McMillan and Sweet Brothers are Btlll fishing out of this port, meeting with fair succees. The steamer Lou A. Cummings litis of Into given several excursions to South Manltou Island, which was enjoyed by all who attend¬ ed. The first, vessol that entered Into Betsy" Lake, (Frankfort harbor) was the scow Trenton in 1800, to load wood for L. Doby, for Chicago. Tlio old brig Mary had previ¬ ously called here and loaded cargoes oil' the beach'. ' . C. B. TOLKDO. , Willie at work at the launch of u vessel, on Tuesday, under construction at Little Miami, Captain David- Trowbridge tell Into tho hold 'ind barely escaped being killed. Three ribs were fractured aud he was otherwise tniured. Groat difficulty was experienced' before the launch wbb com¬ pleted. Captain Rooney was the lowest bidder for tho work of dredging In Maumeo Bay and deepening tho channel below the new range lights. MILWAUKEE, The name of the tug Blamark haa been, changed to Juatloe Field, alio haa been for a number of years In the lake Mlohlgan trade biit Is now employed towing rafla on Lake Huron. A large' fleet of Chloago bound-vessola sought aheitor In tho buy and harbor during the heavy southwest gale on Sunday but got away In the evonlng. Frank O'Neill has been appointed Cap¬ tain of the life saving station in plaoo of John Evenson. The tug Josbo 8p°aldlng discovered the sohooner Constitution, coal laden from Cleveland to Milwaukee, lying off Clay Banks Sunday flying a signal of distress* She was lound to beloaklng badly and minus her Jlbboom and head sails. The tug took her In tow for this port. The sohooner Oneida, of this port, went aahore on Rawlins Bay Saturday night, and was released Sunday night. The schooner Roving Star and soow W. B. Shatluck have boen iled up by the marshal! ut| Marlnetto. The claim against the former amounts to 184,28 and against the latter to$2G0,72'. Both claims are for shipyard work.-It Is probable that both vessels will be sold. The schooner Constitution Captain Kerr, disabled at Sturgeon Bay coal laden from Cleveland, arrived on Tuesday In tow of the tug Jesse Spulding. The Constitution sprung a leak during the gale of Sunday night, rolled her jlbboom out of her, and lost ber head can¬ vass, Her crew worked the pumps all night and the vessel came to off Clay Banks Mon¬ day morning, where she was picked up by the Spalding, The union sailors from Chicago who came here to ship for Ijl.iiO on the schooners Bur¬ ton and A!dr,li>kj.vere hooted at by the Mll- wakee sailors. The Milwaukee union has jetiiseiLto_xeducjLw:ngeBjtonL$2, auvaa done at other ports on account of low freights. Police protection was granted and no one was Injured. Captain Powers, of the soa- men's union,,came here from Chicago to argue wltlv the men, but they refused to re¬ duce the wages from $2 per day. . 8AUQATUCK. This was Saugatuck's gala day.
