An unnecessary stampede was made by shippers tor vessels for to-day. It U believed that there Is fully a third moro vessel capacity In the harbor than there Is coal. The engagements included propellers William Edwards, Taconla, It \. Pucker, schooners Snvcland,C. J. Welle, Golden Age, M. W. Pago, 70c; for Milwaukee, propeller J. M.

The ship, burned steadllv until about 0 o'clock this morning, when, having burned to the w [iter's edge, she sank. Tho Glenflnlas measured 447 tons, was built at St. Catharines by Shlckluna in 1851, and xxas then known as the Brantford. Somt jears afterward n Montreal house bought her and changed her namo to tho Calabria. Later her name was changed to tho Glenfln¬ las. Owing to her largo size she nevei could pass lurthcr up the old canal than St. Catharines. Shu was valued at f 25,000 und her cargo ut $30,000. /
