Tho crew were all Bavod. ^ "Your correspondent, on Saturday, paid a visit to the boat building establishment of Sean & Co., located In this city on Atwater street, and was -surprised at the extent ol their operations and the Improvements In- trod icoh In this line ol naval architecture. Tholrjjlilldltigs, largo and coinmodlousj em¬ ploy quite a number of hands who turn out an average of one boat pur day, or six por week. A boat suitable lor tho .largest craft on the lakes can be turned out In two and n half days, including painting. Two lads can cut out and put In shape a boat lu twenty minutes. Tho planking for a four.teen foot boat Is made ready in ton minute*. Though .built strong ami substantial, tlrey are light. In weight, requiring hut two men, one at each fall, to hoist It to tho dav|ts. They linvc lid knees, mid though planked as other boats, require no calking. Another specialty in their lino ■ that of life boats, which' are considered superior to the metallic, are more easily handled and, when once seen, require no endorsement. Their establishment 'Is probably unsurpassed west of New York. In oonncotloqwlth tho fnrogolng I should bo quite remiss should 1 omit mentioning a novel invention which, ll'-over attempted be¬ fore by others, lias unlit now failed to prove a decided success. This Is what Dean & Co. style a water velocipede, which, In lorm, Is like those used ou terra 111 ma, vl/., one wheel forward and two alt, | arallel » lib eaeli other but cylindrical lu style. The tiller wheels have on the outside seven Sheet iron tans 4x0 Inches square, which seive as the pio- pelllng power. The forward wheel Is three feet lu eircuinfeicnce, the others loin feet. The drums of all the wheels are of sheet iron, ami the whole Is painted In unique style. As to Its proving a sueceaa, tbeie Is no gain¬ saying, as a trip across the Detiolt .river was performed a few days slnco In the short space of twenty minutes.

A Cincinnati wiecklng company tried to raise her by means of chains and capst/tns, and spent some $1,000 but did'not succeed and abandoned her.

' The body of a man was found floating In an eddy lu the Niagara river on Monday, above tiro old si-sponsion brldgo. It was entirely nude, with tbu exception of a blue stocking upon one foot. The -body shows marks of having been in an accident ol some kind, and it Is thought twhe that of one of the missing Colorado victims. A somewhat .embarrassing point appears to have been reached In the Colorado ex¬ plosion case. Tliu Investigation was ad¬ journed until to-morrow, when It was hoped that the Injured men would be ready to teatlfy. It now appears that Engineer Lovott, tho ono moBt Interested In the case, Is far from recovered, and If he is not to appear it would be cruel to admit further direct testi¬ mony against him In bis absence. It Is stated that the -developments of the ease have told seriously against bis chances of recovery. However this may bu, there will probably be some unimportant witnesses ex¬ amined, and the most direct part ol the testi¬ mony held over until It can be confronted •by Mr. LoWtt.
