fHE MARINE \RECORD \y CHICAGO. Tho owners of the ateamerr Lucille, re¬ ceived a dlapatoli from Washington to the effect that the Treasury Department had granted the boat permission to oarry paa sengers. 'j'he schooner Two Fannlea, which sprung aleak on Lake Huron recently and had to seek shelter In Band Beaoh Harbor, arrived last night in tow of the tug Mooklng Bird. She was left .In Central dip, where her ateam pump waa taken 'off and iho v. en,t to t coal dook to be unloaded. Captain Miller of the Two Fannies, la warm In his prnla of the -JJnnd Beafth life aavlng crow, but for'Whom, heolalma, the vessel would have sunk. The men aboard the leaking schooner wore greatly worn out by their efforts to keep her afloat, and were alnropt ready to give the Job up when the lire savers put In an appearance. Collector Spalding has received 11 telegram from Washington staling that sections 10 and 11 of the old law relating to the clearance and arrivals of vessels was not repealed by the passage of the new uut reducing the fee, and are consequently still in fotce. When a copy of the new aot was received Deputy Hilt and Deputy Greer studlod It carefully and came to tljor-concHislon the section mentioned in the foregoing were not.ro- penled and the telegram received cpnflrma their first belief. Section 10 Is directly ap plicable to the lakes as It embraces only ves¬ sels under 50 tons burden. Section 11 reads: '■For certifying manifests, Including muster's onth, and granting a permit to a vessel above 30 tons laden with a oargo destined fqr a port of point In another district where there is no collector, a charge of 80 cents will be ' made." There are a great many points on the lakos where there Is no deputy collector, hence this Is Important for the information of masters of vessels trading to them. J. S. Dunham's new wrecking tug hi nearly completed. The maohlnerr has been put In her and her cabins and outfit are be¬ ing placed upon her. At Miller Brothers' diydock the schooner Oikuey Lsus went tn for a new stern post and piece of keel aft; the'schooner Nellie Reddlngton got a new foremast, foretopmast and bowsprit — A large number of vessels were laying at the lumber market Monday and Tuesday. Sales were very alow, several arrivals from the lower lakes making the market more crowded than usual and great caution had to be used by the harbormaster In providing a passage for vessels going up and down the river. O. S. Richardson & Co.'a, dook, foot of North Market street, Is a good place for pro¬ filers and steumbarges to ooal up, as they will tlnd there excellent coal at cheap rates, and quick despatch, and dock accom¬ modation which can not be surpassed In the Uty. At the Chicago Drydock Company's dock the schooner Bertha Barnes got u new fore¬ mast; the propeller Jay Oould went into drydock lor a new wheel; the tug Hum¬ phrey got a leak stopped; the tug Black Ball got a new wheel; the steambarge J Potts got u new stern; the schooner Delos do Wolf had a leak stepped; the tug Free- del got a new wheel and Bhaft; the schooner Minnie Mueler was supplied with a new foreboom. The market for lake freights was dull and inactive yesterday. A further advance in the grain market shut off the little shipping demand that existed In the morning, and a moderate ^supply of tonnage remained un¬ chartered. The rate on wheat to Kingston was 4 cents, free oanal tolls. There are now only 4,770,811 bushels of grain In store at i hlcago, while a year ago there were 8,485,- The most serious collision that has oc¬ curred In the river for some time was be¬ tween the schooner Higgle and the steam- barge H. E. Packer Friday afternoon. The Higgle was at the Book Island elevator In the South Branch loading corn, and the Packer was moving down on her way to an¬ other elevator. She struck (lie Higgle on the port side about amidships and carried way a number of etanchlens and about thirty feet of the sohooner's rail and bul¬ warks. The damage has been repaired. 405 bushels. • Ae this comparatively small amount Is scattered among the various ele¬ vators, It Is almost an Impossibility to ob¬ tain even a morteriitc-alzed cargo at one house. Frequently a, vessel will Imve to plok up a M.OOO bushel cargo at four or Ave different elevators- This Increased the ex¬ pense of towing, and diminished the s'lght possibility the vessel hasforcomlngout oven on the trip. . t.

Chattetson has made an ar¬ rangement with L. & W. B. Dlmlok, owners d| the propeller Oneida, to superintend her repairs, and when flnlshed to take command of her. .She Is to be ready for business In about a month, and will again be titled out as a passenger boat. They are figuring on placing her In Ward's Lake SupeVlor Line or on the Chicago & Ogdonsburg route, the probability being In favor, of the tormer. Crosby and Gunning recelvod a dispatch from manager Boattle at Owen Sound, say¬ ing that in a collision on Lake Superior, off Whltoflsh Point, the steamer Alberta had sunk the etoambarge J. M. Osborn. The Alberta was considerably damaged, and she has been ordered (a Detroit for repair*.

She left for Chicago lust night, haviog on fully 3,100 tons of cargo and fuel, —Bujfalo Courier, July SO. MAHQUKTTK '1 he steamer Japan arrived Tuesday, and from statements of those on board It Is learned that upon the Alberta rests the bfa'me for the collision with the John Os- home. The steambarge John Osborne left here early Sunday morning with the schoon¬ er Gowan, and had by evening arrived off WhlteflUh Point, when the heavy fog arose. Her speed waa slackened aud she picked her way carefully. Just after six o'olock the Iron boat Alberta crashed lino her, sulking her starboard near the bow unc splitting her In two. The Osborne sunk In afew minutes, oirrylng with her three of the eiew and a man who had jumped from the Alberta to the Osborne. Men In the Alberta testify to her great speed m the fog, and the watch of the Osborne snw her rapid upproaali, but too late The Alberta Is at the Sault with her forward works badly wrecked. The lake captains agree as to tho reckless running of these boats, and always look for them. It is reported that the Alberta's commander Is In trouble at the Sault. FORT COLB0RN6.

'She also ploked up an extnuxesfel and towed her through the Detroit river, and was delayed at Detroit Ave hours taking on fuel. Tho Monteagle had a oargo of 62,- 480 bushels of corn when she arrived hero, and had to^llghter 20,014 bushels In order to get'through tho canal. It was thought When the new steamer was built that she would cairy about 45,000 bushels through, but she has tailed to comu up t» tho expectations.

Of the tidal wihes whloh created such violent currents In Chicago harbor on Wednesday night and Thursday, the Mil¬ waukee Sentinel says: "A huge tidal wave Is roported to the city engineer and board pf publlo works as having occurred Wednesday afternoon In the lake. The effeots were felt a long dtstance up the Menominee and Mil. waukee rivers. The waters receded three feet at the straight-cut, and returned to their nominal height within fifteen minutes. Sev¬ eral swimmers who were standing with their heads above water In Milwaukee river, a short distance north of North street bridge, found themselves suddenly submerged when the waters returned. The cause of the phe¬ nomenon Is unknown, but js asorlbed, In a measure, to the recent storms, which hare had considerable Influence upon the three rivers Intersecting Milwaukee. The Mil¬ waukee river, which until then had been flowing up-stream, suddenly assumed a counter.! urrent at the rate of one and a quarter miles an hour. All the river was completely Hushed, but the oId/troubli"hT beginning again and the current pM ^rmost. ceased.
