The passenger truffle and excursion sen- son on the lakes Is virtually over. Cuptnin D. M. Becker lias temporarily «Ithdrawn from the ship brokerage business. * The propeller C H. Green, whloh twisted her rudder stock n few duys ago, had It re- pilrcd at I'ressley'sdock. Mr. B. Whitaker, of the linn of Wliitaker it, Son, Detroit, shlpbiokers and insurance ngentp, was In the city this week visiting his brother-in-law, T. Fitzpatrick. jMr. E. M. Peck, (formeily a Cleveland shipbuilder, and now president of the West- em Trnnspoitation Co., of Detroit, was In the city Tuesday, Captain Henry Brnpk, of the firm of, D.

Lamb, recently aground oq Fighting Island, arrived here Tuesday, In tow of (ho propeller Rhoda Stownrt, which released her. The Lamb will discharge her<cartfo and go lo drydlick. At theOlobe drydock the propelleiMCor- moriuit got about foi ly feet of ncwplnnkln her bottom and had her buta culked. The steambargp, C. H. Green got a new shoe, had her rudder barrel repulred and bills- talked. The tifg Niagara had a loose wheel tightened and the schooner George Sherman will hnve a mystorlotiB leak stopped. Stall CommanJer Boulton, of the -oynl navy, who is now In charge of the hvdrn- graphlo survey on Georgian Bay, has re ported the following new shoals, which have been buoyed. Qold Hunter Bar, In Smith'b Bay, bearing SplitRock northeastof Ho)wood Island; Loon Island rock, on the western shore of Mnnltowanlng Bay. Although W. ill. Rogers Is not exactly a Sailor titan, he served quite a While with the volunteer crow of life savers ntthlapoit, when It was first organized,nnd the fnstlnct which he tliUB acquired to save life has not enthelv deserted him, ns is evidenced by tile fact that he rescued tiro boy who tried to board the tug American Eagle and le|l Into the rlvi r. at the fire Sunday night. Vt a have repeatedly culled attention to the fait that the shipping pioperty In the differ¬ ent ports was left compaintlyoly to the mercy of thieves, and facts are being brought to light every day which show If to be the case The suhoonor H. J. Webb, lying in Hie old river bod, was boarded by thieves luesday night, nnd a large quifntlty of ropo valued at $105 stolen. Inasmuch'at* vessel owners are required to pay tax on their floating property, the Bame hi other property, It Is but justice that they should be protected In the possession of that property, whloh enn only be'dpne by a proper system of har¬ bor police. Shortly after midnight on tbo 17th Jho Canadian schooner Queen of the Lakes" was driven ashore by the force of thp blow at Avon Point, near Lorain, Shells very ilnso In shore, said to be not more than- Hilrtv feet from It, and so near that her mas¬ ter, Captain Sullivan, succeeded In reaching hjnd by a line thrown Irom his vessel on •'lore and made fast to an apple treo by the *llo.o^ Captain Tlfns, of the N. 0. West. The river tug Qua) lc went to Iter assistance and Is still at work on hei. The Queen of the Lakes is owned by Captain P. n. Con- gor, and was on her nay light for Lorain, where she wns \n load coal foi Toronto. She Is valued at between $7,000 and $8,000, and Is Insured In the pool companies for $5,000. The QueeB of the Lakes was built at Ports- mouth by Ault In 1858, rebuilt In 1878, halls from Belleville and is owned by C. J. Star¬ ling, classed Bl and measures 347 tons. She would have been released long before but for a bar that has formed between her and the lake, and which will not float a ves¬ sel di awing over four feet of wnter. As soon as a sttong wind from across the Iidto raises ft heavy sea and thus piles up the wa¬ ter on the bar the schooner can be easily pulled off. She is safe enough for tho pres< out, however, where she now lies Freights are steady and llrm although cargoes aro scarce. The prevailing lumber frelghtB are as follows: Bast Saginaw to Buftnlo, $1.02)4 i Bast Saginaw to Ohio, 1.50; Bay City to BuOnhyl.fiO; 'Bay City to Ohio, 1 25; orb rates Arm ul75@80o from Escanaba and 1.10 from Maiquette to Qliloiporls, The propeller Progress #lll load coul at Buffalo for Milwaukee at 00 cents. The tine storm, which has been brewing for a week, made Its appoaranco yesterday at (he rate of forty miles an hour, but up to this writing did not catiso much damage, and was probably quite as severe on Lake 'Erie as In any otl»r quarter. At Buffalo the wind attained a maximiim velocity of 27 miles an hour; at Toledo, 88 miles; at San¬ dusky, 42 miles; at Detroit, 38 miles; at Port Huron, 30 miles; at Escaniiba, 25 miles, at Milwaukee, 14 miles; at Chicago 10' miles. Lake Superior appears to have escaped with n comparatively light gale, as thewlridat no place on that lake Is reported as blowing over fifteen miles aj) hour. Yesterdny the board of^llro commission¬ ers, nccorupmiled by Chief Dickenson, visited the Globe shipyard foi the purpose ot In¬ specting the Iron tug just being completed. The majority ot the vWtois seemed to be well pleased wItli the nrerits of tho tug for the purpose she would be required, hut some thought that she should be a double-ender with much beam and deck room fortho pur¬ pose of carrying away property. If those wise men aro so careful to consider the precious moments Involved in turning a tug around and Insist that she should be nolo to run'ellhci backward or forward fo a fire, It would appear that they should bo desirous of keeping her there during tho prevalence of a flie, and not require her to load mer-1 chandlse and spend much time in convey¬ ing it to a place ol safety. '1 lint could be done by an oidlni^y flat boat or scow. How would a lire tug look running awny from u lire with a deck load of lumber, a cargo of coal, a thousand ee« log machines, or a great number of petroleum barrels, however large the might be ? The place for the are tug Is where f,he fire Is burning, and where she could si|VO more property bv pouring water on It than could the most beamy boat In freighting herself with valuables In tho river locality. As regards valuable bookBand pa. per?, the tug Inspected oould care for them as well as a much larger oraft with a bow on each end, and as nn Ice breaker It would not be easy to find her superior. Tub first shipment of boats lo navigate tho Nile ariived safely at Alexandria on tho 2Jil, nnd was forwarded to A»sl»ut. CniCAQO, Special to the Marine Record The schoonei -Pilgrim arrived on tbo 17th, leaking badly. The s^eambargo M. F. Butters and the schooner Jennie Mullln were In collision on the river Monday, nnd the latter lost her headgear. • J. S. Dunham's wrecking tug T. T. Mor- ford left this port Saturday to tow the schodher J. H. How land from tho Straits tp this port, where hei cargo is consigned. The new stennilarge Phlletus Sawyer, recently built at Green BaV, 'arrived at this' port last week on her maiden trip. She brought along 833,000 feet of; lumber. Sho is a good looking, substantially built boat, and Is in command qf Captain J Munger. The line new steambarge Waldo A. Avery arrived at this port last week on her maiden trip. Her tine proportions and handsome appearance was much admired. Captain Henry Ellis, formerly of tho Belle Cross, Is her commander. Site took on a load of corn for Buffalo. The propeller J. L. Hord arrived on Sun¬ day from Milwaukee, looking better than, before her late disaster occurred, having 1*1- deigone a large amount of repairs and re- fastening at Wolf 4 Davidson's ship yat'd. Captain James Shea, of the tug Shelby, picked up two young men named Rlebel and Fleldman oil the marine hospital last Sunday, and brought them to Chicago. They had started out from La Kocho for a row, and the water being rough, their boat capsized and they narrowly escapfcd drown log. Lake freights were firmer to-day at l&@ IJJ4C for corn and l^o for wheat to Buflalo. At IIil)t4 Brothers' drydock the schooner Emily B. MiiWwcll wns In drydock to get a leak stopped/ tho tug Uncle Sam for a new rudder; the schooner Myrtle for calking; the schooners George and Ray S.-Jfatr, the ateambarge A mile Laura, tho StUrgcpu "Bity Lumber Company's scow No. J. o'fa)-fWf<i&' Boss, oil 10 get leuks stopped. TTOf'Btt'a^rjr, barge T. W Snook, which Is rjjcelrliyra rebuild, will tome-out of drydock This v«ek. At the Chicago Drydock Company's yard tho stoambnrgo Swallow wns In drydock with a loose wheel, tho tug Monitor had her stern louring fixed; the schooner Japan got a leak stopped; tho schooner Itohel t Hewlett was in for calking, the schooner Walter Smith got u new jibboom, tho steambaige It.

W I'OItT COLIIOI1NK. Special to the Marine Jtecord. The Onolda was detained at the Wcllnnd acqueduct, two days.. The captulu claims that while being detained there another boat drawing six Inches more^ water than the Oneida was allowed to pass through. The propollor W. J, Averlll, Captain L. W. Bnl- Icy. wns also detained eighteen to twenty hours, caused by the water running out ^>f the acqueduct. The waltor L. Frost, Cap¬ tain Howard, Is always detained a number of hours on every trip. The acqueduct be¬ ing on la level w Ith Lake Erie, it Is thought that If the lock be kept olosod at Port Col- borne the evil would be remedied at once, unless It Is through some favoritism or ben- fit to c'eituln vessels or musters, when a change of management would he neecessnry 16 cllect the deslrul improve|nent. A E8CANABA. Special to the Marine Jttioora Four vessels were discharging cargoes, of coal along the (look* On Monday. Protty fair business for these dull times. Tho U.

From here she went over to Poverty Island to leaven small boat for the light keeper there, and thence to supply tho several whiter stations along the hikes with their regular allowance of fuel. ' Cuptnin Snrglsson of the schooner Barnes, arrived In port on Tuesday night, having made the run from Chicago in twenty-three and one-half hours, steambont time. Maun Bros, logjiooa,^ long ns „ bridge and as broatLasa wharf, was In our bay this week, liayHig been jowod up by the tug GoldaniitM. She has four derricks, with an engine!* work them, and carries no end of logs-^bosldes, being seaworthy in all kinds of weather.
