On Monday last there was quite feet
of arrivals. The vessels lying in the docks
in the afternoon, numbered thirteen.
Some of our Consuls on the other side |
ofthe lake are not well read in geogra-
ply. While one locates Ashtabula in Pa,
another. as was the case the other day, |
sent vessel with ore TO Youngstown
So fresh did the wind blow outside on |
Monday last, that three good sized scows,
bound up, dropped into the harbor for
shelter, and one of the number drove her
jIb boom in the stern of another, damag
ing her upper works considerably.
The -schr Oneida came into port on
Monday last with bulwarks stove. Going
up lake Superior heavily laden with coal,
she encountered gale of terrible fierce
ness and the surf made breach over her.
1t was necessary to knock away sheathing
to let the water from her deck
WaterI WaterIl Sparkling Water
Some cold water fellows at the harbor,
sunk well under the hill at the foot of |
the stairs, on Monday last, in the hope, we
suppose of encouraging its use among its
denizens, and its Sunday visitors. "Self |
proclaimed temperance men, therefore,
will have no excuse for indulging in q
nip, because of the absence of natures |
beverage.
Besides the railroad docks in the course
of erection at the harbor, there are some
half dozen or more who have engaged
Capt. Thayer to build up nearly the
whole frontage from the east pier to the
Bowers lot. The parties are Messrs. Mo-
rey, Humphrey, Fassett 6 Good, E. R.
Williams, Willard, and Hubbard & Co.
The dock in front of the Bowers lot is
built by Capt. Blair
CAPT. NELSON WATRoUs, at the Harbor,
seems disposed TO do his share of build
ing up that locality. Besides having put |
up some three or four dwelling of respect
bic dimensions, his last step is the erect
ton of sizable building on the corner
where his blacksmith shop has heretofore
stood, to be occupied as a restaurant on the
main floor, and a barber shop on the Sec
ond, both of which institutions are in de-
mand.
Two steam barges came into the har
Dor on Wednesday afternoon-one was
the Relief, Capt, Booth, formerly of this
place She came in to coal at Strong &
Manning's docks. The other was the W.
H. Barnum, from Marquette, with ore, as |
reported under the marine head. This |
large vessel is owned by, and called after, |
the Democratic member of Congress from |
the 4th, or Norwalk District of Ct, who |
is largely interested in the mining busi-
ness at Marquette.
Capt. Harrison, of the steam barge W.
Il. Barnum, is the hero of shipwreck at
the Manitos, some few years since, in
which the whole company was lost, in
cluding the wife and one or two children
Of the Captain, while he himself was so |
near gone that it took some four days of |
sedslous nursing to restore him to con-
ciousness.
The business at the harbor during the |
month of June, was without doubt, great
er than was ever done before in the way
of tonnage entered and cleared. A glance
at the following statement will afford |
some idea OF what may, and will be the |
business Of this point when the two great
railroad companies shall both get into
operation. The number of entries of YES
! sells IS A and clearances As, as returned
to the custom house, and not including
vessels cleared from and TO other ports
and only stopping in transit, TO load, but
| making no reDort here
The number of tons of coal shipped to
various points, including Canada, was
6,S44; of ore brought in for shipment by
cars to Pittsburgh and the Mahoping
Valley, was 1896; of lumber Asa, 900 #,
of salt, 200 barrels.
