The scow Asa Childs made the run from Fair
port to Ashtabula last Monday in 1S5 minutes.
There were % steam and ssil vessels in port
here last Wednesday and the Harbor presented
scene of activity as has not been witnessed here
during the present season.
The schr Timothy Baker came il last Wednes-
day afternoon from her maiden trip. She has
been entirely rebuilt during the past Summer and
she now looks as fresh as she did p years ago.
There hiss been more business on the River this
week than any previous week OF the season, and
the tug and dock men have had more on their
hands than they could attend to. The question
naturally arises what is to be done with the thou
sands of tons Of ore that are being received The
docks are about loade to their full capacity and
considerable trouble is being experienced just at
present in procuring men for loading the cars.
The tug Triad recently brought to this port from
Cleveland owing TO Lne dull cond1tlon OF marine
matters there, deserves more than passing no
tice. She was built in Cleveland during the past
esson, and is owned and commanded by the old
and popular tugman, Capt. Joe Greenough. Rer
engines are entirely different from those usually
used. having three cylinders, and all being oper-
sted in the pilot house by the wheelsman, which
dispenFes with an engineer.
ANOTHER Bic BoNANzA.-We now have the
pleasure of bringing before the public the good
luck. whatever you may call it of Captain John
Muer, of the schooner Gibson, of Buffalo, which
entered this port last Wednesday with a cargo Of
iron ore from Marquette. For the past nine
months efforts have been made to find the Captain
he having fallen heir to money and property in
Scotland amounting to the snug little sum of $50,
900. His wife and one of his five children arrived
at the Harbor on the afternoon tram last Wednes-
day from Buffalo, having in their possession the
necessary papers by which he is to obtain his un-
looked for fortune. When 1S years of age, he
left his home in Scotland and since has spent his
time on the ocean and the great lakes. Through
industry and economy he has accumulated con-
property, being the owner of the YES
sel he now commands-the Gibson. The Capt
tain proposes to make one more trip, after which
be will go to Buffalo and put his vessel in winter
quarters and then start for the old country and
take possession of his ducats
