1t Is reprchensible OF the English and
other steamship companies that they do not
take steps to prevent their passengers being SO
shamefully cheated as they are every day by
cabmen. The companies could easily check
this by refusing, a. the London railroad compa-
MES do, to admit any cab into their premises
which does not consent to be registered by
them, and to abide by their rules, or falling
this, by having an official at the gate who should
inform every passenger what fare he ought to
pay. Ten dollars Is frequently extorted from
passengers for going from Jersey City To all up
town hotel. In London the fare would DO at
most one dollar and in Paris about the same.
This preliminary swlndle gives the traveller
very unpleasant impression Scarcely one reach

an outrage.

Secretary of State.

Some of the lumbermen claim that
they saved couple dollars per ton on
hay by purchasing it outside and bring
ing it in by vessel.
The Saugatuc.l was over from the
Point last Tuesday, and took back some
dressed lumber and other material need
Ell at Slockbrilge and Co.'S mill at that
place.
Indications now are that we shall not
have to wait much longer for winter.
From great portion of the country we
hear of it being inclined to be "Hayesy."
but here it has every appearance of
snow.
1t would be a good joke if some few
funny people would just have turkey or
a basket of groceries left at some poor
mans house the night before Thanksgiy-
ing, and never let on. How they would
laugh in that house.
Capt. Foster, of the Bismarck, and Pc
ter Johnson are making arrangements
for building small schooner during the
coming winter. 1t will be somewhat
larger than the Dreadnaught, which Mr..
johnson built some years since.
The "rurl e." question appears to be
The all absorbing topic both i'll Europe
and the United States. In this country,
howeyt r. the question will be definitely
settled rext Thursday, when turkey
will be universally "gobbled" up.
We have information of several parties
who contemplate visit to Cheboygan to
look after business openings here We
hope they will come. There is plenty of
loom here tor honest, industrious men,
and they will receive cordial welcome
from our citizens
The schooner City of Chicago loaded
lumber for Bullen 81 Nelson at this port
during the fore part of the week, and
cleared for Chicago Wednesday evening.
The captain was little fearful of the
weather and seemed anxious to reach
Chicago, where the vessel will be laid up.
The Adrian Times says I'that a hen held
up by one leg will not squawk half as
much as when both legs are grasped

persons who are accustomed to purchase
their poultry at night, few hours after
the owner of the fowls has retired, will

Macarthur, Smith 81 Co. are getting the
frame ready for an addition to their saw
mill. 1t will be added to the north end
of their. present building, taking the
place of the shed portion that now
stands there, the shed being moved still
further northward. to cover the platform
at that end Of the mill. This will give
them more room and add greatly 10 the
convenience Of manufacturing and hand
ling lumber.
That the electors of this Congressional
district did well to elect Charles G. Els

Services ut both the Methodist and
Congregational churches tomorrow,
morning and evening, at the usual hours
1.-The s'tote' teams are now daily seen
upon our streets conveying supplies to
the numerous numbering camps in this
section, and would indicate that business
in the woods was looking up.
From the amount Of provisions being
brought in by our merchants, the indica-
tons are that the citizens ofCheboygan
will not be liable to suffer for lack of ra-
tons during the coming winter.
Last Saturday the schooner Lotus and
the bark Wells Burt collided in the
straits, damaging the main rigging of the
Lotus slightly. The damage was re-
paired at this port, and she passed on.
The schooner Peshtigo loaded this
week for Macarthur. Smith g. Co., with
lumber, lath and pckets. She is bound
for Chicago, and as soon as she discharges
her cargo will go into winter quarters.
The tug j. w. Bennett started for De-
troit last Sunday, where she would go
into dry dock and undergo repairs of the
damages caused by running on the shoal,
where the fatal accident ON her occurred.
She is expected to return within day or
so.
Geo. w. Bell is expected to return to
Cheboygan this evening, when some
thing definite in regard to the new Third
street bridge can be ascertaned, as he
was authorized by the Town Board to in
vestigate and see what conld be done in
the matter
Our neighbors of Mackinaw are get
ting in their winter supplies. and prepar-
ing for the approach of winter. Every
thing is reported quiet, and like all other
portions of the country. they are wait
ing anxiously the solution of the problem
as to who is to be our next President.
An investigation of the tug Bennett dis
ter was held yesterday at Mackinaw, be-
fore Coroner Felix Cadieux. AS far as
we have learned there was no evidence
given which would tend to show that the
least possible blame coald be attached to
any person connected with the boat at
the time of the accident.
Capt. Kirkland and the engineer of the
Leyiathan were summoned TO appear at
hackinaw yesterday to testify in regard
to the disaster on the tug j. w. Bennett
last week. We understand an effort is
being made to establish a liability for the
accident upon some person. Whether
or not it can be done remains to be seen.
The tug Mary Newton made trip to
Mackinaw and back yesterday, taking
over w. S. Humphrey and Mr.. Nelson.
for the purpose of taking testimony in
an admiralty case. in which the latter
gentlemen is interested. Capt. Kirkland
and the engineer of the Leyiathan went
over on her to give evidence in the tug
Bennett investigation.
The schooner North Cape arrived at
this port Thursday morning. bringing
quite cargo of supplies and merchandise
for Macarthur. Smith e. Co. She brought
$500 bushels of grain, PSI barrels of pork.
25 barrels of hams, 100 barrels of beef. 6
tierces of lard, 80 barrels of sugar, 100
barrels OF flour, and 500 packages q
merchandise. She will take on cargo
of lumber from that firm for Chicago.
