The Detroit Post has the following: !:


Messrs. Dean and Meyers. boat build
ers of this city, has recently completed
the construction OF one the most marvel
OuSly speedy sailing vessels ever seen on
Western waters. 1t is built much after
the style OF the ''catamaran" used by the
Feejee Islanders, who are credited with
possessing the fastest sailing small craft
i'm the world. The first of this style ever
introduced into this country was built
under the supervision of G. A. Meigs, of
New York. and created quite a furOre i'm
yachting circles last fall by sailing right
away from the fastest yachts owned by
the various New York fleets. The won-
derful craft built by Nessrs. Dean and
Meyers may be appropriately termed a
Gouble-hulled yacht. 1t consists of two
yawl boats joined together and complete
ly decked over, supporting a mainmast
and bowsprit, and carrying 125 yards OF
canvass, and differs from the one built in
New York only in one essential partic-
ular-the former has center-bOards while
the latter has not. Its dimensions are 20
feet long on keel, II feet wide, % feet
main boom, hoist of sails "a feet bow
spirit 10 ieet long, and length Of gaif Ii
feet.
The Detroit papers thinking they had
something entirely new made a great
spread about this craft, and their notices
have been extensively copied into other
papers. The craft Is probably all they
CLAIM for it, except that it is not really so
new as they suppose. Capt. G. E. Kirt-
land, now OF the wrecking tug Leviathan,
constructed similar boat at Mackinaw
dimensions: Length of boat % feet,
depth feet, 311a feet on deck, and one
foot on keel Width over all IL feet. ga
complete suit of sails was made for it by
S. 3. Conklin, of Cleveland. then fresh
from the sail lofts of New York. Capt.
Kirkland does not claim to have been the
first to have made this kind of a boat, he
having sailed on the same kind of a craft
on the Connecticut % years ago.
1t may be claimed for the catamaran
or ''cigar boat" as it is sometimes called,
that ii is the safest and may be made the
fastest of all "wind boats" The boat be-
ing decked over tight and the extreme
width Obviating the necessity OF ballast
they cannot fill with water and could not
sink if they did. The green sailors who
persist III drowning women and children
with themselves every summer to be pro.
vided with that kind of boat, instead of
the open boats half FLIED with lead and
pig iron tor ballast.

That ssBaSiS."

Trustee McKervey has at last COM
PEELED the Free Press 30 give to the pub
lie "the basis we took" and as we stated
last week would be the case. it will not
bear the scrutiny of the public or a care
ful comparison with the facts. AS we
stated in the beginning of this contro-
versey. the basis" was purely an imag
mary one, devised for the particular pur-
pose Of misleading Trustee McKervey.
and inducing him TO make a report con-
trary to the facts in the case. The Free
Press induced Mr.. McKervey to make
his figures upon basis Of four folios to
each meeting of the Council. Last year
the council only met once a month in
regular session, holding special meetings
when necessary. Last year the proceed
ings count mp 134 fOlios. or trlf1e over
six foios to a meeting. special meetings
included. This is folios TO meeting
more than the figures furnished Mr.. Nc
Kervey for basis. As the Free Press
has estimated all other matters connect
ed with the printing flom last years
business. it is no more than fair to count
the proceedings upon that basis also.
TwPnty-four meetings of the Council. at
folios. gives IA folios. instead OF %, as
given by the Free Press. This makes
the difference on Council proceedings
alone in favor of the TRIBUNE of $46 80,
instead of $33 60. as given by the Free
Press. These figures are given from the
official records. Giving the:Free Press
the benefit of every other point as claim :
ed by it. and there remains in favor Of
the TRIBUNE bid So 68. 1t is not to be
supposed that the year can go through
without some special meetings. Indeed.
there has already been one called. Every
special meeting would make the differ
ence greater.
The Free Press mentions job work.
and tries to make the public believe nO1U
| that their bid included that also. 1t did
not. 1t was fifty per cent. off legal rates.
There are no legal rates on job work. az
the Free Press very we'll knows. Mr..
Bentley, one of the proprietOrs of the
Free Press, argued that this was the case
| before the Council at a meeting not long
since. He also said that the Treasurer's
report would be extra. because there
| were no legal rates established. 1t would
have been q good thing for the Free
Press "basis" had Mr.. Bentley said moth
| ing about the printing matter before the
| Council. Had the Free Press bid been
| accepted, there would have been numer-
Gus extras. In fact, it is the same class
| of bid under which the city of Detroit
has been largely swindled in years gone
by.
We have proved, from the records,
that the FreefPress made false estimate
on the Council proceedings. They count
more ordinances than there will be to
print. But as the proceedings cover
more than the difference claimed by the
Free Pree, we shall give them the bepefit
of the rest, and spend no. more time or
| trouble about the matter. AS we said
some weeks since, any estimate which
would give the printing to the Free
Press under their bid would be false
estimate. and We have proved that this
was the case.

An ENLARGEMENT.

We hear from what We deem reliable
authority that an engagement occurred
yesterday between Mike Shields and John
Cardinel. two residents in the vicinity of
SpoOner's bridge. We understand that
they had some trouble about some
fence, or COWS, or something of that sort
which trouble came to blows, and Cardi-
mel was left OH the field and was not
found for several hours. He was then
taken to his house and cared for. and ac
cOrding to our informant, physician
summoned, but an interview with each
medical gentlemen this morning shows
that none had gone up to that time. We
understand that Cardinel was struck
across the breast with club, and badly
injured.

NIr. ThOmpson's Lecture.

The lecture OF Rev. r. M. Thompson
on temperance at the Congregational
church last Thursday evening was rich
treat to all who were present. and the
church was we'll filled, although many
more would have endeavored to have
been present had they realized the value
of.the lecture. Never before has such a
torcible temperance speech been made in
this place. 1t fully convinced Mr..
Thompson's many friends that he was
equally mt home on the lecture platform
as in the pulpit. We have no doubt but
much good will be accomplished by the
lecture.

The Reading.ROonl.

1t was announced that the meeting of
the reform club Tuesday night was to
be purely business meeting, the main
business being the consideration of the
reading room project. 1t would be sup
posed, from the interest which had
been manifested in this, that there would
have been a full attendance, but it SEEM
ed as if it had the contrary effect. Very
few were present. Whenever it is an
nOunced that somebody will speak, the
hall is crowded. but when business mat
tiers are mentioned, it seems as if every
body LETT it for somebody else to look
after. This will never do, if the enter
prise is to be successful. The reading
room can be made a success if a little en-
rgy is put in it, but none must ha ng
back.

especially against the opening Of the

TO give their countenance or support

Another Batch Of Norm Ons.

-Four hundred and fifty-nine Nor

steamer Wisconsin, OF the Williams
Il Guion line, which arrived at New
York on Saturday week. These
new converts to the Mormon faith
came principally from Great Britain
and Scandinav.as and in part repre-
sent the results of the labors of
twelve Mormon missionaries for the
past two years. The whole ''harvest
amounted to 1000 converts this sea

ready been brought over Another
company-the last-sailed from Liv-

cluded people of all ages, and all aps

ing from school near the Relay House,
and while passing through q wood was
seized by Hawkins, bound to a tree

SENATOR JOHN J. PATTERSON was
arrested on Saturday, at Washington,
on a requisition CT the Governor of
South Carolina. He is charged with
conspiracy to bribe members of the
General Assembly, and procuring a man
named Parker to commit grand lar
ceuy" He was released on a writ Of
habeqs corpus. The Senator claims free
dom from arrest under the Constitution,
which does exempt Senators from ar
rest excepting for treason, felony, and
breach of the peace He entered bail
in the sun of $500, for hearing on
the 18th inst. What the case will
amount to remains to be seen. For the
good name of Juniata it is hoped that
the charges against the Senator may
prove to be without foundation.
