dredge has been engaged at the end of the
east pier, removing the dirt and sand to
the rock bottom, where the new cribs have
been sunk to lengthen the pier. The wealth
er of the past few days has been favorable
for the rapid prosecution of this work, and
up to last Tuesday three cribs had been
sunk, each crib containing about 20 cords
of stone. The schooner Oneida is now on
her third trip to the Islands for stone,
bringing about eighty cords for cargo.
Jimmy Hardey, for several seasons cap
tain of the tug Dexter, is now in command
of the barge Transport.
There is considerable complaint of
stream of stagnant water on the east side
of Bridge street, south of the bridge. The
water is the receptaeal for all kinds OF
filth, and the health of those doing busi-
ness in the vicinity demands the abatement
Of this nuisance. Will the Health Officer
please take a Whit.
Messrs. College & Chapman have COM
pleted their contract with the Ashtabula &
Pittsburgh Ry Co., of building the new
coal dock and the filling of the marsh.
The dock will be ready this week and will
be occupied by Messrs. Andrews, Hitch
cock & Co., and known as dock No. 4.
The L. S. & NJ. S. Cos new ore dock is
all ready for business, and force of ma
chinlsts and carpenters are busy setting up
and enclosing two new cranes for unload
ing ore. 1t is expected these cranes will
be ready for use by Saturday. A new
railroad track is being laid on this dock
and two more cranes are to be set up by
Messrs. Andrews, Hitchcock & Co., imme
diately. The number of cranes has net
been sufficient to handle the ore that has
arrived here during the past few weeks, and
as a consequence it had to go elsewhere.
The automatic railway for unloading ore
is to be removed from its present location
to the new ore dock which will give still
better facilities for the rapid unloading of
ore.
J. Andrew CaprOn is still at the Harbor
having given up the idea of going West
this season.
The new coal dock that is being built
by the L. S. & NJ. S. Ry. Co., will be ready
for use by next month, and will be occu-
pied by Scott & Co., of Erie Pat. Smiths
tug and dredge men say their little dredge
will scoop out 400 yards Of mud per day
when it gets fairly at work in front of their
new dock. If they can accomplish this
feat it will be an example worthy of imi=
tation by some other dredges in the river.
Mr.. Harry Mckinney, of Cleveland, is
here temporarily assisting Mr.. Ed. Henry,
clerk for Messrs. Andrews, Hitchcock &
| Co.
Tallman's steam fish boat will be ready
for business in few days. Mr.. Cory
Pond will be the engineer.
Haskelrs dock which was partially wash
ed out by the flood of last September, has
been temporarily repaired and is receiving
Culley's large invoice of Saginaw pine lum-
ber.
