ANOTHER STEAMBOAT DISASTER

This is a year Of steamboat disasters.
The latest, and one Of the most frightful,
occurred about ten o'clock last week Thurs
day evening, on the Detroit river, nine
miles below the city, caused by a large ex-
cursion steamer, the Garland, running
down small steam yacht, the Mamie, on
which were twenty-four persons, sixteen Of
whom were lost in the disaster. The AS
ISOLATED press reports say that the excur-
sion steamer Garland, with 1900 persons
on board, under the auspices Of the Detroit
Moulder's Union, collided with the yacht,
cutting her in two, so that she sank in
about ten minutes. The twenty-four per-
sons on board consisted mainly of Trinity
Roman Catholic church Of Detroit, and a
number Of acolytes or alter boys Of the
church. The party had been on an excur-
sion and were returning home. The night
was bright and moonlight, and the acci-
dent was caused by objectionable negli-
gence.

years B. c., and counts three and half
centuries age. It's position upon Ameri-
can soil, ,-considering the task Of taking
it down, loading upon vessel prepared
for its transportation and its successful
voyage across the Atlantic, will make it
an object Of intense and wonderful inter-

ROADS AND SIDEwALKs-Notices have
been duly given to delinquents in side
walk matters, to attend to repairs or re-
newals, according to circumstances. In
not a few cases this has been deferred too
long, and those interested should be
prompt in meetinga reasonable require
ment.
Commissioner Abeel has taken hold of
the matter of the repairing of Main street,
evidently determined to make thorough
work of it, Those knobs which have so
long decorated each side Of that thorough
fare, have been plowed up and the abrupt
shoulders on either side, from which the
currents of water from the center received
cutt ing power, have been removed, and an
easier grade secured, and much Of the
wash prevented Then, the mud, or the
material for forming it, upon the bed Of
the road has been scruped off down to
hard bottom. These would seem to be
well conceived steps, and well calculated
TO give hard and smooth bottom, pro
vided the pick and shovel are used sufli-
ciently to level the surface, leaving only
rotundity enough for the water to find the
cutters with gentle current. This plan,
if followed out with thoroughness and fl
deity, WILL we are inclined to think, give
us good road bed AT any rate it is
time that something should be done, and
this mode of repair commends itself to
common sense, we, therefore, bid Commits
sioner Abeel hearty god speed.
