A Narrow Escape.

The schooner Bay State was towed
in port yesterday with several feet of
water in her hold. The vessel had
left Cheboygan intending to cross the
head of the lake, but was forced by
the northwest gale to run southwark.
About five o'clock Tuesday morn
ing, she sprung leak and although
the pumps were started, the water
gained OH them and they were forced
to come to anchor off Thunder Bay
island. A signal of distress was rails
ed. The sailors had given up all
hopes of saving their vessel and were
making preparations to leave the
schooner, when the steamer Atlantic
came to their rescue and towed the
Bay State to this port. The captain
said he did not believe a yawl boat
would have lived in the sea that was
running. He said he would have
made fast to the top of the mast after
the schooner had sunk and hung on
as long as he could. Men were kept
pumping all day yesterday but could
not gain much OH the water.

The Shore Railroad.
From the Bay City Tribul

From the Bay City Tribune.
The Tribune is pleased to learn
that subscriptions to the amount of
5000 were procured Monday to the
fund guaranteed the Detroit, Bay
City & Alpena railroad. A little less
than one thousand dollars remain of
the amount required on the opening
of the railroad to Au Sable. If any
are in doubt about the propriety of
subscribing to aid in constructing the
d., b. C. & A. railroad, let them
read the following from the Ogemaw
Herald of last week. The F. & p.
M. company is evidently on the wing
for Alpena, and their road will not be
in the interest of Bay City:
From gentlemen who has just come
along the new line of road from Harrison
to Houghton Lake, the Herald learns some
points of interest relative to the construc-
ton of the road. This, as is generally
known is branch of the Flint & Pere
Marquette railroad tapping the main line
of the latter road ut Harrison junction,
Clare county, in and continuing north to
Houghton Lake taking in, in its course the
interior railroads of Wells, Stone & Co.,
in this county, and Fields railroad in Ros-
common county, with a possible final ter
minus at some point adjacent to Beaver
Lake with visions of Alpena looming up
| in the near future rs the northern conclu-
sion to most important line of interior
railroad. The work is being pushed as
fast as a large force of men can work Up
to the 18th inst, some 49, miles of track
north of Harrison has been tied and IRON
ed, and the force of men at this work are
only some five miles behind the graders.
Wells, Stone & Co. have about finished
grading their portion of the road bed as
far as McClennan's camp, leaving at the
above date but a mile and half between
their end of the work and the advancing
force of the graders from the Harrison end,
and ere this is read the connection of the
road bed will be made. The Roscommon
railroad furnishes the final portion of the
road to Houghton so that by November
18th the road with be ready for traffic.
The effect of the enterprise upon the i'm
terror of the lumber counties of Clare,
Gladwin, Ogcmaw and Roscommon will be
incalculable and will revolutionize the past
existing methods of numbering and obtain
ing supplies from the front besides open
ing up large farming country to settlers.

and Robert Kincaide, Thursday last
and they will soon commence work al
it.
A party from near Gaylord came
through from that place, last week
looking up the chances for starting a
line Of stages from the railroad to AL
pena, but did not meet with any en-.
enlargement. If they would run tc
this place and connect with the Hill
man stage, we believe they might
make success of it as a great deal
of the travel from Alpena would soon
err go across than down over the cold
plains on the shore. The distance
from Alpena to Gaylord is about &c
miles, and a good road during the
winter season, all the way.

the following:
Rev. A. j. Richards represented
the AL pena district in an encouraging
address. At the conclusion of Rev.
Mr.. Richards address most touch
ing and pleasant incident occurred.
Rev. w. M. Campbell, of Cheboygan,
arose and approached Rev. Rich
ards, and in q few we'll chosen words,
presented to that gentleman, on behalf
of the ministers of the Alpena dis.
trict, in which district Rev. Richards
has diligently labored during the last
year, a beautiful gold-headed ebony
cane. The recipient was deeply NOV
ed, but managed to reply in feeling
terms, thanking his late co-laborers
in the vineyard of God for the tangi-
bic evidence Of their love and respect
for him-"a staff of memory of the
kindly feelings we lean upon," as he
expressed it. The head of the cane
bore the following inscription "From
Alpena District. Love. Sept. 18th

twenty-five fathoms of water.
The steam barge East Saginaw was
built at Marine City in 1866, and was
rebuilt in 1879. She registered 35C
tons, and rated A 2.
