and engaged the tug Effie l. to tow
him back to the Sweetheart. A sec
ond attempt was then made to raise
the anchor, but the windlass levers
still refused to do what was required
and the anchor could not be raised
BY that time the Effie had returned
to port. During Saturday night sig
mails were made for tug, but were
not seen, but on Sunday the Sweet
hearts signal of distress was seen and
the Effie went out a second time and
brought the windlass gear to port.
The necessary repairs were made, and
this time they proved all right, and
by Sunday night the anchor was up,
and the Sweetheart started Oh her
way to Chicago. The captain was
somewhat frantic at losing a good run
to the straits together with three days
lost time, besides mourning considera-
BILE extra expense.

The glove contest to a finish last
Thursday night, at the Opera House,
between VIM. Butts and Ed. Nesbitt,
of Detroit, came TO finish too soon
to be pleasant to the many spectators
who had each contributed fifty cents
to see the expected smuggling. Two
rounds were fought and then Butts
claimed the fight on foul, which was
granted by the referee. The two
rounds were vigorous ones, and it APP
pears that Nesbitt would have out
winded Butts, if the fight had contin-
ued for any length, and then knocked
Butts out. That seems to be the
general impression of those present.
There is one thing to be considered,
the sluggcrs make their living by such
affairs, and if fighter can come out
many dollars ahead by winning on a
foul or any other trick of the ring, he
would be very foolish to throw away
his chance and keep on fighting with
the sure prospect ahead of getting
licked and the tail end of the receipts.
Of course such a termination to a
smuggling match is not pleasant to the
spectators who furnish the necessary
half dollars. A slugging match very
seldom gives satisfaction, but then the
people will 60. A match that would
give the most satisfaction, is one in
which two men would knock each
other all to pieces, and then the ref
cree could gather the remains in a
pail.

The steamer City of Mackinac left
her landing at this port "Wednesday
noon last, for Detroit. AS usual she
was being towed out of the river stern
first by one of the barbor tugs
When abreast of the Hitchcock
wharf, the steamer Metropolis, which
was at that landing, let 60 her lines
and steamed out ahead of the Macki-
nae. BY the time the Mackinac had
been towed out of the river and had
turned round and got under motion,
the Metropolis must have been over a
mile ahead. The Metropolis turns in
the river and thus does not have to
back out. Both steamers had to call
at Harrisville, from which place the
steamers left at the same time. From
Huntsville to Oscoda a lively race
took place. Neither could gain much
on the other and thus they kept about
abreast. Each was doing her best.
The strife was for third place. The
Mackinac was heavily loaded-mostly
pig iron. The Metropolis was light.
The distance from Harrisville to Os-
coda is about twenty miles. The Me-
tropOlis was bound to have third place
among the Alpena steamers. Her
coal reserve was drawn on. The
Mackinac was not backward about
firing up. The race got exciting. 1t
was nip and tuck. The Metropolis
proved to be the fastest steamer and
she got to the Oscoda wharf, made
her lines fast and got out her plank
before the Mackinac reached the
wharf. The Metropolis felt so good
over the victory that she took
recreation and did not make her
Friday trip to this port with the mail,
arriving about noon Sunday. AS re-
CARDS speed, the steamers on the AL
pena lines stand in the following Or
der: City Of Alpena, Arundel, Me-
tropolis, City of Mackinac, Atlantic
and Flora.

The steamer Metropolis failed to
bring mail last Wednesday. Her
officials report there was no mail for
her when she called at Oscoda on her
way up, but the Oscoda Saturday
Night says: "The Metropolis went
up Tuesday night, Tor rather Wednes-
day morning. and left all the. mail
for up shore on the dock there. The
porter, whose duty it is to take the
mail on board, was asleep and did not
wake up till she had lett here"

Jas. B. White, of Long Lake, has
lost two valuable horses within the
last two months, and the veterinary
surgeon says the cause of the death of
the animals was doubtless strychnine.
Mr.. White is of the opinion that some
enemy perpetrated the deed. If such
be the case, and we have in this coun-
ty any person or persons who would
resort to such methods, the sooner
the country is rided of such beings
the better for the community.

The iron dog on the log carriage in
the Bay shore mill of the Messrs.
Churchill, fell against the circular
saw last Thursday. The saw was
making about 900 revolutions per
minute at the time. There was a
terrific crash, and before any one
could realize what had happened, the
huge circular flew to pieces. Some
of the pieces went through the roof
of the mill, but, fortunately, no per-
son was injured.

fortune to have the greater part Of

big reef, last Monday-some forty
miles out in the lake. She was steer

piece of the rudder7the counter
balance-that remained. The rud-

to Bay City, at which place she will be
locked. 1t had been the intention to
take her to Bay City this week, if the
rudder had not broken. as she was
leaking.

The iron pipes have been laid from
the gas works to near the bridge-a
distance of over one mile. The course
is up State street to Dunbar street,
then to First street, then to Chisholm
street, where the line branched off
one part extending down First street
to Water street and the other up CHS
holm street to Second street, and then
down Second street to Water street.
On Second street the pipe is laid I'M
der the sidewalk at depth of five
or six feet. The joints of the iron
gas pipes are soldered together so as
to prevent leakage. The work of
laying the pipes is commendable, as
far as regards promptncss, and public
travel has not been much delayed.
Mr.. De Mill has restored the streets
and sidewalks to as good condition
as can be expected, with the exception
of mound over the pipes in streets,
and which will take some time to pack
down as solid as it was prior to being
dug up. =.
Vigorous work has also been done
at the gas house, and the machinery
is being rapidly put in position. 1t
will not be long before gas can be sup
D lied to such citizens as desire it.
