independence is in danger of being sighted be-
cause he hasn't the number Of dollars that
another mar possesses. AS to doctrinal
points he believes the general conception Of
the Trinity false and leading away from the
Triune God. Other points are the doctrine
on hell, and that Of the impossible depletion
of heaven. Doctor Jenner recently visited
England, where be says he was made a bishop
of the Church Of England in the presence OF
three bishops; emitting in tho ceremony the
two portions of swearing allegiance to Queen
Victoria and obedience to the archbishop OF
Canterbury, and taking the title OF Bishop
Cosmopolitan. He says be will make Detroit
the point of radiation Of a new sect, called
the Anglican Free church. In doctrine it is
to be one with the Church OF England, but
will be supported by voluntary contributions,
with no salary for its rectors and no pew
rentals. Being a bishop Of the Anglican
rather than the Church OF England,
holding q sort of rowing commission in the
army Of the priesthood, the bishop cosmopol-
tan expects to sow the seed OF his sect any
where and every where, and is said to be very
earnest and hopeful Of revo%lutionizing the
present fiIidficlaf system vi tho EPSSoPaf
church in America.
The first chapel of the new church was re-
Gently opened on Dufiield street, Detroit. In
the address delivered by him at the opening
of the chapel he set forth his views very for
chilly. A local paper says:
Bishop Jenner is about 3 feet : inches high,
weighs about 100 pounds, has dark hair, clean
shaver face, a large head and very large intel
lectual faculties. He Is a man likely to succeed
Ia his present undertaking.

SHEER BODY AND HALF BREADTH PLANS.

The vessel to be constructed on Lieut..
Seabury's model is TO be built Of steel through
out, the top of tie well to be covered with q
watertight cover to allow the centerboard TO
be removed whom the vessel is in dock. A
watertight tube leads the lifting purchase
Of the centerboard to the upper deck. The
following are the main dimensions: Length,
lOl feet 9 incnes; length Of load line, 81 feet;
extreme beam on load water line, q feet ] IA
inches; depth of hold, 10 feet 4 inches.
The yachts which have won the Americas
cup have successfully grown deeper in hold.
The Puritan is $ feet, the Mayflower 9, while
the Volunteer measures ~ feet u inches to
q beam Of % feet. Lieut.. Seabury now In.
tends 20 90 two feet further in depth and re-
duce the beam one foot, thus giving room for
the new plan of centerboard.
Beyond the advantage of leaving the space
between decks free fer cabin room, the new
vessel is expected to combine the sailing ad-
vantages Of both cutter and centerboard
yachts, without the disadvantages of either.
She will have nearly the draughts Of the cut
ter and nearly the Seam Of the centerboard.
She will nave the assistance of the board, and
her cutter depth will enable her to carry sail
with a cutters advantages.

RAFT on WAITS.

pojnt. and The steamer Miranda was to have
& 5000 for towing it to New York, but unfor-
tunately lost it at sea. The loss is due 10 the
fact that the captain failed to get started on
the tow in November, as agreed. and did not
leave Nova Scotia until Dec. z, just as the
worst Of the season was beginning. For con-
veniencc sake it is called n raft, but in fact it
is rather a ~''trunk'-not lat upon the waters
like q raft, but in the form OF pressed cigar,
bound together with chains, rising high
above the surface, drawing nineteen feet OF
water when first launched, and calculated to
draw ~twenty-one when well soaked.
1t was the outcome OF an attempt to
cheaper lumber transportation and to bring
longer logs than most Of the lumber vessels
can transport. Very few vessels in that line
can bring more than 100 tons each, so it
would REQUIRE 90 or 100 vessels to bring the
lumber in this raft, at a cost of over $4,000,
whilo the raft could be lowed for 5000, and
putting it together would not cost more than
$4,000. This mass of logs is $50 feet long, G3
feet wide and SO feet deep, 50 at the start
lust half of it was above water. 1t was Sc
cured by n patent network Of chains, and was
put together in Chignecto bay, the upper ex-
tension of the Bay of Fundy. 1t is 80 miles
thence to New York city, and it was esti-
mated that seven days would be enough for
the towing; and Messrs. James b. Leary, the
owner, and Robertson, the designer, of the
raft, employed the steamer Miranda, Capt.
Henry G.. Leseman, of the Red Cross line, TO
do the job. The Miranda is a 1900 ton
steamer, capable Of making thirteen knots;
but the best she could do with the raft was
eight knots and the average was but
three and q half. The contract was
for the tow Oh the regular trip Begin
ming Nov. Is to II, but the passengers
objected, and the shippers who had potatoes
aboard demanded a quick trip before freez-
ing weather, and so the tow did not start till
Dec. z. There was a storm every day, and
some OF them were serious. The hawsers
were unequal to the strain, and Capt. Lese-
man claimed that the raft tossed about so
wildly that it threatened the destruction Of
the steamer. When the hawsers slackened,
the fog being much of the time so thick that
the raft could not be seen from the steamer,
the captain had reason to believe that the
waves would dash them together; and again
when the sea separated them the hawsers
frightened with a jerk that threatened
destruction to Ill on board. And
yet the fact that they made
l9O miles the first day, before the storms
came on, proves that in good weather the
tow could easily havs been completed in a

FINANCE AND COMMERCE


RgvIEw.
NEW YORK, January 3.-The STOCK
market, contrary to expectations o the
bulls, opened lower and continued fever
ish with downward tendency. London
inactive, Boston selling Union Pacific,
Chicago sold st. Paul and other grangers,
Philadelphia sold Reading, and the room
traders "had Q hack" at everything.
Sales to noon were 81 800 shares. The
news was of the cast as before, every
thing combining to discourage holders OF
stocks. No improvement In the West,
but the main factor was the labor troubles
among the Reading railroad employees and
the almost certainty that the miners
would 90 out in q body either this after.
noon or Tomorrow. As the day elapsed
the news from this quarter grew worse.
1t was anticipated that after the first there
would be aperceptible easiness In money.
The contrary was the result as exhibited
to-day. On dividend paving collaterals
money was firm at 8 per cent, on others
ST to d. Rates that have ruled for a
month past. After delivery hour a Phil.
adelphia special stated that the street had
q rumor that the executive committee
OF the Knights Of Labor had ordered the
men back to work-presumably the rail-
road men. This caused a slight rally in
Reading but fell flat on the rest OF the
market. Close was dull and uninterest-
ing. No feature. Bonds dull, tendency

READY TO LAUNCH.

week. At length the strain on the hawsers
became 50 great that the steamer had no
''life," as sailors say; that is, che was held
down instead Of riding the waves; the sea
broke over her in solid banks, and the sudden
jerks of the raft made it impossible for one
to keep his footing on the vessel. Finally
the big fifteen inch hawser broke, and the next
lurch Of the raft tore the ten inch one from its
fastenings and carried away some fifteen feet
Of tho bulwarks. This was Oh Sunday,
Dec. IL, and the Miranda at once made
for Whitestone, L. l., leaving the raft
TO tho winds and waves. When the
news reached the Maritime Exchange there
was a general apprehension expressed for the
transatlantic vessels, in whose track the raft
will soon be; and a dispatch was sent at once
to the secretary Of the navy requesting him
to send vessels to destroy it and warn incom-
ing vessels. The photographic office also
sent warnings to vessels. There is, of course,
but n chance of striking it; but a much greater
chance than of colliding with another vessel,
as tho raft can be seen but a short distance
on the water and has neither lights nor sig
mails. \ man Of war has been detailed to look
for the lost raft.

LIEUT.. SeABURY'S YACHT.
A New Craft of Unusual Design to BE
Constructed.

Lieut. Seabury, Z. s. n, has constructed
a model which is intended to cover the adj
vantages Of both centerboard and cutter
yachts. His plan is to confine the center
board below the berth or living deck, thus
doing away with tho necessity for the parti-
ton of the cabin into two parts, the objec-
tionable feature of the present model OF the
centerboard boats. He makes the depth
much greater in proportion to the breadth OF
beam. The centerboard will extend verti-
cally only to the lower deck. The increased
depth of the model permits this, leaving the
space between decks unbroken for cabins.
