The Delay in DuilaAng Captain Sea. manss Reur-mastsr The William Nselyss Launchlng gDay-Founaatl0ns or Pllane Nsosssary-On . Geological Dxcursion-Ths Urging of Fourth of July Dells-Listsned 60 she Marets Argumenss - The Details or Ice On account of the destruction of the two vessels in couxss of construction at Madison, the building of Captain James N. Seaman's new vssssl will be delayed some three months. Captain Seaman had contracted to have his new vessel built as soon as the two vessels, since burned, were launched, and had the larger part of the frame at the yard, but the builders have decided to use this frame in schooner for Captain Handy of Cape Cod, whose vessel was burned. This seems pretty hard luck for Captain Seaman, as he was hoping that work on his new ves- eel would begin next month; and in this dis appointment his many friends will share, for 1t really seems pity that 50 able a com. mAnder should be kept on shore 90 long. Captain Seaman has not yet decided where his vessel will be constructed.
 The launching day of the William Nicely has not been fixed. Meantime, work in completing the vessel is going forward. The rigging is being set up and completed and some minor improvements of wood and metal work rushed forward; SO that the failure to launch on Wednesday is no serious detriment to the vessels completion. It Ia necessary to split and pick out all of the wooden wedges used in getting the keel to bear upon the launching ways and this is slow work. New launching timbers must also be put in place and well slushed, before | the launch can como off; so that the day when 1t Is hoped the Nicely will plunge into sea for sure, has not been designated. It is no infrequent occurrence In shipbuilding | for vessel to stick on the ways in launch- ing.
 At the Barnesville bridge building sites, work goes on with rush. To secure foun. dation for the big storehouse that tho Old | Colony Distilleries company are to build | just north of their distillery, it was nscessa- | " to drive scores of long piles in the dser | mud for foundation. This has been com. plstsd, and work on the superstructure ha' begun. Nearly opposite, at the site for ths new building of the New Haven Electric Light company, another lot of piles are be- ing driven by Waterhouse q Go.
