carried by that house, but only an idea. In
the display vera all sorts of untensils, in
the shape of Stransky steel ware, now being

Besides. there was a beautiful display OF
fancy lamps, shades, rugs. and other pretty

The Barge Lathrop's Adventure.

Last Thursday the propeller Garden
City was crossing Saginaw Bay, having in
tow the barges Russian, Light Guard and
Lathrop. The latter was the last Of the
tow, and had 100 tons of coal on deck.
Captain James Glenn was in command.
A very heavy sea was running, and the
Lathrop was rolling heavily. The port
shrouds Of the foremost suddenly and I'M
expectedly gave way, and the foremast
Immediately fell over the starboard side.
Almost at the same time the mainmast
broke and fell over the port side. The
foremost unstepped and tore up portion
Of the deck. Both masts had about two
feet Of stump left projecting above the
deck. The crew went to work at once to
free the barge from the wreckage. The
surglng Of the barge caused the tow line
to part, and the wrecked vessel went
adrift. The heavy sea that was running
made it impossible for the propeller to
pick up the wrecked tow, and the only
thing Captain Foster could do was to
come here with his other bargcs.
Captain Glenn and his men soon got
their vessel cut adrift from the fallen
spars, sails and rigging, and managed to
make little sail with few square feet
of canvass hatch cover, and that, to-
gether with the forcastle house, which
was on deck, enabled him to get his dis
abled craft before the wind, and she sail
ed about four miles per hour. The big
waves ran faster than the boat, and some
Of them piled tons of foaming water over
the stern. One sea filled the cabin full.
On Saturday the Lathrop reached the
Manitoulin island, Ontario, and Captain
Glenn was fortunate enough to find good
anchorage. The anchors were lot go and
the Lathrop was then in comparative
safety.
In the meantime great alarm was mani
tested here in regard to the crew. Mr..
Gilchrist sent both the tug Frank w. and
the propeller Garden City to look for the
missing barge, and the tug found her
where she had anchored on the Canadian
coast. The Frank w. and the Lathrop
arrived here about midnight Sunday, the
crew being all right.
The Lathrop leaked but little during
the eventful trip, and, except to masts
and rigging, is but little damaged. A
small part of her deck load Of coal was
thrown overheard.
Captain Glenn deserves great credit fol
the manner in which he handled his craft
after she became disabled, and he had a
great deal Of hand shaking to do with
friends after his safe return.

done by s. j. Dellone, OF Baltimore, a
professional at such work. We think
Mr.. Dellone has done his work we'll.
especially In writing the short blographi-
es of citizens and the notices OF business
houses.
All the illustrations, except two, were
made by the we'll known Levytype en-
craving company, OF Chicago. That
firm has given good zinc etchings for a
work Of this kind, especially the portraits
and buildings. The photo-engravings are
not adapted for work like our supple
ment, and some do not come up TO what
we expected OF the engravers.
AS regards the advertisers we think
they have made good investment of the
few dollars each subscribed, for not only
is copy sent to every subscriber,
but, between two and three thousand
extra copies have been printed for circu-
lation.
Each advertiser, who has paid is en-
titled to from 10 to so copies OF the work,
and they can get the copies promised
them by Mr.. Dellone, as per a written
statement left with us, by calling at this
Office this afternoon.
OF course we do not expect every one
will be pleased, but we do think, for the
amount Of money invested, 1t is q good
work, and we know that neither the can
vasser or publisher has made more than
fair wages out Of the work.
or course we could not let an opportun-
ity like this pass without remembering
our subscribers, thus we arranged it
in the shape of a supplement, so
that we could send free Of charge copy
to each subscriber, as q little memento of
Thanksgiving.
Extra copies can be obtained at this
Office for 10 cents each.

THE Broom Maker" by James REILLY
and his company at the Whitney Grand
Opera House, served to introduce to local
theatre goers a comedian in the person o I
MIR. REILLY, who is superior in many re-
spects to the, German dialect comedians
now before the public, and is destined to
attain the same popularity enjoyed by J.
X. Emmett In his prime. There are many
points OF resemblance between him and
Emmett in his best days. Like Emmett
from his first entrance on the stage, Mr..
REILLY Is en- rapport with his audience.
His representation OF Yohann, In '"rhe
Broom Maker" is characterized by a
hearty manliness, grace and refinment,
and n lightness In action that quickly
captivates theatre goers. AS a singer,
there Is now no German dialect
comedian on the stage who Is his equal.
His voice Is strong and resonant, and he
can electrify an audience by his yodling.
His humor Is unctuous and never descends
to vulgarity. His success was unique,
and the applause showered on him during
the evening ought to convince him that
he will be given cordial reception on
future Appearances. Free Press.

For some days last week the schooner
Wilcox lay anchored in the bay, badly
disabled, owing to q leak. She was laden
with full cargo Of soft coal. After
waiting some time word was received to
unload at this port, and she was towed
into the river last Sunday. Owing to the
water in her, she was sunk so low that
her deck was but little above the water,
and, although there was water enough in
the river to allow her to be towed In, she
could not be got to the Gilchrist wharf.
A lumber barge was placed between the
Wilcox and wharf, and used as a founda-
ton to hold the walk for the coal barrow
men, and Monday last the work Of taking
the coal out Of the leaking vessel CON-
menced.
