He will spend the winter here His yes

The little schooner Florence Smitl

ton into our harbor on Friday last, SCI
out on Saturday for Pine Lake where
she IS to get cargo of lumber. Slt
anchored on Saturday night little soutt
OF the Point, but set out on her journey
on Sunday.
HERzoG Bros, who sought to secure
the contract for transferring passengers
from the c. & \. ". depot to that of the
I. i z. NJ. say that they were informed
there would be no through tickts sold
and that the line across the lake would
be discontinued in the spring. PLEASING
news, this. If true, the people of Mani,
towoc should pay their respects to the G.
Il n. W.
The barge Amboy, one Of the Mil
waukee Tug Boat Line, came here yes
terday IN tow of the tug Welcome.
She is TO be strengthened at the yard

winter here and receive a new boiler.
Tie rumor that the Vanderbilts have
purchased a controlling interest IN the
Aewaunee Line and that the c. / n. W.
has purchased the Ashland branch OF the
n. z. continues to be reported IN Chicago
papers, The line from the head OF the
lake IS to be on the line purchased from
Duluth to Ashland, on the Mil. L. S. Il
". to New London, from thence over the
Green Bay X WInona to Green Bay and
over the Kewaunee line to Ludlngton
It Is reported that two transfer boats are
Ia process of construction now for use
between Kewaunee L Ludington.
The Green Bay Gazette interviewed
President Abrams of the Kewaunee &
Green Bay Road with reference to the
rumor, but he dlsclaimed all knowledge
Of it, but thought it would be a good
thing. He did not know whether the
eastern stockholders had sold or not.
Gen. Manager Champion denied the re-
port.
There is no further talk of a slip being
put IN here, though in the Fall people
were contiden: that we would have an
elevator and coal docks on the lake front.
We should not despair of these things
yet. The opening of spring will settle
great many things now in doubt. 1t does
not seem at all reasonable that the G. &
\. ". would abandon its property here,
and until it is certain that such is its in
tention, We should not abandon hope.
One Of the T. & p. NJ. boats arrived
here on Sunday night, the first trip OF
the season. It cleaned out the ware
house and left on Monday noon. There
was only one car load of local freight but
a greater quantity would have been on
hand fit was known to a certainty that
the boats would run.
The agent ". w. Milford Is a young
man Of pleasing address, courteous and
apparently full of business. He has made
quite favorable impression on all the
business men here he has met. He says
the prospects for a good trade are quite
encouraging. Mr.. Seymour Of the G. &
n. W., he says, is quite sanguine of large
shipments Of -four by this route during
the winter. Mr.. Tyson, Mr., Mulford's
foreman, is likewise a young man and a
stranger IN the city.
The continuance of this line would
prove a blessing to our business men.
There are many industries here whose
interests demand a line across the lake
and permanent one. 1t is said that the
present line is to continue only during
the winter and that through passenger
tickets from POINTS west of here will not
be sold; thai local rates will be charged
for tickets to Manitowoc and parties de-
string to go east must purchase tickets
here. This is discrimination against the
line by the G. & \. w. which will not be
pleasing to the people of this city. Every
etfors should be made by bo.h roads tc
make the line permanent and profitable
