With the advent of March some
interest is taken in marine matters,
and little talk arises OH the OPEN
ing of navigation. During the
past % years there have been six
seasons when navigation opened at
this port in March, by the arrival
of vessel from Bay City or from
some port south of Saginaw Bay,
as follows: March 17th, 1871,
steamer Marine City, from Detroit;
March Goth, 1874, steamer Huron,
from Bay City; March 10th, 1878,
steamer Music, from Bay City;
March 9th, 1880, steamer j. S. Fax
on, from Bay City; March 9th, 1882,
schooner Imperial, from Port SAM
lac; March 31st, 1890, steamer At
lantic, from Detroit. The condi-
ton of the ice in Thunder Bay at
present, indicates that it will be
about the middle of April this year,
before navigation opens. In the
lake there is an immense quantity
of ice.

in his large feet of boats, which are
being rapidly carried out. The
changes in the Grummond line will
be confined to the tug Swain and
the passenger steamers Depere and
Atlantic. The passenger steamer
Depere will receive a new shaft and
wheel and also new engines and
boilers, and will be refitted through
out. Several new state rooms will
be added to her. The Atlantic will
also be refitted and thoroughly
strengthened. She will be given
steel arches and new deck beams.
Changes are contemplated in several
other boats of the fleet, but it has
not yet been decided what shape
they will take.

Wash Goods /!

1t may seem early to talk
of cotton dress goods, but
it is not too early to buy
them. The stocks are now
at their best, and many of
the choicest effects will be
sought in vain as the season
advances. The counters of
wash dress goods are towers
of beauty, we never had the
pleasure of showing a stock
SO grand as the present, and
there certainly is nothing
like it in this city. Not a
yard was carried over from
last season. French mulls,
in floral and conventional
designs, French organdies,
printed nainsooks, swival
silk ginghams, French chal-
lies, French sateens, will be
strong this season, and de-
servedly so.

Kimball Case.

The case of the late Mrs. Herbert
Il. Kimball is well known to our
readers, as mention has been made
heretofore in the ARGUS in regard
to the suspicion entertained that
her death was caused by poison; of
the exhuming of the remains; the
examination by the city physicians,
and the sending of a part of the
stomach to a practical chemist to
be analysed. The chemist made an
examination, and reported he had
found arsenic in the stomach. On
Thursday last the examination be-
fore the justice and jury was re-
sumed. GA. Shannon, undertaken.
testified that he had embalmed the
remains and that the embalming
fluid contained poison. Another
witness testified that no embalming
fluid was injected into the remains.
The jury, consisting of G. d. Brad
ford, Frank Stoddard, A. r. Nc
Kenzie, John Lee, Edward Hutton
and A. b. deChampagne, rendered a
verdict to the effect that Eta NJ
Kimball came to her death by means
of arsenical poison, administered by
person or persons unknown. The
person or persons guilty of poison
ing are not yet known, but certain
ones are suspected of the crime, and
it is probable that an arrest may be
made. 1t is the intention of the
prosecuting officer to proceed eau
tiously in the matter, and not make
arrests on the strength of mere
rumor.

The following special to the De-
troit Journal, from Bay City, is
worthy of the earnest consideration
of Alpena citizens: "There is some
talk of introducing in the Bay City
council resolution similar to the
one recently adopted in Saginaw,
which provides that every new in
dustry be exempt from taxation for
five years. Many of the large prop
erty holders favor taking such a
course, and the idea is well thought
of by a majority Of business men,.
The fact of Saginaw holding out
such inducements to manufacturers
is incentive enough for Bay Cityans
to take action. That the adoption
of resolution Of this kind would
be paying venture in the long
run, is conceded by all /"

There were only ten persons pres
ent at the adjourned meeting of the
agricultural society, held in the
Council Room last Saturday, of
whom seven were farmers. The
Secretary, J. Monaghan, read his
report, which was published in the
ARGUS last week. An interesting
discussion took place in regard to
the past and the coming county
fair, the care of grounds, and other
matters of interest to the society.
The principal object of the meeting
was to elect a President and Treas
urer, and directors from every ward
and township, but it was thought
best to postpone the meeting for
two weeks, and see if a larger at
tendance Of farmers could not be
secured.
