MARINE.

The Str. City OF Charlevoix is now
lighted by electricity.
The following is the report of the
Manitowoc harbor for the week:
The Schr. William Finch brought
cargo of 500 cheese boxes from All
napee.
A sailor on the schooner Charles E.
Wyman was knocked overheard and
drowned while the vessel was between
Two Rivers and kewaunee on Sunday
last. He was swept overheard by the
main boom.
Knud Nytagen and Captain Olson
have sold The scow Phoenix to the George
Pankratz Lumber Company. She will
be stripped and converted into barge
TO take the place of the Mauitowoc which
has been in use for several years.
The schooner T. G. Nilsson left this port
| on Sunday last with rather peculiar
cargo. She had on 100 small forest trees
which are TO be replanted In Chicago.
| She had in addition 90 bundles of brush.
| This has been com ng to the city fer
some time. What use the brush is TO be
| put to no one knows.
I. S. Steamboat Inspectors F'itz-
gerald and Chapman were IN town
yesterday inspecting the Str. Chicago
of the Goodrich Line and the Propel-
Ter City of Charlevoix of the Northern
Michigan Transportation Co.
The City of CharIevoix of the
Northern Michigan Trans. Co. has
been heightened and remodeled at
Burger Il Burgers yard and Is now
very handsome looking craft, She
will be ready to leave here the latter
part of this week Capt. VIM. FINN
can is her master.
The malicious idiots who enclose com.
munlcations in bottles and drop them
into the lake for the purpose of deceiv-
ing people are still at work IN this cruel
practice. The latest is a message in q
glass jar apparently coming from the
chief engineer Of the Chicora. This Is
the second message of this kind which
has come to torture the relatives OF these
, lost men.
The Sturgeon Bay Advocate is IN re
ceipt of letter from Captain Fr1etscf
who crossed the Atlantic alone in the
; little Nina. He has been lecturing il
} FINLAND, his old home, where he was
> called by the death of his mother. His
> family are with him. The Nina was ex
hibited in theater at Manchester. Eng
| land. He will take her across the Nortl
Sea and exhibit her at Copenhagen anc
Stockholm. He has been offered gooC
? prices for her but will have her brough
! back to the United Statese He will pub
llsh bis logbooE. The captain has som,
thoughts of making Sturgeon Bay hi
? home.
, Though lake commerce opens thi
: spring in rather a discouraging way, tn
belief among well informed persons i
that this will prove very protitabl
season for owners OF vessels. 1t is esti
: mated that not less than 100000 tom
: of ore will be shipped by BOAT from tn
iron mining regions of Lake Superio
2 this season. Shipments of coal will g.
a heavy and the lumber trade will SUITE
, shipments will fall below the average
Passenger lines are also hopeful Of larg
| business.
