MISCELLANEOUS MISHAPS. ‘While endeavoring to reach Illinois Central B Slip, yesterday forenoon, the large propeller New York collided with the schooner John M. Hutchinson, carrying away the latter's Jibboom, ‘powsprit, headgear, and port cathead. It took the crew of the Hutchinson several hours to clear gway the wreck. ‘Tho schooner Dan Newhall arrived here yes~ terday morning minus a portion of her deck~ load of cedar posta. Between 500 and 600 posts were lost. The schooner Surprise, coal-laden, isin port. Ber Captain reports that the vessel lost her fiying-jib on Lake Huron a few days since, and @ gafftopsail off Grosse Point on Friday. Upon reaching her dock it was tound that the Surprise had also broken her centreboard while outside. ‘The schooner Cheney Ames is in port minus her large anchor and chain, which were lost at some pointdown the lake during the recent heavy weather. Capt. John M. Long’s misfortunes continue to multiply. Yesterday morning early he received a telegram trom Port Huron announcing that during the previous night the schooner Groton was run into by the schooner Mary Collins and lost her mainmast, The Groton was at the time of the collision lying under the shears xt Port Huron, receiv a foremast in place of one that was recently carried away in the Straits by collision with the schooner John M. Long. Fol- lowing the above telegram to Mr. Long came another announcing the arrival of another of his vessels (the Parana) at Toledo with hor squaresail and lower topsail gone, the canvas baving been lost in heavy weather outside. ‘The schooner F. C. Leighton sprung her fore- mast during heavy weather on Lake Huron. Afterward, while “being towed through the rivers, the barge Ironton collided with and car- yied eway her jibboom, besides breaking her ‘Dulwarks. The schooner Marcia A. Hall recently lost most of her canvas on Lake Erie during a gale. 2 THE LOST NORTHMAN. ‘The Toronto Mail of Friday says: “ Scarcely a . Shadow of doubt now remains regarding the fate of the unfortunate schooner Northman. At anearly hour yesterdry morning the island isherman discovered a boat floating bottom up- ‘wards abcut a mile and a half from the eastern gap. On proceeding to it they found it to be the yawlof the Northman, with the oars still tied ‘w the seats, 2s thobgh the crew had not time to make even an effort to eave their lives. Further outa water-barrel was found and a provision- box was seen floating down the lake, but it was not picked up. A rumor was also current that the cabin bad come ashore entire at Mimico, with the dishes still in the rack; but, although this may not be true, there is no doubt aboys the roof of it being sighted by soveral passing vessels. If these surmises prove correct, the opening disaster on Lake Ontario is a terrible one, for one of the finest of the lake ficet has gone down, apparently without a moment's warning, and carrying with it all un board.” The North- man probably careened under the pressure of an unusually heavy puff of wind and shifted hor cargo so that righting was out of the question. ‘The vessel was laden with 24,000 bushels of corn, taken on at Port Dalhousie for Kingston, She was commanded by Capt. Cadurette, and bad a crew of eight men. GRAIN AND COARSE FREIGHTS. A desire to avoid the payment of sdditional storage led to a fair inquiry for vessels yester- day. anda number of engagements resulted at the current rates. The charters were: To Buf- {alo—Schooner Thomas Gawn, corn at 3 cents; schooners E. Jones, B. F. Bruce, and Ogarita, ‘wheat at 3'4 cents; propeller Nebraska, corn at 3 cents. To Port Colborne~Schooner North Cape, corn at #4 cents. To Kingston—Schoon- ers Mary Battle and Thomas C. Street, corn at 6'¢ cents. To Sarnia—Propeller Nashua and schooner Acontias, corn on through rate. Ca- pacity 198.000 bushels corn and 124,000 bushels ‘wheat. Coarse freight enzagements re] were as folio’ Schooner Mediator, ecdar ties from Ford River to Kenosha at 6% cents; schooner Emeline. dry lumber from Manistee to Chicago at $15) per 1,00 feet; scar J.

A NAUTICAL TELEPHONE. The Milwaukee Sentinel of yesterday has the following, which will be read with interest by owners of barge lines: “Two years ago Prof. ‘Haskins proposed to vessel-owners on the Inkes of making the experiment of keeping vessels with barges in tow in constant communication with each other by meansofatelephone and cali-bell. He left for Europe meanwhile, and the subject was dropped. Yesterday the subject was again brought up, and, before the season is over, the experiment will be made. ‘The idea 1s to put in a telephone on the barge in tow andon the steamer. and uso insulated wire aS aconductor. It is proposed to twist this wire into the tow-line, thereby Sroiding the possibili- ty of a break by the dipping or plunging of the Vessels. itis believed that this will be a great secommodation in cases of severe storms, when itis impossible tocommunicate with yeasels in tow. The only question against its universal adoption throughout the lakes is whether it will ‘be of sufficient value to warrant the expendi- ANOTHER BLOCKADE. While being towed up the river yesterday morning, the coal-Inden schooner F. D. Barker got the red ball at Wells street bridge. ‘The tug checked her headway, but a three-mile current setting in from the lake: about thattime, threw the craft athwart the chanuel and against the head of the centre picr. The jibboom came io contact with the rigging of ‘the schooner Adriatic. carrying away several topping lifts, Yhe damage sustuined by tho Barker consisted of-several stanchions, the covering board and Dulwarks on the port side, near the fore-rigging, eracked and broken. A’ blockade exisied for half an hour, and the vessel, when once out of trouble, was towed up stream stern foremost, SHIPYARD WORK. Last evening the scow S. P.Wilson and schoon- ers Mears and Maria Martin came out of dry- dock at Miller Brothers’ shipyard. The tug ‘Tarrant then occupied one of the vacant docks for repairs upon her shaft and stern bearings. Miller Brothers have the schooners P. §S. Marsh, Annie Vought, Anna Maria, Maggie Thompson, Four Brothers, J. G. Masten, and yacht Idler booked for docking. They are ‘&lso making a gaff for the schooner West Side, aboom forthe schooner D.P. Dobbins, a bow- Sprit and Jibboom for the schooner Erie Belle. a tepeail yard for the schooner Lizzie A. Law. and 4 wspritand jibboom forthe schooner John , Hutchinson. Pi The Chicago Dry-Dock Company announce, among other new work, a centre-board for the Schooner Surprise. EVIDENCE OF GoopATMEs. Detroit Post: Thus far this season the United States Marshal bas not been troubled with ad- miralty business, which is regarded as an indi- cation that good times nuve, iadeed, returaed. Up to April If, 1879, there had been fifty-one cases commenced in the United States District Court since Jan. 1. During the present year but twenty-eight cases have been commenced, the tmost of these having been instituted in January or February, and grew out of fast year’s claims. Since the ‘opening of navigation but fevures have been made, the steam-barge Waiting, schooner L. L. Lamb, and scow Monn. ‘The claim against tho last-named craft hassince been paid.” : A SCREECHER. The tug Bismarck has been provided witha ‘whistle that emits a diabolical sound, combining Rscreech andahowl. Capt. Perrett says he de- sires to make tho presence of his Dutchman and ber tow of barges known to vessels during fogs on the lake. The sound of this infernal machine penetrates to a much greater distance thin that pf an ordinary whistle. Capt. Perrett let her howl, by way of experiment, while moving down tho river a few evenings since. LIBEL DISMISSED. ‘The Milwaukee Sentind of Tucsday says: “Mr.G.C. Markham was yesterday informed from Grand Rapids that Judge Whitney had dismissed the libel of Edward Stretch against the tug Margaret. In June, 1678, the schooner Mary, of which Stretch was master and owner, while entering Ludington Barber in! tow eae ‘Margaret carried around the end of the Re eer raingt which che was pounded by a east and serjousiy damaged. 2famed the mishap wag due to poor seaman- ship on the partof the tug Captain, and sued for'$3,000 dat ‘The defense satisfied the Court that the Mary was wholly in fault, and her etting around the pier was entirely due to the Fact that she hed ber matnenll set, which filed a8 the vessel broached-to in the sea, and carried her beyond the control of the tug- MARINERS TAKE NOTICE, ‘The last issue of the Buffalo Express con! the following: We understand that many of the accidents which havo occurred at the Cut are attributable to the fact that a new light has recently been displayed by the Canadian Light- house Department in that locality, and masters not being aware of its erection have mistaken it for Long Point Light. and only discovered their mistake when it was too late. We can hardly imagine that no notice whatever has been given of its erection, but it is quite evident the notice, if given, has been very insufficient.” MILWAUKEE. Special Dispatch to The Chicago Triana, MrnwAvKgeE, April 24.—The shipyardsand dry- docks have been very busy during the week, and if the present “spell” of weather continues will likely continue busy for some time tocome. In proof of the fact that Milwaukee has a dry-dock that can dock the largest vessels on the lakes, together with their cargoes, it is only necessary to state that the mammoth propeller Commo- dore, 3,082 tons rogister, with 1,000 tons of freight, came out of Wolf & Davidson's dock ‘Wednesday evening, after repairing damages caused by striking on the bar at the entrance of the piers. Her placo in the dock was taken by the propelier Nahant, 909 tons, with a cargoof cedar tics, Yesterday the schooner Millard Fillmore, with 20,000 bush- els of corn, from Chicago for Kingston, was docked to stopa leak; andthe propeller Lake Eric, of the Collingwood and Chicago Line, was docked at the same time to receive anew stem, The large new barge under construction at Wolf & Davidson's is progressing rapidly. ‘Thirty-five frames aro up. ‘Tho propelier Lowell completed repairs and has taken her placo in the Northern Transporta- tion Line. Capt. Sullivan, of the tug Dexter, is sufferi from a broken leg, caused by getting it jamme between tho tug and # scow. «A speedy recovery steam- 4s hoped for. Capt. William Spencer, of the new barge Minnesota, who is initiating Capt. Allison, of the steam-barge Baldwin, into the mysteries of handling # stcam-barge, made a flying visit to Milwaukee on Friday. The schooner Arcturus has fitted out, and wilt leave for Bay De Nogtet with the Arst fair wind. ‘The tug SIU arrived from Racine in tow of the tug Hatferman last Wedesday evening with & looge wheel, and was docked at Wolf & David- son's. She left egain during the night for Ra- cine, She was very anxious to got back, in or- der ‘to keep company with her friend, the Wetzel, Both tugs have had ‘their bottoms greased, and lively times are anticipated. When Wolf & Davidson entered into a con~ tract with the Ford River Lumber Company to build the schooners Resumption and Ford River Mr. Wolt was informed that if the schooners * filled the bill,” and were completed to theiren- tire satisfaction, he would hear from them. During his visit to Chicago last Wednesday ho was called in by Secretary Borland and pre- sented with an elegant suit of clothes as an ac- knowledgment of the satisfactory manner in which tho contract was fulfilled.. It is needless to add that Mr. Wolf feels “ proud” of the gift, not for its intrinsic value alone, but as a me- Gente of the appreciation of the Ford River mpany. United States Marine Inspectors Reed and Fitzgerald returned Wednesday from a trip to Green Bay to inspect the new steamer Hawley. ahs Hawiey is to run from Green Bay to Monas- ue. je schooner Wallballa has received a thor- ough rebuild at Wolf & Davidson's, and is again ready for business. po propeller Nahant left for Chicago this ‘ternoon.

Martin to erect a two-story dwelling, No. 215 Third ave- Due, to cost $4,000. Cosmurssroner Watzer has concluded toread- Vertise for bids for iron water-pipe. He thinks he can get lower figures. . ‘Tue Treasurer yesterday recetved $319 from the Controller, $1,55, from the Water Depart- ment, and $225,000 irom the County Collector. THE City Collector yesterday turned the de- Unquent special assossment books over to the County Collector. Tho warrants are principally for strect improvements, and aggregate $841,- 17, of which $200,000 is for widening State Street, though about $113,000 has been col- Jected on this account, Bros were opened yesterday for tunnoling the river at Harrison street to extend the thirty-six- inch water-main. The bids were as follows: Michuel Clarkson, $22 per foot; E. F. Gabel, $5.75; Joseph Duity, #3: John RB. McNichols, W. D. Cox, ‘$19.45; E. Earnshaw, $24; Vv Co., $21.43; Martin McNichals, $17.50; James Steole, $21.50; Thomas Nash, #26; Jobn H, Stanly, $24; and John Boland, $20.50 per foot. Tho award has not yet been made. 1 Ir was noted somo days ago that the West Side Collector had been a little remiss about settling up. It now appears that he has been twice called upon to settle by the County Collector, and bas made no. response, and that the city guthorities are also atter him. It is estimated that he has about $100,000 belonging to the city and $60,000 belonging to the county. Tho delay is generally attributed to the difficulty in settling up the books of ge large a collection district. ComrLarstT has been made that plumbers are having trouble with the Water Department in fotting water-taps,'etc., and that they are there- y greatly damaged. Inquiry into the facts show that the contractor forsupplying half-inch taps has been a little slow, and for some days recently the Department 'has been unable to supply the demand. There hns been no favorit- ism, however, and all plumbers have been treated alike. This trouble, itis thought, will not oc- cur again, provided the contractor does his part of the work as promised. The Department ro- ceived a supply of taps yesterday, and can ac- commodate any gnd all to-day. PRESENTATION.

A MISSING DOCTOR. Commissioner De Wolf was in receipt of a telegram from Hyde Park yesterday inquiring if Dr. Hall, the North Side "Modical Inspector, was missing. He did not know what to think of it, of course, but just as he was about to answer. in came the Doctor alive and well, and an ex- planation was had.

Pullman's Car-Shops Located on the Border of Calumet Lake. The East-Bound Freight Movement Last Week—Rumors of Cut Rates, No Change in the War Over Mis- souri-Mississippi Frieghts. THE NEW PULLMAN CAR WORKS. There has been considerable speculation during the last few months as to the exact location of the new Pullman car-shops, which is to be the most extensive establish- ment of the kind in the United States. As these shops will employabout 2,000 men, there was great rivalry Mong the various Western cities to secure this increase to their population and add to their commercial importance. St. Louis particularly was very anxious to secure the prize, and up to'a few days ago the people. of that town refused to believe that these works would be located anywhere except at that point. All doubts, however, will now be dispelled by the official announcement that the shops will be located at Chicago. An excellent loca- tion has been selected of what is known as the southeast quarter of Sec. 51, Town of Hyde Park, about three-quarters of a miles north of Kensington. The grounds on which the ex- tensive works will be located comprises about 150 acres, and are bounded on the west by the tracks of the Lilinois Central, on the east by Calumet Lake, on the south by One Hundred and Eleventh street, and on the north by One Hundred and Sixth street. The distance from the Court-House to the new shops will be about thirteen miles. The ad- vantages of the location will be their accessi- bility to the various railroads centering in this city. It is in immediate contiguity to the Illinois Central, Michigan Central, Grand Trunk, “Western Indiana, and Eastern Iili- nois Railroads, and but a short distance from the, Pittsburg, Cincinnati, & St Louis. At Grand Crossing, about four miles to the north, connection is made with the Pittsburg & Fort Wayne and Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Railroads, By means of the old Belt Railroad, now the South Chicago Branch of the Rock Island, easy connection is made with the entire rail- road system of this city. It is also proposed tocomplete the projected canal from_the Calumet River, just south of Brown’s Roll- ing-Mills, to Lake Calumet, and deepen the channel through the lake to the shops, by which means water communicauons witl the entire system of the Great Lakes will be secured. That the location of this gigantic establishment at the above-named point will greatly add to the importance of Chicago as a commercial and railroad centre there can- not be the least doubt. But itis also certain that it will be the means of building up the country around Lake Calumet, both to the ed and west, with manufactories and resi- ences, The erecting shops fronting the Illinois Central tracks consist of parallel structures 690 by 8 feet. The central section, contain- ing the offices, store-rooms, ete., will be 10044 by 100 feet, three stories ‘high, with an im- posing tower rising to the hight of 136 feet. Back of these is a series of four build- ings covering an ageregate frontage of a little over 11,000 feet with a general depth of 200 feet, containing the wood machine shops, boiler and engine rooms, iron machine sho} blacksmith shop, repair shops, ete. Stiit further to the rear are a. ary kiln and foun- dry. The gounds will be beautified with a fine system of parks rlvereayay ete: A fuller description of the’ buildings and grounds will be found in the real-estate column of this issue, 3 {mmediately south of the Pullman shops and east of the Illinois Central tracks will be immense lumber-yards for the storage of lumber used in the construction of the. cars. The land to the north and south of the new shops has all been bought, and will be built up with residences for the '2,000 or more em- Ployés of the gigantic establishment, EAST-BOUND FREIGHT BUSINESS, The east-bound freight shipments during the past week foot up about the same as the week previous. For the week ending April 24, the shipments of flour, grain, and pro- visions were 83,601 tons, against 83,525 the week previous. How light the business is can best be observed from comparing it with the statement for the week ending March 27, when the total shipments Were 79,293 tons. The shipments for the last week would have been much lighter had it not been for the fact thatthe movement of Provisions has largely inereased on account of the reduction of 10 cents per 100 pounds, which went into effect on the 14th of this month. The provision’shipments during the last week were 31,051,008 pounds, against 18,551,914 pounds the week previous, a gain of 12,499,694 pounds, or 6,254 tons, The grain shipments, on the other hand, have dwindled down to almost nothing. For the week end- ing April 17 they amounted to 40,597,300 pounds, while during the past week they were only 27,399,590 pounds, a falling off of 13,- 197,710 pounds, or 6,599 tons. For the week ending March 27, the grain shipments amounted to 44919 tons, so that there is @ falling off in’ this principal article in just one month of 44,919 tons, or about 10,000 tons more than the total ship- ments of erain, flour, and provisions during the past week, A This exhibit. must necessarily convince the railroads that there exists an urgent necessity for another reduction in grain rates if they inean to do any business at all during this summer. They had an idea that they would be able to maintain the present rate— 30 cents per 100 pounds from Chicago to New York—during‘the summer, calculating that the lake rates would be high, owing to the it creased demand for iron ore. coal, and lun- ber. But their hopes have been already dashed to nieces, as there are as many vessels in the grain trade this season as in former ones, and the Jake rates are about as low as formerly, That. under these circum- stances the railroads feel discouraged is not Surprising, and there are already rumors abroad that some of the roads are already trying to increase their tonnage by cutting the rates. It is stated that a reduction of five cents has been made during the last week to two large: grain-re- ceivers at Philadelphia and Baltimore on gtain going to those points. This grain, it 1s. claimed, is being shipped by the Empire Line, As this line runs over the Lake Shore and this read has carried during the past Week more grain than all the other roads combined, it is suspected af haying been the Party that received the benefit of the cut, Should it turn out that these rumors are cor- rect, some trouble among the Eastern roads regarding freight rates may be looked for very, soon. ‘The Grand Trunk still refuses to report the tonnage over its new line. It is reported to be doing a tolerably good business, but Whether it is taking the traffic at Tegu- Jar rates or not is not known, The independent position this road" holds fives the ‘pool lines _ considerable uneasiness, and adds to the troubles regard- ing east-bound freight rates. ‘The following statement shows the amount of business done by the various pool lines during the past week: ey crate Proc lour,|tons of |tons of| Totat Dis." 2000 i | S000 ts tons.

General Manager S.

Whitman, who will have charge of and operate such road a3 an officer of such lessee, -until | ‘ther notice and all reports and Tenitiances wi il’be madeto him until farther advised.” The retention of Mr. Whitman as Superintendent of the road is a wise act on the part of the Milwaukee & St. Paul Rail- road. He is an able and conscientious official, who is well posted with all the details apper- taining to the management and the affairs of this road, having been its Receiver and Gen- eral Superintendent for the last five or six years. He has managed the property with such signal obillEy as to give satistaction to all concerned. The Milwaukee & St. Paul ean do no beter than to make bis appoln' ment permanent.

Oe ee ae ant be delivered at the old Chicago & Pacific depot, as heretofore. MISSOURI RIVER WAR. ' The war between Jay Gould’s Missouri Pacific and the other roads in the Southwest- ern Railway Association goes bravely on, although there was but little change in the situation yesterday. The rates are still quoted at six cents per 100 pounds from Kan- sas City to St, Louis and other Mississippi River points, and 11 dents from Missouri River points to Chicago. Gould is still mak- ing strenuous efforts to bulldoze the Chicago & Alton and the other Chicago roads into su bmission, but thus far he has made no im- ression upon them, and there is no proba- bhity that they will recede from their posi- tion. Gould threatens to withdraw from the Association altogether and play general havoc if the roads do not submit to nis dictation. Butas he has for some time past been acting in violation of the agreement, this threat has no other effect than to cause aquiet laugh. No action has yet been taken in regard to the threatened reduction in pas- senger rates from St. Louis to Missouri River points, and probably none will be taken until next Wednesday, when the regu- lar meeting of the Association will be held in St. Louis. “It is reported that Mr. sey Gould and Sidney Dillon started for the West yes- terday to make a personal inspection of the situation. Itis probable that Gould will be resent at the meeting, and that he will, upon Becoming better acquainted with the situa- uon, retreat from the position he has taken and become more tractable. He will discov- er that the people at the Missouri points who lionized him to such an extent when he was there last’ have changed their opinion about him considerably, and he will find very few people now who will do him any rever- ence. On the contrary it fs very likely, judging by the tone of the papers at those cities that he will receive unmistakablesigns of the temper of the people, who are wrought up to the highest pitch of excitement on ac- count of the discrimination practiced by his roads contrary to his promises. THE WESTERN FREIGHT WAR. Spectal Dispatch to The Chtcago Tribune, Kansas Crry, Mo., April 24—There is no change in the war here between the Kansas Pacific and Missouri Pacific Roads and the other lines in the Southwestern Railway As- sociation. The Kansas Pacific issued a new tariff-sheet this morning, reducing their through rates from Lawrence, Topeka, and one or two other points, but the changes are not material. John Muir, General Agent of the Kansas Pacific, stated this evening that their contract with the Missouri Pacific for an interchange of business had some time to Tun,. and until its conclusion the present rates would be lived up to, He also stated, however, that there would be no advance in local rates or deduction in through rates un- til after the meeting of the Southwestern As- sociation at St. Louis on Tuesday next. APPOINTMENT. Spectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. Ispranapouis, Ind., April 24.—It is now known that Superintendent E. V. McKenna, ofthe Indianapolis & Vincennes Railroad, will succeed J. R. Shaler as Superintendent of the Jeffersonville, Madison & Indianapo- lis Railroad, The official announcement of his appointment fs expected to be made to- day or Monday, as it takes effect May 1. Mr. aler is now in New York consulting with the managers of the Louisville & Nashville with respect to the duties he is to assume on. that date.
