ItKIEF NOTES. WATCH THIS SPACE PI jjjy (LIMITED) GOODS. Marine Matter. Navigation is expected to close in about ten days. The Saginaw Valley arrived in port Friday afternoon.

The Goodrich line steamer City of Ludington was in port Monday. Tbe schooners Elizabeth and Ventnre arrived in port Saturday with cord wood. The schooner Veto arrived in port Saturday with a cargo of bolts for D. W. Britton.

It is understood that the new steam-barge at Duncan's ship-yards will be launched thia week. At Ludington, Thursday, tbe schooner Addie, of Muskegon, struck tbe pier and went on the beach. She was released by tbe life-saving crew. Tbe buoys on tbe bay and at the moutb of Fox river were removed Monday by the steamer Denessen and were replaced by spars, which will remain until swept away by tbe ice. A steambarge with a cargo of 2,000 tons of steel rails for the Winoua Southwestern will arrive in port thia week.

At present there are 2300 tons of steel on the dock ready for shipment. The Escanaba Towing company have secured a contract to release and deliver at Manitowoc the schooner Donaldson, which now lies ashore in Washington harbor. The consideration is 82,700. Tbe steamer Denessen arrived from Sturgeon Bay Friday with a cargo of barley for the Hagemeister Brewing company. Capt.

Theo. DenesRen reports a crust of ice in some places along the bay. It is reported that the steamer K. M. Hutchinson, owned by Captain Bangs, has been laid up at Menasba, for mortgages.

Tbe mortgages are held by H. Lw and A. B. Battes, of Oshkosh and amount to $1,000. Tbe vessel is valued at $6,000.

Tbe steamer Frank L. Vance has arrived in Milwaukee and is now in the dry dock at Wolf i- Davidson's yard. She is quite badly damaged and will, in addition to a new shoe and wheel, require considerable new planking on ber bottom. A considerable portion of her keel aft will also have to be removed. These repairs will run up a bill of costs amounting to fully $3,000.

Y. (This noose reliable.) remains to be seen. It is quite possible that the question so facetiously propounded by Mr. Bertles, may then be satisfactorily answered by himself. Be that as it may, it would cease to be a matter of interest to any of us if tbe canal were used simply as a land drain.

But now it is quite otherwise; and we who are the most interested in tbe Bewer will hope for the best and await results. This much for the 2d and (5th essentials and I pass to the consideration ot tbe others. 1. Capacity. It is susceptible of easy proof that tbe nine square feet of sections area of tbe Stuart street sewer is amply snflicieut to carry off the rainfall for half ot tbe whole area of tbe city of Green Bay.

It tbe sewer were tilled it Jefferson Btreet it would not only be less offensive to the nostri's ot pedestrians, bnt would furnish ample power to run at least one ot the flouring mills near its mouth. One-third or one-fourth of its present capacity is all that will ever be demanded ot it. 3. Smoothness of Internal Surface: What can be said ot this eewer in this respect? Surely nothing commendatory. Its branch pipes are set at square angles in every instance and project from its inner surface toward the center from two to four inches.

Thus, it the sewer were small enough to furnish any considerable velocity to the stream, it would be retarded both by the direction in which the water from its branches join it, and by the projecting ends ot those branches. As to its sides and bottom, tbe cross-planks and stones which compose them are a sufficient answer to the question ot how they compare with tbe BmoothneBS of a pipe-sewer. 4. Narrow Bottom: Well, I do not think the bottom of the Stuart street sewer very narrow. If it had been six inches wide instead of thirty-six, I believe it would have been better than it now is, either for a land drain or for a sewer.

Even the little stream we noticed at the time of last inspection, if narrowed up to four or six inches, would seem quite resistless. 5. Non-Absorbent Material: The stones, mortar, of which tbis sewer was made, are a sufficient comment. The slight layer of cement on the sides can not have made it water-tight aa would have been the case had. the stones been laid in cement, 7.

Convenience op inspection The cover of this sewer consists of heavy flat stones cemented, except where one is left unoeniented at the middle of each block for the purpose of easy removal for in pec-tion. Thus far the inspection has been too laborious to admit of its performance oftener than once in about two years, and whenever this is done the occasion is a notable event. Although this is not the latest idea of a comfortable and easy way of sewer inspection, it may do for the Stuart street sewer, for the whole thing is properly summarized by the one word "monstrosity." A monstrosity is always the pet of its progenitors. Hence the recent article addressed to the gentlemen who three or four years ago made some unpleasant remarks about this sewer. Now I desire to be fair toward this sewer and to the gentlemen who caused its construction.

I have often congratulated myself that, though it be a monster, it runs by my house and affords me ita advantages, for which piece of unintentional kindness I have to thank the gentlemen. But when I see a man of mechanical skill and acknowledged shrewdness pointing with evident or feigned pride to that sewer as a thing of beauty the work of bis hands I am forced to bay what I believe to be true of it.

Wentael, officiating. What Is a Proper Sewer! Editor of The Gazette: I feel that an apology is due both to you and the readers of The Gazette, for ever again writing upon the subject ot tbe Stuart street sewer. It is not from any desire to vindicate any assertion formerly made by me, or anyone else who thought as I did, that I again allude to it, but it is from tbe desire that other sewer-builders may plaoe a proper estimate upon that stone box and not be deceived by such smart questions as the one recently proposed in The Gazette by Mr. Bertles, tbe tenor of which is to establish the idea that tbe Stuart street sewjr is a properly constructed tbiug ot its kind; for if this idea is to prevail, we shall see frequent repetitions of tbe same tolly. It is not now, and never was denied that, simply as a land drain, a canal built after the manner of the Stuart street sewer would be a fairly good thing; though, even for that purpose, it should have had a narrow bottom.

I was repeatedly told, when that sewer was constructed, that the original idea in projecting it was to make it a draiu for tbe water which naturally flowed toward Stuart street from the land lying east and south of it. It was not till we were assured of a public water-works system, and that, consequently, this canal would surely be used as a house sewer, that objections began to be vigorously made to its manner of construction. These objections were good and sufficient in the estimation of many competent judges, and in my belief were entitled to so great weight as to have caused an entire remodeling of the plans and specifications of the sewer, even after tbe contract to build it had been let. I hold that it is a fearful thing to build so permanent a piece of masonry as that is, for a sewer, if constructed on a wrong plan. In a sanitary as well as a financial point of view, no city can afford to make so grave a mistake as this was.

In order to properly elucidate the subject in hand I will briefly state the essential qualifications of a proper sewer with the reasons therefor. It must have: 1st, proper capacity; 2nd, proper grade; 3d, smooth inner surface; 4th, proper form; 5th, non-absorbent material; 6th, permanency; 7th, convenience of inspection. The end in view is: That the sewer shall be practically self-cleansing, either at high or low water; that it shall quickly carry off to its mouth all of the refuse which it receives; that it shall be water--tight. As to size: It is as great a mistake to" have a sewer too large as too small, because a given volume of water, if tiowing through a large tube down a given grade, will ouly partly till the tube aud will move slowly; whereas, if tbe same volume of water be made to flow through a small pipe laid at the same grade, the pipe will be nearer full; the velocity of the flow is increased; the sides of the pipe are thus scoured clean and tbe curreut is so strong that no sediment can remain. As to grade: That it should be sufficient descent to carry off its contents quickly, needs only to be asserted.

AS TO SMOOTHNESS OF INNER SURFACE: That tbis quality is essential iu order not to retard the swiftness of the current, is too obvions to require argument. There should be no angular projections or protruding ends of latterals or branches left for house sewers, presenting hindrances to a swift current. The brauches should join the sewer at an acute, instead of at a square angle, so that each contributing stream may increase the velocity of the maiu current, rather than retard it. As To proper form: Suppose a stream of water 1 an inch deep to be flowing over a flat'surface three (3; feet wide and of slight discent now narrow the bottom surface from 3 feet to ouly 4 inches, when you will have a stream over 4 inches deep whose velocity is much increased because of less friction surface. Which of these streams will be the most likely to deposit sediment, and which will require the shorter time to carry its bnrdeu of filth to its mouth at the river? The auswer is greatly in favor of the narrow stream.

It matters (little whether the form be round, egg-shaped, shaped orV shaped, so long as the bottom is narrow enough to form, in low water, a deep stream in proportion to its width. Non-absorbent material: For sanitary reasons it is obvious that sewers should bo water-tight. Thia assertion needs no argument. As all materials whif are usually used for sewer construction, excepting iron and vitrified pipe are porous, it follows that if a sewer is to be constructed of brick or stone, they should be laid in good cement, and thea the sewer should be coated smoothly inside with tbe same material. Permanency: It needs no argument to prove that this quality is necessary in the construction of a good Bewer, for all admit it.

But the more permanent a bad thing is, the worse for all concerned; hence the great care uecessary when a sewer of stone is to be constructed that it should be properly shaped in every particular, because permanency is one of its iuherent qualities. Convenience of inspection: This essential of a properly constructed sewer needs only to be mentioned in order to be admitted. Now if it be admitted that the seven qualities of a properly constructed sewer above enumerated, are every one essential are necessary features of it, it follows that an absence of any one of these would be inexcusable. What then shall we say ot a sewer in which five of the seven qualities mentioned are absent? In examining the Stuart street eewer, I admit to begin with, the presence of two of the essentials mentioned above, the 2d and 0th. The proper grade and the permanence are there.

The grade in tbis case was a difficult one to establish, and under the circumstances, is probably tbe beet that could have been made. At the time ot the construction ot this sewer, and for several years before that, the water in Fox river averaged some two feet higher than it has this year. At that time, the water in the eewer nearly or completely filled its moutb and backed" up nearly to Adams street. It would have backed up to Jefferson street but for the fact that after tbe construction of tbe sewer was commenced at it month, the tn-ndient was ehantmd. and in this respect, the sewer as made, did not correspond with the figures given to the contractor.

In consequence of this change, instead of several inches of stagnant water at Jefferson street crossing, there has always been running water there. Hence there has never been any good reason for not having preferred a pipe sewer from this point eastward to tbe park. Tbe raising ot the grade and the lowering of Fox nver, have combined to cause the back water to commence much nearer tbe mouth of the sewer than even its projectors expected. Hence the water was found running at the point where the recent inspection was made midway between Jefferson and Adams st. and I am glad to acknowledge that the condition ot the sewer here was better than I anticipated.

Indeed I am informed that this year the water stands much of the time only one or two Inches deep at the mouth of tbe sewer. What the condition will be after six or eight years of continuous high water which we shall have, it history repeats herself, Mm. Cbipmaa has rented of J. P. 0.

r.nA of an Eventful Life. Mrs. Eva haseltine, wife of W. W. Haseltiue, who was murdered at Stevets Tomt April 3, 1838, died in Chicago Thursday night.

Mrs. Haseltine was tbe daughter of Matthew Wadleigb, one of the oldest and wealthiest citizens of Stevens Point, a lumberman and formerly a Wisconsin Ceutral director. About ten years ago she was married to Haseltine, not long after be had commenced practicing law at Stevens Point. June 10, IS30, Haseltine shot aud killed A. E.

Morse, a banker and married man for intimacy with Mrs. Haseltine. Only two days prior to the killing Haseltiue was in Milwaukee, and running short of funds, telegraphed to Morse. As he did so he explained to an acquaintance: "Why, Slore is the best friend I ever knew. He would walk from Steveus Point to this city bare footed for me if he could help me by it." Upou his return Louie from Milwaukee a letter fell into his bauds telling of his wife's infidelity aud Morse's hypocrisy, it having Wen written to Morse by Mrs.

Ilaseltiue. That night and tbe following day were given to an investigation which convinced him of tbe terrible truth, and on the afternoon of June 10, as Morse was driving across the public square, three pistol shots rang out and Morse fell from his carriage a corpse. In the trial which ensued Haseltine was acquitted on tbe claim of emotional insanity. John Curren was brought prominently in the case and a bitter enmity pprung up between him and Qaziltine. While passing Currens house on the night of April Hazeltice bad a load of buck shot fired into him.

Curreu was arrested on suspicion but was apt.Tliriill Aew lloat. Ou the ofd furnace dock, out on East river, Capt. P. F. Thrall is busy with a force of men aud the necessary machinery, building a new steambarge, which is to be completed in time for launching in tbe early Spring.

Two-thirds of the frame is already completed. When completed it will be 1G0 feet in length over all, 33 foot beam and 10 feet in depth. It will be equipped with a Steeple compound engine, which is being built by the Phoenix Iron Works at Tort Huron, Michigan. The total cost ot the new craft will be in the neighborhood of $30,000. She will be put in tbe general freight business on Lake Michigan and tbe bay.

Twelve men are at work on the vessel, and while all haste is being made in the work it is being done well, so that when completed it will be as staunch as any vessel of the same tonnage on the lakes.
