It May Cost Thousands in Traffic Delay. Detroit, Oct. 10.--A steamer bloock- ade that wll mean the loss of many thousands of dollars is on at the St. Clair Flats canal, one of the three erucial points in the line of the great lakes traffic. All traffic between the upper and lower lakes of vessels load- od to draw more than ten and a half feet must be suspended, excopt for those which squeeze through a 75-foot pas- sageway, The huge bulk of the steam- er John N. Glidden reposes on the nar- row ship canal, prohibiting practical ly all passages. The Glidden, bound down, was rammed in the bow by the fleet trust barge Magna, in tow of the steamer Empire City, and sank immediately in such a position as to leave but 75 fect of the 202 feet width of the channel clear. Captain Smith of the Glidden imme ately com- municated with the manager of the line in Cleveland, who ordered the Great Lakes Towing company's light- er Newman sent from Detroit. When the Newman reaches the scene of the accident an attempt will he made to lighter the 1,900 tons of iron ore, the cargo of the Glidden, but it is doubt ed whether this can he accomplished, as the decks of the Glidden are flush with the surface of the water in the canal. The Magna was apparently not seriously injuced, and at noon had parsed the seventy-five-foot open- ing with the assistance of a tug. The government officer has issued these in: structions : "Until something can be done to secure a large open way be- tween the Glidden and the east pier, all boats of light draught must .use the old channel, all heav y-draught up- bound boats must anchor in Lake St Clair, and down-bound boats must anchor in 8t, Clair river, well above the canal, until 'notice of their turn to pass through the canal, and all up-bound boats passing through the seventy-five feet opening must he pro- vided with at least one tug, and all down-hound boats must have two tugs." These Hymns Were Once Sung. A writer in the Outlook, discussing the old subject of meaningless hymus, hymns whose timent is false, unpoetio or in bad taste, has been turning over the of his great- grandmother's hymn ok. "She Joved to ng His praise in His temple," her epitaph says. And here is what she sang : " And whosoever wicked is, And enemv to the Lord, Shall quail, yea melt, oven as lambs' Rrease, Or ike that flies abroad." Or this * Why dost withdraw thy hand abacke, And hide it in thy lap ? 0. pluck it out. and be not slacke To give thy | a ran." And was it only a hundred fears ago since this was sung in worsfip ? * Conceivea m sin, O wretched state, Befure we draw our breath The first young pulse begins to beat Iniguity and death.' -- St. James' Church.

Montreal, Oct. 10.--It is announced that the directors of the Molson's Bank have decided to grant a general bonus to the stafi in recognition of their work in the bank's behali. The institution has passed a very prosper- ous year and there was a desire on the part of the directors that the em- ployees should participate in the bank's prosperity.

They ar rived in Montreal last July on the way to the United States, the father and son passed the medical examina: tions required by American immigrant inspectors and crossed the border, but the mother and two daughters had to remain here. They went to a board- ing house. As all three were afilicted with a peculiar disease of the eyes, the proprietor's suspicions were arous- ed and he reported the matter to the board of health. Dr. Laberge sent an inspector to the house and he found the women were suffering from trac- 'homa. They were at once isolated. There is nothing in the regulations to provide: for such cases, but it is thought by the board of health that something should be done to prevent dumping in Canada of rejected immi- grants, INCIDENTS OF THE DAY.
