William Simmons Had a Hard Time Reaching Land-- Schooner Was Coal-Laden For R. Crawford & Co. The schooner Acacia, owned by Capt. William Simmons, of Kingston, lies beached at Stoney Point, near Sacket's Harbor, N.Y., and is practi- cally a total wreck. She was laden with coal from Oswego for R. Craw- ford & Co. Late on. Wednesday afternoon Mr. Crawford received ga telephone mes- sage from Capt. Simmons, shortly af- ter he landed with his crew at Sac- ket's Harbor. He said that he had left Oswego. Tuesday afternoon for kingston, but the Acacia had sprung aleak, and he had to run back, . He had difficult work in piloting his "es- place near Sacket's Harbor where he could beach her.

It was nesday afternoon before he and crew landed, being taken off by life saving station crew.

She is: worth ¥2,500 at least. This is the celebrated schooner that was the centre of attraction at Char- lotte, N.Y., on July 4th, 1905. Capt. Simmons had hoisted , Canadian flag on his masthead in honor of the Glorious Fourth. A rabid customs of- ficial came .along and egged on by some irresponsible citizens of that coal trans-shipping burg ordered Capt. Simmons to haul down the objection- able flag. Capt. Simmons refused and threatened * to shoot the first "for- eigner" who came aboard his vessel to interfere with the flag. Capt.

The 'crew ,of the schooner Keewatin which artived here Wednesday, from |Oswego, saw the schooner Acacia run- ning back the previous evening.

The baseball team representing the Royal Canadian Horse Artillery in the senior city league series has de- faulted all its games. This team has not had any too much good luck this season, and as the men are going to Quebec on Monday, they thought it would be better to drop out. They have some extra good players among the bunch, but their work was mot up to thé standard during their games before. Bernier, is the only member of their team who is a real ball player. He is one of the best in the city. « By the R.C.H.A. dropping out, the Emeralds will be given three ames, and the C.L.C., Y.L.C.B.A. and /ictorias, each one game. Gananoque On Friday. The lacrosse game at Queen's athle- tic grounds on Friday should draw a large 'crowd of spectators. Ganan- otjue has one of the best teams in the east, and have put up some fine games during : the season. They have quite a few old-time players down in the Factory Town, and these fellows have heen giving the team all the aid they can. in getting into shape. "Billy" Dalby's bunch has also been working hard and faithfully. A were out to practice last evening than there has heen late: ly and they should turn out even bet ter as every man on the team is peed- ed for the last few work-outs before a game. It is quite a long time since the full team has been out on the local practice grounds, The team will be picked after the practice this even- ing. C.L. C. And Victorias. The baseball game on Saturday af- ternoon between the Victorias and the C.L.C., in the senior series, is drous- ing considerable interest among the players and their many friends. Both teams are working well all week. The C.L.C. have won most games and are at the head of the league, but if they do down on Saturdav, the "Vics. will have a chance of harboring the silverware for one season. Quite ga few bets have been placed on the out- come and ga large crowd will likely be present to see the game. " Sporting Notes.

Does Not Think Much of the Action of the City Council. Ald. Craig, chairman of the water- works' committee, is quite disgusted at the action of the city council, last Monday evening, in referring back the question of building a shed for the waterworks coal, to replace the one destroyed, last fall, by fire. The com- mittee carefully considered the matter, and brought in a report recommend- ing that a concrete shed, without a roof, be erected, at a cost of $2,300, of which the 4 committee has about $1,500 in insuranee for the one burn- ed. Everything was considered, and the opinions of coal men were secured. The superintendent also advocated the shed. Now the matter is thrown back on the committee and the council has adjourned for two months. The com mittee wished to get the shed under construction right away, but is block- ed, Ald. Craig says, by aldermen who do not seem to realize what they did when they allowed the matter to go over. ("oal is needed for the water- works, and there is no place to put it just now. Supplies will have to be purchased in small lots at higher prices, 'Ald. Craig says he won't take any steps to bring the matter before his committee again, It's recommenda- tion went to council, and was baulk- ed, because some aldermen talked about the coal exploding in.a roofless concrete shed, while others thought the coal didn't need any shed, but could be allotved to lie piled on the wharf, and slide into the water or disappear by other 'means. There isn't room at the waterworks for the piling of a large quantity of coal. If there was, Ald. Craig wouldn't advo- cate building a shed at all. There must be a shed, and the sooner one is built, the better it will be for the waterworks. 'Ald. Craig says that the advice of the committee should have been taken, for it was sound. Coal men say the committee was right, but the "'experts'" of the council, not on the committee, advocate delay. It is up to the mayor to make the next move in the matter. Ald. Craig will not issue a 'round robin." Stop The Eruption. The appearance of 'pimples or other eruptions on the skin should always lead to the immediate use of Wade's Ointment.

A very amusing incident ha) N ui bridge, on 'W v hearty laugh was af- ho stood near eno to Tied up below the bridge barges, and as is usual on barges' in 3hia -pazt of the country, they were ma by Frenchmen, and they were not dumb Frenchmen eith- er. On one of the barges was a large rooster, the pet of the camp, and mas- ter of all other mascots in the party. On the afternoon in question the bird was proudly perched on the stern of the barge, giving orders to the crew, when a vy gust of wind came along, and the next thing, the chief of the feathered family knew he was in the cold waters of Cataraqui Bay, making a desperate struggle for land. The bird tried to use its wings, bt they were wet and too heavy for him to use. / He had been in the water a few min" utes before any of the crew saw him, but when they did see him, the fun started. very possible and impossi- ble way was tried to rescue him, and all proved of no avail. Every one on the boats, men, women and children, were all talking- at once, and no one knew what the other was saying. Fin- ally one of the men jumped in. Itis not known whether he jumped in to save the hird or ta get out of the noise of the talkers. A large number of people on the bridge had a good laugh at the proceedings. TICKET-OF-LEAVE-MAN, George Bouchard Removed to the Penitentiary, George Bouchard, who has just been removed from Ottawa to the peniten- tiary, is a ticket-of-leave man, who was sent to the prison for forgery in 1905. He was returned for an addi- tional period of four years. Eighteen months of his unexpired term are also tacked on, so that now he will have five years and a hali to serve. Bouchard was employed at the New Arlington hotel, in Ottawa. He pass- ed a forged cheque, purporting to be signed by a man named McBride, at a butcher shop. The amount was $10, and a Royal bank cheque was used. Bouchard worked this trick all right, but fell down when he presewt- ed a Crown bank cheque for $15, sup- posed to be signed by a prominent citizen. At the store where he en- deavored to pass the cheque, the clerk became suspicious, and went to the telephone to ring wup.- the citizen. 'Bouchard then disappeared from the store, and was arrested by the police a few days later. IS PROGRESSING NICELY. Sewer. Work on the O'Kill street sewer is progressing nicely, under Contractor Lesslie. Three lengths of the sewer have already been put down, and the' drilling has been done for the pther three lengths. Six men are employed on the job.

There is considerable drilling, and this takes up a great deal of time, and work of! a class which pro- ceeds very slowly at times. The best of progress has been made under the circumstances, and Contractor Lesslie is well pleased with the way the work. has been done so far. B. A. Hotel Arrivals.
