         [extracts of marine news]
         
              On Saturday afternoon about five o'clock as
            the steamer MARSHALL F. BUTTERS was taking in
            timber at the railroad dock, chief engineer
            Durr got foul of the guy rope on the hoisting
            gaff, and was raised several feet in the air
            and precipitated into the water between the
            steamer and wharf. He was under water so long
            that he expected to stay there the rest of the
            week, but being an excellent swimmer, he at
            last reached the surface and was taken out
            looking as pleasant as could be expected 
            under the circumstances. Mr. Durr very gen-
            erously attaches no blame to anyone concerned
            in the accident.

              Capt. Broadbent's resignation as keeper
            of the Life Saving station, has been accepted.
            He returned to Racine last Monday night. He 
            was a good sailor, a careful and competent 
            keeper of the station, and reliable as a public 
            servant.
            
              Charles Tuft has been appointed keeper of
            the Life Saving station here *** Capt. Robt.
            Broadbent, resigned. Capt. Tuft has been a
            member of the crew for a considerable time
            and is an experienced surfman. The appoint-
            ment is a good one and will serve to main-
            tain the present efficiency of the service.
            The station, recently moved from across the
            lake by contractor Charles Gatke, has been
            thoroughly renovated and presents a tasty
            and clean appearance. Its present position
            is the most advantageous that could be
            chosen.
