         An Engineer Killed - GEORGE SWEENEY, second engineer of
       the tug Wilcox, was killed on board that steamer on Thurs-
       day evening near Port Huron under the following circumstances.
       The engine had stopped on the centre when the deceased
       undertook to again start her without first shutting off
       the throttle. On the engine again starting he was caught

       a young man, unmarried, and had friends residing near
