         Death of CAPT. J. E. TURNER - 
         
         CAPT. J. E. TURNER, well known for many years as a popular
       commander on the Lake Superior route, died at his brother's
       residence in Trenton, on Friday, of consumption. He had been
       in declining health for several months past, and about five
       weeks since was compelled to relinquich command of the steam-
       er Arctic, which he has successfully sailed the last three or
       four seasons. CAPT. TURNER, we learn, was born in Cleveland,
       and was, at the time of his death, about forty-five years of
       age. He havigated on the Lake Superior route for upwards of
       twenty-six years, and first assumed the position of comman-
       der on board the propeller Iron City in 1859, retaining that
       position until 1864 to take charge of their new steamer Iron-
       sides, which was designed and got up under his immediate
       supervision, and was finally lost a few days since on Lake
       Michigan. The season following the withdrawal of the latter
       boat from the Lake Superior route, which we believe was in
       1868, CAPT. TURNER took command of the Arctic, from which
       he retired as above stated.He was deservedly popular, a man
       of fine social ******, and many will learn with unfeigned
       regret that his voyage of life has ended at so ***** ****
       of his existence.
