She lies in a dangerous position. Three tugs have failed to float her. The commissioner of navigation reports that American vessels built and documented during the first six months of the seal year number 384 of 113,572 tons, compared with 328 of 88,390 tons, in the first six months of the previous fiscal year, indicating the largest annual output within the last 14 years, except that of 1890 and 1891.

MINNEAPOLIS GLOBULES. The Joannin Hanson company, sash, door and blind manufacturers, has made an assignment to Charles W. Brown. Judge McGee yesterday morning issued an order requiring the creditors of C. A. Carstensen to file releases by Jan. 20, 1898. Charles T.

In spite of the opposition of holiday time, etc., "At Piney Ridge" is being greeted with good sized audiences at the Bijou. Everybody who sees this interesting Southern drama votes it one of the best productions ever seen here. It is a play of natural scenes, natural story and natural players. Christmas matinee this afternoon at 2:30. A report has been filed by the assignee of James McNair showing receipts of $4,370 and disbursements of $735, leaving $3.635 on hand. The assignee estimates the value of the stock still on hand at $5,000, and states that it is doubtful if the real estate and the book accounts will realize anything at all. Lieut. Falk, inspector of rifle practice of the National Guard, is to be banqueted Wednesday evening at the Commercial club by the boys of Company I. There will be music and a programme of toasts. The lieutenant is one of the most popular, as well as one of the most efficient, officers in the service. Daniel Fish, receiver for the Northern Trust company, has filed a supplementary report showing receipts since Dec. 2, $1,620.79; disbursements, $1,223.27, and cash on hand, $4,360.59. With the report are statements of accounts of Biddle & Ward, attorneys of Philadelphia, $813.30, and E. B. Bennett, of Hartford, Conn., $903.35. Theater goers look for something quite out of the ordinary at Christmas time, and those who patronize the Metropolitan today will not be disappointed, as "The Heart of Maryland," the very excellent drama by David Belasco, which Mrs. Leslie Carter and a splendid company have been presenting this week, is in every sense a capital holiday attraction.
