.'.'.. The Weather, yesterday, would have
been very pleasant had it not been for the
wind That blew with great violence, and
whirled clouds of dust through the streets
and along the levee with such violence as
to almost compel g cessation of business. 1t
was almost as much as a mans eyes were
worth to undertake to travel at all, and a
voyage the entire length of a single street,
caused one to present forlorn appearance.
The wind blew in squalls, and, at times,
with great fury, but did no damage that we
heard of.
1.-THE River continues to recede, with
an excellent boating stage of water.
$500. Freights may be quoted as follows
TO NeaC OrLednS-Corn 25c per sack
Pork and Lard soc per Dbl or tieree; To-
baeco 81 per hid; Hay So per ton; Flour
35c per Dbl; Whisky Soc per Dbl. Pound
Freights zoe per 100 lbs.
To st. LOuis-25c per 100 pounds.
To CSncinndti-l2Ac per 100 pounds.
To Parkersburg-15c per 100 pounds.
There are now at least $500 tons of
freight ready for shipment, and it is ac-
eumulating all the time. Prices, however,
have not changed.
$1,000 The Dunbar arrived in the morning
with light trip. Among her freight was
150 bags Of potatoes. The celebrated
Hunt family, who gave some months ago an
entertaining concert in our city, were among
the Dsstbdr's passengers.
1899. The Charley Bo,cen also arrived yesss
terday morning. We tender our thanks to
Capt. Markell for q manifest, which we give
ia another place. The Evansville pony"
will lay by for a week, in order to have
new cylinder placed on board, and other re-
pairs made, when she will be found on the
track once more, and will show the lovers
Of fast running a thing or two. The
SoDfherHer, which made 30 much of passing
the BotUen some days ago, had better look
we'll to her laurels. They may soon wither.
-..-..By a private dispatch we learn that
the steamer Castle Garden, with a heavy
load out of the Wabash, sunk at Cairo yes
terday morning. Her freight will probably
be saved, bat III damaged condition We
understand that the Etna Insurance Com
pany had q risk of So, 402 on her cargo.
1.-THE ArgonGut unloaded large lot
of groceries yesterday morning. We are
indebted to one of the gentlemanly emf
ployees efP. G. ORiley s. Co, for copy
of her manifest.
......Several boats arrived on Thursday
night. The j. w. Cheesendn brought fine
lot of merchandise, and yesterday morning
the landing was thronged with all descrip-
ton of goods for our merchants.
-..-..Ths Atlantic, which lodged on the
reef of rocks at Louisville the other day,
had not succeeded in getting off al very
late hour last night. n. Ledger 8th.
Are you not mistaken in the name of the
boat, neighbor. Our idea is that the At
Eantic is in the neighborhood of New Or
leans about this time.
-----.It having been found impossible to
save the steamer Challenge, she is now
undergoing the wrecking process. 1t is
thought her machinery may be saved.
1.-THE st. Louis Republican of yester-
day reports the river at that point to be
falling, and that all the upper streams are
likewise on the decline. Business at st.
Louis was brisk and the weather cloudy,
with little rain.
-..... We gather several items of interest
from the New Albany Ledger. Its river
column always furnishes us with reliable
intelligence
The new steamer James Battle was this
morning attached by Deputy U. S. Marshall
d. fIa craifo Of Of NJ
bile, who was to have been her engineer,
and who advanced some So, 900 towards her
construction. We believe there are similar
claims to the amount of some $4,000
against the boat. She will be placed in
charge of watchmaR till the court dis
poses of these claims. a5
AHUGn TRIP.-The Choctd,o passed down
yesterday with one of the biggest freight
lists ever carried on one boat. She had
4,e4o sacks oats; 1917 sacks corn /; 6Ss
sacks bran; 1,133 bales hay; 2,162 barrels
-four; 124 barrels whisky; 263 barrels po-
tetoes: 100 barrels beer, LAG hogsheads
tobacco; ooJ pigs lead, and 81 head stock.
She put off 60 tons freight at this point,
included in which were 500 bales of hay for
Sprouse, Wigginton & Co., and got here $50
bales of the staple, which she took for rs
cents per bale. We understand from Capt.
ACOTclRnt, tnte sue paul ~ OaiIo nciIly
So, 900 charges on her freight and that her
whole trip will amount to not less than
$4,000. Who wouldn't run the Big In
