8 miscellaneous. ad8
The bad weather and rain of Sunday
night and yesterday, interfered somewhat
with business, though the landing present.
eds lively appearance, and the arrivals
were large.........The Cora s., Rebecca, Min
nicola, Glendale and Rose Hambleton. had
good trips. The Starlight and Bermuda
were rather light........TheM inneola, Glen
dale, and Hambleton discharged consider
able freight, including a large lot of gas
mains by the latter, for the Gas Company.
The packets did not have very full
trips. Our elegant friend, Captain Ed.
Judge, has gone into the commission and
steamboat agency business at louisville.
We wish him success.......A fiat boat broke
loose from the Lamasco Wharf on Sunday
night and fioated down the river. The
owner tried to get a propeller to follow
her, but failing, started out in skiff with
a view of landing her. We did not learn
how successful he was.........A number of
deckhands. roustabouts and firemen have
just had a preliminary examination in st.
Louis, on a charge of endeavoring TO make
revolt or mutiny, and they were held to
Ban in the sum of $500 each to answer.
This is an important decision, and boats
crews win do wisely to bear it in mind.
The facts are, that shortly prior to the
18th of November, 1885, they shipped as
roustabouts on the steamer Walter B.
Dance, an American vessel duly enrolled
and licensed, a. $50 month, for voyage
up the Missouri River to Omaha; that on
the upward voyage, on November 18th,
while lying to at ST. Joseph, Missouri
word reached the boat in the afternoon
that large amount of railroad iron was to
be shipped to Omaha; that while at the
supper table they combined and confed-
Grated among themselves and with others
OF the crew to demand an increase of
wages to $50 month and ten cents a bar
on the iron. After supper the mate or
dered the crew TO load the iron. They re-
fused unless their demand was complied
with. At length the boats officers yielded
70 the demand, but the crew, including
defendants, still refused to load the iron
TIL morning. No violence was offered or
threatened 10 the boats officers. a#f
Capt, Dick Eastman, of Vincenaes, has
purchased the steamer Mate. ... rl
