.........The Fanny Brandeis was getting q
splendid trip last evening. She waited for
the Louisville packet........Reports having
been put in circulation, Tor selfish pur-
pos es, that the boilers OF the Clara Scott
are not safe, and although they have
passed inspection, Capt. Scott, to remove
all shadow of doubt, has contracted with
Chris. Kratz, the famous foundryman, for a
pair OF new boilers TO be finished within two
weeks, and to be of the best boiler
iron. Capt. Scott deserves great credit
for mourning this large expense to
secure The confidence and positive
safety of the travelling publlc............
