The steady rain yesterday forenoon
almost entirely suspended business on
the Ievee........... The Phantom came ia
ABOUT / O'Clock yesterday morning. and
had a nice packet trip. she laid over at
Cairo till p. n. Sunday, and came In In
excellent condition, attending 10 all BUSH
ness by the way .....,.....The Pine Bluff re-
turned to Henderson early Monday night,
having declined to take the freight offered
her there. at the price offered. Her officers
were undecided yesterday at noon as 20
what move she would next make. If the

of general interest, the report or the Local
Inspectors on the explosion OF the Cumber-
land. The report clearly and fully exoner-
ates the engineers, Robert Redden and
Thomas Green, and restores their licenses,
which had been temporarily suspended.

profession, and none OF their friends had
any approximations that they would be
censured. The responsibility Is, by the re-
port, attributed to negligence on the part
of a former Inspector TO properly and care
fully perform the duty OF his office. The
fact was. the boilers were detective, and a
inspection Woald have revealed |
the fact, which was unknown TO the ofn- /
GERS and engineers OF the boat...............The |
rain ceased after noon yesterday, but the /
,lou5s bore a threatening aspect It COM
neneed raining at Terre Hauto yesterday /
