Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1874-12-03

/ trade... The Louisville Courier sIolaalo
Of Tuesday asks: "l the Tom Sherloct
took one hundred and sixty-elghl
/ (k)hights to get TO New Orleans, how
many days and nights viii 1t take her t.
RETURN" The Memphis evening Ledge
OF yesterday makes the same original
remark. Now, who is witty? Do moi
steal Louisville wit, because others than
you also read the pspers......St. Louis
| collected two thousand eight hunlired
and ninety-one dollars and ten cents OF
wharfage last month. Fhe receipts Of
lumber at that port amounted to six
million feet......T The Laura Davis, from
Louisville, is ca route to Nashvilie......
The Indiana has gone to Cincinnati,
where she win probably load for New
| Orleans. The Ben Franklin, of Gin
cinnati has new chimneys. ....A COM
plete compilation of the rules of Steer
ing vessels, and for the exhibition Of
lights aud torches by vessels Of all
classes, is about TO be issued by the sec
Rotary of the treasury. Pittsburg par
ties have examined the sunken steamer
Mary Savage, and report that n the
water falls another foot the large
amount of coal on board will at once
be removed. That work done, it is
thought that the raising of the boat will
not be q difficult matter Of accomplish
ment. She is now in the hands of the
underwriters. Ice is becoming trouble
some in the Mississippi around st.
Louis, az the following telegram, dated
Kimmswick, Missouri, November 30th,
addressed to George II. Morgan, Esq
shows: "The ice is very heavy at our
point. The Chester has been since two
O'Clock this morning trying TO go
through, but has given it up and is now
lying too Just below. II il continues
cold for day or two the river viii gorge
here. The coal-oil question is eX-
citing much interest among steamboat
men. A petition is being framed by the
New Orleans steambOatmen protesting
against the recent construction of the
law governing the carriage of coal-oil
by boat. The present board of supper
vising inspectors say that boats shall
not carry coal-oil in any vessel not sur
rounded by metallic substance as tin.
The feeling is SO strong against
this alleged outrage that the steam
bOatmen of st. Louis have risen
up to have the wrong rIghted by q
petition to the authorities at Washing
ton. Let Memphis bOat-Owners also Pc
tition the authorities upon this sub ect. !
THE Carrie Thorn is being repaired
at New Orleans.... Ed Cummings, who
for q long time has been mate of the
Frank Psrgoud, has taken this position
on the Katie. John Britton, who re-
tired in his favor, will resume his place on
the Ouacbita Belle st. Louis ReDiL6li- |
can of Tuesday: "The river is rising
slowly. II is thought the rise is oeca-
stoned by the temporary choke by ice at
River full of thin ice at
this port. Rates are firm at last weeks
figures. Business at this port is almost
on account of ice. Up to
twelve, noon, there Were but three
arrivals, and there will be- but
two departures this evening. The wind
is from the southeast, which will proba-
bly, dissipate much of the ice, aud there
is probability that Keokuk boats will
be running before the close of the
week. THE remains of Captain
M'Cord will be inferred at GAINESVILLE,
Missouri.
