Cincinnati Commercial 9th:
elm the United states District Court Judge
McCandless rendered a decision III the case Ut
Solomon Mcclure vs.. the steamboat Emma Ora
ham, the decree to be entered i'll favor OF the IL
belant, and referring the matter to John A.
Bailey to assess damages. The case is one Of
some general importance, as involving the la
bilites of common carriers. The facts are as iol-
lows: On December 49, 1878, the libelant ship
ped on the Emma Graham, then lying at Cincln-
natl, and purchased ticket for Plttsburg. When
the boat re. ched Marietta the lbelant was in
formed that she would go no further; and he was
ordered to go ashore, which he did, taking back
from the clerk of the boat, under protest, one
half of the amount he had paid for his passage.
The action was brought to recover damages for
the Inconvenience and injury arising from being
forced ashore. twas held by libelants counsel,
and supported by the court, that the acceptance
of a pro rata OF his passage money did not Ope
rate a recession of the contract, and that the
Iibellnt was entitled to recover damages for
whatever loss he may have sustained from being
compelled to leave the boat"

The BELLE OF SHREVEPORT" Capt. Rea, OF
the Belle, was in the city at noon Yesterday, and
sent the tug Rescue down to Horsetail with
barges and fuel. He says that the boat jumped
over the reef, or worst bar, into two fathoms OF
water, and was permitted to float until it was too
late to either go ahead or back The grounding
was the result of miscalculation on the part OF
the pilot in regard to the shore marks and the
proper moment to shove the boat ahead. The
boat is in bad fix. Capt. Rea used 300 sacks OF
corn to prop up her stern, and wanted a lot of
gunny bags to fiji with sand and use them for the
same purpose. The water was falling fast around
her, and steamboat cannot get alongside to re-
lleve her Of her cargo"
