He said he was far from holding ir

THE AMERICAN STEAMSHIP COMPANY.

OF peach growers was held, to consider
the advisability of entering suit against
the American Steamship Company, on
account Of the loss sustained by the at
tempt to ship peaches to Liverpool, by
the steamer Ohio, in August last. The
failure, according to the growers, was
caused by the steamship company to
prepare proper refrigerator, and thus
all the peaches were spoiled.
The meeting was very respectable
one indeed, Messrs. X. w. Cochran, Ed
Cochran, Thomas Cochran, Governor
John z. Cochran, Messrs. Shallcross,
Williams, Samuel Townsend and many
other prominent peach growers being
present.
The matter was discussed at length
and John OByrne, Esq, was retained
by the growers as their counsel.
An instrument was directed to be pre-
pared whereby one assignment Of all Of
the individual shippers should be made
to u committee Of three, as follows {:
Messrs. Townsend, Shallcross and Il. w.
Cochran, vesting them with full powers
to prosecute the claims of the shippers.
Suit will be instituted against the
Steamship Company for the recovery of
the advanced freight and for the price
Of the fruit shipped, in Liverpool.
The committee earnestly request the
cooperation of each Of the growers who
are interested. The instrument will he
shortly prepared.
