and BIO ready TO raise steam 10 eight days after

Capt. A. ]. RoHs notifies shippers In "apeoial"
| this morning of the positive departure OF the
| Raven aud barges for Now Orleans this evening.
Capt. Ross Ia well known TO our merchants, and
desires them TO understand that he 10 ia the
| trade TO stay. AZ soon as the new Sam Roberts,
now nearing completion at Middleport, IL reaay
| for work she will take the place OF the Raven,
| aud under command or Captain Ross, will make
regular four week trips in the New Orleans trade.
| Capt. Ross has had several years experience In
| towboatipg, and is skillful and careful boat
man. Harry q. Teetor is her attentive chiefclerk.
rather novel case was tried before Commits
sioner Hooper yesterday, wherein the steamer
| Andy Baum was defendant In suit brought by
James Thompson for f270, for back wages. 1t
| seems that Thompson, who Ia young man from
| Louisville, was taken on Tor rather allowed TO
stay on) the boat some nine months ago. Ast the
| boat carried full complement OF officers he had
no regular position on the boat and was not on tho
portage books, but ~ he was anxious to learn the
river was allowed 10 remain on board and do odd
jobs around the cabin or assist the CLERKS Tor his
1
| tioeship he became more valuable ~ an assistant
| and tho clerk Of the Baum gave him si5, which
piece of fortune seems TO have been moro than he
| could stand and he immediately rushed off 10
! the United States Commissioner and brought suit
| for The sum named. The Commissioners decided
| to allow him $40 per month for the last four
months Of his service dsductng the SIS paid
| him. The owners OF ,he Daum have appealed
| the case to higher court.
| ST. Louis, March 13.--Green Shields has re-
| tired from the Office OF the Belle OF Shreveport,
| and been succeeded by William Fitzgerald, late
| OF the Katie p. Kountz.
| Kansas City has now in her elevators and on
| track over half million bushels OF grain to be
marketed. The high rates of transportation per
/ rail nave stopped shipments in u meH5uro anu
have actually opened the eyes OF their live busi-
ness men to the fact that tho Missouri River runs
| by that city, and that there are plenty OF busi-
ness men who are willing to contract Tor their
freight from that city to this In barges and ship
to Baltimore by rail from here at less price than
would cost them to get il to Chicago via rail. Why
these merchants have bulldozed themselves 30
| long is q wonder. The feasibility of towing
| barges on that river has been perfectly demon
| strated By the Star Line for two or three years,
| "a they have been u,ing them and but one barge
lost in that time and that by the unskillfulness
and fright of the eolored crew at the Boonyille
bridge A committee has been appointed by the
Kansas City merchants, who will arrive here we
presume to-day, who are authorized to perfect
arrangements with owners Of barges and steam
boats for the shipping Of large amount OF
grain, and will no doubi sue cd in doing 80.
