The Robert Mitchell, with three hundred
tons OF freight, hundred passengers in the
cabin, and a crowd on deck, passed up for the
Ohio yesterday afternoon.
The Batesville, of the Lee line, is lying at
the foot of Adams street undergoing a thor
ough overhaullng, preparatory for active SER
vice in the lower bends when the fall season
opens.
The whereabouts of Joe Flynn was the alb
sorbing anxiety in candidate circles yester-
day. 1t was hard to define which was most
anxiously looked for, the arrival of the Can
non or her bar-keeper.
The Coahoma went out yesterday for the
lower bends with good trip aboard. Cap
tain Ed Thomas was In command, and as the
boat backed out he got excited and passed
everything in sight, including both wharf
boats and the elevator.
The g. w. Cheek, Captain James Lee, ST.. 8,
in command, left for Mound City yesterday
to be worked up into an entire new edition.
They say all of the old boat that will be used
in the construction of the new one will be
the space she occupies in the water.
Captain Stacker Lee, the popular COM
mander of the Coahoma, stopped off yester-
dby to attend to the business of the line
during the absence of Captain James Lee
Captain Ed Thomas will tickle the Coaho-
mas big bell for while in consequence.
Captain R. w. Lightburne received tele-
! graphic advices from Captain R. w. Wise
| yesterday stating that, owing to delay by
| foggy nights and stormy weather, the James
| w. Gaff would not arrive at Memphis until
| some time tonight, but that she would re-
| turn to the Ohio tomorrow evening all the
SINE.
Louisville (Ky.) Courier-Jou,nal, Tuesday:
''The Canon offered forty dollars per month
| for negro deckhands here, and could only get
a few at that price. They put on airs, wanted
rooms in the cabin, three meals day in the
| texas, silver spoons to eat soup with, pie nine
| times a week, and kid gloves to work in &.
Money was no object. They'd rather suck
wind and wait for watermelons to get ripe. ~
Cincinnati Enquirer: Authority has been
gwen Captain Sam Van Zant to change the
name of the steamer D. A. NJ Donald to the
| Silver Wave, so that the old familiar name
of Nj Donald will disappear from the upper
river. The first boat of that name, the re-
mains OF which were incorporated into the
| present steamer, was, it will be remembered,
blown up several years ago, many lives being
| LOST by the disaster
