The Wheeling and Cincinnati pack
cts, it is said, according to the new ar
rangcment, are not allowed to take any
reshipping freight from the Wheeling
and Pittsburgh packets for points below
Parkersburgh. Prior 10 the new order
of things, the c. w. Bachelor could
take Cincinnati freight, which she re-
shipped ON the Cincinnati packets at
Wheeling, but now she is unable to
take anything for points below Parkers-
burg. II is evidently the intention Of
those at the head of the combination
movement to starve out all boats IN
short trades between here and CinCin-
natl Pittsburgh Commercidi-GdzStt'.
The Commercial Gd,eite also says: Ac-
cording 10 the combination arrange
ment, Wheeling has to pay the same
rate TO Cincinnati as Pittsburgh, and
WAeeling shippers, we understand, ieel
very sore about it-no doubt they will
patronize every "outside" boat that
comes along. The nail men there feel
particularly savage as they regard 1t as
An act of discrimination, although we do
not suppose it is so intended. II is 4
good thing for the boats coming through
10 Pittsburgh, for the reason that when
the water is scant they can take less
freight from here and more from Wheel
Ing, the rates from both points 10 Gin
cinnati and Louisville being the same,
above Wheeling.
The government snag boat Woodruff
is at this place removing the coal boats
sunk last week. The coal boat which
was sunk in the channel short dis
lance above this place caught fire from
some cause, on last Friday, and contin-
ned TO burn until Wednesday, when it
had consumed all that it could, and
nothing can now he seen but the smOul-
dering embers above the water. At this
time the snag boat is working opposite
the lower part Of town, wrecking and re-
moving the sunken bOats.-MOvndSriil'
