motion was visible on board the vessel. The
steam tugs were running hither and thither,
vhistling and steaming with all their might.
Vast clouds of dense black smoke were seen
issuing from the starboard main deck amid
ships, and the word went from mouth to
mouth: 'The Natchez is on fire."
She was run up against the levee at Free
town, where tugs surrounded her and la
bored to extinguish the flames, in which
they have been successful.
The fire originated nearly amidship, and
on the starboafd side, and was probably
caused by spark from one Of the tugs.
Out of the 1900 bales of cotton on board
before the fire, 500 have been burned or
thrown overheard. Of the $500 sacks Of
cotton seed, about 400 were destroyed. The
rest Of the cargo, 400 sacks of grits and 300
tons of miscellaneous, was saved. The
boat was not damaged to any considerable
extent. Loss on the cargo about $4,000
The salvage will be ct nsiderable.

CITY COMMISSIONERS.
Who Shall Have the Big Contract for Furn-
... ishing Water Pipe!

A petition for grading North avenue from
Warsaw street to South avenue by private
contract was granted.
The contractors for the improvement of
Lane street, Walnut Hills, were granted
permission to use the city roller on said
street.
The Engineer of the Water-works submit
ted his computation of the bids for furnish
ing water-pipe from October /, 1879, to
October 1, 1880, as follows: Dennis, Long &
Co., $S7, 274; Cincinnati & Newport |. & P.
Co., $S7, 700 so; r. d. Wood & Co., $10A III
According to this, it will be seen that Dem
mis-, Long & Co. were the lowest bidders by
small amount.
Mr.. Rutherf rd, of the Newport Pine
Company, objected to the contract being
awarded to Dennis Long & Co. as the bid of
the latter firm had not been computed bv
the Engineer according to the proposal Of
fered by that firm. Mr. Rutherford stated
that after the bids were opened last Friday
Mr.. Long told the Engineer that he wanted
it understood that in his bid he included
curve pipe at the same rate as straight pine
and not as special castings.
If Mr.. Long intended to include curve
pipe, why did he not mention that fact in.
his bid, and not after the bids were opened :?
The custom in bidding is that all curve
pipe is special, and if Mr. Long intended to
vary from the custom he should have so
stated in his proposal.
Hot words ensued between the contesting
bidders and they were called to order bv
the President of the Board.
Mr.. Weitzel moved that the whole mat
ter be referred to the Water-works Commit
tee Carried.
The proposal of Terrence Riley to keep
the Davidson Fountain in repair for $1,000
a year was rejected, as the bid was in
formal.
