The wharfbcat, "Memphis,' was
lowed Wednesday by the Rosa b. to
the "katie'' Elevator landing, and
noored beside the latter. We had
hoped that before such change was
made that the Katie would be removed.
for as she lies now she is q peril to
steamboats,, and may at any time
cause marine catastrophy. Remove
her Immediately and by the by, where
is the Wagner.
The monarch Fred a. Blanks, mas
entered the New Orleans and st.
Louis Anchor Line, With her atfablc
na'nesake in command. OurSt. Louis,
friends when they get Il glimpse of her
will no doubt be moro than satisfied.
and while we cannot claim that she is
a racer, we must admit that it takes
mighty good s:stock" to ssthrow mud
in her face" She's not so easily be-
splattcred.
The dashing Rosa d. from the
D'Arbonne, sailed into port Friday
evening with 2lS bales cotton, which
went forward on the Corona.
Not having the space to publish
wholly the verdict of the Corners Jury
i'll the Jno. III. Hanna case, we will
give only Il brief outline of the testi-
money adduccd
Nose Gibbs, mate testified: Boats
were not racing saw no weights placed
on safety valve.
Reuben Jones, engineer: Every
thing was working smoothly; had be-
tween 14O and JAG pounds steam on.
Capt. Il. p. Lcathers of the NatcheZ:
Examined collapsed tlue; found il de-
fective; it would have lett bed if cx-
plosion had been due to scarcity of
water.
James Mackinson sheet iron worker
Found IIanna's papers called for iron
25-10o inch thick found it to be only 81
100 inch, and made badly.
The jury returned the following YER
Dict "On hearing the testimony taken
on June u, and in accordance with the
Coroncr's inquest, we Gud that death
was caused from the effects OF being
scalded by the collapse of iue on
board the John Hanna. on the evening
of June s, at or near Ii mile point on
and 1880 p. m. We further find that
the collapsing of said tlue was attribu-
table to a defect in the iron and not to
any Of the officers Of said steamer John
II. Hanna" From the above it will be
seen that all Of the Hanna's officers are
exonerated from all blame.
The dashing Rosa y. is we under
stand to be thoroughly overhauled as
soon as the business season is over.
The Rosa has for the past 10 or =
months been hard worked, transacting
her own business, and after the disas-
tiers to the Fair Play and Ollie IS
managed to successfully attend to
theirs. And we rcmber that for two
months, she never had cold boiler,
for hardly had she arrived in port ere
she was sent on another mission. Truly
it can be said of her, .:Wcil done thou
good and faithful servant" Rosa YOU
are Il daisy. Next wccl; we'll try tt
give Tic number Of bales Of cotton
brought in by her up TO the . inst.
The Clara S. and Earle arrived from
New Orleans Tuesday with tolcrably
fair trips and returned the same day.
The Corona and II. Hanna Blank:
were on band Saturday, and rcturnc,
to the Crescent City the same day
each carrying about the same amour
of cntton-about 2j0 bales each.
