Captain Kallaher had the wharf all to
himself last night-not a boat in port.

Business quiet on the levee, the time of the
marines being principally taken up with
keeping out of the rain.

In searching for the wreck of the Oriole
yesterday two rifles that were in the pilot
cab, belonging to Captain McNeely, were
recovered. They were the captains pets,
and he was as proud of their recovery
lmosta as If the tug herself had been raised.
Nothing was accomplished at the wreck of
the Golden City yesterday, the swift current
of the river battling all efforts. Captain
Mcintyre thinks that successful work may
not be expected until the latter part of next
week, or when the river has declined at least
3 or 8 feet below its present stage.
The General Lytle is laid up. The old war
horse has probably made her last trip. Her
career has been a brilliant one and full of
Incidents. She enjoys the distinction of hav-
ing made the fastest run from Cincinnati to
Louisville that ever was made. The old r.
T. Lee once tried to excel the Lytle's time, |
but failed.
Brownsville (Tenn) Democrat: Captain
Stokes, an old river man, was killed by the |
buffalo gnats last week on Hatchie river, |
near HennIDg's station. He had been FISH
ing a trot line all the evening, and was 80 |

That night his face and head was SO badly
swollen from the poison that he died after
intense suffering"

of the city. Whatever may be
Captain McIntyre's future undertakings he

The freaks of the weather department
turing the BASS "a hours were beyond
human comprehension. The day dawned
On a threatening condition that developed
INTO a fearful hunder storm which promised
@ prevail all day, but before noon the skies
we're clear and the SUMS rays made shady
pots the ambition of amin ated nature. The
afternoon was scarcely half spent when
mother change took place, the storm king
gain asserted his power, and torrents Of
ain again drenched the earth. But after all
his the sun went to rest without a cloud
-isible TO mar the picture. From a weather
tsndpoint, the past "a hours were truly
~ventful.
Incorporation is the order of the day. This
done to avoid personal liability of owners
Or debts of the boat incorporated. Ken
ncky is the favored State, although the law

bout the same as Kentucky. In Ohio, not
My the property of the incorporation is IL
Die for its debts, but The individual owners
re also liable to the full amount OF the stock
wned. This MAKES The liability double. 1t
