day, the marks last evening indicating n
depth OF 0 feet II inches in the channel. This
however, Is good boating stage, and ~ II
promises to hold so for few days the big
packets will have an opportunity to do con.
siderable business.
The new Vanderbilt bridge at this point
will probably be located about ono quarter Of
a mile above THO head OF Wheeling Island,
and will BIO ninety feet above low water
mark, with continuous spans. The main
channel tpan will bs 5e7 feet, the Others $50
feet. Pittsburgh coal men are satisfied with
this.
The St. Lawrence had not srrived at late
hour lf3t night, but she will be on hand
bright and early this morning SO as 10 get
away at P. NJ, sharp, today, on her return
trip. The st. Lawrence Is one OF the most
popular boGta on the, river, and is ably, COM
manded. She is kardsome and commodtous,
and the aim OF her owners ia always to please
both shipper and passenger.
The coal shipments OF Thursday from
Pittsburgh, aided 10 thcss OF Wednesday,
SEN
0O0 for Cincinnati and 1,g02, 900 for Louis
Vile total 3,4ls, COO. The run would have
been considerably larger had It not been for
the delay In getting coal through the locks;
some boats left with little more than half q
tow, the falling water forcing them TO 80
with what they could get Coal men arc all
clamorous for largely increased lock facilities
above Pittsburgh,
The Pittsburgh Telegraph saysl In the good
time which must eventually come, when the
Ohio Is ulackWatered for al least two hun.
dred miles from lis source, there will be no
such difficulty as appears In the present coal
shipment. Just when the tow.boAt3 were
needed most they were absent. They were
tied to the bank all along the upper Ohio be-
cause there yrs not enough water In the
channel TO bring them to their waiting fleets
OF loaded harges. Twenty inches more OF
Yator would have been sufficient. A series
OF dams and pools will work a great change
in the river and coal industry.
The Pomeroy Telegraph says: 1.-THE follow
ipi produce men nave completed loading
and arc now awaiting vcter: Phil. Elliott,
Pete Rentz, B. &. MoCOmaS Wick a&yman,
