Itanybody knows what the Chas. Nor
gan is going to do, we would like to be in
formed. Every day for the past eight O
ten days the St. Louis papers have had al
kinds of reports in circulation-one day an
nounced as loading for New Orleans ant
the next Capt. P. P. Manion was buyini
flags of all nations" to decorate his plcni,
boat with to 60 to st. Louis, and now t
"cap the climax" 1t seems that it wal
the intention from the first for the Morgan
to make a trip to New Orleans. As her and
the Belle of Shreveport got into squabble
contending which should leave Cincinnati
frst at least, the officers of the respective
boats had some contention in regrrd to the
matters. The owners of the Shreveport
were unwilling to "cave in" to picnic, sc
it was finally decided that the Morgan wal
not in the ring and in the squsbbe tn,
new Mary Houston stepped in and gobblec
up all of the chicken-pe. SO the Shreve
port will leave Saturday, and it is likely
that the Morgan as bolter will probably
load independent.
