months ago the Columbian iron works
and dry dock company bought the iron
hull and machinery Of the steamer B. s.
Ford, which was burned at Chestertown,
last spring. The hull was towed to the
city and thoroughly inspected. Ali
the defective parts were removed
and will be replaced with new
iron, and the steamer rebuilt upon
the same plan followed by the original
builders in Wilmington. Mr.. Mslster
stated yesterday that the iron in the hull
is first rate, and the steamer will be as
good as new when che is finished. She
will have new boilers, engine and other
machinery. he expects to complete her
next spring. They are doing this work
chiefly TO give their men constant employ
ment during the coming winter. She will
be given new name, which will be de-
termined by whoever may purchase her.
