The G. W. Bachelor will leave in her
Pittsburgh trade this morning.
The Courier will be this mornings
Parkersburg packet. The Elaine got
away in this trade on time yesterday.
The Andes will leave Cincinnati for
this point tomorrow evening and arrive
Monday. Next Tuesday afternoon she
will leave on her return trip to that
point.
The old Courier, formerly in the
Wheeling and Parkersburg trade, sprang
leak few nights since at Cincinnati,
where she was laid up, and sank, The
loss is tritiing ms she was about rotten
and worthless.
The Fashion which was laid up at
Pittsburgh during the low water season,
reached here about o'clock last evening
and got away at $3.50 o'clock for CinCin-
natl with big trip. She loaded large
copsIgnments OF nails here.
About 100000 bushels of coal have
thus far been sent out from Pittsburgh
on this water. This amount, which was
mostly for Cincinnati, WINS gotten out
before Che big rise came. When the
river commences to recede there will be
more coal come out.
The Nellie Walton, Mark Winnett and
Little Fred are among the steamers OF
the coal fleet that have been laid up at
points below, where they were caught
by low water, and which have passed up
within the past thirty six hours, on their
way to the pools for loaded packages Of
coal.
Now that there is once more water on
which the through packets can run, the
Andes will resume her cheap excursions
to Cincinnati and its big Centennial Ex-
position. Attention is called to the
steamers advertisement to this effect, to
be found in this issue. For $40 one con
make the round trip on the Andes, have
about thirty.siX hours in Cincinnati and
sleep and eat ON the boat while there.
The steamer is gone one week and the
tare covers stateroom and meals. The
trip is a delightful one, especially at this
time OF the year.

What was Observed on Tour of Inspec-
tion there.

What was Observed on Tour of Tnspec-
ton there.
To describe the scenes along the Ma
tional road yesterday morning, after the
torrents OF water that came raging out
OF the tributaries OF Wheeling creek
had subsidized sufficiently to make
a trip to Triadelphia possible,
would be but to repeat with
little variation, the story told in
these columns on Saturday morning,
July 81, after fNTELLIGENCER reporters
had carefully gone over all the territory
lying between Fulton and Roney's
Point, including visits up many Of the
larger runs. Fortunately there was no
loss OF life this time, and aside from an
abandoned house belonging to Mr.. Kim
mons, OF Elm Grove, there were no
houses carried away except few out
houses OF little value.
There was not the heavy loss there
was in July, for the reason that nearly
all that could be lost went then. Still,
the losses occasioned Tuesday are heavy,
and were Trey not compared with those
Ofone month ago would attract much
more attention than they will now.
One thing that prevented loss was
the gradual rise OF the waters,
thereby giving people time to take
warning and move their possessions.
Farmers have suffered additional
damage to crops, however. and the
county roads are in u worse condition
than ever. In some places the damage
caused by washOuts is about doubled,
and many new estimates will have to be
made. The handsome iron bridge at
Elm Grove leading to the Poor Farm is
entirely gone and a goodly sum will be
required to replace it.
On the flats out around the Peninsula
and on the fat this side OF Eeatherhood,
everything was covered with Shiny,
sticky mud, and evidences OF the force
OF the current were everywhere notice
able. At Elm Grove the water was
higher than before, and the
dampness and discomfort that much
greater. The combining OF the water
from Big and Middle Wheeling creeks at
Monument Place sent the eddies whirl-
Ing over MAYOR l4OFlnS ilGHuso nc IhMAi
and the lawns on the south side Of the
pike east OF his place, depositing layer
after layer OF mud and slime. Fences
that had been rebuilt were again leveled
and those that had not been strengthen
ed were carried away.
At Triadelphia, Chapel run again
poured down the pike SO swift and deep
that not even horse could ford it, and
fully three-fourths Of the cellars Of the
houses in the place were again filled.
The pike was washed out badly and at
the bend at this end OF the place there is
little more than enough room for
one team to get along. At all
points where the waters reached
the pike, the washing is much
worse than before. In front Of the town
hall ut Elm Grove hugo pile OF drift
was deposited and in front OF Thorn
burg's shop there is another bad place.
The mud there is nearly half way up to
the hubs OF a vehicle. The people were
found heartsick and disguised. They
said little, but their looks were eloquent.

The river crept up the levee gauge
steadily all day yesterday. At1Oo'clock
last night there was depth OF 26 feet 0
inches in the channel here, and the river
was still rising. At Pittsburgh at that
hour the river was "a feet s inches in
depth at the Monongahela wharf, and
the waters had commenced to recedc.
All through the valley the weather
was reported to be clear and cool.
II is now pretty well settled that there
will not be much over depth Of thirty
three feet here. The river about 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon, after hay
ing been backed up by the creek ever
since the storm Tuesday night, began to
back the creek up, and two hours later
there was not particle OF current in
the raging whirlpool Of the night before.
Crowds OF people tlocked to the levee to
see the river and learn the news OF the
rise all day yesterday.

NEXT to the B. & 0. the Pan. Handle
suffered the most. No trains we're sent
out OF here yesterday over the Pewiky.
A force OF carpenters was kept dusy dur
ing the day at Buffalo creek getting an.
other trestle bridge in position, and
trains will be run to-day. The 7:2O a.
M, 80 p. IN. and 4:2O p. m. trains will
leave and return on time, but the $40
p. III. Cincinnati Il st. Louis express will
not be run till further notice. The
bridge over Buffalo creek is not yet COM
pleted, and transfers will be made there
at least during to-day.
1t was reported that on the main line
OF the Pan Handle between Wheeling
Junction and Pittsburgh there were sew.
eral small washouts and that ut Ingram,
u short distance this side OF Pittsburgh,
there was bridge gone. These reports
were not authenticated, however. The
Panhandle company also lost a bridge
on its Charters division between Pitts
burgh' and Washington, Pa.
The Ohio River road will be all right
by this morning. The washouts ut Ben
wood were filled up yesterday morning
SO that the train that leaves here at 1886
a. III. was able to get away Mt $3.50
o'clock. The noon train did not go out
and the afternoon train did not start
down till 6:45 o'clock last evening. Only
one train arrived from below and that
one got in about 6 o'clock last night.
The cause OF this irregular running was
the transfer that was necessary Mt Bull
creek, where the temporary bridge used
while Strengthening the regular bridge
was swept away.
The G. & p, lost bridge at Wells
vile and transfer had to be made at
that point. In the early part OF the day
some Panhandle trains were run over
the C. & p. tracks from Mingo Junction
up to Wellsville and transferred till the
Panhandle tracks were repaired. The
O., l.. & W. road is reported to be in run
ming shape again.
