DriftwOOd,

THERE will be no boat in the Cincinnati trade
after to-day until Tuesday, when the Keystone
State will be here.
THE CHARTERS packets will be running again
to-day if an opening is made in the falsework
built tor the Ohio connecting bridge at Brunot's
Island.
The H. K. Bedford came in on time and left
with fair-sized load of freight. She will be fol
lowed by the Mat Allan and Courier in the same
trade to-day.
CAPTAIN MERRINGToN succeeded in raising the
Joseph B. Nixon early yesterday morning. The
boat presented a decidedly muddy appearance.
Her engines were completely covered by the ac-
cumulated mud. 1t has not yet been decided what
shall be done with the boat.
THE Smithfeld street bridge pier marks are
completely obliterated with mud now and it is
next to impossible to read the gauge. The mark
was put there by subscriptions from the river
men, but ii is practically useless when the water
is low.
AN accident happened to the Scotia, near
Wheeling, yesterday that delayed her for "a
hours. In pulling out from landing she iran
through herself ~ and broke one of her follower
heads, which left her to come IN on one engine,
which she was unable to do. She drifted around
for several hours. The John e. Fisher selt
down to bring her up yesterday afternoon. They
are due here at noon to-day. The Scoita's dam
ages slight and can be repaired in time to let
her out this afternoon.

RIVER INTELLIGENCE.
Water Too Low for Much Liveliuess Along
the Wharf Just Now.

The low stage of water yesterday was detri-
mental to freight interests on the river. 1t ap-
pears that shippers were a little chary about
sending freight to the wharf, fearing that 1t
would be delayed. The prospects for better
trade the next few days are very good Tele-
grams from up river points show both rivers to
be rising slightly. Captain j. A. Henderson
calculates that the rainfall will put at least five
feet in the Monongahela, here, tomorrow or
the following day. 1t has come up somewhat
since A. NJ. yesterday, when it was down to
the two feet and two inches mark. Late in the
afternoon it was three feet, and rising slowly.
Quite number of river men from this city,
representing the coal trade and packet lines,
have sIgnihed their intention of attending the
annual convention of National Steam Naviga-
tors, which is to be held for two days in New
of steamboat men from the lower Ohio and
Mississippi will be present at the meeting. The
convention is to ascertain what legislation is
needed for the improvement of both steamship
and steamboat business, and has a large repre-
sentation throughout the United States. Thus
far the association has welded great power,
and has been instrumental in Sc
curing mary needed improvements.
The rivermen from this city will meet shortly
and discuss matters pertaining TO river i'm
provements about Pittsburg, and decide upon
the action they will tax at the coming conven-
ton. Free navigation on the NtonOngahela
will be one of the recommendation. This mat
ter was presented at the last convention. which
was held in this city last October, and brought
SO much pressure to bear on Congress until it
was decided by that body to purchase lock
No.

Efforts are again being made to organize
an athletic club in this CITY on plans similar
to those of the California Athletic Club. In
some respects there will be a difference,
however, notably there will be no fighTs to
finish. Mr.. L. X. Lippman, local patron
of all kinds Of sports, is the prime mover in
the present instance, and party of gentle
men are aiding him in his efforts. Mr..
Lppman stated yesterday that he and his
friends have had the matter under considera-
tiOn for some time and that as soon as they can
secure the names of few gentlemen who wish
TO aid in the venture a club will be formed.
The objects of the proposed clubs are compre-
hensive, but care will be taken to keep within
the limits OF the law. The chief object of the
club Is for indoor sports such as boxing and
wrestling. It is intended to have the best box
ing talent ia the country to give exhibitions
and substantial prizes will be offered to the
most scientific boxer in any contest Of the kind
that may be arranged. 1t is also intended to
engage the best wresters and have bona ide
matches among them. The exhibitions and
contests Will only be open to members of the
club and the present intention is to fix the
membership fee at SO per year. Mr.. Lippmau
states that the intention of himself and friends
i " dCb SlIltAlN III dCCbTudnCe Will the law, as
their only desire is to foster and encourage the
various kinds of athletic sports and exercises.
He says there are several wealthy gentlemen
aiding him in trying to establish the club in
question. A list of names was shown the
writer yesterday. but the gentlemen do not
desire to have their names placed before the
public
Beside the indoor sports the gentlemen
1erred to intend to make feature of bicycling
chiefly of an amateur kind. The club will be
prepared to assist any really first class rider
who is member to compete IN National events.
Professionals will also be engaged to take part
IN contests promoted by the club. Other
branches of sport will also be encouraged
The above is a brief statement of what the pro-
posed club intends to do if nothing comes in
the way 10 DrevenS its organization. Mir. Lipp-
man and his friends are enthusiastic on the
matter and deSirouS of having the club
thoroughly organized before next month eX-

markable activity in all branches of legiti-
mate trade. The excess OF bank clearings
over those Of the corresponding weeks last
year in all cities outside of New YORK, rises
to 16 per cent for the month thus tar, ana at
Western and Southern points the gain
averages about % per cent Boston reports
more trade with easier money. At Phlla-
delphla the shoe and leather trades are ex-
ceptionally good, but in groceries trade falls
short of anticipations; hardware is active
and firm, and the iron trade improves.
Chicago notes heavy decline in grain re-
ceipts compared with last year, but large
increase in dressed beef, lard, hides and
wool, and decline in butter and cheese. The
drygoods, clothing and boot and shoe trade
exceed last years, with satisfactory collec-
ticns. Cincinnati also reports quite good
trade and fair crops, but some pressure and
a large demand in the money market.
GOOD REPORTS.
At Cleveland trade is good, though ore is
inactive, but demand for Fl finished iron pro-
ducts is unprecedented, and at Pittsburg it
holds prices firmly, though there is slight
weakening in pig iron. Milwaukee reports
trade much in excess of last years, and De-
troit also, with manufacturing works fully
employed. At Minneapolis lumber has ad-
tduCCu W CSuLS, willie Wucdb 10 uhocLGlcu,
with receipts of l., 100, 900 bushels, and the
houroutput is 40, 900 barrels. Kansas City
reports steady trade, and Savannah notes
general activity, with firm prices for staples.
Though money is very active at most
points, and rather stringent at many, the
volume Of business does not seem to be any
where curtailed thereby, and the reports as
to collections are much more favorable than
usual. The great industries, as reports
already cited show, are decidedly active, the
wool manufacture having especially i'm
proved, with much more satisfactory orders.
GENERAL IMPROVEMENT.
The cotton manufacture is sustained bv a
large demand for goods, and in numerous
minor industries the expected change
of duties is said to be the basis
of greater activity. Iron is more
firm at Philadelphia, and is not much
pressed for sale here, though some Chicago
sales in this region are reported, but the de-
mand for bar increases, with an advance in
price, and the plate and structural mills are
crowded, though steel rails are inactive.
Some improvement is also reported in coal.
There has been much liquidation In stocks
without serious decline in prices or any ex-
citement. The business failures occurring
during the last seven days number 219 as
compared with 100 last week. For the cor
responding week of last year the figures

The very latest arrivals, Ss in number, came

were followed by the others in small groups
The men are on the streets tonight, drinking

To-day was pay day. and most of the new men
received little or nothing, as most of the money
was deducted from their pay Oh various pre-

IL is impossible to estimate how many of the
imports altogether have joined the strikers, but
the number must be enormous.

this morning fishermen found the body of a
young woman in her night dress floating in the
Schuylkill river at Mismer's locks above

The mystery of the young woman's death
was cleared up late in the day when it was al
legged that she was insane through the recent
death of her sister. She got out of the house
after midnight, wandered to the river. fell in
and was accidentally drowned. The Coroner's
Jury SO framed their verdict.
