EsTEvE & CO.'S TROUBLE.
Their Embarrassment Expected to be
Only Temporary.

Ine1r Emparrassment Expected to be
Only Temporary.
Bay street was greatly surprised when
it read the MORNING News yesterday and
saw that Esteve & Co. were temporarily
embarrassed. The firm has always had
the esteem and confidence of the CONNER
cial world, and its main office in BARGE
Iona has been considered one of the
strongest financially in that city.
Messrs. Wilson q Grady the well-known
foreign exchange brokers, held a very close
relationship with the firm here, and all the
loans made by them to Esteve q Co. are
amply secured by collateral, which can
be readily sold, leaving a good margin TO
the credit of the embarrassed firm.
Mr.. Walter Curtis, the member of the
firm in Savannah, is confined to the house
with the grip but MORNING News re-
porter saw him and learned that the i'm
mediate cause of the suspension was due
to the fact that the Barcelona house had
failed to send a remittance as it was re-
quested to do in order that the Savannah
house could meet payments falling due
The senior member of the firm, Mr.. Es-
teve, who manages the extensive inter
ests across the water, did not put Mr..
Curtis in funds, and the two drafts,
amounting to $1,000, were refused pay
ment.
The liabilities of the firm are said to be
small, with ample assets to Offset them.
IL is believed that as soon as the delay in
the remittance is explained, all matters
pertaining to the suspension will be salts
! factorily adjusted.

ALONG THE RIVER FRONT.
Items Gathered Here and There
Among the SHINING

A0Ohk IuS 5n1pp1nEs
The Ocean Steamship Company has
filed in the United States district court,
at Charleston, libel for $50 900, instead
OF s., OOO as announced yesterday, against
the British steamship Chinese Prince
and her cargo, which was lowed into
Charleston harbor by the steamship Des-
soug last Friday. The libellants allege
that at II o'clock a. m. of Dec. 20 the
steamship Dessoug, Capt. Doughty, while
bound for Savannah from Philadelphia,
with valuable cargo, fell in with the
Chinese Prince twenty miles north of
Cape Roman, bound for Barcelona. The
Prince was flying distress flag, having
been disabled by the breaking of her en-
gines; she was unable to proceed, heavy
sea was running and she was at the
mercy of the winds; any change of the
weather might have caused her to be
driven on the neighboring shoals and lost.
When the Dessoug came alongside Capt.
Atkinson, of the Prince, asked to be
towed back to Charleston. A hawser
was made fast, but it parted. Another
hawser was given and the vessel was
towed back to Charleston. After a con-
siderable wait for tide, the steam tug
Hercules was engaged at cost of $500 to
assist, and the Prince was lowed safely
into port. Besides the services rendered
the libellants mentioned the various
items of extraordinary expense and
causes of Inconvenience to their trade,
and claim 500, 900 as proper amount for
salvage.

while Policeman James Mcguire was on
duty in the southwestern part of the city
he saw flames in the direction of Battery
park. On investigation he found the

Twelfth street across from the park on
fire

on Henry street and telephoned Chief
Puder, who was fighting the flames across

chief sent No. engine in answer to the
alarm, but after going out as faras Henry
and West Broad streets, the firemen re-
turned as the house had already burned
down and no water could be obtained.

MOUNT PISGAH.

The moonlight lies on Pisgah's crown,
Where oak and pine tree rear their head,
The msts of night have settled down,
And by the whispering river spread;
But DER the veil, against the sky,
The mighty mountain towers high,
The moonlight sheds its silver stream,
And battles the distant mountain height
Within the vale watch and dream,
Surrounded by n lesser light
A rcd star sinking in the west
Seems on the mountain top To rest
count the star a beacon fire,
That blazes forth to stir the heart,
And move the soul to high desire
To play on earth better part;
And star and moon their spell have wrought,
For wakes the mind to higher thought
