NOTES OF THE EVER
News of tue Boats and BoAtmsn Along
tho Ohio.


The Bennett did not get of the
Clusters at New Cumberland until Sun
day morning.
The Ben Hur, with fair freight and
passenger list, passed down at o'clock
for Parkersburg and way points.
There are yet in the neighborhood OF
IA. OOO, 900 bushels OF loaded coal, at
fair estimate, in the pools awaiting
transportation to lower river markets.
The Keystone, which is one Of to.
DAYS packet, had not turned a wheel
since June 18th until the present rise.
The Hudson was also tied up most OF
that time.
The Bedford is scheduled to leave for
Pittsburg this morning at s o'clock, the
Hudson for the same point at a. M,
the keystone State for Cincinnati at
a. m. and the Sunshine for Parkers6urs
at 11:3O a. m.
Labor was cheap on the present rise.
Where in extreme cases as much as $50
q month is paid for 1iremen and deck
hands, they went out this time for
from $50 to S35, and it Is told very few
are getting as little as SIS.
The following boats passed down yes
terday with lows Of coal: Belle Nc
Gowan, at 9 a. M; Bennett, at IL a. m. {;
George Shiras, at p. M; Ida Budd, at
3 D. N. These are the stragglers bring
ing up the rear OF the fleet. The w.
G.. Horner passed up light.
It's very hard to verify the reports OF
disasters to the coal fleets taken below
this week, from the fact that the firms
are unwilling to have their losses
known. The damage done is very
great, however, and trip on one OF
the short line packets on this end OF
the Ohio shows an almost endless line OF
remnants of broken tows.
The marks last night showed 10 feet
8 inches of water IN the channel and
stationary. The river is rising at most
points above, and the indications point
to little more water to-day. In fact
it looks now like the coal feet will be
able to return to Pttsburg without
being forced to tie up. Considerable
Kanawha coal is going South also.
