IMPORTANT STEAMBOAT DEAL
PROBABLE THAT ONLY ONE COMPANY
WILL OPERATE IN SMYRNA.
COsgriff Beck cOnsummate the Sale of the
Brady Steamboat Property in The Inter.
est of the Old Line.

1he general topic of conversation
last week was the sale of the Brady
Steamboat COmpany's property, in
Guiding the boat, franchise. Office furn.
lture &c., to the agency of Cosgriff &,
Beck of this town, for $91 200, as set
forth IN our last issue. On Thursday
last this sale was consumated in the
interest of the Smyrna TRANSFORMATION
Company, the old line which has been
operating in this town for years. This
deal came i'll the nature of great sur-
prise to the adherents of both comnon.
les although it was pretty we'll under
stood that two boat lines, at the low
freight rates inaugurated. could not
thrive successfully in this community.
ana many had been looking on the
sharp competition as only question
OF time before one or the other of them
would have to withdraw. or be ab-
soroed into one concern. The outcome
was III favor of the TRANSFORMATION
Company as effected through tbe Of
forts of the real estate agency of Cos
grif' Il Beck.
On Monday last the Steamer Brady
was put on the Transportation Com
pany's line and will run alternate trims
with the Steamer Elizabeth Van Scivar
IN making mp the daily line during the
strawberry season. What the old
company will do after this, the future
alone will decide. 1t is most probable
that a thorough reorganization will
take place in the course of a week or
so, and the line will be established on
stronger foundation with but one
object i'll view and that to give tbe mer-
chants and fruit growers of this com
munity the best service possible.
In connection with the companv's
interest, there is an important move
ment on foot whereby a large cannerv

here, it will doubtless prove great
boon to Thoroughfare Neck. The
plant will occupy the site including
he wharf used by the PHILADELPHIA &
smyrna Transportation Companv and
he Brady Wharf," recently pur-
'hased, will be used for the landiny
'lace of the boat lines.
Owing to the unsettled affairs con-
ingent with the sale, those who have
he old cOmpany's interests in hand
lave not fully decided what eonrse
hey will take, and it is impossible TO
,ather at this writing, what will be

A Colts Liking for Tobacco.

Minnie Wilkes, the one wear old
colt, sired by the thoroughbred stall
lion, Columbus Wilkes, at Meadow
Lawn Farm, and sold to Collector of
Customs, G. Wesley Thomas of Phila-
delphla, has revealed a characteristic
peculiar to most men. The groom
who has entire care of her discovered
when grooming her that she seemed to
be restless and would lick his neck.
hands and face, indicating that it needed
something to eat. The groom. in
order to keep her quiet while groom
ing gave her small piece of tobacco.
which she began to chew and at once
became quiet and continued so
until he finished grooming. Since her
first taste of tobacco, she seems to
have become fond of it and every time
the man who has charge of her begins
grooming he has to give her piece of
tobacco, which she chews and seems to
relish like most men.
Collector Thomas, his wife and
daughter, have become so much at
tached to Minnie Wilkes since he has
possessed her, that he has stated that
he would not part with her for apy
reasonable consideration.
