The German ship Union, Capt Bremers
eighteen days from New York, arrived
yesterday, consigned to Paterson. Down
ing & Co. Capt. BTemers reports having
had a tedious trip down the coast. In
three days after leaving New York, he
reached Cape Lookout, when the vessel

The British steamship Leuctra. Capt
Mulcahy, from Greenock, via Sandy Hook.
arrived yesterday, consigned to w. w.
Wilson. She is chartered for a cargo of
cotton to be shipped to Hamburg.
Yesterday afternoon the contractors in
stalled on the new harbor of refuge at the
Delaware Breakwater standard lanterns
of lighthouse board pattern in place of
the post lights which have been display
e@ on the structure during the winter and
concerning the character of which so
much complaint has been made. The
Philadelphia Maritime Exchange and 9TH
ers have been interested in bringing about
this change, and in December, 1898 petit
toned the lighthouse board to increase
the visibility of the lights then exhibited
on both ends of the harbor of refuge.
These lights are red and can be seen for
a distance of four or five miles, and should
under all conditions be sufficient to warn
vessels TO keep clear of the structure.
