ACCIDENT AT MARINE RAILWAY.
The bark Celina Is having hard time
getting off the railway. Tuesday after
noon the cradle was cut out and things
moved quite smoothly until about SD
O'Clock in the evening", when cog broke
on the wheel. which was temporarily re-
paired q short time ago, and this left the
Celina half way down the cradle where
IL was impossible TO move her one way or
the other. A new wheel has been ordered
and is now on its way, and In the mean
time II soft spell OF weather happens to
come, 1t will be possible to get the bark
out of her fix. A heavy north easter,
however, might make things uncomfort.
