The Domestic Coal and Wood Compauy's
| barge Livingston, with about so tons of
coal, went down yesterday at the Southern
Cotton Seed Oil Company's wharf, where
she was receiving a cargo Of coal which
IS being discharged from the schooner
Thomas L Ward. The barge went down
Friday, but was raised after the Jug For
| est City had removed about seven feet OF
water from her. 1t was thought al the
time she had been sufficiently freed to al
low other methods of finishing the work
but her second mishap indicates such was
probably not the case.
| It is understood another effort will be
| made to-day to raise the Livingstou
! Wrecking pumps have been put aboard
her and tug win go alongside to furnish
steam for them. AS the barge is careen-
| ing toward the schooner Ward, which is
| alongside, it is desired to do quick work
in order to avoid any damage to her. The
only explanation given for the sinking OF
the barge is that she was rather heavily
loaded, thereby bringing leaky points be
low the water line. R. S. Salas is in charge
Of the work for the coal company.
