THE LOUISE IN SERVICE AGAIN.
Thoroughly OvcrhauIed and Repair
ed in This City.

The Chesapeake and Ohio steamer
Louise is now plying between Newport
News and Norfolk, after having been
thoroughly overhauled and reprinted In
this city.
All the work was done at the railroad
shops on the water front, where the
Chesapeake and Ohio overhauls and paints
all of its cars. The painting was done
under the direction Of Mr.. Thomas Burns
and the ship caTpentering under the di-
rection OF Mr.. T. T.. Carter, while Mr.
T. S. Lloyd directed the whole job. The
work is frst-class, and all Of the officials
are more than satisfied with the result
1t is understood that hereafter. when
ever consistent with good Judgment, all
the Chesapeake and Ohio floating pro-
perty will be repaired here. The fresh
water at Richmond enables the sailors
to clear the holds Of vessels of all ougs
and it Is also true that the railway com
pany, knowing exactly what 1t wants,
can please itself better than il the work
were done elsewhere.
