Philadelphia, July 29.-The Clyde Line

AS the Go.dshoro came up Delaware

the tug Atkins Hughes. which went TO
her assistance, and pumped water into
her hold. At Chester the ireboat Edwin
S. Stuart drew alongside and proceeded
up the river with her.
When the Goldsboro arrived opposite
her docks she was lowed to the Camden
side of the river and beached in the mud

The steamer is loaded with general mer-

a large amount of dry licorice root It
is impossible a this time to estimate
the amount of damage.
The fire was extinguished late tonight
after the hold had been filled with water.

After the water has been pumped out of
