Local and General News of ships
and shipping.
The steamboat Louise arrived yester-
day from Bluffton with a large con-
signment of freight. The freight con-
sisted of 4 large lot of case oysters,
to be shipped North by the coastwise
liners. As this is the freight moving in
most volume at present both the Louise
and the Doretta ma nagement are
working hard for the big share of 1t.
Later fertilizer will be moving to the
Carolina islands in larger lots than
at present, which will give the boats
more work to do. Fertilizer is moving
freely to upriver points. AT the Sa-
vannah River Steamboat Company's
wharves foot of Bull street, large
quantities are stored awaiting ship
ment.

Vessels cropping through the storm
in East River New York, on Satur-
day night, were threatened with
greater peril than grounding or sim
pie collision, but they were in happy
ignorance of it. At midnight police
headquarters was notified that the

storage of dynamite by firm of con-
tractors, who are blasting rock in the
East River opposite Fortieth street,
had parted from its moorings in mid
stream and was helplessly drifting to-
ward the Brooklyn Bridge.
The boat had been moored in the
middle of the stream, and during the
day there was displayed from it red
flag and at night a red lantern. Fire
boats were sent out to pick up the
drifting craft AT $50 a. m. the boat
was found and towed to the foot of
East Grand street.
Capt. A. j. Keogh, commanding the
Long Island Railroad ferryboat Rock
away, which left Long Island City at
l2:45, narrowly escaped a collision with
the hulk. He was forced to make a
sharp turn to avoid a collision.
