and shipping.
Can't. Frank B. Avery will on May ]
enter the service of the New York,
Philadelphia and Norfolk Railway as
supervising engineer Of their floating
equipment. When the tug Abram
Minis was recently sold TO this com
pany. Capt. Avery took her on, and
it was then his appointment to re-
sponsible position with the railroad
was considered. The fleet consists of
10th towing and passenger boats, so
that the position is an important one.
Can't Avery has many friends who
will regret TO hear of his intended de-
parture from Savannah, where he has
resided for years. So long has he been
connected with the city's marine life
that he will be missed in shipping
Sircles, where he enjoys a wide ac-
-alnTance.
Capt Avery Joined the Propeller Tow
Boat force in 1891 to superintend the
building of the tugs Regis and H. NJ.
c. Smith, and came out in each-as
chief engineer. After the Smith was
delivered in Savannah. he took charge
of the tug Cambria, as captain, but in
recognition of his ability as
a machanic and engineer had charge
of the repairs of the boats. Capt.
Avery made the plans and model for
the tug William f. McCauley. He
superintendent the construction and
came out in her as chief engineer.
In 1899 the company decided to build
an ocean tug. A building committee
was appointed, but later they turned
the matter over to Capt. Avery, with
authority to go North, confer With the
different builders and get their bids
and make the contract with the low
est builder. This was Jno. H. Dialo-
que and San. who built the Minis.
Capt. Van B. Avery. now manager
of the company, brought the Minis
out when she was finished, with Frank
p. Avery, chief engineer. Frank B.
took charge of her as captain on her
arrival and commanded her until the
sale to the n. Y. P. and n. r. r.
Jacob Paulsen. Jr., for some time
employed on the towboats of the Pro-
peller Towboat Company, has accepted
a position with the Neafia and Levy
Shipbuilding Company, at Philadelphia,
and will leave in a few days TO assume
charge of his duties. Mr.. Pausen has
been working with the Propeller COM
pany, for some time and has shown
great mechanical skill in the handling
of steam craft He took a course in
the archaeological school at Atlanta
before returning to Savannah to en-
gage in running towboats. He has
many friends here who will be pleased
to hear of his good fortune, and wish
him success.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York. April 24.-Dealings in

the low level of the year, partly as a
result of the disappointment of the
professional trading element over the
failure of the removal to the new ex-

yesterday. The falling off in dealings
was attributed in part to the banish-
