1t is Expected Boats VIII Re-
sumo in the Ohio Monday.
Warm Weather Promised-Big Tow
boats Begin Passing
Down Now.
JOE WILLIAMS SINKS BARGE

The river outlook is more encourag-
ing to the river men this morning and
Captain Joe Fowler thinks IL the
weather continues warm, with little
rain the ice will disappear by Monday
and navigation can be resumed.
The river men are jubilant over the
outlook, as warmer weather is predict
ed and there seems to be little doubt
that ice will be running light enough
by Monday to take ont the boats. Sew
eral towboats which are being held in
Cumberland and at this port for the
ice to thin out, will venture out tomor-
row.
The thaw aud melting of the ice
will bring the Megiddo from Mound
City and will bring out of the Cam-
berland several towboats. Many boats
laying here with tows for Brookport
and Joppa, will start out to unload.
and the three show boats On route up
the river, the Swallow and Markle,
Eisenbarth and Henderson and
Gssches, which are all laying up above
here. will start out again and naviga-
ton in the Ohio will be resumed BY
the packet boats, which have been
laying here for some time.
The big Pittsburg towhoats, which
are coming down with tows of coal
and iron for the south, have begun to
arrive. The Joe B. Williams passed
down about O'Clock this morning
with big tow. She sank one coal
barge up about Caseyville with sever
al bushels Of coal, but came on, leav-
ing another boat to look after the
wreck. 1t is supposed the barge sprung
leak by striking the heavy ice.
The Finley and big monster Sprague
are following closely the Williams. It
is thought the barge of coal sunk last
night will be saved.
The ice is now gradually thinning
out. Some of the cakes that have
fioated to bank are found to be worn
by the heavy crunching and pounding,
into big round discs. Some of them
are as round Is big wheel.
Some of the ice, drifting through
the chute ana into Tennessee river,
has even foated up into Island Greek,
something almost unprecedented.
