A STEAMBOAT ARRIVES
FIRST VESSEL TO REACH HERE IN
 FOUR MONTHS.
The City of Mobile Came up to Mont gomery Wharf Last Night With Rather Light Freight
 List.

"A sail! a sail! cried shipwreckeo mariners in the story books. poa' boatw was the cry last night whe, the steamer City of Mobile toucneo a' the Montgomery wharf. the hrst steam boat that has picked its way 'nrousn this end of the Alabama hiVer III iour months.
 Away down the river. down pack or the Third Cat Hole. even as far as the Ioy.r i.Iand about two miles out, a faint rIeam of light darted in and out. Very weak and timid and shy was the little shaft of light at first, but 1t be- came more insistent. more daring. The trees and dense foliage on either bank of the stream and the yellow waters were thrown into a dazzling brilliant relief.
 This was the searchlight of the City of Mobile, and from the big electric re- Hector radiated a spirit of happiness and victory. Presently the 'chough, chough' and rhythmic stroke of the engines, the hiss of the exhausts broke for just four months.
 On up the river swept the packet, gliding along in the path furnished by tho searchlight. lone more bend and the Montgomery wharf was in sight. Majestically and triumphantly the ves- sel churned it's way past Boomers Bluff. past the First Cat Hole. And the last bend of the journey had been grace fully rounded. Glistening with myriads of electric lights. clean and neat as a pin from pilot house to the Texas" the City of Mobile fioated up to the Commerce Street wharf, and for, the first time in four months a steamboat had touched at Montgomery.
 The boat is twenty-four hours ahead of the schedule time, the reason be- ing that there was a falling off in the freight expected at Selma. The packet was looked for in Montgomery tomor- row night.
 The manifest brought up last night was very light. Four thousand sacks of cotton seed and 100 bales of cotton from the way landings comprised the local freight. There were two car loads of through freight among which was a quantity of white lead, and other items.
 It was on the night of August 30 that the last boat reached Montgom- cry. the 'shrinkage" in the river hav- ing killed all idea of any of them get ting here since that time. Captain T. H. Moore of the Peoples Line of Steamers said yesterday that the packet would make regular trips to Montgomery. leaving Mobile every Saturday and arriving in Montgomery every Tuesday.
 Captain Amos Travis is in charge of tho boat on this trip, Captain G. w Quarles. the regular master, being of on his holiday vacation. c. R. Moore the clerk, was there last night, and the regular crew was on board. The City of Mobile will leave some time today or tonight for the lower river.
