boat that has ever come above Nor
cantown. came up from PittsbuTGs TO
the F., NJ. and p. bridge yesterday.
but could not get under by at least ten
feet. There were about 1oO passen-
gers on board from Pittsburg and 9th
er points along the river who wanted
to see our city, but several did not
come up because they did not want to
change boats.
The Columbia is 112 feet long, has
sixty-eight state rooms, IA berthS'
and is practically new, having teen
built in 1898 She was in charge OF
Captain R. l.. Demain and compe-
tent crew, and makes fourteen miles

furnished excellent music for the pas
sengers Captain Domain said ne
would make regular excursions mp
here, and hoped that the bridge woulo
be raised SO that he could come mp 10
the much-talked-of city of Falrmont.
