MARINE
INTELLIGENCE

PILOTS KEPT busy.


The river and bar pilots have made
a new record since the business sea-
son opened.
They have been working night and
day, and their steamer, the ]. H.
Estill, has kept at sea without inter-
mission, except to come into Tybee
roads to take on pilots, to take the
place of those who have been put
aboard inward bound vessels.
During and since the West India
hurricane that passed up the coast the
sea has been very rough. and pilots
have had to be spry in getting off or
boarding vessels. In going to an in
ward bound steamship just after mid
night yesterday morning, the steamer
Estill shipped two heavy seas over her
bow, and in the language of Capt.
Charley Marmelstein: They were real
green seas. too"
The Italian steamship Ed. Pamiento,
now in port is magnificent ship of A.
900 tons. and is one of line of Italian
emigrant vessels. though on this voy-
age she is a freighter.
The steamships that have been COM
ing to this port this season are, as a
rule, not the old tramps and iron boxes
with engines in them, but well equip
ped ships with all modern maritime
conveniences.
The British steamship Louisiana,
which sailed from this port for Liv-
erpool, made the trip across in four
teen days. The return trip ended yes
terdays when she again entered port,
making the voyage in fifteen days
This vessel is one of the handsomest
freight steamers in the trade.
One of the big steamships that came
in Thursday, the British steamer Cas-
tilia, will have a variegated cargo when
she starts across the Atlantic. She
arrived at Fernandina Thursday a
week ago. and took on 5000 barrels of
naval stores and sailed on Wednesday
for this port, where she will take on
5000 bales of cotton. Leaving here,
she will go to Newport News, Va, and
take about 400 head Of cattle, and
thence to Liverpool. The Castillo has
accommodations for twenty-five first
class passengers.

OF BALTIMORE WROUGHT UP
OVER APPOINTMENT OF
POSTMASTER.

Washington, Dec. 26.-The an
nouncement from the White House to-
day that the president had selected w.
Hall Harris of Baltimore for postmas-
ter of that city has raised a commo-
ton within the Republican machine
there. Harris is a lawyer and man
of standing but his name had not been
publicly mentioned in connection with
the Office for which contest of
months standing has been waged.
1t is understood that Harris was
recommended by Attorney Charles j..
Bonaparte of Maryland, selected year
ago by the president to assist in the
postofIice investigation. His strongest
endorsement was that he would be un-
der no obligations to any politicians or
machine.

PRETT Ty WOMAN
Found Unconscious in ihe
Snow at Riverside
Park.
DIED IN AMBULANCE.

New York, Dec. 26.-Half covered
by snow and unconscious from either
poison or exposure, a pretty young
woman was found in the snow at Riv-
erside Park and One Hundred and
Twelfth street today and died In an
ambulance enroute for hospital.
There were no marks of Identification
on the body. Partially obliterated
marks in the snow around the spot
lead the police to think the girl was
carried there and hidden from the
sight of passers-by,
Charles Mahoney of ia East Eighty
eighth street, saw the body and said
that possibly it was that of his neice,
Julia, who disappeared from her home
last Thursday. He was not sure, how
ever, and the girls parents who live at
Yonkers have been sent for
The girl was discovered by Ludwig
Hoffman, park attendant, who called
Policeman John Casey who sent in a
call for an ambulance. While await
ing its arrival, Hoffman and two cit
liens attempted to restore conscious
ness to the girl and were partially
successful, but when DR.. Severance
saw the girl he said her case was
hopeless and ordered her taken to the
hospital She died as she was being
placed in the ambulance so the body
was taken to a police station.
The woman was about % years old
and was clad in a black waist. skirt
and jacket and white underwear. She
wore a black hat trimmed with vel
vet.
Three precinct detectives are work
ing on the case and the body is at the
Harlem morgue, awaiting positive
Identification. The crowd had sc
trampled the snow at the spot where
the body was found that the detectives
were unable to trace the footprints
described by Hoffman.

w. & |. {. COMPANY
HAS SUED THE q. g. o. FOR DAM.
AGES RESULTING FROM A
MASsiLLoN COLLISION.

The Wheeling and Lake Erie Rail
way Co. brought suit against the Bal
timore & Ohio road at Cleveland for
S3,5O7.75 damages, alleging that the
latter company was guilty of negli-
gence at the Massillon crossover on
August %.
The two roads cross at a grade in
Massillon, and trains on either track
ars supposed 20 stop not nearer than
200 feet to the crossing. On the day
in question, 1t is claimed the w. e. l..
t. train had the right of way and was
on the crossing when b. G. o. freight
dashed into il, having failed to heed
the target signal.
The amount now being sued for was
spent by the Wheeling G. Lake Erie
road in clearing up it's track and re.
pairing and replacing its damaged
rolling stock after the collision.
