ONE SCHOONER REPORTS.
Delayed Vessel in Port-Another Be-
neved to Be Foundered.

The four-Inasted schooner Augustus
Welt. from Florida port with a cargo Of
phosphate rock aboard, was brought I'D
the river this morning and berthed at Alex
andrta. The Welt is one of the vessels for
the safety OF which considerable anxiety
was felt. She set sail from Punta Gorda
Fla, December g. and nothing was heard
OF her until she was reported passing in
the capes OF the Chesapeake Tuesday. AS
the vessel was out In several heavy gales
that caused the loss of more than one good
vessel. and she was several days overdue
some anxiety for her safety had begun to
be felt by shipping interests.
There are still no tidinGs from the Wash
ington owned schooner Dora, which sailed
from Charleston for New York over FIVE
weeks ago. and the fear felt for her has
grown into a feeling Of almost absolute oer-
tainty that she has been lost with all
aboard, although her owners In this city
have not given UP hope that something may
yet be heard form the long overdue
schooner. She was commanded by Capt
Edward MARITIME Of Baltimore and carried
four or five men In her crew. There Is q
possibility that the vessel may have been
blown far out OF her course by one Of the
heavy gales on the coast, and may yet be
heard from. but the probability OF this is
very remote.

Origin of Lloyd's,

'Lloyd's' is the oldest insurance COM
pany in the world. 1t covers shipping only.
In 1858 Edward Lloyd kept coffee house
down on the London docks, which was a
favorite resort for ship owners and cap
tains. 1t naturally became a sort of clear
ing house for marine intelligence People
who were expecting a ship to sail or to
arrive got In the habit OF going to LIoyds
to make inquiries and, to oblige his patrons
and attract patronage to his house, Mr..
Lloyd put up board upon which shipping
news was regularly bulletined. This scheme
developed into the publication Of little bull
letlns similar to those issued by financial
news agencies today, which were delivered
to subscribers throughout the business por-
ton OF London. This bulletin was called
'Lloyds News" and 1t was issued as often
as any information of Importance came to
the coffee house. II was a matter of great
convenience, for 1t saved those interested
from going down there to make inquiries
Ultimately Lloyd's News became so much
In demand that it was issued regularly,
three times week. for many years, until
suppressed because of the criticisms it con-
tained concerning the treatment of the mer-
chant marine by the government.
The insurance feature of Lloyd's grew
that coffee house of Underwriting" or
agreeing to share the losses of each others
ships and enterprises. 1t Is impossible to
say how the idea first took form, but when
q itlSiiaut Wdb ttDout " eCHa Out u sll1p
loaded with merchandise for America, or
Africa, India, a dozen more of his
business friends and crones would sign
paper agreeing to share any loss that he
might sustain from wind or weather."
provided he would agree to give them
small per cent of his profits. The percent
age was small. but increased with their
judgment of the risks involved. In that
way neighbors got into the habit of in
surfing each others cargoes and ships. At
first 1t was done by written agreements,
drawn up in the tap room OF the coffee
house as they smoked their pipes and drank
their ale and porter. 1t finally, however,
developed into an organized corporation, in
which all of the principal shipping mer-
chants of London took shares. That COM
pany still exists and Is not only the Oldest,
but the largest marine insurance company
in the world. 1t has agents in every port
of every country, whose business is to in
form the central office at London Of the
arrival and departure of vessels, of char
tiers, of variations in freight charges, and
to keep It advised of every matter of in
terest to the shipping world,

INSPECTION OF WHARVEs.
Notes of Repairs Required to Be
Made by Lessees.

Inspectors from the office OF Building In
spector Ashford visited the river front
Wednesday last and made an inspection of
a number Of wharves used for freight and
passenger traffic. The inspectors went un-
der the wharves, 1t Is stated, and made
notes Of the repairs necessary to them in
order to keep them In perfectly safe con-
dition. 1t is also stated that the lessees of
the wharf property will be notified to make
certain repairs within a specified time.
"The steamboat men agree that the entire
wharfng system of Washington should be
rebuilt by the District put in thorough
order at the expense of the District. Then
they would feel like keeping up repairs. but
as 1t is now they were forced to lease old
tumble-down wharves from the District
and to sign agreements to repair them in
order to do business. 1t is a case Of You
takes what you gets but what the Wash
ington steamboat man gets in the shape
of wharf facilities is very poor, and he
pays good rent for It,
