Wharf Boat Tried 70 sink.

Four leaks were discovered in the
hold Of the wharf boat at the foot OF
Sixth street by the night Waterman
about 1870 O'Clock last night, which,
this morning, might have done consid
cradle damage 70 the boat and its con-
tents and possibly have caused it to
sink.
Two OF the leaks were In the north
end of the boat and two about in the
middle Of 1t on the east side. When
discovered a stream OF water as large
as ones two fingers was bubhling
through each one of them and the
hold was filled almost to the floor with
| water.
| The holes We're caulked as quickly
al possible by the Waterman and two
men were put at work on the hand
pumps, the only ones with which the
boat is equipped. in an effort to free
the hold Of the unwelcome food.
The east side OF the boat has been
filed with freight for some time and
lii thought that the leaks were sprung
by the weight of the enormous quanti-
ty Of wheat dumped off on the boat BY
the City Of Savannah Sunday night
and Monday morning Over two
thousand four hundred two bushel
sacks Of the grain were unloaded and
they were of necessity piled on the
shore side of the boat. which, Of itself
is the heaviest, and the great weight
having raised the east side slightly
Is thought to be what caused the part
ing the seams.
1t is expected that all the water will
have been out by about 6 or Z O'Clock
this morning.

Reports That Lees VIII Quit
Upper Ohio Trade Denied
ARE DOING A BIG BUSINESS AND
WILL Run UNTIL LOW WATER
TIME-WHARFBoAT TRIED
TO SINK.

Mr. Samuel Halliday, local agent
for the Lee Line Transportation Com
IRany. yesterday received emphatic
word by means of long distance tele-
phone from Mr. Boyd, of Memphis,
general freight and passenger agent
for the Lee Company, 20 the effect
that articles which have appeared in
Cairo, Memphis and ST. Louis papers
in the past few days. We're misleading
in that they would cause the reader TO
believe that the Cincinnati and Mem
phis boats, the Rees and Peters Lee,
were To be taken out OF thar trade.
Mr. Boyd stated positively to Mr..
Halliday that the company had not
the slightest intention OF abandoning
the Cincinnati and Memphis trade en-
urely but that, as happens every year
the business between the two cities
would have to be temporarily dropped
some time this fan on account Of low
water He stated though. that the
present stage of the upper Ohio is
better than it has been at his time
lof the year fer many years past and
that he confidently expected good
stage for the. Lee boats until Septem

| Mr. Halliday says that business or
the Lee line has never been better
than this season and that 10 abandon
the Ohio river traffic would be mad
mess. Every trip the Rees and Peters
Les have made this summer thei
staterooms have been filled and decki
covered with freight and passages an'
