THE
WRECk|NG
WORK
Scarcity of Lighters Prevents
Cargoes of Vessels From
Being Discharged.

The scarcity of lumber lighters in
port is seriously retarding the wreck
ing work, as those who desire to bid
on discharging the cargoes OF the
vessels cannot secure lighters upon
which to load the lumber. The recent
storm destroyed and damaged
the local fleet of lighters to a
large extent, and there are not enough
left for local use without the extra
service required.
Len LeBaron, agent for Lloyd's
yesterday telegraphed to the Southern
Construction Company of New Or
leans inviting that company to send a
representative here to bid on the
work and to furnish lighters and tow
boats to be used in wrecking.
He also telegraphed to several par
ties in Mobile who own lighters and
towboats inviting them to come here
or send representatives.

be done by order Of the Board OF
Public Safety which discussed the
matter last night at some length.
The meeting of the board was spec
ial one and those present were Mayor
Bliss and Messrs Ingraham, Nc
Gaughey and White
The first matter to demand atten-
ton was the report of the architects
and contractors appointed by the city
to investigate the condition of num-
Der of buildings in the city which
are deemed unsafe. This committee
was composed of F. al. Blount. ]. N.
Broughton and Chas. ". Turner.
The Klein bufid,nS,. at the corner
of Palafox and Main streets, was
found unsafe, and the committee rec
commended that the cellar be filled
with sand. the front strongly tied
with anchors and some portions OF
the walls rebuilt
The frame building at the corner
of Palafox and Magnolia streets was
found unsafe and beyond repair, and
the committee recommended that II
be demolished.

and Palafox streets, occupied by II
o. Arson, was found to be unsafe
and the committee recommended that
portion of the walls be rebuilt, new
arches placed and new porch built
The board adopted the recommen
dations of the committee and order
ed that they be carried out.
The Nude Pictures.
Mr.. McGaughey brought up the sub
ject of nude and indecent picture!
and statues that are displayed II
many of the saloons of the city. par
ticularly those patronized by negroes
He gave it as his belief that many o.
the crimes and assaults committed
in the south could be traced to the
display of these pictures, and though
it would be a wise move for TIT
board to take some steps towards
having them removed.
Mayor Bliss, Chairman Ingrahan
and Mr.. White expressed themselves
along the same line and a Resolution
was passed instructing the marsha
to order all proprietors of saloon
to remove the Objectionable figures
and if the order was not compile
with to bring them before the record

FLEET ARE
SAFE
The Kwasind and Littleheld
Weather the Blow at
Snapper Banks.

The fishing schooner Kwasind, of
the fleet Of Saunders & Co., arrived
in port yesterday, and her appearance
allayed the fears of the owners and
others that she had been damaged or
had not weathered the storm, but she
rode through the gale at the snapper
banks with perfect ease. While the
wind attained a high velocity the
smack was somewhat out of the
course of the storm and did not get
the full force of the blow She
brought in only about. one hundred
pounds of fish, and had no sooner
moorer alongside of the dock than ice
was being placed on board and she
will sail at once for the fishing
grounds.
The Kwasind also brought the
news that the Clara NJ Littlefield had
sustained little if any damage, and
was on the fishing grounds when the
former sailed. ~
Converted Into Sloop.
The smack Silvia, which was one of
the vessels only slightly damaged, has
been converted into "a sloop, as her
masts were carried away, and she has
been fitted out to be used as a
wrecker. She is in command of Capt
Frank Cooney and will start work this
morning.

the machinists' strike which vent in
to effect on the Southern Railway TO-
day, Mechanical Superintendent
Stewart said the basis of the machin-
lists wages paid by the Southern
Railway is substantially the standard
Of the South. Where inequality exist

them up to the standard.
The machinists argue the increase
in the cost of living justifes them in
expecting higher basis of wages
Mr. Stewart said the cost Of opera

company is in no better position to
increase wages than in recent years.
