MIX-UP ON THE RIVER.
Tugboat, Raft of Piling and Schoon-
erS in a Tanple

A tugboat towing a long raft of pine
piling. big twomasted bay schooner
laden with lumber and two small river
schooners were in a mixup off Alexan-
dria yesterday, but no harm was done
except 10 the tempers of the men in
charge of the various vessels.
The tug ID. NJ. Key. towing the raft of
piling for this city. was on the way up
the river. The schooner H. a. Waters at
tempted to pass the tug. The tide was
running in such way that ii caught the
schooner and worked her broadside
against the raft. The small schooners
attempted TO move out from Alexandria
just the tug and raft which stretched
a hundred yards behind the tug. passed
They were blocked in tie dock. One of
them the Fleetwing, in working to get
around the tow fouled the tow line of the
tug and was almost capsized. She finally
worked ahead of the tug and went on
down the river leaving The other vessel
stuck in the mud on a shoal lump where
she remained for an hour or two.
The ferry steamer l.ackawanna was
held i'll her dock for fully ten minutes
while waiting for the raft to drift by.
Everything was finally Strengthened out.
