BOTH BOATS To
Be REPAIRED At
LITTLE EXPENSE
PILOT ASSOCIATION STEAMER
AND RIVER STEAMER WITH
WHICH COLLISION WAS SUE
FERED, TO BE WORKED ON.

Early yesterday the pilot boat Pilot,
damaged in collision with the river
steamer Capt. Fritz, was hauled
around to the slip north of a movable
bridge in the slip between the twin
warehouses of the railroad company
and out of rough water. The boat
hardly feels the rise and fall of the
tide there, and the water is always
quite settled. The quiet water will
therefore help the work to some ex-
tent. Machinists are working there
with a view of patching the hull and
thus making it out of the question for
question for the Pilot to leak. That
where the Capt. Fritz stuck her nose
through is the only injured part of the
vessel.
The Capt. Fritz, in tow of the new
steamer Geneva, left Pensacola early
yesterday for Freeport, where repairs
will be made. The greater part of the
Capt. Fritz's cargo was taken aboard
the Geneva, and word was received
that the vessels arrived safely at des
tinatiOn.
AS yet there has been no official in,
quiry to determine responsibility for
the accident. The matter has been
talked over by both sides and both
shippers believe that they were not
personally to blame

MEETING Of THE
SONS Of VETS
DEFERRED ACTION ON ELECTION
OF DELEGATES, SPONSOR AND
MAID OF HONOR, BUT DIS
cUSSED REUNION TO BE HELD
IN MOBILE NEXT MONTH.

E. A. Perry Camp, Sons Of Confed-
crate Veterans, held a meeting at the
Office OF r. P. Reese last night for the
purpose of electing delegates to the
United Confederate reunion to be
held at Mobile April Goth to 29th.
On account of the absence of Hon.
Jno. S. Beard and other members from
the city, it was decided to defer cleo
ton of delegates, sponsor and maid of
honor until next Wednesday, March
goth, when another meeting will be
held for that purpose. at which time
camp officers will also be elected for
the ensuing year.
Much enthusiasm was manifested at
the meeting, number of the mem
bers announcing their intention to at
tend the reunion, independent of the
delegates to be elected.
Mobile being in the very heart of
the south, it is stated by those who
are in a position to know, that the
coming reunion Of the veterans will be
notable for its large attendance, and
also that for the reason that there are
so many important questions to come
before the meetings of veterans and
the meetings of the sons, among which
questions are the text book or his
tories of the war being taught in the
schools, and the acceptance of the de-
sign for the monument to the women
of the south designed by Miss Belle
Kenney Of Nashville.
