The masters Of the vessels were afraid
TO attempt a sail up the river on account
of the ice. and for two or three days in
the latter port of last week they have
been telephoning TO Washington to have
tugs sent for them. Capt. Davis of the
tug Camilla, which had just completed
repairs at SOlomons Island, was instruct
ed by wire to visit the harbors frequented
by the oyster craft and to pick up all
he could find and bring them up the river.
At the same time the tug James o. Car
ter. Capt. Slye. was dispatched from this
city to meet the Camilla and assist her
up the river with her tow.
The tugs met in the lower river Satur-
day night and together brought in the big
feet of oyster runners. The twelve YES
sells have aboard between six and eight
thousand bushels of the bivalves and
give assurance of an abundant supply
for the Christmas market.

the delay will not be over a week in
duration. and the work will start about
January 1, to be finished in eigh. months
One Story in Height.
The library building will be one story
high. and will have a basement. The
main floor will have large reading room
and lecture hall, distributing room and
a children's room. The basemen. will be
used for storage purposes and for JAM
itor's quarters.
The amount given by Andrew Carnegie
for this library building was $4,000 OF
this sum $1,000 is to be used for furnish
ings and architects fees. leaving $34. 600
available to pay the contractor who
erects the building.
