LIGHTER GOES TO OCCOQUAN.
Will Be Employed Loading Railway
Ties on Barges.

The new derrick lighter recently fitted
out at this city for l.. A. Clark & Son
left here yesterday afternoon in tow OF
the Taylor tug James Q. Carter for Oc-
coquan, where it will be employed in load
ing railway ties upon barges for trans
portation to Philadelphia and New York
The machine is SO constructed that
falls from 1t can he carried ashore for
a considerable distance, made fast about
a pile of ties or pulp wood and, with the
power aboard il, hauled aboard the hoist
er for transportation to the barge lying il.
deep water of the channel. Heretofore il
loading these barges the ties had to be
handled from the lighter to the barge
by small block and falls that could raise
but one tie at a time.
The machinery in the new holster is
powerful enough to lift dozen or more
ties aboard the barge at one time. Its
use is expected to greatly simplify the
methods of handling ties that have been
III vogue On the Potomac for many years
and to reduce the loading time of barges
more than half

tree and carried his fellow-officer TO a
nearby house. 4 short time later the
posse arrived, and, after learning Of what
the negroes had done, ridded Sam Ellis
