WILL BRING LATHS HERE.
Schooner Cousins Loading With Big
Cargo at st. Johns, N. B.

The three-masted schooner Harold b.
Cousins is at st. Johns. N. b.. loading
a large cargo Of laths for Johnson q
Wimsatt of this city. The vessel is ex-
pected to arrive here early in the coming
month with her cargo. Each year sew
eral three-masted schooners with laths
aboard are brought to this city from
Nova Scotia, and this and asphalt from
South America are the only cargoes
brought here from foreign ports. It
was thought that a big steamship would
be the next vessel to come here with
laths. The water in the harbOr was
deep enough for the vessel and the dock
ing facilities were satisfactory, but the
charter fen through because the con-
signees here could not guarantee to un-
load several hundred thousand iaths each
day, labor sufficient to do the work not
being available

visions Against Coming Of Winter.

The lighthouse service vessels belonging

aids to navigation In the fifth lighthouse
district are engaged in supplying the
lights in the district with coal and wood
in preparation for the coming of cold
weather. and in the next two or three

trict will have been supplied.
Many Of the lights are located several
miles out from the shore and the keepers
and their families have to depend upon

coast north of Cape Charles to leave with
them a supply of fuel sufficient to last
them for several weeks, until the steam
err can get around to them again with
another supply. Early in the week the
tender Maple visited and supplied fuel
to the lights in the Potomac.
