on to New Bern .on Friday,, landing
at the Blades' dock,, foot of Middle
street and all freights will be loaded
and unloaded at this point..
The fact that the L. B. Shaw is to
make stops at Washington, is afford
ing the citizens of that town a great
deaof satisfaction. The News of that
city : yesterday had the following to
say in regard to the matter:
"The- efforts of the Washington
Chamber of Commerce in endeavor
ing to secure a boat line between
Washington , Baltimore5 and Norfolk
upon- which they have been laboring
fdr some time bids fair to be crowned
with juccessv Secretary Charles , A.
Flyn of the Chamber.is just in reveipt
of a letter from Captain Henry
peakyne of the (Jeakyne line, stating
that this steamer the L. B. Sha will
irrtve in Norfolk on Mondays March
23, for the purpose of loading onfreight
consigned to merchants in Washing
ton. . Any business man in the city
having freight, ready for shipment at
that time will please ; write . Captain
E. Henry Deakyne, care of general
delivery, Norfolk and the freight will
be taken on board and brought to
this city. , This will be the first "trip
of the steamer L. B. Shaw. The rates
on freight from Norfolk here will be
from five to ten ( cents cheaper on the
hundred pounds than the rate now in
vogue on the railroads. This line is
to be established frbm Baltimore, Nor
folk to Washington and New Bern.
The Chamber of Commerce here is en
deavoring to have the merchants ofthe
city to meet captain Deakyne on his ar
rival here for a conference.
"It is stated that while at present
there will only one boat placed on
the run, another one will be put in
commission if the business justifies it.
"If the rates on freight can be se
cured by the business men of Wash
ington cheaper than those now it
behooves them to rally to its support.
"After the steamer L. B. Shaw ar
rives here next week with freight as he
will load for Baltimore and Norfolk
and then proceed to New Bern where
her cargo will be finished."
