FIRST DECISION UNDER THE New STEAMBOAT
LAw.-The inspectors Of steamboats, at Cincinnati,
appointed under the new steamboat law passed by
Congress, have made thorough investigation into
all the facts touching the recent collision on the
Ohio Of the steamers Falls City and the Pittsburg
The testimony elected established the following
facts:-The night was foggy one when the collis
ion occurred and the rules and regulations requiring
the ringing Of the bells and blowing the whistle at
intervals OF two minutes, when running in the fog,
were not complied with. Had they been complied
with the collision would not have taken place As it
was, laudabe efforts were made by both boats, par.
ticularly the Falls City, to prevent it. The signal
bell of the Falls City was tapped twice, signify
ing her wish TO 60 to the lerboard, arid that
Of the Pittsburg tapped once, expressing desire to
60 the starboard but unfortunately the signal
one was not understood by the other. It was also
proven that the collision would have been rendered
less harmless had both boats instantly stopped on
discovering each other. This was done by the Falls
City, but not 80 promptly by the Pittsburg In view
OF all the facts, they acqut the two engineers who
were on duty at the time, and suspend for twenty
days the license of John White, the pilot Of the
Pittsburg, and the license Of jeremiah Mason, the
pilot Of the Falls River for ten days. for not observ-
ing the rules and regulations. The inspectors state
that the penalty in this case il made light from the
fact that the rules are new, and as yet mperfecty
understood but thatin oil future cases they shall
exact the most rigorous penalties Of the law.
