IMPORTANT TO PILOTS.
Points Worth Cutting Out by River
Men for Future Reference.

POINTS worth Cutting Out by River
Men for Future Reference.
Congress has passed laws requiring
steamboats, to signal each other with the
whistle, TO indicate which side they are to
take in paSsing-the up stream, we believe,
having the choice of sides, the signal of
which is answered by the descending boat,
and they pass eacl other accordingly.
1t is remarkable that although many of
our rivers Fare inOw crossed by railroad
turn or draw bridges, Congress has not
fixed the rules or signals for opening and
closing ofthe bridges over navigable rivers.
Railroads, it seems to be understood, must
not obstruct river navigation, and steam
boats in Ike manner, should not Obstruct
rail transportation. 1t is important, there
fore, that rules should be enforced that viii
obviate the unnecessary detention of the
steamers or the trains. Pilots running
through different States are not supposed to
know, indeed it is not practicable for them
to ascertain, the different signals required
at the various railroad river crossings, as
for example, neither of the three bridges
on the Cumberland river have the same
signal for opening the draws.
The rules given below are important,
and should be observed until Congress fixes
uniform rule of signals for the whole
country. We beg our contemporaries in
GAINESVILLE, Smithland, Cairo, Evansville,
Louisville and Cincinnati to copy the rules
below for the information of steam boat
men:
RULES AGREED UPONSBY THE RAILROAD
AND STEAMBOAT AGENTS FOR OPENING
OF RAILROAD BRIDGE, NASHVILLE,
JUNE l, 1915.
Rule boats coming up to give six (6)
distinct whistles as low down as the Race
Track, to be repeated at the foot of the
Island.
Rule Boats ready to leave the WHAT,
to blow six co. distinct whistles as warn
ing signal to bridge Waterman.
Rule 3.-Bridge Waterman to answer
sound signal by hosting red flag in day
light and red light at night, above the
bridge, to signify The sound signal has been
heard.
Rule Boat to signal as soon as the
red flag by day and red light by night are
diplayed, by repeating the six CO. distinct
whistles, and leave the wharf Immediately
thereafter.
Rule 5.-If, from any cause, boats are
delayed and cannot leave Immediately,
they will sound one long whistle, two short
and then one long one, in succession, max
ing four a. distinct whistles, to indicate
boat is delayed, and that bridge need not
be turned until six whistles are repeated.

To the Unlon and American:

To the Union and American:
Allow me to call your attention and that
of your readers, to the subject named at
the head of this article. Not for a mere
enumeration Of facts connected with it, or
for the purpose Of Boosting of the happy re-
suits already attained.
Perhaps no drawer or more courageous eff
fort was ever put forth, than that 10y which
something more than a year ago, noble
band Of Christian women inaugurated this
refuge for the miserable and morally help
less of their own sex.
By the united IabOrs Of a few ladies, a
veritable "Home," with all the appliances
and safeguards belonging to such a place,
has been brought into existence, overlooked
and controlled by two excellent matrons,
Mrs. Skipwith and Mrs. Young (sisteTs)
who have long been fayorably known to
many in Nashville as accomplished seam
stress and tailoress, and who instruct and
govern the household under their care,
with admirable skill, patience, and human
ity. While this community of industrious
women receive with gratitude, and execute
with conscientious care, and at reasonable
prices, every kind of needle work entrusted
to them, they do not as yet obtain enough
work to support the "HOme without out
side aid.
As the hot months approach, and many
of the Lady Managers will be compelled to
leave the city, it is thought advisable that
a fund be raised for contingent expenses
during their absence, so that no reclaimed
female shall be compelled, through lack of
shelter and honest employment, to return
TO an abhOrTed and degrading life. 1t is
therefore proposed, and will to-day be car
ried into effect, that a collection for the
benefit of the "WOman's Mission Home" be
taken up simultaneously in all the churches
of the city and surrounding country.
Thus the Observation-Disclosures will be
secured against actual want, and the re-
straints Of respectability insured. All or
ders for work are promptly and faithfully
performed at the Home, and no young
matrOn need be afraid to venture with the
work she wishes done, among the quiet,
humble and orderly household. Neither
need any one fear tC meet with anything
shocking to good taste or manners, among
these truly penitent, and in some instances
devout, thoroughly converted christians.
Trusting to the general belief in the we'll
known text from our Saviour's sermon on
the mount, "Blessed are the merciful, for
they shalt obtain mercy" and that the
hearts and hands of the people will to-day
be open to this sweet influence, L am re-

with the better grades brought from abroad

Last evening, about the usual hour for
closing business for the day, an incident
occurred in the house of Tavel, Eastman &
Howell, long to be remembered by the
participants. Mr.. W. II. Mcbride, as rep
resentative of the employees of said
firm, presented them with a very hand
some silver cup, as a recognition
of their fair ard liberal dealings with them.
The whole-sOul and generous members of
the firm could not be thus dealt with with

They made a raid on BaSset, and in a short
time all were made to feel happy by being
furnished with an ample supply Of straw

AZ meeting of Representatives from the

at the Office of the Secretary of the State
Grange, yesterday, DR.. VIM. P. Jones was
called to the chair, and Isaac LittOn ap-
pointed Secretary.
The chairman stated that the COMMITTEES

and believing that the location here would
be of great advantage not only to the
Order, but also to the citizens Of this CON-
munity, it was, on motion, ordered that
the chairman prepare a statement, showing
the advantages Of this locality, and present
it to the committee Of the National Grange.
The committee then adjourned until Tues

Messrs. E. r. Shankland, Of Dubuque,
Iowa, and J. T. Jones, of Helena, Ark, the

Thy faith saves thee. Go in peace!'
Penitence, though newly born,
From thy shackles brings release.
Weeping at our SaviOur's fee',
While the warm showers freely now
Resolutions pure and sweet,
In thy humblest heart will grow.
Like the precious ointment poured
With the wOman's loving tears,
On the feet of Him adOreO,
Thy repentance now appears.
And though Pharisees may stare,
Deeming it a foul disgrace,
should a female sinner dare
But TO seek our SayiOur's fsce,
He hath justified the deed
By thy many sins forgiven;
Spite of PhaTisees' proud creed,
Thou shalt have place in heaven.

Archbishop PURCELL's NARROW
ESCAPE.
Cincinnati Enquirer, May %

CINCINNATI enquirer, May y
Yesterday morning Archbishop Purcell
and Father Ahlbrink, the priest of the
Church of the Holy Trinity, were out
driving on the Harrison pike, when their
horse took fright at some object and went
dashing down the road at a fearful speed.
Father Ahlbrink, who was driving, used
every effort to stop the frightened animal,
but unable to check him could only man
ace to keep him in the road. After they
had been dragged az this mad pace for
some time, the buggy struck some obstacle
and was overturned, throwing both its &C.
cupants out on the roadside with consider
able violence. The Archbishop was con-
siderably bruised and sustained violent
nervous shock by his narrow escape, but
fortunately had no serious injuries, while
Father Ahlbrink escaped with'a few slight
scratches.

To the Union and American;
SnELBYvILLE, Tenn, May 20, 1ST5.-
Imade mistake only in the wording of
nv telegram of the 18th. l should have
used, "Will not commute his punishment"
Everyone here is Of the opinion that the
court had no pO1rer to commute the pun
ishment Of Holt, and that it could only
recommend him to the clemency of the
Governor, and this the citizens here thought
il had done. We would like 10 know where
the Supreme Court gets its authority
i'm law or precedent TO change the
decision Of a Law Court or decide a case
finally. We earnestly ask information upon
this point.
II e people here feel themselves greatly
outraged. They ask now that the Cover
nor give the finishing touch and turn Holt
out of the penilentiary and let him make
=, ''0' B.P. S.
This has led us to examine the law and
we discover that there has been a probable
misapprehensiOn regarding the effect Of the
Supreme Courts action. The language Oi
the order IS.
"Jordan Holt vs.. the State-In cOnse-
quence of the youth Of the defendant, the
Court is Of opinion that this fact is an eX
tenuating circumstance, for which the pun
isment should be committed from ueath to
IMPRISONMENT for life in the penitentiary-
Judge Turney not COncuTing in this Or
| der"
II is clear to us that this language may
be construed as a simple recommendation
to the mercy Of the Governor, especially
as we agree with OuT correspondent, that
the Supreme Court has no power to direct
" extend clemency in a capital case, how
ever much weight its recommendation may
have with the Governor.
