IMPORTANT 10 ENGINEERS. The ST.
Louis ReyubiirGn says: John Hard"sty.
u steamboat engineer on the Chester, Was
tried IN the United States Di.trict Court
on charge OF violating the law, by fail
ing to post up his license in N conspicu-
ous place on the boat. 1t was shown
that the inspector boarded the boat on
the day of her departure from this port,
and finding that the engineers license
was not posted ms required, made com
plant against him. On the other hand,
Hardesty proved that, after the inspector
went ashore, ne FASTENED to his house and
brought down the license, and posted it
in n con. picuous place on the steamer.
.Jadge Treat decided that All engineer Is
not not obliged to have his license posted
while the boat is IN port, and that the
posting as done by the defendant Was
sufficient. Hardcsty WAS discharged.
