We clip the following items from the
Cincinnati Enquirer:
Captain Harry Woodward, a veteran
steamboat pilot on both the Ohio and
Kanawhs rivers, has been quite i'll for
eight months, and is apparently improv-
ing but little, if any. He is now living
with his brother, Captain Dan w. Wood
ward, on his farm, two miles below Char
lesion, w. Va. We hope that he will
recover and report to duty again shortly!
The lighthouse tender Lily left
Pittsburgh on her return trip Monday.
On her up trip one new light was estab.
lished at Fairview, short distance above
Vanceburg, KY, which two of the best
pilots IN the Pittsburgh trade informed
US yesterday was entirely useless as there
is plenty OF water ut that point ut all
times. An inquiry Is also made as to the
fate OF the petition presented by the
Pittsburg pilots IN regard 10 the location
of certain lights above Pittsburgh.
