to the dock at Jeiiersonvllle to get her
load, and leave on her first trip for this
side of the river. The bell rung for ''all
ready" and the pilot rung the bell for the
engineer to back her, bus no attention
was paid to it. He rang again, but the
engine stood still. Upon In
vestISation it was found that the faithful
engineer had turned the throttle for the
last time, for ne was found dead upon the
foOt.box, at the levers. Mr.. Jas. Bailey
was his name. lie died of heart disease,
and leaves wife and children to mourn
his loss. lie was a good and faithful
man, and had been in the service OF the
ferry company II or 10 years.
