was built expressly for the Southern service
ut Greenpoint, N. Y, in 1912, by Henry
Steers, who had the reputation of being the
best shipbuilder in the United States. The
plans and specifications used In its construc-
ton were the same as drawn for the Essayons,
but the MeAllister WAS more strongly and
carefully constructed. After having been
the vessel was ordered to New Or
leans, and arrived ut Southwest Pass on the
twenty-eighth Of June. 1872 Since that time
it has been in service, and, barring n few tri-
fling repairs, was considered the best aud
dredgeboat afloat'
Our contemporary also mentions that six
months ago the MeAllister had been con-
bad condition that pumps had to be constantly
worked to prevent her from sinking, but the
writer does not state any authority from
whom such information was obtained. This
HEROIC BUT DESPERATE
operation of sheathing is very simple and OF
every day use. 1t consists in removing few
unsound panks from u vessel, and after sub
or strengthen the work with plates of metal.
And this, far from injuriDg vessel, only rem
ders 1t more staunch and seawortby. When
the McAllister was ordered to Sabine Pass,
Major Howell, before allowing her to proceed.
and not trusting his own personal super
vision, secured the assistance OF several ex~
perienced inspectors, ship builders and ship
captains, who after thorough investigation,
pronounced the vessel and lifeboats to be we'll
repaired. in good order, staunch and perfectly
seaworthy and safe.
Major Howell has already taken the neces-
sary steps for q rigorous investigation Of the
loss Of this vessel. The revenue cutter
JOHN A. DIX
has just returned from an extended cruise In
search Of the McAllister, but can give no It'd
ings of the vessel.
Major Howell is positive that the article re-
fiectinG upon the condition Of the McAllster
as a seaworthy vessel is simply calculated as

The fate Of the late dredgeboat McAllister

he had to say about the matter, and from this

At that time both Eustis and Kellogg were

The report of G. b. Johnson, who was ap-
pointed to examine the books of the Fire
Department while w. B. Folger was acting
Secretary, is in part as follows:
On May S1st. 1877, the late Secretary drew
from the City Treasury, on account OF
the May payroll III 46
The correct amount of said payroll was. 12,01 46
Amount overdrawn wn......u".".........$ 100 20
And on December 9th, 1877, the late Sec
retary drew from the City Treasury on
account of December payroll. S10,675 so
The correct amount thereof was......... 1885 80
Amount overdrawn. 2s9 90
Thus making total of $399 overdrawn by
the late Secretary on account of services
This amount has neither been returned to
the treasury nor turned over to his success
sor, and is, therefore, a debt due the city
from him. A singular overdraft was made
by the late Secretary amounting to 5000, on
account of payroll for April, 1873, but on
the 4th of May he returned said sum to the
City Treasury.
further find that the late Secretary drew
and paid himself for salary as Secretary for
the month of September, 1877, the sum OF
5000, being 500 in excess of the amount at
that time allowed. A careful examination
of the minutes of the Honorable Board of
Commissioners shows no action of the Board
justifying said increase, and | am, there
fore, forced to the belief that the late Secre-
tary'S action in this matter was unauthor
lied, and that he should refund the said
excess.
The total discrepancy thus foots up s499,
which Mr.. Folger agreed to pay back if it
really existed. The Board gave him until
Saturday to examine for himself.

A good joke on n couple OF Easton Pa }
younc men has accidentally leaked out.
On Saturday evening, they became en-
gaged in an alteration the quarrel
grew heated, aud one who was Of "A
rather romantic turn OF mind, handed
the other slip of paper on which was
written, " Target practice. The In
tended insult was quickly snapped up
by the other, aud the necessary arrange
ments made. the same night, at eleven
O'Clock, was appointed "a the time, and
the place selected was a lonely spot
along the Delaware River. about one
mile from this city. And now comes the
ludicrous part of the.RfIair. The seconds,
who had been selected, secured the
services of three others, and disguised
two OF them in the uniforms Of police
officers. and the third as surgeon,
with his box Of instruments ready for
action. Toward the appointed time
the party repaired TO the scene OF action i,
fifteen PAGES were stepped of, and the
contestants took their positions The
referee with the seconds and surgeon
stood at n short distance awaiting the
denouement. "Onep rang out sharp
and clear ON the midnight air. The
principals trembled, but 10 was too Late
nov TO turn coward. 1.-TWO !" in sharp
tones again broke the stiffness of the
night, but the programme suddenly
changed. According to the precon-
certed plan, the police officers rushed
upon the scene and arrested the
participants. They were marched TO
town in the custody OF the officers, when
the latter were (supposedly) bribed for
$50 each, and the offenders were released.
The occurrence although huge practi-
cal joke, will doubtless teach the hot
headed Youths a lesson.
