1t seems Mabry was armed, and OConnor
was not. The cause of the difficulty was an
old feud about the transfer of some property
from Mabry to O'Connor. Later in the after

THAT INHUMAN RULING.

AN EMPHATIC DENIAL FROM Ih1 1MSf 6OAon-
GENERAL OF STEAM VESSELS.
WASHINGTON, October 19.-The attention
of the gu pervising inspector OF steam vessels
was called to-dsy to the dispatch from chi
cago. stating that three deaths from drown
ing which occurred there last Sunday after
noon was the "result of strange ruling OF
the supervising inspectors of steamboats,;
that tugs must not, under penalty OF SoOO
for each person carried, take any passengers
on board" The supervising inspector general
saws: "No regulation was ever made BY the
department, or by the supervising inspectors,
which could be tortured into the prohibition
of The saving by tugs of the lives OF
drowning people. 1t is true penalty
of $500 attaches to any steam vessel
which carries passengers without the equip
ments required by the statute, but to con-
strne this as a prohibition of life-saying ia
to construe it in malice, and to use such con-
struction as a fiendish means OF forcing
change in the law. A tugboatman IN the
harbor of Chicsgo was recently lined by the
collector of customs for carrying pleasure
nartv on his tug without the equipments OF
| iife-saying appliances which the law re-
onires. The Secretary of the Treasury re-
mitted the fine, but directed the collector to
notify all tugboatmen that the law would

vessels. Soon after the PRONUNCIATION oil ihl'
note vague rumors came TO this office that

if they could not lawfully carry passengers
under any circumstances without mourning

neople from drowning even when they could
do go. The question whether they could
do so without incurring penalty
