PILOTS REJOICING
Over the Recommendation for the Re.
peal OF OdiOus Rule Mol.

PITTsBURGE, January 26.-The Chronicle
says Steamboatmen are jubilant to-day
over the action ot the Board of Supervising
Inspectors, at Washington, in recommend
ing the repeal of Rule |, which gave the de-
scending steamer the right to give the first
signal for passing, and asking the substitu-
ton OF rule giving the right to the
ascending steamer. The new rule is IN
reality an old one which was in vogue long
before steam whistles were heard OF, and
when the signals were given with the bell.
1t was adopted by the pilots themselves and
always worked satisfactorily. Z few years
ago, however, the Board of Inspectors, for
some reason ordered a change, and since
that time the number of collisions have
largely increased. The pilots remon-
stated time and again, but always
without avail, until last week, when
a committee sent to Washington sue.
Ceeded in demonstrating to the Board $
entire satisfaction that the old
rule was the best Many of the collisions
that have occurred on the Western rivers
within recent years, among them the Scioto
disaster and the collision between the
Emma Graham and the Wyoming, have
been attributed to this odious rule. A
number of pilots and captains were seen
this II orning, and one and all expressed
themselves as highly gratified with the
boards action in recommending the change
back to the old rule, which had been tried
aud found not wanting.

Ih. REQUISITE Depth Not Maintained.

The Requisite Depth Not Maintained.
New ORLEANS, January 26.-lnformstion
has been received here that Attorney Gen.
eral Brewster at Washington, to whom the
matter had been referred, has made an inn
portant ruling as to the contract with Capt
Eads for the maintenance Of navigable
channel through the jetties at the mouth
of the Mississippi river. Capt. Esds Is re,
quired by law TO maintain q channel OF 81
feet depth through the jetties and depth
of % feet through the South Pass =: the
head of the jetties. In the course OF the
late survey and soundiugs depth OF 2o.S
feet was found at one point IN
the pass above the jetties, and
was so reported 10 the war
Office in Washington. Captain Fades has
contended that he was not bound to keep
auy specific depth in the pass, but was only
required to get q depth of 70 feet In the
outset When the last report was received
at Washington it was referred to the L ol'
ted States Attorney General to decide
whether the maintenance OF speeihc
depth in the pass is included in the con
tract, and that officer has decided IN the
affirmative, declaring the obligation resting
on Captain EadS to Keep depth OF 70 teet
for a width of 200 feet in the South Pass
above the jetties. In consequence Por-
ton OF the subsidy due Captain Esds has
been ordered TO be withheld amounting to
about $1,000.

piratieaI Plot Exposed at Panama

PANAMA, January IA number OF de-
velopments are taking place through the
prosecution of the suspects arrested for
being concerned in the robbery of $4,000
belonging to the United States Govern
ment from the vaults OF the Panama Rail
road. Up to the present the money has
not been recovered, nor has the real cul-
prits, so far as the evidence shows been ar
rested; but in the correspondence taken
from some of the arrested persons, it ap-
pears that a plot was formed in Barran-
quilla last year to purchase small steamer
in New York, take her up the Magdalena
river, and capture the first heavy remit
tance of bullion and valuables coming
from the interior TO the coast. Barran-
uuilla is an Atlantic Colombian port, while
the MsgdsIena river is the main outlet, if
not the only one, for everything shipped
from tine interior States.

TIE Father of a Founding Asking for
His Child.

STEURENvILLE, o., January 25.-It will be
recollected that as a result of the Mingo
railroad accident which occurred in 1878, a
woman who gave her name as Mrs. Hea.ey,
but who was subsequently shown in the
courts TO have been Mrs. Hare, wife OF a
Philadelphia man, was so badly injured
that she died leaving a boy babe in the
charge of one, Lucy WOrthington, who
afterward adopted it. The child was an
illegitimate one, and Healey, for whom Mrs.
Hare had formed an attachment, was
its father. There was considerable
litigation over the matter OF the
child's adoption. Mr. Healey, who is
sergeant in the Second Cavalry, U. 5. A,
claimed that the child was his, but he fail
ed in his efforts To obtain the custody Oft.
Judge Croskey yesterday received letter
from Healey asking information OF the
child and whether it was alive or not. The
letter concluded as follows: 81 suppose |
have no claim on it according to law, but
still take great interest in its welfare,
and am willing TO take it and care for II
and do well for it, And not only that II
the child stops in Steubenyille he will grow

pie who will cast up into his teeth that he
Is illgotten; but il he were with me he
would be away from that place.

THE SOUTH PENNSYLVANIA
ures . Charter as the Harrisburg
and Western-The Route.

HARR1sBURG, Pa, January 26.-At the
State Department yesterday charter wss
issued to the Harrisburg & Western Rail-
road Company, with capital steck OF SIS
100000. The company proposes the con-
struction of road from this city to con-
nection with the Pittsburgh, McKeesport
& Youghiogheny Railroad at a point IN
the county of Allegheny nearly opposite
to the mouth OF Sewickley Creek,
with connection from a point on said
Harrisburg & Western Line near
Stairs Mill and the Chestnut Ridge
westwardly through the counties OF Fay
ette and Washington TO a point on the
western boundary Of Washington county,
on the waters of Wheeling creek, being on
the State line between the States OF Penn
sylvania and West Virginia. The length
of said road, as near as may be, IS 3Oo
miles, and the principal office OF the COM
pany shall be at Harrisburg. The name
of each county through or into which the
road is intended to be made is Dauphin,
Cumberland, Franklin, Huntingdon, Full
ton, Bedford, Somerset Westmoreland,
Aayette, Allegheny and Washington.
Capital and Corporations
The capital of the company is to be SIS
O0O, 600, being at least 10000 for every mile
of road proposed to be constructed, ana
shall consist of 100000 shares, OF the par
value Of $50 for each share. The affairs OF
the company shall be managed by Presl-
dent and board of directors, who shall con-
sist of the following named persons: Pres
| ident, Richard K. Sheldon, Philadelphlai
VIM. s. Sanger Harrisburg; G. NJ. Watson,
| Geo. o. Morgan and Geo. P. Grayer, Ale
| gheny City; P. T. Mcnamara, Pittsburgh,
and Frederick ]. Gretevsnt, Harrisburg.
On the Quiet.
The charter was taken out verv quietly
| and the parties interested endeavor 10 keep
all knowledge of it from the public. w
N. Watson, an employe in the office OF his
uncle, ID. I. Watson, Esq, OF Pittsburgh,
attended to the clerical work here. lie
would not say who were the capitalists be-
hind the scheme nor anything of their pur'
| poses or connections. 1t is evidently q
| Vanderbilt company, however. Richard
X. Sheldon, ostensibly the principa! stock
holder and president is president OF the
! South Pennsylvania, and Grodeyant, OF the
new board of directors, is secretary OF thai
! corporation.
The Route outlined
| in general terms in the charter is similar tc
| that OF the South Pennsylvania. There ha'
been some doubt as to whether the Soutt
Pennsylvania would come up Sherman
valley or the more roundabout but richer
| Cumberland valley. The scheme seems Il
contemplate the latter route. As to the ad
vantage of the new charter over the ole
one, the claim has been set up in the courts
in behalf of the rival Pittsburgh and At
lantic, of which ]. H. McCreery is counsel
that the old South Pennsylvania charter
which was taken out about twenty-six year:
ago. has lapsed and become void by reason
OF the delay in beginning operations.
NAV be that the new charter is taken on
out to avoid awkward litigation.
