CAPTAIN VIRDEN DEAD.
Death OF the Father Of Delaware
Pilots Saturday.

Death OF the Father OF Delaware
Pilots Saturday.
Captain Henry Vrden, the wsll-known
Delaware river pilot, and member Of the
Board Of Pilot Commissioners, died at
this residence OF his son on Pine street
below Third, Philadelphia, on Saturday
morning. The deceased was taken i'll
while on q cruise for incoming vessels at
Delaware Breakwater q few days ago
and was taken to Philadelphia
on the pilot boat Thomas F
Bayard. Since reaching that city
no gradu lily grew worse and never
rallied. Captain Virden was about 60
years Of age, and has spent nearly all
his life in the pilotage service. He was q
thorough master Of his calling, and was
considered one OF the most skillful and
competent men holding license.
In addition to holding q Delaware
State pilot license, he held United States
license. Among vessel owners he was
very popular and by captains he was
greatly esteemed as \ thorough pilot and
a courteous and genial gentleman.
The deceased was most determined,
resolute man, and has several times
taken stands in defense Of the pilots Of
this State, from whioh nothing could
drive him. he was chiefly instrumental
In having the Delaware pilotage laws
passed by the General Assembly
10 1881. These were carefully framed
TO protect the Delaware pilots rights,
and to maintain the fees at such rate
as would enable those engaged In plotting
vessels to make living. These laws
were in measure neoessitated by reason
of the revision Of the Pennsylvania pilot.
age laws reducing the fee to . very low
| figure. The Delaware laws were assailed
at various times by pilots under
the direction OF Peter Wright &
Sons, but Captain Virden always
insisted upon every infrsotiop Of the law
going into court until all its provisions
were judiciRlly tested. Some Of the cSses
went TO the Supreme Court, but q
decision against Delaware's laws was
never given. Captain Virden took
much pride In the pilotage
laws Of this State, which were
his architecture and Delaware pilots
always regarded him rs the defender Of
their rights. His determination that the
laws Of this State governing pilots
should be respected was most
pronounced and made him . fail
but incorporating opponent to any one
who attempted to violate their provisions
Socially Captain Virden was very pop
ular and had large circle Of warn
friends and aequaintanoes. He leaves 9
considerable am unit OF property, Q
greater part OF which consists Of realty
at and in the vicinity OF Lewes. The re
maiuS were inferred at Lewes Tuesday.
