ON THE sTERRAGE DECK.

~ would abandon the use Of
floats and in their place provide
buoys, Of circular shape and about
two feet in diameter, with ample
room in the middle to admit the
body. They can be adjusted in an
instant under the arms, as easy as a
horse collar, and will keep a man
ahoat for hours. The floats now
required by law for use of deck pas
sengers are stout boards ten inches
wide, about four feet long and two
inches thick. They are unwieldy
and dangerous, because if you
throw one to a drowning man, you
dare not throw it near enough to be
Of use to him, for fear of striking
him on the head and killing him, or
rendering him unconscious. Cases
have been known where floats have
been cast too near with fatal results.
The Kate Adams had sixty nine Of
those floats, yet l doubt il any were
used She also had 1872 cork life
preservers. am convinced that
With life-rafts many of those crowned
could have been saved. Neither of
the life-boats were lowered. There
was neither time nor force enough
to do it. am satisfied every prac-
tical steamboatman will unite with
me in recommending the substitu-
Of the raft for the life boat.

Measures Of safety.
Memphis AppeaI.

to those which destroyed the Kate
Adams and the John H. Hanna, and
the fearful loss OF life which such fires
entail. In order to secure the opin-
ION of an acknowledged expert in
steamboat construction, an Appeal
reporter yesterday interviewed Capt.
James H Rees. President of the
Arkansas River Packet Company,
and q member of the firm of James
H Rees & Sons, Of Pittsburg, who
have during their business career
built as many as 400 steamboats,.
The Inflated Adams was built by
them and they will probably never
turn out another such a beauty
Capt. Rees said: "I'here is one
direction in Whit h the construction
of cotton carrying steamboats, might
be improved. Instead of having the
floor under and in the immediate
neighbOrhood of the boiler built of
wood it would be better to have it
constructed Of iron. Then under
meath the battery Of boilers and ex-
tending on all sides Of it to a height
of about two feet l would construct
an iron basin in order to prevent any
possible e5cape of ashes, cinders and
sparks from the furnaces. Above
that would build frame work of
corrugated iron on all four sides Of
the boilers to a sufficient height to
prevent any danger from that direc
ton. So much for construction. As
to life saving should recommend, IL
it we're possible, the organization,
and maintenance Of an efficient fire
corps, composed Of trained deck
hands instructed as to how to pro-
coed in case of a fire, and what is
important, to act in concert, every
man at his given post / admit that
it would be exceedingly difficult, il
not impossible, to carry this plan
into successful operation because of
the unreliability Of colored labor,
and the tendedcy of deck hands to
quit work as soon as they have accu-
mulated $40, and then lay off for a
week. But perhaps it might he
done. / should also recommend the
disuse of life-boats and the substitu-
ton in their stead of Iife-rafts.
Steamboatmen are practically unan-
imous in the opinion that in case OF
fire, where haste is the prime desid-
eratum, the life-boat is next to USE
less. 1t takes from four to six men
to lower them, and it is impossible to
get that many men to act intell-
gently together in cases similar to
the Adams fire, where the crew are
frantic with fear, and utterly beyond
control.
"The life-raft can easily be ham
died by two men, and dropped into
the river just where you want it.
1t is better adapted to life-saving
purposes than boat, because you
can't overturn it, and twenty or
more people can cling to it. or get
on top of it. 1t Is constructed of
two cylindrical shaped side pieces.
each thirteen inces in diameter and
eight feet long, and joined together
at a distance of four and half feet
by intersecting pieces of stout wood.
The cylindrical side pieces are filled
with cork, covered with canvass and
absolutely unsuitable. My idea
would be to substitute two like RATS
for each life-boat, thus offering safe
and easy vehicles Of escape for 100 to
l2O persons in the cabin, by life
RATS alone, in addition to the life
preservers, provided in every state
room.

John johnson. OF Moline, Ends a Life
or DissipatiOn In a DIabolicaI MAN.

John Johnson, a single man of Moline,
better known as "Gunnison." was found
this morning In a shed back of Frank
Schroeder's ssloon-dead Across his
throat was deep Gaping cash. from
which the blood had flown copiously,
while tightly clutched in the right hand
was an ordinary pocket ''jsck" with
blood spattered blade. Thus closed one
of the most disgusting careers of dissipa-
tion in the three cities. johnson was
evidently too sick of himself and his habits
OF endure life longer, and he perhaps did
the most sensible thing he could. For
years he had done chores about saloons
and taken the leavings as his conpensa-
ton. He had not drawn a sober breath for
five years-so those who knew him .clai m
He had occasionally worked for Deere &
Co, and also for Gilpin Moore, but he
soon drifted back to his favorite haunts.
He was forty,one years of age and his
only surviving relative is his aged moths
er, who lives in Stewsrtville.
Coroner Hawes held an inquest this
morning and a verdict of death by his
own hand was returned.

The O'MalIeys Need the Elixir

Friday afternoon Mrs. O'Mslley, who
resides In East Davenport, was brought
before the commissioners of insanity, her
husband filing the information. The
woman was drunk at the time and una>
BILE to testify in her own behalf; so was
O'Malley himself. The commissioners
decided that the woman was not insane
only drunk-and ordered her taken TO
jail. O'Malley afterwards went to Sheriff
Leonard and implored him to release her
and he did so. She went home with her
husband and both of them got drunk
Mrs. O'Mailey beastly drunk. Yes
terday OMailey appeared before one
of the members of the commits
SION and informed him that some
thing should be done with his wife as she
was lying at home in a worse state of in
toxicstion than at any time previous
One of her arms was fesrfully bruised and
he feared she would die soon if not taken
care of, He declared that he did not be-
lieve his wife is inssne-did not, I'd fact,
when he filed the information. The com
missioner stated to O'Mslley that he be-
lieved that if they had done their duty,
they would have sent both OMalley and
his wife to the insane asylum. Mrs.
O'Malley was again arrested and taken to
Jail to sober up Davenport Democrat

The manager of the Council Bluffs

as soon as they arrive the ushers will be

While out in South Rock Island
day. the writer heard two gentlemen con.
versing on the natural advantages and
beauty of scenery thereabouts. The
larger one of the two said if the water
power going to waste at Milan was put
to use. there would be power enough to
run thousand turbing water wheels,
which would propel machinery that would
require 5000 operatives, and If the site
and natural advantages could be laid
down in trite Rhode leland or Massachu-
sets. it would be used-it's as cheap as
natural gas. The ARGUS hopes that they
will noise around what they say.
