There was a big hOwdy-do 10 the
TutcIIi1cBcCr yesterday morning about
the keystone State and Tom DodSworth
coliding in the fog at Witten's Land
Ing. There was practically no truth in
the report at all. In passing down the
keystone accidentally rubbed against
the barges IN tow by the Dodsworth and
Knocked Oft few spIinters. The
HltClIigCRcCr said one OF the DJdswOrth's
cylinder shafts had been broken, but
she had gone on up the river. This
was another miSstatement. II the shaft
had been broken she could DOT run at
all, as there would be nothing to sup
port the wheel. To addition 10 this the
article said Wittens was about two
miles below Baresvile, when In reality
ia is nearer twelve miles. Wittens is in
sight OF SisterSviile. The fact Of the
matter Is. the article was a genuine
fake. The officials Of the Keystone
State and of the Pittsburg aud Cincin-
natl packet line are very indignant
over the matter, aud say just such
sensational misrepresentation Of river
matters is very detrimental TO the in
tprestS of river men and often does a
great deal of harm. People as a RUE
are very appreheusive of accidents
while on q boat and such exaggerated
reports do not tend TO make them feel
safe on the river.
