AS GOOD AS NEW.
The Pilot Boy Made Over, Even to the
Name.


Name.
The steamer Pilot Boy, owned by the
Washington Steamboat Company, has been
rebuilt and rechristened the Belle Haven.
She is to resume her position on the ferry
route, in conjunction with the Columbia, On
Thursday. The work of rebuilding was
done by the Woodall Company of BaltI-
more. The Belle Haven is substantially
a new boat, all that remains of the cid
one being the skeleton, and even some OF
this has been renewed Her hull has been
changed to a composite one the iron hav-
ing been smoothed up. several new plates
inserted, and the whole cased in heavy
oak. Five thousand bolts were used in
this work, and forty new beams have been
placed under her guards. The work has
resulted in the widening of the hull six
inches. and lengthening it four feet Much
of the joiner work has been made over, and
the craft has been refurnished. The en-
gines and boilers were overhauled by the
Campbell-Zell Company of Baltimore. She
received new wheels. and the engine $
keelson was rebuilt. The renewal was con-
Quoted under the personal supervision OF
Mr. c. W. Ridley of the home company.
She has been renamed Belle Haven after
the ancient name of the city of Alexandra.
The Pilot Boy was one of the old-time and
most famous steamers of this river. She
has been on every route OF the Potomac
and in every line of river trade. She served
long term as an excursion steamer be-
tween Washington and various riverside
resorts. and has been employed in the
ferry business for two seasons. In Ter
palmy days she was on the lower Potomac
route with the Georgianna. She is ex-
pected to reach Washington late Wedaes-
day night or early Thursday morning.
Capt. Marmaduke will command her, and
Engineer Gimond will manipulate the levers
and throttles.

DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.
A Protest.

A number Of property owners on Florida
avenue northwest have combined in a peti-
ton to the Commissioners against the mas
sage of House bill 5577, to incorporate the
Boundary and National Park Elevated
Railway Company. and also the bill incor-
porating the Washington, Burnt Mills and
Sandy Spring Railway Company The peti-
ton sets forth:
I'VE urge several potent objections to the
said bills, among which may be named the
total absence of any need for such roads:
the great depreciation of property values
and detraction from the beauty of each
and every street or thoroughfare along
which said roads are to run; and we also
object to the chartering of any further
road to run along Florida avenue between
1th and North Capitol streets north. in
view of the fact that said street is already
occupied by surface road, ie, the Rock
Creek electric railroad. which at present,
though extending eastward along said street
only as far as 18th street. possesses the right
to extend its line along said Florida avenue
as far North Capitol street, which it
will no doubt do in the near future.
Plank Walks.
The Commissioners have notified the Rock
Creek Railroad Company that it must lay
plank walks between its tracks at the cross
irgs Of Grant, Chapel and Pierce's Mill
roads.
Inspecting Lumber.
The Commissioners today transmitted to
Congress a draft of a bill authorizing them
to make and enforce regulations relative to
the inspection and measurement Of lumber.
The bill authorizes the Commissioners to
make and enforce regulations which shall
apply to the inspection and measurement
of lumber brought into the District to be
sold, and also to appoint as many inspectors
as they shall deem necessary, with power to
define their duties and fix their compensa-
ton. In a letter accompanying the bill the
tnnirN
asking for the enactment of this bill is that
under the present law on the subject the
lumber sellers can employ any person they
want to inspect and measure their lumber,
and the inspection of such an officer may
be entirely in their interest. The law on
the subject is very incomplete.

THE CORNELL BANQUET TRAGEDY.
1t is Being Investigated by a Grand
Jury.

Judge Forbes made his charge to the
grand jury at Ithaca N Y, yesterday
After outlining their general duties, he re-
ferred to the recent Cornell University
freshman banquet tragedy. He said he
deeply regretted that he had to make spec
ial mention of the unfortunate occurrence
in his charge. The university ought not be
held responsible for the crime, but Cor
nell and other universities and colleges
ought to make strict rules for the punish
ment of haZing and similar breaches of the
peace. If such rules were instituted and
enforced in every institute rowdyism
would be abolished. The judge further
said he did not believe that those who
caused the chlorine to be diffused about the
hall deliberately premeditated taking hu-
man life and that If the jury founi such
to be the case, they could not indict any
one for murder.
District Attorney Jennings said last even
ing that he would probably bring up the
banquet case tomorrow morning. He is OF
the opinion that someone will be indicted
as result of the jurys elaboration.
