Regulation for steam Vessels.

The Revised Statutes of the United
States, under Title LII, Regulation OF
Steam Vessels, contain provisions which
do not appear to be familiar to some OIL
the owners and masters of steam vessels
in this customs districts, and are natural
" not known at all by the general pupilc.
Impressed by this fact, Collector Deer
ing has caused to be copied from the
above mentioned Title of the REVISED
Statutes of the United States the sub
joined sections, which plainly show the
limitations and restrictions to which all
steam vessels are subject, so far as regard
the carry of passengers, whether Tor hlre
or otherwise, and we doubt not they Will
be read with general interest.
1t is perhaps superfuous to add that
tho Revised Statutes, from which the
following sections were taken, lnclude
many other provisions relating 10 steam
vessels. with which all owners and
masters of such vessels should thoroughly
aoquaint themselves.
Section 1865 1t shall not be lawful to

passenger beyond the number allowed
Sec. 4466.--If any passenger steamer en-,
cages in excursions, the inspectors shall
issue to such steamer a special permit In
writing, for the occasion, in which. shall
be stated the additional number OF pas
senga7s that may be carried, and the

that shall be provided for the safety of

shall also, nItheir discretion, limit the
route and distance for such excursions.

serious blaze.
The fire started in the top story OF the
five story brick building %, 20 and Y

The alarm was rung in from box 53
at r. II, and on account of the proximity
of the rear of the building to the rear OF
the Park theatre, a second alarm was
rung in at lis.
The fire originated in the top story,
which was occupied by the Hub Engrav-

and Vim. Dempsey and Acheson & Co.,

The street floor was occupied by the
clothing firm of Fisk & Golf, who recent

MAINE MAN INJURED.
Terrible Accident to II. w. Fiske. Son of
DR.. A. Fiske of This City.

DR.. A. Fiske of this city, who lives at
No. 179 Fore street, is very
much afflicted by tragic news that he has
received of his son, Homer W. Fiske, aged
about 81 years. Fiske was born In
Favette. Me-, and lives at No. 1919 Sixth
street, Washington, Delaware. In COM
pany with several other workmen, MI.
Fiske, who is an erecting engineer in the
employ of the Providence Steam Engi-
neering company, was engaged in lifting
portion of one of the Greene engines
connected with the multipolar generator
which supplies the motive power for the
new electric system of propulsion being
introduced by the Metropolitan company
While standing on the axle of the
immense fly wheel, with his mind fixed
on the work, Mr.. FislSe was startled to
feel that the axle was revolving. In the
hope of saving himself he jumped to a
wooden beam nearby, but it gave way
with crash and the engineer was
precipitated to the bottom of the wheel
pit.
Before he could move he was dragged
beneath the revolving wheel, the space
between the same and the cement floor
ing being less than one foot. In less time
than it takes to tell it the unfortunate
man had suffered a compound fracture Of
the right leg, a lacerated wound on the
left hand, confusion of the back and
shoulders and an abrasion of the left leg.
A heavy iron casting which fell at the
same time as did Mr.. Fisek was smashed
The wheel, when it had been set in
motion by the shifting of q lever by
some person among thu many spectators
Watching the erection of the engine, was
quickly stopped, and half dozen of his
fellow workmen lifted the injured man
from his precarious position. The fact
that the man had been badly injured
quickly spread about the neighborhood,
and in a few moments a surgeon with
several members Of the ambulance corps
reached the scene from the hospital of the
Washington Barracks, which is but half
u block distant from the new power
house. Several other physicians were
also summoned. but it was decided to
send Mr.. Fiske to the Emergency
hospital
At the latter institution his injuries
were attended to, and the surgeons stated
that he was resting quietly and would
probably recover
He was sent from Providence to Wash
ington about two months ago
