A radical departure In pilot vessels
will be made shortly by the Philadelphia
Pilots when the entire Il set OF sailing
pilot vessels will be sold and their PLACES
substituted by two fue steam vessels, to
be built by the Cramps, each to cost
about $40. 000 There are at present
eight pilot boats Of tbs sailing scho lner
pattern, belonging to the states whose
jurisdiction extends over the waters OF
the Delaware. The aggregate cost Of
this feet was originally nearly 800, 600,
but It Is doubtful II they would bring
more than one. half that amount now.
Each ting will be built to accommodate
sixteen pilots One will be placed on

will cruise outside Of an imaginary line
drawn from Cape Henlopen to Cape May
In this way ths entire commerce of
Philadelphia can receive prompt ger

and then selling It for more than the

arrangement made with Mr. Bush. This
was denied by the accused parties.
although President RimEk resigned and
Christian Ploesser was elected Ia his
place.
Last Sunday evening while in
Turngemeinde Hall, Mr.. Rimski WAS
called a swindler by George Leyerer. He
reported the matter to President
Ploesser and asked that proper steps be-
taken to prevent q repetition OF the
insult. Nothing WAS done however, and
Mr.. Rimski brought suit against Mr.
Lsyerer, in Magistrate Kelleys court.
There Is considerable interest shown and
an exciting time is looked for l. c

well, they are simply out Of sight, and
the beauty of 1t all is that they know it.
There has long been Il rivslty between
certain Of these scribes as TO their ability
