The largest British territorial acqusi-

any considerable increase of population

British commerce have closed about the

Two more suspensions, each of sixty
days duration, have been imposed on
boat officers by the local ins pectors.
Captain William H. Clark and Capt.
Chas. G. Thomas. The officers sus-
pended were Capt. Milton c. McLaugh-
lin, of the Steamer Valley GEN." and
Capt. W. W. Richardson, of the side
wheel steamer Zanetta' The suspen-
sions are the result of the collision OF
the two named steamers, which run
opposition in the Muskingum river
trade.
On the morning of May 10, the ga
META" was backing out of Duncan S
Falls Landing, o., just as the Valley
Gem" was descending the river at that
point. Each pilot blew for the right or
way, both violating the rules govern
ing such matters. The inspectors
heard the evidence, examining six wit
neSses, and after weighing the testi-
mony decided that both pilots were
equally TO blame for the collision.
A summary of the whole affair, as
set forth by the inspectors in the no.
tices of suspension is as follows:
"A summary of the whole is that
the pllOl, Adpl. MillOu y. NhIl<duE liiA
of the descending steamer Valley
Gen." violated rules l and 2, by blow
ing the first passing signal and con-
tending for the same side throughout
by blowing the same signal, thereby
contributing to the cause of the coils
ion, and that the pilot, Capt. w. w
Richardson, of the steamer "Zanetta,
violated rule by blowing cross signals
in answer to the signals blown by the
pilot of the steamer valley Gem;
also thereby contributing to the cause
of the collision"
These two make the fourth case OF
suspension in the last two months
where the local inspectors have laid
off boat officials for negligence or dis
obeying rules, and there is still one
more case for consideration, which will
be heard next week.
This sort of crusade on the part oil
the local inspectors against all negli-
gence among river boat officers while
on duty will tend to put an end to all
accidents and make river trav2 even
more safe.

RISE COMING
As Result of Recent Rains-May be
Substantial One-Other River News.

AS a Result of Recent Rains-May be a
Substantial One-Other River News.
The rise reported Sunday coming out
of the upper valleys will be larger than
was at first anticipated by rivermen.
At several stations in the upper val
leys the rainfall was very heavy, es-
pecially Saturday night and Sunday
morning. At Pittsburg it Is thought
the water will reach a foot stage or
perhaps a barge stage will result. AS
predicted in yesterdays Register the
water began to rise yesterday morning
and at midnight the marks on the
wharf showed feet 4 inches and ris-
ing. The bulk of the water will reach
this point some time tonight. The
rise will allow the larger packets,
which the low water drove to the
banks, to resume.
Capt. Henderson yesterday ordered
the Keystone State out of Cincinnati
last night on the strength OF the rise.
Every endeavor will be made to start
the Virginia out this morning from the
foot of Captina Island, where she laid
up, but it is probable that she will
not get away until this evening. The
Queen City is on the docks at Cincln-
natl. The Lorena will be up on her
regular day.
The locals were all in and out on
time yesterday. The Leroy had an es-
pecially large stock trip.
The boats out to-day will be the
Jewel for Matamoras at II a. m;
Cathryn for Parkersburg at l a. M; T.
M. Bayne for Steubenville at 230 p.
m: Leroy for Darlington and the Ruth
for Sistersville at $3.50 p. m.
At midnight the river was raising
fast. About feet of water is expected
here.
