The steamer Greenwood, the Pitts
burg and Charleston packet has been
aground at Duff since last Friday Capt.

attempted to dig the boat out Of the
sand. He secured the services of a

it is likely that the boat cannot be
f1oated until the river rises.

The j. c. woodward and Elizabeth
Come Toxether-Other PittsburE
River Briefs.
PITTSBURG, August Saturday
night at 5:45, the packets ]. C. Wood
ward and Elizabeth collided on the
lMonongahela river near Cards land
ing, near Elizabeth. Captain Jacobs,
of the j. G. Woodward, prevented a
panic among the 100 passengers on his
boat 1t is said that the accident is
the fault of the Elizabeth, the faster
boat. She was trying to overhaul the
Woodward. He attempted to bring his
boat up with the Woodward, but the re-
suit was serious.
The Elizabeth came up across the
head of the Woodward, striking the
Woodward about 40 feet forward of
her cookhouse, on the starboard side.
The Elizabeth sets higher in the water
and her guards tore off all the out
riggers on the Woodward, and then the
Elizabeth commenced her task of
blowing right through the head of the
Woodward. AS a result the Wood
wards guards were torn off and the Eli
zabeth was caught square on the head
of the Woodward, just aft of the form
er's wheelhouse, larboard side. This
lifted the Elizabeth about 4 feet out OF
the water.
If the Woodward had continued the
Elizabeth would have been sunk. Jacks
were required to lift the Elizabeth OFF
the head of the Woodward. The hull
of the Woodward was not damaged, but
other parts of the boat were injured
to the extent of several hundred dol
lars. The larboard wheel OF the Eliza
beth was damaged 1t is said the Eli
Zabeth blew no signals.

CHANCE FOR PoSTMAsTERs.
All They Have to Do is to Sell Stamps

Here is an opportunity for hustling
fourth class postmasters in Hawaii to
raise their offices to third class. The

Inducements to such as will rake in the

Velopes and paper wraps, besides the

to the postmasters:
You will sell the stamps at prescribed
rates, and at the end of each quarter
in rendering your accounts will be al
lowed the following compensation. on
the first, $4,000 of stamps cancelled on
mail matter actually mailed in your
post-oftice, leo per cent. On the next

80 per cent, and the balance at the rate
of 40 per cent until your total COM
pensation runs up to an amount not
exceeding s25000 per quarter. You will
be allowed all box rents collected by
you, which is also to be included with
your accounts, but as before stated to-
per quarter. If your compensation
should be s250.00 for four successive

per for the year should equal or exceed
100000. the office will be made a Pres
idential office with regular and fixed

NO PRESIDENT YET
FOR HEALTH BOARD
DR.. Wood and G.. w. Smith
Refuse-Salaried Man
Pr, bable.

The Board of Health is yet without a
president. 1t was expected that the
board would elect its President at YES
terday afternoons session but after
nearly an hours discussion in session
from which all outsiders were kept. the
Board came to no definite conclusion
as TO who should be ex-presidept
Woods successor.
Ihere was stumbling block at the
outset Although the matter has been
discussed informally among the board
members for several days, yet it was
not until the members met in session
yesterday that the difficulties were dis
covered.
Dr Wood and George w. Smith were
Doth requested to serve but thew both
nrmly declined. DR.. Wood said later to
an Advertiser reporter: "No. we did
not elect president No one on the
Board wanted to serve as the duties
are TOO exacting and require nearly all
ones time. | would not serve again for
$4,000 year, but 1 am willing to be
a member of the Board. We tried
to induce George w. Smith to accent
but he too was unwilling, on account of
his business interests.
What we want is an outsider who
can use every hour of his time in look
ing after the duties of the Health Board
1t would be salaried position. There
was some difference of opinion as to
whether there was any money available
Tor such purpose. Personally 7 be-
lieve we would be acting within the
law to choose an outsider for president
ana give him a salary too"
1T is understood that the name of DIR
Garvin was prominently mentioned in
connection with the title. The question
arose entirely on whether or not the
Board had the power to go outside it
self as a body and place at its head a
man who was not connected directly
with the Board. Mr.. George w. Smith
states that Governor Dole is of the
opinion that the Board can follow this
course, and as to the salary, that it
could be arranged in some manner or
other. In substance he believes the
Board has perfect right to place a
saiaried man at the head of its affairs.
