Wireless Telegraphy to Be Installed on
River Tugs.

The Consolidation Coal Company. which
controls the output of soft coal from the
Cumberland mines and ships large guam
titles of the fuel from this city to Boston
and the north, has determined to fit it's tugs
and steamers with wireless Geographic out
fits. The big tug Savage will first be
supplied with the instruments, and an ex-
pert operator will make several trips on
the tug and will instruct it's officers in the
use of the instruments.
If this service is a success 1t will be
extended to the tugs Piedmont and Cum
berland, both well known in this port. and
the steamers c. F. Mayer and Frostberg
The installation of the wireless system on
the Consolidation company's vessels is be-
ing done as a means of insuring greater
safety for valuable property, as the tugs
will be in a position to communicate with
the chain Of wireless stations which is
being established north of the Chesapeake
and can ask for orders or call for assist
ance should it be needed by the tugs or
barges Of the fleet. The system will be
installed on the Savage at once.
