ARMY TUG CUSHING FLoATED.
Stranded in Narrow Channel Off
Fort Hunt Pier.

The army quartermasters department
tug Lieut.. AlonZo Gushing in going into
the new pier at Fort Hunt WEDNESDAY
afternoon ran ashore the side of the
dredged channel into the pier anr stuck
hard and fast in the mud.
The powerful engines of the big tow
boat were unable to work her off the
bank. She remained there for about two
hours, until the tug Camilla of the Taylor
feet came along and, getting a line to the
stranded tug, was able to pull the Cush-
ing into deep water.
The Cushing was not at all injured by
running upon the mud bank. Immediate
ly after being f1oated she came to this
city on her regular trip.
When the new wharf at Fort Hunt was
built about a year ago it was not brought
out to the channel bank, but a basin was
dug in front of the pier. A channel was
dredged through the flats from the deep
water of the river channel into the basin
Steamboat men have refused to attempt
to take their steamers into the new wharf,
as the channel is unmarked.
They have been predicting that vessels
attempting to go to the new pier would
certainly get ashore on the bank of the
narrow channel. The Gushing was the
first One to meet with the misfortune.

Congress within the last few days providing
in. various ways for the insurance of national
bank deposits. Presumably the authors OF
these measures think there exists Il public de-
mand for such guarantee. If so. why has 1t
never been in evidence before? Why have de-
positors been perfectly content to put their
money IN banks. trusting TO their own judS-
ment to select established institutions CT good
reputation under the control of safe and con
Servatfve bankers? 1t is always assumed. and
with justice. too, that where there is real
demand private enterprise Is read TO satisfy
il. Why has no insurance company entered into
the field of guaranteeing bank deposits? On
practically everything in which the risk is
sufficiently large for the public to desire insur-
ance against it policy may be obtained. The
fact is that the chance of ultimate loss through
bank failure is negligible. and dep0stors re-
