One morning during last February q
steamboat inspector went abosd the
steamer Washington while sic was ct
her wharf 10 Norfolk and demanded Il
FIRE drill. Capt. F. NJ. Phillips told
the official he had come aboard at a
time when most of the members of the
crew, who live ia Norfolk, were at their
homes. Had be desired to have the fire
drill tested and had asked itshortly after
the steamer arrived it could have been
given In the most satisfactory manner,
or If he would wait until the afternoon
when all the crew would be aboard 1t
would be demonstrated in how short a
time every man would be at quarters and
water thrown. This, however, did not
satisfy the inspector, and he reported
Captain Phillips to the board. The Gaze
was examined and The captain exone-
rated. The latter is member OF the
American Association of Masters, Mates
and Pllots, and Mr. O. L. Warwick, ma
tional sec. etary of that organization, who
represented Captain Phillips at the ex-
animation of the charges, has written
him letter congratulating him upon the
outcome of the case. Regular fire drills
are held on the Norfolk boats, and Capt.
Phillips is regarded as one of the most
careful steamboat men on the river.

ANOTHER DISCHARGE.

EZRA MEEKER COMES BACK.
He and Prairie Schooner Ends Long
Journey.

He and Prairie Schooner Ends Long
Journey.
Ezra Meeker, the man who marked
the old Oregon trail from Puget sound
to the Missouri river valley, drove into
Seattle Saturday morning in his
prairie schooner drawn by his OK team,
Dave and Dandy, with which he cross
ed the continent. His arrival here for
mally ends his long journey.
Mr.. Meeker announced that despite
his IS years he never felt better in
his life. He started out to mark the
Oregon trail, which he had traversed
in 1852 when he came to the country
in an OK team. He was % months
travelling from Seattle to Washington.
He passed through the larger cities
in the east and when he reached New
York, the council passed an ordinance
allowing him the use of streets for
lecturing. One OK died on the way and
he bought another at the Omaha
stock yards. Dave, the other OK, made
the entire journey from the Pacific to
the Atlantic and back. His object was
to get an appropriation for marking
the trail as indicated by him, in which
effort he was successful.
