GENERAL NEWS GATHERED
ALONG THE RIVER FRONT

The boating season on the Potomac
will open within the next week or two,
when a large proportion of the pleasure
craft owned in this city will go into
commission and will be used by their
owners for trips on the river.
At all le boatyards here and at Alex
andria and at the headquarters of the
boat clubs the owners of pleasure craft
are busily engaged in overhauling en-
preparatory to placing them in the
water. BY Sunday large fleet will be
in service IF the weather holds good
during March the last Sundays Of the
month will find the river filled with
pleasure craft Of all sizes.
1t is estimated there are now over
800 launches and auxiliary power craft
owned in this city. This number is in
creasing each season.
few years ago the number Of pleas
ure craft on the Potomac was less than
twenty-five. Now power engines are so
cheap and effective that boats Of all
sizes and descriptions are equipped with
them. The use OF power In vessels used
for freighting on the Potomac and other
tributaries of the bay is increasing
daily.
The big four-masted schooner Independ-
ent, on her way to Alexandria from
aboard, was due at Alexandria early this
week. The vessel is supposed to have
sailed from her coaling port in Maine
February 20, and has now been seventeen
days out.
Under ordinary conditions the run from
the Maine coast to the capes of the Ches-
apcake is made in from ten days to two
weeks, so the Independent Is now several
days overdue.
No alarm for her safety Is felt. 1t is
thought she has met with adverse winds
that have carried her out of her course.
and time will be required for her 10 work

The Independent has on numerous other

time. The schooner Gen. +. s. Greedy
and the barges which are to bring ice to
this city have not yet sailed from their
loading points.
The warm air and the cold water OF the
river in combination were responsible for
the heavy fog which covered the river In
the vicinity of this city for several hours
last night. and which kept the navigators
of the few steamboats, out in it busy
blowing fog whistles and anxious until
they had brought their boats into port
and had them tied up at their docks In

DISCUSSION On
MEAT INSPECTOR
City Board of Health Met
But Took No Action
in Matter.

The special meeting of the city
beard OF health, which was held last
night, adjourned without deciding the
question whether II. Fillingim, who
was named as meat inspector by City
Health Officer Bruce, was the proper
TiaT to fill that position.
The question before the board was
whether Fillingim is the proper per
sen for the position because he had
been convicted and served sentence
for violating an injunction issued by
Judge Sheppard of the United States
court during the late strike in this
city on the electric cars.
The board was also unable 20 pass
upon the guilt or innocence of Film
GIN in connection with the charge
of arson which is now pending against
him in the criminal court.
DR.. Bruce filed a report with the
board last Monday night, in which he
stated ne had named Fillingim as
meat inspector, but that portion OF
the report was made the basis of the
special meeting last night, when it
was decided to reconsider that part of
the report.
A motion by Mr.. Rocheblave to lay
the report on the table until next
Wednesday at p. m. prevailed.
On motion of Mr.. Oliver, the clerk
was instructed to write a letter to
each member of the board urging
him to be present at the special meet
Ing next Wednesday and also TO eX-
plain in detail the circumstances as
they arose last night.
DR.. Bruce said that he had been
informed on good authority that the
Pensacola Electric company was anX-
iCuS to withdraw the case against the
meE now under charges If arson on
account of the actions of certain
witness in the case
Mayor Goodman and Mr.. Roche
biave stated that Ffllingim should not
hold the position until he was proven
gIIiltiess of the Charge against him.

tried and he afterwards proves him
self guiltless. we have done him an
Injustice" said Mt. Oliver. IF he is
proven guilty. we do the citizens an
injustice by retaining him"
