THE RIVER
is about loseod for the winter season and steam
boats and barges are hunting safe winter quar
ters. There is one feature of rivcr commlerm,
however, that Is full of interest and it is but lit
tie understood by the general public. I refer to
the light-house service which has now oeen re
duoed to a practical system and is wor king very
satisfactorily. Commander t. It. Wallace of
the United States Navy. with headt carters at St.
Louis, has charge of
THE LIORT-HOUME SERVICE
on the Mississippi and Missouri rivers, and
y with the view of giving the readers of the DEM
OCRAT reliable information on nthe subject. of this
Important ant valuable onterprise, your corro
spondent to-day Interviewed the commander.
In September, 174, Congrss passed(1 a hill aD
' )ropriating $tto.aen for the purpose of estab
iiahing a light-house service on tilh Westtu.
rivers. Under this bill the rivers wero;Aiidedl
into districts. and the Mississitppi :ivfr from St
Paul to New Orleans, and thtillssouri river
from Sioux City to its mouti. 'comprise the Fif
teenth District, over whjah C(om'r Wallacu was
assigned commtanl fhe bill was general in its
rovisions an.j l t all the details to the oflieer
Charm "gc'.pt. Wallace establishoed Ihead
Squartev at Mt. Louis, and was provided with
the Alice, a small but well fitted steamer, to e,
used in placing the lights. Capt. Wallaeo pro
Vidoed his steamer with a crew. and under the
oommnand of Capt. M. H. Craplstr. and with two
able and experienucd pilots on board, she
s.teamed out from St. Louis, htealod down river.
an the fall of 1874 the first light was eoreted at
Perry's Tow Head, thirty milo ht blow Mt. Louis.
Since that time
",R' BEACON [,I(IITH
have been established as follows:
Lights.
om St. Paul to St. Louis. ..- .137
om St. Louis to Cairo . .. 4
om Cairo to Mem phis .s. . -
torn Vicksburg to New Orleans 35
On theMissourl river, from IKanswri City to
St. Louis ................. . . ..
Total number of lights NoV. 1, 5177 . 33;
The first difficulty Capt. Wallace met with
was in finding a lantern that possessed suffici
ent illuminating power, anti could not be ex
tinguished by wind and rain. He first tried
the ordinary hand lantern, and after ex
perimenting for some! time, tadopted a lantern
h-made on the tuoular principle, with a globe six
inches in diameter, and no chimnroy. Ie uses
` oal oil and a flat wick. The round wick wouldi,
be thinks, do better, but it cannot be raised and
wered for trimming as easily as the ilat wick.
He could not adopt the round wick witho t
using a lamp made on the prlnciple of the Uni
tersity student lamp.a nd they would hi too ox
penslve. No reflectors are used, as t Ie lights
areoften placed in bends where the lea'on
must be seen from both sides.
In erecting the lights Uapt. Wal!ace used all
the economy possible. His first trip was down
aiver and guided by the pilots with hin, who
had had years of experience in steamboating
on the river. Wherever those pilots woubl
point out a dangerous place in the river, a
oint where snags or obstructions of any kind
eisted or where boats must crOss from one
ide to the other to find a safe channel. the
lice Would land. The most eligible sito being
elected. a stout sycamore or cottonwood tree
Would be out down, taken on board and dressed
ntoa pole abou, ten feet high with cross-pieces
ltmly set in. so that a man could easily reach
the top when the post was planted in the
S;gound. The post would then be set on the
spot, giving the best view of the river, and on
pt a lantern would then be placed securely.
gh lantern is provided with a qualltity of
,oil cans. wicks, etc.. and, with a loo, and
y by which it can be made secure from
' terference by outside parties. Upon landing
at a point the boat would whistle repeatedly so
o Iattract persons living in the vicinity. When
Sefew inhabitants of the locality would assem
'. Ileol the river bank. Capt. Wallace would so
from among the number the man he
oemed most competent to take charge of the
ason light and keep it in order. Geonerally
the man living nearest to the light is employ .d
to taetocare of it, and these keepers are paid
from $10 to $20 per month the pay being gov
erned by the die ante the keeper lives Irow the
lights It is his duty each morning to take down
the lantern, fill and trim it, and early in the
evening return it lighted to) the po-t. Forthe
first: few months Capt. Wallace was considora
t; bly annoyed by the keepers
NEOLECTINO THE LI(IITS.
They realized that the captain had no
means of detecting them in their negloet
of duty, and consequently many of the
lights were not kept burning half the
time. To overcome this diflloulty Capt.
SWallace reqnuested captains and pilots of
'steamers plying in the river to notify him whar
over and whenever they observed a light not
burning. This plan worked adnlirably. The
river men took a lively interest in the matter.
and Capt. Wallace was promptly informed of
every case of neglec7. Ho would immediately
write to the delinquent, intorming him that his
light was not burning on such a night, and that
i a repetition of the offense would cost him his
lace. By this means all the keepers have been
rought to a proper discharge of their duty.
They know that a single instance of neglect
will be noted by some passing steamer and re
Dorted.
Capth Wallace, with his steamer Alice known
as the "llght-tender" nlakes three trips per
ear between St. Louis and Now Orleans, and
wo annual trips on the Missouri and upper
S ississppi rivers. On each of these trips he
. pays off his keepers with chocks on Uncle Sam's
treasury, and he alo establishes additional
light, wherever they are deeoomed necessary. He
returned from atrip down the river last Sun
day. and on his way up erected four lights be
' tween here and Memphis. The lights are. ais a
rule, put up to aid "down stream crossings" or
steamers going down. as they are not so easily
controlled as when moving up river. But
wherever pra ticable a site is chosen that will
benefit the steamors going both ways.
THE LOCATIONS OF LAMPS
S are constantly being changed as oxperience de
velops the advantage of some other spot over
that first chosen. Capt. Wallace gives his whole
time and attention to the work. and takes a
great deal of pride and interest in it. By close
and dilllgent study of the needs of the river
commerce in this respo t, he has brought the
lighthouse service to its present state of af
v fleleney, and he is constantly making improve
ments. He may be claimed as an old citihzn of
it. Louis. and his wife is the daughter of B. L.
Patterson. one of the oltest and most highly
aspected r.ideonts of St. Louis. Capt. Wallace
has the unbounded confidence of the naval au
thorities, who leave the management of the
satem entirely to him.

SUPERIOR CRIMINAL COURT.
THE CARt CARE.
In the case of State vs. Mortimer Carr
Judge Whitaker Monday decided the rule
for a new trial on the plea autrqfois acqui.
It will be remembered that Carr was tried
during the middle of November for passing as
genuine a forged hi 1 of lading for 250 bales of
ctt gau.on Mr. Hellman, of Seligman & Hellman,
bankers. The evidence developed the fact that
at the same time he pass d this bill of lading he
uttered and passed also another bill at the same
time and during the same delivery for 5010 bales.
On the first case Carr was acquitted by the jury,
and when the second case was fixed for trial the
defense filed a plea that inasmuch as the passing
of both bills was done in the same moment or
time, and it was all one Ir nseaction, the acquittal
in the first case freed hint from jeopardy in the
second. The question of fact as to whether the
disposal of the two bills of lading was one act
and fact was referred to a jury, and they found
that they were two 'ifferent transactions. Phe
defense then moved for a new trial on this ver
diot, and this question Judge Whitaker decided
Tuesday morning.
After reviewing the above facts Judge Whita
ker read from a derision of our Supreme Court,
where two articles had been taken at one time,
and the prisoner indlcted in separate indictments
for tak.ng each. The court held that but one in
dictment would lie, the judge then said that
the witness, Hellman, on tie, stand had testified
that both bills of lading had been handed to
him in the same moment of time, and together,
therefore, under the rulings of the Supreme
Court it was not two different offenses, but one.
The verdict of the jury, he said, was, therefore,
manifestly wrong. and must be set aside. A new
trial on the plea aulr'fois acquit was ordered.
SENTENCED.
Thos. Walker, convicted of grand larceny, six
months in the Parish Prison.
ACQUirTED.
State vs. Sergeant Rowly, of the Crescent City
police force, on the charge of false imprisonment
of one Killilea, who was found about 2:30 o'clock
on Sunday morning, November 8, on Burgundy
street. After the case was submitted, the jury
brought in a verdict of not guilty.
Thos. Killelea, the prosecuting witness in the
case against "t rgt. R. B. Rowley, was then tried
on a charge of aesault and battery on a member
of the Crescent City Pollce force. After the evi
dence had been submitted, the jury brought in a
verdict of guilty, and the accused was sentenced
to twenty days in the Parish Prison.
In the case of the t3rate vs. Louis Forster,
charged wi;a stabbing, the trial continued un
til a late hour.
IHAIIEAS COuRPUS.
Chas. H. Luznbnrg. counsel for Mary Platz
meyer, Tuesday m- rning asked for a habeas cor
pus to release tier from the Parish Prison, beang
neow confined under a commitment of the First

bitnal drunkard. The rule was made returnable
for Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock.
On application for writs of habeas corpus on
behalf of J. W. Stokes, Thos. Beneteau and B.
Jollie, arrested as dangerous and suspicious
characters, came up late yesterday afternoon be
fore Judge Whitaker, Lionel Adams, Esq., rep
resenting the relators. The judge on one of the
grounds in the petition released the prisoners,
The ground was that the mittimus issued by
Judge Miltenberger did not show that the charge
was mede on the oath or affirmation of any party.
