STEAMER GUIDE HATTERAS NOTES ; WAS LIBELED Action Brough Against the LeRoy Steam- : boat Co. GUIDE REPOSSESSED PUBLIC-- SCHOOL BEGINS. MRS. -STRYON VERY SICK IN BALTI MORE. MANY INTERESTING VIS ;1TORS TO MAKE LIFE GAY DOWN BY THE SEA. u Steamboat Company, was lib euecT last Monday. The papers in tie case serv ed on" Mr. J. H. LeRoy by Deputy Marshal Clem Newberry. This action was the joutcome .of a :suit brought by Capt; H. M. Balance, who was employed by the LeRoy Steamboat Co., as second officer dttr. ing the fall and early winter About two months after leaving the -employ of this company, Capt. Bal lance charges -that the steamer Guide on two or three occasions cariedi more lassengers than she was- allowed. These alleged offenses- occurred while Mr. Balance, was In the employ of the company. Under the law the Tarty whoreJJorts offenses of this kind is entitled to one-half of the fine, t is understood that the action of Caut. Ballance is prompted by gain ana ftratTie.is sueing for $2,700, which be claims is one-half. In his suit hp is said to be supported by an engineer by the name of-Bateman, who was also in the employpf the Steamboat Company a also"by;CapC fcHar wy, of Norfolk -who ran an opposition line. " - ' Under these dreuanstances the suit of Capt. Ballance appears to be of an unsavory kind, and as such should be frowned upon. Certainly the owners of any Steam "boat line have to depend on the offi ers of the boats to conform to - the la?r and it certainly is in bad form for officers to violate the law and then sup tfce company for -violations which tb--- h?rriselves committed. We believe in protecting the trav. ol!:n:- r-ibiic, but we like to see fair play. 1! O.pt. Ballance had wanted to do the rett thins; he should have protested when the alleged violation? were committed or reported them im mediately. Then the public would Tiave held up his nands, but in thisj case as we understand It, It appears to be spite work and for the purpose of putting some easy dollars in his pocket. Hattera-s, N.
