BEuAIE.-There was a rumor around
town yesterday morning that . party OF
roughs had been overheard in converse
ton the night before, in which they had
declared their intention Of setting some
fires during the night, and tina. two or
three extra watchmen had in consequence
been placed on guard. We made inquir-
les Of the Sheriff in regard to the matter,
and learned from him. that to his knowl-
edge, no extra wa1chmen had been placed
on duty, and that he thought there was
ysrs little foundation for the story afoat,
it probably having received its start from
few remarks some men had been heard
to make concerning coal oil, fire, etc.
All We have got to say 10, that if there
are any fre-inelined tends in town, they
had better keep little shady. Cor if they
ever scratch the match here they will
bum their own fingers.

day via the Valley Road between here

Ice at Dr.. Engllsh's ford, and although the
creek had broken up that night and was
running swiftly, with five feet OF water In
the channel, he insisted on having his
colored man, who was driving, cross
through the flood. He was warned by
some persons at the blacksmith shop not
TO attempt such performance, but being
under the influence Of liquor he sColfed al
the advice and told the driver to 90 ahead.
The latter was induced, however, by the
advice Of byslAnders, to get out Of the
sled and mount one Of the horses, which
he did, and then waded In. He had gone
only few steps when the sled floated

The Kanawhn BOnrd and the Appr0priA-
linn fDr That HlVer,


WASHINGTON, February 5, 1881.
Editors Intelgencer.
AS you see by the kilograms, the River
and Harbor bill failed to pass the House
yesterday 1t Is too heavy. There Is one
thing about the Kanawha river apppro.
priation that should be noticed in your
columns. Tho Government has already
appropriated 1000, 600 for that river, and
the Kanawha Board still maintains the
right to collect tolls on everything that
passes over It's waters between Charleston
and the Ohio. Tho report Of this Board
fer the thirteen months ending January l.,
1881, shows that they collected over $l5,.
900 lover $1,000 In tolls) and there was
only $40 used In removing obstruCtiOns
or for any other purpose In the river.
This money, with the exception Of this
$34O, was absorbed in paying commissions
and salaries TO directors, collectors, Score.
tary, &c. The Board Is out Of debt, and
by their last report has assets amounting
10 over $4,000. During the last year the
dradges have been In the employ OF
the Government on this same river, and
1t has paid the Board from $40 to $36 per
day each for the use Of them. This Is an
Outrage not only on the people OF the State
and elsewhere, who are compelled 10
use the river, but on the Govern.
ment az well. The State derives no
benefit whatever from this organization,
and no persons are benefited except the
half dozen men who constitute the Board.
The coal, Bslt and lumber men who do
business in the valley, as well as the Citi.
zens along the river, have petltloned our
Legislature 10 pass an act abolishing this
Board, requiring 1t 10 sell the dredgeS, &c,
pay the debts, II any, and hand the resi-.
due OF the proceeds into the State Treas.
ury for the benefit Of the School fund.
The government has expended over $780,.
900 below Charleston, and Is about to
commence building lock and dam five
miles below that place. The Board at
their last meeting passed resolution that
"ior the present" they would not collect
tolls. This Ia only blind 10 induce the
Legislature not to pass the bill. The Board
has 4 lobby In Wheeling, and the Charles
ton papers have not the independence to
speak out against this outrage. Should
the River and Harbor bill reach the
Senate this session, the Kanawha river
item will be opposed on that account, and
II Is very important that our State felin.
quish all rights to the river. W.

Eight witnesses were examined in the
Ruter trial yesterday, with no new de-
Neiopments. The interest in the case
still remains unabated, the Courtroom
being crowded with the same eager, rest
less crowd OF persons, whose sole occu-
patton seems TO be a pursuit OF animal
excitement, and whose otfense (1itn
t'sinells to heaven" and renders the
Courtroom almost uncomfortable. The
case Was not adjourned until 0 O'clock.
A suit was brought before Judge Bur
net yesterday regarding the ownership
OF u trick horse, "Biind T0m." The suit
was brought against W. Z. Eckle, Con-
stable, who levied on the horse some
dered by Justice OF the Peace in a suit
brought by W. L. Bishop v. 5. @. Stokes.
The horse had attained some celebrity,
1t was stated, i'll the equestrian perform
ance at the Great Eastern Circus as a
trick horse, and was worth, as the plain
tiff alleges, 500; the defendant, while
admitting it was valuable horse, con-
tended his value did not exceed 5000.
The question in the case was whether
the horse belonged to DeHaven or to
Stokes at the time the Constable made
his levy. The case is in the hands OF the
jury.

against the Day ton 81 Michigan railroad
company, to recover damages for being
put OFT railroad train. He states that
on the 23d OF August, 1872, he pnrchas ed
a through ticket from Toledo to Dayton,
giving him the right to stop of at any
point on the line, and 10 resume his jour.
ney until he reached Dayton; that OH the
day named he entered The train at Otta-
wa, desiring to go to Wapakonela; that
the conductor demanded that he should
surrender his ticket and accept check,
which he refused to do, unless he receiv.
ed a stop-over check, and that the con-
ductor, then calling to his assistance a
brakeman, forcibiy elected him from the
car, at o'clock in the morning, at Lima.
lie states that he suffered thereby great
inconvenience, and was put to consider
able. expense. He asks 5000 damages.
The defendant AYERS that the ticket held
by the plaintiff was a through ticket
from Toledo to Dayton upon which he
had no right to stop over, but asserted
that he was allowed to stop over once.
The case Is being argued.
