WATER WAITS.
Stray and Regular Matters Along tho

The Pittsburg Dispatch says: In a con-
versation with J. Alex. Frazier, pilot on
the steamer Pittsburg, in regard to the fast
runs of the Pittsburg, New England, Ana
wan and others, between st. Louis and
pittsburg, relates the Curier-JourRdl, Mr..
Frazier said: II was on the steamer Brun-
ette in 1874, when the New England made
her fast run from st. Louis TO Pittsburg. |
think it was in June, during the highest
water ever known at St. Louis. The
steamer Anawan, single-engine side
wheel boat, beat the New England's time
five miies-as the New Englands first
miles above Shawneetown. The Anawan
went to the mouth of the Wabash river,
which is five miles further up the river, in
the twenty-four hours run she made from
st. Louis. | have been pilot on the Pitts
burgh for two years, and think that if she
had the same kind of a diver that the
other two boats had she could set the pegs
fifty miles further up the river in a twenty
four hours run than either of them. The
Ohio river at that time was backed up to
the mouth of the Wabash further than
was eve- known in the history'ot the river
before or probably since" From what
Alex says, we are satisfied that il any of
the fast nags picks up the Pittsburgh for a
hearse they'll get left at the funeral

THE DUSTY PIKE.
A Scheme by which the Nuisance May
be Abated.

1t requires no extended account to call
to the minds of all drivers of this city and
vicinity, whether for business or for pleas
ure, the dusty condition of the National
road after long drought At times it be-
comes terror to those compelled to travel
upon it, while pleasure driving is entirely
stopped A gentleman in Chicago, former
ly resident of Wheeling, has just written
letter to citizen here in which he Sug-
gests very plausible and feasible remedy.
He says
One or two OF the old toll roads leading
into this city (Chicago) have their roads
spriukled regularly, same as on the streets
and boulevards, being paid for out OF the
receipts of tolls. | do not suppose the
Board of Public Works of West Virginia
would entertain proposition like that,
but the board might contribute their share,
say one.third, and the balance paid by sub
scriptions from the Park, Elm Grove Rail
way, Stamm, Seibert, Walters, cemeteries,
&c | believe for the sum of $500 after
the first expense of equipments) the Ma
tional road, from Stack yard to the
park could be sprinkled every day. 1t
would not only increase the travel on
both the National and Elm Grove roads,
but think of the comfort and pleasure it
would be to the public. drove out few
evenings ago with gentleman to South
Park via the Grand and DreXel bouleyards,
which is pronounced the finest driving road
in the world, and perhaps is so far as road
bed is concerned, but the old National road
through Pleasant Valley, sprinkled and the
dust laid, without the discomfort OF riding
in the rain, has advantages that money
cannot produce.
Three carts, think. would do the work,
They could get to the creek by the differ
ent lanes. and with the use OF syphons the
water could be put into the tanks with lit
tie labor. Let cart No. | take, say from the
park to Greenwood, using Clark's lane to
the creek; No. 3 from Greenwood to the top
of Edgiygton's hill, using either Bedillion
or Dunning's lane; No. 3 from Edging
tons hill to the stock yards. This distance
is the greatest of the three, but would
have the advantage Of the creek at Thomp-
sons.
believe the driving public would con-
tribute to fund, but let the parties men,
toned, who would be benefited by it,
guarantee a certain amount. Billy Hutch
inson, or some good fellow like him, will
take the contract. Work it I'D.

TATk'S DEATH.
Particulars OF the Drowning of Rich
ard Tate. at Allexheuy


In relation to the death of Richard Tate,
mentioned yesterday, the Pittsburgh Dis
patch says:
Residents in the vicinity of Jacks Run,
Allegheny, were somewhat surprised yes
terday when the search for the body OF the
unknown man who walked into the river
on Saturday evening, revealed two bodies
lnSteSd OF one, as was expected, The first
one found was that OF Mr. Charles BiIlharz
who, until recently, kept a saloon at lS9
Smithfeld street. The other was identi-
fed as man named Tate, a resident OF
Wheeling, West Virginia. Just which
one was the man to walk into the
river on Saturday last cannot be deter
mined. On Tates body was found a
gold watch, papers and other valuables.
He had been employed in tais city in Nc
Cully's glass works building cupolos, and
at the time OF his death was boarding on
Washington avenue. The body of Mr.
Billhartz was found in a deep pool at the
rivers edge. He was last seen at his sa-
loon, which was sold recently. on Saturday
evening about o'clock. His wife died
some time ago, since which time Mr.. Bill
hsrz has acted queerly, and his friends
think that il was grief that drove him to
the death, supposed to have been suicide.
For many years he kept a saloon on Penn
avenue, and at the time of his death was
near 20 years OF age. The coroner held in
quests on both sad cases. rendering Yerdicts

TRIED TO DIE.
A Strange Germans Attempt at
Suicide
By Lying Down in the Riyer-The Act That
sof Lunatie-Sayed by Bathers-
What is Known of the
Would be Suicide.

A very melancholy attempt at suicide
was made, last night, in the river at
Twenty-second street, but the unfortunate
man was rescued before death came. The
particulars are as follows:
About o'clock yesterday morning, a
German, very well dressed and about 80
years of age, was seen by Patrolman Wilcox
walking about in the neighborhood OF the
REGISTER office. His actions were very
singular and Wilcox called the reporters
attention to him. A short conversation
quickly convinced the reporter the man
was not sane, though evidently harmless.
He said his name was Frank Hoellsworth
and he was a member of q company OF
Tyrolean warblers, Just recently disbanded.
He had come from New Jersey and was out
of money, having pawned his watch in this
city. His probable destination was Clarks-
burg, and he had letters in his pocket from
mine boss named Lattstetter, of that place.
He wandered about the REGISTER build
ing for time and finally reporter for the
J0lksblaH took him to the city building,
where he spent the night After daylight,
yesterday morning, he wandered about the
CITY ana nothing luOIc was uooiu va hiui.
About IL o'clock last night party OF
young men bathing in the river at the foot
of Twenty-second street, saw man come
down the bank and walk into the river.
The. bright moonlight revealed the fact
that he had bis clothes on, and
his subsequent actions were suspic.
lously watched. Walking until the water
reached his waist, he deliberately laid down
and was submerged. With suspicious
aroused, the young bathers though it was
a case of suicide, and at once rushed to the
spot. Though not in season to prevent
him from absorbing no small quantity OF
water, they saved his life BY taking him
ashore He was quite speeches. and help
less,
A message was sent to the police and
officers Barum and Combs responded.
Hoellsworth was taken to the waiting-room
, of the lookup, and DR.. Wilson summoned.
He prescribed for the unfortunate and
made sure of his recovery, leay-
ing him sleeping quietly. though
not a word had he uttered. There
is no doubt he is not in his right
mind, though what led him to attempt the
destruction of his own life is not known.
1t may have been financial trouble, as he
was without a cent, though he had in his
pocket quite a number of financial memo
randa.
An effort will to-day be made to find his
friends

How Honesty is the Best Policy.

The Inauguration of the Monthly Grand
Drawings OF The Louisiana State Lottery
Company at the time of its inception with
its thus seemingly unnecessarily liberal
offer of prices, was a very bold undertak-
ing for those times. But, the Honest, In
telligent and Reliable Management has
never failed to perform to the moment, and
to the letter, all that it has promised, and
now reaps its reward for its fidelity, in
having deservedly the entire confidence of
the public from the St. Lawrence 10 the
Gulf of Mexico, and from the Atlantic TO
the Pacific. Generals G. T. Beauregard, Of
La, and Jubal A. Early, Of Va, have the
sole management of the drawings, and S.,
