This afternoon at 2 o'clock, Porter
Grigsby, eolored man, will have hear
ing before United States Commissioner
Forbes, charged under Section SSH of the
Revised Statutes, with seeking to secure
for another an opportunity to vote fraud
ulently. Grigsby was arrested by Officers
Desmond and Dunlap, near the upper
end of North Wheeling, yesterday morn
ing, and WAS taken before the Commission
er, who committed him to Jail for hear
ing rs above.
In the afternoon Officer Desmond also
arrested Alex. Gardener on the same
charge, and being arraigned before the
Commissioners, about halt past three
O'Clock. he was likewise held under bond
for hearing tomorrow afternoon. These
arrests make four which have been made
by the Federal authorities for alleg-
cd illegal and fraudulent prac-
tees at the Market House
poll. and the authorities seem very conf
dent that the cases against them are
strong, rs the evidence is direct and TO the
point. 1t is alleged against Gardener and
Grigsby that they were instrumental in
securing the casting of several fraudulent
votes, and in inducing and urging colOred
men to 20 to the polls whom they knew to
be non-rssidents of the district or minors,
and the testimoney at the hearings to-day
and tomorrow is expected to throw flood
of light upon the conduct of the late cleo
ton AT this particular poll.

Doings of Boats and Boatmen along the

Doings of Boats and Boatmen along the
Ohio.
A correspondent writes to the REGISTER
asking for information concerning the first
boat run on Western waters. A gentleman
we'll known in river matters gives the fol-
lowing information:
The first Western boat was the New
Orleans, a craft of four hundred tons bur
den, which was built at Pittsburg in 1911.
The origin of this boat and the history OF
the first voyage is given, by Latrobe, from
which it will be seen that she narrowly es-
aped being overwhelmed in q great earth
quake that signalized the latter part ofthat
year in the annals of the West.
The complete success attending the ex-
pertinent in steamboat navigation made
on the Hudson during the years from 1907
to 1909 turned the attention of the princi-
pal projectors to the idea of its application
on the Western waters, and in the month
of April, 1909, Mr.. Roosevelt, of New
York, pursuant to an agreement with
Chancellor Livingston and Mr.. Fulton,
visited the Western rivers with the pur-
pose of forming an opinion whether they
admitted of steam navigation or not.
At this time two boats-the North Riv-
er and the Claremont-were running on
the Hudson. Mr.. Roosevelt surveyed the
rivers from Pittsburg to New Orleans, and,
rs his report was favorable, it was decided
to build boat at the former town. This
was done under the direction of MIR. Roose-
welt, and in October, 1911, the first steam
boat was launched npon the waters OF the
Ohio. This boat was called the New Or
leans" and was intended to ply between
Natchez and New Orleans. Some time i'll
October she left Pittsburgh on her expert
mental voyage. On this occasion no
freight or passengers were taken on board,
the object being merely to take the. boat
to her station.

SUDDEN DEATH.
MIR. j. r. Bell, of West Alexander, Pa,

Stricken with Paralysis.
Monday afternoon Mr.. J. K. Bell. 4
prominent citizen Of West Alexander, well
known here, while transacting some bust
ness in the office of ID. NJ. DOnehoO, Esq,
at Washington, Pa, WAS seized with an at
tack of paralysis in his left side. His fam
lily was telegraphed fox but he did not
recognize any Of them, remaining in an
unconscious condition until , o'clock
Yesterday morning, when he died.
The deceased was 81 years of age, and
was born near West Alexander, and with
the exception of few years that he lived
in Cameron, W. Va, has made it his
home. While living in West Virginia he
was made Sheriff and Presiding Magis-
trate. He returned to his old home short
time before the completion OF the h. u ..
X. X. to that place, and was appointed
station agent, which place he has held con-
tinuOusly to this time. Two years ago he
was elected Justice of the Peace. He was
n man highly respected by all who knew
him, and his death will be deeply de
plored by his numerous acquaintance.
His family consists of three sons and Que
daughter. Rice lives in KeOkuk, Ia, and
John at Grafton, w. Va. They have been
notified by telegraph of his death. The re-
mains will be inferred at West Alexander.

THE CITY soLrcrToRsHIp.
The Matter Generally Commented o
Yesterday.

The Matter Generally Commented on
Yesterday.
There WAS good deal of talk among
city officials and lawyers yesterday on the
proposition published in the REGIsTER, to
re-enact the ordinance of Council speci-
ing the duties and fixing the salary of the
City Solicitor, and while some fault was
found with the publication, there was
general recognition of the fact that the
matter needed the attention of the Coun-
ell. An attorney whose connection with
the legal affairs of the city, in times past,
makes him perfectly cOnversant with the
situation, said last evening, that while 1t
was true the sum TO be paid out for legal
services this year would reach about ten
thousand dollars, a great portion OF this
amount resulted from cases which have
been pending for six or seven years, like
the Black suits and the Mendel case. He
thought that this was hardly fair year
upon which to base statement, and said
that with high salary there would be
years in which the money would be paid
for very light services, while at other
times the employment of additional coun-
sci would be unavoidable. At the same
time he admitted that the ordinance was
inadequate to the needs of the
city, and also said that man
who would faithfully live up to
the requirements of the present
law, lame as it is, need have no conscien-
tons scruples about drawi g his salary.
The main facts set forth in the REGISTER
however, namely: that that portion of the
city's business devolving upon the Soil itor
was often either not performed, or done in
such careless way as to be practically
worthless, that the ordinance was defec-
tive, and that the salary was inadequate
to secure the services of good attorney,
were heartily concurred in by gentlemen
competent to form an opinion, and there
were several expressions of the hope that
Council would give the subject some
attention
