The dam which has been in the
course Of construction for some time
the completion of which assures
early river transportation to this
point for the steamers, is, we are in
formed by Mr.. 3. NJ. Grant. now
finished ana the hands all discharg-
ed. The contractor, Mr.. Mcdonald,
according to the same report, is pre-
pairing to leave and will go as soon
as the lower flock gates are in readi-
ness to perform their Legitimate
functions, which will be in the course
of two weeks from this date.
The dam is finishedi There is
now an unbroken course of slack
water from here to the mouth of the
river. 1t has been the hope of
many years that such statement
could be made.
We will soon be the nearer neigh
bors to the river towns we have long
wished to be and our town will be
the gamer in Importance which is
assured by regular line of steam
ers.
The lock gate at the lower end of the
lock are not yet hung and after they
are hung some little time will elapse
to rig up the machinery for opening
and shutting the gates. This last
work is the only barrier to the
steamers coming to this place and
soon will that work be completed
that before we are hardly aware we
will awake to hear their welcome
whistles in our ears and then our
dreams and hopes of benefits by
slackwater will be fully realized.
Our report that this month would
witness the boats beginning their
regular trips here, we are more san
guine than ever was a correct one
and our readers will find when this
fact is proven that these columns
are the proper criterions on all
doubtful matters for this section of
country.
1t must be understood that the
work on the lock gates is not con-
tract work, but done directly by the
governments agents, and it is fact
well established that for procrasti-
nation these WORTHLESS can't be beat,
but as there is no excuse, reasonable
or unreasonable, why the work
should be delayed, we look for the
coming of the boats in this month of
October A. d. 1889.

A few nights ago some malicious
person set fire to the colcred school
house in Hoffman's addition and but
for the discovery made by Jim Tur-

would have been consumed. We
learn that the authorities are after
the incendiaries and they will likely
be brought to Justice.

Novel Presidential Reception.

The Tygart's Valley Neacs, pub
lished at Elkins, Randolph county,
this State, gives the following &C
count of President Harrison's visit
to that fourishing town.
President Harrison, accompanied
by ex-senator Davis and nephew,
arrived here on the 12:45 p. m. train,
Tuesday, having made the trip
through the country from Deer Park
to German, Nd, where they took the
West Virginia C. & P. train for this
point. Carriages were awaiting them
at the depot, and they were driven
over the town ard around the hill to
the Elkins and Davis residences,
work on both of which is being push
ed rapidly toward.
The President was greatly pleased
with the town and surrounding
country, having been well prepared
for thorough appreciation of the
fine effect of this beautiful and pictur-
esque valley with it's bordering
mountains, by the extreme wildness
of the country through which he
passed between German and this
place. 1t is said he selected a site
for residence near that of Mr.. Ell
kins.
An informal reception was held
under umbrellas in the field at the
foot of the hill The rain was pour
ing down during the time, but ovel
hundred people waded through
mud and wet grass to shake hands
with the Nations Chief Executive
Immediately after the reception, the
party was driven to the depot .and
boarded the o'clock train for Deer
Park. Political feeling was forgot
ten, and members of both parties
felt honored by the visit, and desir
Gus for the pleasure of the whole
party.

ssOld Hundred, in the Tolls

Ernest Hundertmark, the German
who run the peculiar whiskey ranch
on Mason Il Dixson's line, about
which our readers have heard SO
much lately, has been found guilty
as charged in the United States
court at Clarksburg, and will no
doubt be heavily fined and imprison-
ed. He will be indicted in the state
court here this week and will be
tried and convicted also for violating
the state law. Ernest must begin
to realize by this time that the way
of the transgressor is hard.

Miss Laura Dawson's New Goods.

The great display of new millin-
cry goods at Miss Laura Dawson's
stone on Walnut street is about the
prettiest of the kind seen here lately.
There are hats and bonnets, trimmed
and untrimmed, caps, hoods and
everything else you could mention,
including children's wear. To our
vision the sight is somewhat Devil
dering. But to the ladies it is de-
light. Go and see them and if there
isn't something to suit you, you must
be hard to please.

Annie Costello on Her Muscle Again

Many of our readers know some
thing Of a somewhat notorious Pres
ton county woman named Annie
Costello. She has performed numer
Gus muscular feats in and about
Newburg that have inspired GER
tain kind of respect for her in the
breasts of some of her male acquaint-
ances. She has lately been doing
the same thing, this time in Wheel
ing.
Last Thursday she was brought
into court on the charge of larceny
The hearing was set for 10 o'clock
the next morning by the Justice, and
as he turned to pick up paper the
defendant sprang at his throat. The
Justice is 65 years old, and the fren-
zied woman brought him to the floor
with sufficient force to cut cash
in the judicial head. Mrs Costello
held on to his throat despite the eff
forts of the officers in attendance
and there was severe struggle.
Finally the Justice secured cane
and struck his assailant several
times over the head, inficting cuts.
She was then secured and locked up.
Her offence is punishable with at
least years imprisonment.

INCENDIARISM.
jenkins Store at Evansville Burned
Down.
Kingwood Journal.

Some time last year the key of
the store of B. F. Jenkins d Bro, at
Evansville became missing, and
goods began to disappear. Suspic-
ion pointed to George Rush, John
Costello and Charley Article, three
young men. They were arrested and
tried before Justice Summers on the
23d of September. Two weeks be-
fore the arrest Costello and Rush
told Geo. w. Dugan that they had
been in the store but had not taken
over SIS worth of goods; that they
would see Article, make up the
money and pay for the goods.
Later, Costello told H. E. Jenkins
(his cousin) that he had the store
key and that he and Rush had been
going into the store and had COTTON
some goods; that Article had not
been in the store but had watched
outside. Costello gave the store
key to Jenkins the next day.
On the trial Costello aud Rush
swore that they had never been in
the store, but admitted telling Du-
gan and Jenkins as above stated, but
said it was told in fun. Article did
not testify. Before the trial was
over Costello and Rush escaped.
Article held in 5000 bond to answer
indictment for felony. Costello and
Rush stayed in the neighborhood
and threatened to burn the store
building. Everybody expected that
they would.
Sure enough, ON Tuesday night the
building was fired, and while men
were at work at the fire the fellows
stood on the hill and hooted at them.
The building, in part of which Mr..
Jenkins lived, was consumed. Some
of the goods we're gotten out. We
have no estimate of the loss. A
party of men were searching for
Costello and Rush, and got sight OF

Now there's another West Vir-
ginia institution for the young ro-
mantle minds to ponder over. It's
the Clarksburg Matrimonial Bureau,
which has been started by some
giddy dudes of that place for the
purpose of furnishing wives, hus-
bands and correspondents to all who
send two cent stamp. Clarksburg
young people are the most progress
sive of their race, or think they are.
Oh. think of those poor deluded fools
trying to bring paste on two-cent
stamps and also think Of the happy
homes they will be the means of lay
ing the foundations for. Probably
the idea is to marry off the superhu-
GUS Anticipated maidens Of that his
toric but humdrum burg. Maybe
So. 1t might suit our friends

NEARLY STARVED.
A Sick MAN Goes without Food IL
a Week.

| A Sick MAN Goes without Food fer
"a Week.
A case of starvation and neglect was
brought to light yesterday in the very
heart of the business portion of the city,
by the discovery OF a man in shanty ON
Mott alley, between First and Second
streets, who had been absolutely without
sustenance of any kind for over week.
When the matter was reported to the po-
lice. at 3 O'Clock PM, message was
telephoned to the County Hospital for
the ambulance wagon, but it was some
hours later before it arrived for his con-
veyance to that institution. In the mean
time HERALD reporter paid visit to
the room occupied by the sick man,
and discovered the patient stretched
upon cot in close and mall
odorous apartment, in an emacated ar d
weak condition; SO far gone, in fact, as
to be unable to articulate above q very
faint whisper. With a great effort he
informed the reporter that his name was
Henry Wasmunt, and that he was a na-
tive of Germany, 35 years of age. He
said that he was taken sick about ten
days ago, and had not been able to move
since Sunday week, and consequently
had not been able to obtain anything to
eat or drink. During the three days he
was in condition to help himself
he could not retain anything on
his stomach, owing TO cramps and
pains in his stomach which produced
vomiting spells at frequent intervals.
He could not accounN for his indisposi-
tion, but said that whenever seized by
the cramps he had a severe pain in the
head in the region of an old wound re-
ceived long time ago. Having no
friends or relatives, no one had been
near him during his sickness, until yes
terday morning, when by knocking on
tie frame wall of the building in feeble
manner, he attracted the attention of
Jonathan Knott, who occupied room in
the rear of the building, and obtained
some water for drinking purposes.
In the rear of the shanty Jonathan
Knott, a weli-known character about
town, was met with, and very willingly
told all he knew about the sick German.
For two years past he had been en-
ployed at the Mocha Coffee House on
Main street as dishwasher, and while
there had received nasty cut on the
top Of his head, but no one seemed to
know how it occurred. Through neglect
this developed into serious injury,
and surgeon raised piece of
the skull, and after ecraping it,
replaced it. Since that time he
had frequently been troubled with pains
in the vicinity of the wound. He had
not been seen since Sunday week, but
no one thought of inquiring for him,
and had he not raped upon the boards
and attracted the old mans attention
yesterday, there is every probsbi'itv
that he would have succumbed il d lew
more hours. On inquiry at the County
Hospital last night it was learned that
he had not been affected in the least by
his removal from his room to TIE hoe
pital, and that though in an extremely
critical condition, there was every pras-
pect of his recovery by proper nourish-
ment and treatment.

THE COMING FIGHT.
The Rum0r That IL will not Come
Off Proves UnfOumded.

Ihe RumOr That IL WILL not Conc
Off Proves Unfounded.
A special meeting of the Directors of
the Southern California Athletic Club
was held last night in the club rooms,
President Wise in the chair, and Me -srs.
w. S. Moore, E. j. Niles, j. Manning, G..
Flint, T. G. Metzler and Mr.. Rodman
present. The board went into executive
session, but it was subsequently learned
that the rumor which was current ON
Sunday relative to the Mulholland- Mehan
fight being declard off was trihe prema-
ture, and it was decided not to interfere
with the arrangements already made for
the contest. This decision will undoubt-
edly be hailed with enthusiasm by the
admirers of both competitors, as had
the contrary been determined upon
and the engagement been annulled,
it would have been very unfair to Mehan,
who has been training for the past few
weeks. Mulholland does not appear to
have lost much ground by his untimely
escapade, for in the presence of depu-
tation of members of the club at Laman-
ds Park yesterday, he skipped the rope
l $40 times in a remarkably short space
of time, proving beyond question that he
is in fine condition. Under Billy Man
ning's tuition Mehan has made wonder
full progress, and openly boasts that he
never was in better condition in his life,
and indeed that were almost an impos-
sibility.
A good deal OF money was invested
last night upon the issue of the fight,
several hundred dollars being placed on
Mulholland at evens, and as quickly
snapped up in the clubrooms, within
half an hour of the announcement of the
decision reached by the board.
