graphs shows the dirt and ash dumps" IN
the Allegheny river at the foot Of Tenth
street. If the reader Will suppose himself
standing in the extreme lower left corner of
the picture, looking straight up along the
shore toward the P, Ft. W. & @. R. r.
bridge in the distance, be will at q glance
see the way the upper piles Of ashes and
refuse are insidiously creeping out into the
steam, each one q little farther than the
other. The lower left corner of the. picture
shows the river clear to edge of the photo
graph. The dirt piles fill in the middle
field OF the photograph on the left side.
TWENTY YEARS OF FILLING.
The third photograph illustrates the
heighth of the made ground on the banks
OF the Allegheny river at the foot of Gar
rison alley. The shore was first filled in
and wooden piles driven on which to build
the freight branch of the Junction Rail-
road. Below this again dirt and ashes have
been dumped, year after year, until the
railroad seems quite distance back from
the river. Yet from the ground beyond the
top OF the fiat cars standing on the tracks,
down to the edge of the water was once
free and sloping. The white-whiskered toll
collector at the Hand street bridge, just
below here, says he has seen the river driven
PACK, yard after yard, in the 20 years that
ne has been on duty at this point.
On the north bank of the Allegheny river,
about mile above the Forty-third street
bridge, blast furnace company, finding
1t had not room enough for some new build
ings and yards it was about to erect, COM
menced filling up the river bank with Stag.
AS this bank extends farther and farther
out into the river, it adds to the railroad
track, which carries the dinky locomotive
and Stag cars to the waters edge.

force. Ii tnls were done, ana particularly
if the banks of, the Monongahela were ex-
tended out to properly prescribed lines, this
particular shoal would disappear of itself,
and in any event its removal by dredging to
permit of its passage by vessels drawing ten
feet of water, is matter which would in
volve only triding cost"
SOME OF THE ENCRoAcHMENTs.
One of the photographs accompanying
this article is of the south bank Of the
Monongahela river, just below the Tenth
street bridge. The ill-in of rolling-mi
cinders has been going on for so many years
that it not only extends out into the
water a considerable distance, but is filed
up even with the mainland The edge Of
the embankment therefore presents sheer
fall into the river of ut least 20 feet. A
shantybost, shown in the picture, has been
built on huge timbers and props to maintain
it on the surface of the ttfill." Standing
Just below this shanty-boat and looking up
river, 1 saw an embankment of cinders
had been built up pretty well under the
bridge, extending from the first pier to
shore. That represented a visible flling-in
of the river of some 20 or 30 feet additional
to the encroachments already attained by
the cinder bank to the side of which the
shanty-boa clung.

Mind Reading,

The feats of mind reading per-
formed 10y the late Irving Bishop
were wonderful and savOred good
deal of the supernatural, though he
always claimed there was nothing
mysterious about it. Johnston the
phenominal product of the Northwest,
has given some wonderful exhibitions,
though skertics have not been want
ing who denounced him us palpab!e
fraud. There is another kind of mind
reading not SO difficult as that attempt
ell 10y Bishop and Johnston-to read
the mind Of the public on Il subject of
great interest. During the past five
years 'The Burlington" has carried
to all parts of the country thousands
and thousands of people bright of the
Northwest, and if you ask amy one
what he thinks of the line, you can
before he speaks, read his mind on
that question:, by noting how pleasant
of speed, comfort and
safety cause his face to light up and
smile to break forth.

KNIGHT HAWK.

The noted trotting bred stallion
Knight Hawk has recently been pur-
chased by j. l.. Gould and E. w
Randall. To such of our readers as
are not already familiar with this no
ble animal, brief description will be
interesting. Color, black; weight
about 100 pounds. Head fine; neck
long and arched, set well upon good
pair,of shoulders, back short with hips
amidst ifes immensely developed; legs
and feet sound and of the true Black
Hawk type, His pedigree is as fol-
lows:
Sire, North Hawk, (record 2:2S); he
by Sherman Black Hawk; by Sher-
man Morgan; by Justin Morgan.
Dam of North Hawk was sired by
''Cock of the Rock" Dam of Sher-
man Black Hawk was sired by Young
Hambletonian. The dam of Knight
Hawk was famous road mare with
good trotting action, and sired by
0. G.. Chilson's Frank-the sire of the
Bradley Horse and other good ones.
0. G. Chilson's Frank was sired by
Young Hambletonian; by Harris
Hambletonian; by Bishops Hamble-
tonian; by imported Messenger. The
dam of .. 6. Chilson's Frank was
sired by Sherman Morgan; the grand
dam, by Old Justin Morgan. Breed
ers will do we'll to notice the thorough
breeding of the Morgan, and the
crosses of the Hambletonian and Mes
senger, with the pedigree running
back to the solid foundation of thor
ough bred blood in this horse. The
Black Hawk Morgan family is too
well known to need comment, espec
tally as we see it more and more ap
preciated each succeeding year. Those
having good brood mares and wishing
to raise fine general purpose horses,
brood mares, trotters, coach or car
riage horses should look this horse
over carefully before making final
selection. 1t would be well also to
examine some of his colts. This will
enable you to tell whether you wish
some like them or not. 1t will be well
to remember, also, that it costs no
more to raise a good colt than poor
one. Mr.. Ladd, an experienced breed
er and dealer, says in Wallace's
Monthly: Il am taught by expert
ence that a good Morgan stallion
crossed with a miscellaneous lot or
mares, will get more horses that every
body wants for industrial pursuits
and domestic necessities and enjoy
ments, than any other" If you are
an admirer of Morgan horse, K1obt
Hawk will suit you, for he tho best

A Distinguished Citizen Abroad.

Our townsman Capt. W. B. Shaw.
of the legal firm of Pittman s. Shaw.
was one Of the counsel in an interesting
and important criminal case in Norfolk
a couple of weeks ago. DR.. F. N.
Morgan, prominent and well known
physician Of Berkeley was indicted for
malpractice, the particulars of which
need not be given here. Capt. Shaw
appeared for Morgan and we see from
the Norfolk papers made one of his
customary strong. eloquent and forcible
speeches in behalf of his client. The
jury did not stay out but twenty min
utes before verdict of not guilty was
returned. The case attracted a great
deal of interest owing TO the promi-
nence of the parties involved and emf
nent counsel were employed on both
sides. Capt Shaw had been attending
court in Dare county and went over to
Norfolk to appear in this case, it having
been postponed from Monday. the day
set for it's hearing, till Thursday to
await his arrival. The GOLD LEAF is
pleased to see the complimentary ref
erences made to it's tOwnsman and feels
sure that he merits everything said
about him.
