News OF the Boats and Boatmen Along
tie Ohio.
The Elane passed down about three
o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The Bedford departed for Pittsburg
and way landings at nine o'clock yester-
day morning.
The fogs which have settled along the
river during the past week have greatly
interfered with navigation, very few
boats undertaking to run at night.
Friday night was probably worse than
any other during the week.
The Sunshine was delayed by fogs and
was late in reaching this city. She
should have departed Saturday after
noon on her return trip to Cincinnati,
but it was o'clock yesterday morning
when she cleared. The Sunshine is
running independently in the Wheeling
and Cincinnati trade.
Yesterday morning the towboat John
w. Allies passed here with good tow OF
barges containing coal. She left Pitts
burg on the recent rise for Cincinnati,
but some doubt was entertained con-
corning the trip, and some thought she
could not make 1t. She passed here
safely, but stuck near the foot OF Blen-
nerhassett Island. This morning the
Jim Mcconnell left here with several
empty barges and will tighten the load,
when the John w. Allies will tie up and
wait for higher Notwithstanding

and looked pretty we'll knocked out.
What condition the rolls are left In can
not be told until they have been sub
jected to an examination. Among the
property destroyed were eight cars con.
signed to the mill, and one car loaded
for the corrpgating works, between the
mill and Reymann's brewery, but not
vet delivered. The loss of the contents
of the cars consigned to the mill will
likely fall to the Mil Company, as they
had been delivered, but the contents OF
the car for the corrugating works will
probably be a railroad loss, as delivery
had not been made. The loss OF the
cars themselves falls, it is said, upon
the Terminal Company. by whom they
were being used. They are said to be
covered by insurance through the PAUL
agency. The cars belonged to various
roads, the Penn sylyania and B. & ..
among others.a
The actual loss from the fire is diff
cult to estimate on account OF a lack OF
knowledge as to the state OF the ma
chinery. The best estimates made OF 1t
range between 100000 and $4,000,
with tho probabilities in favor OF the
first named figures being correct, The
insurance upon the portion OF the mill
involved in the fire is $40, 500, all placed
in foreign companies through the Alder
son agency, the companies involved
being represented here by the PAUL,
Anderson, Rodgers and Rice agencies.
The complete list Is as follows:

TO Be Formed.

OF the United Mine Workers OF America
TO Be Formed.
An important delegate meeting OF
coal miners OF this section will be held
at Trades Assembly Hall next Satur-
day morning at nine o'clock. The
meeting has been called TO consider the
adTisability OF organizing sub-district
OF the U. NJ. w. of A.. TO embrace all
the mines In the Pan Handle and a
number of other counties 10 the First
Congressional district OF the State.
The local miners have long had this
matter under consideration. Not long
ago they received the consent OF the
National body TO withdraw from the
State district and organize separate
sub-district, conditioned upon receiving
the consent OF the State officers. This
consent has finally been given. and IL Is
no " almost certain that the suD-district
will be formed.
The miners in this vicinity allege
that the miners In the lower district OF
the State are poorly organized and have
to be supported by the local organiZa-
tons. Another reason for the change
is that the interests Of the miners In
the two sections are not identical, In
asmueh as the product is shipped TO
different sections, and does not enter
into competition.

TIE BRUNSWICK CHANGES HANDS.
mr.. Thornton RetireS, After a Business
Career OF Twenty Years.

After remarkably successful career
as caterer, during the past twenty
years, Mr.. Martin ThoFnton has decided
to retire from business. The Hotel
Brunswick, which he has conducted for
several years, passes to-day TO the man
agement OF Mr.. Louis Roessler, Of III.
nois, who has leased IL for term OF
years. In retiring from active life, Mr..
Thornton desires to return thanks TO
the public for the generous patronage
which II has accorded him. aud asks q
continuance under the new manage
ment.
The Brunswick, under the proprietor
ship OF Martin, has steadily grown Ia
popularity until IL is to-day one Of ths
leading hotels OF the State. Mr.. Roess-
Ter has splendid business qualifications.
and will no doubt maintain the high
standard established by his predecessor.
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1893-11-13

Of this total, about 800, 600 is on
buildings, about $4,000 on machinery,
about SO, 600 on stock, and the remain
der OF a number of small items. There
is in the neighborhood Of $4,000 more
insurance on the portion Of the mill and
stock untouched by the fire, the total
on the whole plant being In the neigh
borhood OF S12O, 900. There is a good
deal Of stock on hand in the warehouse,
but 1t is intact, and the buildings and
machinery not actually in the fire are
also all right, and therefore do not fig
ure in the above list Of insurance.
Mr.. N. e, Whitaker was absent in
Maryland yesterday, but will likely be
home to-day.
There seems to be no definite idea as
to the origin OF the fire, except gen.
eral theory that it caught from natural
gas somewhere close to the fly wheel Of
the big central engine, about the mid
die of the mill. Waterman Kennay,
who turned in the alarm, says the fire
was blazing up big when he first saw
1t, and so fiercely did it burn that he
only got the alarm box open with the
greatest difficulty and danger to him
self. The dense fog prevented the
blaze from being seen by any one out
side of the mill, and even when the fire
was at its height the light could not be
detected two squares away.
During the progress of the fire Mr..
and Mrs. Frank Wizard made and dis
tributed coffee to the fremen, for which
Chief Haley and his men return their
thanks. The fremen worked at the
ruins until late in the morning, and two
streams were kept at work all day.
At late hour last night a rumor was
current in East Wheeling that Mr.. N.
z. Whitaker had telegraphed to have
the ruins cleaned up preparatory to re-
building, but the report could not be
verified.
