Local river men are raising a good
eized kick about the actions OF the
shriver Sand Company, who have been
Gathering up sand lately on the edge of
the channel in the Ohio river under the
steel bridge, and leaving large heaps OF
gravel that the river people say consti-
tute n source OF danger to navigation.
1t is said that should rise of five or six
feet come, towboat pilots, not knowing
OF the existence OF these gravel piles,
would come booming down the stream,
not knowing the danger, and would
probably strike one Of them. with the
effect that there would be n general
wreck along the river front which would
involve the wharfboat and other an.
rhorcd craft. Local river people, seeing
no other way by which the nuisance
could be abated, have placed the matter
in the hands of the Pittsburgh Coal EX-
change, and that body is now calling
the attention Of the United States gov
eminent officials to this infringement,
as is claimed, OF the navigation laws
governing inland waters. The sand
company will probably hear from Uncle
sam pretty soon, at least SO think the
river men.

To Democratic "FaroWell" Meeting
over Mt bridgeport.
Colonel Arnett, of this city, was the
attraction ut the city hall, in Bridge.
port, last evening, in so-calIed discus
sion OF the issues OF the day. A drum
corps pounded and thumped up the
few faithful there are in the town, and
q great many Republicans went through
curiosity. On the stage were seated
Jack Schrodea, Of Martins Ferry; Rock
Mitchell and George Mckee, Of Bridge
port. Rock Mitchell called the meeting
to order and called George Mckee to
tho chair. He introduced the orator in
neat little speech.
The colonel pitched in in a regular old
time way to praise Democracy and re-
vile everything else except Providence,
He said God and the Democrats started
this country and then admitted that the
combination had allowed the country
to slip into the hands of thu Republic
cans, who had controlled it for long
time. On tho tariff no foundcred and
wandered from the Democratic fold and
policy by claiming that he was in favor
OF protection to American workmen.
Such speeches delivered by oratorn Of
such fine ability as Colonel Arnett show
to the reading and thinking Ohio voters
the want OF truth and right on their
side, aud do the Republican cause good.
