| Canal News.

Canal News.
A dispatch from Hancock on Mon
day said: A number of canal-boats OF
the Georges Creek Coal Company have
passed down by Hancock without a
load of coal, and the boatmen say they
cannot load before May l, and perhaps
for two weeks later. These are orders
from the company, and the boatmen
can either tie up at the points they re-
ceive the orders OF return home to wait
until they are called. A number went
nearly to Cumberland before they were
aware of the order and then turned
back. When the telephone was in
operation along the canal this was
avoided. There are at least forty
boats employed by the Georges Creek
Coal Company. The reason for this
stoppage is that 1t lsyet early IN the
season and there are no vessels at
Georgetown to receive the coal. The
boatmen report that number of Con-
solidation boats are now lying loaded
at Georgetown. This company is load
ing boats at Cumberland at the rate
of four or FIVE day and the coal is
mainly for railroad consumption.
f. P. Steffey, coal dealer of Will
Transport, says the depression in bust
ness is due to the active competition
of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany. He says that the agents OF the
Pennsylvania coal operators are very
numerous, and are making special et-
fort, with some success, to market their
coal in the territory which heretofore
drew its supply from the canal. They
have made considerable cut III Vue
price of coal. All this has affected the
trade of the Cumberland region and
business on the canal is consequently
dull. Very little coal is now being
transferred at Williamsport, and this
sudden turn in what seemed would be
most prosperous season has had rather
depressing effect on the boatmen.
1t is said, also, that the West VIZ
ginia Central Railroad, which is con-
trolled by the Davis-Elkins-Gorman
syndicate, is doing all it can to de-
stroy the business of the canal. The
West Virginia Central wants the ca
nal for a roadbed.

Norfolk and Western Reorganization.

The Bondholders Protective Com
mittee Of the Norfolk and Western
Railroad Company has already out
lined its scheme for the rehabilitation
of the property, and while it has not
been officially announced 1t is SAID
that it will include an assessment on
the stock sufficient to pay the floating
debt, amounting to $l,662,OOO, and
the $3,O00,4l4 car trusts, besides the
necessary expenses of reorganization.
This plan, it is said, will relieve the
company Of considerable interest pay
ments, as well as the payment OF cap
ital sums, and the company's finances
would be easier to the extent Of $780,
900 year for the first few years by
such an adjustment.
As to the mortgage bondholders the
idea seems to- be. that the holders Of
the 50, 100000 Clinch Valley 5 per
cent bonds the $16,O65,00O l00-year
5 per cent bonds and the 81 ,O5O,OOO
Maryland and Washington division D
per cent bonds shall consent to re-
duction in the rate Of interest.
The aggregate of these issues is $780,
$4,000, and if the interest were re-
duced but l per cent a sufficient saw
ing would be effected to place the COM
pany on safe basis. 1t is not pro-
posed to forfeit this percentage, but to
give in lieu of the uncollected interest
an obligation that will have priority
over the stock. AS the capital stock
amounts TO $57,5O0,000, the assess
ment would not greatly exceed $40 a
share. The protective committee seems
to think that the plan is so simple
that it can be pushed through rap
idly.

How Much Are You Worth ?

Assessor J. W. Gardner, who is now
engaged in the annual assessment OF
property in this district, reports con-
siderable falling off in values. This
is particularly the case among the
farmers, and is caused by the low
price of horses and the scarcity Of
stock. Under recent act Of the Leg
islature farmers are allowed to deduct
from the valuation of stock and farm
ing implements the amount of unpaid
purchase money on the same.

OUR TOWN.

Once on time there was town
Which had a pastoral name,
And that small town was once renowned
For talent and for fame.
And in that town so once renowned
A gallant General stood
But foes would come and they burned
down
The houses of the good.
But now that town they don't annoy.
For peace now reigns that way,
Unless some naughty little boy
Shoots fire crackers Christmas day.
And then they haul EN- up to jail
And make 'em pay fine.
But tell you the Jail was frail,
And they got out at nine.
Now, such a great surprise was thIs'
Some people in the town
Said they would think ii not amlSs
To give that man frown
Who made their boys go up TO jail,
And tried TO keep them there;
So as the rats and beetles trail
Would drive them to despair.
Now that's the way that things go on
In our most famous town;
We folks from hill and vale and yon,
Don't try TO be like 0Hr'H'
y. Is.
There have been disastrous floods
in the New England States this week.

Antics Of an Early Day Horse Thl.

Antics Of an early Day Horse Thief.
One of the most original horse thieves
in early day history here was Opowegi or
One Hundred, Sioux who made his
'sofice" at one time around the quarters
of the interpreter at old Fort Rice. Hun
dred had previous, experience o. couple
Of years schooling and sightseeing down
about st. Louis, and must have had an
exiled Italian bandit for shoolnaster,
from the way put forth his intellectual
gifts on his return to his Upper Missouri
stamping ground. The woodward men
scattered along the river between Forts
Rice and Buford were the first to involun-
tarily "chip in" on! Hundreds tuition ex-
penses. In the early summers Of 1869
and 20 this active red would make a raid
for mule teams and after running them to
. cache send word to the unIucky owners
that he had "found" their animals and
would restore them for 5000 considera-
don, which was usually done. Malnorie,
one of the Fort Berthold traders, lost his
mule team regularly each simmer and
paid the usual ransom, but finally after
ransoming the same team twice, and on
third afnd" sent word to Hundred It
would save both trouble If the finder
would keep the mules. This Industrious
red. horse thief vas afterwards killed IN q
Sioux camp rumpus.

from one of Pierre Choteau's trading
boats. Mr.. Malnorie yet lives in pretty
good health near the Elbowoods Indian
Agency, this county, and counting con-

He followed the occupation of Indian
trader around Indian camps for about 20
years. He was one of IL white men and
friendly Indians who ''stood off" 600 Sioux
in the assault on Fort BerthOld in 1865, in
which the neighboring post-Fort' Atkln-
son and the principal part of the Indian
village was burned. In the autumn Of
