Astonlshment and dismay possessed

We are too busy to do it, besides we heard \ man say the other day that that furniture man at Hawleyvilie who Advertises 30 much must be fool (queer what big game one runs on to sometimes when he goes out with out gum. Another more charitable friend remarked to us confldentially in an oil hand way that writing .'ads'' out Of business hours is liable to lead to spftening ot the brain, mind you he didn't say we had got it, and he looked away over into the next county when hint Ii 1t is 8 blind one. 1t would be perfect ly awful if we should really get 1t (this soften ing disease we mean) and have 1t get real deeply seated before we kn 3w 1t or before we had time to vaccinate so we are going to stop right of short, give up our advertising col umps for while. pocket the money that would otherwise go into the cohers Of these grasping newspaper monopolists, eat brain hardening food and attend strictly to business 1. o., selling furniture at Hawleyville.
 Now for Heavens sake don't tell every body what you think, just remember how sensitive we are to adverse criticism and tell then that we are simply boyeotting and playing Debs with the newspapers for while, don't tell them we are tired or waiting for anything to harden, be compassionate, be just, be con. siderate, be charitable, be liberal minded one COME TO HAWLEYVILLE before you buy your furniture.

Up h f h city
H Piano S FOR

ed a sportmanlike spirit by opening
the race to riders outside their town. %
This comes with remarkable poor
grace from the Intelligencer, as
will be seen by a little retrospection.
On the Fourth of July, two years ago,
that paper was instrumental in getting
up a road race whcih was advertised as
open to WestV irginia and. Belmont
county wheelmen. At proper time
two Martins Ferry boys and one from
Bridgeport made application for en-
trance, but they were informed that
the managers had changed their
minds" and that no one outside Of
West Virginia would be allowed in the
race. Now, if it is "ulsportmanlike"
to exclude outside riders from a race in
'95 what was it in SO? Moreover the
Martins Ferry event was only calcu-
lated for local affair and it was so ana
nounced from the first. Both Wheeling
and Aetnaville wheelmen were refused
entrance, not that the Martins Ferry
wheelmen objected, for all of them were
anxious that the event should be thrown
omen for everyone, but because the
managers did not wish to undertake
an affair of such magnitude. The In
telligencer man wants to read up the
story about the beam and the mote and
do some plucking accordingly.-Mar-
tins Ferry Times.

A movement is on foot among the
merchants and manufacturers of this
city to secure much-needed improve
ments in the Ohio river by the govern
ment, says the Cincinnati Commercial
Gazette. 1t is being made under the di-
rection of the Chamber of Commerce.
The first step was taken couple of
weeks ago, when a committee of the
Chamber Of Commerce, together with
the Executive Committee of the freight
bureau, held a conference with Col.
Amos Stickney I. S. Engineer in
charge of the Ohio river improvements.
Mr.. Stickney gave the committee the
benefit of his experience in a practical
talk, which so encouraged the com
mittee that there is now little doubt
the work will be pushed. The commit
tee will submit a written report to the
Directors of the Chamber Of Commerce
at their meeting Tuesday.
The entire procedure is being made
on the assurance of Col. Stickney that
thereis suliicientwater in the Ohio river
TO guarantee a siX-foot stage OF water
the year round if properly controlled.
To get the control will require greater
appropriations for the Ohio river by
kCongress. Heretofore the apprOpria-
tons have been a ridiculously small
proportion of the amount set apart for
the Mississippi and Missouri rivers,
where any Improvement can be only
temporary. To secure this increased
appropriation the Congressman from all
the districts along the entire lire Of the
river will be first interested. After THAI
it is believed the work will be COM
paratiyely easy. The plan which Will
be proposed Tuesday is first to have the
present committee of the Chamber OF
! Commerce enlarged; then for that COM
mittee to begin correspondence with
leading citizens in every town along the
Ohio, whether large or small, with a
view to awakening a similar interest in
each. Leading citizens Of each district
will be asked to personally solicit the
/ interest and help of their respective
members of Congress.
Following the summers work, it is
proposed to have big convention, most
probably in this city, and banquet, TO
which each Congressman will be in
vited and urged to attend, together with
those from the districts who have in
terested themselves in the matter. Al
the convention it is proposed TO have
addresses and furnish entertainment as
we'll as instruction. 1t is believed that
when the real facts are thus made
known. there will be little difficulty IN
securing the desired aid from Uncle
Sam. The improvement Of the river, ii
is said. will cost less than many imagine
and if S1.00O.0 900 could be secured for
the first year, for which to construct
necessary snagboats and dredges, the
desired depth of the river could be Sc
cured and maintained very soon. OF
course. Col. Stckney, being a govern
ment officer. is taking no interest in the
matter beyond furnishing the desired
information and being ready and anX-
ious to undertake the work Of improve
| ment.

SAFELY IN PORT.
The French Liner La Touraine Delayed by
an Accident.

New York, August 1.-THE French
line steamship, La Touraine from
Havre came into port this morning "a
hours behind her usual time, owing to
a mishap to her machinery during the
voyage. The La Touraine, under COM
mand of Commodore Santelli, left
Havre July q at 2 p. m. with full
cargo, 223 saloon SO second cabin and
253 steerage passengers. She eXpe-
rienced fine weather and bid fair TO
make an unusually good passage, her
cabin passengers expecting to land Sat
urday morning. At about 4 o'clock on
July 31st, as the big liner was APP
preaching the banks of New Foundland,
the chief engineer noticed jarrinS
and pounding Of the .pr0pellers aS
though they had struck some obstruc-
ton in the water and also that the poIT
engine propeller was working badly.
An examination revealed the fact that a
couple of stern plates had worked
so loose that they came in contact with
the port propeller, causing a heavy jar
and pounding. Repairs of temporary
nature were made and the steamship
resumed her voyage at reduced rate
of speed.
