BREAKING THE ICE.
The Baltimore Tugs Mt Work Between
the Bridges.

The Baltimore tugs Hercules and Vulcan
are at work OH the ice in the Georgetown
channel between the Long and Aqueduct
bridges. They are meeting with sliShter
difficulty than they anticipated, though
the ice is reported to be still quite hard
and very thick. The Vulcan picked away
al the product of the late blizzard all day
yesterday and die splendid work. The Nuls
can came around to the Washington front
ahd this morning put new jet in her
stack with a view TO increasing the draft.
1t is exN3ined that had this been done at
Baltimore she would not have hung up in
the ice While coming to the rescue of
Washington. River front citizens show a
strong disposition to have fun at the eN-
pense OF Captain Bull OF the Vulcan be-
cause of this comical incident.
She is all right now, though, and with the
aid which the baimy weather is giving, is
having no great trouble with the Ice. The
dock this afternoon, with Maj. Moore. Har-
bormaster Sutton and Mr.. Neumeyer on
beard, for the scene of operations. The
ice being cracked with facility, and if
that in the lower river will break up and
give that in the upper river a chance to
move down, and If in moving down gorge
is not allowed TO form at the Long bridge.
all will be Well, and Washington will be
safe At the present it is thought that
only about two more days will be needed
to complete the work for which the tugs
were brought around. Harbormaster SUIT
ton told u reporter for The Star this after
noon that he now had not the least fear
of a flood: that the danger to which the
city had been exposed was passed, and the
tugs were doing nobly.
The thickness of the Ice which is being
found in the upper end of the west channel,
he said, bore out the reasons on which he
tased his fears of great food. Major
Moore expressed himself as pleased and in
terested with the operations. a larae num-
,AI "A

Aaueduct bridge and some of the wharves
along the water front. 1t was an interest
ing spectacle. AT night the ice breakers
will tie up on the Washington front. The
ferries are in motion, and the Norfolk and
Washington steamers are coming and GO
ing as usuaL~It is thought that If the
present weather continues for few days
the Manchester, Wakefield, Arrowsnlith,
Mattano and Harry Randall will begin TO

SUGGESTED NO APPOINTMENTS.
Gov. Morton Denies Reports Connect
ing Him With Mayor Strong.

ALBANY. n. Y, February 25.-Gov. Nor
ton said today: There is no foundation
for current reports that / have either ask
cd for or suggested any appointments, or
made any demands whatever upon Mayor
Strong during my recent visit 10 New York
or at any other time. 1 called upon the
mayor, who was confined to his home by
illness, for consultation regarding the in
terests of the city, and was entirely salts
fled with the views which he voluntarily
expressed bearing upon his general policy
as a chief magistrate elected upon nom
partisan platform. The position of an Off
Ger elected on such platform is neces-
sariIy an embarrassing one, and it is not
surprising that disappointments and mis-
apprehensions should arise in consequence
of his official appointments. 1 have entire
confidence, however. that fair and proper
recognition will be given to the two great
parties who supported Mayor Strong with
such practical unanimity that their efforts
resulted in his triumphant election"

enue for this district, which includes the

ton will have his hands full 1t is expected
that an appointment will be made in a few

NV Wife Ii Nervous

Says many a man, and too often he is
inclined to blame the poor, tired
woman who cannot eat or sleep, whose
whole life is filed with misery because
her blood has become impoverished
and her nervous system exhausted.
She needs building up medicine like
Hoods Sarsaparilla. A few bottles will
enrich and vitalize her blood, tone and
strengthen her digestive organs, give
her a good appetite, enable her to sleep
soundly, Danish her nervousness and
bring back her smiles. Mr.. J. w, Rob
erson, of Greenfield, Tenn, says: "My
wife began taking Hoods Sarsaparilla
about three months ago and she is now
taking her third bottle. She has been
in poor health for 10 years. Hoods
Sarsaparilla is doing her more good
than any other medicine she has ever
taken. Her appetite IS better, she
looks better and there has been i'm
provement in every way"

The BOARD OF AGRICULTURE.

The Mem ers Designated by The Legisla-
| ure---Miss Their Seats by Tech nicality.
The State Board of Agriculture
met in Raleigh last week. The last
legislature passed an act increasing
the number of the board, and elected
the following as members: j. H.
Buchanan; G. ii. Johnston, j. q. l..
Harris, j. X. Chamberlain and o. IL.
Sarbuck. On a technicality in the
process of enacting the law and
tIecting the members, however, the
present Democratic administration
managed to throw the new members
out The "technicality" is that the
new members were designated before
the law woS ratifed-that is before
1t had been signed by the Speaker of
the House aud the President of the
Senate, though it had passed both
houses before the new members were
elected. That portion of the law
creating the five new members held
good, and the Democrats proceeded
after true democratic principle" to
put In five Democrats, unmindful OF
the fact that the entire gang had
been told by a majority of twenty
thousand people that they were no
longer wanted IN the public affairs
OF the State. And the men who
were thus elected calmly and delib.
erately accepted the offices just as
though they had a perfect, moral
right to them, and just as though
tne people had told them by twenty
thousand majority to step in.
