The Pittsburg river coal men are
taking advantage of the first coal boat
stage in the Upper Ohio for period of
eight months. Every boat that can be
gotten out will be sent south on the
present rise, and every steamer in
Pittsburg is being pressed into service,
while those in lower waters will hurry
back as soon as they deliver their tows.
When the river falls again. that $4,000
goo bushels of coal will have been
transferred from Pittsburg to the
South. Among the boats which passed
Wheeling yesterday were the George
Shiras and Enterprise.
The following named boats will be
on their way down to-day: w. w. o.
Neil, Joseph b. Williams; Ida Budd,
Beaver. Jim Brown John F. Walton,
sam Clark, Dick Fulton, Tom Dods-
worth, Harry Brown and a half dozen
smaller boats. About 100000 BUSH
els Of coal were sent out from Pitts
burg during the week.
The Williams, the biggest tOwboat
on the river, took out 100000 bushels.
which is probably the largest tow ever
handled by a single boat. If the
Williams reaches her destination in
safety she will have accomplished a
noteworthy feat.
On the landing here Saturday was
busy, and a great many persons went
down TO the wharf to witness the UNI
usual sight of a booming river. The
water crawled slowly up on the marks.
and at o'clock there was a stage of
seventeen feet three inches. Several
inches more were added at midnight.
and it is possible that the twenty-fOoC
mark may be reached before the water

Won GRIFF'S
SURRENDER.
BY SEwELL FORD.

copyright. 1895, by American Press Associa-
ton.
All who knew Won Griff, the baker,
knew him to be n proud man. Perhaps
his pride was so well known because he
did not hide It, But concealment was
something too subtle for the warm heart
ed, impetuous German, His likes and his
dislikes were as easy to read as the big
blue sign above his bakery door. Some
there were among his customers whom he
treated with open scorn Yet they were
not driven away. for Won Griif's bread
was good.
There were several things of which Won
Griff was proud, but his ever increasing
bank account was not one of them.
Won Griff had daughter Rosie was
her name He loved Rosie and no was
proud of her. Won Griff also had sword.
1t Is not too much to say that he loved his
sword, and it is but stating the bare fact
to say that he was intensely proud of it,
A picture of Won Griff's heart would
have revealed two shrines In one shrine
would have been seen his daughter-in
the other his sword.
None questioned him his pride in Rosie.
There were those, however, who ridiculed
his pride in his sword and scoffed at his
lOND lOr H. uo uilu uuO SCOlubB
took place apart from the presence of Won
Griff.
The sword was huge, wicked looking
blade of steel in brass bound, battered
scabbard. 1t hung by day over the little
desk at the end of the bakery counter. At
night it was suspended on tho wall OF Won
Griff's chamber and was the first object
on which his eyes rested when he woke, as
it was the last on which they closed when
he lay down to sleep.
All who were friends Of his knew the
story of that sword, and had admired 1t.
His particular friends had even been al
lowed to draw the huge blade. This as
sured them that they stood high in Won
Griff's esteem To these he told stories of
his war spent youth, pointed to tho white
line which started just above his right
temple and was lost in the grizzled hair
on top of his head, and, with flashing eye
and nostrils once more a-quiver, spoke of
the field of Sedan, where French saber
had left that mark.
And so it was that many knew the story
of that sword To strangers was pointed
out the baker who, as German soldier,

not o Inorose man. He was something of
philosopher in his quiet way, and a
cheerful sort of philosophy was his too.
When Won Griff stormed into the tin
shop, Fairfield was giving toakettle an
new lease of life by the judicioas applica-
ton of solder.
'Mcester Fairfield, you hat a son, hat
you notf" abruptly began the baker.
II have" said the tinsmith, suspending
operations on the teakettle.
"Und / have daughter, went on Won
Griff. "Your son, Meester Fairfield, has
asked mo for mine Rosie to marry"
"Ah?' said the tinsmith, with a smile.
"Hah, yah!' exploded the baker For
mine Rosie to marry. Meester Fairfield,
your son is young. He knows holdings
yet. He knows not dot he is q nobodies.
See vat he doesl He wants to marry the
daughter of a Won Griff. Hah'
The tinsmith smiled placidly at this
TRADE and put his iron in the blazing
charcoal.
"A Won Griff," continued the baker,
throwing out his chest and striking it
with his clinched fist.
"Meester Fairfield, vos soldtier,
und fights me at Sedan und Metz Who
vos your"
The tinsmith smiled and took up the
teakettle. Turning his back on the baker,
he held the kettle to the light and began
a search for unwelcome holes. But the
baker had not finished.
"Who vos your" he repeated.
AS the tinker did not answer, Won Griff
replied to his own question.
"You-you Observation-Disclosures tam din
ker. Und tink you mine Rosie efer marry
the son of dinkerp No, by ohracious,
neverl Meester Fairfield, your son peter
keep away from mine house. That spoken,
und am man of my WORT.
Having thus delivered himself Won
Griff turned sharply on his heel.
"Well, / guess Jack can take care Of
himself" remarked the tinsmith quietly.
The times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1882-1897, 1895-05-24

"MEEsTER FAIRFIELD" BEGAN THE BAKER
The baker turned flercely at the words,
glared ferooiously at the unruffled object
of his anger, and then left the shop.
With many a chuokle jacks father told
him of the bakers visit, and added, "The
next time you go counting Rosie Won
Griff, you'd better wear q suit of chain
armor, my boy"
But Rosie would not let Jack run any
such risks She made him promise not to
go near her father until she should give
him permission to do so, and to repay him
she planned many ingenious meetings So
the courtship went merrily on In spite of
Won Griff and his big sword.
May had almost gone and spring was
fairly installed in winters place when ono
day Rosie met Jack with redeemed eyes
and serious face.
"Why, Rosie, what's the matterp
You've been crying"
II know / have, and I'm going to make
you cry, too" she said dolefully.
"Oh, now DON'T just think, wouldn't
I look nice weepingp"
"Now, Jack Fairfield, you just stop
making fun of me and listen. Something
dreadful's going to happen.
"Well, what Is itS"
"My papa is going-goiDg-oh, Jack
he's going to take me to Germany and
marry me off to an old army officer. There
how do you like that''
"But he's not going to do anything OF
the kind"
ayes, he Is. We're to start In June. "
"Then we'll be married tomorrow I'd
like to sec him take you off to Germany
then"
"Oh, Jack, wouldn't dare do that. He
would-oh, he would kill you'll I shudder
