NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., that a syndicate Of Sic.
tersyille people had been in the city for
tho purpose OF purchasing the Island
ferry boat, Charleston, and placing the
craft in the trade between the oil
metropolis and the Ohio side Of the oil
field, was received with good deal OF
surprise by uniformed Island resi-
dents, and with some alarm BY others,
who feared that the sale OF the Charles.
ton would mean a capitulation to the
bridges.
An evening paper that Is noted for
the facility with which it tumbleS to
conclusions, pronounced the ISTRLLr-
aEHCER's story 4 fake, but, as usual, 1t
was away of. When asked as to the
offer made by the SistsrIville people,
Dr.. Z. @. Myers, president Of the ferry
company, said last evening:

vile people were here and wanted to
purchase the Charleston, but as they
thought our figures for the boat were
too high, they went back home. We
asked $1,000 for the boat, but they
would not give that much"
SIS the deal od?" was asked.
"No, II isnot of vel"
Continuing. DR.. Myers said that II the
boat is sold the directors want to get
enough out Of the transaction to pay OF
outstanding obligations and leave II
surplus with which the Island people
could 60 ahead with another boat or
quit altogether. 1t is learned that the
directors who have shouldered the debt
Of the ferry company are unwilling TO
carry the burden longer and would not
be displeased II the boat could De dis.

on fresh basis. Some time ago

up and the debris saturated with water,
and the FIRE thereby was confined to
the hall and rotunda. The library, con.
taining about $4,000 worth Of books,

he saw Rev. j. George Gibson and a

that he had gone so far in his original
