Yesterday morning Congressman
Dovener and Chairman Hart. OF the
Wheeling chamber OF commerce COM
mittee on river improvement, went to
Pittsburgh for the purpose of confer
ring with the Pittsburgh river people
relative to the visit OF the congressional
committee on rivers and harbors to the
upper Ohio this spring, when the river
will be inspected from the p1latial
packet Virginia, OF the Pittsburgh and
Cincinnati line, from Pittsburgh to
Wheeling, and possibly on to Parkers-
burg.
They talked with Captain James A.
Henderson, Captain bravo and other
gentlemen representing the coal eX-
cnange and chamber OF commerce. and
found the entire river interests thor
oughly aroused to the Importance OF
the visit Of the committee in Its bearing
on government improvement OF the
river. II was not thought advisable

day, This matter Will be attended to
In a few weeks and the river people will
be given ample notice.
The present rise in the river came
rather unexpectedly. None OF the river
people We're looking for the highest
water OF the year at this time. Last
nights report from Pittsburgh showed
12,7 feet and still rising. With the ex-
pected Ia or 16 feet at Pittsburgh there
should be is to 90 feet at Wheeling.
On account Of the recent run OF coal
there Is very little coal ready to 20 out
on the present rise. Up to noon yeSter-
day only two boats had left Pittsburgh,
as follows: Dick Fulton with twelve
pieces and the Enterprise with eight
pieces. More coal Will so out to-day
and tomorrow, tho total shipment
reaching perhaps 100000 bushels.

Pettffogging Lawyers Who Hunt Up
Cases in Which They Can Ges
Jobs
Anybody who doubts the activity Of
the lawyers known as ambulance
chasers'' will be convinced of their
alertness after a short experience in
one of the accidents happening every
day. Victims Of any sort of accidents
are very promptly deluged with cards
and advertisements of such attorneys;
but it used to be necessary for the law
yers to wait until the cases were pub
lished by the newspapers. Now such
delay rarely occurs. The method of
acquainting themselves with such mat
tiers has been brought down to a sci
ence. and offers to obtain legal redress
reach the victims Of the misfortune
rapidly. One instance of especial
proInptness happened the other day,
when a man was run over by a wagon
In Grand street. This occurred at half
past in the morning, and before 10
loWyer. had interviewed him and made
arrangements to undertake the case.
Such rapidity is rather optional, but
instances little short Of it are to be no.
ticed every day. Many of these acct
dents from driving take place on the
crowded streets Of the East Side, and
there the news travels quickly to the
Offices Of the lawyers who make a
speciality Of such practice. They are
soon on the spot, and the victim is
readily traced to his home or the hos
pital to which hezmay have been car
