The very sudden and sensational
disappearance of Arthur Dckerson,
living near Waterford, still remains
mystery, which the past week has fail
ed to throw and light upon. The drag
ging of the creek and river revealed
nothing; the dynamiting of the creek
brought nothing to the 'surface;" all
efforts to find any trace of him have
proven futile, and his whereabouts ie a
mystery which only the developments
of time will solve. His mother and
other relatives are almost distracted
over his sad fate, and Miss Browning,
the young lady whom he was to have
married, is almost heart broken. .-Bev-

with which disease local physician
said little child of Mr. c. e. Richards
died few days since. The public

been closely quarantined. 1t turns out
to have been nothing but the bad judg-
ment of doctor, one of the sharp,
so very often in the country towns and
who seem to delight only in terroriz-
ing people. The school will be opened
at once, the town will pay the cost of

has already retired and gave each other
a good kicking and the doctor who
caused the alarm is no doubt happy
but not quite SO important as he was a
week ago oil Review.

says: The Ironsides left with the re-
naming model barge of her tow of iron
products and also carried along three
coalboats and one fiat. The tow of
this steamer, which she is making up
below Steubenville, is one of the most
valuable that ever left Pittsburg In
the ten model barges of steel rails and
manufactured iron there are 6,OOO tons,
about 5.4OO being steel rails. The
value is $3.50, 900. One model barge OF
Russia iron alone is worth $50, 600. The
entire tow would load 1000 freight
cars.
