RIVER REPORTED GORGED
At Buck Hill Bottom, About Thirty
Miles Below Wheeling.
Heavy Ice Still Continues to Pass
Wheeling - The Kanawha Re-
ported Frozen Over - Nothing
Heard From the Towboat Alice
Brown - The River Coal Oper-
ators in a Good Humor Over the
Present Cold Snap.

The Ohio river at the wharf last night
was feet inches and falling. Las night
the river was reported gorged at Buck
Hin Bottom. about thirty miles below
Wheeling. The ice still continues 10 pass
here. but if the reported gorge proves to
be fact it will not be long before it is eX-
tended to this point The ice that passes
here is about six or seven inches thick
The Kanawha is reported as being frozen
over. This will stop navigation on that
stream until the ice moves out which Will
not occur for several weeks.
Nothing has been heard Of the towboat
Alice Brown since she left Cincinnati last
Friday. and it is presumed that she is tied
up at some remote place along the Ohio
between that point and Parkersburg. The
members of the firm of W. II. Brown Sons
her owners, have not heard a word from
her and the only conclusion they can draw
is that she is laid up at some place where
there is no communication.
The annual meeting Of the Board of SUI
pervising Inspectors of Steam Navigation
met in Washington last Wednesday, and
may remain in session until after the in
auguration. as some very important mat
ters will be presented for consideration.
Gen. Dumont has been advised that the
Ohio and Mississippi rivers and tributaries
steamboatmen urge an amendment to the
rule regarding lifeboats. As the rule now
stands. there Is a graded scale according
lf1f ~
pears that the Ohio river steamboatmeH
are not so much opposed to the number OF
boats they are required to carry as they
are to the size of each boat. Under the
rule. each liIeboat must be large enough
TO carry p people Gen. Dumont says that
the size Of a boat did not cut much OF a
figure
The river coal operators are I'm an ex-
ceptonally good humor on account of the
present cold snap. This kind Of weather
is lust what the operators want for If it
continues any length of time il VIII make
the coal vanish at rapid rate at the South
ern markets The weather is extremely
cold at Cincinnati and Louisville The
thermometer is also low at New Orleans
for this season of the year. Several weeks
OF the present kind of weather will cause
the coal to disappear at "a lively rate.
The steamer Ben Hur is the only packet
running on this end Of the Ohio river that
carries a full stocked bar of liquors. The
packets of the Pittsburg and Cincinnati
packet line years ago had a bar. but it has
been argued in recent years that they are
of little benefit to a steamer. When Capt.
Henderson took charge Of the Pittsburg
and Cincinnati packet line the first thing
he did was to shut them up. and now liquor
is not sold on any of the Cincinnati boats.
The bar used to be a very important ad-
junct to packet. Many of the Southern
packets have done away with the bars it
n is said TO the qualification Of the owners.

There appears to- De a tendency on
tho part of the legislative bosses down
az Charleston TO stretch out the legis-
larve session uuduly. In fact, there
seem To- be a plan on hand even at this
early stage Of the game TO have an eN-
ira session. There have been an UNI

readne bodies of various kinds APP
ro.nted. whose work can certainly not
be- finished during the regular session,

partisan bosses now in control have
done and are doing the best they can
to- stir up partisan strife and feeling,
i'm the belief that they have majority
in the city and that all that is needed
TO win is to get out the vote.
We depend upon the intelligent peo-

we have faith that they will do it.
And the way to DO it is to vote the

hold-up in Washington district. De-
putty Sheriff Llewellyn Lytton, who is
The tax collector for that district, was
on his way home after busy day col
lecting taxes with about $1,000 in his
clothes. At a lonely spot in the road
three men appeared. Two of them
sliced the deputys horse, while the
third ordered him to give up his money,
at the same time holding pistol close
TO his head. Lytton was bundled up
on account of the cold and had his pis-
tol in a pocket with heavy flap that
prevented him from getting at it. He
was compelled to dismount, and while
the attention of his captors was divert
ed. started to run. Several shots were
fired at him. two of which cut his cloth
ing but he did not stop till knocked
down with a club The highwaymen
went through him, finding S65l, and
taking his weapons. The men were
masked and there is no clue.

The weather was not nearly so cold yes
terday morning. as on the two previous
days. The lowest point observed by
Schnepf was above zero. while at the
steel bridge the lowest was 3 above. At
noon it was l. above at Schnepfs. and at
nine o'clock last night there was no
change in the figures. About an inch and

last night.
The sleighing all day and evening was
very fine. and last night many cutters
were on the streets and out the pike, and

The snow spoiled the skating, except in
such small patches Of ice as the boys could
clear of. but coasting on the hillside
streets was prime.
The river is closed above the city and
as a result the ice yesterday was not as
heavy as on the two previous days.

been so suddenly deprived of the compan-
ionship of devoted husband and kind
and indulgent father, and we commend
! them to Him who alone can comfort and
sustain them in this, their hour of grief.
Resolved, That, as tribute to the MEM
ory Of our departed brother. that our char
ter be draped in mourning for thirty days,

tions be furnished the bereaved family
and published in the Sunday Morning
