The most wonderful spectacle
ever Witnessed by the people of
this vicinity, resulted from the vast
ice gorge. Masses of ice driven
down by the SWIFT current and re-
tarded by the Sliding Hill bend,
piled up to the thickness of twenty
feet AT the time the ice began to
move a portion with an area of two
acres or more reminded in the
midst of the stream Old river men
claim it viii take ten feet Of water

The damage done in this bend
has been estimated as follows:

Consumers Coal and Mining Com
pany, $1,000. The ice piers at
Hartford were not used and it is

THE RIVERS.

=
Matters Of Interest TO steamhoatmen.
The rain with which we have
been visited the last few days has
been general all over southern
West Virginia.
The Crown Hill was taken off
the ways at Fulton Sunday and
will be taken to Portsmouth. where
she will receive a battery of new
boilers, the present ones having
been ON her for the past 16 years.
The condition of the river, as far
as rising is concerned, is practically
stationary, and as its headwaters,
both in this State and Pennsylva-
MIA, are subsiding somewhat, all
immediate danger of a flood in
this vicinity has safely passed.
The Government Engineers have
come on and located ice piers to
be built by the Government the
coming summer, just above the
coal tipple at Syracuse, and as the
river men and coal operators claim,
in a faulty position. The one
great mistake these engineers make
in all cases, is getting the piers
too close to the shore A petit
ton is being circulated in the
above case already for change in
location.

The Last Stevenson Romance.
Among the several works left by
Robert Louis Stevenson unpublish-
ed at his death, undoubtedly the
one of completest and widest inter
est is a romance entitled .St. Ives. !"
Unlike "Weir of Hermiston," the
only other novel left by Stevenson
unpublished, "St. Ives" was left all
but complete; and it is. those say
who have read it, straight-away,
honest tale of adventure, related in
Stevenson's most spirited and
charming vein. Its q love story,
and records, in particular, the ex-
PLOTS of very cool, audacious, at
tractive French soldier who be-
comes a prisoner of war in Edin-
burgh Castle. The exclusive right
of serial publication of s'St. Ives
for America, was purchased soon
after Steyenson's death by Nc
CIure's Magazine and the publicas
ton will begin in the March NUM-
Der of that periodical.
