RIVER NEWS.
Daily Chronicle of tho Movements OF the
Goats and Boatmen.

Goats and Boarmen.
A very queer ferry craft, but adapted
to the present low stage of water, is
plying between the Top Mill landing
and Martins Ferry, in place Of the Cli-
max, which cannot run with the pres
ent stage The New Idea" as it is
called, works its way across the river
by means of light rope cable, which
winds and unwinds itself around
wheel at the side of the boat. This
rope and heavier cable on the other
side serves as the propelling, or, rather.
the drawing power, and also guides the
boat across the river The cables are
stretched from shore to shore and run
on pulleys at each end of the boat. The
only machinery is small engine
which operates the wheel which winds
and unwirJs the lighter cable.
Major y. H. Heurer, in charge OF
the improvements of the Ohio River,
has advertised for bids for the building
of dams 2, 3, and 5, which must be
built to complete the slackwater sys-
tenn between the Davis Island dam and
Merrill. 1t is the intention of the gov
eminent to commence the building OF
the four dams simultaneously and
complete them in less than two years.
Provision for the cost of building
them was made in the last river and
harbor bill. S1,990000 having been al
lotted for the purpose.
The government will this week re-
move the wreck of the stranded model
barge from the channel of the river be-
low the Merrill dam. The Pittsburg
Coal Exchange held a meeting and re-
quested the government to have it re-
moved, as in the event of a rise it
would prove a menance to navigation.
The government, however, had pre-
viously decided to take 1t out Of the
way All the steel rails were removed
from the barge Friday, and it will
only take two days to remove the
wreck.
Capt William Martin says that the
dredging being done at Merrill for the
purpose of making channel for boats,
in order to enable them to enter the
upper end of the lock at that place,
will likely be completed before navi-
cation is resumed. In that event
boats will be able to pass through the
locks as we'll as run along that por-
ton of the south shore of the Ohio,
which is being left open while the
Canoine dam is being built. The river
will also be improved on the south
shore.

RESULT OF A DOG BITE.

Scranton, Pa, September 2S.-Phy-
sicians were to-day called to attend
John F. Jordan, of this city, whose
ten-year-old 'son was on Friday night
the second person to die out of eleven
bitten by mad bull dog last March.
During his rawlings the little fellows
teeth grazed his fathers arm. 1t was
antiseptically treated at the time and
no further attention given to it until
to-day, when the arm showed an I'M
mistakable swelling and was quite
painful. Three physicians have con-
suited on the case, and if they are
unable to cope with it, Jordan will be
taken to New York City for Pasteurs
treatment.

Captain +. w Collier, editor and

TOR the appointment of governor OF
New Mexico under the Mckinley ad-
ministration. Captain Collier is well
qualified for the Office, aud his appoint
ment would give great satisfaction to
his friends, and to the residents Of the
Territory. He would be popular
and efficient governor. And as he is
an Ohio man and an enthusiastic
original Mckinley man, his paper being
the first in the Territory to hoist the
name of Mckinley for the nomination,
and is enthusiastically indorsed and
recommended by a large following OF
the most infdential m 9n in the Ter

poinlment is among the best. We hops
he may succeed.

OUR COST DEFENsHs.


WASHINGTON, d. O., January 81 =
Reports more or less copious Of the
proceedings OF the Coast Defense con-
vention, now In progress at Tampa,
Florida, will, as matter OF course, 60
from the English, German, Russian,
Spanish and other embassies in this
city to their respective governments.
Increases in the army and navy or 10
Notifications, or popular complaint
concerning unprotected coasts, are
among the particular things concern
ing which the ministers accredited to
this country are expected to report,
and 1t will not be surprising II they
make the most Of the present oppor-
tunily.
In official circles here, there is a
pronounced feeling that the promoters
of the Tampa conference have beer
doing too much talking, and that NO
good is likely to result from Informing
the European powers that New Orleans
is in 4 defenseless condition, that
Tampa Bay is absolutely without pro-
lection, and that Seattle, Tacoma and
the mouth of the Columbia are all
open to unresisting capture. Nobody
magines that any foreign power is
itching for chance to shake up Uncle
Sam, and consequently glad to get
from his own people information con-
cerning his vulnerable points, but
nevertheless the opinion prevails in q
good many circles that the Florida
movement and the statements it has
evoked are not especially well-timed
