Daily ChrOnicle of the Movements OF the
Boats and Boatmen.
The river is still stationary at about
thirteen inches, and is lower than it
has been for several years. The rain
which fell throughout the Monongahe-
la and Allegheny valleys Thursday
night came at a most opportune time
and is expected to relieve the present
situation.
1t has been suggested that during
the present low water that it would
be good time for the city to do some
needed dredging along the wharf. AL
though this has never been done, yet
such job has become almost ne
cessity. Boulders and gravel have be-
come washed up to the edge of the
wharf that it is hard frequently for the
packets to make anything like a close
landing to shore. The rivermen think
that while improvements are being
made that the wharf should receive
some attention, for the city derives a
revenue from it and is a commercial
port that furnishes considerable
amount of business for the town

TROUBLE FEARED.
Striking Miners Places at Portland
Taken by Foreigners---The Dis
charged Men Succeed in Keeping
the Foreigners from Going to Work.

Some trouble is feared at the Kelly mines
near Portland, Ohio, up the river short
distance. 1t is stated that the company
his discharged a number of its old en-
ployes who went out on the strike and
have employed a number of foreigners in
their stead. These foreigners are said to
have been imported from Pennsylvania
The displacement has not been meekly ac-
cepted by the discharged employees and
they have adopted measures to keep the
foreigners from going to work.
Yesterday morning they met the for
eigners with a drum corps and horns and
succeeded in keeping them from entering
the mine. 1t is reported that the COM
pany asked the sheriff to dispense the
miners. but they claim that they are not
trespassing and cannot be driven away.

THE Colts CASES
Against Bishop DOnahue and the w. g. Z
q. Railway Dismissed.

IL. railway I1SmlSSeu.
In Police Court, yesterday morning,
the most interesting cases were those
for which warrants were sworn out
by w. j. Colts. Ri. Rev. Bishop Don
ahue was charged with obstructing
Thirteenth street with the new stone
steps at the Cathedral, and the W. & E.
G. Ry. was charged with obstructing
McCulloch street with a platform at
the intersection of Baker and McCuI-
loch.
Supt. Henry Weisgerber appeared
for the w. & E. G. Ry. Co. Bishop
Donahue was represented by Attorney
T. S. Riley. The evidence showed that
the consent of the Board of Public
Works had been secured before the
steps were erected. There was no evil
dence against defendants in either
case to show a violation of the city
ordinances, and Acting Mayor Chew
dismissed both cases, placing the costs
upon Colts.
Mr.. Colts wanted a permit to lay a
pavement around his Baker street
property, and was referred by the
Mayor to the Board of Public Works.
In case he is refused by the B. P. w,
it is understood that Colts next move
will be to prefer charges against the
members of the Board, in the City
Council

The City Council Refunding Com
mittee held a meeting last night.
There were present Messrs. Horkheim-
err, Hazlett, Berry and the City Solici-
tor.
Mr.. Horkheimer stated that he had
a conversation with Messrs. Sands,
Stifel and Peterson, and talked Win
them on the question of the maturity
of the bonds and the manner of draw
ing them A question arose as to tho
right of the city to redeem the BONDS
of the Main street bridge loan, and a
reference to the city ordinance showed
that it states that it must be printed
on the face of the first issue OF DondS,
at least, that they may be redeemed at
the option of the city, at any time alter
the year 1900.
Mr.. Horkheimer stated that the gen.
tlemen whom he named have agreed to
serve as commissioners OF the loan.
He said the committee should fix the
time of maturity and tie compensation
of the commissioners. The compensa-
ton of commissioners of the Main
street bridge loan was One-haif OF one
per cent. on all money disburseG by
them, on the redemption Of the bonds
and payment of the interest.
The blanks for the names of commits
sioners were filled in with Lawrence
Sands, Louis F. Stifel and B. Walker
Peterson Mr.. Ali raised the point
that there should DE a Democrat among
the commissioners, and the politics OF
the three came under discussion Mr.
ALL insisted that all were Republicans,
or at least gold standard Democrats,
which meant the same thing, in his
opinion. Other members of the com
mittee said the only objection they had
heard was BECAUSE t3ere were two
Democrats on tbs c,nm:t ee.
The committee d3t:Cto to provide
for the redemption Oh the bonds III
series, in order that each bond-holder
will know just how long his bond will
run. All bonds in series A will fall
due in ten years, series 3 in eleven
years, and so forth.
The compensation of the commits
siOners was fixed in the ordinance as
three-eighths Of one per cent. on
money disbursed by them, and $50 ad-
ditiona1 for clerk hire.
The committee adjourned about 10
o'clock. Solicitor Nesbitt will prepare
a draft of an ordinance to be submit
ted at the next meeting of Council.

to caring for children during the day
the managers of the Nursery have de-

They have at the present time two chill

to board. The management will also
likely open an employment bureau
this fall for the purpose of helping de-
serving girls to find a good place and

getting positions for girls with good
families, and there is every assurance
that the employment bureau, when es-

considered to rent the lower room Of

An Old Case Settled.

The newly published syllabi Of the
court Of appeals contains a report Of
the long standing case Of Mrs. c. H.
Lebold VS.. D. W. NALL, sheriff. The
court says: "Lebold commenced her
action in replevin against David W.
Nall for possession Of personal prop
erty. Defendant answered that he
held the property by reason Of an ex.
ecution levied in an action against
Conrad H. Lebold, that the property
was the property Of Conrad H. Lebold
and subject to levy. Evidence exam
ined and held that there is no evil
dence in the case tending to show that
that the property was the property Of
Conrad H. Lebold, or that the prop
erty was subject to said execution,
and that the evidence does not prove
or tend to prove any fact or state Of
facts upon which the jury could have
found for the defendant; therefore,
the court properly instructed the jury
to return verdict for the plaintiff. "
