PITTSBURGH, March e6.-The Pitts
burSh steamboats, Tornado and Fallie
were fired upon last night at Mounds
Vile. w. Va. whose citizens feared that
the wash OF the boats might further en-
danger the flooded portion OF Mounds
Vile. a fusillade was opened on the
boats from he Virginia shore without
the slightest warning.
Both boats had conveys OF empty coal
barSes under way to Pittsburgh. Cap
tain Kitchen. OF the Tornado. reports
positively that the firing was the work
OF a militia company In uniforms. He
so reported to John Il. Jones, manager
OF the coal shipping firm in this city,
who owns the vessels.
Manager Jones say The United States
government will be asked to investigate,
as river navigation is under the care of
the federal government. Mr.. Jones said:
las no warning was given the firing
va an outrage and luck saved U
crews from injury. The boats were not
subjected TO the leaden rain until al
most opposite MoundsviNe, and were
promptly laid up for the night Captain
Kitchen states positively that the shoot
ing was done by the regularly organized
militia company Of Moundsville. which
is attached 10 the National Guard of
West Virginia The company was In
Uniform"
Doubtless the peculiar language OF the
denial BY the company's captain that
Guns of the militia were used. caused the
steamboatmen to make such a serious
charge against the company. The en-
tire matter will probably be aired at the
Wheeling term OF, the federal court,
which begins Tomorrow.

VACANT CIRCUIT JUDGEsHIP.
Action OF the Allegheny Dar-Judge
Anderson Mentioned.

CONVICTION, VA, August 2O.-tSpecial)
The news of the death OF Hon. William
Mclaughlin. Judge of the Circuit Court of
this county. reached here by telephone
yesterday morning. 1t was great
shock to his many friends in this vicinity.
and was the principal topic of converse
ton on the streets to-day. The Circuit
Court OF this county, OF which he was
Judge, was to meet on Wednesday next,
and for some time past the lawyers and
others having business before the tribu-
nal have been busy preparing their cases.
1t was not even known in the neighbour
hood that Judge Mclaughlin was sick.
A meeting of the bar and officers Of the
courts of Allegheny county was held at
the courthouse yesterday afternoon at
o'clock. for the purpose of taking action
in regard to his death and funeral. Judge
George X. Anderson was called TO the
chair and Mr.. j. j. Hobbs, clerk OF the
court, was appointed secretary. The OBJ
ject of the meeting was stated by the
chairman, and thereupon eulogistic resO-
utions were unanimously adopted.
There is considerable speculation as 10
who will be called on to fill the vacancy
in the judgeship. II seems to be the con-
sensus Of opinion here, however that tho
appointment of Judge George *. Ander-
son. Of Clifton Forge, would be an emf
nently proper one. Should he ask the APP
pointment he will receive the unanimous
endorsement Of the bar here.
