A Steamboat in the Woods.

The Pittsburg towboat Tornado,
which started out from Pittsburg with
a tow cf coal several weeks ago, and
winch was obliged to abandon the trip
a few miles below Parkersburg, on ac-
count of low water, is, according to
report from Captain Harry Rlgdon, the
popular local coal eager. literally
steamboat in the woods. Captain Rig
don recently spent a day on the Tor
nado gaglng the coal in her tow which
now belongs to Che Plttsburg coal
combine, and he enjoyed the day very
much. He says there is a crew of sew
en- men on the Tornado and tow, and
as there is not enough water for the
boat to move, all the crew has to do is
to keep the barges pumped out, which
does not take much time, and then go
hunting in the surrounding woods,
winch abound in game. Captain Rig
don did not have time to go hun.ing
with the boys, but they assured him
that they had no difficulty in keeping
themselves supplied with game
brought down by their own good
craftsmanship. The boys on the boat
are thoroughly enjoying their enforced
stay on that lonely part of the river.
and are really making a vacation out
OF what might otherwise prove a most
unpleasant sojourn.-Cin. Com. Trib.

River Firemen Strike.

The flremen employed on the tow
boa.s halllng from the Pittsburg har-
bor went out on a strike yesterday
morning Heretofore the men have
been working for $40 and $50 month,
the new scale, as agreed upon by the
Firemens' Beneficial Association, calls
for each man to get $50 a month, or
50 a day A mee.ng Of the assocla-
tion is scheduled for tonight, to be ad
dressed by a member of the American
Federation of Labor. At tonlghts
mee..ng cards will be issued to the
members, and no fireman Will then be
permibteL to work unless the scale
price is paid Union firemen will not
be permitted to work with non-unlon
wages, and then non-union men must
be members of the association. There
does not seem to be a clear under
stanaIng between boat owners and the
firemen The owners claim to have
received no direct intimation from the
firemen that they were dissatisfied
with the former wages paid; they say
that instead the hremen referred their
grievances to the engineers. Boat
owners claim that had the flremen
come to them direct the matter could
have been settled to the satisfaction of
both opera and firemen. 1t Is aid,
however, that the owners, have been
anticipating the strike of the flremen,
and that number of negroes have
been brought from Cincinnati and
elsewhere, to take their places. While
this report could not be confirmed,
number of negroes were on hand yes
terday morning and went to work on
the boats. 1t is reported that one of
| the firemen succeeded in inducing sew
en- of the negroes to leave the boats.
The firemen say they will not go to
work unles sthe increase is granted
tLem. The boat owners, on the other
hand, have nothing to say on the mat
ter. Many rivermen think that the
trouble will be amicably settled before
boating stage arrives.-Plttsburg

The Ohio Mahdi.

"AS THE MOST DEPRAVED AND
VICIOUS HORDES FROM THE RE-
GIONS Of THE DAMNED SEEMED
TO BE TURNED LOOSE UPON THE
SAVIU-- OF MEN 1900 YEARS AGO,
so NOW, THE SAME CLASS ARE
TURNED LOOSE ON HIS MOST
NOTABLE APOSTLE OF MODERN
TIMES, SAMUEL NJ. JONES"
lhis remarkable piece Of sacrilege is
from an article in the personal organ
of Mayor Jones, The Coming Time"
which is published and widely circu-
lated at Mr.. Jones's expense. The ar
ticle throughout bears the marks of
having been written by Jones himself,
but if ne did not write it, he at least
sanctioned and endorsed it by widely
circulating the paper which contained
1t, which is devoted exclusively to
booming Mr.. Jones's gubernatorial
canGldacy.
he sacrilegious comparison, shock
ing as it must be to every reasonable
man, is not surprising to those who
have carefully observed the develop
men. Of the Jones movement. Mr..
Jones, from the beginning, has ap-
pealed not merely to the religious in
stlnct, but to the latent fanatlcism of
,.-e people. This proclamation OF him
self as Chrlst's most notable apostle
of modern times in its way resembles
the fanatical assumption OF the Mahdi,
whose pretentions as prophet arous-
e dthe Moslem dervishes of the Soudan
to wild revolt and bred the crazlest
fanaticism OF modern times.
We have no quarrel with Mr.. Jones,
but what ever virtue he may possess
we submit that such self-exaltation as
thIs sInacks more of the quack ''di-
vine healer" going about and profess
sing to work miracles, and imposing
on the creduilty of the ignorant, than
1t does of a sane and sincere man
askln gthe people to entrust him with
the grave responsibilities of the gov
ernorshIp Of Ohio.
The man whose conception of him
self has reached the height that he
proclaims himself Christ's most not
abe apostle OF modern times" and
compares the criticism OF a political
canvass with the cruclhxion of the
Savior of mankind, can hardly be tax
