DISAPPOINTED
Are the Rivermen Over the Result of
the Rainfall May Only Bring Five
Feet at Pittsburg- Other River
Items.

PITTSBURG, Pa, November 1.-The
heavy rains Of yesterday and this morn
ing attracted hundreds of rivermen to
the Pittsburg wharf, in anticipation of
a rise, but it is thought that unless the
rainfall at up-river stations continues
the Ohio river at Davis Island dam
will not reach stage of over feet
of water. This will be sufficient to
float the towboat Relief which has
been aground at Duff for about ten
weeks. At times the boat was entirely
out of water. During her sojourn on
the sand, the steamer was painted and
put in good repair and the boat is ex-
pected to be afioat tonight. The beat
will float when the gauge at Davis ISL
and dam reaches stage of 3.S feet.
The rainfall while heavy at nearly
all up-riyer stations was disappoint-
ment to the rivermen. Only slight
rises are reported, but it is said that
all of the rain that fell has not yet
had chance to reach the rivers. West
Newton reported the heaviest precipi-
tation, 2.02 inches, and Freeport 180
inches. AT a. m. rain was reported
as falling at all points on the upper
Allegheny river and its tributay les.
Rivermen confidently believe that if
another general rain occurs within a
few days, the desired rise in the river
will take place.
There is marine law which provides
that one master. two pilots and two
engineers must be employed on all
steamers of ten tons or over. 1t is said
that this law has been violated for the
past 80 years by some boat owners
Several steamboatmen have called the
attention of the local steamboat inspec-
tors to the matter and it is said that
prosecutions are threatened. Some of
the boats have been running single
crews and the rivermen fearing that
the river combination might employ
tactics of the kind to save expenses;
thus doing away with a number of men,
brought the attention of the matter to
the steamboat inspectors. Boat own
ers are liable to a fine of 500 for vio-
lating the act.

pennsylvania COMPANY
Recognizes the Ability Ct a Former
Martins Ferry Man.
CHARLES E. MKIM ADVANCED TO
SUPERINTENDENT OF TELE-
GRAPH FOR ALL LINES WEST
OF PITTSBURGH DESERVED
PROMOTION-0THER RUMORED
CHANGES.


There has for some time past been
rumors abroad among the employees of
the Cleveland and Pittsburg railroad on
the Chic side of the river TO the effect
that some important promotions would
be made before snow flies. 1t was, of
course. understood that changes were
about to be contaminated, and al
though not officially stated, it was con-
jectured that some of the veteran rail-
road men would be the recipients of
the high positions of trust which were
needing to be filed. With that peculiar
instinct which is characteristic of the
capable official who feels himself in
line for higher duties, there has been
much speculation as to whom the
lucky parties would be that should be
called upon to advance a round on the
ladder over which all at some time or
another hope to ascend. 1t can now
be authoritatively stated that former
Martins Ferry man, and a gentleman
who has stood high in the estimation of
the Pennsylvania Company, will be ad-
vanced to one of the very best posi-
tons ON the entire system. The gem
tleman is Mr.. Charles Z. McKim, who
has for number of years been divi-
sion operator, with headquarters at
at Wellsville, Ohio. According to in
formation secured yesterday morning,
Mr.. McKim will be promoted to the
office Of general superintendent of tele-
graph of all lines of the Pennsylvania
Company west of Pittsburg, succeeding
Mr. A. M. Schoyer. The place carries
with it salary Of something like $1,000
a year, with travelling expenses and in
cidentals. The selection viii be heart
lily approved by the host of employees
who have served under Mr.. McKim,
and will be very gratifying to his many
friends over the river and along the
line of the C. G P where he is person.
ally known and his ability recognized.
Mr. McKim is a son of George Nc
Kim, of Martins Ferry. and began his
railroad career as operator at his home
town after learning the business with
his brother at Portland Station back in
the early 70's. He has applied himself
strictly to duty and his acceptable SER
vice and efficiency has gradually been
rewarded by a steady advance to his
present position Of trust and emolu-
ment. He was the first operator at the
Western Union Office at Martins Ferry
on a meagre salary, and his successful
career is a good one for the beginner of
to-day to emulate. The appointment
was made by General Manager L. F.
Loree, of Pittsburg, where Mr. McKim
will also hereafter have his headquar-
tiers. His friends believe his merit will
win for him still more distinguished
recognition.

that Mr.. c. w. Taylor, of Brilliant, will
be brought to the Martins Ferry office
Both are highly deserving and merit

A commercial traveller who was put

a curious contrivance 20 some friends
the other evening, says the New Orleans
fines Democrat. 1t consisted of a
metal reel almost eight inches long,
bolted securely to one Of the inside cor

wound about 100 feet of steel wire, ter

"The best that can be said Of the
clothes imported by American men
from London is that they are well

New York, who has spent years abroad
in the study of the hospitals, TO aPhh-
adelphia North American man. "They
never fit. Indeed, the art OF misfit
seems to be carefully studied. The gar
ments of both men and women never set
well, and even the actresses, who are
supposed to be exacting, suffer from
the inability or ~indisposition of the
English tailors to fit the figure. The
finish, however, shows fine and thor
ough workmanship. The French
achieve better fits, but the work is
atrocious, making the best garments
look cheap and hurried. Not ever i'm

tailors and dressmakers surpass every
thing in Europe in making a tit, and the
finish compares favorably with the Eng

garments made by Poole and other

or two ago, when the latter refused to
touch them at any price"

4 ell-known Albany angler had a
unique experience this summer trout
fishing up in Canada, says the Argus of
that city. He was sent out from camp
20 catch a mess for supper. He was fish

At the first east his fly was taken 10y a

water TO grab II. lie evidently got the
leader on n slack" before the line was
frightened from the rod, Hs he snapped

the two flies and broken leader trailing
behind. Next day the angler revisited
the lake, and as he was looking over the
side of the boat be espied In 10 or -
feet of water the big trout that had
taken his leader the night before. 4
closer examination revealed that his
troutship was safely hitched to the dead
branch OF q tree which hadFfallen into
the water. In, swimming Hbout'oue of
the two free hooks on the leader had
