The Best They Ever Saw.

This was the verdict of the inspect
ors who inspected the City of Pittsburg
They had been here since Saturday,
and completed the work Monday
morning. Old steamboat men who
watched the inspectors say it was the
most complete they ever saw, every de-
tail being carefully and thoroughly
gone over. The inspectors say they
never inspected battery of boilers as
good as these. They tested lem at 29G
pounds and found them without IA leak
of any description. The boilers when
filled with water weigh 120 tons and it
was found necessary to put hog chains
through the hull in order to more
equally distribute the weight. This
work will be done while the boat is en-
route to Pittsburg SO that by the time
she is ready to return she will be in
first-class shape.

TUESDAY, MARCH 2L 1899.
Admitted to Bail,

Birdie Willis, who was bound over to
court by A. ID. Hopper, j. p, of Mata-
moras, for malicious destruction OF
property, was released Monday by
Probate Judge Rood on bond of $50 be-
ing given by mir. BurgDacher, of Mata-
moras.
Mr.. Burgbacher, although much old
er than Mss Willis, intends making
her his wife, and because of this inten-
tion his family does not like Miss Will
lis, and according to Mr.. Burgbacher's
theory the suit was brought by them
out of malice.
Mr.. Bursbacher has also brought
suit in Common Pleas Court to have a
deed set aside, in which he transferred
some property in Matamoras to his
children, and which deed he claims
they or some one obtained burglar
iously and had recorded without hav-
ing paid him the consideration stip-
uiated

THE START.
The City Of Pittsburg Leaves Her
MooringS for the Trial Trip.

The much -talked-of event, really the
all-absorbing topic, for the past few
days has been, DO you know when
the big boat leaves?"
The interest OF men, women and
children has centered in the leviathan
of the Ohio river, and there has been
great crowds OF persons visiting her
from day to day where she lay under
going the various operations to make
her model craft anu the largest one
on this end OIL the river and only third
in size on the inland waters of the
United States. -
At first the intention was to have
her ready for the Madrl Gras, but fail
ing in that, her owners saw the posi-
billties of novel and stupendous ex-
cursion from Pittsburg to New Or
leans when she was finally finished.
1t was thought that she would be
ready to leave Saturday, Dut the num-
erous little vexatious delays which are
always likely to arise kept ner here
until midnight Monday night, when
steam was turned into her cylinders
and she moved off in elegant style, as
though feeling all the majesty of her
Incompatible strengt and beauty.
A large crowd was on board when
the start was made and came across to
the wharfboat.
Captain Phillips, who is in Plttsburg,
advised Captain Scott that he has 1SO
passengers booked for the round trip
to New Orleans and mas also 10000
kegs of nails. The indications are
that she will have the biggest cargos
that ever went down the Ohio river.

mains at the gas we'll on the Fagan
