No definite conclusion was arrived 1t
last night at the meeting OF the Ben
wood council committee on ordinances,
which met to consider the proposed re-
moval OF The wheeling Railway com-
pany'a tracks from Main street in the
central portion OF the industrial town,
70 a location on the hillside east Of and
running parallel with the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, the company desiring to
change In order to avoid the dangerous
schad's crossing. Il was an executive
session. and Attorney ]. J. coniG. for
the railway company stated that the
company was not disposed to accept the
compromise suggested at the last COM
mlttee meeting. The compromise prop
Oslhon was in effect that the company
was to be given the privilege Of laying
tracks ON the hillside, providing It ran
a car every seven minutes around the
loop on the present system, from
schad's crossing TO Seventh street,
which is the lines present terminus,
and that tcansfers be given.
Nj. conlR was averse to the transfer
feature, while being agreeable In the
main to the rest Of the compromise
oner. No action was taken by the
committee, which adjourned With the
understanding that there would be an
other meeting before the next regular
session OF the Benwood council, which
occurs next Tuesday night. This coun-
Gil meeting, from all Indications will
be a hot one, as Benwood is greatly
stirred up over the controversy, noth-
ing else being talked Of In the town

posed. Last fall the Moundsvllle. Benz

COLONEL sTRoNG's DOLLAR.
A Famous Coin Owned by the Late
Mayor of New York.
(From the New York Press.

F'rom the New York Press)
One of Colonel Strong's possessions of
which he was extravagantly proud was an
1904 dollar" He wore IT in his pocket
for many years and valued it at 5000.
It's market price is considerably less,
though 1t is said there are only three
such dollars in existence few years
ago l could trace seven. One is in the
mint cabinet at Philadelphia. the second
belonged to NJ. A. Stickney, the third to
". S. Appleton, the fourth to L. G. Parme-
lee. the fifth to W. b. Wetmore, the sixth
to Col. W. L. Strong. and the seventh to
a Mr.. Scott. of Philadelphia. Colonel
Strong's was formerly in the cabinet of

was sold for 81, 200. Our grand old mayor
used to ring 1t upon the table at RIGHT ar's
cafe, where he went daily to eat his Dor
ton of crackers and milk when the govt

One of the mysteries is the disappear
ance of the dollar of 1904 and their ficti-
tious value today. There were issued from
the mint no less than 19, $40 of them. Some
say that almost the entire mintage was

tain that the mintage OF 1906 included this
nintage, or a part Of It; the records show
that only 321 silver dollars were coined
in 1905. At any rate, the 1904 dollar" is
commonly known among numismatists as
the king of rare American coins. Another
mystery is that this coin has not been
counterfeited, as were valuable ancient
coins from the fifteenth century down.

They are unable to throw out the impure

A PLUCKY LITTLE FERRY MAID.
A sIxteen-Yenr-OId Girl Has the
Most Popular Boat on the Ohio.
From the Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph

(From the Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph.)
Young in years, but full Of vigor and
buoyancy Of youth, pretty Bertha Walz,
girl of sixteen, has career as ferry maid
on the Ohio river that for the novelty Of its
features is rarely surpassed.
For months the young girl has been the
sole support Of her mother, younger sister,
and brother. Week in and week out. I'M
aided and alone, she has piled her big ferry
skiff back and forth across the Ohio to Sc
cure means for providing for her helpless
mother and sister.
Bertha lives with her mother in an old,
but neat appearing. house boat on the
banks of the Ohio River near the Pressed
Steel Car Company's works, in lower Allie
gheny. This boat has been her home for
the past six years.
The idea of running a regular ferry
came to her through the suggestions OF
mill men who cross the river at this point
to the McKee's Rocks side to and from
their work in the big mills.
Partly through the efforts of generous
contributors a skif was procured and the
girl entered upon new career. She
found her task rather arduous at first,
and her fair young hands were covered
with many a blister at the end OF day.
toll. But soon the muscles of her arms
babe fair to rival those Of the crack oars
man of a varsity crew. Now she thinks
nothing of rowing six or eight stalwart
men over the river on a single trip. Some
DAYS she makes as many as forty trips,
and has been known to take in as much
as SO a day as a result of her toll.
Tile widespread popularity of her ferry,
however, aroused the ire Of less favored
ferrymen living in sLanty boats near by.
First. her best skiff was stolen, and later
a new one was turned loose on the river
Finally she was not permitted to land her
skiff al the McKee's Rocks shore at the
large landing, but was made to run her
boat in at some obscure point. Consider
able trouble arose over the ownership and
use of Il pair of wooden steps leading down
the river embankment to the shore. The
climax was reached one night last week.
Richard Griffeths, ferryman, tried to lay
violent hands on her. Only the timely ap-
pcararce of mill man and the presence
of her faithful dog, which usually accom-
panies her for protection. saved her from
serious injury at his lands. AS result,
suit was promptly entered against Griffeths
on charge of disorderly conduct before
Alderman Lynch. At the hearing Griffeths
was fined SO and costs, or twenty days in
Jail. The steps claimed by Griffeths as
personal property were declared to be Gov
srnment property. and it was decreed that
the fair prosecutor was fully entitled to
their use
