PITTSBURG, July 26.-River men
are busy again making preparations for
a rise in the Ohio which, it is predicted,
will come on account Of the brisk rains
on the upper Allegheny and Mononga-
hela. From many of the up-river
towns yesterday afternoon heavy rains
were reported, and the river men are
in hopes that the showers will make
enough water for good coal shipment
Millions of bushels of coal are now
loaded and waiting for a barge stage,
and it is said that more than 1L,000,000
bushels will be hurried south in the
event of good stage in the river The
empty coal boats for the up-river mines
are getting scare and unless a rise
comes allowing some of the loaded craft
to get down the stream and back again.
some of the mines of the combine will
have to be closed.
The Greenwood is due tonight from
KanaWha river and will return to-mor-
row.
Work has been commenced on the
new bridge that is to span the Ohio
river at Marietta.
The only tOwboat said to be moving
on the upper Ohio is the Cruiser. She
is coming homeward with empties, and
passed Ravenswood last night. 1t is
rumored the steamer got aground lis
morning, but the report lacked verifi-
cation. The Raymond Horner, after
cleaning boilers, left Memphis for
Louisville last evening. She has been
trailing behind the other steamers on
the trip up from New Orleans. The
John A. Wood has laid up on the lower
Ohio. Capt. l.. N. Speer, master of
the boat, came home by rail last night

gineer, died at Cairo on Monday last
He was an engineer on a gunboat dur

Capt. Gordon Green's new water
packet Cricket will soon be completed
at Gallipolis, where she is receiving her
machinery. She will take the place OF
the Greenwood during the low water
season.
The U. S. snagboat Woodruff is due
at Cairo Wednesday, and will COM

The Lorena is laid up at Evansville,

IN IMPORTANT DECISION
HANDED DOWN YESTERDAY ny
THE SUPERIOR COURT
aA OF APPEALS
IN THE FAMOUS HAzLETT CASE
Higher Court Refused to Uphold
the Findings of the County Court.
Seven of the Exceptions Taken by
the Defense Were Sustained.

A telegram was received IN this city
yesterday bearing the intelligence that
the Superior Court Of Appeals of Penn
sylyania, sitting yesterday morning in
Philadelphia, had not only reversed the
decision of the Washington county
(Pa) court in the Maj. Samuel Hazlett
case, but also in the Streator.
In the first hearing of the case against
Mr.. Hazlett the county court acquitted
him. Forty indictments had been re-
turned against him by the grand jury
on the charge of receiving deposits as
a banker when he was insolvent and
when he knew he was insolvent. He
was acquitted on the first charge in
May, 1899.
He was again called in August trial
on second indictment and the de-
Tense continued the case In Novem-
Der his case was taken up again and he
was sentenced to Is months imprison-
ment in the Allegheny penitentiary, and
to pay STA in costs He was never in
Jail day, an appeal being taken the
very day on which he was sentenced.
The cause was argued in Williams
port by Bane, of Washington, and Col.
W. w. Arnett, of this city, counsel for
the defense, in February, 1900, and de-
cided yesterday.
The defense was sustained in seven
of its exceptions, their main exception
being the fact that the banking bust
ness in Washington, Pa, was CO.
partnership of the other members of the
family, and they were as much respon-
sible for the liabilities as MIR. Hazlett.
The fortunes of the several members
of the family cover the liabilities more
than ten times over and therefore there
could be no insolvency.
Mr.. Streator, whose case was also re-
versed yesterday, was charged along
with Mr.. Kay, of Pittsburg, with having
talked with the jury that acquitted
Major Ha2lett on the first hearing, and
was sentenced by the Washington coun-
ty court to prison and to pay a heavy
fine. The superior court likewise re-
versed the decision, finding him not
guilty.
The Hazlett case has excited the
greatest interest in Western Pennsyl-
vania and West Virginia, where the
defendant has numerous friends and re-
latives. He Is sixty-eight years old
At one time he was one of the most in
fiuential and wealthy men in Pennsyl-
vania. He has been in the banking
business for half century, and during
all that time, Notwithstanding the nu-
merous panics, and when he announc-
ed in March, 1898, that he would dis
continue the banking business, there
had never been a reflection on his
character nor a stain on his honor
In the light of yesterdays decision,
his counsel, according to Col. Arnett,
are of the opinion that it would be i'm
possible to convict him again of any
thing.
