LOTS OF COAL
Loaded In Pittsburg HarbOr. But No
Water to Float II Out-Rise Will
BE SIight-Riyer News


While the morning reports show that
the Monongahela and Allegheny rivers are
rising slightly. little encourageme is Of
fered the Ohio river Steamboatmen. The
packet men are jubiant, as just enough
water is coming to insure a continuance
of navigation for their boats. The coal
men, however, are doomed to diEappoint-
ment and it will take much more rain to
bring the Ohio river up to a naVigable
stage for the shipping OF barses and coal
boats
1t is estimated that there are 10000 600
bushels of coal loaded and waiting ship
ment and the residents of the South are
fearful of a coal famine. There is less
than a three weeks supp-y at Cincinnati
and Louisville and the Monongahela Riv-
er Consolidated Coal and Coke Co. must
ship 3o.000,000 bushels of coal this year,
besides what has gone south, before they
have reached the limit OF average yearly
shipments. The amount usually shipped
south each year is S0,o00o0o and $4,000 900
bushels OF this has been sent out.
Monday there were only SO coal boats
and 113 bargcs OF coal at Cincinnati which
i. less than 5000 bushels. There is not a
lump of coal at Louisville for New Or
leans shipment. The river consolidation
Is mining much coal at present and the
mines in the fourth pool are particularly
active. Capt. Hugh Horen said that there
was considerable coal loaded, but could
not state the exact amount. On account
of the slight rise coming out of the Mo-
nongahela river. word was sent to all
mines to load all flats to their full capac-
ity.

Political Matters.

In answer to the inquiry as to who
would likely be candidates in the First
Congressional district to represent the
district and State at large in the Kan
sas City convention, Hon. T. S. Riley
said:
Il understand that the name of John
a. Howard, of Ohio county, will be pre-
sented to the convention as one of the
delegates to represent the First Con-
gressional district, and as far as
know there will be no opposition to
him. I learn that the people in the
lower end of the district will present
the name of Judge John Brannon, of
Weston, for delegate-at-large. Judge
Brannon is an able man and a Demo-
crat of long standing, and always has
been faithful to his party, and if he is
a candidate this honor should be con-
ferred upon him without opposition.
Several others have been discussed as
the other district delegate, among
whom is DR.. West, of Sistersville.
have known DR.. West in politics for
about fifteen years. and always found
him very active and faithful, and will
ing to do what his party required of
him, and as far as 1 Know he has not
been a candidate heretofore for any
position. The party, in my judgment,
could not make a better selection.
TOO much care cannot be exercised
