The Wheeling and BellaiTe wharf

result Of The breakup Of the ice IN the
upper Ohio river yesterday morning.
The big ice gorge at Glendale held until
, a. m. yesterday. causing an unnatural
rise Of three feet or more in the river.
The whsrsboats were held close in to
the bank IL order to be protected from
the passing ice. and when the gorge let

at Wheeling and Bellaire, leaving both
boats almost entirely out Of the water.
The Wheeling wharfboat Is resting cas-
lIy on a bed Of ice. and the Bellaire boat
IS also In q fairly good berth. Both
boata, II Is expected. will be afOat to-
day or tomorrow. as a pretty good rise

from the Allegheny. will insure a good
boating stage by the close Of the week.
II is too early TO predict the amount Of
water coming. but the Pittsburgh coal
men are anticipating at least barge
shipping stage there, which will mean
fifteen feet or more here.
The river reached a stage Of over 70
feet here before the gorge at Glendale
broke. Then there was sudden fall 70
10 feet. and at p. m. the river was still
falling slowly, with feet on the marks.
The ice was pretty thick from II a. m.

Had His Preliminary.

Joseph Messenhammer, the much
marie man, had his preliminary hear
ing here Monday. His former wife came
down from Pacolet, she was accompanied
by Rev. J. w. Walker, of Spartanburg.
and Mr.. w. ID. KIRBY, all of whom
Identified Messenhammer as The man
who Rev. Mr.. Walker married to Miss
Dovey Walker at Gaffney some three
years ago. blessenhammer was remanded
TO Jail to await his trial at the June
term of court.
1t seems that Messenhammer went by
the name Of Enoch NJ M:ssenhammer at
Gaffney. He married this young lady
and lived with her three months. lie
then left telling her he was going to hunt
work and wou.d send for her. He staid
away nearly year, he had drawn his
and his wife's money from the mill when
he left. He returned and said he had
hard luck and asked her forgiveness,
which was granted Of course, aud after
some months he left again and staid
away until some four or five months ago,
lie returned but his wife would have
nothing further TO do with him. He
then came to Union and cOurted and
| mai ritd Miss Amanda Bates. The law
can hardly be too severe In its treatment of
one who can willfully rob trusting girl of
that which is more to her than anything
in the world besides-her virtue. For a
man to marry girl, knowing at the
same time that he is married, deserves
| punishment little short Of that belong
