SUSPICIOUS CONDUCT
OF TWO MEN LED TO THEIR Ar
REST IN BRIDGEPORT YES
TERDAY MORNING.
THEY WERE BENT ON MISCHIEF
Is the Opinion of lhe Officials of the
c. L. d W.-The Men Boarded an
Engine-A Safe Which Disappears
ed MysteriousIy-One Man Has an
APPARENT Mania for Misconduct
Along Railroad Lines.

About one o'clock Tuesday morning
the workmen employed about the G.
L. & w. round house in Bridgeport
noticed two men acting suspiciously
about the yards. 1t was noticed that
they boarded an engine and found
workman on same. They soon retired
but took with them a coupling pin.
The two then walked out the track
about as far as DEVILS Elbow.
They soon returned and still loiter-
ed around the yards on their return.
Engineer Gill became suspicious and
went all over the switches but found
them all O. K AT this time the yard
crew concluded to secure the men and
did SO, taking them into the round
house. They held them until the arriv-
al of Marshal Douds, who had been
telephoned for.
One man was identified as Coon"
Ritter, of the Island, and the other
gave the name of Frank Owens. of
Pittsburg. Both were locked up and it
was not learned what action the rail-
road company would take.
After the arrests the safe in one of
the baggage cars was found missing,
and after diligent search it was found
several yards away from the track
in the weeds. This adds more suSpic-
ion to their actions and makes their
case look very bad, as they spent sew
eral hours in the yard, it being after
three O'Clock when they were arrested.
Ritner has been in trouble before and
was arrested abou. two years ago for
wrecking a c. L. & w. train near
Wheeling Creek hut was cleared in
the case, owing to insufficient evidence.
He was arrested by Marshal Burns, OF
Martins Ferry, and the case at that
time called forth much comment.
Burns claimed he had the right man,
which afterwards proved true. r
About six months later Marshal
Douds, of Bridgeport, arrested Ritner
for robbing the c. l.. & W. depot at
Wheeling Creek. Ritner weakened up
on his second arrest and plead guilty,
also acknowledging that he had wreck
ed the train on the G.. L. & W., and
threw himself on the mercy of the
court. He was sent to the penitentiary
for two years and was let out last
thanksgiving, having gained some
time by his good behavior.
Owens is stranger and has little
to say. He claims he met Ritner
on Tuesday and that his home is in
Pittsburg, and that he was not aware
they were doing anything wrong. The
railroad officials will most likely push
this case, as they claim it is for their
protection, and that the previous oc-
currences place a bad phase on these
men.

Pittsburg River News.

PITTSBURG, August although
the local steamboat inspectors have not
officially announced their verdict in
the case against Benjamin j. Leonard,
engineer Of the towboat Leader, who
was charged with carrying excessive
steam when operating the boat, it is
known that verdict has been handed
down against Mr.. Leonard. The sup
cruising inspector of the Seventh
steamboat district has all the testi-
mony before him and the case will be
placed in the hands of the United
States district attorney for action eth
er to-day or tomorrow. The charges
against Mr. Leonard were filed some
months ago, but the absence from the
city of witnesses from time to time
greatly delayed the taking Of testi-
mony. The charge on which the case
was based is one seldom filed here, and
riyermen have been awaiting the out
come with considerable interest.
The toWboats that left here a few
days since with coal for Cincinnati are
all making good time and keeping well
together. They passed Point Pleasant
last night. The Fallie stopped at Mus
LdpHd lSlduu anu IOOh up Ile mOQeL
barge Allegheny loaded with wire nails,
which was grounded at that point last
month. The big w. w. O'Neil started
north from New Orleans early yester-
day morning with an empty tow.
The local steamboat inspectors ex-
amined the sand digger Fay S. at Ne
willie Island to-day.
Work on the new towboat George
Shiras is being pushed forward as rap
idly as possible.
The Wabash river is being cleared of
distractions and placed in navlgable
condition. Years ago there was con-
siderable business done on the
Wabash, large shipments of corn and
pork being made south from there
1t was nothing unusual then for boats
here to load for the Wabash river.
The Coal City, in addition to her
new shaft, has been thoroughly over
hauled and repaired and is now almost
as good as new.
A notice was received yesterday by
Maj, Charles F. Powell, United States
government engineer, that the War
Department has granted a permit to
the National Tube Company for the
construction of coal dock, hoists and
tipples near its works on the Monon-
gahela river.

The Chemical Company has a Hard
PulI-A New Order Issued by the
Chief.
A fire broke out in a house owned by
Mr.. Jeffries at 1896 Charles street yes
terday morning at $50. A still alarm
was turned in at the Chemical engine
house which was promptly responded
to. The Chemical had hard pull up
the hill, the two horses being unable
to pull the engine fast enough. Sew
eral of the firemen ran ahead and kept
the flames in check with buckets until
the engine arrived. In order to prevent
the same thing happening again Chef
Cline ordered that horse should be
detached from the Atlantic engine
house to help out the Chemical in such
cases The fire was caused by a de-
fective tlue and large hole was burnt
in the roof of the building. No serious
damage was done. the loss amounting
to but very little.
