Service Stripe system Adopted.

The Ohio and Little Kanawha Rail-
road has adopted the service stripe
system in the transportation depart
ment and passenger conductors on that
road now wear the regulation gold
braid stripes in the left coat sleeves of
their uniforms.
These stpires are about third of
an inch wide and extend half around
the sleeve just above the wrist. Each
denotes that the we1rer has servd five
years continuously IN the transporta-
tion department. Conductors Reynolds
and Lavelle wear TWO stripes each,
both having been running continuous
ly on the passenger @rains of the road
for ten years.
Not only do the stripes denote the
length of service, but also are mark
OF distinction we'll earned by years OF
faithful performance of duty.

THE BRIDGE.
Iron Work is Almost Completed
Work on the Abutments,

The superstructurt OF the Putnam
street bridge is almost completed, and
so far as can be seen by an ordinary
observer, it will be only comparative
few days until the work is finished.
The only work that remains to be done
is the laying of the plank floor and the
support for the street railway track
and the foot bridge, and the final riv-
iting together OF the parts. The men
are doing their work rapidly and well
and when completed the bridge will
be the finest and most expensive struc-
ture along the Muskingum.
The approaches are now claiming at
tention and work Oil the walls is pro-
crossing rapidly. Tie north wall of
the east side abutment is almost fin
ished and the high bank on the south
side is being graded down to make
room for the wall OH that side. The
earth is being used in filling in be-
tween walls up to the height necessary
for laying the paving. When this is
done, about all that remains are the
odd jobs necessary TO finish up. Most
of this could be done however after the
bridge is opened so that it will be only
short time until tGe bridge can be
opened for traffic provided the City
Council and the Bridge Company can
agree upon the terms of settlement.

CRAFTS
Which Ply Their Course Along the
Two Large Rivers.

A rise OF several inches in the river
was noticed at the local wharf yester-
day and the conditions above are such
as to warrant the r.vermen in expect
ing the stage here not to fiuctuate
much for several days. Several OF the
large boats are out and will make the
trips up and down the river, as the
case may be, today and tomorrow.
A stage of feet 10 inches Is regist-
cred here. At Davis Island Dam the
marks showed 3.2 feet, while at Wheel
ing 2.7 feet was reported.
The boats which touched at the
wharf yesterday were: Telegram, 3 a.
m. for Wheeling; Bedford from Wheel
ing ga. M; Big Sandy for st Marys,
p. M; City for Wheeling for Wheeling
6 a. m.
The boats which are scheduled on
the bulletin board at the wharf today
are the Big Sandy for st. Marys 2 p,
M; Bedford for Wheeling 6 a. m.
The City Of Whe sling passed up the
river about a. m. yesterday morning
Everything was in flrst-class shape
and the machinery was working per-
fectly. The boat will be furnished and
completely equipped when she reaches
her destination.
The Vega, boat employed by the
government to repair all river i'm
provements, is moored in the Musking-
um and will make much needed re-
pairs on the dam here. She is under
the direction OF Capt. Mclaughlin and
as the work to be done is quite exten-
sive she will be here for some time.

FRIDAY, AUGUST "a, 1900.
TO THE FRONT


On Thursday Mr.. Jacob Metzger, OF
GAINESVILLE, Inspector Of Workshops and
Factories for this, 'he Seventh Ohio
District, completed his work Of in
specting the factories and shops in
Marietta, and the result is most graft
flying to the people CT our enterprising
progressive and fast-growing city.
The report OF the inspection that was
made two years ago shows that at that
time Marietta possessed fourty-four
establishments employing labor in the
manufacturing line. The inspection
just completed shows that the number
Of establishments has increased from
forty-four to seventy, clear gain OF
twenty-six, or fifty-nine per cent
This is most favorable showing, and
is not surpassed by any town or city OF
of any size in the entire state.
Mr.. Metzger informs the Leader that
the buildings OF Marietta are in good
shape from the standpoint of ventila-
tion, sanitation, ETC.. and that good
precautlon has been taken in almost
every instance for the comfort and
proper protection of the employees.
Mr.. Metzger is very efficient officer
and his services to the state are recog-
nized as being very valuable. He left
Thursday for his home at GAINESVILLE
but will return to Marietta next week
to inspect the several school buildings

ANGLO GERMAN ALLIANCE
Formed to Maintain the Integrity OF
Chinese Empire
AND TO KEEP HER PORTS OPEN
Great Britain and Germany Spring
Coup of 1Iomentous Significance
in Chinese Situation-To No
tify Other Powers.

Germany and England have formed
an alliance to maintain the terrific
rial integrity of China and to keep
ports open, says London dispatch.
The terms of this agreement, which
was arrived at October 16, between
Lord Salisbury and Count Won HAITI
feldt, German ambassador to Eng
land, are officially given out as fol-
lows:
The German government and her
British majesty's government, being
DESTROYS to maintain their interests
in China and their rights under ex-
listing treaties have agreed to observe
the following principles regarding
mutual policy in China: \
"Firstly-It is q matter of just
permanent international interest that
the ports on the rivers and literal
of China should remain free and open
to trade and to every other legiti-
mate form of economic activity for
the peoples Of all countries without
distinction; and the two governments
agree on their part to uphold the
same for all Chinese territory as
far as they can exercise infu-
ence.
Secondly = Both governments
agree that they will not on their
part make use Of the present compli-
cation to obtain for themselves any
territorial advantage in the Chinese
dominion, and will direct their poll
cy towards maintaining undimin-
ished the territorial condition Of the
Chinese empire.
"Thirdly-In case Of another power
making use of the complications in
China in order to obtain under any
form whatever such territorial adj
vantages, the two contracting parties
reserve to themselves the right to
come to preliminary understanding
regarding the eventual step to be
taken for the protection of their own
interests in China.
"Fourthly-The two governments
will communicate this agreement to
the other powers interested, espe-,
cially Austria-Hungary, Fran$s,
Italy, Japan, Russia and the United
States, and invite them to accept the
principles recorded in it..

The Value of Saving.

In New York State the past year,
how widespread has been prosperity
is betokened by report on savings
banks, which shows that one out of
every three persons in the State has
a bank account. The total amount
deposited was 1864, S27, 203.
In France, the Government offers in
ducements to school children TO open
savings bank accounts. The Govern
ment of the United Etates plays no
such paternal role in encouraging thrift
among it's people. 1t is left to wise
mothers in this country to encourage
children to the virtue and sound bust
ness principle of saving. The spirit
ual paradox, $40 him that hath shall
be given, and from him that hath not
shall be taken away" is stern, unre-
lenting condition of business success.
Not alone is it true nowadays that "a
penny saved is a penny earned" but,
more and more it is necessary to save
the penny in order to earn one. The
youth beginning life under present
economic conditions must have capital
and a capacity for acquiring it. Saw
ing through childhood is a means to
both these indispensable ends. and
the solemn truth of this should be re-
ligiously placed before the minds Of
the young-Harper's Bazaar.

SHORT COTTON CROP.
Commissioners OF Agriculture of South
ern States Give Figures.

Commissioners OF Agriculture of South
ern States Give Figures.
The Atlanta Journal publishes the
following answers received in reply
to Geographic inquiries sent to the
commissioners OF agriculture through
out the south:
Alabama-Sixty-fve per cent Of
crop for Alabama; total crop cannot
exceed 5000, 600 bales. R. r. Poole.
Virginia-Cotton crop of this state
about II, COO bales. &c. w. Koiner.
Observation-Disclosures verify Raj
eigh estimate of 1894, 1866; for Ar.
kansas crop too low.-Frank Hill,
Florida-Crop lost heavily past
three weeks; will not reach 60, 900
bales.-L. B. Wombwell.
Mississippi-I agree with President
Stevens relative to bear move; crop
in my state very little improved;
maximum yield for south $500, 600
John A. Redhead.
North Carolina-State returns
slightly above government October
report. General conditions do not
warrant bear movement; market
obliged to rally-S. L. Patterson.
Georgia-In reply to your inquiry
regarding the cotton crop l have no
reason to change my mind from the
figures given your reporter a few
days ago. l have intelligently sought
information regarding the present
crop from all the cotton states, and
all indications lead me to believe that
the present crop will not exceed
5000, 600 bales. In many OF the
states there will be no top crop at
all in few instances there will be
small top crop, but not enough to be
counted in the present calculation Of
the crop, therefore early or late frost
will not affect these figures at all.
There is no reason known to me why
there should be decline in the price
of the staple, except that it is brought
about by speculation.-O. b. Stevens.

1--WE, the jury, find this defendant
guilty, and fix his punishment at life

This is the verdict returned by the
twelve men at Georgetown, KY, who
were selected to try Henry E. Yout-
sey, one OF the principals in the muir

said the judge.
The foreman passed them up and
the clerk read the following verdict :
1--WE, the jury, find the defendant
guilty and fix his punishment at con-
fnement in the penitentiary for life. "
Gentlemen, is that your verdict?''
asked the judge.
at is, was the reply.
Gentlemen, you are now finally
discharged and you can call on the
trustees OF the jury fund for your
pay" said the judge to the jury.
The jury walked out and the trial
was at an end.
The vote was unanimous that he
was guilty, then the degree of pun
ishment was fixed, but on this the
jury was somewhat divided, but fin"
ally agreed on the life sentence.
Attorneys for the defense prepared
a motion for an arrest of Judgment
and Judge Cantrill set the motion for
hearing the second day Of the Feb
ruary term, and therefore Youtsey
will not be sentenced till next year,
if then. In the judges own motion
he entered an order to have Youtsey
moved to the Frankfort jail for safe
keeping.
