Scarcity Of Towboats.

PITTSBURG, Pa, December 2.-On
account of---e scarcity of steamers the
Monongaheia River Consolidated Coal
and Coke Company could send but
100000 bushels of coal south yester-
day, and when the Dave Wood leaves
this morning with ten coal boats and
as many barges, the shipment on this
rise will be at an end as every boat
of the river coal combine is en- route
ITO southern points with large tows
Captain Hugh Moren, of the river coal
company, stated yesterday he was we'll
pleased, as were all the officials of the
company ON the large amount of coal
sent south during the past ten days.
With yesterdays shipments it is esti-
mated 100000 bushels of coal have
been sent out on the present rise.
Unless there is another heavy rain
fall soon it is probable the boats now
going down the river will be unable
to get back in time to take advantage
of the barge stage which is still in the
Ohio river. The water is receding rap
idly.

Collide at MoundsviIIe-The Kanawa
Badly Damaged, But Able to Pro-
coed to Pittsburg.
Yesterday morning about s o'clock
the steamer Leroy crashed into the
steamer Kanawha, and a very serious
accident was narrowly averted. The
Leroy left the wharf here shortly after
seven o'clock yesterday morning on
her regular Sunday trip through to
Sistersville. On her way down the
river she stopped at Moundsville to
take on freight and passengers.
Completing the work at the wharf
She was backing out of the harbor
when she crashed into the Kanawha
at point known as "Ohio Bend" just
opposite the city. She struck the Ka-
nawha about half way, tearing a big
hole in her side and hull, extending to
the water line. The Kanawha was on
her way from Parkersburg to Pitts
burg and had a very heavy trip.
For a while it was thought the boat
would go under, but the crew set to
work to tighten the injured side and
temporary bulwark was constructed.
The Kanawha then proceeded slowly to
this city, where the bulwark was
strengthened. The boat left this city
at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon and
will get through to Pittsburg, where
the necessary repairs will be made.
The Leroy escaped with a few
scratches and proceeded on her way
to Sistersville. The point where the
accident occurred is very dangerous
place for navigation, as the boatmen
cannot see any great distance ahead,
and combined with the fog of yesterday
morning, the accident was almost I'M
avoidable.

Dumping Stag.

To the Editor of the Register.
Sir: Allow me space in your valuable
paper to call attention to the dumping
OF Stag into the river at a point near
4, the head of the island on the city side.
The mills dump Stag here and are fill
ing in the channel, throwing the water
across against the Island. Should a
boat strike this Stag, as it has rolled
down into the channel, she would sink
and nothing could save her. The at
tention of the river. commissioner in
this district should be called to the
state of affairs and steps should be
taken to stop it. PILOT.

Special 10 the Register
HUNTINGTON, w. Va, December O.
A dense fog at 2:30 Sunday morning
caused the heaviest loss that the Mo-
rongahela Consolidated Coal and Coke
Company have ever sustained on the
river, and more coal boats were wreck
ed and sunk in this collision than in
any other that is remembered by men
that have followed the river their life
time. Over five hundred thousand
bushels of coal went into the river,
some of it sinking fifteen miles below
the place, where the accident occur
red The total loss to the steamboat
men and coal dealers is estimated at
$4,000.
Fortunately no lives were lost About
one and one-half miles above Crown
City, the towboat Volunteer, coming
down with tow of coal from Pitts
burg, found such heavy fog that
She could not go any further with
safety, so the captain decided to land.
When they had landed nicely and had
their lines all cut and everything in
fine order to lay there until the fog
raised, they were startled by crash.
The pilot on the Tom Dodsworth, COM
ing down with another tow, could not
see the Volunteer and his tow had
struck the Volunteers fuel boat. Then
began the wreck that proved so disas-
trous. The captain on the Volunteer
says that his lines and chains did as
much good then as a Irvine string.
Pieces of chain were flying in every
direction. AT one time he though his
boat would turn over as something had
got under her and tipped it to one
side, and the water was running over
her guards. When she got loose thAy
commenced to gather the scattered
boats, but found this dangerous, as
they could not see forty feet in front Of
them. Again they struck and sank
two more boats. After they got the
remaining boats dashed together they
found they had only ten. The Volun-
teer had lost eight coal boats and her
two fuels, and the Tom Dodsworth
thirteen.
At three p. m. Sunday the Dodsworth
passed here with the ten coal boats
going to Cincinnati
The Volunteer came to Huntington
to await orders from Pittsburg.
The Volunteers wheel was consider
ably wrecked by the collision.

MI. PrOtzman Talks.

Mr.. Protzman, in an introductory
way. remarked that for years he had
been Interested in geology in western
Pennsylvania, West Virginia ana case
ern Ohio, and he had come to the con-
clusion that the Wheeling district Is one
OF the very best locations in the world
for the Manufacture OF iron and steel
but for one thing" This, added Mr..
Protzman. Is the fact that Wheeling
district manufacturers pay fifty cents a
ton more on coke than Pittsburgh
manufacturers on account OF the alb
sence Of direct line from western
Pennsylvania coke fields 10 this city.
To the west and southwest, however,
this handicap is nputralzed by the
shorter distance from the place Of man
ufacturc. Not so TO the north, east.
northeast and northwest. The pros
perity Of Pittsburgh is due more than
anything elssto the coal and coke OF the
Monongahela valley. In 1890 Allegheny
county, Pa. had population OF CSC. 900
people; thirty years before Pittsburgh
had only 10000 people. This years cen
sus will show Allegheny county's popu-
latlon to be 100000. This wonderful
growth and prosperity are due mostly
to the cheap coke found almost at Pitts
burgh's doors-forty miles distant.
Continuing, Mr. Protzman read a
most interesting prospectus, showing
the great advantages that would accrue
to Wheeling by the construction OF tn,
UnIontown, waynesburg & West vir.
ginia road, especially In making this
district unrlvnllpd In advantages for
the cheap production Of iron and steel
and kindred products. The table Of dis.
tances showing the decrease in mileage
to nearly all the consuming centres Of
coke was especially significant and I'm.
portant. Mr.. Protzman's statement Is
given in full in another column.
Mr. Protzman spoke OF the great dlyi-
dend paying record Of The Pittsburgh y
Lake Erie, which saves twenty-five
miles between Pittsburgh and tha lake,

Place Had No Attractions for Other

Capt. McKinzie of Philadelphia has
encountered in his maritime wander
ings a place where only two women
have ever lived. Lying at pier No. Is,
Port Richmond, Philadelphia, dis
charging her cargo of $50 tons of
chrome ore, is the trim little Halifax
schooner Satellite, commanded by
Capt. Mckenzie, man who has ex-
perienced many thrilling adventures
while navigating the Newfoundland
coast, whence this vessel came with
her cargo. The Satellite came from
settlement in Newfoundland known as
Bluff Head, situated thirty miles east
southeast from Port au Port, and
place where but two women ever were
known to live. Capt. Mckenzie says
that the chrome ore mines were dis
covered only three years ago. They
are now worked by British and Ameri-
can capitalists. The ore on board the
Satellite is valued in it's crude state in
excess of $50 a ton, and is the richest
grade which ever has been brought

ed facilities for vessels reaching the
place, the largest cargo that has ever
been shipped is 300 tons and at that
time the vessel was seven weeks load
ing. The mines from which this ore
is taken are situated on the tops OF
cliffs rising 500 feet above the level of
the sea, and Capt. Mckenzie had to
work his vessel in and anchor her
under these cliffs on shoal area con-
tanning six fathoms Of water. The
method of loading is primitive, the ore
being conveyed down the mountain
side in small wagons drawn by power
full horses. From th shore 1t Is
brought out in boats. Capt. McKen-
zie's last visit to Philadelphia was
