The New Mammoth TOw-BOat.

The New Mammoth TOw-BOat.
Pittsburg Commercial Gazette.
The report that the mammoth new
steel hull towboat, being built for the
Monongahela River Consolidated Coal
& Coke Company, will be too large to
go through the Louisville canal. is alb
solutely without foundation, according
to officers of the company. The Sprague
will be 275 feet long and Go feet wide,
whereas the Louisville canal is over
300 feet long and about 80 feet wide.
The Sprague will not come to Pitts
burg very often. The boat will draw
when cOaled ~ to 8 feet of water The
steamer will only be brought to Pitts
burg when there is big stage of water
and when she does come this way she
will push a mammoth string of emp
ties up the river. The boat has no. ct
been officially named. Capt. lel
S. Brown, master of the transpC alton
for the company, has not yet gen his
sanction to naming the boat SDrague.
Capt. Brown said that Capt. Sprague or
Capt August lutte, ought to get the
honor. Capt. lutte, he said, had been
the foremost in pushing to the front
boats of such power as the Sprague will
be-
Capt. Brown. however. said that Capt.
Sprague had built so many towboats in
his time that the naming of the steamer
after him would be a fitting honor. 1t
is likely that Capt. Brown will sanction
the naming of the boat after Capt.
Sprague The boat is not expected to be
ready for towing coal until early next
spring, although it is the intention of
the company building her to have the
vessel ready by next December.

GROOM WAS POISONED.
Died at the Close of the Wedding
Festivities-Coroner Is Making
an Investigation,

Coroner Roberts was called To the
Rising Sun" block at the corner Of
Scranton and Seventh streets yester-
day to investigate the death of a Slav-
oman named Michael Erich, who died
very suddenly on Wednesday evening
The doctor made an autopsy and from
his examinations there is sufficient to
arouse suspicion of poisoning.
Late sunday Erich was married to
young Slavish woman who recently
arrived from Austria. The wedding
celebration continued the usual three
days, and on Wednesday the couple
visited the brides sister on South
Washington avenue, where, it is said,
the groom partook of some beer An
half hour after he returned home the
man was dead
The autopsy yesterday revealed the
fact that the man had been poisoned,
either by carbolic acid, vitriol or some
other chemical, which had evidently
been placed in his beer. His lips on
the inside were burned, also the throat
and lungs. DR.. Roberts removed the
stomach. the contents of which will
be analyzcd, and later an inquest will
be held.
The young man was but - years of
age, and bore a good reputation. lie
was not known to have any enemies,
and his friends are at Il loss TO UNDER
stand his sudden leath. a report was
current yesterday in the neighborhOod
to the effect that Il relative of the
bride had threatened to poison the fell
low if the girl married him, but this
could not be verified. The coroner will
investigate the case.
