"A. Axton & Son, the Brownville (Pa.)
boat builders, have awarded the con
tract to build the hull Of a towboat
that will foe taken to the Yukon river
and run in the frozen zones of the
great north. The steamer will be built
as far as is practical on the same lines
as the towboat James Moren, now
owned by the Monongahela River Con-
sCiidated Coal and Coke oC.
The timbers for the hull of the boat
will be set up at Brownsville just the
same as any other boat, and then they
will be taken down. The timbers will
be loaded on railroad cars for ship
ment to the Pacific coast. The hull
will not be planked, as that is unnec-
essary. This work will be done when
the hull of the steamer is reconstruct
ed at Seattle, Wash. There it will be
planked with Oregon fir, a wood that
is very durable and light. The steam
er will draw about 4 feet of water. It's
length will be 1S6 feet, SO feet wide
and about ) feet depth of hold.
The James Rees & Sons Co., OF
Pittsburg, will build the machinery.
The steamer will be equipped with en-
gines having 24-inch cylinders and an
5 foot stroke.

Upon a description furnished by the
police authorities of Massillon, O., De-
tective O'Leary yesterday took a wo-
man Of ~ out of a charitable institu-
ton in this city, where she has been
cared for since Thursday Of last week.
She is prepossessing, and her face
shows marks of refinement, while her
language indicates intelligence Of a de-
gree seldom exhibited by a woman Of
her class.
At police headquarters the woman
gave her name as Elsie Holland. She
was informed that a charge Of arson
rests against her in Massilon. She Sc
cured the services of John A. Howard,
and at his request she was permitted
to go up street in company with a de-
tective to purchase some articles of
clothing. The detective was with her
during almost the entire day.
Later in the afternoon Marshal
Rinehart arrived from Canton, o., and
the young woman was taken before
Justice M. j. Fitzpatrick, who commit
ted her to Jail in default of $500 bond.
Her relatives in the interior of the
State were communicated with, and
later in the evening a woman connect
ed with the institution where she was
living when arrested, offered to go on
her bond, but changed her mind later.
The young oma Is charged with
said to be a questionable hotel, in Mas
silon. Her motive is said to have been
revenge. The fire took place October
Sd, originating in a wardrobe, and did
very little damage. The woman was
then known as Ruth Barrett. Subse-
quently she went to Canton, where she
lived a life OF shame under the same
name. From Canton she went to New
ark, where she vas known as Ruth
Richardson. When the authorities de-
cided to arrest her, they sent to New
ark, but in the meantime she left, COM
ing to Wheeling, it is said, on Febru-
airy 7th.
The girl has a peculiarly sad history.
Her father lives at Little Falls, near
Morgantown, w. Va, is said to be "
years of age, and is reputed to be
worth S75,0 600. The girl came to
Wheeling to be educated, and was the
school associate of many we'll known
ladies of the city. 1t is said that she was
of an impulsive disposition, and that
this led to an unhappy marriage at the
age of Is. Soon afterward she was de-
serted by her husband, and the doors
of her home being closed against her,
was thrown upon her own resources.
Her subsequent career is said to
have been checkered and eventful. She
fell in with d~issolute companions, and
led a life of shame for several years.
Hope was dead, ambition wa lost, and
she made no effort to regain the posi-
ton in society for which she was fitted
by early training and education. She
vas employed as a cook in the Miller
house when the fire took place.
The girls case has excited the SYM
pathy of a number of Wheeling people,
and it is not likely that she will go
back to Ohio without a stubborn legal
fight.
