The slight rise that was reported
from here yesterday was stopped by
the cold and did not reach here.
Captain Gordon Green, of the Green
wood, has announced that his boat
will resume as soon as the gorge at
st. Mary's breaks.
The City of Wheeling left at noon
for Matamoras with a good trip Ii
possible she will push her way through
the ice on the return trip and reach
here some time tonight.
The gorge at st. Mary's is still hold
ing, and is now fourteen miles long
and rapidly extending up the river.
In some places it is reported to be
gorged solid nearly to the bottom.
Rivermen were yesterday predicting
that ii the cold weather continued to-
day the river would be closed here by
tonight. New ice is forming very rap
idly, and with the low condition of the
river, some of the large cakes of ice
are liable to gorge at any time on
some of the bars. Some of the cakes
that passed yesterday were very large,
probably being a quarter of mile
long and half as wide as the river.
Rivermen now regard lock No. as
one of the finest improvements that
has been made there recently. The
guide walls have been extended many
hundred feet up the river, making
access to the block much better. New
abutmentS have also been built. Be-
fore the improvements were made
lock No. was regarded as a danger
Gus place. Most of the rivermen were
opposed to the Improvements that
Major Charles F. Powell has made,
but have changed their opinions, now
that the improvements have been fin

Mrs Sarah Lessinger, near Stuart.
Neb., says: my little girl, eight years
old, has always been a delicate child.
and has not been able to stay in school
long at a time, for she often tainted
and was weak and puny. until last
February she had a sick spell. and |
began feeding her on Grape-N Nuts food.
Il can truthfully say the result has
far exceeded my expectations. She is
now hearty, well, and can run and
play as other children do. | am try
ing an experiment this summer on
leaving out meat altogether for break
fast and using Grape-Nuts food in
stead. Thus far we have all been I'M
usually well, and my men folks 1--WE
are farmers) say that they do not get
hungry so quick when they use Grape
Nuts food as they used to when they
had meat
Ut is a profound fact that r.
Nuts food will furnish more
nent to the system than
meat Any one can prove
this statement by trial.

Barney Gilmore, who will be the
next attraction at the Grand, opening
this evening, has cast aside his low
comedy character for one of more legil-
innate ends. In his Kidnapped in New
York he has an opportunity to exhib-
it a manly form, and very pretty
mannerism. The author of the play
has taken for his theme the sensation
al Kidnapping of Baby Clark. While
nthere are great many exciting mo-
ments to the plot, there is not as much
Dise and clap-trap effect as is often
Zen in modern melodfama. The com 5
bany supporting Mr.. Gilmore is SAID to
DE very capable one.

MONEY REDEPOSITED

The run on s. Jarmulowsky's bank at No "a

day When the bank opened for business at 10

had deposit of 500 she wished to withdraw

Some depositors. having become convinced that
their fears were groundless returned their de-
posits. 1t is a curious coincidence that the pay
ing teller's name is Benjamin Settle
Henry JarmulOwsky, son of the banker said
that his father had offered reward of So 600
for proof as to who started the run on the bank
and if it could be proved that it was started by
rival bank then the reward would be in

anything to gain by the run was absurd and
that most of the accounts withdrawn would not
have drawn interest on January l. as they were
opened after July.

pursued by some who DO not wish to stand in

CITY BY A PAVING COMPANY.


Justice Truax in the Supreme Court yesterday
sustained the certorar proceedings brought against
the Tax Commissioners by the Fruln-Ba1hprIch
Paving Company which has executed contracts
for the asphating of certain streets in the city fo
$500 000 OF this the company is, by the terms
of it's contract. compelled to leave 30 per cent IN
the hands of the Controller, so that, should the
streets not be kept in proper repair during the
fifteen years for which the contracts run, the city
authorities could repair the streets and pay the
cost out of the money retained by the Controller
Justice Truax sustained the proceedings in or
der that the Corporation Counsel might immediate
" appeal and get a decision on the question
whether the money held by the Controller is per-
sonaI property which be taxed or not
E. Wells represented the paving company, and
maintained that the corporation could not be taxed

CHURCH LAND IN ANOTHER DISPUTE.
CLAIMANT SAYS HE WILL CONTEST ITS
SALE


Beleville, Dec. 13.-The old structure in Man-st,
Belleville, n. J.. used formerly house of
worship by the Wesley Methodist Church. the
mother church of Methodism in New-Jersey, has
been sold, and in consequence there is likely be
more litigation between Hugh Holmes and the
trustees of the church. 1t is proposed fit it up
as gymnasium and meeting room. Samuel ].
McCauey, Of Woodside purchased the property
for $500 from the trustees of the Wesley con-
gregation, and the society, to be known as the
Bellevne Young Mems Association. will take the
lease for five years.
The deed of the property is said to convey not
only the brick building, but also space of ground
twenty-three feet in depth in the rear. Mr.
Holmes who sought several years ago to restrain
the trustees from dsposing of any part of the land
ing ground and could be sold under a clause in
to have that part of the conveyance relating
twenty-three feet of land set aside. Vice-Chancel
or Emery in the previous litigation decided that
the resolution of the church empowering the
trustees to sell seemed to prevent them from con-
veying the property, and added that If they wanted
decree confirming their right to sell any of the
portion in dispute they should ascertain by digging
or otherwise. whether actual burials had been
made in the part disputed. Mr. Holmes holds that
II the trustees have dug six feet below the surface
and found no bones he does not know of IL Off
cially and. further that he has received no notice
asking the court for decree confirming the right
to sell any of the disputed portion.
