DEMONSTRATES ITS
ABILITY TO ROLL

Ogdensburg, N. Y, Nov 25-Knapp's
roller boat demonstrated it's ability to roll
today In a binding snow storm. with a
stiff north wind, it rolled from Prescott
across the st. Lawrence River to Ogdens-
burg, but missed the channel to the upper
harbor and rolled into the soft mud on the
bar abreast of the city and settled hard,
surrounded by snow and ice.
A steamer following the roller was un-
able to get near her, owing to the shallow
water. Efforts to tow the boat by long
hawsers into deep water were unsuccess-
full and she may not be released until
spring. The inventor and a. stakeholder,
who were on board, were taken off in
small boats. The inventor declares the
boat success.
The boat is ITO feet long and % feet in
diameter An engine is suspended in a
car in the centre. The motive power is
applied in the form of climbing engine.
Mr. Knapp says he will now build an
ocean roller boat, 800 feet long and 200 feet
diameter with a capacity of 100000
bushels of wheat and a speed of u knots
an hour.

THE NEW CITY MESSENGER
A GRADUATE OF THE SPY

William H. Pratt, the new city mes
senger, is one of the best known and
most popular newspaper men in Wor-
cester, and he has had all his training
on The Spy, where the lessons Of fair
dealing and reliability taught him have
been largely instrumental in securing
for him his official position.
He was born in Gardner % years ago
the Sth of next February, his grand
father, Ephriam Wright. being one of
the earliest of the chair manufacur-
ers who have done so much to build
up the town. and his father being
Walter Pratt. He received his early
education in the public and high
schools of his native town and then
took a course in Becker's Business
College in this city. He came to Wor-
cester permanently when he was 20
years old. entering the employ Of the
New England Telephone & Telegraph
Company as collector. He held this
position for a little over two years and
then. came to -work on The Spy as the
Blackstone Valley correspondent. He
covered all the towns down the river
as far as Uxbridge, making the long
trip every day, and he covered his
field so well he was brought into the
city and put on the local reportorial
staff. He reported the police and fire
news for a year and was then put on
the city Hall and Republican politicc
assignment.
He has covered both these important
departments with credit to himself
and The Spy, his fair treatment of
every man and measure that demand
ed public attention in the two fields
winning him the confidence of city
officials and politicians alike. He was
made the confidante of many political
al nd
ne treated political opponents with
fairness, giving them all a show. He
did not let his personal feelings color
his political stories but told things as
he found them in political circles and
his reporfs of political -doings were
read religiously by those who wanted
to know what was really going on.
In CITY Hall he enjoyed the conf
dence and esteem of every city Off
cial as a newspaper man and his adj
vent into their official circle Will be
hailed with pleasure as he is a genial
fellow and a fine companion. His fell
low reporters hate to have him gos
hut none worked harder for his sue
cess than they because he is deserving
of the good things that have come to
him.
He is well fitted to fill the office Of
city messenger because a newspaper
mans training IS SchoOl IN Itself for
such an office. He will have charge OF
the supplies for the several depart
ments at City Hail. will look after and
notify members of the City Council Of
committee meetings and prepare the
committee rooms. act as messenger of
the City Council and other depart
ments. make arrangements for trips
of the City Council committees and for
the entertainment Of visiting officials
and others.
He has not made up his mind when
he will enter on his new duties, but
will probably do SO this week.

OFFICER LOMBARD
PROVED HIS WORTH

The alertness of officer Eneas Lom--
bard prevented what might have been
a costly conhagration in the Harring
ton block, Main and Front Streets, last
night. The officer in making his
rounds discovered thin streak of
smoke curling out over a transom of a
room used for storage purposes and on
investigation found large work bench
on fire. An oil stove with an empty
can on top Of it was burning fiercely
and no doubt would have exploded in a
short time. The walls of the room were
blackeneo some by smoke but the fire
was extinguished by the officer without
the aid OF the department.

The ordinance, providing for four en-

changes in the fire limits, were passed
to be ordained.
The last thing done in concurrence
was to elect William H. Pratt city
messenger to fill the vacancy caused
by the death of Charles Marvin. The
election was unanimous in both branch
es. Democrats as well as Republicans
uniting in voting for the popular re-
porter for The Spy.
At 1870. the Republican members Of
both branches went into caucus in
Room 3d. to decide the nomination for
city messenger. Two ballots were TAX
en-. On the first, Mr.. Pratt received 3
votes, Emil G. Nystrom 5, Daniel E.
Denny g. and the remainder of the %
votes were scattered among William Il.
Gould. Walter F. Gleason. Harry II.
Ames Charles G. Davis and William
A. Weir. On the second ballot, Mr..
Pratt received a majority of the votes
cast and was declared the nominee.
In the meantime. the Democrats were
having a caucus. and they also decided
to support Mr. Pratt. Frank A. Rati-
gan was mentioned as the choice of the
Democrats for a complimentary vote,
but he did not expect them to stick to
him. and thew endorsed Mr.. Pratt.
The aldermen made the election, on
reassembling, by a unanimous vote, but
when the matter reached the lower
branch. Councilman Clark moved to
have the election postponed for a week.
The motion was seconded by Council
man Terrill, but was lost, and the
election was made here by unani-
nous vote.
