RIVER news

Bre'r Fox II, the speed boat,
which recently made such fine test
ing record in run from Cincinnati
to New Orleans, a distance of 1854
miles, at an average rate of 29.s
miles per hour, was watched with
great interest by quite number of
our people, as she dashed by this
point Friday at p. M, making her
speed run from Pittsburg to Cincin-
natl, distance of 400 miles. We
understand Capt. Dean, of the Fox,
has been greatly hampered in this
latter trial run by the very unfavor-
able stage conditions of the river.
1t is reported that she was making
Sc miles per hour, when she passed
Ironton, and that 5000 spectators
lined the Ohio bank at Portsmouth,
to see her rapid rate.

A 1RoLLEYLHVE ALONG THE OHIO.

The ironton Register says the out
look for street railroad between
Ironton and Gallipolis is bright. Mr..
Clary representing English capital
with FIVE millions on deposit, with
headquarters at Pittsburg are in dead
earnest. They want their agents to
get franchise from the county COM
missioners through which the road is
to run and give them IS feet on one
side of the county road, the abutting
farmers along the road to give 90
feet more to be used as switches or
for double track for a great inter
urban line, reaching from Pittsburg
to Cincinnati. The promoters say
this an well be done as by building
the ax duplicate of the county would
be geatly advanced by tax on roll
ing took and trade. The Commits
sioFrs of Lawrence are inclined to
be mir but think they have nothing
to five away to promoters who might
gel valuable franchise and then
speculate upon it. They will have
to be shown before any franchise
would be given and that in some in
stances that many feet could not be
spared.
Mr.. Alphonse Blake, who has been
working Gallia county for the same
people, says that he has the right of
way for nearly the whole county and
also in Lawrence county down as far
AS Millersport. Work of securing
the right of way through Lawrence
county is now to be pushed with
vigor.

DESPERATE BATTLE
BETWEEN A WHITE MAN AND A NEGRO
OVER IN GALLIA COUNTY, NEAR
CALLIPOLIS, OHIO.

A nasty and desperate fight be-
tween a white man named Albert
Thivener, and colored man named
Robert Garnes, took place last Sat-
urday night at Kanauga, Ohio, dur
ing which Garnes had his throat cut
and Thivener's collar bone was brok-
en- and his nose bit off. The colored
man was taken to GaIHpolis on one
car, for treatment, while the white
man had to wait for the next car be-
fore he was attended to, the street
car conductor being 10th to take
them together for fear of further
trouble.
Thivener wrapped his nose in his
pocket handkerchief, put it in his
pocket and took it to Gallipolis,
where several stitches were taken,
though assured by the attending
physician that the operation was
useless. At last reports the colored
man is in a serious condition and
that Thivener is not much better.
The cause of the fight grew out of
some contention about a cork from a
quart bottle of whiskey, and both
men were drinking; but it is said
the colored man is of good disposition
and was forced into the conflict.

DECLARE RACE SHOULD BE SEPARATED
IN DRINKING PLACES.

Bluefeld, W. Va, July I7.-An
attempt was made here today to re-
vive the negro saloon conducted by
Doc; Fudge, but without success.
a petition signed by hundred ofcol-
ored people asking that an ordinance
be granted separating saloons for
blacks and whites was read in the
city council.
c. E. Heinke, local colored De-
mosthenes, in speech said he was
not in favor of saloons, at all, but
since their existence was to be sanct-
ioned, he thought the separation of
the races a matter of necessity.
When whites and blacks get jagged
together in the same thirst parlor
trouble was sure to enSue. He said
the whites are in favor of jim crow
cars, restaurants and hotels, and he
thought it inconsistent to crowd the
two races together in the saloon.

Company, owners of the steamer
Virginia have instituted suit against
c. NJ. Driver of Pittsburg, the con-
tractor on the piers for the bridge at
Steubenville, which it is alleged
caused the recent accident to the
Virginia.
The Virginia on her way up the
river rammed against the pier near
the wharfboat, and was so badly
rippled that two tows were required
to keep her afoat. The contractor
and bridge people were charged with
negligence. A suit was brought.
A sum of money. said to have been
$4,000 which was coming to Driver
as contractor, was temporarily tied
up in the hands of a Steubenville
bank. By giving security Driver
secured the money. The prepara-
tons for litigation have been drag

positions have been taken. Capt.
James A. Henderson, of the packet

bring the case to an issue, but has
been unsuccessful. Captain Hender-
son stated that the reasons for the
delay are not apparent to him. The

CENSUS SUPERVISORS.

There is promised hitch in the
selection of census supervisors in the
West Virginia districts. The State
will get FIVE supervisors and an easy
way of alIotting them will be to al
low one supervisor to each congress
ional district. The pity is that the
state does not get-seven so that each
house member and each senator
would be given bit of very clever
patronage. There is bound to be
clash when it comes to picking men
who will be pleasing both to senators
and representatives and the first sign
of woe is in the Second district where
the senators have indicated prefer
ence for the selection of Hon. A. L.
Helmick the agile and able Reprbli-
can leader of Tucker county. As
told in my dispatch to the InteIligen--
Ger week ago, Congressman stur-
giss had made known his desire to
appoint his friend childs, of Harpers
Ferry. This bit of news startled
Helmick triae but he recovered
rapidly under the treatment of At
torney General conley and the Hon.
Sam Montgomery, both of them be-
ing friendly to Sturgiss and anxious
to fix up things harmoniously for the
future. Now it develops that the
senators agreed on Helmick for the
census appointment and it is up to
the senators and the congressman for
some sort of an arrangement that
will prevent undue friction.
