Expect River to Be Open.

There is every prospect that the river
will be open for navigation before March
4. so that the steamboat lines operating
to the lower river counties of Maryland
and Virginia will be able to bring WIS.,
1tors to Washington to witness the in
auguration. The ice now covering the
river has softened in the past twenty
four hours and If a warm rain comes
1t will hasten its going. AS yet, it IS
stated, there is little movement of the
Ice, but the tug Captain Toby went down
to Alexandria and returned Yesterday
without difficulty.
The danger now is that the heavy ice
covering the flats will work out into the
channel. and as it is thick trouble will
be caused for all but the big screw
steamers. From the forks of the chan
mel to Georgetown there is a track
broken through the ice. but on each side
1T is lying as thick as ever. though it is

burns the ashes over again. Cold as
II was yesterday, he heated his build
ing Ali day with the oil and ashes. His
ires had been banked with coal Friday
night. Yesterday morning he shook
them down and fed them with the oil
mixture and used no more coal until
last evening. when he again banked
his fires with 1t.
He buys the crude oil by the barrel at
a cost Of is cents a gallon. He gets II
for each empty barrel, which reduces
the price of the oil to about 10 cents
a gallon. Mr.. Mahoney figures the cost
liz about the same as for coal. but Its
use saves coal and gives him quick,
