FIRE COMPANIES GALORE

CITY COUNCIL RECOGNIZES TWO NEW ORGANIZATIONS IN THE UPPER WARDS.

CAPT. MALONE HAD ON HIS KICKING HARNESS FROM START TO FINISH.

The City Council held its regular June meeting Monday evening with all the members present.

The wharfmaster reported $24 collected as wharfage for May. A resolution was passed to compel all long line boats to pay wharfage. The Hatcher, Little Queen and other local packets were excepted.

The street commissioner mentioned several places where the culverts across the streets ought to be made larger. One is near Adam Long's on Sugar Run street and one on Lincoln Hill. At that point Capt. Malone began kicking about the Enterprise Landing and he did credit to a Texas broncho. He finally got the street committee to go to look at the place and to order it repaired. He said they had to have flying machines to get people on and off boats there.

The Wildermuth sidewalk in the Fourth Ward was reported completed, also the sidewalk at the Rolling Mill, except a small piece where the railroad track crosses the street. The street committee was authorized to receive bids and award contracts for crossings above the Rolling Mill and at the lower Hocking Valley depot.

Ordinances for paving the streets heretofore mentioned, were read the first time, the rules suspended and read the second and third times and passed.

The levy for the coming year was fixed as follows: Interest fund, 6.7 mills, light fund, 1.7 mills, police fund, .3 mills, sinking fund, .01 mills, sanitary fund, .06 mills, fire department fund, .7 mills, and street fund 1.83 mills, total 12 mills. This is the same total as last year.

The Pomeroy Iron & Steel Company was granted the privilege by ordinance to lay water and steam pipes under Condor street. After the first of July this company expects to move their boilers across the street. Malone made a fight for time on the passage of this ordinance, but he was voted down. He said that he did not know that he was opposed to the ordinance, but wanted an investigation.

At this point Capt. Barnes arose in his place and stated that a fire company 25 strong had been organized in the Second Ward, that fire plugs had been put in shape there and he asked the Council to recognize the company, which was done.

Capt. Malone then bounced to his feet and stated that he had a company of 135 members in the First Ward which he wanted recognized. He said it included everybody there except four cripples. He said they have a plug, too. He said that they have everything up there necessary for a fire company - they have water, buildings to catch fire and men to put the fire out. After much discussion he cut the number of patriots willing to serve their country to 25 and the prayed-for recognition was granted. The discussion of the matter created a good deal of levity and some pretty lively tilts.

A motion was then passed to advertise for bids for street paving and Council adjourned for two weeks.

MORE BONDS SOLD.

Meigs County sold $35,000 4 1/2 per cent bonds Friday for the purpose of taking up the floating indebtedness of the county. They were bought by D. H. Moore, President of the Pomeroy National bank, for $150 premium. There were four other bidders, viz: Seasongood & Mayer, $135; W. J. Hayes, $100.25; Rudolph Kleghbolt & Company, $97.50; Lambrecht & Company, $61.50.

THE NEW QUEEN CITY

The new Queen City, companion for the Virginia, was launched at Cincinnati Saturday.

It is conceded to be the finest of her class ever built and floated in the Western rivers. In the old days of steamboating no finer stern-wheel vessel was ever built and entered into service than the Queen City.

The boat is 236 feet long, 44 foot beam, 51 feet wide over all, with a seven-foot depth of hold. Her estimated capacity is 1,460 tons. Her machinery consists of four boilers and an auxiliary boiler, and her engines have an indicated horse power of 2,000. This is the highest power on any boat of the class in the Western waters. There are on the boat in all 14 steam engines for all purposes, such as making electric light, pumping and the like. The boat will be lighted throughout with electricity, there being 400 incandescent lights on her and 100 in the main saloon. The cabins will all be furnished with electric lights, and the cabins will be finished in as fine style as possible. The woodwork on the interior of the main saloon is all of mahogany finish, trimmed with brass mountings, and presents a fine appearance. The ceilings are of the decorative steel sort which has lately come into such favor for uses of this kind. The bottom panels of the cabin floors are trimmed with gold-plated mountings of attractive appearance.

FINE CABIN INTERIOR

The cabins themselves are fitted up in taste, each one being furnished with a nickel-plated water tank, beveled edge plate glass mirror and similar luxurious fittings. There are cabin accommodations on the boat for 160, and the capacity for passenger purposes is 250. For excursion purposes she is allowed 1,600 persons.

The main saloon is decorated in a tasteful and ornamental style. The panels of the forward gangway doors are decorated each one with a scene typical of one of the four seasons, spring, summer, autumn and winter. The paintings are of high order and were executed by David Swing. At the forward end of the main saloon is the most noticeable of all the attempts of the work of the decorator in the instance of the setting off of the name of the boat. The name, "Queen City," appears arising from the waters of the beautiful river, the letters wreathed and twined with a profusion of roses, fully calling to mind Longfellow's famous and oft quoted passage descriptive of the city:

The Queen of the West,
In her garlands dressed,
On the banks of the Beautiful River.

At either end of the fanciful name of the city and the name of the boat spelled by the letters rising from the water and covered with garlands of roses, are seen the banks. on the left is a representation of the Suspension bridge and the city beyond, showing the Chamber of Commerce towering above the other buildings and the tall spire of the First Presbyterian church standing out against the rugged sides of Mt. Adams. Beneath the bridge can be seen the Virginia, the companion boat to the Queen City. On the opposite side of the illuminated name is shown the Central bridge in a view looking up the river and the new upper bridge, rebuilt by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. The Kentucky shore is visible and boats with their tows come and go on the surface of the river.

ARTISTIC PICTURES

The two views are, in themselves attractive pictures and the illumination of the boat's name surrounded by such artistic work is the idea of Captain J. F. Ellison and well worked out by the artist, David Swing.

The prevailing color in the exterior decoration of the boat is red. On the other boat, the Virginia, the color is blue.

A noticeable feature about the boat is a marble tablet forward, upon which is engraved the names of the builders and outfitters. The tablet is a departure from the accepted features of boat-building and one that is full of interest. As the boat was entirely built in Cincinnati and mostly furnished and equipped by Cincinnati firms, it is appropriate that the names of her makers and furnishers should be placed together on a tablet thus. The tablet included names as follows: Cincinnati Marine Railway Company, hull, cabins, &c; McIlvain & Spiegel, boilers; L. Schreiber Sons Co., James Reese & Sons, John H. DeCamp, E. E. Locke, James Horne & Co. , Edw. C. Wendt, Ohio Scroll and Lumber Company, John Van Range Co., Triumph Electric Company, Homan & Co., Kogh & Braunstein, Consolidated Boat Store Company, Crawler & Johnston, Eureka Block and Tackle Company, Cincinnati Manufacturing Company, Wm. Glenny Co.

The formal presentation to the new boat by the Chamber of Commerce of a piano and stand of colors on Thursday will be an event of no little interest. A fund has been raised by the members and the piano and colors purchased. The members of the Chamber will march to the boat after Change hours, headed by the Chamber of Commerce Band. The Mayor and President of the Chamber will make the presentation, and the afternoon or part of it will be spent in a trip up and down the river at the invitation of the owners of the boat.

POSTPONED.

Owing to the bad weather the Cycle Park dedication did not take place last Tuesday evening as was advertised, but will be held Thursday evening, June 10th. In the meantime the grounds have been improved and the track placed in first class condition.

THE DEPARTED

MICHAEL WEISEMAN,

a young man of Monkey Run who was crushed in the Peacock Mine May 16, 1896, and who was helplessly confined to his bed for over a year, died Saturday evening. He had wasted away to a mere skeleton, being paralyzed from his hips downward. He was about 21 years of age at the time of his death and was the only support of a widowed mother. The burial took place from the Catholic Church yesterday morning.

JACOB HOLTER,

one of the oldest residents of Sutton township, died at his home in the Nease Settlement Saturday night. He was over 80 years of age, and leaves a large family of children. The funeral took place Monday afternoon. Burial at the Gilmore cemetery.

MRS. EMMA J. KAUTZ,

wife of Adolph A. Kautz, died suddenly at their residence in the first Ward, Sunday afternoon, a short time after her baby was born. Deceased was 40 years of age. She was married to Mr. Kautz January 12, 1887, and leaves a husband and four children, including the baby. The maiden name of deceased was Emma J. Donaldson. The funeral took place at 2:30 yesterday afternoon. Burial at Beech Grove cemetery.

A. G. KINGSBURY.

A postal card has reached here from Ponca, Nebraska, announcing the death of A. G. Kingsbury, brother of Mrs. W. F. Robinson, formerly of this county. He was ill about three months from gall stones and liver trouble. He submitted to an operation in Sioux City, May 3, and died May 7. He was buried by the Grand Army and Odd Fellows. He leaves a wife and one child.

MARINDA CLINE.

Marinda Branch, widow of the late Madison Cline, was born at Chester, Meigs Co., Ohio, Jan. 23, 1823, and died at St. Joseph, Missouri, June 5, 1897, aged 74 years, 4 months and 18 days.

DIVORCED AND MARRIED

Kanawha Circuit Court
Charleston, W. Va., May 25, 1897
MRS. ROSA DAY, POMEROY, OHIO

Grant P. Hall, Clerk

GOING TO EUROPE

P. L. Pfarr, a Chester township boy who graduated from the Ohio State University last June, leaves Columbus to-day in company with Prof. Plumb, of the Indiana Experiment Station, for three months' travel over Europe. They will spend Saturday and Sunday in Washington City and set sail from New York City Monday. They will visit England, Ireland, Scotland, Holland and Denmark to study the pasteurization and sterilization of milk. On his return Mr. Pfarr will take charge of the dairy department of the Ohio Experiment Station. He is a young man of push and ability and no doubt will make a success in life. By the way, the Meigs County Agricultural Society has another two years' free scholarship to give to some deserving young man of Meigs county who will make application at once. This is valuable to any one who desires to follow scientific farming. Write to H. C. Fish, Pomeroy, for particulars.

DEMOCRATIC DELEGATES

At a meeting of the Democratic Executive Committee of Meigs County Friday afternoon the following delegates were chosen to attend the State Convention the last of this month: C. E. Peoples, J. F. Bowles, A. B. Kibble, Jule Henderson and W. E. Bryan. Alternates: C. J. Vincent, Lewis Caster, R. D. Rawlings, H. A. Parr and J. M. Watts.

C. J. Vincent was nominated for member of the Board of Deputy Supervisor of Elections for Meigs County.

A BIG STORM

Pomeroy had a heavy rainstorm last Thursday afternoon. According to Dr. Allard's measurements 1.68 inches of water fell. Lightning struck Mrs. Pick's residence on Monkey Run and knocked a few boards off it. The Bicycle Park was pretty badly damaged, and as a result the Park opening had to be postponed. The sewer at J. B. Scott's residence on Mulberry street, which has been making so much trouble in the past few years, caved in and will have to be rebuilt.

DR. KNIGHT'S BELIEF

In our notice of Dr. Knight's death last week we stated that he believed that death ends all, which accounted somewhat for the style of funeral he requested. We have since been informed that such was not a fact. We are told that he hoped as ardently as any of us for immortality and on the afternoon of the day before he died he was not afraid of death and that he could trust himself with God. We are sorry that such an assertion should have been made, but published it on what we considered good authority, and knowing that there are many people in the world with such a belief it went in unquestioned.

MARINE

Assistant United States Engineer R. R. Jones is making preparations to resume the survey of the Ohio River from Pittsburg to Marietta. This survey was begun last year, and completed as far as East Liverpool. As soon as the stage of the river will permit, the survey will be resumed. The survey is being made with the view of obtaining all information possible for use in improving the river by locks and dams. It will hardly be completed this season. Marietta is supposed to be the southern terminus of the locks and dams of the river.

The Smoky City laid up at Middleport last Wednesday and paid off her crew.

John Parks, aged 19 years, second engineer of the Ida Smith, died at the Marine Hospital at Gallipolis, Friday evening. He was taken to Ravenswood for burial.

NEW WHEELING PACKET

The brand, spanking new steamer W. J. Cummings, belonging to Capt. Mack Gamble, just completed at Marietta, and having a 500-ton capacity, made her maiden trip Saturday. She left Wheeling for Cincinnati, and will run regularly between Cincinnati and Wheeling as an independent weekly packet.

DEMOCRAT CORRESPONDENTS CONVENTION

The regular annual convention of the correspondents of the Democrat took place last Saturday, June 5th. The correspondents from all over the county gathered at the Court House in the morning, and after the Boxwell diploma presentations they went to the wharf and boarded the steamer Mary L. Hatcher for the purpose of an excursion up the river. The Pomeroy Band was aboard and kept up the spirits of the writers by plenty of stirring, solemn and ear-destroying music, decorations were galore, and all in all no more suitable setting could be established for a day of pleasure.

At Syracuse the boat landed and the crowd moved to the college campus, where dinner was served. Among the two hundred people present there appeared to be nearly as many well filled baskets and in a remarkably short time a feast was before the people capable of causing any journalist's eyes to sparkle and fit to satisfy his appetite.

After dinner came the business and literary events; the election of officers for the ensuing year constituting the business. All the officers of last year were re-elected. The program, while perhaps just a little short, was very beneficial and interesting. Essays entitled "Mother, Home and Heaven" and "Literature" were among the other good things. And Prof. Coates was there, too! It is well understood what he added to the fun of the occasion by his humorous selections.

Again the crowd boarded the boat and she steamed on up the river as far as Racine, and returned to the wharf here somewhat after three o'clock.

Correspondents, friends, band boys - in fact everybody was loud in his gratitude for his courteous treatment at the hands of Mr. Peoples.

This being an annual affair, anticipation is great for the repetition of the enjoyment next year, although likely in another manner.

OHL-CONANT

TOLEDO, OHIO, June 6. The social event of the week, and one of the most brilliant affairs of the season, was the marriage of Miss Mary Cynthia Conant to Mr. Franklin M. Ohl, which was solemnized at the home of Mrs. Walter Newell Conant on Tuesday afternoon. The residence of the bride's mother was beautifully decorated for the nuptials, the reigning tints being pink and green. For a long time Miss Conant was acknowledged as one of Toledo's reigning belles, and she never looked more queenly than when as a bride she appeared in a gown of lustrous white satin with its garniture of lace. She carried white roses. The maid of honor, Miss Edna Bolles, of Chicago, wore white mousselaine de sole over pink silk, and carried pink roses. J. K. Ohl, of Washington, served as best man for his brother, and Miss Conant's brother, Mr. Frank Conant, gave the bride away. The ceremony was pronounced by Dr. W. W. Williams. Mr. and Mrs. Ohl will spend their honeymoon in Montreal and New York.

REV. FISCHER RESIGNS

Rev. G. Fischer, pastor of the German Presbyterian church at the corner of Linn and Second streets for the past nine years, has resigned and accepted a call to a church at Monroeville, Ohio, 33 miles north of Columbus. He preaches his farewell sermon July 18, and leaves immediately thereafter. The church and the community at large regret his departure.
