THE LONG DISTANCE TELEPHONE

It is quite interesting to watch the men engaged in the business of erecting the long distance telephone line, which is passing through this city this week, There are about 90 men at work. In the beginning a squad comes along locating the line. They are followed by a squad whose business it is to secure franchises, then comes those who dig the holes, the pole raisers, those who trim away the tree branches and then the wire stringers. One man is kept busy finding places for the men to board as they pass along and another is on the move hauling out dinner buckets at noon and distributing them, moving the tools, grip sacks, etc. Through this city the Central Union poles are taken down and better ones put up for the use of both companies. There will soon be a station here where one can talk to nearly any place in the United States.

NEW CATHOLIC CHURCH

There is an animated move on foot to begin the erection of a $16,000 Catholic church in this city the coming summer on a site near the present church.

In this connection it may be stated that there is also good prospects of the German M. E. people making a move in the same direction this spring, not on so extensive a scale, however.

Mr. DUMBLE'S DECLINE

Last Monday, we were at Middleport, and called on J. W. Dumble, who is very sick; has been so for several months. His malady is catarrh of the stomach. His face wore the genial smile of years ago, but his weight is down to a hundred ponds or less. He does not seem to get better. Mr. Dumble was foreman of the Register office before the war, and many of our people remember him kindly. - Ironton Register.

It will be sad news to many here to learn of Mr. Dumble's decline. His responsible connection with the Marietta Register for a dozen years gave him a wide acquaintance and made him many friends. It is sincerely to be hoped that his malady may yield and his health be restored. - Marietta Register.

DEATH OF JOHN V. WEBB

THE SPIRIT OF A GOOD MAN AND TRUE PASSES TO THE GREAT BEYOND.

John V. Webb is dead! His immortal spirit took its flight from earth at 10:7 (sic) o'clock standard time last Wednesday evening, March 24th.

Few outside of the immediate family and close friends had any hint that the end was near until shocked by the announcement of his demise. Thirty-six hours before the call came he was apparently on the high road to speedy recovery.

It will be remembered that Mr. Webb fell from the commuter steps while getting ready to leave the train at his home in the Fourth Ward on the 28th of January, breaking his right leg at the thigh and otherwise injuring himself. He was carried to his home a few rods away and tenderly nursed by wife, sister and friends, and given the best medical attention by Dr. Hysell & Stobart. No one had the slightest idea that he would not speedily recover and be out again early in April at least. The nature of his fractured leg was such that he was compelled to lie on the flat of his back for about five weeks, but after the fixtures were removed he immediately sat up and in a few days was moved about in a chair. Finally he got to going about on crutches and was able to get out on the front porch on Saturday a week ago. In the meantime, however, he began to complain of a peculiar pulling down sensation about his breast and on two or three occasions remarked to the writer that he feared that he had suffered some internal injury in the fall and would never recover. About the time he first began to sit up he had two or three bad days as the result of pains about his heart. On Monday night of last week these pains recurred, first attacking the right shoulder and side and drifting across the breast to the heart. On Tuesday his condition became alarming and his father and Mrs. Webb's mother were summoned by telegraph. He gradually grew worse until 10:7 (sic) that evening, when life left his body suddenly. He was conscious to the last and was able to converse with his family. Drs. Hysell & Stobart were with him all the time of the 24 hours he was in an alarming condition, also Drs. Hartinger and Miller visited him, but they were unable to stay the hand of death.

These physicians gave it as their opinions that death was the result of the injury. Some of the internal organs were injured in such a manner as to not manifest itself until he got to going about on his feet. His last hours were ones of extreme pain, partially relieved by opiates, but he maintained his fortitude to the end. A more cheerful and philosophical patient never passed through nearly two months of suffering.

Friday afternoon at the instance of the Standard Life and Accident Company of Detroit, Michigan, in which deceased had a $2,000 accident policy, a postmortem examination was held to determine the exact condition of the heart and surrounding organs. Drs. Reed and Thomas, of Middleport, and Mullen, of Pomeroy, made the examination on behalf of the company, while Drs. Hysell & Stobart, of this city, and Dr. D. S. Hartinger, Middleport, looked on in the interest of the widow and orphans. So far as given out by the physicians nothing was found to indicate that death was not caused by the accident.

Born 40 years ago the 25th of last August, the deceased was cut off in the full vigor of manhood. In fact he had just prepared himself to live to a ripe old age educated and possessing all the gentler and refined instincts he could live to the full worth or life surrounded by his family and his books. There was but one ache in his manly and generous heart that could not be healed - a gnawing pain that often caused him to pause in the rush of business life and gaze into space for an answer to the question as to why it was sent to him - why Death, that relentless nemesis of mankind, should seek the bosom of his family and rob him of the only sweet girl baby of the home. The wound caused by the death of his little daughter, Mary Grace, a year ago last fall, had not healed, but her presence in a better world drew his attention thitherward.

Deceased was born in Salem township, this county, his parents being Mr. and Mrs. R. H. D. Webb, who reside three miles from Dexter. Besides his parents he leaves four sisters.

Mr. Webb began teaching in the common schools of his native township in 1878, when a mere youth and continued with great success until he came to Pomeroy in 1890 to take charge of the local department of the

Column 5

Pomeroy Democrat, which position he held until his death. He was a writer of marked ability and his influence was widely felt and appreciated. He had the happy faculty of using plain language and making himself understood.

For many years previous to coming to town he was a valued correspondent of many of the county papers.

Two years ago he was elected a member of the Pomeroy School Board and took a deep interest in the progress and prosperity of the schools. He had a year to serve on his first term when he died. He was also a member of the Board of Health. He has held other positions of trust with equal credit and satisfaction.

March 22, 1874, Mr. Webb was united in marriage with Miss Cora D. Darst, a school teacher of Salem township. To them were born three children, George, Wesley and Mary Grace, the latter dying November 19, 1893, at the age of three years. The boys are aged about 11 and 8 years respectively.

Mr. Webb made careful provision for his family and leaves them in a comfortable position financially. It was the main desire of his life to make it possible for his children to have an education in case anything befell him while they were yet in their youth. Besides a comfortable home in Pomeroy, he left a small farm near Dexter, a life insurance policy in the Michigan Mutual Life Insurance Company worth $1,373.10 and $2000 accident insurance in the Standard Life and Accident Company, of Detroit.

On Friday evening before his accident on the next Thursday he took the Page rank in the order of Knights of Pythias of Pomeroy Lodge No. 596. Under the law he was not entitled to sick benefits, but the members turned out and assisted in nursing him. The lodge also attended the funeral in a body.

Mr. Webb was a man of strong likes and dislikes. If a man was his friend he was a friend in return to the fullest sense of the term. He formed few intimate friendships, however. No man was fully admitted to his confidence until he had passed the crucial test of friendship.

While not a member of any church, Mr. Webb was a man of the strictest integrity, uprightness and honor, and those who were nearest to him know of his devout nature, cool, calm and sunny disposition. He was a man of few words, but strong and unflinching convictions, which he always stood ready to defend.

Over his desk at the Democrat office hangs a picture of his little daughter which looked down on him with the innocent eyes of childhood. He has said that if he ever contemplated doing a mean act, he never could have done it with those child eyes resting upon him.

The funeral took place from the M. E. Church at 10 o'clock Saturday morning, Rev. Sparks officiating, assisted by Rev. Bridwell. The church was crowded with friends and acquaintances. The pall bearers were selected from among the newspaper people of the Pomeroy Bend, as follows: W. H. Huntley, A. W. Hartley, Will Yeager and Chas. A Hartley, of the Tribune-Telegraph, S. J. Newell, of the Leader, and David Miller, Jr., of the Middleport Republican-Herald.

There were fine floral offerings by the Knights and the teachers of the Pomeroy schools. The Knights, the Pomeroy teachers and the School Board attended the funeral in bodies.

-- Chas. A. Hartley

MARINE

The Boaz on her way up from New Orleans, arrived here Monday and tied up at the ice piers, while Steward Theo. Guenther came ashore to visit his parents and sisters.

The Joseph Walton passed down yesterday for St. Louis on a three months trip. John and Peter Kober, of this city, are members of the crew.

The Ada V. is engaged in towing ship timber from Pt. Pleasant to the incline.

The Eagle is having her boilers repaired at Middleport.

Capt. Mack Gamble, of Marietta, left Nashville, Tenn., last Friday with his boat, the W. R. Cummings, which he purchased for $12,000.

The Handy No. 2 will be put on the docks at Middleport this week, where she is to receive a new hull.

The Geo. W. Moredock and the Jessie both got out last week with tows of coal and salt. The Moredock also had a barge of cinders.

The Tom Rees No. 2 passed here Thursday and had in tow the Fallie, which broke her shaft at Maysville last week.

Val. Kohl, steward on the Tom Rees No. 2, stopped off here several hours Thursday. He left at noon on the Ohio River road to catch his boat at Ravenswood.

James Rees & Sons, of Pittsburg, have about completed another steel hull freight and passenger boat for the Magdalena river, South America. The dimensions of the hull are 33 feet wide and 145 feet long. The boat will be shipped to its destination in sections. This makes the 13th steel hull boat which this firm has built for South American firms. Many Ohio river steamboatmen are now located in that section. Capt. Thomas Rees, of the firm, says that they expect to turn out several more boats during the year for South American waters, but that they have very little work on hand at present. He says that the machinery for the new Queen City is about ready to be shipped to its destination.

The current of the Ohio river has cut away acres of the land of Tow Head Island of late years, but many acres have been added to the lower end of it, and it continues to grow in length and width at the lower end, where it is only a matter of time when it will be joined to the shore above the coalboat landings and coal floats, says the Courier-Journal.

The Ohio river is 975 miles long, but a third of this is bends, as the direct distance from Pittsburg to Cairo is only 615 miles. It drains about 225,000 square miles, which embraces parts of 12 States. At Pittsburg it is 1,021 feet above the sea and 322 at Cairo, which makes an average of only about 9 inches of fall in a mile, yet at Louisville it descends 27 feet in two and one-half miles. The current, at an ordinary stage, ranges from one to three miles an hour, and in places with much greater velocity. Its width at an ordinary stage is from 1,000 to 3,600 feet. At Pomeroy it is less than 1,500 feet. The amount of freight carried on it is said to be greater than that of any other river in this country. When the importance of the river is considered, it isn't strange that it should sometimes swell out of its banks.

The Raymond Horner passed here Monday evening with the largest tow of coal that was ever handled by a single towboat on this end of the Ohio. Oh here last trip she started from Pittsburg with 14 coalboats and 2 barges and took on some more coalboats and two barges at Bellaire, swelling her tow to 20 coalboats and 4 barges. The amount of coal handled approximated over 500,000 bushels, and her pilots are not blowing much about it, either. The pilot who can safely steer through the channel span at the Steubenville bridge with 14 coalboats and 2 barges is certainly a genius.
