It was four feet, two inches in length, was spotted and had a hard, bony spike on its tail about 2 inches long. They were gathering flowers and when they stirred it out it took the end of its tail in its mouth and began to roll away like a barrel hoop. A well directed blow with a club stopped its rolling.

Column 4

CAPT. ROBERT BARNES

THE FATHER OF THE SIDEWALK BICYCLE ORDINANCE THE FIRST TO BREAK IT.

All Pomeroy has a horse on Capt. Robert Barnes, the Senator from the Second Ward, which is at least 17 hands high. He was elected to the City Council this spring, and among his first official acts was to get an ordinance through Council to prevent frisky bicyclists from riding on the sidewalk on Front street and on Court street. The ordinance went into effect last Friday, and that ordinance was not three days old, before the sportive Captain had punctured a hole in it big enough to let out a cat.

Sunday morning the local lawmaker and erstwhile bicycle sport, mounted his wheel in the Second Ward and rolled leisurely off down town. At the same time he was resolving some weighty matter in his mind, and unthoughtedly rolled along down the sidewalk in front of the Midway block with the eclat of a Grecian soldier going out to meet the unspeakable Turk. He wore his peaked cap and baggy knee breeches with the grace and ease of a Roman Senator. As he emerged at the Linn street crossing, a bystander reminded him that he was playing fox and goose with the law -- his own law. Thereupon, the Captain's mind was recalled from wool gathering with such suddenness that he was very nearly thrown from his wheel and he shot out into the street like he had been fired from a catapult. It was not an hour until the whole town had heard of the Captain's slip and was poking fun at him. He took the whole matter good-naturedly, however, and Monday evening, when Joe Andrews swore out a warrant for him before Mayor Seebohm, on the charge of fracturing a city ordinance without the fear of the law before his eyes, he peddaled down to the Mayor's office, pleaded guilty and was fined $1 and costs, amounting to $1.85.

His Honor gave the Captain a good-natured lecture on the observance of the law, and the Captain responded by complimenting the Mayor on his diligence in enforcing the same and hoped he would be as faithful in other cases that might come before him. There was a good-sized audience in the Mayor's office to see the Captain walk up and toe the mark.

NEW REMINGTON LEASED

Monday B. R. Remington leased his new hotel for five years to J. C. Morris, late of the Park Central at Gallipolis. Mr. Morris will take charge at once and begin furnishing the building, but will not open up until about August 1. It will be furnished in modern style and will be the best hotel in southern Ohio outside of the large cities. Mr. Morris has had a great deal of experience in the hotel business and has always been successful. Himself and estimable wife are not unknown to our people. He was formerly landlord of the old Gibson House here before. It was remodeled and made the Grand Dilcher, and he opened this new hostlery. From here he went to Huntington and took charge of the Hollerden Hotel, later came back to Middleport as landlord of the Grandview and later still went into the Park Central at Gallipolis.

ALLEGED MOCK MARRIAGE

A PECULIAR STORY TOLD HERE YESTERDAY BY A GALLIPOLIS WOMAN.

A strange young woman made her appearance in town yesterday, claiming to be Mrs. Henry McElhinney of Gallipolis. She went to the Court House to get a certificate of her marriage, which she said took place here on the 31st of last October. She said her maiden name was Minnie Siders and that she came up here last fall with McElhinney, who is a finisher in the Gallipolis furniture factory, to get married. They went to the Court House, as she claims, and she stood out in the hall, while McElhinney went into the Probate Judge's office to get a license. After a while he came out and they proceeded to some place in town, she does not remember where, and a marriage ceremony was performed by a strange man, whom McElhinney said was a minister. They went back to Gallipolis and lived together as man and wife. Recently she began to suspicion that there was something wrong and came up here to get a marriage certificate. She made a mistake and got a blank pictorial certificate to frame. When she took this home McElhinney raised considerable of a racket and finally told here that they never had been married and that she'd find no record of it.

She came back yesterday [to] get a certificate of their marriage and was greatly shocked to find that there had never been a marriage license issued to parties by that name. She went back home vowing that she'd prosecute McElhinney and the man who played minister on that fateful October day.

BURGLARY IN SCIPIO

Last Wednesday night some one broke into the residence of Albert Coates, two miles east of Pageville, and stole two watches, a suit of clothes and some bed clothing. He was in town Monday and left the numbers of the watches with the jewelers.

COLUMN 5

The School Board met in special session Monday evening with all the members present. There was not much to do. John B. Downing, Jr., was paid 50 cents for an easel furnished the schools.

It was decided to make the price of admission at the coming Commencement 10 and 15 cents. It was thought that this price would assure a good attendance.

Rev. Turnbull appeared before the Board on behalf of the circulating library. He asked permission to have the library removed from Dr. Whaley's office to the library room in the High School building. This library has lately added about 50 new books, making the number now about 250. These added to the 150 High School books will make about 400. The privilege was granted and the library will be moved. A librarian will be there every Wednesday and Saturday afternoons to give out the books to the subscribers.

FELL BY THE WAYSIDE

A STRANGER OF GENTLE BIRTH AND BREEDING IS PICKED UP ON THE STREET AT MINERSVILLE IN AN UNCONSCIOUS CONDITION.

A man bearing all the marks of a perfect gentleman appeared in Minersville last Friday between 12 and 1 o'clock, and when near Jacob Simon's store he fell to the ground. Within a short time several bystanders were at the side of the stranger and carried him to Ed Rhodes' barbershop, where restoratives were given him which served to "bring him to." After the man recovered sufficiently to talk he told a sad story, which contained romance and foundation enough for a novel.

To a Tribune-Telegraph representative he told the following story: "My name is Charles Ottis Gebhardt and I was born in Germany, where I grew to be a young man and became acquainted with a young lady with whom I fell in love. We had a quarrel in our family and the girl and myself quarreled, and I left my native home for America. I have worked at my trade, that of a wood carver, wherever I could get work. The last place I was employed was near Cincinnati. I am now 46 years of age and alone. I have a brother in Baltimore in the wholesale liquor business." and here he produced a clipping from the Press-Post of Columbus, O., which gave an extended account of the man's former life. It stated that Gebhardt's father was a well-known railroad man in Germany; that one of his brothers was a government officer with headquarters at Berlin; that our subject was walking the streets of Columbus when he fell on one of the principal streets exhausted from walking and the lack of food, and that he was on the point of starvation, and in reply to the question why he did not ask for something to eat, he replied: I am no beggar." thus showing that he would rather starve than beg. He was taken to the city hospital in Columbus where he was cared for and remained over a week.

During his stay in this country he married and his wife is dead. A few days ago he received a letter from his old home in Germany stating that his mother was dead and that there was due him 31,000 marks, which is equal to about $8,000 in U.S. money. The stranger was cared for by Ed Rhodes, Isaiah Rummel and Leonard Greuser, the last keeping his all night. Saturday morning he started for Ravenswood where a relative of his wife lives and where he will rest and recuperate and wait the development of his expected fortune.

WATCH RECOVERED

Monday afternoon Andrew Sayre, cook on the Little Queen, dropped a gold watch in the river just outside of the wharfboat in 18 feet of water. He gave it up for lost and went off on the boat. Shortly afterward Andy Kohl came along and was shown the spot where the watch went into the water, whereupon he lashed a dip net to a long spike pole and dragged it along the bottom of the river. At the first trial he drew the watch up in the net. It was still running.

Column 6

MARINE

Capt. Robert R. Agnew, has been appointed commander of the new steamer Queen City, which the Pittsburgh and Cincinnati Packet Line is building, and will have in cimmission (sic) in 30 days, is one of the youngest men on the river, but old in the service of the line. Capt. Agnew who is commander of the Hudson, is receiving the congratulations of his friends over the appointment. It was concluded by everyone spoken to that it was a most merited elevation. Capt. Agnew is a great favorite among the people who travel on the river and he will no doubt add new laurels to his already large collection. Capt. Agnew says the crew for the new steamer will not be selected for several weeks.

The United States steamer Bee, intended for snagging, dredging and keeping the Great Kanawha river in navigable condition, has been rebuilt at Point Pleasant docks, and will now go to Charleston and take up her old place at the bank.

A model barge belonging to the Carnegie Company, containing 500 tons of steel rails, destined for New Orleans, sunk at West Louisville. The barge was towed there by the Moren and was to have been taken South by one of the boats of the Barrett line.

The Steamer Hudson has been chartered to the Coney Island Packet Company, of Cincinnati, and will enter the trade May 29 under command of Capt. John Sweeney, mate of the Virginia. The Queen City will take the place of the Hudson and will be commanded by Capt. R. R. Agnew. The new boat will leave here on the Hudson's day.

Capt. W. L. Downie has commenced repairing the wharfboat by putting in new out riggers and guards.

The M. P. Wells formerly in the Ravenswood and Middleport trade has had a complete new cabin put on here at Cincinnati.

The Frank Gilmore was sold at Pittsburgh last week by the Sheriff to Captain Briggs.

Capt. Jack Leonard has been appointed mate of the Pittsburgh and Cincinnati Packet Company's new steamer, Queen City. Captain Leonard is a first-class man, and will have the finest boat on the river. Captain Leonard was formerly master of the John K. Speed.

The venerable engineer, Wm. Johnston, father of Capt. Johnston of the engineering firm of Crawley & Johnston and of chief Engineer George Johnston of the fast flyer Virginia, has also stood his last watch, rang his last bell and closed the throttle forever on his sphere. He died in Newport Thursday.

Capt. Frisbie, of Cincinnati, will visit his old home at Chester this week.

John Long, the veteran steamboat clerk, died at Vevay, Indiana Sunday.

The following description of English steamboats for the African river service will be found very interesting to Ohio River steamboatmen: "Stearn-wheel (sic) steamers with two wheels and compound engines have been built by Easton, Anderson & Goolden, of Erith, England, for the African river service of the Royal Niger Co. The hull is of steel, 317 feet long, 27 feet beam, 6 feet deep, with a draft of 26 inches. The square stern is indented or cut away at each corner to make room for a wheel 11 feet diameter, with 8 floats, 5 1/2 by 1 1/2 feet The center part of the hull is extended between the wheels and forms the support of the shafts, the sides being curved inward to give a free flow of water to the wheels. The wheels normally work together, but the shaft may be disconnected by a clutch. Each engine has two inclined cylinders, 10 by 30 and 22 by 26 inches, the low pressure cylinder being below and the high pressure cylinder above the center line of the shaft. Steam is supplied by a single ended cylindrical boiler 9 1/2 feet diameter and 9 1/2 feet long. On the trial trip, with a boiler pressure of 126 pounds, the engines developed 188 HP at 13 revolutions per minute and gave the vessel a speed of 7.38 knots per hour." A steamboat like the one just described would be nothing less than a monstrosity on the Ohio River.

SALT COMBINE

At a meeting of the salt manufacturers of the Pomeroy Bend at the Pomeroy National Bank the other day a movement was set on foot to combine the products of the various furnaces and attempt to raise the price of 280 pound barrels to 65 cents and bulk salt to 6 cents per bushel. The organization has not yet been perfected.
