The Daily Republican. MONONGAHELA, Slippery Car Loading. The mill men down town are having a share of the recent freeze and the sleet storm. Manufacturing Company's works, workmen are busy with a load of machinery for phosphate crusher, destined for Florida. pipe and fire brick are frozen together by ice, into solid chunks and piles, and it is not boy's play to get them shape for a trip is to the tropicsfrom ice to orange blossoms.

At Blythe mill a lot of timber. for the river bridge at Homestead is being loaded. Each stick of timber coated with ice, and the handling of such big. slippery lumber is very trying on a man's religion. But Jim Dewalt is a good Methodist, and there is as little swearing as consistent with the character of the work.

This company has a big contract for bridge timber, and is shipping it as fast as needed. The lumber for the false work at the Oliver bridge is all to come from home mill, but Dewalt says that four bridge timber loading in midwinter is 1 not considered funny business by the mill hands. Mr. Alten stands by and makes an occasional "remark," but as he does it in German, our reporter is unable to distinguish whether it is encouragement or profanity; he only knows that slippery sticks and cold weather prevail all about the siding. Isaac Yohe watched the process for a few minutes, and then said he was going to Egypt, where it was warmer.

The welcome and subsequent happy entertainment provided by the members of the Young Ladies' Mission Band; the hearty and ever charming hospitality of Dr.

and Mrs. Maxwell; and merry interest and enjoyment of the young people present, on which a few older attendants, contented with confidential chat or earnest discussion, smiled gratified approval, all combined to make Monday evening's reception at the Presbyterian parsonage, a truly pleasurable affair. In Dr. Maxweli'sstudy on the second floor were to be found a number of clippings and pictures to puzzle and draw out the children's knowledge of newspaper and magazine advertising which proved thoroughly entertaining to the bevy of little folks there; while down stairs chief interest and amusement centered in the illustrations and quaint devices fasnioned to suggest and represent standard literary works and popular fiction. As the result of the book contest a dainty edition of a "Window in Thrums" was presented the winner, Mrs.

Hazzard. Not minor in importance were the refreshments, delicious chocolate and cake, served by the Mission Band members, and throughout, the evening was one of satisfaction and diversion. Double Track 1 to Mouongahela. To-day the Monongahela Division opened miles of new track at this point, between Black Diamond and New Eagle to be governed by telegraph towers which have been placed at each end. This is but one more addition which will make the entire division double track between Pittsburg and this The handling of heavy freight trains and side-tracking them so as not to interfere with the movement of passenger trains has given the officials much trouble.

and on this account the need of a double track as far as Monongahela has been made apparent. With a double track road even to Monongahela, this difficulty would be removed. and when it is secured the clamor for additional trains on the Monongahela Division, which has been made from time to time, will probably be recognized. There has been some trouble experienced in obtaining, the right of way an through West Elizabeth, and last Monday the road ran a special train carrying the members of the Elizabeth council to Monongahela. where they were shown how the track was put through at that point.

New Towers Open. The telegraph towers situated at the ends of the recently completed donble track between Black Diamond and New Eagle, will be opened for business to-morrow, and will employ night and day men. 0. S. Masters, formerly of Thompson is the day operator at Black Diamond.

and Geo. H. Bartholmew, of Charleroi, the night man. R. 0.

Schafer. formerly operator at West Elizabeth, will be in charge of the track at New Eagle during the day, and A. C. Turner, of Allenport, at night. The addition of these offices to the line.

will greatly relieve the opertors at Monongahela who often have been taxed to their utmost capacity by the amount of work. Damaged by the Flood During the late flood and breakup in the river in consequence large quan tities of logs and heavy drift piled up and with heavy masses of gorged ice, passed over dam No. 6, it was slightly injured and the safety of the structure seriously threatened if not repaired before another rise. Notwithstanding inclement weather a successful effort was made last week to get at the break. While there was at least two feet of water over the dam, and some ice running, the Navigation Company's repair force succeeded in shutting of the water as cola and icy as it was.

and making all necessary repairs, thus avoiding serious injury to it, the structure, to which it would be liable, in case of another rise. Police Notes.
