Another chapter of the same old story-rains, rise aud run of coah While the continued drizzle of the past three days was making life miserable tor humanity, the little streams op the Mon-ongahela valley were growing dpeper and combining to give Old Monon a boost.

They got there fairly well and as a result there is a coal- boat siage of water here just now. At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon the suage at the foot of Market street registered a depth of 10 feet. The water was still rising at that hour though not quite so rapidly as earlier ia tbe day. Telegrams from points up the Mononahela report the water as risin while advices from theheadwatrs of the Allegheny tell an exactly opposite story. The amount of coal that will be shipped on this rise will not be very heavy.

It will run somewhere between two and three million bushels. A little coal went out yesterday, the Frank Gil-more and William Bonner leaving with tows. The greater part of the shipment will be taken oat to-day. The following boats will leave with tows: Alarm, Tercy Kelsey, Tom Dods worth, J. C.

A Chicago Congressman Wants Another Term for That Purpose. I New YorkTnbune.J The presence iu Washington of "Billy" Masou, the popular Chicago congressman, is known to all men about the departments. lie has a few matters which require the attention of various cabinet officers, but like others he finds that a cabinet officer's time just now is a good deal more precious than rubies.

I stayed a couple of weeks after inauguration," said Mr. Mason, "but couldn't. even get time for an introduction to the gentlemen who make up President Harrison's official family. It wasn't their fault aud I didu't bear them any hard feelings. I did think though that after a month there ought to be some show, so .1 came back to Washington determined to give three whole days to making cabinet calls, as the ladies would say.

1 found the same people sitting around the anterooms that were there when I left and I came near sticking a pin into some of them to see if they weren't wax figures. "The first day I saw the stenographer of the postmaster-general's private secretary, got a nod of recognition from Clarkson, and established friendly relations with the elevator man. The second day I was introduced to the private secretary of the secretary of the interior, and made the acquaintance of the department messenger. I also bad a chance to gaze at the pictures of the interior secretaries who have gone before and whose faces now look down from the walls. But the secretary himself didn't get back from the cabinet meetiug and I had to go to ray hotel and get some So I missed him.

The third day I divided in three parts one for the secretary of the navy, one for the secretary of war and one for the attorney-general. But I stopped at the White House to tell General Harrison a new story I had heard and before 1 knew it the only men left at any of the departments for me to see were the night-watchmen. I'm thinking now of going home and asking my people to give me auother term so that 1 may get acquainted wit h. the cabinet." Didn't Like It. Youth's Companion.

An actor near me told me a characteristic anecdote of an actress whose back was toward us. She is Miss and when she played pleading Snakespeareaa parts in the provinces her rival was Miss who was taking the same character iu another company. My unknown friend had supported both, aud what Miss A said to him about her rival was that "she had once met B. at Tate, the agent's, and B. spoke so much about herself that she" (the unhappy Miss A) "could not get a word in edgeways." Subsequently, Mis B.

informed him that "sue once hail a talk with at Tate's, if that could be called a talk in which A. tongue waggled continuously about her own a flairs from beginning to end of Continvif From First raqc. ings and Governor Green's residence are elaborately decorated.

Harris-. and Mrs. Morton Will Wear on That Night. Ni York. April 2Q.

At the centennial ball Mrs. Harrison will wear a superb gown which she selected during her winter visit to New York, to don tbe first time at the centennial ball. It is made of pure white faille of exquisite texture. Tho front o( the skirt is covered with a deep flounce of white tulle from waist to hem. The tulle is bangled with small siAer drops, which glisten in the gaslight like so many diamonds.

On the right side is a broad panel of white silk brocaded in silver, aud separating this pane! from tho tulle flounce is a band of white marabout feathers. The long princess train falls from the waist in straight folds. The waist is cut shape back and front and the opening filled in with the silver bangled tulle. The sleeves come to the elbow, and from there to tbe waist is a dainty old-fashioned undersleeve of the tulle. Mrs Harrison will wear a diamond necklace strung with small stones and a pendant of tine gems.

Her gloves will be white, and so will the pretty Suede slippers, which are embroidered in silver thread and beads to match the gown. Altogether it is an extremely rich toiiet. Mrs. Hussell Harrison is to wear a dress which will greatly become her blonde beauty. Tbe full square train is of white satin striied with moire in three inch bands and brocaded on the satin in large pmk roses.

The front is of pale blue satin draped in pearl embroidered tulle. Tho bodice of blue satin is also embroidered in pearls, cut low back and front and edged with pale blue marabout feathers. She will wear blue satin slippers, blue feathers iu her hair, a blue leather fan and sapphire and jx'arl ornaments. Mrs. Levi 1'- Morton will probably wear a new Worth gown, with a full train of heavy Empire brocade, sprinkled with little pink flowers.

The front, of pale green brocade, will be covered with Venetian poins ln.ee. and the corsage of the brocade will bo edged with it. Rare diamond jewels will be worn. On the day of the military parade Mrs. Morton will wear a very handsome dress of black and yellow moire and satin, with a little bonnet to match.

REWARD FOR BLINKY MORGAN. Net a Cent Has Ever Been Made. Sheriff Lynch's Orphans. I a VENN April 2 s. Prosecuting Attorney Maxson, of this county, who convicted lllmky Morgan, has learned from Aljtna, that Mrs.

Lynch, widow of Sheriff Lynch, who was shot by Morgan just before his capture, died a few days ago, leaving four children with little property. It will remembered that rewards aggregating were offered for the arret and conviction of the rescuers of McMunn aud the murderers of Detective llulligan, of Cleveland. Although it is almost a year since Ulinky Morgan paid the pcualty of that crime with his life, not a cent of the reward has ever been paid to those who captured him. The Cleveland otlicers have always maintained that five men were concerned in the rescue of MeMuun at Kaveuna, and after the conviction and execution of Morgan application for one-fifth of the reward was made by tho widow of Sheriff Lynch. This application was made to Prosecuting Attorney Maxson, the commissioners of Portage county having offered a portion of the reward.

Owing to the death ol Sber'uV Lynch, who effected tho capture, Mr. Maxson suggested to, Mrs. Lynch that she ought to be appointed administratrix of her husband's estate iu order to receive tbe reward, and wrote her attorney in Alpena to this effect. It seems that one or two of the men who assisted Lynch in making tho capture alter his death would not consent to any portion of the reward going to his widow, and, owing to their inability to agree as to the maimer in which it should bo divided, not a cent has been paid to any one. To the suggestion matin by Mrs.

Lynch and her attorney Mr. Maxson has never received a reply, and this is the way the matter stands. Five thousand dollars of the were oilered by the State and the amount was appropriated a year ago last winter and is in the State treasury awaiting a claimant. If not claimed by next winter it will, according to law, have lapsed into the treasury and cannot bo paid. Mr.

Maxson thinks the other claimants shouid waive all right to their portiou of the reward and give it all to the fatherless and motherless. A CONVICT'S FORTUNE. Queer Story of Benjamin Law, of the Indiana State Prison. Jefferson vii.le, April 23. Benjamin Law has spent two years of his twelve-year sentence ia the Indiana State prison for manslaughter.

By the provisions of his grandfather's will, recently probated, young law comes iu for $75,000 in cold cash, not a dollar of which, however, he can enjoy until the expiration of his sentence, almost ten years hence. No less than three of Law's relatives are his fellow-convicts, all on diilerent charges. His father, William Benjamin Franklin Law, is serving out a sentence of 1" and one-half years for murder. The senior Law was disinherited, it seems, by his father, and will end his sentence a pauper, while his son emerges iu tho possession of a comfortable fortune. Mrs.

It is feared that big Bill Phillips, of Chicazo, first baseman of the Hamilton ball club, was among the killed in the railroad disaster near here this morning. PIANO LEATHER.

The Valuable Secret of a German Famdy at Thuringia. "The most costly leather in the world, so far as I know," said a dealer in fine skins and leathers, "is known to the trade as piano leather. American tanners years ago discovered the secret of making Russia leather, with its peculiarly pungent and lasting odor; but the secret of of tanning piano leather is known only to a famiiy of tanners in Thnringia, Germany. This leather has but one use, the covering of piano keys. A peculiar thing about it is that the skins from wh eh it is tanned are procured almost entirely in America.

It is a particular kind of buckskin. Tbe skin of the common red or Virginia deer will not make the leather, a species of tbe animal known as tiie gray deer, and found only in the vicinity of the great Northern lakes, alone furnishing the material. The German tanners have an agency in Detroit which collects the skins of this deer from the Indian anil half-breed huuters, who supply the market. The hunters are paid an averaee price of about 20 cents a pound for the green skins. When the skins are returned to this country as piano leather they cot tbe piano manufacturer from 515 to SiS a pound.

The world's supply of this invaluable and necessary material is supplied by the Kretzchmar family of tanners, who have six establishments in Germany, the largest and best at Gera iu Tharingia." Tunney's Mvst-enoui LisiODoaranco. The mysterious isanpearance of the boy John Tunney from the Carneeie blast furnace is still the talk of Braddock. Some think Tunney left his work and ran away, but others believe he fell into the furnace and was cremated. The Litter belief is shared in by the lad's father, who resides at Port Perry. Mr.

Tunney asserts that strips of his boy's clothing were picked ud around the furnace, and nothing will convince him that bis horrible suspicions are unfounded until he sees his eon alive.

Thus far the iron operators are non-committal as to what they desire or what course they will pursue.

With few exceptions there is a much larger supply of merchant iron in tbe warehouses throughout the Mahoning Valley than has been known fr several yrars, and the stock is increasing by reason of small orders.

How the Election was Conducted How the Sharks Thrived Before Colonel Dyer Took Charge The Exploit of Two Orphan Girls. Guthrie, Oklahoma, April s.

At yesterday's election iu this newly created city Colonel P. P. Dyer, of Kansas City, a Republican in politics and an Indian agent under President Arthur, was elected mayor. One of his first acts was to give the gamblers 24 hours to leave, and the next train North took away a good many of them. A few words are suilicient probably to tell the story of the election.

There wero two prominent candidates in the field from the beginning, a third one having dropped out of the contest soon after it began. The two candidates, lloggett and Hill, the former tho candidate of the gamblers, the other a man of no particular ideas or force of character. Attempts to secure an election by counting the adherents of each candidate proved unavailing, owing to the industry and perseverance of repeaters, who were out in lull force. MOW THEY SETTI.r.I) IT. Finally it was decided that each faction should choose three men, and that the six men chosen should select a seventh.

This council of seven was to name the mayor. The spirit of rivalry in this Hoard of Seven was pretty keen, for they argued aud debated for nearly three hours. At last, however, they agreed upon Colonel Dyer. The name was submitted to the crowd and proved acceptable. Everybody was tired of tbe squabbling.

The Hoard of Councilrr.cn was chosen soon after by the seven, ami a city hall was purchased for It is only a tent as yet, but it has no difficulty in sheltering the city fathers and their budding oratory. I'p to the decisive action of Mayor Dyer gamblers and thimble-riggers held undisputed sway in Guthrie. Imagine a continuous lino of tents, extending from the depot to the land ofiiee, three-quarters of a mile in length, and you have only a faint conception of the number of lavouts at which the pigeons were being plucked from early in the morning until late at There was no attempt to conceal or mitigate the revolting teatares of the business. It was practiced day and night under the eyes of the law, such as it was, and not the slightest effort was made to protect the victims. not very snuEwn f.itiikk.

Never was temptation ottered in so coarse a manner, or in less attractive forms. The silly and brutal swindle was so palpable, so barefaced in niue cases out of ten, that one wonders how any reasonable htiVnan leing could ever Iks trapped by gamesters of this kind; yet it is a fact that it is not the ignorant rustics who, as a rule, got caught in the meshes of the sporting fraternity, but rather what st'cms to be. the better class of settlers, the men who have knocked about in this world, to whom this sort of thing can certainly be no novelty, who have lived in good sized towns and are possessed of some means. Unable to accommodate all their customers in tents, the gamblers took to the streets, and it was a common sight to see them deal faro on a blanket spread on the highway, or upon some convenient invitiug corner lot. Not a dice box is seen anywhere, but tin cups and tomato cans serve the purpose equally well.

SOM EOF THE I.OSERH, The correspondent saw a young man lose $150 inside of half an hour. Another stepied into a tent while his train was waiting, aud dropped $20. Still another enriched a greasy old gambler by the value of his team of mules. Ho had been unsuccessful in locating a quarter section and had drifted into Guthrie in the expectation of securing some town lots. Kvcn the loss of his mules wiil probably not make him a wiser man.

Among the heroes of last Monday are two girls from Anthony, who displayed more pluck ami enterprise than most men would have shown under the circumstances.

Their name is John-sou. They aie orphans, and were left by the death of their parents with a homo on which there is a heavy debt. They arranged with a government employe at Kingfisher that lie should mark what he considered the best part of the town by sticking into the ground a large willow limb that could be seen from a distance. The girls started from the northern border of the territory along with the rest of the crowd, driving a blind mulo to. a buggy.

They made tho town site among the first and discovered the willow limb. LANDED SITTING DOWN. Making a bee-line for it, the driver passed the lines to her sister, ami, on reaching the spot, sprang to tho ground with a spade in her hand, striking the ground in a sitting position. In another second she was on her feet digging the earth with her spade in order to set the stakes. Each of the girls is now holding down a claim, aud botli are admired for their pluck.

An awiul quantity of powder and shot is daily being wasted in Guthrie. Fully 10,000 shots must be tired daily, especially at night, but somehow no one ever gets hurt. A deeply disgusted boomer who left the town this aiteruoon on the north bound train remarked that lie was mighty glad to get away from Guthrie with his scalp. He said that Sheridan's ride to Winchester was nothing compared to that which ho himself made on Monday to Guthrie. A.

Report That They Will Join Our Own Early This Week Cleveland's League Infants Ready for Their Littls Dose of Medicine. $rORTISG ISETTS OF THE SEASO-X. One of the bright fellows and notable haracters that landed in town last week with the Chicagos was Tom Gallagher. Ho is on the trip with the team as the representative of the Chicago Tribune, and what he overlooks on the journey will never cause that great journal to suspend Smblication.

As a sporting editor Gallagher is equipped with a faud of information and experience picked up through years of intimacy with all the leading men who lean that way in the country. At one stage he ranked among the great billiard players of America, and although he has laid aside the cue and dusted the chalk from h's raiment so far as professional billiards are concerned, he can still punch the ivories about in a way to make A man's head swim. Gallagher is a product of the "Western Reserve, having been born in Cleveland. He becan to develop strong points as a billiardist shortly after the close of the war. At this time he was doing the financial and commercial work for the Cleveland Commercial Heview.

He was also fleet of foot, and developed into one of the best sprinters and short distance xunners of the country. In 1873 and '74 he ran a number of races in Xew England, from 150 yards to a quarter of a mile, and beat all comers. He arranged to go to England to run Oick Buttery, then champion of the world, one-fourth of a mile, the Englishman having offered any one 15 yards start in that distance. He had strong backing, but sickness prevented the trip. In 1S76 he made a bid for admission to the centennial billiard tournament at Philadelphia, but through some inside workings was knocked out, Shaw, -3Se8singer and FOBter, men whom he could beat with ease, being given the prefer- ence.

In 1877 he assumed the position of assistant eocretary of the old St. Loh'is Jockey Club, and also took charge of the ieporting work on the Globe Democrat, a 'paper he was connected with, on and off, for about nine years. Gallagher's first notable experience as a professional billiard player was in 189, -when he took part in the tournament at Cooper Institute. It was the straight rail frame, and Schaefer, Sexton, Slossoo, Daly, Rudolph, Gamier, Heiser and Gallagher were the players. Scbaefer won the match and the champion--hip of America.

Gallagher succeeded Uu beating Sexton and Garnier out, Just previous to this ie picked up the title of "The Black-eniith" in a rather queer way, and it 'clung to him during his entire professional career. He and Rudolph were jilayine a match game at Cooper Institute Vine afternoon when Neil Bryant, brother of the great minstrel, and a friend came in. "Who are those fellows?" he asked. "Thpv ar nrnfAHMion a billiard nl a v.r 1 was the reply. "Why, they can't play 'billiards, they are blacksmiths," was his jinawer.

Amos Cummings, then city editor of the Sun, was present, and he icaught on at once. In his brilliant reports of the tournament he made use of "the term, and it clung to Gallagher to the end. The famous expression of "let 'er go Gallagher" was also inspired by Tom. One time in St. Louis he was playing a ixnatcb, and it got down to a close stage where the whole thing hinged on one shot.

Gallagher, who never had a finished lacked the dash of Schaefer, was studying the best way to make the play, when an impatient spectator shouted Let er go Gallagher." The papers took it up, and from that time on it has been a fix-. ture in the English we wrestle with. Tom will quit base ball in a few weeks, and take to the runners. He followed ihe trotters down the grand circuit for several seasons, but of late has leaned toward the jumpers. He wintered in California, where he wrote up the great etables of the Pacific Coast for the Tribune career, he has never drank a drop of intoxicating; beverage or used tobacco in any form.

He is very successful as a journalist, and has thousands upon thousands of mends all over the country. IT HDET THEM. FIN AJS CI ALLY. The Home Club Suffers Greatly Through the Bad Weather. Through bad weather the officials of the home team have lost many a good hard doilar since the season opened on Wednesday.

It would be difficult to make an es-tiniats of the sum, but it certainly amounts to several thousand dollars. A big crowd was expected ou Saturday, but the rain prevented the game, which means a dead loss. The games are dumped in so closely that there is no time at all to play oti' postponed contests. Auother bad feature of the schedule is that the Allies have but two games on the borne grounds during the month of May. The early struggles of all clubs are the iinost exciting as a rule, and in couse-: quence the most attractive.

By being deprived of liberal patronage at the start the club is a heavy loser, and unless the boys keep well up to the front the loss will be hard to make up. THEY WEBE BADLY I'OOLED.

Neither team appeared, and the vast throng, after much grumbling, melted away.

The grounds were in good condition in spite of the recent rains. President Byrne, of the JJrooklyn Club, was seen at his office at "Washington Park and said: "At noon the weather was so threatening that I did notified the Baltimore team and our own flayers." The mistake cost the home team several thousand dollars. The Giants to-morrow open their season at St. George, playing the Washington team. Wants a Go With Jackson.
