MUCH DAMAGE DONE.<br />

Owners of Vessels Tied up at Cincinnati<br />

Fear That Destruction Will Be<br />

Widespread.<br />

Thousands of dollars' worth of property<br />

has been destroyed at Cincinnati as a result<br />

of the ice g<strong>org</strong>e, and much other property<br />

is in danger. According to reports from<br />

there, the damage done since Saturday, approximates<br />

over $100,000, the Monongahela<br />

River Consolidated Coal & Coke Co. being<br />

the principal sufferer. It is reported that<br />

the 105 barges swept away from different<br />

landings at Cincinnati, February 12, by the<br />

ice, were crushed during a movement of the<br />

jam February 25, when the ice moved 300<br />

feet. The g<strong>org</strong>e is 75 miles long, extending<br />

from North Bend, past Cincinnati, to<br />

Moscow.<br />

The Pittsburg and Cincinnati packet line<br />

has three steamboats at Cincinnati, the Keystone<br />

State, Virginia and Queen City. All<br />

arc in danger of being crushed in the ice<br />

pack, should a sudden breakup occur.<br />

—The Kennedy Coal & Coke Co., Johnstown,<br />

$1,000,000, incorporated; directors:<br />

Ge<strong>org</strong>e P.. Glenn, David Ott, Ge<strong>org</strong>e W.<br />

Reese, S. H. Cauffiel, Johnstown; H. H.<br />

Light, Lebanon; J. Blair Kennedy, Philadelphia.<br />

—A mule was the cause of a strike today<br />

at the Black Creek colliery, Hazelton.<br />

A driver boy was discharged for alleged<br />

cruelty to the animal, and then the<br />

other employees numbering about 100 quit<br />

work.<br />

—Fire at the plant of the Sharon Coke<br />

Company, Sharon, Pa., destroyed the boiler<br />

house roof and caused the sudden shutting<br />

down of the plant. The estimated loss is<br />

$4,000 and 125 men will be thrown out of<br />

employment.
