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 />

—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.
