The CINCINNATI express trains east and

Parkersburg Division Of the Baltimore

the cars OF cuch train, were very badly
smashed, mounting one on the other.
Brakeman John Hambright had both legs
crushed below the knees, and was injured
internally. He died few hours after the
accident. The passengers and other train

POCKET PrcKED-A passenger on one
Of the trains which crossed the river at
Benwood, Thursday, had his pocket picked
by one OF the light,fngred gentry, who
has been hanging about that place and
Bellaire for several days. Fortunately for
the victim and tho community the thief
was caught and brought over to Bcnwood,
where he was to have an examination,
yesterday. We have not heard what was
the result, but trust that he was sent on
for further trial. The loss sustained by
the passenger was eight or nine dollars in
money, his railroad tickets and draft for
one hundred dollars. Whether the thief
disgorged his booty or not, our informant
did not know.

The Mississippi river has, within the last
few years been relieved Of some of the most
serious impediments to its navigation, and q
work sccom plished under the supervision Of
Gen. !. Il. Wilson and his able corps of
assistants, characteristic value to our inter
nsl commerce. The rapids improvements at
this point are wha. we are most particularly
interested in, and the money appropriated
for the purpose has been here spent with
circumspect thrift aud we now see great
improvements therefrom. The work already
accom- pIished, under Maj. C. j. Alien and
his predecessors, is as follows:
Duck Creek chain channel completed.
Big Sycamore chain work completed, but
not as first projected BY the engineers. The
channel is tortuous one, marked by buoys,
whereas it was intended TO have made q
straight channel through the chain $50 feet
wide. But this required so much cutting
and blasting that the old channel was taken
and widened in its course, and the dangers
IF navigation in great measure obViated.
Little Sycamore chain is not quite com
pleted, work being stopped by high water.
Moline chain completed as far as laid out.
Campbell's chain nearly finished
The foregoing work has been thoroughly
done as far as completed, and the money ap
propriated for the purpose all spent.
The work yet to be done is at follows:
Excavation of Smith chain, opposite lie
Claire, and St. Louis chain opposite Hamp-
ton; also the lower, or Shoemakers chain,
opposite the middle of Rock Island, and the
patches of rock known as Crab Island Patch
and Winnebago Patch.
TO complete this work properly will re-
qulre an additional appropriation of $780,
d0O, and as far as we can observe there is
net a cent set aside for this purpose in the
war budget. What will be done before the
conclusion Of the long summer session, we
cannot foretell, but that there has baen no
very earnest effort made to secure anv an
preparation is certainly tact, that if it does
nothing else argues the lukewarmness Of
Lord Hawley to the interests of his constit-
uents. The work was delayed last year by
the extraordinary October rise, which also
impeded the work during the whole winter
Little Sycamore chain was pumped out halt
dozen times or more, but the water en-
croaching, they were compelled to let it fill
and stop it up again. The dredges also at
tempted to remove the dams and debris last
fall, bat could not work in the existent depth
OF water This work suffered delay like all
the other work in this vicinity depending
upon the stage of water. But Notwithstanding
the delay great deal has been done and
wen aone' and Congress should consult the
interests ef the West, and their duty to the
people of the whole Mis.iss;pp; valley nv
furnishing the means to finish What has
been so well and thoroughly begun.
