FOUNDING A CRY AT GUYANDoTTE.
1t is stated that the Chesapeake
and Ohio Railroad have purchased
large tract of land on the river
side, at the point of intersection of
the Guyandotte river with the Ohio,
and extending down four miles

bridge across the Ohio will be built
there, and the leading capitalists
have taken hold of the enterprise to
make it the leading city of the upper
Ohio, calculating upon advantages
which are not possessed by any
other locality.
So say our West Virginia ex-
changes. Now, without any rail-
road for Gallipolis, and consequent

imports, save what our fathers en-
joyed half a century ago, what is to
become of our city2 Is it possible
that the property holders and mer-
chants, the mechanics and the labor
ers, are so utterly oblivious to their
own interests as to withhold the
means of establishing that sine qua
non, railroad. How are we to get
to the great centres of traffic, with.
out going miles and miles out of
way, unless we can establish direct
communication with one of the lead
ing lines and thus be in position to
compete with the surrounding towns
and cities in prices, of imported and
home manufactures, as well as the
easy transportation of farming and
other produce? Ifw do not help
ourselves in this matter, we cannot
expect assistance from without

HaT A fracus occurred at Rankin s
Point onSaturdaY morning last, about
2 o'clock, eventuating in the death
of man named Sheets. 1t appears
that a number of persons had col
lected at a deserted house, and were
enjoying themselves in dance. A
constable named Sewers, who had q
warrant against one of the party
called upon Sheets to assist him,
the arrest was resisted, blows were
exchanged, one of which took effect
on the head or some vital part of
Sheets, who expired in about half
an hours. A message was re-
ceived during the day, calling on
Marshal Langley to go down and
make the arrest, of the person sup
posed to have inflicted the blow, one
Williams, who with one or two
others were secured and having been
examined before a justice, were COM
mitted to the county Jail TO await
their trial at the next court.

E Mr.. G. D. MCBRIDE, the mu-
sic teacher, came near meeting with
a serious accident last Friday. He
rode his horse to the river for water,
and went too far in, his horse and
himself going over the abutment.
Luckily, both got out with nothing
more serious than good wetting,
although at one time it was feared
the horse would be lost. ss be got his
head under one of the coal boats,
and with some difficulty extricated
himself
This should prove warning to
others not to be caught in the same
predicament.

~ Another Railroad project for
Southeastern Ohio has made its ap-
pearance. 1t is to run from Colum
bus to Portsmouth, and, as we un-
derstand 1t, it is a scheme of our
friends down the river to secure a
Northwest connection with the Ches-
apeake road via Sandy, instead of
down the Kanawha and via Logan.
In this our people will see further
evidence of the need of activity in
behalf of their enterprise, if they do
not wish to be cut off altogether.
We must wake up, and 60 in with a
will that no opposition can intimi-
date, or else we shall be buried so
deep that GabriePs last blow will
not reach US.

H Prof. Newberry, who has re-
Gently visited the Hooking Valley
coal regions, thinks that the mineral
resources of Hooking county are
richer than those of even the great
coal counties of southern Ohio. He
believes that no finsr opportunities
for making productive investments
can be found within the limits of the
United States Columbus Journal.
Build our railroad to Logan, and
this rich and important section will
have the best and shortest opening
to the river that can be presented to
it. Is it not worth more of an effort,
than has yet been made by the
masses, to have such q roadP Coal
and iron are in untold quantities!
Wake up, and put the road through.

E The Chillicothe Advertiser thus
states the circumstances of the death
of Mr.. JOHN LAWSON:
"Hearing that a man had been kill
ed by accident, in the yard of the Rail-
road Company, we repaired to the
scene and found Coroner Tucker in
charge of the mangled remains of a
human body, and one of the jurymen
standing with the head in his hand ten
feet distant from the body. The head
was recognized by us as that of John
Lawson, of Gallipolis, whom we had
noticed in our city but a few days
since, in the vigor of health and man
hood. 1t seems that Lawson had re-
manned in the city over night with
some friends, and had repaired to the
depot, to await the train going east,
when he expected to go home to CALI
polls. Seeing the shade, he sought
refuge under some freight cars on the
side track, and fell asleep with his
neck on his arm, the latter resting on
one of the rails. An engine came out
and proceeded to shift the cars for the
making up of train, and they moved
backward and forward several times
over the unconscious Lawson. His re-
mains were taken in charge by mem
bers of the Masonic Order, and for
warded to his family at Gallipolis."
The verdict of the Coroner's Jury
was that he came '.to his death BY be.
