Editors Intelgrnccr'
see that the friends Of the Pittsburgh,
Wheeling and Kentucky Railroad have
printed petitions in circulation asking the
Board Of Supervisors to submit TO the
voters Of the county proposition to
authorize them to subscribe sum not
exceeding S2OOOOO to the capital stock of
this road.
When the proposition was formerly
before the Board, the question was whcth.
er they should authorize vote for n sub
scripti6n Of SlOOOOO or $4,000.
The Board gave them the largest
amount they asked for, and this was de.
feated by vote of the people.
When II is considered y that this sum is
asked for the construction Of the road
from the city to the mouth Of Short
Creek-a distance Of nine miles, on the
river bottom their proposition is, in my
Judgment cxlrnvngant and prcpOsterous.
The road from Wellsburg to the Pan
Handle Road, opposite Steubenyille,
has been contracted for, or bids received
from responsible parties for 10000
per mile, for the grading and bridging.
This would make $4,000 for the grading
IND building from the city to the mouth
OF Short Creek; $4,000 will secure the
right OF way; SjOOOO was allowed in
the proposition formerly submitted TO the
people Tor right Of way and depotgronnds

The securing clause that the amount to
he subscribed shall not exceed 100000
amounts to nothing The Board will

vote To take the whole amount All

Petitions to the Board Of Supervisors,
asking them To authorize another vote on
the question OF subscription to the pro-
posed Pittsburgh, Wheeling X Kentucky
Railroad, are in circulation and are being
freely signed. 1t is the almost universal
wish of Our citizens that the Board give
them another chance at this subscription.

from opposition to It.. Only small lrac-
tion of the vote Of the county was cast
Since then reelection and current events
have convinced hundreds, who were not
convinced before, that the building Of this
road has become business necessity to
this city that we cannot AiiOrdto lose the
opportunity that offers to secure the
road. The lessening Of railroad IA.

dered it absolutely necessary TO OBJ

have all along believed and yet do, that it
is the purpose of the Baltimore Il Ohio
Company to make through route over

need this short line to the northward. 1t

Hempfeld can be opened through, II the

The preliminary examination OF MIRA
Angela COlhurn, charged with poisoning

r. Raukins, Of Columbus, j. c. Nc.
Cloudy and j. F Chapman, of London,
appeared as attorney for the State, and
X A. Harrison, Of London, and c. N
Olds, of Columbus, for the defendant, The
defendant, together with her husband,
was present and the court house was
crowded with people, The examination
Of witnesses did not commence until two
O'Clock The only witness thus far on
the stand Is Prof TheO. G., Wormley,
The testimony Of W0rmley was more
minute than II was before the COrOncrs
inquest, but didnot differ materially from
that already sent, except in the following
Question. Did the examination furnish
any satisfactory evidence as to the cause
OF the death Ot the man IN whose body
the organs were:
a. would say that the natural infer.
enCG would he that the individual came
to his death from poison.
q. Are there any tests by which 1t eau
bG determined whether death In given
case resulted from poison with reasonable
certainty
A. The natural inference would bo that
the man was poisoned unless there should
be satisfactory explanation We might
go step further. With the aid Of ana
tomiCal investigation critical eXamIna-
tiOn OF the whole body might assist IN
determining tho question.
Professor WOrmley SAID further that
there was no case on record Of criminal
introduction Of arsenic intoa dead body
AT this point Judge Rankin, for tho pros.
ecution, moved that the coroner be ordered
to eXhume the body OF the deceased and
