A Fearful Galc,

CHARLESTON, 8. O., Sept 29.-The
most fearful gale in this city since 1859
occurred here today, beginning about
daylight with strong southeast winds and
increasing in violence until 0 o'clock,
when 1t became q hurricane. The tide
was forced up 10 an unprecedented
heighth, inundsting the entire river front
OF the city, damaging the wharves and in
some instances sweeping away the pier
heads. The battery, promenade resort,
was laid in ruins, and the public bathing
house was demolished. The shipping gen.
orally escaped serious damage. Some
small crafts were wrecked, but the large
vessels were only chaled. Throughout
the city fences and out-buildings were
destroyed, and branches were torn from
the trees, and during the heighth Of the
storm the cir was filed with slate and
tin stripped from the roofs, making the
streets impossible. The massive brick
walls of the new theatre, which had Just
been completed, with the exception ol
putting on the roof, and from It's position
in tho burnt district was exposed to the
full force Of the gale, were levelled with
the street. About noon the wind shifted
to the west, moderating the violence Of
the sea, and, It Is hop0d that the worst Is
over. Two houses are reported to be
swept away on 6ulhvan's Island, and one
life lost. The inmates OF the bathing
house were rescued with the utmost dil.

Railroad Accident.

BIN0HAMToN, N. Y, Sept 29.-The
accident on the Utica 8 Shensngo Valley
Railroad, to-day, occurred one and half
miles north Of Oxford at lilo o'clock.
The gravel train was standing on the
main track in deep cut, loading from
the bank. The condctors watch stopped OF
1910, and he did not knowIit, he con-
suited 1t after 1t had been stopped and
thonght he had time to load and get out
Of the way OF the passenger train coming
south. There was no signal man out, and
the passenger was running on time at
full speed. The engines struck and smash.
ed together, the tender of the passenger
train telescoplng in the mail, and the ex.
press car caught fire. Childs, the mail
agent, and Charles Lewis, engineer Of the
passenger train, crawled out with some
severe cuts and bruises. A fireman and
Orange Emmons, of Norwich, fell against
the front oi the boiler and were covered
with coal. They were dug out by the
railroad hands and passengers. The fire.
man was not much hurt, but Emmons is
thought to be fatally injured. The mail
car was burned, nearly consuming Childs'
body. No mail matter was saved. Mrs.
VIM. Faulkner, Of Fish Creek, an elderly
lady in the palace car, is thought to be
fatally Injured. The passenger cars were
filled with persons going 10 the Oxford

CIrcleville Herald and Union. {.
Ohio Is the choicest State name OF the
thirty.seven. It Is short, euphonious,
easy TO pronounce or write, devoid Of ai.
fectation, IN sense or sound, and may be
abbreviated with one letter.-StGte Jour.
nal.
And Ohio is, In some respect, the best
State in the Uuion. She contains within
her borders all necessary elements OF hu-
man substance and wealth, vegetable,
animal and mineral and she could sup
port population Of twelve million ol
souls in comfort and thrift. In q mineral.
ogicsl sense, the southeastern quarter Of
Ohio Is practically inexhaustible. Agri-
culturally, the northwestern quarter, we
believe, Is destined TO prove the most
productive, for there Is little or no waste
land-much OF II now clothed with dense
forest. The northeastern quarter, besides
It's rich iron and coal products, Ia cut up
into small tillsge farms and extensive
pastures, the latter Of which furnish the
famous butter and cheese of the State
The southwestern Is the best known
quarter, containing Cincinnati and sever
81 other large cities and consequently, as
yet, the most populous. We have tested
other States, in various parts Of the Union
but have always been glad to get back tc

Projected Railroad from tho West ,
Through Brooke County In th 10
State. 10 the East.


A Convention was held OF Mt. Vernon
Ohio, short time since, at which q rail
road was projected from the West 10 tn
East We have not much faith in TIL
construction Of an entire new line WhilI
80 many half-6nished ones arc waiting
Ioriwant OF capital; but as our county 4
on the proposed route, we extract from
correspondent Of the Brownsville Clipper
-Washington, Pa, Republican.
Information was presented at the Con.
venLion derived from actual survey
which show that from either Chicago Of
81. Louis 10 Coshocton Ohio, on the pro
posed line Of the Peoples Freight Rail
way Company, the work oi construction
would be very light, while between theSl
points the maximum grade going Eas
would be but twenty feet per mile, and
twenty.six feet going West. II was as.
serted by q gentleman there present
familiar with the country iu question,
and whose judgement Ia entitled TO much
weight, that the best line east from Cos
hocton, would bo found to pass by the
way Of TriCksville, through Oadiz Ohio
thence down Indian Short Greek 10 the
Ohio River, crossing that river into the
mouth OF the valley Of Short Greek, West
Virginia, from which gap leads in the
same course to the valley OF Buffalo creek
near Bethany, West Virginia.
II was asserted that the head waters Of
Buffalo creek and Ten Mile creek were 90
interlaced with each other as 10 provide
passage for railroad from the Ohio 10
the Monongahels rivers with low grades
at comparatively slight cost. Such line
10 following up Buffalo creek and down
Ten Mile creek, would pass in West Vir.
ginia near the village Of Bethany, and

gahelS river, 1t would pass down that
stream to Brownsville, thence follow up
the valley ol Redstone to o point near
Upper Middletown, thence through the
gap in the Chestnut ridge made by the
Youghiogheny river, thence climbing up
the east side Of Chestnut ridge toward
Donegal and across the valley 10 Laurel
Hill, thence Isoutherly along the west
side Of Laurel Hill across the glRdes To
Somerset and from there by an easy
grade 10 the summit Of the Allegheny
Mountains, near Berlin. From the sum-
nit of tho Allegheny Mountains to New
York, surveys have been made which
show very direct line with low grades
and easy construction. In addition to
the shortness Of this line and its low
grades, another great inducement to have
it selected for the coming Freight Rail-
way Is the fact that it passes through the
very heart Of the Bituminous coal region
Of Western Pennsylvania, as yet unde-
veloped. How important this Is will be
understood when It Is remembered that
onethird Of all the money received by
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, fol
freight passing over its road, Is derived
from the coal which goes upon the road
from only six miles Of It's line in West
moreland county. "a %. .t.
