SINCE the shooting of Chapman on
The 30th, very little else has been the
subject OF comment through the town,
which has been unusually quiet since.
Public opinion is divided, as is gener'
ally the case in such instances, and
many are warm in their expressions oil
sympathy for the murdered man, while
others think his murderer justiisble,
aud tina: he was only doing his duty in
trying to enforce the observance OF the
laws. 80

The town and vicinity is reported as
more healthy than it has been for sew
eral seasons.
BARNEY McNEAL, the man who had
aeven ribs broken and was otherwise
injured at the Riverside furnace few
weeks ago, is so Jar recovered that he
commenced work again on Monday.
A GENERAL cleaning up would do the
| town good, The streets look like they
| were filled with the accumulated dirt
and rubbish Of years, and some OF the
alleys and back yards are enough to
breed pesIileuce in hot weather. Why,
when the woods are so near, and elm,
maple, beech, and other shade trees
could be got for the trouble OF trsns-
planting them, do not the people plant
them through the town. With little
time spent every morning before or
evening alter work on private lOts or IN
the streets the town could soon be made

make it so uuattractive that one
hastens away, and it gives not even a
pleasant thought TO take with one.
MoSDAY ID the pay day at the River

paid out
THE Baltimore and Ohio railroad

seven car loads OF coke week before last.
Mr.. F. j. LIEARN, manager OF the
Riverside Furnace, who has been trav-
cling through the west in the interests
Of the company, returned this week and
reports himself as well satisfied with
the prospects 81 his company.
CONTRACTS are solicited for the work
on the new school house, which is TO
be built this season.
The Riverside Furnace company
have commenced making muck iron At
MOundsviIle, and express themselves as
much pleased with the quality they
turn out.
The county road is being repaired
and a pretty job is being made OF it.
1t will do for dry weather very well
but in winter or during the wet season
it will be vilIainous. Why, when
stone is so plenty, is some OF it not APP
piled to the repairing OF the roads.
This is a county road, aud one on
which there is great deal Of travel
and deserves to be made substantial, a.
all thoroughfares should be. The peo-
| pie over twenty-one and under fifty
wears OF age have road tax of g 80
each to pay, aud they are anxious to
know what is done with it. The only
really good road in the vicinity is that
by the Riverside Mills, and that ia kept
IN order by the company. 1t IS 10 be
hoped this will be attended to, as it is a
matter of interest to all persons In this
section.
The son OF Mr.. George Edwards who
is an employe at the Riverside Fur
mace, and who formerly lived in Wheel
ing, is not expected 10 live. He was
badly burned last winter at the Furnace
by cinders. The cars they haul the
cinders out 10 have sides that lift ont,
and one day last winter he was stand
ing warming himself by car OF cinders
that had run together and was red
hot mass of cinder, when it exploded
and burned his face and feet and differ
ent portions OF his body. Since then
be has been confined TO his bed and
suffered severely, aud now it is thought
he cannot linger much longer.
