WILEY RAILROAD QUESTION

The discussion in the City Council
TUESDAY night, reported elsewhere, gives
Frise to the suspicion, which seems already
TO have found Judgment i'll the minds Of
Col. Harman, of the Directory, and sew
Leral members Of the Council that there
is q readiness, not to say an effort. in SOME
quarters to hand the Valley Railroad over
1 to the Baltimore & Ohio r. r. Co. some
thing after the manner of the Parkersbnrg
Iand ConnelsviHe roads. The sudden
withdrawal of aid by the B. 4 O. Co.,
without any sudden financial reason to
kajustify it, is adduced to strengthen the

THE HARD TIMEs.-As illustrative of
the hard times it may be mentioned that
contributions to the foreign missions of
the Evangelical Churches never came in so
slowly as in 1874. The Presbyterian
Board, "after curtailing its operations
materially and painfully,' finds that it will
not receive enough to meet its expenses.
The American Board has closed its fiscal
year with IL deficit of $50 900. The Meth
odist Board are said to be S100,O in debt.
The Reformed Church is largely i'll arrears,
and SO, it is believed, are the Southern
Presbyterians and Raptists.

SHOCKING ACCIDENTAL Huntington,
W. Va, Saturday week, Mr.. Sgman met
with a frightful death. The ''Commercial'
says:
On Saturday afternoon, Mr.. Sigman, who
had charge Of the ''coal tipple.'' at the
eastern section Of Huntington, while push
ing a car loaded with coal upon the turn
table, failed to notice that a second car
loaded with coal had broken loose from the
train and was approaching the table with
considerable velocity. In a twinkling the
unfortunate man was damned between the
merciless bumpers and his body horribly
crushed. When released from his awful
position his eye balls had protruded from
their sockets, blood was oozing from his
ears and mouth, and besides having his
abdomen terribly bruised and lacerated, it
was found that the flesh upon his left side
was mangled in such a manner that per-
sons familiar with such scenes turned from
the sight in sickness. The flesh on his side
for more than twelve inches was torn into
a Jagged mass, while in the Dloo'iy gap
could be seen the quivering muscles. At
nine O'Clock Sunday morning the mangled
mass suddenly became composed. and a
few minutes later ''life's lamp went quietly
OUT Mr.. Sigman's remains were carried
to Ohio on Monday morning, where his
mother resides.
