vested. On Saturday last meeting OF
the stockholders was held in Wheeling
for the purpose of making arrangements
whereby Mr.. Smith would throw up his
share of the stock, which he refused 10

TERRIBLE STORM Woman Drotened.
The storm of Sunday night, which lasted
about an hour was in every respect the
greatest storm without any exception
that has occurred in this section OF the
country for considerable time. For Il
| full hour the whole heavens were lllu-
minated by continuous flashes OF light
ming and the constant pealS of thunder
were terrible. The earth was delug"d
with torrents of water. which Swel!ed
In 1ian run to height never before at
tanned. The principal sufferers from
the the overflow OF Indian
run were family by the
name of Coonrod living on the run in
the northern part of the city, composed
of the husband, John Coonrod, his wife
Catharina and three children, one of
whom was ut the wifes fathers near by.
| The water surrounding the house, Mrs.
| Coonrod prevailed on her husband to
leave the house and seek safety outside.
| The husband taking one child and the
wife the other they essaved TO do 50 by
| getting out the back window. They
were no sooner in the stream when they
were struck bya log and Knocked oltthcir
feet. Mr.. CoOnrOd managed after great
exertions to reach shore in safety, with
the child he had in charge. 1t was sup
posed that when they were knocked down
bv the log that the child Mrs. COonrod
had in charge fell from her arms, aS 1t
foatcd to the opposite side of the stream
and was rescued by VIM. Marlin, a man
living near the scene of action.
The wife was shcard as she passed her
fathers house, to cry out for help,
and that was the last heard
from her. Up to the present writing
her body has not been recovered.
The supposition is that it was carried by
the stream out into the river, in which
case its recovery is doubtful. She was
member of the Presbyterian Church Of
this city. Our sympathy is with tn" huS-
band and near relations Of the uniortu-
nate lady.
Since writing the above We learn that
Mrs. Coonrods body was found ut the
mouth of Indian run among the brush
| and rubbish collected there.
THE house of c. Hotchkiss was flooded
| with water from Indian run, and the
clothing and bed clothes wcr" 50 Saturat-
ed BY water that they are completely
ruined Further up Barnard bridge was
washed entirely out.
A YOUNG man by the name of {. {.
Schultz, who left this city Sunday even
ing in company with Miss Laura Comp
ton, on a visit to Wheeling, was detained
until late by the storm, and when return
ing came to bridge crossing at Indian
run, they found it completely covered by
water. Venturing to cross. the buggy
run on a log. which had driitrd on the
bridge, oycrturning tn" buggy and
throwing its occupants into the stream,
ind they were swept by the force of the
TRENT under the bridge. and,
carried about twenty-five wards down
stream. when Mr.. Schultz caught on II log
and as he was struggling in the water,
something struck him, which proved to
be Miss Compton, perfectly inScnslbLr.
With the assistance of the log and ire
mcndous exertions of his own, they were
both saved. This in itself. would reflect
great credit on the bravcness and cool
ness in time of danger of Mr.. Shultz. but
after saving himself and Mis- Compton,
he returned to the horse, and by cutting
the harness freed the animal who SWAIN
ashorb During all this time there were
several persons on shor" with lanterns.
and of them not one volunteered
assistance of any kind We did not
learn the names of these magnunimuuS
personagcs, nor have We any particular
desire to do so.
ALL streams in and around Bcllairc
were higher than they ever wcr" before.
Considerable damage WA, done by the
water in many places, and the amount of
property destroyed on Brooks. Pinch
runs. and the stream from off Rod"hitir
hill. in South Bcllairc, would probably
amount to $4,000.
